Empire Jiangling Hotel.

Inside the hotel lobby, there were shadows of people, with a lively atmosphere.

The annual Jiangling Winery Wine Tasting Gala was in full swing, attracting many social elites and celebrities to attend.

A young girl walked through the crowd and arrived at the staff lounge. The tiny earphones in her ears transmitted a faint voice: "Lengyue, the target is room 8888 on the eighth floor of the hotel. Take action."

"Understood," Lengyue replied softly. She quickly took off her seductive maid outfit and changed into a black tight-fitting suit.

On the eighth floor, there was no one in the corridor. Lengyue quickly flashed to the door of room 8888 and pressed her ear against it.

With her exceptional hearing, she confirmed that there was no one in the room. Lengyue took out a smart card from her pocket, which was installed with a decryption program, and placed it on the sensor.

Just as she had infiltrated the room, there was a sudden sound from outside the door.

Lengyue didn't have time to think, so she quickly hid behind the curtain.

The door of the room opened, and a young man with a tall and slender figure, dressed in a high-end suit, walked in.

Hiding behind the curtain, Lengyue secretly looked and realized that the man with the scar on his face, whom she was supposed to capture, was not the one who entered the room. This young man had a handsome and extraordinary appearance, with well-defined facial features. She had never seen such a good-looking man before.

The young man didn't notice her presence. He picked up the red wine and wine glass on the coffee table, poured a glass, swirled it around, and took a sip.

After a moment, the young man suddenly took off his clothes, revealing a solid and well-shaped back.

This scene was too sudden, causing Lengyue to involuntarily let out a low exclamation, not knowing whether it was because she was amazed by the young man's physique or startled.

"Who's there?"

The young man coldly questioned as he walked over and grabbed Lengyue's wrist.

Lengyue tried to break free, but the young man was incredibly strong. He lifted her up in a princess carry.

In that moment, Lengyue was stunned.

She was thrown onto the soft bed, and before she could get up, the young man pressed down on her, removing her black mask and passionately kissing her.

The intense masculine aura enveloped her, making her feel like she was being greedily consumed, and she couldn't help but surrender to it...

Six years later.

In an inconspicuous courtyard overgrown with weeds.

As Lengyue approached the door, she heard the voice of a little boy from inside: "Aunt Ningqiu lost again, Xiaohan, help her apply the ointment."

Immediately after, a sweet and childish voice of a little girl followed: "Okay, big brother."

Lengyue pushed open the door and opened her arms, saying, "Xiaoting, Xiaohan, Mommy's back."

The little girl immediately ran into Lengyue's embrace, rubbing against her affectionately.

"Mama, you're finally back. Big brother was so worried."

Lengyue reached out and rubbed Xiaoting's head, then rubbed Xiaohan's head, with a loving smile on her face.

Ding Ningqiu, whose face was covered in sticky notes, walked over and pouted, saying, "Lengyue, your two little geniuses beat me all afternoon. My makeup is ruined."

Lengyue stood up straight, looking at Ding Ningqiu with pride, and said, "Aiqiu, are you leaving?"

Ding Ningqiu nodded and started peeling off the sticky notes on her face, saying, "I've had enough of this rundown house. It's old and dilapidated. I don't want to stay here for another second!"

"Are you not coming back tonight?" Lengyue asked again.

"Why come back? Sleep in this musty old house? I'd rather be held by a wealthy tycoon in a five-star hotel!" Ding Ningqiu complained while taking out her personal makeup kit to touch up her makeup. "The organization is really something. We just made one mistake six years ago, and they punish us with dirty and tiring tasks!"

"Alright, go then," Lengyue interrupted her coldly.

Ding Ningqiu didn't say anything more. As soon as she left the house, she swayed her waist and hips.

Lengyue took out two boxes of double-skinned milk from her bag, one in each hand, and handed them to the two little buns in front of her. "These are double-skinned milk that Mommy bought for you. Open them and have a taste."

Xiaoting pushed her glasses up and said indifferently, "Geniuses don't eat such vulgar things. I'm going to read."

