Luo City, mid-March.

The atmosphere in the black company car was even gloomier and more dreadful than it had always been. Jiang Yuning looked at her former agent who had his hair dyed gray and she secretly turned on the location on her cell phone.

"Your house is now surrounded by journalists and the media. Moreover, the court will be sending people to come and repossess your house soon. Do you still have anywhere that you can go now?"

The agent glanced at Jiang Yuning with a look of arrogance on his face before he continued speaking. "You have already lost your job…CEO Huang of Qiancheng Enterprise has taken a liking to you. You should take advantage of this opportunity given to you and just give yourself to him. After all, this will not be the first time you get on anyone's bed."

One week ago, the media released news that Jiang Yuning was involved in a secret affair with a famous director when his wife was heavily pregnant with his baby. As soon as the director's wife found out about the secret affair, she attempted suicide. The director subsequently used Jiang Yuning as a shield to defend himself and the public did not hesitate to come out and criticize and reprimand Jiang Yuning for her actions. 

However, CEO Huang of Qiancheng Enterprise was not a good person to begin with as he had been involved with many different women and scandals in the past. Therefore, it was clear that her former agent was not helping her but he was clearly pushing her into a pit!

"I have not climbed into anyone's bed before and Emperor Entertainment should know this matter better than anyone else. Furthermore, I have already found a new place to call home."

"A new home? Are you kidding me?"

The agent stared at Jiang Yuning up and down in disbelief. He assumed that she probably did not know that the person who set her up this time was in fact none other than her own fiancé, the third young master of the Lu family.

"I have already decided. Since I am going over to CEO Huang's house to sign a contract with him, I will drop you off at his place at the same time."

Sign a contract? He was probably thinking of selling her off to CEO Huang!

The expression in Jiang Yuning's eyes were filled with hatred for her agent at this time. She had not even settled that score with him yet for allowing her to be framed for the incident and right now, he was so eager to sell her off.

"You are no longer my agent so why should I even listen to you?"

After speaking, Jiang Yuning pressed the power button on her cell phone three consecutive times.

This was her sending out an alert to her savior. After pressing the button, her cell phone would then proceed to send a distress signal to that specific person.

However, Jiang Yuning was not certain that anyone would turn up to save her at all.

When the agent noticed what she was doing with her cell phone, the expression on his face changed immediately. He leaned towards Jiang Yuning and tried to grab her handbag from her. "What are you trying to do now? Are you trying to call the police?"

The both of them got into a fight and as the agent was a hundred and eighty centimetres tall man who was much bigger and way more muscular than Jiang Yuning, he managed to grab hold of Jiang Yuning's wrists, stopping her movement in a matter of a few seconds.

Jiang Yuning's hair was a complete mess as she continued struggling and resisting to set herself free from the agent's clutches. "Don't think that I do not know that you are working together with Lu Zongye. I even know about the five million yuan that he gave to you to set me up!"

"Slap!"

The agent yelled as he gave Jiang Yuning a tight slap across her face. "Bitch! How much more shameless can you be?"

Screech…

At this time, the both of them suddenly jumped because of the sharp braking sound made by a car stopping right in front of them. The agent scrambled and sat upright on the driver's seat as he muttered, "What is going on?"

"A car suddenly…"

Before he could finish his sentence, seven to eight men dressed in black suits suddenly stepped out of the two black cars in front of them as they walked towards the company car.

The car door was violently opened from the outside and at this time, one of the men dressed in black said in a calm and composed manner, "Miss Jiang, please come with me."

When the agent regained his senses and saw what was happening, he quickly grabbed hold of Jiang Yuning's arm before he said, "No, you are not allowed to leave!"

Before Jiang Yuning could reply, the man sitting at the back of one of the black cars slowly rolled down the car window before he glared at the agent with a cold expression on his face. "Who is not allowed to leave?"

"Second young master Lu!"

The agent had a shock of his life and he subconsciously let go of Jiang Yuning's arms. Didn't the Lu family decide to give up on Jiang Yuning? Why were they…it was the third young master of the Lu family who set up this trap for Jiang Yuning in the first place.

Slap!

At this time, a loud and crisp sound of a slap resounded in the car before Jiang Yuning stepped out of the car, filled with hatred and resentment. However, she did not hesitate to yell at her agent before leaving him for good. "I can't wait to see how CEO Huang is going to deal with you after this. You are such a shameless person!"

