Chapter 375: Failure at the Last Moment

As soon as he finished speaking, he reached out to feel the temperature on Si Yanxiao's forehead, but Si Yanxiao frowned slightly and stepped aside to avoid him.

He lowered his eyes to hide the strangeness in them, his dark pupils growing even more intense. His expression was unpredictable, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He suppressed the restlessness emanating from his body and replied in a deep voice, "It's nothing. I'm probably just too tired from all the things piling up lately."

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhuwei's eyes flickered slightly. Taking advantage of Si Yanxiao's inattention, a sly smile appeared on her lips. Then, feigning consideration, she said in a low voice, "You don't look right. Why don't you rest for a bit?"

Her tone was full of consideration, but to Si Yanxiao, it sounded quite different. The perfume emanating from Bai Zhuwei was so strong that it stimulated his sense of smell, and Si Yanxiao's consciousness began to drift away.

Seeing the strange look on his face, Bai Zhuwei shook her head forcefully to force herself to stay calm. Seeing that the situation was as she had expected, a look of joy flashed in her eyes.

He didn't expect the medicine to take effect so quickly. He had only taken a small sip, so all the trouble he went through to get this stuff was worth it.

He then moved closer and asked with concern, "Ayan?"

Si Yanxiao's eyes flashed with an unusual expression. He looked up and vaguely saw Jiang Ran's figure appear before him, constantly approaching him and asking about his situation with a worried expression.

Seeing this, Si Yanxiao was momentarily lost in thought. He reached out and gently stroked 'her' cheek, only to see her grab his hand, her eyes filled with love.

In the past, apart from their sharp confrontations, the two were always distant and indifferent. When their relationship eased, they treated each other with respect.

Therefore, Si Yanxiao had never seen such an expression on Jiang Ran before. His eyes flickered slightly, and a ripple immediately appeared in his heart.

His expression was confused, and he murmured, "Ranran..."

When Bai Zhuwei saw that Si Yanxiao was unconscious but kept mentioning Jiang Ran's name, her expression suddenly changed.

She had long sensed that their relationship was unusual, but she didn't know when it started, Jiang Ran had already occupied such an important place in his heart.

Even after the medicine took effect, Jiang Ran was the only person he could think about!

Thinking of this, a fierce glint flashed in Bai Zhuwei's eyes, and her resentment towards Jiang Ran intensified. Now, she had taken a risk and ended up in this predicament all because of Jiang Ran!

Why is she allowed to sit in this position so comfortably, looking down at her with such an air of superiority?

This position should clearly belong to her! Bai Zhuwei's feelings of injustice grew stronger.

Then she raised her eyes and looked at Si Yanxiao seriously. Her gaze hardened, and she became even more determined in her decision.

Regardless of who he truly cares about, as long as this plan is successfully implemented, things will fall into place naturally, and he won't have time to back out!

Thinking of this, Bai Zhuwei's lips curled up slightly, a smile playing on her lips. She feigned a gentle smile and imitated Jiang Ran's tone, saying, "Ayan...do you like me?"

“I like it…” Si Yanxiao’s eyes flickered slightly as he replied in a deep voice, his breathing becoming increasingly heavy.

Seeing this, Bai Zhuwei took the opportunity to step forward and loosen his tie, asking casually, "So...do you want me?"

As he spoke, his hands continued to move, removing his tie and then starting to unbutton his shirt.

Seeing her actions becoming increasingly audacious, a glint of clarity flashed in Si Yanxiao's eyes. Although the person in front of him looked like Jiang Ran, why was she behaving so intimately with him?!

Just a short time ago, she made her stance clear and drew a line between the two of them. How could she be acting like she has completely changed her personality now?

A taut string snapped in his mind, and Si Yanxiao's eyes darkened. He pushed the person in front of him away. Bai Zhuwei was caught off guard and pushed aside while she was deeply in love.

Before she could react, she saw Si Yanxiao get up and walk quickly outside, his steps a little unsteady.

Bai Zhuwei quickly called out from behind, "Ayan!"

Si Yanxiao continued walking, seemingly oblivious to everything.

After leaving the house, I was still a bit dazed, but I managed to stay conscious and hailed a taxi that was coming from the opposite direction.

He then spoke in a low voice: "Royal View Villa."

"Okay," the driver replied softly, stepped on the gas, and sped away.

Si Yanxiao felt a burning heat all over his body and unconsciously pulled his collar open a little more.

