Dai Shiyuan got off the car and looked at the towering office building in front of her, feeling a sense of shock.
She knew that Shan Yaxin's company was large, but she didn't expect it to own an entire high-end office building.
No wonder Shan Yaxin had enough capital to compete with the Dai family.
Thinking of her father's request, Dai Shiyuan's eyes darkened and she let out a heavy sigh before entering the Sheng Yong Group's building with a cold and stern expression.
As soon as she stepped inside, the luxurious decoration caught her eye.
Everywhere here indicated Shan Yaxin's current financial power and status.
Dai Shiyuan was more nervous than shocked.
She gave her name to the receptionist, who looked surprised without an appointment, but still politely and warmly escorted her to the entrance of the President's exclusive elevator.
Shan Yaxin must have informed them in advance.
Dai Shiyuan stood alone in the spacious and clean elevator, watching the red numbers continuously rise, gradually becoming more and more nervous.
Shan Yaxin's office was on the top floor. The moment the elevator opened, she saw a smiling and gentle face.
Unlike her usual casual style at home, Shan Yaxin was now dressed in a professional suit.
The high-end and expensive black outfit added a touch of shrewdness and competence to her, and her raised eyebrows and eyes had a sharp and intimidating aura. She exuded an impressive presence just by standing there.
Dai Shiyuan felt a sense of unfamiliarity, but also couldn't help but be amazed.
This was a side of Shan Yaxin that she had never seen before, but there was no denying that this confident and powerful Shan Yaxin had an irresistible charm.
Every smile and frown on that beautiful face was filled with an enchanting allure that made Dai Shiyuan involuntarily lower her gaze and tightly clench her fingers together.
"Xiaoyuan, you're here." Shan Yaxin raised her eyebrows and smiled as she spoke first, even if she softened her voice, she couldn't hide the nobility and arrogance in her demeanor.
Her confidence in her strategic planning was clearly displayed through her sharp eyes.
Dai Shiyuan's eyes flickered as she scanned the surroundings and discovered that the top floor belonged exclusively to Shan Yaxin.
In addition to a single-person office, this area also had a rest area and various fitness equipment, appearing to combine work and leisure.
Shan Yaxin probably stayed here without going home during the business trip she mentioned.
After standing in silence for a while, Shan Yaxin chuckled and took the initiative to hold Dai Shiyuan's hand, saying with a smile, "Xiaoyuan, let's go to my office."
Dai Shiyuan lowered her head, smelling the sweet fragrance that was close by, and couldn't help but glance up, then quickly lowered her eyes again.
In the office, Shan Yaxin poured a cup of coffee and placed it on the coffee table, sitting quietly next to Dai Shiyuan.
She didn't rush to ask, but patiently waited for Dai Shiyuan to speak up.
Dai Shiyuan picked up the coffee and, smelling the fragrance coming from inside, felt her nervousness ease slightly.
She took a small sip, staring at the ripples shaking in the cup, and asked in a low voice, "Sister Yaxin, what exactly do you want to do?"
"Xiaoyuan, why don't you try to guess?" Shan Yaxin smiled recklessly, leaned over, and licked the soft lip that still carried the scent of coffee.
Dai Shiyuan's heart skipped a beat, and she almost couldn't hold the coffee in her hand.
One hand steadied the cup in time, but a little coffee still spilled onto her slender fingers.
Shan Yaxin ignored the pain in her hand and stared at Dai Shiyuan with ambitious eyes.
The overly intense gaze made Dai Shiyuan's heart beat faster, and a guess gradually surfaced in her mind, but she couldn't ask it.
She was afraid that once certain things were brought to light, they could never go back.
After hesitating with her head down for a long time, Dai Shiyuan's voice became deep and she slowly spoke up, "Sister Yaxin, can you give them a few more days of grace?"
"Xiaoyuan, are you trying to plead for them?" Shan Yaxin chuckled softly, hooked her finger around Dai Shiyuan's delicate chin, and forced her drooping eyes to meet hers.
"I..." Dai Shiyuan was startled, her originally bolstered courage becoming hesitant at this moment.
She wanted to lower her head to avoid that sharp gaze, but the strength on her chin did not allow her to evade.
"Xiaoyuan, as long as you promise me one thing, I can let them go." Shan Yaxin used her fingers to grind the petals of her red lips, her eyes full of deep affection.
Dai Shiyuan's breath hitched, the immense pressure around her making it difficult for her to breathe, and she had to slightly open her lips to inhale.
The next second, her lips were taken by someone.
This kiss was fierce and intense, unlike the usual gentle and considerate ones, and the violent force seemed to want to swallow her up.
The air in Dai Shiyuan's lungs became less and less, and her face gradually turned red.
She tried to breathe, but could not keep up with the aggressor's speed.
"Xiaoyuan, as long as you agree to be my girlfriend, I will give them ten more days." Shan Yaxin released that bright red lips and gently stroked the pinkish cheeks.
The well-groomed and elegant fingers were beautiful, but they concealed full danger, as if they could hurt someone at any time.
Dai Shiyuan opened her mouth, panting heavily, her chest heaving with severe pain.
After a long time, that suffocating feeling finally dissipated.
The thing she feared most in her heart had happened.
Everything Shan Yaxin did was to force her to accept the relationship between the two of them.
"If it weren't for me, would you resort to such tactics?" Dai Shiyuan's eyes turned red, and the last few words were spoken with great difficulty.
Shan Yaxin smiled lightly and did not answer the question.
She did not deny that she did indeed want to force the Dai family to make Dai Shiyuan stay by her side.
