"You regret it?" Xi Leng's expression changed abruptly, turning cold and dark. His hand was already on Li Ruan's neck, as if he could snap her neck if Li Ruan's answer didn't satisfy him!
Li Ruan seemed completely unaware that her life was in someone else's hands. She suddenly gave Xi Leng a charming smile, gently rubbing her thigh against his body, and her small hand slid down his chest and down further down. "No, it's because you're so amazing."
Xi Leng wanted to ask why he didn't regret not wanting to sign a longer contract with him, but because of Li Ruan's actions, he was no longer able to think.
Half an hour later, there was a knock on the door. Li Ruan pushed the man off her and said, "Go open the door, the waiter has brought the food."
Xi Leng: ...At a time like this, you actually called for a halt?
Just as he was stunned, he received another kick to the leg. "Hurry up, do you still want your stomach?"
Only then did he realize that he had been left hanging like this. He expressed his deep condemnation of this behavior that completely disregarded the life or death of his younger brother, but it was to no avail.
After washing his hands in the bathroom and calming down, he put on his bathrobe and went to open the door.
The person outside the door wasn't a waiter, but a host.
"Young Master."
Xi Leng took the food cart with a blank expression, then slammed the door shut.
He placed the food on the table, slowly finished the not-so-lavish but inexplicably heartwarming dinner, and then returned to his bedroom.
The person on the bed had their back to him, their head buried in the soft pillow, and their long hair spread out on the bed like a soft silk net.
He quietly lay down on the bed, and just as the blanket was pulled over him, Li Ruan rolled over and snuggled into his arms, her hand touching his stomach. "It's bulging. Looks like you're full."
"You're not asleep?"
"I've been waiting for you. It's been so long since we last met. I wanted to talk to you."
Xi Leng touched her injured wrist to check it over, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that it hadn't gotten wet.
"I thought you were going to continue what you were doing earlier."
"Only a pervert like you thinks about that kind of thing all day long."
She extended her good hand, grasped Xi Leng's slender fingers which were slightly cool, and then intertwined her fingers.
Xi Leng felt wronged. He was almost thirty years old and had only been with her a few times in his life. Because she was delicate, he had to control her and couldn't mess with her as he pleased.
But seeing the slender white fingers that were tightly clasped together with his, he actually thought that this seemed pretty good. "Is the film crew fun?"
After the incident during the day, Li Ruan spent most of her time sleeping except for meals. She wasn't sleepy at all right now, so when Xi Leng asked her, she couldn't help but start talking, "What's so fun about it? I'm exhausted!"
"It was alright during the filming of 'Spark,' but the crew of 'Immortal Demon Tribulation' was working non-stop. Everyone else had finished filming their scenes, but I was the only one reshooting. I was in every single scene, and it was incredibly tiring. Every day when I got back to the hotel and lay in bed, I would think, 'If only you were here with me.'"
Xi Leng turned to the side and used his free hand to smooth her long, black hair. "Did you really think about me?"
Pear-like soft, pretty peach blossom eyes blinked, then she shook her head vehemently in denial, as if trying to cover up her lie, "No, you misheard! I don't want to think about you!"
Xi Leng pulled the person into his arms and held them tightly, saying, "You're just saying that."
Li Ruan's lips were sealed again, their breaths mingling, their lips and teeth intertwined. The first night they were together, Xi Leng's kiss was awkward, but also ruthless, as if he wanted to devour her whole. But this time, his kiss was very serious and extremely gentle, giving people the illusion that he was kissing his rare treasure.
After a long while, the two finally separated. By the dim light of the bedside lamp, Li Ruan could see the desire gradually rising in the man's eyes, but he did not continue. He just stared at her intently. Then he lay flat on the bed with his limbs outstretched, put one arm under Li Ruan's neck, and gently embraced her. In fact, he also missed her.
Even when he was very busy with work, he would think of her when he relaxed occasionally. He thought of her softness, her long and charming legs, her kitten-like whimpering, her jade-like skin, even her beautiful and charming little feet, and the alluring fragrance that emanated from her body at all times. He thought of these things more than once.
Are you really okay?
How could she be in such good condition after falling from such a height?
"Who said I was fine? Ouch, my head is spinning again, and my hand hurts so much, boohoo, I must have hurt myself by exerting too much force just now..."
Xi Leng was extremely helpless. She was really both demanding and spoiled. "Okay, okay, you're not better yet. I'll take you for another check-up tomorrow, otherwise I won't feel at ease."
Hearing this, Li Ruan wrinkled her little nose again, "Let's forget it, the hospital smells too bad, I don't want to go back."
“Then we won’t go back. I’ve already asked someone to invite the renowned traditional Chinese medicine doctor, Mr. Huang, over. He’ll take your pulse properly tomorrow. Perhaps traditional Chinese medicine can detect things that Western medicine can’t. I can only be at ease if Mr. Huang says you’re alright.”
Mr. Huang, whose original name was Huang Guizhang, is a descendant of a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. He had previously been in charge of the health care of several leaders in Longcheng.
Even if you offer him money, you can't hire him.
Li Ruan immediately launched into a tirade of praise, "Mr. Xi, you are probably the kindest person to me in this world, besides my family!"
What should I do? If you keep going like this, I might get greedy.
Xi Leng's eyes darkened. Greed? Did she want his heart? He subconsciously avoided thinking about that question and changed the subject, "By the way, I haven't asked you about that man tonight yet."
He wanted to ask her at the hospital, but this woman always managed to change the subject, preventing him from getting a chance to ask.
Li Ruan shifted her body and placed one hand on his chest. "Who knows what that kid will suddenly do? But it's normal for someone to confess to someone as pretty as me, right?"
Xi Leng: ...What do you mean it's normal? Has she forgotten that she's already taken?!
"Stay away from those men in the future. By the way, I noticed you're hospitalized without anyone to take care of you. How about I arrange an assistant for you?"
"No need to trouble you. I have assistants. One of them is going to handle some business, and the other will pick me up. They'll both be here tomorrow."
Qiangzi went to pick up Sister Na and Xiaoyuan. She told Sister Na in advance that someone would be staying with them that night so they didn't need to come. Sister Na wasn't stupid; she knew she was referring to her "sugar daddy" and didn't insist on coming.
The two chattered on and on, and before they knew it, they had fallen asleep in each other's arms.
But things weren't going well for Wang Xingrui.
After the bodyguards dragged him and his assistant away, his mouth was gagged and stuffed into the trunk.
After Xi Leng brought Li Ruan back to the room, Wang Xingrui suffered his first severe beating.
