1 35th Floor

It was a rare occasion for Yan Qianxi to suddenly get a week of vacation, although she was a bit reluctant to do so she still agreed, after all she was never someone who would disobey an order. It was a habit she developed in her days in the military.

The moment she entered the building she instantly became the center of attraction. The way she walked so elegantly yet imposes that kind of authority, with her head held high and that dignified posture she has as if she was born to be an empress.

All eyes were glued to her, men swoon over her while women felt a pang of jealousy because of her innate beauty.

Yan Qianxi has a well proportioned body and natural a pale white skin complexion. For a woman she's also quite tall and just by looking at her long legs one would think that she is actually a runway model but that was definitely far away from the reality of her profession.

Without giving so much thought on the people around her, she made her way towards the elevator and pressed the 35th floor, which is the topmost floor of this condominium building where her penthouse is located.

The people inside the lift looked at the woman in disbelief, is this the mysterious woman who owns the most luxurious penthouse in the whole City B? They kept stealing glances towards her but she ignored them altogether as she closed her eyes and waited for the lift to reach her floor. Unfortunately for her the direct lift is under maintenance so she could only endure for now.

The lift opened on the 20th floor and two female employees entered not noticing Yan Qianxi standing at the back.

"I heard that Young Master Zheng came up to the 35th floor 30 minutes ago with the Little Young Miss, is that true?" one of the employees asked which made Yan Qianxi's forehead crease. Young Master Zheng, who's that? 35th floor? Are they mistaken? She owns the entire floor!

"I'm positive! It was really Young Master Zheng. But, isn't the person who owns the penthouse is a woman? From what I heard she is the only daughter of a very known family in the city, why would Young Master Zheng go there?" that daughter was me! That floor is mine and mine alone!

"Maybe the woman was the Little Young Miss' mother? That's the most plausible explanation!" the crease on her forehead deepened. What the hell is with 'the most plausible explanation'? Utter nonsense. She never had a child so where is this mother-daughter thing you are talking about?

Yan Qianxi opened her eyes and was about to say a piece of her mind but unfortunately the elevator door opened and the two exited before she could even open her mouth. It was impossible that the man they were talking about actually went here, she doesn't even know who the person is much less acquainted with him. And what, mother? Who's the mother of who?

It didn't take long when she reached her floor, after exiting the lift she walked about only three steps and placed her hand on the handprint scanner beside the door. When all the procedures were done, the door automatically opened.

She entered lazily, but the moment she's fully inside she immediately felt the presence of another person inside her house. Her facial expressions turned very serious, she immediately grasp the gun from her side. Thanks to the trench coat she's wearing, the holster was hidden very well.

Feeling the surroundings, she was startled when she heard a shriek from the living room. She pulled the gun and immediately ran towards the place where the noise came from with her gun pointed in front.

In an instant, the little girl who was busily playing with her tablet was frightened when she saw the woman who's gun was pointed at her although she was scared she didn't dare show it and shouted for her father and continued playing with her tablet as if the woman wasn't holding a gun at all.

"Daddy, there's a visitor!"

Yan Qianxi, who is more shocked when she saw the kid and was even more shocked when she was called a visitor. Visitor? Who's the visitor? This is her house!

Just when she was about to retaliate she heard a steady footsteps, based from the weight of each footstep she can easily determine that it is a man. She finally regained her focus and moved hand which is firmly holding the gun towards the entrance of the kitchen.

A man holding a glass of water suddenly appeared wearing only the inner shirt of his coat with two of the upper buttons left opened slightly revealing a part of his chest and a black tailored pants. Undoubtedly, this man is oozing with sexiness even though Yan Qianxi isn't the type of woman who's normally interested in men she cannot deny the fact that the person in front of her now is really handsome.

The way he walks with dignity and his charisma alone are enough to tell that this man is from the higher society, meaning he is either a high ranking official in the government, a high ranked military officer, or a crazy rich man in the corporate world.

"Yi Ran, didn't I tell you that if there's a visitor you should immediately offer a seat? That's the basic of hospitality." the man said in a cool voice as he walked towards the couch and sat comfortably.

Yan Qianxi's facial expression cannot be read anymore, aside from fact that she's utterly shocked that someone entered her house without her permission and now these intruders were completely ignoring the fact that she is the owner of this house and they are the uninvited visitors here!

Her gun followed the direction of the man as she said, "Who are you and what are you doing inside MY house? Since we have a kid here, I'd rather not result to violence. I may not know who you are but I can feel that you're no ordinary person."

The man placed the glass of water on the table and looked at her, "How do you know I'm not an ordinary person? Oh well, since you know I am why don't we have a talk in peace. Take a seat."

She smirked, this is the first time that she was offered a seat in her own house by a stranger at that! Though she was a bit aggravated by that she decided to put the gun back on her holster and sat in front of the man. She won't be killed by him alone and she's confident with that.

"The mere fact that you were able to get inside my house is the best proof of that, this penthouse has the best security in the whole City B it's impossible to get inside without my permission, unless you were given permission by.." she thought for a while and looked at the man with knowing look and when she saw his calm demeanor a realization came to him "No way."