Lengyue gave her a disdainful look. Xiaoting's self-centered and arrogant attitude made her both angry and amused.

Xiaohan smiled and reached out to take the two boxes of double-skinned milk, his eyes sparkling. "Mommy, I'm not a genius, so give them all to me."

Lengyue chuckled and rubbed Xiaohan's head. "Alright, since your big brother doesn't want to eat, you can have them all."

"Thank you, Mommy."

In the taxi, Ding Ningqiu took out a string of necklaces from her bag.

It was a very special necklace, adorned with diamonds and gemstones, unlike any other luxury items. This necklace was made from a button.

Although it was just a button, it was exquisitely crafted, shining brightly, and emitting a translucent light like a gem.

She put it around her neck and admired it in a small mirror, thinking to herself, "This necklace is indeed beautiful. No wonder Aiyue always keeps an eye on it. Today, I'll secretly use it. It's a way to make the most of it."

After getting out of the car, she arrived at an art gallery.

The gallery was filled with artworks by various artists, but Ding Ningqiu had no interest in appreciating them. She came here to seduce wealthy people and free herself from her misery.

Suddenly, the quiet gallery was filled with hurried footsteps, and dozens of black-clad bodyguards quickly entered and formed two rows.

Ding Ningqiu sensed the grandeur of the situation and knew that someone important was coming.

A young man walked in under the protection of the bodyguards. He was dressed in a custom-made high-end suit that accentuated his tall figure. His gaze was cold and determined, with a hint of rebellion.

Ding Ningqiu was stunned. She couldn't believe that she would one day witness the true face of Huo Jingran!

Who was Huo Jingran? He was the well-known prince of the empire, possessing both wealth and status. His extraordinary beauty drove all the girls in the city crazy, and he was a person whom no one dared to provoke in Jiangling.

Ding Ningqiu's heart raced with excitement. If she could gain Huo Jingran's favor, who in Jiangling would dare to offend her?

Why bother being a servant and carrying out meaningless tasks when she could become the princess of Jiangling?

The chandeliers in the gallery were bright, and the necklace on Ding Ningqiu's neck reflected a seductive light.

Huo Jingran noticed the light and, upon closer inspection, furrowed his brows slightly.

He walked over quickly, reaching out to grab the necklace on Ding Ningqiu's neck.

It was a button from his suit, designed by a top designer, and only he in Jiangling had the privilege of wearing it.

"Where did this button come from?" Huo Jingran's voice was icy, with a hint of trembling.

Ding Ningqiu's brain went blank when she saw her idol approaching her. After Huo Jingran asked the question, she snapped back to reality and hurriedly replied, "It's from a man's clothes that I pulled off six years ago."

This answer made Huo Jingran's body tremble slightly, and his gaze locked onto Ding Ningqiu's face.

"Huo Young Master, what's wrong with you?" Ding Ningqiu asked softly.

Huo Jingran grabbed Ding Ningqiu's wrist tightly. "Woman, I've been looking for you for six years!"

Ding Ningqiu was stunned.

Could it be that the owner of this button happened to be Huo Jingran? She had just casually mentioned it!

"No, no, no, Huo..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Huo Jingran ordered his subordinates, "Notify Butler Li to gather everyone in the mansion and welcome the lady!"

Once again, Ding Ningqiu was stunned. Lady?

She seemed to understand.

The Rolls-Royce stopped in front of a large villa, and several rows of men and women in uniforms stood on the empty space in front of the door.

As soon as she got out of the car, everyone bowed, "Young Master, Lady."

For Ding Ningqiu, this moment felt like a dream. She reached out and touched the necklace around her neck, as if she understood something.

Soaking in the massage bathtub, enveloped in warmth and comfort, Ding Ningqiu excitedly splashed water.

At that moment, her phone, which was placed aside, rang. She picked it up and saw that it was a call from Leng Yue.

After hesitating for two seconds, she answered.

"Aiqiu, have you seen my necklace?"

"No." Ding Ningqiu answered without hesitation, "Your necklace is so precious, I dare not touch it."

"Alright, I'll keep looking."

