"Ah?" the woman exclaimed. "Are you crazy? That medicine works instantly! Why didn't you wait until night to put it out... This could have ruined everything."

"Alright, now come help me look for it..."

As they spoke, their footsteps faded into the distance.

Xu Xinchen walked out into the empty corridor, where there wasn't a soul in sight. Ahead was the side door of the lobby. Just as Xu Xinchen was about to approach, the door to the next room suddenly opened, and she was instantly pulled inside.

Before she could even process what was happening, a hand covered her waist and gripped it tightly.

A jolt ran behind me, and my body was forced against the door.

Xu Xinchen was in excruciating pain and almost cried out.

She looked up and saw a familiar and handsome face in front of her.

She stood there, stunned, unsure how to react.

The man before her still had that familiar face, his gaze lowered, his eyes sparkling like a large, unblinking dog staring at her. But she still sensed his unusual behavior.

He was breathing rapidly, his face flushed, and his hot breath seeped into her skin.

The hand around his waist tightened its grip, his gaze a mixture of pain and confusion...

Xu Xinchen couldn't help but become deeply involved.

But she knew he was in danger, and Chen Bailing's words suddenly echoed in her mind.

The medicine... He took the wrong medicine.

As she thought this, her hand unconsciously reached for his forehead, but before she could touch it, it was grasped by another, even warmer hand.

Chen Ningsheng pulled down her hand and held it tightly in his palm.

Her palms were slightly sweaty, and her other hand was also stained with sweat.

"Chen Ningsheng, don't worry about me."

A wave of panic washed over her, and her hands involuntarily began to struggle.

But the more she struggled, the more rapid his breathing became, and the brighter his eyes grew.

Xu Xinchen had a bad feeling, but before she could think about it carefully...

He subdued her, pressing her body firmly against the wall in an instant, squeezing her all over and holding her extremely tightly.

Before she could react, she was thrown into a hard embrace, her body and legs firmly restrained by wrists, and she was thrown onto the bed.

The bed sank deep in the center. Xu Xinchen struggled to get up, but before she could even sit up properly, she was gently pushed and fell back onto the soft bed. This time, the man's body pressed down on her.

The whole process was chaotic. All she remembered was that he was like a wolf, relentlessly pursuing her, as if possessed, never satisfied.

The process was even more intense than when they were together.

This intensity was also mixed with a great deal of pain.

Another new dawn broke, and Xu Xinchen lay on the clean white sheets, her body covered in red marks, a testament to the intensity of last night's battle.

She gently lifted her eyelids, staring blankly at the ceiling for a long while before remembering where she was. She immediately sat up, pulling the covers over her head. Her upper body felt chilly. She looked to her side and saw that he was still fast asleep, his eyes closed, completely unaware of her surroundings.

She bit her lip lightly, her eyes were slightly dark and she looked tired.

I picked up my clothes from the clothes scattered on the floor and put them on. I almost fell when I got out of bed, and I felt a slight pain somewhere in my body.

She got dressed, sat on the edge of the bed for a moment, and then turned back to give him a deep look.

Just as she was about to leave, her wrist was suddenly tightened, and she instantly lost her balance and fell back onto the bed. The man next to her pressed down on her, his handsome face slightly distorted, staring at her fiercely from a distance of less than a centimeter.

Her wrists were pinned to the bed, rendering her unable to move, and her body was pressed beneath him; she was now a lamb to the slaughter.

She turned her head away, avoiding his fierce gaze, but heard his sarcastic remark, "Trying to run away again? Like before? Hmm?"

He suddenly increased his strength, and her wrist felt excruciating pain as if it were about to break.

But she bit her lip, remaining silent and not revealing a single emotion in front of him.

Chen Ningsheng grabbed her chin and turned her face towards him, his fingers digging deep into her flesh.

"You used this trick back then, do you think I'd let you do it again?"

He asked through gritted teeth.

"I didn't." She couldn't take it anymore and turned her head away.

Heh, I heard his low, cold laugh, which seeped into my skin and sent shivers down my spine.

He suddenly pressed his body against hers, his hands holding her face still, and kissed her cheek.

Her body trembled slightly, and he sensed her despair, and smiled deeply.

"Lu Minshi, from today onwards, I will never let you leave my side again."

He roughly tore open her collar, and when he saw the exposed fair skin, his eyes turned bloodshot.

His breathing became heavy, and her skin developed a layer of small bumps.

The next moment, he pressed his face against it.

With a sharp "smack," Chen Ningsheng covered his face in disbelief, staring intently at the woman in front of him. Her eyes were bright and filled with anger as she looked at him.

Chen Ningsheng froze, his body stiffening, and slowly slid off her. As soon as Xu Xinchen was free, she immediately sat up and ran to a distance of five meters from him.

The air was quiet. Chen Ningsheng sat on the edge of the bed, his hands resting on his knees, radiating an air of dejection. His head was bowed, obscuring his expression. He looked like a defeated, homeless dog.

Her instinctive fear slowly dissipated, and his silence also affected her, causing her to calm down unconsciously.

The room fell silent for a moment.

Just as Xu Xinchen was about to leave, she suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside the door.

Before she could react, she heard loud banging on the door, and there was a large commotion outside, clearly indicating that there was more than one person.

She froze, then turned to look at Chen Ningsheng, who also paused. He was sitting on the edge of the bed, and they exchanged a glance.

The door was pounded on loudly, followed by Chen Bailing's hysterical roar, "Lu Minshi, open the door for me!"

Another voice advised, "Bailing, don't get so agitated. Asheng might not even be here."

The waiters all saw him and Lu Minshi go in, and you still spoke up for them...

Xu Xinchen panicked for a moment. She looked at Chen Ningsheng sitting on the edge of the bed, but he seemed indifferent and didn't react much.

He seemed to be deep in thought.

Xu Xinchen had a bad feeling, but then he suddenly sat up from the bedside, strode to the door, and opened it without hesitation.

Outside the door, Chen Bailing couldn't dodge in time and stumbled, falling to the ground.

Chen Bailing lay on the ground, propped herself up with her hands, and when she saw the scene inside the room, her face turned incredulous and her eyes instantly reddened.

“Ah Sheng...you…”

Tears slowly welled up in her eyes, and though she opened her mouth, her voice trembled, and she couldn't utter a single word.

Outside the door, figures flickered, all watching the commotion, yet it was unusually quiet.

Xu Xinchen inadvertently met a pair of deep eyes.

She froze instantly, his gentle voice still ringing in her ears, "Give me an answer."

He stared at her intently, his dark eyes unfathomable and unreadable.

Xu Xinchen bit her lip lightly and lowered her head, unable to face him.

She still owes him.

"You wretched child!" Chen Ningsheng's father's eagle-like black eyes took in everything, and his cheek muscles twitched slightly.

"Bailing is your wife, how could you treat her like this?"

Enraged, Chen Bohui gritted his teeth, walked over, picked up a stool, and was about to smash it over Chen Ningsheng's head.

Chen Bailing reacted quickly and grabbed Chen Bohui's legs.
