“Remove your clothes, lie down on the bed and put your legs up” she heard the doctor’s command.

On a blue surgical sheet, a fragile and beautiful woman closes her eyes feeling humiliated. Her long lashes were as thin as butterfly wings, emotionless yet breathtaking, her flirtatious red lips were slightly pursed, sadness flowed out from her eyes.

Bitterness spreads over her chest. A nineteen-year-old girl, Xiaoxi Chen followed the doctor’s instructions with humiliating, took off her clothes, lied on the surgical bed and waiting for the doctor’s examination.

Xiaoxi seems to feel the ironic look on the middle-aged female doctor. She must think that she is a girl who loves vanity. This is the first time that Xiaoxi Chen has stripped herself naked in front of other people. She consoles herself since the doctor is a woman.

The strong sunlight penetrates through the curtain of the examination room, the light is so strong that she can’t open her eyes. However, her heart was trapped in complete darkness, because she accepted a job that was not acceptable by society---a surrogate mother to produce a child.

She is only nineteen years old. Not yet graduated in college. A current student to be exact. She tried to have a multiple part-time-job to meet ends but unfortunately, it wasn’t able to cover her mother’s medical expenses. The doctor checked her for a while. Then, Xiaoxi Chen heard the doctor say coldly: “ Okay, put on your clothes!” Xiaoxi Chen began putting her clothes on, then she took a long sigh of relief. Finally, this step is over. After this, she could get half of the money they agreed on the contract.

She was fair-skinned, her black long hair was tied down neatly on her back, a large t-shirt covered her thin body and her soft appearance made her look like helpless and delicate. A man in a suit waiting outside the door, he saw Xiaoxi Chen being sent by the doctor. Then he looked at her and whispered, “ Dr. Lily what’s the results?” looking towards the doctor.

Mr. Zion Ni, don’t worry, she is a virgin, doesn’t have any gynecological disease!” Dr. Lily did not evade, bluntly said. Xiaoxi’s face flushed red right away, she did not dare to look at the man in front of her, she only knew that he was the assistant of the person who is looking for her as a surrogate mother. As for what the person looks like, Xiaoxi had no idea. She doesn't know the man’s appearance. She only knew that the person was willing to pay five million dollars to find a surrogate mother. There was no doubt that he was a wealthy and mysterious figure.

“Ms. Chen, let’s go!” Zion Ni called her attention after he said a few words with Dr. Lily, after that he got into the car with Xiaoxi Chen. The car drove towards a villa which was located in Huangshan Mountain.

“Ms. Chen, from today onwards, before pregnancy, in order to ensure the child is pure, the young master told that you can’t leave the villa until you give birth. The young master will give you a huge amount of payment. Ms. Chen, you don’t have to worry about your mother’s condition. Half of the  money will be bank in into your account today.”

Xiaoxi Chen sighed, “ Can I make a call if I am not allowed to go out?”

“Of course!” Zion Ni answers her gently. “ Ms. Xiaoxi, this is not controlling your freedom, but the young master has paid such a high cost, therefore you should be responsible for him, right? including your act!”

“Okay!” Xiaoxi Chen put her hands together feeling uneasy. “ Ms. Chen, there are clothes and all the daily necessities in your room. For the meal part, I will be in charge of it and bring it to you every day. Ms. Chen, the procedures are all done, you just need to sign the documents when we arrive at the villa.”

“Oh!” Xiaoxi Chen stunned, but because of her mother, she needs to accept the job. The moment she signed, complicated thoughts filled her mind. She didn’t know where the future leads. After signing, it is equal to ruining her life. However, there’s no other way! She needed the money for her mother’s heart surgery. Tears fall down in her cheeks and she gently wipes it. She handed the documents to Mr. Zion Ni. “ Mr. Ni, is he coming tonight?” she asks him.

“Yes he will come tonight” he answered. “Ms. Chen, I will go back first. This is the other copy of the contract, keep it!” Zion Ni turned around and left the villa.

She was left alone in a huge villa. Xiaoxi Chen waited until nightfall with fear, she is going to betray herself, no, she already betrays. Suddenly, she was nervous, she doesn't know what is the man’s personality would be like. When she opened the door of the second-floor bedroom, she immediately stunned by the expensive decoration. It is designed perfectly, white decoration on it added atmospheric and solemn feelings, even the bed sheets are also white. Enough to make people feel guilty. Xiaoxi Chen thought, does that person are mysophobia?