The driver saw his actions in the rearview mirror, a hint of doubt flashed across his face, and he sped up a little.

On the other side, Bai Zhuwei chased after him to the door and watched helplessly as Si Yanxiao got into a taxi. Her eyes darkened, her fists clenched, and her brows were filled with anger.

Unexpectedly, even at the very last crucial step, all our efforts were in vain!

What shocked her even more was that, under such a strong drug, Si Yanxiao was still able to restrain his physical needs and had a moment of clarity.

For a moment, she didn't know whether she should admire his willpower or resent his obsession with Jiang Ran.

Even though she was already completely lost in passion, she still sensed that something was wrong.

Thinking of this, Bai Zhuwei's eyes suddenly darkened, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in them. She turned around and went back to her room, picked up her phone and dialed an unknown number.

The phone rang only twice before being answered instantly, and Lu Ziyi's hoarse voice slowly came through: "Why are you calling me at this time? How's things going?"

“The plan has failed.” Bai Zhuwei’s expression hardened, her brows furrowing with malice, and she cut to the chase.

"What?!" Lu Ziyi exclaimed in surprise, standing up abruptly with a gloomy expression. He asked in a deep voice, "How could this happen? Wasn't the plan foolproof?"

The two of them had planned everything out from the very beginning, arranging every detail meticulously.

Bai Zhuwei was responsible for using Si Zuochen's information to lure Si Yanxiao into the room, then drugging him and having sex with him when he was unconscious. Meanwhile, he was responsible for guiding public opinion by using his previous ambiguous relationship with Jiang Ran.

Using the excuse that Si Yanxiao and Bai Zhuwei still had feelings for each other, and then using the story of love and hate in a wealthy family, they lured the media to her residence. By then, with witnesses and evidence, even if Si Yanxiao wanted to deny it, it would be too late.

Jiang Ran wanted to take this position, didn't she? He wouldn't let her have her way!

Furthermore, with Si Yanxiao's extramarital affair ruining his image, Bai Zhuwei was able to enter the Si family as she wished, killing two birds with one stone. She had a very well-thought-out plan.

But I never expected this kind of accident to happen.

Hearing Lu Ziyi's urgent question, Bai Zhuwei's expression flashed with impatience, and she replied coldly, "Come over and we'll talk in detail. It's hard to explain over the phone." "Okay," Lu Ziyi replied immediately and headed over there.

After hanging up the phone, Bai Zhuwei's brows immediately turned sinister, a hint of ruthlessness flashing between them. Her hands clenched into fists, her nails digging into her flesh without her even realizing it.

At the same time, Si Yanxiao rolled down the car window. A cold wind blew by, and although the heat did not subside, his mind became slightly clearer.

As a leading figure who has been in the business world for many years, even if he had never encountered the strange sensation in his body before, he could guess the effect of the medicine.

His gaze suddenly darkened, his mind went blank, and the only thing he clearly recognized was Jiang Ran.

Earlier, when Jiang Ran told him that once they found the person, they would cut ties completely, he felt a mix of emotions, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what kind of feeling it was.

Only now, after this incident, has he realized that Jiang Ran has become an inseparable part of his heart, without him even noticing when.

Love arises without warning, and deepens with time.

When the driver arrived at the villa, Si Yanxiao staggered out of the car. Seeing him leave immediately, the driver couldn't help but get out and chase after him, reminding him in a deep voice, "Sir, you haven't paid the fare yet."

Si Yanxiao's eyes turned cold, and a hint of impatience flashed across his face. The bodyguard outside the door saw someone pulling his boss, and his expression changed drastically. He quickly stepped forward, nodded slightly, and said respectfully, "Mr. Si."

Si Yanxiao nodded slightly, suppressing his discomfort, and said in a deep voice, "Take care of it."

"Yes," the bodyguard replied repeatedly.

Si Yanxiao walked straight toward the main hall. Upon seeing this, the butler quickly stepped forward to support him, his face showing concern. He asked softly, "Sir, are you feeling unwell? I'll ask Dr. Zhou to come."

"No need." Si Yanxiao frowned and stopped him, then shook off the butler's hand and said in a deep voice, "Don't let anyone near the main hall."

The butler looked puzzled and confused, but still replied in a low voice, "Okay."

After saying that, he went to dismiss the servants who were working and sent them to the courtyard.

On the other side, Jiang Ran was calculating Si Zuochen's location.
