Elara remarked, "In the political system, reaching his current position at his age means his ceiling is incredibly high. His next posting will likely be as the Mayor or Deputy Party Secretary of a major prefecture-level city."

Zane frowned slightly. Was this the type she liked?

Because of that, after finishing her shower and lying in bed, surrounded by the heavy blanket of the night...

She wasn't experienced in this area, so she pulled out her phone and reviewed the instructional guide the intimate care specialist had sent her.

Things that cost money were generally user-friendly.

Elara turned off the main lights in the room, leaving only a dim, amber glow from the bedside lamp...

It turned out to be completely different...

Different from Julian Sterling, and different from Zane Whitaker.

Honestly, with Julian...

During their seven-year marriage, it had been reasonably good...

But she had never experienced the kind of sensation she felt last night...
