"Don't..."

Mi Yiyao weakly grabbed Zhang Bin's roaming hand, her voice anxious. "Boss, I am only trying to show you that I am a person who keeps her word and that I am completely loyal to you. But you said just now that you respect a woman's choice. While I admire you, I haven't completely fallen in love with you yet. I have already given you my first kiss, but I'm not ready for anything else. Can you please give me some time?"

Zhang Bin looked at the sexy, alluring beauty with admiration and satisfaction, a deep sense of joy welling up in his heart. Actually, he was just testing her to see what kind of woman she was. The result satisfied him greatly. If she were the type to covet his wealth, she certainly wouldn't have said such a thing; she would have put up a token resistance before getting into bed with him. If she were the type who rigidly adhered to principles, she never would have let him kiss her in the first place. This showed that Mi Yiyao was a woman who knew how to be flexible but still had her own boundaries. Most importantly, she genuinely wanted to assist him in building a great enterprise. That was why she used this method to show him her loyalty—that she was the kind of woman willing to give her all for his career. Of course, she was also showing him that she was a woman of integrity, open only to him. After all, it was her first kiss.

Moreover, Zhang Bin had already had Tutu look into Mi Yiyao's background. He discovered that at 24 years old, she had truly never been in a relationship. She had been dedicating all her time and energy to assisting Zhu Danyan, helping her ascend to the throne of Empress, leaving no time for her own personal life. Most importantly, she was a proponent of being single.

"As you wish."

Zhang Bin stopped his advances, contenting himself with kissing her passionately.

A look of surprised delight appeared on Mi Yiyao's face, and she responded with even greater enthusiasm. Clearly, she was also very pleased with him.

They remained lost in a deep kiss for what felt like an eternity. It was more than half an hour before they finally stopped.

Mi Yiyao had gone limp in Zhang Bin's embrace. With a wicked grin, he said, "Yiyao, you should move into my villa from now on."

"I..." Mi Yiyao hesitated for a moment before replying, "Alright, Boss. To be honest, I worry about you living here all by yourself. You're terrible at taking care of yourself. But, you're not allowed to come into my room and bully me."

"Then you can come to my room and warm my bed," Zhang Bin said with another roguish smile. "That's the only way I'll sleep well."

"Boss, you should stop teasing your subordinate. The day I fall completely in love with you, I'll come and warm your bed on my own," Mi Yiyao said, blushing.

They shared a few more sweet moments and whispered words of affection before Mi Yiyao managed to struggle out of his arms and get to work.

Mi Yiyao was a classic workaholic. When she worked, she was a dynamo of boundless energy and radiant passion, clearly loving every moment of it.

Sure enough, her team arrived quickly. The team consisted entirely of stunningly beautiful and charming women. There were only twelve of them. All were highly educated, adept at investment and financial management, skilled in all kinds of event planning, and even more proficient in public relations. They were all seasoned professionals, appearing sharp and highly competent.

Originally, this thirteen-person team had served Zhu Danyan exclusively. It was precisely because they worked for her that the team was all-female, as that avoided any potential for negative press. Now, they had one more person to serve.

"Greetings, Boss," they shouted in unison, exuding an elite aura.

Looking closely, one could see a hint of joy on each of their faces, and their beautiful eyes gleamed with hope. They were clearly eager to do something big and achieve earth-shattering results. After all, the young man before them was the mysterious and powerful King of Gamblers. On top of that, their leader, Mi Yiyao, had told them that Zhang Bin was also an incredibly powerful Cultivator. As long as they worked hard, they were sure to gain immense benefits that went far beyond mere money.

Mi Yiyao introduced them one by one to Zhang Bin, finishing with a lovely laugh. "These are the Twelve Golden Flowers. The name isn't just because they're beautiful; it's because they are all top experts in investment, financial management, and event planning. Recruiting even one of them would allow anyone to rapidly double their wealth."

Zhang Bin looked at them with admiration. "I have a question. Why do none of you have boyfriends?"

The First Golden Flower answered in a clear voice, "Boss, it's because having a boyfriend can affect a woman's judgment and distract her. This, in turn, impacts work efficiency. Therefore, once a member starts dating, she is no longer suitable for this team and must be removed."

"Doesn't that rule seem a bit harsh?" Zhang Bin asked, taken aback.

The Second Golden Flower replied charmingly, "Boss, this rule is necessary. We are the best team in the world, and any potentially negative influence must be eliminated."

"But isn't that a waste of your youth?" Zhang Bin asked with a sigh.

"Boss, we are all career-oriented women," the Third Golden Flower replied. "We're not interested in romance; our passion lies in our careers. We truly enjoy it. Your concern is unnecessary."

Zhang Bin gazed at them intently. They really are all as beautiful as flowers, and their eyes shine with the light of wisdom. Their resolute expressions set them apart from ordinary women. The three Golden Flowers were telling the truth. Like Mi Yiyao, they are all career-oriented women who care little for romance. It's clear that if I wait for Mi Yiyao to fall completely in love with me and offer to warm my bed, it could take eight or ten years, if it ever happens at all. When the time is right, I'll have to take the initiative myself.

He nodded, asked a few more questions, and then said, "Do any of you have any special requests or questions? If you do, now is the time to ask."

The Fourth Golden Flower looked at Zhang Bin expectantly. "Boss, we heard that you're a Cultivator who can refine miraculous Elixirs. Is it true that a single pill can preserve a woman's youth for thirty years?"

"It is true," Zhang Bin said with a smile.

"Boss," the Fifth Golden Flower asked hopefully, "if we work hard for you and achieve great results, could we possibly be rewarded with such an Elixir? That way, we could serve you for several more decades and earn you a vast fortune."

A Jade Vial suddenly appeared in Zhang Bin's hand. He took out a pill and said, "This is the Elixir you speak of. It's called the Evergreen Pill. Its value is immense—worth at least 2 billion Mikin. However, as long as you remain loyal to me and work hard, anything is possible."

Shock and joy washed over the faces of the Twelve Golden Flowers. They felt a genuine admiration for Zhang Bin's boldness; that he would be willing to reward them with such a priceless Elixir was astonishing.

"Thank you, Boss! We will definitely work hard!" the Twelve Golden Flowers cried out charmingly in unison.

"From today on, you are all my trusted confidants. I want to give you a welcome gift..." A mysterious smile spread across Zhang Bin's face.