Ding Ningqiu nodded, furrowed her brows slightly, then relaxed and raised her voice, "Aiyue, tell Lao Zhang that I'm not doing that damn mission anymore, I'm quitting my job. From today onwards, I have no relationship with the organization. Don't come looking for me, don't disturb me. I just want to live a peaceful and stable life!"

Before Leng Yue could speak, Ding Ningqiu hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and threw the phone into the bathtub. A smile slowly appeared on her face.

After taking a bath and putting on the silk pajamas presented by the maid, Ding Ningqiu leaped onto the soft bed.

This bed was much better than the hard board bed she had slept on in the shabby room before.

The thought of living in a mansion from now on, with people serving her every need, becoming a wealthy lady, and being able to possess someone as attractive as Huo Jingran, filled Ding Ningqiu with joy.

After a while, the maid brought a fruit platter, and later, a table full of delicacies. Ding Ningqiu ate until her stomach was bloated.

Just after finishing the meal, Butler Li led her upstairs. Here, rows of branded clothes were neatly arranged, covering all four seasons with various fashionable styles.

Shoes filled six shelves, and the wall was adorned with a variety of designer bags, overwhelming her.

As for lipsticks and cosmetics, they filled another room. After coming out, Ding Ningqiu's legs felt weak.

The next day, Ding Ningqiu, dressed in branded clothes, accompanied by bodyguards, left the house and arrived at the busiest commercial building in Jiangling.

The black card gifted by Huo Jingran allowed her to go on a crazy shopping spree, with the bodyguards carrying bags of various sizes.

Sitting in the limited edition Rolls-Royce, Ding Ningqiu wore sunglasses and leaned against the car window, looking outside.

Suddenly, she saw that western restaurant.

Accompanied by six black-clad bodyguards, Ding Ningqiu attracted everyone's attention as soon as she entered the restaurant.

She enjoyed the feeling of being noticed.

The manager of the western restaurant immediately greeted her with a smile when he saw the entourage. "Miss, please come inside."

Ding Ningqiu remained silent and walked to a table by the window, tapping her finger on the table.

A couple who were dining couldn't help but look at Ding Ningqiu with confusion.

The manager understood Ding Ningqiu's intention and quickly said to the couple, "Sorry, could you please change seats? I'll cover your bill."

Although the couple were reluctant, they had no choice but to get up and leave, as there were six black-clad bodyguards standing next to Ding Ningqiu.

Only then did Ding Ningqiu sit down contentedly.

The manager turned around and waved his hand. "Someone, come and clean up!"

Leng Yue hurried over, about to bend down and clean up, but Ding Ningqiu took off her sunglasses.

"Aiqiu?"

The manager beside her also widened his eyes. "It's you?"

"Yes, it's me, Manager Xiao." Ding Ningqiu crossed her legs, showing off her new shiny boots.

"If I remember correctly, you punished me by making me wash two thousand dishes and scolded me, right?"

"I..." The manager stammered.

"If you kneel down and slap yourself twice, I'll consider it as if nothing happened." Ding Ningqiu said coldly.

"Aiqiu?" Leng Yue widened her eyes.

"Xiaoding, I..."

"Kneel!" Ding Ningqiu suddenly shouted.

Under the threat, the manager had no choice but to kneel down and slap himself twice.

"Very well, you can leave now."

After the manager left, Ding Ningqiu looked at Leng Yue and said calmly, "Have a seat."

Leng Yue sat down, her eyes filled with confusion.

She couldn't believe that her good sister, who had fought side by side with her for eight years, had become so cold and ruthless.

"Aiqiu, Lao Zhang agreed, but he wants you to keep quiet about certain things. But I want to know, why did you suddenly decide to leave? I called you yesterday, but couldn't reach you." Leng Yue asked.

"I threw away my phone." Ding Ningqiu looked out the window, occasionally glancing at Leng Yue. "To tell you the truth, I wanted to leave a long time ago. In fact, I am a wealthy lady. I got married a long time ago. I'm sorry, Aiyue, I kept it from you."

"What are you saying?" Leng Yue was dumbfounded.

