The same night, while snow continued to blanket the streets of Imperial, Ji Chu Hua was nowhere near the nightclub she had been frequenting.
Instead, she was in the comfort of her luxurious bedroom.
The enormous room was dimly illuminated by the warm glow of bedside lamps.
Heavy curtains concealed the windows, while expensive furnishings and delicate decorations reflected the extravagant lifestyle she had grown accustomed to.
At the center of the room stood a king-sized bed.
Its silk sheets were tangled, pillows scattered carelessly across the mattress.
Ji Chu Hua slowly sat up.
Her long brown hair cascaded over her bare shoulders, slightly disheveled from the hours she had spent with the man beside her.
Ever since Gui Ting Fei returned to Imperial, the two had been seeing each other frequently.
The frustration that had accumulated during his absence had found an outlet in their renewed relationship.
