Song Mai had never seen Chu Xing so panicked before, and immediately realized that something was very wrong.
On the way back, Assistant Lu drove in a great hurry. If it weren't for the red lights, Song Mai even suspected he would have driven like he was flying.
Chu Xing sat quietly to the side, his expression full of tolerance.
The veins on his clenched fists were bulging, and he looked like he was in great pain.
Song Mai, unaware of his ordeal, instinctively leaned closer and whispered, "Are you alright?"
The delicate fragrance of gardenias emanating from her body immediately filled the air, amplifying the already intense feelings within her.
Not wanting to lose his composure in the car, he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm fine."
"You don't look too well. Could it be that you're not feeling well?" Song Mai leaned closer to check if he was injured.
The intense heat threatening to engulf Chu Xing made him swallow hard, his Adam's apple bobbing as he suppressed his agitation.
Even so, he was still almost unable to suppress the urge to push Song Mai down.
He took a deep breath, trying to make his tone sound calm, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm fine, I'm just feeling a little unwell. Just sit still and don't move around."
Song Mai hesitated, unsure why he had suddenly become so strange.
Assistant Lu was very anxious and reminded him, "President Chu, I'm not feeling well right now. Let's talk about this when we get home."
Aren't we going to the hospital?
Song Mai couldn't help but wonder, if he didn't go to the hospital soon, he would probably be in terrible pain.
Assistant Lu had considered taking him to the hospital, but he had reservations. Since Liu Jia'er was able to administer the drug so openly, she might have already made thorough preparations.
As a public place, hospitals are where privacy can be exposed at any time.
Assistant Lu could not casually expose Chu Xing's reputation, so he decided to send him home.
Chu Xing kept his eyes tightly closed, fighting against the intense heat within his body.
No matter how hard he tried to suppress it, the pain was almost suffocating him.
Fortunately, the hotel wasn't too far from their home, and Assistant Lu breathed a sigh of relief the moment the hotel stopped at the door.
His task is complete; now it's up to Song Mai.
Chu Xing was the first to push open the door and get out of the car, staggering as he walked. Seeing this, Song Mai quickly went forward to support him.
The moment the door closed, Chu Xing could no longer contain himself.
He hugged Song Mai tightly and slowly said, "I was drugged by Liu Jia'er."
Song Mai asked in confusion, "What kind of medicine is it? Should I take you to the hospital?"
"The hospital can't help me."
At this point, Song Mai realized that the medicine he was talking about was not what she had imagined.
Her face flushed, and her speech became slurred.
How can I help you?
"Help me into the bathroom, don't worry about the rest."
Song Mai couldn't bear it; Chu Xing looked so different from usual. This vulnerability was only shown to her; even though he was a decisive and efficient company boss when he was out in the world, few people could see that he needed care now.
Song Mai shook her head repeatedly: "No, I can help you too."
Chu Xing did not want to force her, nor did he want to take advantage of her vulnerability.
He does need Song Mai's help now, but he also understands that if she is unwilling, he will not force her in the slightest.
“I’m serious, I’m your wife, of course I can help you.”
Yesterday's events already left Song Mai with regrets. She had made ample preparations, yet she was tormented by her fear of the unknown.
Looking back now, I realize that my spoilsport behavior must have disappointed Chu Xing as well.
"I want to wait until you're truly ready before..." Chu Xing turned his head away, not wanting to force the issue.
Before she could finish speaking, Song Mai kissed her fiercely.
She wrapped her arms tightly around Chu Xing's neck and stood on tiptoe.
Faced with his beloved's embrace, Chu Xing could no longer restrain himself. He grabbed her waist and lifted her up with force.
She wore loose-fitting clothes, revealing her snow-white skin which looked even more alluring against the gray bed sheets.
Her long, black hair, like black algae, was casually scattered on the bed, exuding an alluring charm.
Chu Xing gently kissed her earlobe and whispered, "Are you ready?"
Song Mai nodded nervously, but then calmed herself down.
This was a moment that both of them had been waiting for for a long time.
Their fingers intertwined, leaning intimately on each other.
...
Chu Xing held the slightly panting Song Mai in his arms, his deep laughter echoing in her ears.
Song Mai, her forehead beaded with sweat, glared at him with displeasure.
Both of them were exhausted and had never experienced such pleasure before. Chu Xing was reluctant to stop, but seeing Song Mai's extreme fatigue, he decided to let her rest.
Song Mai's eyes suddenly widened, and she couldn't help but whisper, "Wait, you're not wearing that..."
Chu Xing was taken aback. Everything had happened so hastily that he hadn't even realized the necessity of the items.
In addition, the two of them usually treated each other with respect, so such items would naturally not appear in their home.
Song Mai panicked and immediately got up to go to the pharmacy.
Chu Xing gently took her hand and said softly, "We are already married, so having children is perfectly normal."
“No, I’ve just started to achieve results at the company. If I get pregnant at this time, I’ll definitely lose any chance for promotion.” After saying that, Song Mai tried to break free from his grasp.
Chu Xing had never realized that married women with children would face such great difficulties in the workplace. He fell into deep thought and began to consider how to revise the company's rules and regulations.
"I need to go buy medicine," Song Mai said anxiously.
Although the two are already married, having children is a perfectly normal thing.
But she didn't want to get pregnant without being prepared, as that would be unfair to the child.
"Okay, you get some rest."
Chu Xing couldn't help but feel disappointed, wondering if Song Mai was a child who was resistant to the unknown, or if she was genuinely worried about her job.
No matter what it was, it made him feel down.
Messages kept coming in on his phone, all of them Liu Jia'er asking for his forgiveness.
Frustrated, he blocked her number, not wanting to see any more news about her.
The next morning, Chu Xing arrived at the company and saw Assistant Lu looking hesitant to speak.
"What guilty thing have you done this time?"
Assistant Lu chuckled awkwardly and said, "Master Yun, I think I misspoke just now."
Chu Xing narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice, "What did you say?"
"I already know that your marriage with Song Mai is a marriage of convenience. Otherwise, how could she not know your true identity? Haven't you ever considered that she might be faking it?"
