This small foreign-style building with some years of history was engulfed in fire, with flames reaching into the sky.

The housekeeper knocked frantically on the door of the evening bedroom, "Miss, there's a fire. Wake up, wake up!"

Xiang Wan was choked until she kept coughing. When she opened the bedroom door, the housekeeper threw a wet towel to her, "Miss, follow me and go downstairs quickly. The fire is too big!"

Xiang Wan had just woken up from the nightmare. He couldn't tell which was a dream and which was reality. His steps were slower and he was almost dragged by the housekeeper.

The housekeeper has been following Xiang Dong since he was very young, and has received great favor from him. He does his best to Xiang Wan and will not let her get hurt even if he risk his life.

The two ran to the first floor amidst the huge smoke and fire. Seeing that they finally managed to escape safely, Xiang Wan suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong, Miss, let's go quickly." The housekeeper coughed violently and choked as soon as he opened his mouth.

"You go first, I have to go back and get something." Xiang Wan pushed her, turned around and rushed upstairs.

The housekeeper had no time to catch her, and saw her back being engulfed in smoke, and she suddenly disappeared.

She stamped her feet anxiously. Having no other choice, she quickly ran out of the building to find someone for help.

The fire truck arrived quickly, but the fire was too great. The main structure of the small western-style building was made of wood. In less than ten minutes, it was almost completely burned out and it was on the verge of collapse.

The firefighters rushed into the building to save people. As soon as they reached the first floor, Xiang Wan rushed out from inside.

She took her last breath and fainted on the ground as soon as she left the building.

The housekeeper quickly ran over, "Miss, are you okay?"

Xiang Wan held tightly in her hands the things she had fought so hard to grab, a photo album and a small box.

Inside the box was a purple taffy stone necklace. Xiang Wan desperately wanted to save it, not because it was priceless, but because it was a gift Xiang Dong gave her on her birthday this year.

That photo album contains all the photos of her and her mother.

However, after being baptized by the fire, the photo album was seriously damaged and the photos inside were incomplete.

Several of the mother's smiling faces were also burned with terrible marks.

Xiang Wan stared at these photos blankly, his expression slowly turning from pain to calmness, with a terrifying sense of peace.

The housekeeper squatted beside her, not knowing how to comfort her: "Miss, talents are the most important thing. I hope you are safe..."

Xiang Wan stared at the black ruins in front of him, so calm that he was almost depressed.

There were footsteps behind her, and he stood next to her.

The butler turned around and exclaimed: "Ji...Young Master Ji."

Xiang Wan also turned around and met Ji Zhoubai's eyes.

Her red eyes were endearing, but Ji Zhoubai didn't show any sympathy in his eyes, he just stretched out his hand towards her and pulled her up.

"I just passed by and saw the fire trucks heading this way, and saw the smoke again. I came over out of curiosity to take a look, but I didn't expect that Xiang's house was really on fire." Ji Zhoubai's tone was calm, and no special emotion could be heard.

After Xiang Wan got up, she stood face to face with Ji Zhoubai. Her clothes were burned with many holes and her face was so dirty that she couldn't even see her appearance. But even so, she didn't mean to show weakness or surrender at all.

"Master Ji, let's chat if you have time." Xiang Wan took the initiative to invite.

Ji Zhoubai stared at her for a few seconds and nodded.

In the club, Ji Zhoubai and Xiang Wan sat face to face.

Ji Zhoubai handed her some tissues and said, "Wipe your face. I have nothing to say to the disheveled homeless man."

Xiang Wan ignored his humiliation, wiped his face carelessly, looked up at him, "Mr. Ji, let's get married."

So direct and straightforward.

Ji Zhoubai didn't expect her to say this, so his eyes narrowed slightly, "Tell me, how do you want to use me?"

Xiang Wan choked and had no intention of hiding it from him, "Grandpa's will stated that I need to get married and start a family in order to inherit the Xiang Group, so I really need a marriage partner now."

Ji Zhoubai leaned back lazily and curled his lower lip, "So?"

Xiang Wan looked him directly in the eyes, "I think you are very suitable."

Ji Zhoubai tapped his fingers on the table and sneered, "Why do you think I want a woman who sleeps with other men and makes a big fuss?"

It turns out that he also knew about this.

Xiang Wan's heart pounded, and he tried his best to stay calm. With a roll in his throat, he threw out his last bargaining chip, "I am the only heir to the Xiang Group. I currently own the largest share of the company. If the two of us join forces, it will definitely be a blow to Naiqi Perfume."

That’s a good thing, don’t you want to hold on to Naiqi Perfume more firmly?”

Hearing this, Ji Zhou gritted his teeth and said nothing.

Xiang Wan continued, "Repaying the hurt doubled is the way I should be. This is what you told me."

She glanced at the broken photo album in her hand, and all the hatred came back to her, "The foreign-style building was on fire, and the people in the big house next to it were indifferent. They really planned to let me die in the fire with this building."

She knew very well that the fire was either an accident or was set against her family.

Ji Zhoubai suddenly leaned forward, raised his hand and pinched Xiang Wan's chin, looking at her with more playfulness in his eyes, "You remember what I said so clearly, you must still remember it - if you want to marry

Give it to me, you have to play with me slowly."

What can you do if you slowly play with a pervert?

Xiang Wan's mind flashed back to what Ji Zhoubai did to Xiang Linlin in that extended Lincoln that day.

She shuddered.

Putting his hand on the photo album again, all the fears turned into desperate courage.

She raised her head, took away Ji Zhoubai's hand, and touched her lips lightly, "Whatever you want to play, I'll play with you."