"Now that you've seen it, I don't want to pretend anymore." Ding Ningqiu said coldly, "I should return to my own life. Today, I came to say goodbye to you."

As she spoke, she waved her hand, and the bodyguards placed the bags on the table.

"These are gifts for you, consider it a farewell gift between sisters. From now on, you and I will go our separate ways, never to meet again."

After saying that, Ding Ningqiu put on her sunglasses, and with the black-clad bodyguards, left the western restaurant.

Back at the villa, Ding Ningqiu carefully examined the necklace in her hand and looked at the button on Huo Jingran's suit. She thought of Xiaoting and Xiaohan.

Suddenly, she understood something.

Six years ago, she and Leng Yue participated in Operation X together, going to the Jiangling Hotel to capture the target.

However, Ding Ningqiu unexpectedly encountered a wealthy and charming young man, and forgot about the mission. When she remembered, it was already the next morning.

The organization was furious about this and demoted her to the lowest rank, giving her a severe reprimand.

Leng Yue was also demoted for her negligence, but Ding Ningqiu remembered that Leng Yue discovered she was pregnant two months after Operation X, but she refused to reveal the identity of the child's father.

Jiangling Hotel was also a property of the Huo Group, and the button on Leng Yue's cherished necklace was identical to the button on Huo Jingran's suit. Could it be that Leng Yue had a night of passion with Huo Jingran that night?

Lost in her thoughts, Ding Ningqiu realized that the real Mrs. Huo was not herself, but her good friend, Leng Yue!

Looking at the rows of brand-name clothes and bags in front of her, Ding Ningqiu glanced at the necklace in her hand and thought to herself: From now on, I am Mrs. Huo, and no one can stop me!

After lying on the bed and resting for a while with her eyes closed, Ding Ningqiu suddenly opened her eyes. There was a little devil in her mind constantly shouting: Ding Ningqiu, what are you hesitating about? Only when Leng Yue and those two children are dead can the secret of you being the fake Mrs. Huo remain unknown. If Leng Yue and those two children live for another day, you will be exposed!

Ding Ningqiu's gaze froze, and her eyes suddenly turned cold.

The headquarters of the Huo Group was suddenly attacked by hackers in the morning. The computers in the entire building were invaded, and the screen displayed: Huo Jingran, the big villain, the big demon!

The hackers' techniques were so sophisticated that they gave headaches to the network experts in the security department. Fortunately, Huo Jingran stepped in and cleared the virus within a few minutes.

An hour later, the secretary knocked on the door and entered. Looking at Huo Jingran's gloomy face, she whispered, "Mr. Huo, we have traced the hacker's IP address and the person has been caught."

"Beat him half to death before bringing him to me," Huo Jingran said coldly.

The secretary frowned, "Mr. Huo, isn't that a bit too much?"

Huo Jingran gave the secretary a death stare and his tone became even colder, "Are you defying me?"

The secretary quickly shook her head and explained, "Mr. Huo, how could I dare to defy your orders? It's just that if we beat a five-year-old child half to death, it will have a very negative impact on our group if this matter gets out."

"What did you say? A five-year-old child?" Huo Jingran, who had always been calm, was also stunned by the secretary's words.

The secretary nodded and said, "Yes, it is indeed a five-year-old child. Quite cute, wearing a pair of glasses, short hair, looks a lot like Conan."

Huo Jingran furrowed his brows. He knew the secretary wouldn't dare to deceive him, but the fact that a five-year-old child could break through the company's network defenses, leaving the network security experts helpless, was truly unbelievable.

"Bring him in," Huo Jingran said, his tone slowing down.

Shortly after, the little boy mentioned by the secretary stood in front of Huo Jingran. At first glance, Huo Jingran almost jumped out of his chair.

Isn't this himself when he was a child?

That small and straight nose, slightly chubby face, big eyes, even the cold gaze resembled him!

One second later, Huo Jingran suppressed the thoughts surging in his heart and looked at the little boy, asking, "What's your name?"

The little boy remained silent, stubbornly looking to the side.

