She sent four or five messages in a row, but all of them gone in smoke, with not even a hint of a response from the other side.
Lu Yanxi scratched her head—could it be that he had already gone to sleep?
That shouldn’t be the case; he should have just gotten home, right?
Why wasn’t he replying to her texts? Could it be that he was unhappy about being used by her? When in front of Second Brother, he would still give her face and chat a bit, but once back home, he simply ignored her?
Lu Yanxi constructed a whole bunch of scenarios in her head, and even after a trip to the restroom, she continued to ponder.
However, she couldn’t let her imagination run wild for too long—soon, under the influence of alcohol, she drifted into a deep sleep.
In a villa adorned with opulent and elegant decor, Xie Xingchen, clad in a custom-made suit, was sipping on a hangover soup freshly brewed by the servants while talking on the phone with Father Xie.
Due to the family’s involvement in the entertainment industry, the Xie Family typically worked at night and rested during the day, so even though it was already midnight, Father Xie was still brimming with vigor.
“Didn’t I call you back home last month? Why haven’t you returned yet?”
“The two projects here have just started. If I go back now, what will happen to them? We’ve invested several hundred million in initial funding; we can’t let that go to waste, can we?”
“Then come back for a short trip, get married, and then go back to manage the projects.”
“Married? Didn’t we agree to wait another two years? Why the sudden rush?”
“When did I ever say wait another two years? You’ve always dragged your feet about getting married. This time, don’t give me any excuses. The marriage has been arranged for a long time, and you must marry! You’re not getting any younger; in a few years, you’re going to be thirty. It’s time you settled down. Once you’re married, you can’t go gallivanting every day, you must come back and help me run the company!”
“Hold on, I have no interest in your company. Marriage we can discuss, but running the company is out of the question!”
Xie Xingchen finished speaking and hung up the phone.

The hangover soup he was about to drink suddenly became hard to swallow, but he still forced himself to finish it.
This was a habit he’d developed long ago; he would smile and force himself to eat things he didn’t like, embark on tasks he despised with a grin and gritted teeth, and even agree cheerfully to marry a woman he didn’t like if his father told him to.
From a young age, he had always disguised himself perfectly, all to win his father’s favor. Even now, when there was no need to pretend, he couldn’t shed the habit that brought him such agony.
The one thing he hadn’t forced himself to do was return home to run the family’s entertainment company.
Of course, “entertainment company” was just a euphemism—what the Xie Family ran was actually a gaming industry, operating casinos of all sizes.
Xie Xingchen didn’t like these things; he continually advised his father to switch industries, but Father Xie wouldn’t listen to him.
Father Xie was ambitious and now wanted to use his children’s marriages to form alliance marriages with other families, to swallow up other entertainment companies and become the leading figure in the island’s gaming industry—a desire for everlasting dominance.
Since he couldn’t persuade his father, Xie Xingchen found his own way to switch industries, to avoid his family’s downfall should the business encounter any problems.
The gaming industry was perilous and fundamentally unstable—people complimented the wealth of the Xie Family to their faces but behind their backs, slandered them for making easy money and losing conscience—they were widely despised.
Families with even a bit of heritage were unwilling to enter into marriage alliances with the Xie Family. Only those from the same circle, who wouldn’t disdain each other, would engage in intermarriages, huddling together for warmth.
Xie Xingchen sat on the sofa, his brow deeply furrowed.
Was he really about to get married? He couldn’t quite remember what his fiancée looked like; he just recalled that she had a domineering and brash personality.
However, it was predictable that his carefree days would soon be over; once married, he could no longer live as unbound as he was doing now.
He looked down at his mobile phone, which showed several unread messages.
He first read the one from Lu Lingche: “Don’t casually reveal your strength outside.”
