On the bedside table in a big room, the phone kept ringing. It annoyed Anne Luo To no end.

She struggled to grab the sheets from under her body as she snapped at theman next to her, "Kevin Fu, you–" Before She could finish her words, the manmade her groan in pleasure.

She didn't even have the strength to glare at him anymore as she gritted her teeth.

It was as if her entire body had softened underneath him like a bag of putty.

The man slowly got off of Anne's body.He smiled lazily before reaching out topick up the phone on the bedside table.

"Honey, I'm coming soon. Are you waiting for me in the living room?" There was a short pause before he nodded. "I'll Take a shower first, okay? Love you."

The man beside her was incredibly tall with a muscled physique. His tight muscles were charming and sexy,especially with the sweat running all over his skin. There was something about his eyes that was soft and kind. They were filled with love and affection,

but Anne Luo knew for a fact that those feelings weren't for her.

His tenderness only belonged to one person.

Hearing his sweet voice, she froze in an instant.

With a cold face, Anne Luo wrapped her self with the blanket that had fallen tothe ground while Kevin Fu strode into the bathroom to take a shower.

The bathroom door was slightly open,and she could hear water pouring onto the tiles.

She stared at the room around her. All of the items were imported from D Country.That meant that every furniture here probably cost a fortune.

This was one of the rooms in the Fu Family's villa, but Anne Luo felt that the room was no different from all the fivestar hotels that she had been to.

"Go downstairs and take a photo for me."While she was too busy staring at her surroundings, Kevin Fu had already walked out of the bathroom after taking a shower.

His voice was indifferent, as if she was just another toy that he could mess with.

He actually despised her so much.Although she was his wife, he held no feelings for her .

The only reason they were together was to fulfill the obligation they had for eachother. All she did was go to bed at this time of every day. It was clearly written on the contract that she must be pregnant with his child by the end of they year.

If she couldn't bear his child, then all her shares of the AN Group would be repossessed and she had no choice but tobe kicked out of A City.

The AN Group was the top company on the Forbes List, soaring so high up that none of the companies could ever compare with it.

Its president, Kevin Fu, was a legend inthe making. When he was just seventeen,he had already doubled the net worth of the AN Group, ranking it up from seventh on the Forbes List to first.

He was declared as the 'Man Women Most Want To Marry' three times in arow. He was also declared as the 'Legendary Man Across the Globe'.

Judging from the tone of his voice, Anne Luo knew that his sweetheart must already be waiting downstairs.

"I'm not a professional photographer,"she said bluntly.

"I told you to do it, so you will." He glared at her. His eyes were as cold as night."Are you really that stupid that you don't even know how to use a phone? Then maybe you shouldn't be Vice President of the An Group."

"You!" Anger boiled in her heart, and she gritted her teeth.

Without even casting her a glance, Kevin Fu strode out of the room. "Don't forget that you have dinner in the Cloud an heaven tonight. If you were late and caused any losses, you will have to makeup for all."

Staring at his receding figure, Anne Luo clenched her fists. For him, nothing was as important as his sweetheart.

Loosening her grip, she headed towards her wardrobe to get her clothes.

In order to get her shares, she needed to endure all of this, but was that really just her goal? Her heart trembled,

and her eyes glistened with sadness.

After a long time, Anne Luo quickly put on a long dress. Except for the small discomfort on her lower limbs, Kevin Fu didn't leave any trace on her body.

He disdained every time he did it.

If there wasn't a contract already, he wouldn't even want to touch her.

Bearing the pain in her hips, she went downstairs.

In the hall, Kevin Fu was taking photos with Cherry Ye, his beloved girlfriend.

Cherry was wearing a snow-white dress.It enveloped her figure perfectly, and it even highlighted her beautiful face.

They were a match made in heaven.

Just then, Kevin Fu saw that Anne Luo Was already on her way down.

The smile on his face faltered. "What Took you so long?" he snapped.

Anne Luo suppressed her anger. In Reality, all she wanted was to hit the manon the face.

Cherry Ye, her cousin, was snuggled upin Kevin Fu's arms. She smiled apologetically at Anne. "It's Kevin who insisted on taking a photo of us together. and posting it on our WeChat Moments.He said that he should post one on my birthday every year," she explained.

Anne didn't even care for the reason as she reached out her hand over to Kevin Fu. "Your phone."

Kevin threw her the phone before smiling dotingly at Cherry.

"If you can't shoot well, then you might as well stay at home and take some lessons for the next few days. Maybe Then, you might actually have a future once you lose your shares," he threatened.

Anger bubbled out in Anne's heart, but she didn't say a word.

