Xiong Miao looked up to see Zhan Zifeng looking at her from the corner of his eye.

Only then did she realize that the car had already stopped. She had been so engrossed in her phone that she hadn’t even noticed they had arrived.

“I’m here, thank you for driving me home. Please drive safely,” Xiong Miao hastily said, pushing the car door open.

“Do you want me to walk you in?” Zhan Zifeng was quite the gentleman.

“No, no, it’s just a few steps away. I can manage,” Xiong Miao quickly dismissed, waving her hands.

This wasn’t even my house, which one was he trying to walk me to?

“Okay, go ahead. Don’t catch a cold,” Zhan Zifeng said warmly before driving off.”

It was only after the car left that Xiong Miao realized she was still wearing Zhan Zifeng’s jacket. She had exited the car in such a rush that she forgot to return his clothes.

Xiong Miao walked out of the residential area, hailed a cab on the roadside, and gave the driver the address for New City Hua District.

Picking up her phone again, she noticed the friend, whose username was “Ye,” had not responded. Ye’s avatar was rather plain, a dark night sky with a few faintly glowing stars. In this day and age, it’s rare for someone to use a night sky as their profile picture. Most people use their own selfies or family photos.

Zhan Yeling, being so handsome, was wasting an opportunity not having a selfie as his profile picture.

Xiong Miao clicked into his social feed. The most recent post was work-related, an announcement for a quarterly meeting, which was a repost.

Below the post, a note read: “Friends can only see content from the last three days.”

Well, Zhan Yeling’s social feed was just as boring as he was.

When she arrived at New City Hua District, Xiong Miao instinctively adjusted the jacket on her, then walked into the community.

“Honk honk…” A car honked twice.

Xiong Miao moved aside, thinking she was blocking someone’s way. But the more she tried to give way, the closer the black car approached, leaving her no room to continue walking. So, she stopped.

The car door opened, a pair of shiny black leather shoes hit the pavement, followed by a tall figure exiting the vehicle.

When she recognized the extraordinarily handsome face of the man, Xiong Miao was dumbfounded on the spot.

Why was Zhan Yeling in her residential complex?

Had he come looking for her?

She panicked. His tall, imposing figure towered over her petite body, making her take a couple of steps back involuntarily.

“Mr. Zhan, why are you here so late?”

Zhan Yeling’s gaze swept over her, his deep-set eyes cold as ice. “You’re quite something, managing to get Zhan Zifeng’s attention in such a short time.”

He’d noticed their little interactions at the banquet.

“Mr. Zhan… uh…” Before Xiong Miao could finish her sentence, her throat was abruptly gripped by his large hand.

Her breath was cut off instantly, leaving Xiong Miao nearly choking.

What had she done to anger Zhan Yeling this time?

Was he really trying to strangle her?

In a desperate fight for survival, Xiong Miao grabbed his arm, managing to gasp out, “Let… let me go…”

“Can’t you live without a man? In that case, I’ll send you to hell right now!” Zhan Yeling gritted his teeth, his words as chilling as a demon.

His eyes, black as obsidian, were bottomless pits exuding a dangerous aura.

This version of Zhan Yeling terrified Xiong Miao.
