Kang Chen was silently mulling over things in his heart.
He was certain that Ming Mei was still the same Ming Mei, no one could deceive the Kang family so convincingly.
If that was the case, there could be one other possibility.
Was Ming Mei planning to play hard to get this time?
If that was it, Kang Chen scoffed in his heart, unsure whether to say Ming Mei had become wiser or only more foolish.
However, how could Kang Chen know?
The woman in front of him was no longer the old Ming Mei, but another soul, uncontrolled by him, from a far-off Earth and the 21st-century space-time.
Kang Chen slightly lifted his chin, his eyes had regained their calm, and he spoke calmly, as if from some icy machinery, “If you’re playing the injured party, play it convincingly.
You’re only making yourself look foolish.”
Ming Mei secretly rolled her eyes in her heart, wondering just how much the original host had upset Kang Chen to the point he couldn’t even bother to hate her.
Ming Mei nodded seriously, “Alright, I’ve taken note of your words.
If I want to try again, I’ll definitely be more straightforward.”
Ming Mei’s response once again took everyone by surprise.
Kang Chen’s brows twitched a bit: “Very well.”
In his two concise words, Ming Mei could hear a bone-chilling cold, a lethal killing intent, which made her shudder even under the covers.
She shivered, her gaze falling between his chin and the second button of his shirt.
The sexy collarbone, elegantly curved neck, neatly tailored military uniform reflected a gorgeous seduction scene.
However, the object of seduction was definitely never her.
Ming Mei caught sight of a red spot on Kang Chen’s neck and her heart inexplicably flared up with anger.
Damn this man!
While she was unconscious, almost dead, he had been out indulging in pleasure.
Taking a couple of deep breaths, Ming Mei pointed towards the water cup on the bedside table and asked Dr.
Stephen, who had been observing her, “Could you pass me a cup of water?”
Doctor Stephen flinched, he took a glance at Kang Chen, and saw his gloomy, icy-cold eyes.
Just the look of it sent shivers down his spine.
However, he also felt a bit sorry for Ming Mei, so he quickly poured a cup of water and helped her take a sip.
Kang Chen’s eyes coldly flicked towards the doctor’s hand.
Dr.
Stephen felt a sudden sharp pain in both of his hands, he almost let go of Ming Mei.
Tremblingly, he handed the water to Ming Mei.
It was cold, but Ming Mei didn’t care about it.
She gulped it all down, finally feeling a bit more alive.
“Thank you.”
Dr.
Stephen: “You’re welcome.”
After taking back the empty cup, he took a step back, not daring to move forward and tried his best to make himself invisible.
Ming Mei thought to herself, since she was alive, she needed to live well.
If she couldn’t afford to mess with her husband, then she wouldn’t send herself to ‘death’ anymore.
Ming Mei looked at Kang Chen.
His handsome face, at that moment, was like a block of ice, emanating a chilling aura.
Kang Chen was a soldier, possessing the sharpest instincts.
From the moment Ming Mei woke up, he had repeatedly sensed that something was off about her.
Normally, he would have left long ago, not staying with Ming Mei more than five minutes.
But this time, he stayed put, he was observing Ming Mei.
Because he felt that his previous inference of Ming Mei playing hard to get didn’t quite hold up.
Kang Chen’s instinct told him that this woman seemed to be starting to slip out of his control.