This was the first time someone had heard him speak, but he ignored it. Huo Jingran was momentarily stunned.

He took another look at the little boy and became even more interested.

The secretary on the side felt that something was not quite right with the atmosphere, so she smiled and squatted down, saying to the little boy, "Little friend, our boss is asking for your name. You should answer, it's impolite not to."

"Geniuses don't bother with villains," the little boy said coldly.

Instead of getting angry at such audacious words, Huo Jingran couldn't help but feel like laughing.

To call oneself a genius at such a young age, his audacity knew no bounds.

Hearing the little boy insult the big boss as a villain right in front of Huo Jingran, the female secretary was scared and broke out in a cold sweat. However, when she saw that Huo Jingran didn't show any anger, but rather looked at the little boy with interest, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Since you claim to be a genius, let's have a competition. If you win, I'll admit that you're a genius. How about that?" Huo Jingran looked at Xiaoting.

Xiaoting's eyes showed no signs of fear. He pushed his glasses up his nose with his small hand and said with a sharp gaze, "Just don't cry if you lose."

It had been a long time since Huo Jingran had seen someone so arrogant, especially from a five-year-old child. He was genuinely interested.

This child was even more arrogant and self-assured than he was when he was a child.

There were several computers in the spacious office. The female secretary led Xiaoting to one of them.

"Kid, listen carefully. The rules are simple. I'll be in charge of defense. If you can break through the Huo Group's central database and obtain the administrator's password, then you win," Huo Jingran said, staring at Xiaoting.

Xiaoting didn't reply. He turned his head and spoke in a milky voice to the female secretary beside him, "Pretty sister, can you please get me a glass of warm water?"

The female secretary thought Xiaoting was thirsty, so after getting Huo Jingran's permission, she quickly brought a glass of water.

However, to her surprise, Xiaoting had no intention of drinking it. Instead, he placed it on the table.

Curious, the female secretary followed up with a question, "What is the water for then?"

"Warm water gets the password," Xiaoting explained confidently.

This statement almost made Huo Jingran burst out laughing. Just as Guan Yu used warm wine to execute Hua Teng, now Xiaoting was using warm water to get the password. This couldn't be described as anything other than audacious.

The female secretary couldn't help but suppress her laughter, but with the big boss present, she didn't dare to laugh out loud. She quickly covered her mouth and forced herself to hold back her amusement.

"Let's begin," Xiaoting said, and his not-so-long fingers danced on the keyboard. His sharp gaze remained fixed on the computer screen from start to finish.

However, after only two minutes, Xiaoting's confidence and composure on his face were replaced by seriousness and astonishment. Five minutes later, the computer screen in front of him suddenly went black, and five red words appeared: "You lost, kid."

The computer in front of Xiaoting was completely under Huo Jingran's control. The keyboard and mouse were unresponsive. In this game, he had lost.

"Although you won, it only proves that you are also a genius, but it doesn't prove that I'm not a genius," Xiaoting looked up at Huo Jingran, his gaze unwavering.

In Huo Jingran's eyes, a child who could break through the Huo Group's firewall and network defenses in such a short time was indeed a genius.

But he didn't say what he thought in his heart because Xiaoting's audacity was even thicker than he had imagined. There was no need for him to call himself a genius anymore.

"Now that you admit you lost, there should be some reward, right, kid?" Huo Jingran placed his hands flat on the table and looked at Xiaoting.

"Since you won against me, I'll call you Big Brother from now on, and you'll have a genius little brother for free. You've made a profit," Xiaoting said confidently.

Huo Jingran looked at Xiaoting. He really wanted to know how Xiaoting could say such a narcissistic statement with a serious face. This could be said to be the most narcissistic child he had ever seen.

"Alright, I accept you as my little brother. Now, call me 'big brother' and let me hear it," Huo Jingran unexpectedly revealed his childlike side as he looked at Xiao Ting. It seemed that he was becoming more and more interested in him.

"I'm willing to bet and accept defeat, big brother."

In the office, a five-year-old child calling a thirty-year-old man "big brother" was a comical sight.