The white color furniture is like preparing for her. Inside the bedroom is a large double bed and bedside table, when she opened the cabinet, inside are all new clothes, she has never seen, but at first glance, she knew that it must be branded. She wasn’t interested in any of that. She just wants to end the contract soon and return to school as soon as possible to continue her studies. She takes a shower and changes her clothes, waiting for the arrival of the young master. At ten o’clock in the evening, an unlicensed black Bently appeared in the yard of the villa.

Xiaoxi’s heart began beating rapidly. He is coming, that person walking towards the main door! She took a deep breath and stood at the entrance of the hall downstairs. The sounds of the leather shoes on the marble floor was coming nearer, the footsteps paused at the entrance, then a while later he approached her step by step, her heart was about to explode.

Suddenly, the door opened, and a tall figure came into her eyes, followed with bright leather shoes and straight trousers. Looking up, his body was slender, the body scale was perfect, he was not fat at all, but he was wearing a black fox mask that was commonly used in masquerades.

Xiaoxi Chen’s heart was beating like crazy, she suddenly felt dizzy and almost waddled. The man glanced at her face and spoke. “Are you Xiaoxi Chen?” It was a nice voice, deep and charming, added with a little bit of sexy fascination, very suitable for being a broadcaster, also the voice sounded young.

Xiaoxi Chen stepped back, she was nervous and spoke in a soft voice. “ Y-yes!” After that, she secretly took a peek at his face, she saw his lips press together, and a hint of gloominess flashed across. Then he looked at her with irony and smirked: “ Do you know what you should do?”

Xiaoxi felt that he was a strict man, and she was so scared that she didn’t know what to say. “What? Are you shy?” Along with his thin lips slightly opened, his hand quickly and gently picked her chin up. “Look up!” a strong voice coming out from the man’s mouth. Sounds of warning and authority. Xiaoxi was forced to look up and their eyes met, she was so nervous at that moment.

“Well, your look is okay, have you showered?” Xiaoxi’s heart beats successively. “ I, I’ve already showered!” she answered in a shy voice.

“Let’s go! Go to the bedroom!” The man’s voice was still deep and charming, striking her eardrums.

“Y-yes!” She was very docile. She knew that she must earn her mom’s surgery fees immediately.

“Afraid?” he asked again, the tone was no longer cold but seductive. Xiaoxi was speechless, she was very afraid, but she did not dare to say any words. The man turned around, and the next second, her feet fell on the floor.  She is falling into an embrace, warm and generous, surrounded by a strong manly aura, she felt dizzy again, her face was as red as a ripe tomato, “ Young master, I...I can go by myself!”

He remained silent, the corner of his mouth raised up and picked her up to the bedroom on the second floor. “Xiaoxi Chen, from today onwards, the contract becomes effective, do you regret it? I will give you a few minutes to reconsider!”

“I don’t regret!” She said with a guilty conscience but firmly. For her mother, she is willing to contribute herself. Her mom is the only family she had. The cold and penetrating eyes behind the mask suddenly softened, staring at her quietly. Then whispering: “ Are you sure you know what would happen next moment?”

Xiaoxi was carried onto the large bed in the bedroom. He untied his suit and placed it on the sofa. He comes closer to her. Xiaoxi looked at him and she assured that the man was mysophobia.

“ I know!” her voice still firm and does not back down, as long as her mother will get better, everything is worth it. Suddenly, she felt so painful when she was being held by a pair of big hands. His strength is powerful enough to let her wanted to cry. Through her tears, she saw his lips pressed together and seemed unhappy. “You actually betraying yourself, is this very profitable? You felt shame?!”

Xiaoxi felt her heart was hurt and tears welled up in her eyes. How can she not be ashamed to a total stranger that will about to get her innocence? She has no choice, she can’t let her mother die! However, she does not intend to explain anything. After all, she did this because of money.

Seeing her silent, the man seemed somewhat unhappy. He pushed her to the bed. One of his hands go inside her pajamas and sneer: “No one touched here before? He teased her” Suddenly, her body was cold and tremble but the sensation is unbearable. The man’s lips slipped on her collarbone. He started kissing her passionately igniting a sexual desire.

She was angry and ashamed. She had instinctively started to dodge to the other side of the bed. There is even an impulse to escape in her mind, but if she does it, what about the surgery fees? It is needed as soon as possible. The man grabbed her and pulled off her pajamas, it reveals her good figure. Then he kissed on her body that he just touch and sneer “ Don’t you want money? Well? Why do you want to escape? I have warned you before. If you want to escape, the money will be gone!”