Kevin glanced at Anne, annoyed at the fact that she wasn't reacting at his words.

He then placed his hand on Cherry's thigh.

" Oh, stop that, Kevin!" Cherry teased as her cheeks flushed.

She leaned against his chest. However,her gaze was on Anne. Her eyes flashed provocatively, as if daring her to say aword.

Their pose was very intimate.

The soft cloth that hugged aroundCherry's body felt like silk, sticking onto Kevin's suit.

Anne stayed silent. She remained cold and stoic. No matter how much she hated the two people in front of her, she would remain as calm as she could be.

All she wanted was for the couple to disappear from her eyes. But at this moment, she restrained herself and continued to take pictures of them.

kevin held Cherry's legs and waist. In Other photos, he even leaned in to kiss her on the lips.

Smiling shyly, Cherry pouted.

Anne made sure that she didn't miss any of their poses.

Even if Kevin had made all those poses,the expression on Anne's face still didn't change the slightest. "Give me back my phone. If Cherry doesn't look good, then you should retake them."

Without any hesitation, Anne handed the phone back.

Cherry punched him on the arm like as spoiled child. "Do you think I'm ugly?"she demanded.

As if he was faced by a formidable enemy, Kevin immediately peppered a fewer kisses around her face. "Of course not! You're the most beautiful woman inthe world," he immediately complimented. "I'm afraid that she may not be good at capturing your beauty."

Cherry smiled. "Don't you believe in our genes?"

Given that Anne was Cherry's cousin,that meant she was also good looking.Although she wasn't as good looking As Cherry.

Kevin nodded immediately.

Cherry was incredibly beautiful. Her skin was bright and soft. Her inky dark hair fell right to her waist, framing her heart-shaped face and large eyes. There was something about her eyes that was similar to a child's. They held innocence that one could never muster out.

She was tall and curvy. In fact, any man who saw her would compare her to a goddess.

Any photo that featured her would be beautiful, especially since Anne had taken them with all her heart.

Kevin glanced at all the photos that shehad taken. In every single one of them,Cherry's beauty was highlighted and his gracefulness was exemplified. It seemed that he couldn't find any flaws.

With an indescribable anger in his heart,he impatiently put away his phone. "You Can go now."

Anne turned and was about to leave when he called her back.

"Wait a minute." Dissatisfied, he crossed his arms. "Go change your clothes. Your Clothes have the same color as Cherry's.Don't wear the same color as her when you'll be attending the wine party. You'd Better not disrespect her."

his face was as ruthless as the Prince of death. "In fact, toss all the clothes that may be similar in color to Cherry's choice of clothing."

Anger bubbled in Anne's chest. It took her a few seconds to get the words out as she gritted her teeth. "I'll bear you good remarks in my mind."

All she did was wear a white dress! How The hell did she disrespect Cherry? Anne clenched her fists and stalked off.

Seeing Anne so angry, Cherry raised the corners of her lips. Something flashed inher eyes as she lovingly stared at the man besides her.

Anne tore all her white clothes and threw them on the ground.

Cherry had always preferred light coloured fabric specially white.

So from this point on, Anne disdained herself for wearing the same color.

"Kevin, have you already posted them?"Cherry asked, leaning against his chest.

Kevin finally came to his senses as he smiles brightly at the woman beside him."I'll do it now."

He took out his phone and chose a photo that best represented them. In the photo,they were laughing happily. As their arms wrapped around each other, it was obvious that they were the perfect match.However, the more he stared at the photo, the more annoyed he became.Without saying another word, he posted it on his WeChat Moments.

The caption was: Happy Birthday, Baby.I'll love you forever!

As soon as he finished posting, a lot of people commented on the picture.

Mr. He said, "It's a torture to for a single dog to see that."

Mr. Sun said, "Rub it in, why don't you?You kill me, my friend. At least give your single friend a break!"

There were also some flattering comments below like: "Cherry, you're glowing! Happy Birthday! I hope that you'll always be together from this life tothe next."

Although they all knew that Kevin had a wife, they also knew that he only cared for one person.

Kevin never once mentioned about Annein his WeChat moments. In fact, the onlyperson that he had ever showed off was Cherry.

Everyone thought that the man was in love. No one dared say that he washeartless or even accuse him of showing off his other women while he was still married. After all, Kevin was the most powerful man that walked around the city. No one dared to question his moves.

Anne wore a classic red short dress. Her slightly long hair was combed back behind her ears. Although she didn't wore makeup, she still looked better thant hose who did.

She was tall and curvy. While Cherry looked like a goddess, Anne looked like a queen.

