Bang!
The door was violently forced open by the newcomer!
Struggling to maintain consciousness for one last second, she slowly turned her head toward the source of the noise at the doorway.
The corridor lights were dazzling, streaming into the room through the opened door.
A tall, handsome man stood in the light, breaking through the darkness as he came to her side, his expression unclear.
Just like when he had appeared before her three years ago, unchanged…
Years later, when Cheng Xiyu asked her when she had fallen for him, she couldn’t pinpoint an exact time or place, but this scene would always surface in her mind.
There was nothing particularly thrilling about it—it was just that when he walked in, he brought the light with him.
“Wang Ye, call the hospital!!! What are you still standing there for?!”
“Brother Cheng, I—”
“Move aside.” Cheng Xiyu’s face was cold and stern, frightening her into silence.
These two idiots! They couldn’t even handle one woman—
What if Brother Cheng found out she was the one who sent them… What should she do?
It’s fine… It’s fine. They have no evidence, and my brother will plead for me.
Brother Cheng wouldn’t risk offending the Smith family over a woman. It’s not worth it.
Hmph! That vixen managed to escape, and now Brother Cheng is so worried about her!
Cheng Xiyu’s expression was dark, his lips pressed into a tight line, an intimidating coldness radiating from him.
He didn’t even spare Beina’er a glance, the veins on the back of his hand bulging. Yet he still controlled himself, gently picking up Jiang Shu, whose face was flushed.
Jiang Shu only felt as if she had touched a block of ice, the sensation intensely soothing. She couldn’t help but nuzzle against him in his embrace.
Hot…
So hot…
Waves of emptiness and heat washed over her. The more she rubbed against him, the more unsatisfied she felt. The more comfortable it was, the more she wanted…
The person in his arms was restless, and Cheng Xiyu wasn’t faring much better. He wanted to take her right there, but without knowing what drug she had been given—there were many aphrodisiacs on the market—what if it had side effects?
The woman in his arms moved restlessly, planting messy kisses on his neck. Kissing wasn’t enough; she weakly bit him with her pearly teeth.
“Tch… Behave…” His voice was low and hoarse, his dark eyes tinged with desire.
“Drive faster.” In the back seat of the black Bugatti, Cheng Xiyu tightened his arms around her.
“Okay, we’re almost there—” Wang Ye glanced at the rearview mirror, his face instantly flushing red as he averted his gaze and slammed on the accelerator, speeding the black car forward.
Jiang Shu was burning up all over, her hair disheveled on both sides, her face glistening with sweat from the heat. Her small, delicate lips were swollen and crimson, her peach blossom eyes shimmering with an alluring charm. The mole on her eyelid was vividly red and enticing, damp, as if she had just emerged from water.
Cheng Xiyu wasn’t in much better shape. Tormented by this seductive little enchantress who had been kissing and nibbling on him, all while rubbing against him restlessly, his neck was covered in patches of red, and his collar had been tugged open. Yet, with his aloof, ascetic face, he was all the more maddeningly irresistible.
As Cheng family head’s personal assistant, Wang Ye’s capabilities were no joke. Not only was he perceptive and quick to arrange for hospital staff to receive them, but his driving skills were also top-notch.
“Mr. Cheng, we need to run a blood test for this young lady. Is that acceptable?” the doctor said cautiously.
“Mm.”
“Run a full check-up.””Don’t worry, Mr. Cheng,” the doctor breathed a sigh of relief and went to prepare the necessary items…
Cheng Xiyu gently laid her on the hospital bed. After administering a sedative, the feverish heat in Jiang Shu’s body gradually subsided, and she fell into a quiet sleep, allowing him to settle her down.
He felt a slight tug on his sleeve. Following the sensation, he saw that one of her hands was still clutching his sleeve tightly, as if unwilling to let go, evoking an unexpected sense of docility and tenderness.
He gently pressed a soothing kiss to her lips, then carefully freed his sleeve from her grasp. She merely furrowed her brows before sinking back into unconsciousness.
She didn’t wake up even when the doctor came to perform a series of examinations.
Outside the ward.
Through the glass, Cheng Xiyu watched as the nurse administered an IV drip, his expression still terrifyingly cold and grim.
If he hadn’t seen the message she sent him earlier, what would have happened to her today?
If he hadn’t made it in time, what would she have done?
Why was she so foolish?! Her judgment was so poor—how could she not see that he didn’t like her?
Once the contract expired, he would no longer want her. With her naivety, would she be deceived by others? She might pretend to be strong and avoid bothering him, even if she couldn’t bear to let go.
Today’s incident was definitely no coincidence. Someone must have deliberately targeted her. As a girl fresh out of school, who could she have possibly offended? It must be because they found out about her relationship with him, resorting to such despicable means!
He had few enemies in Hong Kong, so it likely wasn’t revenge.
If not revenge… then it must be about love.
He had a vague suspicion in his heart, but he needed evidence to confirm it.
His gaze grew increasingly fierce: “Investigate. Find out who dared to lay a hand on my woman!”
“Yes, sir,” Wang Ye replied respectfully, lowering his voice slightly. “Sir, how should we deal with those two men?”
Thinking about what those two had intended to do to Jiang Shu, his expression turned even colder, a faint hint of murderous intent visible in his eyes. His dark pupils narrowed sharply: “Beat them until they can’t move, then throw them into a men’s prison.”
Since they enjoyed such acts, let them taste their own medicine.
“…” Wang Ye felt a surge of fear. “Understood.”
In a men’s prison, even the rats were male. Desperation could make anyone disregard gender. Throwing two beaten and defenseless men into such a place—the brutality they would face was unimaginable.
He hadn’t expected the sir to care so much about Miss Jiang.
He was somewhat confused about the sir’s feelings—did he like her or not?
If he did, why not make it clear to her? Why treat her as a substitute?
If he didn’t, why was he so frantic and protective?
Being an assistant was tough—having to manage the boss’s relationships and deal with violent affairs.
Meanwhile, Beina’er, who had been left behind, was both anxious and furious. She wanted to ask her brother to sound things out for her but was afraid of being scolded.
She had insisted on coming to Hong Kong because she heard that Brother Cheng was keeping a woman—and had been for over two years. She wanted to see if this posed a threat.
Not only had she failed to meet the woman, but she also encountered a vixen trying to seduce Brother Cheng. She had drugged her to teach her a lesson.
Little did she know that this vixen was the very woman Brother Cheng had been keeping at home!
Why did she and Brother Cheng pretend not to know each other, leading to her misunderstanding?
If she had known, she wouldn’t have acted so rashly!
The fact that Brother Cheng had kept her for so long meant he must have some fondness for her.
If only she had known… If only she had gathered more information before acting!
When the Cheng family brother finds out… Ugh, this is so annoying!!!
Wait! I can call Sister Bai and ask. Sister Bai grew up with the Cheng family brother as close friends. Having her put in a good word for me should work!
Beina’er immediately took out her phone to make the call. The person on the other end seemed busy with something, answering only after a moment:
“Nana, what’s wrong? Is something the matter?” The woman’s voice on the phone sounded familiar, sweet and gentle, instantly making people feel fond of her.
