"Rip!"

The sharp sound of clothes being torn echoed across the entire hotel room.

"Hurry... give me... I'm feeling hot... too hot!"

A ravishing beauty, her clothes tattered, lay before him partially exposed, her fervent body continuously pressing forward. The room's amorous atmosphere had unknowingly escalated to its peak.

However, Xiao Yun remained unperturbed, merely flipping his palm gentle to press against the side of the woman's neck.

The woman, initially thrown into a haze due to some drug, instantly calmed down and lay back on the velvet bed.

Xiao Yun was tranquil, his fingers moving as swift as lightning, pressing successively on the woman's three acupoints - the Shenque, Lingtai, and Fengchi. The woman, who was barely awake, let out a soft whimper, unexpectedly exhaling a cherry-colored mist from her mouth.

This was surely the aphrodisiac she had been tricked into consuming earlier in the evening. Once the cherry mist was exhaled, the blush on her face quickly faded, and her restless pulse and heartbeat returned to normal.

With just his pressing against her acupoints using the right pressure, Xiao Yun expelled the drug from her body. If any skilled physician were here, they would marvel in astonishment at this feat - it was truly a divine skill!

Xiao Yun then covered her with the quilt, and sat by the side of the bed, silently studying her face.

The woman appeared to be about twenty-three or twenty-four years old. Perfectly in the middle of the transition from youthfulness to maturity, her features were delicate, her skin white and radiant, without a single flaw. Even though her makeup seemed slightly smudged, she still possessed an incredibly beautiful visage that would spell trouble despite all odds.

Under the thin blanket, her curvy silhouette was barely concealed, adding to her allure and charm. This was indeed a rare beauty of this world, capable of causing ninety-nine percent of men to be infatuated.

However, in Xiao Yun's eyes, there was no lust, only a trace of lingering affection and gentleness deep in his pupils.

"You resemble her very much, but you are not her."

"You're fortunate to have encountered me today. Be more cautious on your journey ahead!"

Having said that, Xiao Yun's expression returned to calm as he got up directly and left, leaving only a firmly closed door behind.

The next morning, Han Mengyao woke up from her sleep. When she realized her disheveled clothes and the surroundings at that moment, her heart trembled on the spot.

"Could it be..."

She hastily sat up, checking her body over and over again. Once she confirmed that she had not been violated, her expression finally calmed down.

She tried hard to recall what happened last night. She remembered that she seemed to be negotiating a cooperation with the young master of Tianlin Group, and several intermediaries were also there to accompany her.

However, at the drinking party, she only drank two glasses of red wine, then felt dizzy, aware that something was wrong, she left under the pretext of going to the bathroom, and finally seemed to successfully hop into a taxi.

But what happened afterwards, she just couldn't remember at all!

"Was it the taxi driver?"

Almost instantly, she had a decision in her heart, and immediately dialed her assistant's number.

Two hours later, Han Mengyao had changed into a professional dress suit, sitting in the café under the hotel, holding the received information and slightly lost in thought.

Name: Xiao Yun!

Age: 25!

Height: 183 cm!

Profession: Taxi Driver! He had previous jobs as an electrician, carpenter, welder, designated driver, etc!

Family Background: Unknown!

Address: East Suburb's Log Cabin!

The information showed a picture left by the taxi company. Xiao Yun's features in the picture were clear and distinctive. Although he wasn't exceptionally handsome, he had a peculiarly appealing look. With just one look, it felt as if it couldn't be forgotten.

Han Mengyao stared at Xiao Yun's photo, for a good dozen seconds. It wasn't until her female assistant spoke up that she snapped back to reality.

"Ms. Han, according to the hotel's surveillance, this is the man who helped you into your room!"

"After he escorted you to the room, he left in just three minutes. Based on this, he probably didn't..."

The assistant's word was cut short when Han Mengyao raised her hand to interrupt her.

"There's no need to say more, Xiao Wu. I need you to draft a contract for me, as soon as possible!"

"After it's written, I'm making a trip to the suburbs!"

Qian Nan City's suburbs were quite far from the city center, located in a yet-to-be developed remote area, and were the most underprivileged places in Qian Nan City.

The east area of Qian Nan, in particular, was a unique case. It was rarely visited and hardly had any human activities.

However, by a small stream in the eastern area of Qian Nan, there was a log cabin. This cabin, less than 100 square meters, was purely made of wood. Although it was very simple, the carpentry was very delicate and unique.

Outside the cabin, there was a small fenced area with a few chickens and ducks scattered about, rendering a rural and pastoral ambiance.

At this moment, Xiao Yun was standing by the stream, washing his taxi. His movements were proficient, indicating he was accustomed to this kind of daily chore.

