The bathroom was filled with mist, the air so hot that it rendered her breathless.
A meter away from her stood a man, staring at her intently with his slightly squinted eyes. They were like a deep, black ocean—mysterious, profound, slightly dangerous and filled with fervor. His gaze was so intense, it felt as if she was stripped bare and standing helpless and embarrassed before him.
As she took a step back, he silently but promptly moved forward, his eyes never leaving her for even a second.
With her back against the icy cold wall, she stumbled back. There was nowhere else to run, she looked at him in fear and confusion!
He began to calmly and invariably unbutton his shirt, lips slightly parting to let out a seductive voice that whispered into her ear—
“I want you to remember that you can only be mine.”
…
“Ah…”
Suddenly, Qiao Wei Yi awakened from her nightmare, beads of sweat covering her pale and beautiful forehead.
She looked around in panic. In front of her was a computer, and turning to the window, she saw the green leaves of the plane tree gently swaying in the sun.
Qiao Wei Yi reached up to wipe the sweat from her forehead, took a deep breath, and closed her eyes.
Thank goodness it was just a dream.
Although this nightmare had been haunting her for whole five years.
With her eyes still closed, Qiao Wei Yi fruitlessly reached for the lemon tea on the table, took a sip, and finally felt the heaviness and fear in her chest subsiding.
Was it because she had returned to City A? The scenes in her dreams were terrifyingly clear, as if it were five years ago. Just thinking about them made her palpitations worse, she felt scared and uneasy.
At this point, the silver phone on the table began to vibrate.
Joey opened her eyes to check the phone, the incoming call showed the kindergarten teacher's name, she furrowed her brows. It was still the time for the midday nap, what could be the reason for the teacher to call her at this time?
"Hello..."
"Miss Joey, your kid, Little Jo, got into a fight with someone. Are you available now? We hope you could rush over as soon as possible..."
Joey's pupils suddenly constricted!
Little Jo, with his tiny body, actually picked a fight with someone at the kindergarten!
Joey quickly spoke a few words with the teacher, grabbed her bag and keys, and hurried out the door.
...
At the entrance of the kindergarten, Joey tidied up her hair. After a familiar registration at the guard's booth, she quickly went inside.
Just as Joey left, a low-profile luxurious limited edition black Bentley parked by the side of the road. The driver's door opened and out stepped a man in a black uniform adorned with gold. He walked to the back of the car, his hand - clad in a white glove - opened the rear door.
Straight and slender legs stretched out from inside the vehicle, perfectly encased in slim-cut, well-tailored pants.
The long legs gracefully touched the ground, with leather shoes tapping on the bluestone, echoing a light "clack" sound.
The kindergarten guard, who had been leaning lazily on the black leather chair, casually glanced outside. He was immediately startled and hurriedly straightened up his uniform, standing up with a welcoming smile on his face!
"Director Zhang, what brings you here today in person?"
Zhang Shiyan regarded the obsequiously welcoming look on the guard's face, his thin lips curled up into a faint smile.
He might have been of a noble stature, yet he was neither haughty nor arrogant. His son was studying here. Despite his high-level status, enough to intimidate the masses, treating his son like a crown prince was not his intention. The use of his power and prestige to force people to respect his son seemed less appealing than simply being kind to others and letting them take genuine care of his son.
Even if it was just a humble security guard in front of him, Zhang Shiyan did not act in a condescending manner.
"Teacher Xiao Zhou said, my son Niansheng had a fight with a friend today, so I came here to..."
His gaze casually fell on a figure swiftly walking into the kindergarten. Suddenly, his sexy voice trailed off, his back stiffened!
Ah Sheng!
Zhang Shiyan stared intently at that figure. Seeing Zhang Shiyan fall silent, the security guard quickly filled the silence with a smile, "Young Master Zhang is bright, cute, and adorable. He is an absolute sweetheart. It must have been the other child who was not behaving well. I am certain that it was not Young Master Zhang's fault..."
Before the security guard could finish his flattery, he saw Zhang Shiyan, who was just standing in front of him, sprint towards the kindergarten entrance at top speed!
The security guard opened his mouth wide, his face full of confusion. What on earth had just happened?
