A Touch of a Flaming Heart

Outside the delicate and elegant villa, a grand and extravagant wine party was being held on the spacious lawn.

It was brimming with guests—friends and family as they witnessed the coming-of-age ceremony of the Yan Family's second daughter. And as the host of the event, Nancy Yan wowed them as she was dressed in her elegant blue custom-made dress that seemed to be very expensive.

With a faint smile on her face, she greeted all the upper class socialites. She was sophisticated in every manner so as to impress her guests.

"There's Mr. Ji." Beside, her mother, Teresa Jia, came to Nancy Yan with a smile and whispered, "Nancy, go and greet him now."

"I know, Mom." Then, with a trace of joy on her delicate face, Nancy Yan immediately strode towards the door where her guest was about to enter.

"Is everything ready?" in a low voice, she eagerly asked a servant who was beside her. The servant handed her a glass of wine and then respectfully nodded.

Nancy Yan could not contain her happiness as she smiled from ear to ear. She then took the drink and walked exquisitely towards Clark Ji.

"I'm glad that you made it, Clark. Thanks for coming!" Nancy Yan got a little obsessed at this man, seeing that he was such a gentleman who was very sophisticated. In her mind, she actually doubted the existence of such a perfect man.

However, he still seemed aloof towards her. Driven to become his wife, she was forced to do something risky.

"Clark, I heard that you have transferred several shares of a couple of stores to me. Thank you. This gift is just too grand." Acting normally, she handed the glass of wine to Clark Ji. However, he only took a cold look at it but did not really make an effort to reach out his hand and take it.

"Oh, come on. I'm so happy, Clark! How could I ever repay you for your kindness?" Nancy Yan said while she looked at him with passion.

"Okay, I will be an adult after today. Don't you want to congratulate me?"

Clark Ji then lowered his head and glanced at the wine, a touch of unobtrusive aversion flashing in his eyes. Taking the wine from Nancy Yan's hand, he then said, "Yes."

On the other hand, Nancy Yan saw that Clark Ji didn't drink all of the wine, but only took a sip, which disappointed her a little.

But a sip was enough, as an invisible light seemed to have flashed right through her eyes at that moment.

"Clark, please wait for me here. I'm just going to see my Mom. I'll be back soon." Meanwhile, not so far away from where she was, she saw Teresa Jia waving at her. Teresa Jia was clearly trying to catch her attention as she wanted to introduce her daughter to some big personality. Nancy Yan was unwilling to leave Clark Ji's side. However, she had no choice but to excuse herself from Clark Ji.

Clark Ji stood still, but after a while, he felt something strange was happening in his body. Trembling, he then snuck out of the crowd and walked towards the villa behind him.

There, he noticed that his sight was getting blurry, as the scene in front of him became more and more washed-out. He began to pull his tie a little restlessly as he tried to restrain and ignore the discomfort that he was feeling in his body at that time.

Just when he stumbled into some random room, he suddenly inhaled a beautiful and aromatic scent that seemed to be the most lethal catalyst to what he was feeling at the moment.

"Who...Who are you? This is my room. Get out now!" A clear female voice echoed with coldness.

But when Clark Ji finally saw the woman's face, his last defense line had finally collapsed. What happened afterwards was all driven by his instinct.

Meanwhile, there was a low voice coming from a woman, followed by a soft struggle for mercy.

Rachel Yan felt tired as so much pain all around her body. The last memory she had was that she passed out while crying. She opened her eyes and saw the man staring at her neck without flinching, and then lost consciousness.