Just then, a Mercedes-Benz S450 suddenly drove up, stopping near the stream.

A tall woman got off the car from the back seat and quickly walked towards Xiao Yun.

"What did you do last night?"

The one who asked was Han Mengyin, standing with her arms crossed, her face looking down upon him from a height, her tone full of accusation.

With her query, she continued observing Xiao Yun, her eyebrows frowned slightly.

Xiao Yun had an above-average appearance that was quite pleasing to the eyes, but his attire was nothing more than old-fashioned rough hemp clothes that had severely faded from countless washes.

Seeing Xiao Yun's living condition, she could not help but shake her head in her heart.

Crude, poor!

That was her first impression of Xiao Yun!

"It's you!"

Xiao Yun cast a glance and paused his actions when he recognized Han Mengyin.

"Did you come here to interrogate me?"

"If you feel that I've done something that has infringed on your interests or personal safety, you can call the police directly, no need to ask me!"

Having said that, he continued with his work as if Han Mengyin was nothing but a wisp of air.

Xiao Yun's attitude and reply caught Han Mengyin off guard, finding it quite strange.

Although she did not care much about her looks and charm, she knew very well how many men coveted her, including rich young masters, accomplished scholars, and children of powerful families.

Every time she was out on the streets, countless men would give her glances that seemed to stick to her body, unable to move their eyes away.

Among all the men she knew, none of them treated her with anything less than the utmost courtesy and attentiveness. Yet, Xiao Yun's behavior was extremely aloof.

She couldn't understand. Xiao Yun was just an ordinary taxi driver, while her pool of suitors could easily squash him like a bug. Why would he dare to be so dismissive towards her?

But within moments, she figured it out.

"Humph, what a show-off!"

In her view, Xiao Yun was merely pretending to be profound in a bid to capture her attention.

This ploy was so old and overused that seeing it again only made her feel more disdain.

"Alright, I won't dwell on what happened last night, as long as you can keep your mouth shut!"

"I'm here today for a serious matter."

With that, she took out a document from the briefcase she carried around, handing it over to Xiao Yun.

"This is an agreement. If you agree to marry me and maintain the marriage for a year, once that year is over, we will divorce promptly. At that time, you will receive five million, a house worth around a million, and a car valued under a million.

"The document contains certain rules and notes to heed during the marriage. As long as you follow them, after a year, you can escape your current impoverished life and this remote mountainous area!"

Han Mengyao spoke in a clear and strong voice, her eyes full of self-assured confidence. She was sure that Xiao Yun would agree.

After all, such a skyrocketing opportunity was something others wouldn't even dare to dream about. How could Xiao Yun pass it up?

She didn't believe that anyone would choose to live in such a Godforsaken place their entire life.

But just when she was full of confidence, waiting for Xiao Yun to sign, his next words left her in shock.

"Not interested!"

At these words, Han Mengyao could hardly believe her own ears.

Within a year, earning five million and a property, which is already more than ninety percent of the people in QianNan City, countless twenties and thirties yearn for and dream of getting such an opportunity.

Yet, Xiao Yun rejected it outright without even considering?

Han Mengyao hesitated for a moment before saying in a cold voice, "Xiao Yun, some opportunities vanish in an instant, and once they're gone, they never come back!"

"Look at the place where you live, remote and desolate, without any decent exterior decoration. You're just a taxi driver earning a monthly wage of six or seven thousand. If you want to buy a decent house in Qian Yun, even if you were to starve and stop drinking, it would take at least two years to make the down payment!"

She was like a proud phoenix, condescending and looking down at Xiao Yun.

"I have your information. You came to QianNan City two years ago, with no academic qualifications. In this period, you have changed no less than ten jobs!"

"You should be very clear. At twenty-five, being in this state can prove that you are not talented and your lifetime achievements are extremely limited!"

"And all you need to do is sign this agreement, and a year later, you'll get something you can't attain in your lifetime!"

"This choice should be easy, right?"

Han Mengyao elaborated on this, but throughout, Xiao Yun never lifted his head, only focusing on the taxi in front of him.

Once Han Mengyao finished speaking, he then replied at his own pace.

"My life isn't up for others' judgment!"

"You can leave now. Don't disturb me while I'm washing the car!"

This time, Han Mengrou was utterly dumbfounded.

She thought she would persuade Xiao Yun with reason and emotional appeal, yet who would have imagined that Xiao Yun remained unmoved.

"This guy is truly like poor clay that cannot be worked into a wall!"

Han Mengrou cursed at Xiao Yun in her heart. After a moment, her eyes flickered, having already thought of a new argument.

"Fine, I won't talk about your life anymore!"

"But speaking of last night, although you didn't do anything, you've already seen my body!"

"How about that score, how do you reckon we should settle it?"