“ No! Can- can we do it tomorrow?!” Xiaoxi screamed in panic, pushing his body and struggling to roll to the other side of the bed but he is on her top. She is afraid, really scared! This man is too horrible.

“ Don’t you want money? Fine, you can leave now!” The man snorted and let her go. Xiaoxi suddenly stunned, what she was doing! Looking on his fox mask in front of her eyes, she suddenly hugged his arm in an eager, trembled in a low voice: “ I won’t dodge anymore!”

The man sneer. He reached out her again and pulled away her pajamas. The white body figure was exposed to the air, it’s cold, but her body was hot. She was so scared that she bit her red lips and stared at him with a horrified look. His tongue goes inside her mouth tasting her soft lips. Xiaoxi widened her eyes and stared at the man in front of her. The image of the fox mask was flashed in front of her. In the next few years, she can’t erase this image in her dreams. The finger that had stayed at her chin gradually slid down and a hot alcoholic sensation provoked her skin. She shivered slightly and grabbed the sheets with her little hands. She knew the man will take her innocence this time. She smelled alcohol coming from his breath but it added a pleasure that turns her emotion wanting him back.

A sound that the sheet was torn, she was cold and screamed. He entered her body without inhibition. The man stopped for a while, he knows she’s a virgin. She hurriedly covered her body after that tearing moment. She feels the pain in between her two legs and her entire body felt exhausted. Bloodstain is at the sheets.

He started to kiss her again but she is screaming: “ No!” her lips pressed together and grasped it tighter as she tried to cover her body.

“Take your hand away tiny kitten!” he stared at her. “ I….” She wanted to say something out loud, but she’s being stopped with his next action. In the end, she, can only cry and scream repeatedly in silent. “ Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!! Please stop now?!!!!!!!! “Hmm!!!!!! Her voice coming out but the man never listens to her.

After a long time, the man finally stopped. He felt she was trembling slightly. He slowly calmed and began to raise a pity for her… She’s innocent the man said into his mind.

“Okay, don’t cry!” He reached out and held her into his arms, kissing the tears on her face gently. “If you want money, you have to go through this, I will pay you more!” Her heart hurts when heard what he said and she suddenly pushed him away. “ Satisfied?!, is it enough for tonight?” she hissed.

“ Do you think you can reject me? Haven’t you understand the contract?” He announced with anger, ignoring the tears on her cheeks. Although this was her first time he just didn’t want to let her go, how long? he didn't know the answer. He doesn't want to let her go so soon. The woman innocence and beautiful face, make him feel wanting more.  Drive him crazy every time he kissed and caressed her.

He came to her once again, Xiaoxi sobbing and wanted to cry but she couldn’t cry out. Once again, she felt excruciating pain. This time, he was ruder than the previous. She didn’t know if she still can survive. She can’t stand it and start to struggle, but she couldn’t make it because he was heavy. He wants her. He came over to her again and again until he felt contented.

“ You let me go! Let……. Me….. Go!” Her sound is intermittent because of pain. The man raised her jaw with one hand and stared at her coldly. “ Can’t you take it? Don’t you want money?”

After a long time, he finally released her………. The house is quiet, the man went to bathe, Xiaoxi was lying on the bed like a puppet, and her eyes are flowing out of the tears….. The phone rang at this moment, broke the silence of the room. The man quickly came out in the shower room still wearing the mask, answered his phone, and whispered in a very gentle tone: “ Jingfei, why you haven’t slept yet?”

His tone is soft and gentle like telling a love story with a lover. Xiaoxi smiled a wry smile. The man was good at acting, just now he was crazy and want her several times, but at this moment he was so affectionately comforting another woman. “Well, I will go home right away, don’t wait for me and take some rest after cleaning!”

The man hung up and began to wipe his body. He didn’t remove his fox mask that covering his face. Xiaoxi’s eyes looked at the ceiling but don’t look at him. When the man dressed, he glanced at the blood on the sheets, and his heart was touched by something. His voice was frantic and cold, “ Get up and take a bath, change the sheets tomorrow, don’t let me see something else on it. Inside the cabinet, in this room, there are lot’s of bed sheets.”