If it were not for Dai Shiyuan, she would still suppress the Dai Group, but she would not use such despicable means.
She originally despised playing these petty tricks, but she had no way of getting Dai Shiyuan through normal means.
According to Dai Shiyuan's ostrich-like personality, if she did not do something drastic, Dai Shiyuan would always have a space to escape.
This time, she was willing to pay any price to block this person's retreat.
Only when there was no turning back could she catch this person who had been evading her all along.
Clearly, she could accept all of her intimacy, but she was unwilling to be her girlfriend.
How could she be content with such an 'illicit' relationship?
"Xiaoyuan, will you agree?" Shan Yaxin asked softly, with a gentle expression in her eyes.
The gentle words were like a huge rock pressing down on Dai Shiyuan, making her feel powerless.
At this moment, Dai Shiyuan truly understood that she had no choice.
Shan Yaxin, who had always indulged her unconditionally in the past, would not indulge her anymore at this moment. All she could do was to agree to Shan Yaxin's conditions.
After a long time, Dai Shiyuan slowly closed her eyes and nodded.
"From now on, you are mine." Shan Yaxin's heart was filled with joy as she couldn't restrain herself from hugging Dai Shiyuan tightly and kissing those soft red lips again.
She had been preparing for this day for a long time, and she couldn't believe that it was so easy when it finally came.
In her imagination, Dai Shiyuan would be angry and accusing after learning the truth, or even show disappointment.
Regardless of which situation it was, she had already decided to continue by using tough measures.
As long as she could keep this person by her side, even if she was hated and despised, she would spare no effort.
But Dai Shiyuan's emotions didn't fluctuate much, she just felt a little down, and the situation didn't happen as she expected.
For her, this was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise.
"Sister Yaxin, please don't do this in the future, okay? I don't want you to..." Dai Shiyuan pursed her lips and swallowed the rest of her words.
In her heart, Shan Yaxin was noble, beautiful, and perfect in ways that others could not compare.
Such a person should be the most dazzling flower blooming under the sun, not a businessperson with a dark heart and cruel methods.
She hoped that Shan Yaxin could shine elegantly and beautifully, rather than becoming paranoid and ruthless for some reason.
"Isn't this good enough? At least it can help me achieve my wish." Shan Yaxin laughed lightly, with a look of infatuation on her gentle and beautiful face.
Her fingers traced Dai Shiyuan's fair cheek slowly, then slid down her collarbone and slowly reached her slim waist.
Dai Shiyuan's face turned red, and her breathing became quick, as she avoided the touch by turning her head.
She could feel the finger recklessly wandering on her waist, slowly moving up to the position of her heart.
"Xiaoyuan, your heart is beating so fast." Shan Yaxin laughed softly, and her cheerful voice was filled with joy.
Looking at those bright eyes that seemed to possess everything, Dai Shiyuan was momentarily lost.
Just because of her words, Shan Yaxin showed unprecedented joy on her face.
Was she really that important to this person?
Dai Shiyuan suddenly felt a little lost, trying to relax her stiff body and slowly leaning towards the couch.
"Xiaoyuan, you can't regret what happened today." Shan Yaxin felt the beating of her heart, her gentle voice carrying a hint of dominance.
Dai Shiyuan closed her eyes and didn't speak.
She bore half of the responsibility for how things had come to this point.
There were many chances for her to stop it, but she didn't seize them, allowing Shan Yaxin to take advantage of her.
If she had discovered that Shan Yaxin was a lesbian from the beginning and distanced herself from her, perhaps things wouldn't have turned out like this.
Dai Shiyuan sighed in her heart, feeling the warm breath in her ear, and her calm face turned red again.
Although she was forced into a relationship by Shan Yaxin, it was also a desire deep in her heart.
If it weren't for the concern that their worlds were different, she would have accepted Shan Yaxin's confession last time.
"Sister Yaxin, we should go back now. Xiaoqing is still waiting for us." Dai Shiyuan opened her eyes and whispered, instantly dissolving the serious atmosphere of the negotiation just now.
This time, she still didn't resist.
Hearing these words spoken in the same tone as usual, Dai Shiyuan felt a tremble in her heart, and a hint of surprise and shock flashed through her eyes. She seemed unable to believe what she had just heard.
Quickly, Shan Yaxin suppressed her overwhelming joy, composed herself, and kissed Dai Shiyuan on the lips before saying, "Okay, let's go back now."
Even though this love was obtained through her despicable means, as long as she had this moment of happiness, it was enough.
Even if Dai Shiyuan's surrender was just an act, it didn't matter as long as this person was willing to stay by her side. Everything was worth it.
Shan Yaxin stood up happily, clasped Dai Shiyuan's hand, and showed a satisfied look of happiness in her eyes.
Dai Shiyuan lowered her eyes, looking at the intertwined fingers of the two people, and let out a sigh in her heart.
She had no way to ruthlessly refuse Shan Yaxin. If Shan Yaxin had pressured her a little more during the last confession, she would have still given in.
Today, she was just doing what she usually had to endure and restrain herself from, under the guise of helping the Dai family. As for whether it was right or wrong, she couldn't distinguish.

Author's note: Let's stop causing trouble and focus on writing the plot. Changing the story is too troublesome. I'll save the sweet stuff for later. Dai Shiyuan will still struggle for a while, until I finish writing the big plot point. Then she can face her innermost feelings directly.
Translator's note: SIGH... I also want to force someone to love me back but ugh...
I don't have money like Shan Yaxin 🙂😐... SAD LIFE!.. 😌