Her regal features were further emphasized with the dark red color of her dress.

After the driver opened the door to her side, she walked into the Cloud and Heaven.

The hotel was one of the most luxurious hotels in A City. In fact, people needed tomake an appointment in advance. There Weren't any walk-ins allowed. Those who reserved must be gold members who paid their annual fees of more than a million dollars. To say that it was luxurious was an understatement.

The private room she had booked was located on the third floor. It was where she would invite people from the KIA Group for dinner.

"Secretary Wang just called and said that CEO of the KIA Group had just come back from abroad. He will also be attending the dinner today," Anne's assistant whispered in her ear.

Her eye twitched. The KIA Group was the largest enterprise in C City, and it was also on top of the Forbes List.

The AN Group had invited them to collaborate several times, but they were met with replies that they were still thinking about it.

Now that the CEO would be arriving from abroad to attend the dinner, did that mean the chances of her snagging the deal would be bigger? Or smaller?

Although Anne was worried, her expressions showed no emotion. "Have you confirmed all the dishes and wine that would be served tonight?" she asked politely.

"Yes," the assistant replied in an instant.

All the guests that she had invited were senior executives of the KIA Group. Now that the CEO was also going to make an appearance, Anne couldn't afford any errors.

After walking into the private room,Anne and her assistant checked all the furnishings around the room, trying to see if anything was out of place. Just when she was about to sit down, her assistant answered her phone.

Her assistant quickly turned to Anne."Madam Vice President, Michelle said that the people from the KIA Group have arrived."

"Ask Michelle to guide them here." Anne was passive with the information as she straightened her back.

"Yes, Madam." The assistant said a few words to the person at the other end of the line before hanging up.

During this time, Anne could still feel the soreness around her legs. Her hips felt uncomfortable, preventing her from moving around. Although she felt exhausted, she knew that she couldn't just sit back and relax. The people from the KIA Group would be arriving any time soon. She stared at the doors reproachfully as she subtly fanned her face.

It was not her first time entertaining a big client, but why did she feel so warm?Was it because of the air conditioning?

"Check the room temperature," she ordered her assistant.

"It's 24 degrees."

The Cloud and Heaven had an excellent cooling system. It was actually a few degrees lower than other hotels, but Anne still felt extremely hot.

Maybe it was just some psychological reason.

Just then, the doors in front of her were pushed open. A tall figure came into her view.

There was something about the man that drew her in. His eyes were similar to the sea with its waves splashing against the shoreline. He was dressed in a silver gray suit, and there was a smile playing on the corner of his lips.

Among the seven people in front of her, the man was the most eye-catching. He immediately stood out from the crowd.

When his gaze fell on Anne, his smile widened.

His smile was so dazzling that she couldn't find it in herself to look away.

"We ran into Kevin on the way, so we were a bit late. I didn't expect him to book a private room on the fourth floor to celebrate Cherry's birthday," the person standing next to the man in a grey suit said with a smile. He was none other than Director Zhao from the KIA Group.There was something about how casual he had said it that sent a dull ache in her heart.

Her eyes darkened momentarily. 'So Kevin's celebrating Cherry's birthday?'Anne shook her head from all the thoughts that had entered her mind. This wasn't the time for that.

"Is this the new CEO of KIA?" Anne asked Director Zhao,

smiling politely.

Director Zhao puffed up his chest. "You have a good eye, Madam Vice President. This is Ryan Xiao, our new CEO."

"I've heard a lot about you, Madam Vice-president." Ryan Xiao stepped forward and reached out his hand like the gentleman he was.

Staring into the man's face, Anne already found herself slightly mesmerized. Her assistant next to her nudged her.

Anne finally came to her senses and reached out to shake Ryan Xiao's hands.

Suddenly, he pulled her closer against his chest. He leaned forward and whispered,"Happy Birthday."

Hearing this, Anne froze. She paled at his words.

Her birthday... Someone actually remembered her birthday. Anne rapidly blinked back the tears from her eyes.

While her husband was celebrating another woman's birthday, her birthday was spent with clients.

Her husband didn't even know, or he might not even care at this point.

Director Zhao laughed. "Ryan just came back from France, so he greets us in this way as well."

The emotions in her eyes died a little as Anne straightened her posture. "It's my honor to see Mr. Xiao today. Please, let's all sit."

She took Ryan Xiao to the seat of honor, which was just beside her, before turning to greet the other senior executives of theKIA Group.

Today, it seemed that Director Zhao was trying to get a reaction from Anne. He walked towards his chair and said with a smile, "So, why didn't Kevin come today?

Is he–"