He had just taken a nineteen-year-old girl first night. The girl is clean and drives him crazy. Xiaoxi did not move, her tears flowed quickly, this man really is mysophobia. He dressed and stood in front of her, looking at her condescendingly, “You are just a surrogate mother after you did your job you will be well treated I assure you that. I’ve bank in half of the compensation. Do not feel pity for yourself we’ve agreed on it together through a contract!”

“Thank you for the money!” Xiaoxi said. “ You can go now!” At this time, Xiaoxi’s phone rang, and she quickly got out of bed, ignore her pain, and don’t care if he was in front of her seeing her naked body because the only person who called her was her mother.

The man saw her eagerly pick up the phone, his eyes glowed a sigh of anger. He was supposed to go but he stopped because he can’t leave her immediately.

“Hey! Mom? Are you okay?” Xiaoxi asked anxiously. There was a strange voice on the other side. “ Ms. Chen, I am the doctor of your mother. I am sorry, she passed away! She felt anxious when she couldn’t find you this morning and after that, she never woke up again. “ Ms. Chen, do you know that a person with heart disease can’t stand the stimulation, we are sorry!”

“What are you talking about?” Xiaoxi Chen stuffed her other hand to her mouth trying to stop her emotion but tears starting to flow on her cheeks. “ No----that’s impossible, my mom will not die, no…….”

The man was shocked upon hearing her voice. He turned around and looked Xiaoxi with empathy. The woman’s beautiful face filled with tears and her nude back trembling. He asks her gently after approaching her, “Has someone died?” He squatted in front of her trying to ignore her nude appearance, he saw her mouth was bleeding, the hand was bitten by her mouth and injured. He slightly frowns, her little face really looks pity. He doesn't know what would be the exact words to say because Xiaoxi continues crying.

“I’m going now, I’m going to see my mom at the hospital right now!” she still crying. She put down her phone and stood up, but the pain between her legs causing her almost fell, so the man reached out and held her.

“What’s going on? Can you please elaborate it to me. How can I help you?”

She ignored him, she picked her dress and fix herself. She is still not in a good state but she needs to see her mother. After a while, she said, “ I want to go out, I want to go out Mr. I don’t want money, our contract ended here. I don’t want that money anymore!”

“Are you sure?” The man frowned. No matter how surprised the man behind her she picked her small bag the only thing she brought in this villa. She’s heading towards the door when she heard the man’s voice. “ I really felt bad with your attitude and I don’t know what’s going on but consider everything before you make a final decision” he clenched his hands while trying to figure out what’s really going on. Xiaoxi doesn’t have much time to talk to him so she walks forward. “My mom had passed away!” she said it painfully.

The man grabbed her. “ There is no car going down at night, I will send you to the hospital”. He was so irritated but at the same time felt sad for her.

“Sir, please let’s end this contract and forget what had happened. I wanna go down now!” her voice is begging. He is hesitant to agree with her pleading but he can’t convince her anymore.

Along the way, Xiaoxi tears kept flowing. The man driving silently, giving her all the time to cry. This woman really makes him crazy. At the main entrance of the hospital she heard him saying, “ If you don’t want to continue our agreement, I won’t force you then! Half of the cost is paid through your bank account as compensation for your first night!”

Xiaoxi felt insulted and humiliated but she doesn’t dare to utter any words, then she got out of his car immediately. Looking at her figure which is rushing inside the hospital his slender fingers was holding the steering wheel tightly and turn pale. Out of desperation, he takes off the mask. Revealing a handsome and beautiful face, he frowned tightly and a trace of sorrow show on his eyebrows.“ Hard-headed little kitten,”he said silently then leave.

When Xiaoxi Chen arrived at the wardroom, the nurse just covered her mom’s body with a white sheet. She ran towards her mom’s dead body like a madman while crying. She’s screaming to death because of so much pain. She tried her best to raise the money but why all of a sudden her mom passed away.

The doctor approached her, “Ms. Chen, I am sorry, we had tried our best but she didn’t make it. Feeling guilty and apologizing to her. Although the death of the patient is very common and normal for someone who had suffered heart disease still the doctor felt sympathy for her.

Looking at her mom’s dead body she screamed so loud, “No------- why? Why mom leave me so soon?”