"I…I dare not. I will not do this again…"

The third young master of the Lu family had gotten involved with one of the top actresses in the entertainment industry and the Lu family did not agree to their relationship. Therefore, he decided to frame Jiang Yuning for something that she did not do, just so that he could publicly annul their engagement. Lu Zongye told the agent that he could do whatever he wanted to with Jiang Yuning after she was no longer his fiancée. How could he ever have expected that Jiang Yuning's back up plan would be none other than Lu Jingzhi! The elder brother actually picked up the broken shoe that was cast aside by the younger brother. Although it was really ironic, Lu Jingzhi was the mysterious prince of Luo City.

Jiang Yuning glared hatefully at her former agent for the last time before she got into Lu Jingzhi's car.

…

After getting into the black car, Jiang Yuning secretly observed the man sitting next to her.

He was wearing a white shirt and a black suit jacket, and he also had a black windbreaker jacket over himself. He was casually holding onto a piece of document in his hand and although he was seated in a comfortable posture, he emitted an irresistible and majestic aura that no one could easily resist.

"That was a really good slap. Well done."

Lu Jingzhi looked directly at Jiang Yuning and this made her feel extremely hot.

"Second brother, I do not understand why you have decided to take…"

In the end, Jiang Yuning could not bring herself to finish her sentence.

Grandpa Lu had arranged for Jiang Yuning and Lu Zongye to be betrothed when they were still young. Although the both of them had absolutely no feelings for one another, there were already several occasions where Jiang Yuning had no choice but to make an appearance as Lu Zongye's fiancée. So, why would Lu Jingzhi be interested in a woman such as herself? He was the heir of the Lu family and he was extremely wealthy and he enjoyed a very prestigious status in Luo City. He was respected by everyone in Luo City.

However, Lu Jingzhi wanted her even though she was discarded and cast aside. When Jiang Yuning initially saw the number of zeroes written on the cheque, she was at a loss for words. The only condition that she had to comply with to receive that money was to move into Royal Dragon Villa, where Lu Jingzhi currently lived now.

If this was not considered keeping her as his woman, then was this merely charity?

After listening to Jiang Yuning's question, Lu Jingzhi opened his eyes before he lifted Jiang Yuning's chin in a possessive manner. "You have to start adapting to your new identity starting from today."

Jiang Yuning's body went numb immediately as she trembled with fear and excitement because of Lu Jingzhi's touch. "What do you mean?"

Lu Jingzhi leaned forward in a casual manner as he looked directly into Jiang Yuning's eyes. "You are now my woman." 

Jiang Yuning could feel the goose bumps rising all over her skin.

"But I was your brother's fiancée…"

Jiang Yuning did not care about the rumours and she did not care about what the public would perceive of her but if Lu Jingzhi got involved with someone like her, wouldn't that be self-destruction for him?

Lu Jingzhi tucked Jiang Yuning's hair behind her ears and Jiang Yuning could feel her heart beating faster because of their close proximity. After that, Lu Jingzhi said in a low voice, "That is not something that you should worry about. However, I hope that I do not need to teach you how you should act and what you should do to repay me."

Jiang Yuning looked at the expression on Lu Jingzhi's face and when she realized that he was serious, she faked a laugh before replying, "You must be a very busy man…"

She was trying to get out of this awkward situation.

"I am a very busy man, but…" Lu Jingzhi continued staring right into Jiang Yuning's eyes. "I will definitely have time for you."

Jiang Yuning felt a little faint at the moment. However, Lu Jingzhi did not push any further. All sorts of wild thoughts started running through Jiang Yuning's mind at this time but all of these thoughts subsequently disappeared as soon as the car stopped moving.

At this time, Lu Jingzhi carried Jiang Yuning up in his arms and he brought her up to the big king-sized bed in the master bedroom immediately.

Jiang Yuning was so shocked that she could feel her jaw dropping. She tried desperately to find a way to get out of the situation. "I smell really bad now. Why don't you let me take a shower first?"

Lu Jingzhi took this opportunity to grab Jiang Yuning's wrist as he pinned her down on the bed and asked, "Do you really think that a man will let you off so easily just because you come up with ways to delay time?"

"Actually, I have always been in love with you."

Jiang Yuning suddenly muttered that sentence out of nowhere.

Lu Jingzhi immediately stopped whatever he was doing as he looked at her with a cold expression on his face.

"I have always been in love with you ever since I was little. Therefore, I really do not want us to start off so badly."

Why would she remain engaged to Lu Zongye for so many years if she was really in love with him?

Lu Jingzhi did not believe her words but he let go of Jiang Yuning before he walked out of the bedroom in a hurry.

Jiang Yuning quickly sat up on the edge of the bed as she heaved a sigh of relief. Jiang Yuning knew that Lu Jingzhi had always been sceptical of anything that came by easily. Therefore, she said those words intentionally to turn him off. However, looking at the way things had turned out, it seemed as though she was going to be that scumbag Lu Zongye's sister-in-law. Things were starting to get really exciting.
