This was only the beginning; if Yan Luoxi had already started acting like this, would he...Chapter 5: Isolated Like Fireworks, Mister Li's Obsession Captive Little Wife, Five Degrees Romance

He Yufan accompanied Fang Jianghai out for an afternoon. Just as before, he said some incomprehensible things to her and presented countless seductive moves aimed at women.

The meaning behind his actions didn't need much probing; He Yufan understood it well enough, but since her heart belonged elsewhere, she treated Fang Jianghai merely as a litmus test.

In the evening, in a romantic gesture, Fang Jianghai invited He Yufan for an candlelit dinner by the seaside and even emulated young lovers by putting on an extravagant fireworks display.

The sky was intermittently brightened and darkened by the fireworks, splendid yet coldly lonely. Amidst this lavish and romantic atmosphere, all He Yufan could think about was Zhou Guangtao, a pang of sorrow in her heart.

Isolated like fireworks—perhaps that's what it means.

During dinner, she returned the expensive jewelry set that Fang Jianghai had given to her.

Fang Jianghai immediately understood He Yufan’s intentions. Shaking his head and refusing to take back the gift, he said, "Once I give something, how can I take it back If you don't want it, just throw it into the sea!"

"Are you sure" Raising an eyebrow coldly, He Yufan picked up the jewelry box and pretended to toss it into the sea.

Fang Jianghai was a businessman. Although he was generous with his spending, he wouldn't do something as foolish as throwing diamond necklaces into the sea—He Yufan didn’t want them, but countless others would be delighted to have them!

Smiling cheekily and gently pressing down He Yufan's hand, he said, "Miss He, I am sincerely devoted to you!"

"I know. Thank you for your kindness," said He Yufan with a charming smile directed at Fang Jianghai under the candlelight, ensnaring his soul.

The more something is out of reach, the more desirable it becomes. Especially for a woman like HeyuFan who isn't swayed by material wealth, she becomes even more intriguing to Fang JiangHai.

The next afternoon, Fang JiangHai invited HeyuFan to go out on his boat after work.

When evening came and it was time to leave the office, HeyuFan stood at her window, hesitating about whether to accept Fang JiangHai’s invitation. Through the glass, she saw Yan Luoxi smiling as she ran cheerfully towards a small square in front of their company.

HeyuFan curiously watched with her eyes, wondering where Yan Luoxi was going!

A black car was parked there, and Yan Luoxi opened the passenger door. Before she could get in, a bunch of red roses appeared from inside the car; each bud seemed about to burst into bloom, undoubtedly fragrant.

Yan Luoxi took the flowers with great surprise, then got into the car.

HeyuFan knew that the car belonged to Zhou GuangTao.

Suddenly feeling despondent, she decided to go along with Fang JiangHai’s invitation to take her out at sea as a way of throwing caution to the wind.

In despair, HeyuFan really wanted to lean on Fang JiangHai for support. Actually, love wasn't that important, especially one-sided affection; it was simply the most terrifying torment.

Getting close to such a wealthy man like Fang JiangHai could ensure her living comfortably all her life without worrying about money or working hard. What’s not to like

In this moment, HeyuFan was filled with a kind of bleak optimism as she climbed into Fang JiangHai's luxury car with the sense of martyrdom.

Fang JiangHai didn't expect HeyuFan to accept his invitation. Upon seeing her get in the car, he was delighted and immediately reached out to wrap his arm around her slender waist.

He Yufan endured the nausea and did not avoid it; she wanted to try to see if she could accept Fang Jianghai.

When Fang Jianghai saw that He Yufan did not refuse, he became even happier. His fat hands roamed all over her slender waist.

He Yufan disliked the look in Fang Jianghai's eyes at this moment; it seemed as if he wanted to see through to her bones, making her involuntarily think of one word: lecherous.

Fang Jianghai's meaty large hands were slightly moist and slowly moved upwards, like insects crawling on her body, causing He Yufan's entire body hair to stand up straight.

With just a little more movement, Fang Jianghai's hand would touch the soft and full part of her. He Yufan hurriedly stopped his hand with a stiff smile: "Mr. Fang, you need to respect women!"

Fang Jianghai was now filled with desire; his face was flushed red as he panted softly.

He Yufan dared not offend Fang Jianghai too much and pulled down his hand while smiling and patting it. She blinked her eyes, revealing a melancholy expression: "Mr. Fang, I worked all day and am hungry; shall we go eat first"

Fang Jianghai truly wanted to get He Yufan and did not want to force her directly. Suppressing the lewdness on his face, he held her hand and said, "Okay, now I'll take my little treasure to eat."

At this moment, He Yufan really regretted it but couldn't say that she wouldn’t go for a meal either. She hadn't agreed to sit in Fang Jianghai's private yacht to cross the sea; there were all his people on the private yacht. If he wanted to do something to her, it would be effortless. What could she do Could she jump into the sea

He Yufan requested to take a ferry across the sea with Fang Jianghai, eat seafood at the island's seafood city, and then come back.

Fang Jianghai thought about it for a moment, laughed heartily, and agreed readily.

The seafood city on the island was large in scale; the grand building was brightly lit, bustling with people and filled with customers.

Fang Jianghai brought He Yufan into the Seafood City, and the floor manager welcomed them, informing that their private room was prepared and they could order dishes at any time.

Satisfied with this arrangement, Fang Jianghai wanted to lead He Yufan upstairs by holding her hand. Unintentionally evading his bulky palm, she pretended to be curious about the aquatic animals in the aquarium on the first floor, meticulously observing the layout of the place.

No matter how much He Yufan tried to avoid it, she eventually entered the private room where a chill made her shiver involuntarily.

Fang Jianghai reserved their private room in a quiet corner; the interior was luxuriously decorated with extremely soft carpeting that muffled any sound from footsteps. Soft music permeated every corner.

In the private room, only He Yufan and Fang Jianghai were present. The waiter politely asked them what else they needed while lowering his voice.

Fang Jianghai said to fetch the wine he stored here; the dishes had been pre-ordered earlier so there was no need for a wait as they were served one by one.

He Yufan realized she had stirred up a hornet's nest and now found herself alone against Fang Jianghai, having to stay vigilant.

This time, Fang Jianghai didn't say anything inappropriate nor did he make any lewd moves. He seemed more interested in the sea cucumber and abalone on the table, praising them while eating: "Miss He, these ingredients are so fresh! They're better than those at our place. Eat, eat..."

He Yufan breathed a slight sigh of relief, sipped some red wine, then started to eat.

Fang Jianghai continued to talk casually about the customs and scenery back home while eating and drinking, occasionally inviting He Yufan to drink with him.

Accompanying Fang Jianghai in his consumption, after finishing a glass of wine, she became alert as something seemed off; her head felt dizzy, vision blurred, and limbs weakened. She was usually quite tolerant of alcohol and had once downed an entire bottle by herself without such intense reactions!is expansive and tranquil scenery would leave anyone feeling refreshed and at ease; unfortunately, Li An was not in the mood to appreciate it. Yan Luoxi happily accepted his returned phone but showed...