“Ms. Chen, our deepest condolences to you!” The doctor and nurses tried to console her. Tears rushing down in her face, the agony and pain remains. The moment is heartbreaking, she only burst into tears and tried to prevent herself painted. “Mom-------

Two months later. Xiaoxi was in dazed and finally, she accepted the fact that her mom passed away. She returned to school and doing a part-time job. She discovered that she was pregnant. Only one night, she was pregnant! She gathered her strength to work harder to save money for all her maternity needs. Her best friend Chaoxing Bai always encouraging her to stay strong. Today is her monthly check-up, she’s holding her tummy while looking at the hospital entrance trying to remain calm.

After an hour she’s walking out of the door of her gynecology. Xiaoxi held the test result and she smiles because the baby in her tummy is in good condition. She suddenly remembered the man in a fox mask, the father of her child who never comes again after sending her to the hospital two months ago. If this was known by him, she didn’t know what would happen and what will be his reaction. When she thought of this, Xiaoxi Chen panicked, no, she wanted to escape and immediately fled to a place where no one knew her. She doesn't want to get in touch with him.

Walking forward in the hospital hallway, Xiaoxi was in a hurry because she needed to return back at work. Suddenly she bumped into a wide embrace, “Oh sorry Sir.!” Instinctively looking up, she saw a slender figure, a black suit wrapped around his strong body. The figure is getting longer and longer, the thin but fortified face was as cold as winter and snow. Deep and dark pupils like the stars falling in the sky, it flashes with dazzling brilliance but it seems to contain with gloomy. The nose as straight as the ancient Greek sculpture and the thin lips pressed together without any expression.

“Sir I’m sorry, I'm in a hurry” Xiaoxi once again apologize. She inexplicable felt this person was somewhat familiar, but she can’t figure out where she encountered him. The man lowers his head and stunned when he saw Xiaoxi Chen. In his mind, she’s the woman who destroyed their contract. Giving him so many sleepless nights. He ignored his thoughts and nodded. “It’s ok!”

The low and indifferent voice is as cold as the winter snow, Xiaoxi Chen’s inexplicable trembling then she bowed to him expressing her sincere apology then left. The man did not stop her, but he looked back at the thin figure that had left urgently with his deep and unpredictable eyes. Why all of a sudden he saw her again, looking at her beautiful and innocent face the night they shared together flashes back in his mind. He cursed silently. When he looked down, he found a test report on the floor and picked it up. He was shocked as he saw Xiaoxi Chen’s name on it and indicating that she was pregnant. The man slit his deep eyes and looked around to find Xiaoxi but unfortunately, she’s gone. His eyes look dangerous like a leopards catch the prey.

“Rouzhen, why you come here? Didn’t I say that you don’t need to come here?” Suddenly the voice of the euphemistic woman came. Rouzhen quickly put the report into the pocket of his suit, and the corners of his mouth evoked a gentle smile.

“ Jingfei, I felt worried about you, that’s why I come. How was the result?” The woman approaching him was as beautiful and delicate as her voice. A fair-skinned with a pair of bright small eyes and her lips revealing a trace of sadness. “ Rouzhen, there is no other choice, the doctor said I needed surgery to remove my womb, maybe I couldn’t have a baby in my life anymore! “ Uncle Lui won’t let me marry you!”

“Jingfei, don’t worry, we will go to the US and check again maybe we can find the best way to cure  your illness and have the best option later on.” Rouzhen comforts her and patted her shoulder. “Let’s go home!”

On the other side, Xiaoxi walked out the hospital gate and quickly call a taxi, after she got on the taxi she found out that her pregnancy result was gone. It must have been accidentally lost when she bumped into that man earlier.

While on the taxi she heard the radio broadcasting a piece of news: “Dear listener, our station just received the news. It was previously rumored that Gu Corp CEO, Mr. Rouzhen Gu, and the Jiang Group heiress Jingfei Jiang wedding is coming soon but recently report said, Mr. Liu Gu, who is the current chairman of Gu Corp declaring that the wedding is canceled. As of the moment we tried to reach out Mr. Rouzhen Gu to get his opinion on this issue but his personal assistant said that he is busy!”

Xiaoxi Chen was shocked upon hearing the news and that figure appeared in her mind realizing that the man whom she signed a contract was the current CEO of Gu Corp. She saw the man several times on a business magazine being featured.

Truly rich people have their trouble, poor people also have their own troubles. Life is impermanent and fate sometimes makes a way to let certain individuals meet. She now realized that the father of her baby is Rouzhen Gu who wore fox mask the first time she saw him. That’s explained why the man covered his face, to avoid any controversy. Her hand once again touch her tummy, she will give birth to a baby soon without Rouzhen.