The female secretary struggled to hold back her laughter. She never expected that the big boss would have such a lack of restraint, coaxing a five-year-old boy to call him "big brother."

The sound of "big brother" with a hint of cuteness made Huo Jingran find it surprisingly pleasant to the ears. He even had the desire to hear it again.

Therefore, the female secretary witnessed another scene where her boss lost his restraint.

Since they were now brothers, Huo Jingran had the secretary pour tea and the two of them began chatting in the office despite the twenty-five-year age gap between them.

Huo Jingran was surprised to find that the adorable little boy in front of him was extremely tight-lipped. He tried various ways to pry open his mouth, but even after a long time of probing, he couldn't get him to reveal who his mother was.

However, he did manage to find out the reason why the little boy, Xiao Ting, infiltrated the Huo Group. It turned out that it was for his classmate, a girl named Xiao Yun.

Xiao Yun's mother ran a fried chicken shop located in the old city area, with the first floor being the shop and the second floor serving as their residence.

A year ago, the district government decided to renovate the old city area and put most of the land up for bidding. The Huo Group, with its strong financial resources, won the bid.

After winning the bid, the Huo Group planned to develop half of the old city area into a high-end residential area and the other half into entertainment venues and a top-notch commercial district.

However, the local residents were not happy because the resettlement housing was set twenty kilometers away in the eastern district. They believed that this was an act of uprooting them from their hometown and were unwilling to relocate.

In order to drive out the residents of the old city area, some high-level executives of the Huo Group tried all sorts of methods, both overt and covert. They even hired a group of thugs from society. When Xiao Ting's father organized the villagers to protest, he was beaten by those thugs and ended up in the hospital.

In summary, Xiao Ting's motive for infiltrating the Huo Group was partly due to his integrity and kindness, and partly to protect his little friend.

Huo Jingran noticed that every time Xiao Ting mentioned Xiao Yun's name, his eyes would quickly dodge, as if he was afraid of revealing his true intentions.

Huo Jingran greatly admired this. At such a young age, not only could he hack into computers, but he also had the determination to fight for his loved ones. He truly was a genius by nature.

Huo Jingran immediately instructed the secretary to temporarily suspend the development project in the old city area and discuss it later.

Xiao Ting didn't expect Huo Jingran to easily put the project on hold. His attitude towards Huo Jingran suddenly became a bit closer.

However, when asked about his parents, Xiao Ting remained tight-lipped. Perhaps Huo Jingran's questioning was too intense. Xiao Ting simply bid farewell to Huo Jingran and left. After taking a few steps, he turned around and looked at Huo Jingran. He pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose and his gaze was cold and sharp. "I will definitely defeat you in the future."

Watching Xiao Ting's departing figure, a slight smile appeared on Huo Jingran's lips. His gaze shifted downwards and landed on the teacup that Xiao Ting had just used.

He called the female secretary over and coldly ordered, "Immediately extract the DNA from this cup."

"Get out! You're useless! You can't even make a cup of coffee!"

From the second floor bedroom, there was a sound of crashing. A maid in uniform hurriedly fled from the room, sobbing softly as she went downstairs.

Seeing this, the housekeeper Li hurriedly went upstairs.

The bedroom door was open, and Ding Ningqiu was lying on the couch. When she saw Li, she sat up.

Seeing the broken coffee cup on the floor, Li quickly said, "Madam, please wait, I will have someone clean it up."

"Wait a moment." Ding Ningqiu leisurely spoke up, "The servants in this house are all clumsy and useless, as if they've never done any work before. Li, you should be the one to clean it up."

Li looked at Ding Ningqiu with surprise, his expression slightly solemn.

"What's wrong? As the wife of Mr. Huo, don't I have the authority to ask you to clean up the broken cup on the floor?" Ding Ningqiu had a faint smile on her face, but her smile carried a strong sense of ruthlessness and dominance.

Li paused for a second and then spoke with resignation, "Since it's the madam's order, I will do as you say."

Seeing Li bend down to pick up all the fragments, Ding Ningqiu focused her attention and revealed a satisfied smile on her face.

