At this moment, Shen Jing felt bold. "Long-term development is exhausting and thankless. A few one-night stands can just be part of adult nightlife, right?"
He just laughed. "You really know how to play."
How would she know? Wasn't this exactly what he wanted? Each taking what they needed, no messy entanglements afterward. Shen Jing whispered, trying to divert the topic, "Did you come from the large courtyard near the Second Ring Road? You... aren't staying with your family?"
Zhou Luchen raised an eyebrow. "Trying to find out about my family, are you?"
Shen Jing flinched slightly. "I couldn't even if I wanted to. I wouldn't dare provoke any imperial relatives with the Zhou surname in Beijing."
Zhou Luchen observed her physical reaction. Even though her body was honest, her words were still stubborn. "But didn't you come here to provoke me?"
She laughed. "You were the one who initiated it."
"Me?"
A low laugh rumbled from his throat, his voice slightly husky.
