Ding Ningdie’s skin had a subtle, sweet scent.


    The skin under Bai Hanmo’s touch felt like the finest silk, incredibly smooth.


    It was enough to make anyone’s heart flutter.


    The atmosphere was thick with ambiguity—wild and romantic.


    Ding Ningdie was thrilled, as it seemed Bai Hanmo really liked the scent.


    As expected of a gift from the Lian family’s youngdy, it was of really good quality.


    Ding Ningdie embraced Bai Hanmo, and they made love.


    Afterward, Bai Hanmo held Ding Ningdie close, his head buried in her neck, inhaling the pleasant scent on her skin.


    It was a night of savoring the afterglow.After that, Ding Ningdie applied the body cream after every shower.


    She found that the cream was amazing. Not only did it smell good when applying, but sometimes, when she squatted and then stood up, she caught a faint hint of it.


    It was an indescribably pleasant scent. Ding Ningdie even went to the mall topare perfumes, but she couldn’t find anything like it.


    It also nourished her skin. After using it for a while, her skin became as smooth as silk, refined and glowing with health, making her look much younger.


    In every intimate moment, Bai Hanmo would hold her close and gently bite her, leaving her breathless.


    Afterward, he’d hold her as they fell asleep, treating her better and better, with a gaze that grew softer each day.


    The body cream was in a small container from the start, and since she applied it to her entire body, it ran out quickly.


    Ding Ningdie loved this cream. She didn’t like any other creams anymore; only this one.


    Bai Hanmo liked it too.


    Ding Ningdie could only gather the courage to ask Lian Min where she got it.


    Lian Min: …


    Was she hinting at wanting another gift?


    Lian Min went to Ning Shu and asked her to make more body cream.


    Ning Shu: …


    She was really using it?


    Ning Shu nodded, signaling that she’d make more.


    “Have you told your brothers about thend deal?” Ning Shu asked.


    Lian Min’s expression turned gloomy. “My brothers think it’s a great deal and won’t listen to me. They gave me a card and told me to go shopping and not to bother them.”


    “Do I look like I’m short on money?” Lian Min asked Ning Shu.


    “No, the dividends you’re getting from me are more than enough for afortable life,” Ning Shu replied.


    “I don’t know if you just wanted to scare me, but I feel uneasy now. When I went to see that piece ofnd, the more I looked at it, the worse I felt,” Lian Min said helplessly.


    “Did you consult your grandfather?” Ning Shu asked.


    “Grandfather’s traveling around the world and is out of contact,” Lian Min said with a sigh. “I’m feeling a bit anxious about this.”


    “Anxious about what? There are still options,” Ning Shu said with a smile.


    “You’ve tricked me many times before. I don’t trust you,” Lian Min said directly.


    This was a bit embarrassing. In Lian Min’s mind, Ning Shu’s character wasn’t exactly trustworthy.


    “What options are there?” Lian Min asked.


    It was just too expensive. If they put all their money into buying thend, thepany’s cash flow might be at risk.


    And who knows when thisnd will actually turn a profit?


    Most importantly, Lian Min felt uneasy about it.


    “Just secretly reveal your family’s bid to Bai Hanmo. If he really wants to win thend, he’ll definitely bid higher than your brothers,” Ning Shu said with a sly smile.


    “And make sure to raise the bid a bit.”


    The bidding conference required eachpany to submit a confidential price, with the highest bidder winning.


    Since no one knew thepetitors’ bids, all thepanies would likely raise their prices to avoid losing.