During lunch, Ding Ningqiu specifically stopped a maid and inquired about the hierarchy in this mansion. She learned that besides Huo Jingran, the most authoritative person in this mansion was naturally Li, the housekeeper.

From the maid's words, Ding Ningqiu learned that Li held a superior position in this mansion, second only to Huo Jingran. He was in charge of the daily operations of the entire mansion, big or small, and handled all matters, big or small.

This made Ding Ningqiu feel somewhat displeased. If she compared Huo Jingran to an emperor, then Li would be the chief eunuch in the harem. In the past, when there were no concubines or empresses in the harem, Li could do as he pleased without any problems. But now that she had become the empress in the Eastern Palace, Li could only rank third, regardless of his previous status.

Originally, Ding Ningqiu had just scolded a maid, but when she saw Li come in, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration. She felt that she needed to take this opportunity to assert her dominance, to show off her power in the entire mansion, and let everyone know that when Huo Jingran was not around, she was the queen.

Seeing Li bend down to pick up all the fragments, Ding Ningqiu focused her attention and revealed a satisfied smile on her face.

"Li, I heard that you have been serving by my husband's side for many years. Let me ask you, how many women does my husband have by his side?" Ding Ningqiu asked.

Ding Ningqiu didn't care how many women were by Huo Jingran's side. Whether it was ten or a hundred, as long as it didn't interfere with her enjoyment of the materialistic life, it was fine.

When you spend too much time with the same person, no matter how infatuated you were in the beginning, you would eventually find it boring. This was true even when facing Huo Jingran all day long.

But money was different. No matter how long you spent with it, you would never get tired of it.

"Madam, for all these years, there hasn't been a single woman by the young master's side, except for the one encounter six years ago at the Jiangling Hotel. Since then, the young master has been yearning for you day and night. Now, he has finally found you in this vast sea of people," Li said.

To Ding Ningqiu's surprise, she never expected that someone like Huo Jingran, who had both looks and power, the perfect male god who had captivated countless girls, had never had a woman by his side.

If it weren't for seeing the two little buns that Cold Moon had given birth to, Ding Ningqiu would have doubted if there was something wrong with Huo Jingran, perhaps a physiological problem.

"Butler Li, you're not lying to me, right?" Ding Ningqiu scrutinized Butler Li with a skeptical look.

"How could I dare to deceive Madam?" Butler Li respectfully replied, "I have been serving by Young Master's side for many years, and there has never been a woman around him. It's just that six years ago, he had a night of passion with you, Madam."

Ding Ningqiu naturally had no idea what had happened between Cold Moon and Huo Jingran that night six years ago. She only knew that they had undressed and had a passionate encounter, resulting in Cold Moon giving birth to two children. What Ding Ningqiu wanted to know were the details of that night, so as to avoid any slip-ups if Huo Jingran suddenly asked about it.

"Butler Li, do you know what happened that night six years ago?" Ding Ningqiu cautiously inquired, "I'm asking about the cause and effect, I already know the details in between."

Butler Li pondered briefly and then explained, "Six years ago, after the old master passed away, Young Master took over the Huo Group. Not long after, there was a wine tasting event. Young Master went to preside over it, but someone spiked his drink with a powerful aphrodisiac. As a result, Young Master had an encounter with you, who was working as a waitress at the time."

Butler Li didn't mention the explicit details, wanting to save face for Ding Ningqiu. However, he failed to notice any discomfort on Ding Ningqiu's face.

"After Young Master woke up, you were gone. He immediately mobilized everyone to search for you, but unfortunately, the hotel's surveillance was hacked, so there was no trace of your whereabouts." Butler Li continued.

Ding Ningqiu suddenly realized why Huo Jingran hadn't recognized her as the woman he had spent the night with six years ago. It was likely due to the potent aphrodisiac that had clouded his judgment. Furthermore, with the missing surveillance footage, Huo Jingran had no way of knowing who he had shared that passionate night with.

Considering that six years had passed and it was difficult to remember a woman with only a fleeting memory, Ding Ningqiu understood that Huo Jingran could only confirm her identity by checking the buttons on his shirt.

