traffic light turned red, Leo, the CEO of a major conglomerate, impatiently slammed on the brakes. His luxurious black Mercedes-Benz glided to a stop, but his expression remained ice-cold. He’d been in the city for three days, yet he hadn’t set foot outside his hotel. The company’s affairs were handled by his subordinates, but he needed to deal with a personal matter—his little brother’s marriage.

A flash of bright yellow sped past, stopping awkwardly at the curb. Leo could see the driver, a young woman with bright red hair and a bold demeanor, trying to grab the passenger door handle. She failed twice and cursed under her breath.

“Damn it, this car won’t open!” The woman, Lin Xi, was known for her cunning and shrewdness. She had always been able to get what she wanted through her wits. Now, however, she was stuck. She had intentionally let the traffic light turn red, hoping Leo would be delayed, giving her more time to deal with the situation.
