Chapter 103: It Wasn’t Teasing, but Seduction

Song Wei had no idea what happened after that either. She fainted not long after Jiang Mingxu picked her up in his arms.

She had been resisting the effects of the drug all along, causing her energy to be completely exhausted.

She had a very long nightmare. In her dream, she returned to that prison. Her cellmates grabbed her hair and pressed her into the sink. She felt an unprecedented kind of suffocation.

Later, Jiang Mingxu appeared, but he only looked at her coldly from the side.

She shouted for him, “Jiang Mingxu! Save me!”

However, he only replied with an indifferent expression, “Why should I save you?”

“…” Song Wei was stunned.

In an instant, she was pulled into a black, bottomless vortex.

A voice kept echoing crazily in her head, questioning her. Why did he marry you? You don’t possess the benefits he wants at all.

You know it, and you suspect it, too. Why are you afraid to face it now?

Because you are afraid of the answer. You are afraid that it is really only because you look like Fang Can that he treated you so well.

You’re already afraid of losing him, aren’t you?

Song Wei struggled to wake up from her nightmare and realized that the sky was still dark. It was still late at night.

She had already returned to the Jiang residence and was lying on the bed in her room. The familiar smell in the air made her entire body relax gradually.

However, the nightmare just now still cast a shadow over her heart.

She wanted to get up and go to the kitchen to pour herself a glass of water.

However, when she lifted the mosquito net open, she found Jiang Mingxu sitting in front of her desk, reading under the light of the table lamp.

His shadow was elongated by the light, and the warm yellow light covered him with a hazy halo. It weakened the iciness on his body and revealed gentleness instead.

Clearly, it was already so late, but he did not seem tired at all. He was even absorbed in his reading.

She simply couldn’t imagine him shooting that lecherous man through the shoulder a few hours ago with a gun.

Then, he even brought some people over to drive a bulldozer and raze the Zhou family’s fortress to the ground.

Song Wei stopped in her tracks. She didn’t know if she should disturb him. After thinking about it, she ended up tiptoeing towards the door by herself.

However, Jiang Mingxu had already sensed her and looked up from his book. “You are awake?”

Song Wei nodded. “Mhm… Were you afraid that I wouldn’t wake up?”

Jiang Mingxu put down the book and walked towards her. “You kept having nightmares.”

“…” Song Wei laughed awkwardly and tried to gloss over it. “Maybe it’s an effect of that drug. I dreamed of some bad stuff. My head is still hurting now.”

Song Wei pretended to be indifferent.

However, Jiang Mingxu suddenly reached out and placed the back of his hand on her forehead. “Your body temperature has returned to normal.”

Song Wei subconsciously dodged and reached out to touch her own forehead. “I was even running a fever? Miss Zhou’s drug is really powerful…”

Jiang Mingxu explained lightly without much expression, “The drug that Zhou Huiqian gave you has an aphrodisiac effect, so it will make your body heat up.”

“…!” Song Wei was stunned for a moment. “I didn’t do anything out of line on our way back, did I?”

“You did.” Jiang Mingxu’s answer was decisive. Then, he asked again, “Otherwise, why do you think I am sitting here?”

“…” Song Wei slapped herself on the head. She really couldn’t remember anything! Her cheeks gradually flushed on her face. “I… teased you again?”

“…” Jiang Mingxu raised his hand and grasped onto her chin. He looked into her eyes and corrected her. “Not teasing. Seducing.”

Song Wei took a step back in guilt. Her legs were already touching the edge of the bed. There was nowhere else she could retreat to. “I don’t remember anything at all. If I did something to you, it was completely the drug’s fault!”

Jiang Mingxu paused in his movements, and that rare gentleness in his eyes dissipated a little as well. “Are you afraid of me?”

Because of his gaze, Song Wei was forced to sit down on the bed, but she still planted a smile on her face. “Young Master Jiang, you’re thinking too much. You rushed to that place to save me. I can’t even offer you enough gratitude, so how could I be afraid of you? But the scenes I saw at the Heavenly Banquet today really make me want to puke. I’m not in the mood to think about anything else for the time being, so… can you keep a distance?”

Jiang Mingxu stared into Song Wei’s eyes as if he was trying to determine if she was telling the truth.

In the end, he only calmly retracted his gaze and said, “Be more careful when you do things in the future. You dare to provoke the Zhou family just with Song Xiaocao’s identity? Do you really want to die?”

“How would I know that Zhou Huiqian is so perverted…?” Song Wei stuck her tongue out a little guiltily.

“When you found out later, why didn’t you reveal your identity?”

Song Wei subconsciously blurted out, “Then, wouldn’t I have lost?”

Jiang Mingxu went silent for a moment.

After a while, he asked her, “Do you really want to beat me that badly?”