Ding Ningqiu briefly recalled in her mind. Six years ago, their actions had failed, and they had both been demoted due to violating organizational discipline. Then, for the purpose of protection, the organization had hidden her and Cold Moon away. They had coincidentally missed the time when Huo Jingran sent people to search for them. In this way, Ding Ningqiu realized that her current success was entirely due to the right timing, favorable conditions, and the right people.

Although she felt ecstatic inside, Ding Ningqiu didn't show any joy on her face. Instead, she wore a sorrowful expression and said softly, "In fact, that night I was very fond of Young Master Huo. But when he took advantage of me, I felt humiliated and ran away. Later, I regretted it so much. If I hadn't escaped, Young Master Huo and I wouldn't have missed each other for six long years."

Seeing Ding Ningqiu feeling sad, Butler Li couldn't help but console her, "Madam, there's no need to be sorrowful. Now, fate has brought you and Young Master together again. Perhaps it's destiny at work."

Butler Li's words awakened Ding Ningqiu, making her feel uneasy once again.

The fact that she could be mistaken by Huo Jingran as the woman he had spent the night with six years ago was even more unlikely than winning the lottery. Yet, it had actually happened. Ding Ningqiu couldn't help but worry if one day in the future, Huo Jingran would accidentally encounter Cold Moon.

Would he recognize Cold Moon as the woman he had shared that passionate night with at the moment their gazes met?

The more Ding Ningqiu thought about it, the more fearful she became. If she wanted to be worry-free as Huo's wife, she had to get rid of Cold Moon and those two little buns.

Although she had watched Xiaoting and Xiaohan grow up and they often called her "Aunt Ningqiu," Ding Ningqiu knew what she should do when it came to matters of right and wrong. She shouldn't be bound by emotions.

"Butler Li, what happened afterwards? Did you find out who drugged Young Master Huo?" Ding Ningqiu asked.

Butler Li shook his head slowly, sighed, and said, "Those people came prepared. They hacked into the hotel's surveillance system, so we still haven't found out who did it."

Ding Ningqiu's eyes lit up, and a dirty and sinister plan began to take shape in her mind.

"I think I know who it is," Ding Ningqiu said.

Upon receiving a call from Butler Li, Huo Jingran immediately had the driver take him back to the villa.

Ding Ningqiu changed into a beautiful black backless short skirt, revealing her enchanting long legs and smooth, white back. Under the illumination of the chandelier, she looked fair and exquisite.

When Huo Jingran returned, he walked briskly towards Ding Ningqiu, his gaze fixed on her. "You said you know who drugged me six years ago?"

Ding Ningqiu nodded and calmly picked up a bottle of red wine, pouring it into two tall glasses on the table.

But Huo Jingran, who was impatient, had no patience to appreciate Ding Ningqiu's beauty or her slow pouring. He grabbed her wrist and said in a deep voice, "Tell me quickly, who dared to drug me?"

"Honey, you're hurting me," Ding Ningqiu frowned slightly.

Realizing that he had been too impulsive, Huo Jingran quickly let go of her hand, but his tone remained low. "Tell me quickly, who dared to drug me?"

"Honey, if I tell you who drugged you, what will you do to that person?" Ding Ningqiu asked tentatively.

"I will make sure they never breathe another breath of air." Huo Jingran's face turned dark, his expression clearly showing his anger.

Ding Ningqiu was satisfied with Huo Jingran's response. This was exactly what she wanted.

She took a step forward and proactively held Huo Jingran, pressing her 36E breasts against his arm, her voice becoming more coquettish. "Honey, calm down first. How can you be in good health if you get too angry? Although I don't know why that person sneaked into your room and drugged you, I believe they must have had ulterior motives. No matter what, we can't let her go easily. She must pay the most painful price!"

"Now that you know who drugged me, stop playing games and tell me." Huo Jingran said coldly.

"Alright, alright, I'll tell you." Ding Ningqiu withdrew her hand and took out a blurry photo of Cold Moon from her bag, handing it to Huo Jingran. "Here, it's this woman."
