194: 194 Stockholm 194: 194 Stockholm The bright and expansive underground parking lot saw Jiang Chen standing next to the Aston Martin, his back turned, looking every bit the bodyguard.
About a minute later.
The car door opened.
Shi Qianxi, who had stepped out of the car, had already taken off her tattered stockings, revealing her smooth and shapely legs.
Although she still looked sowhat disheveled, she was at least no longer so conspicuous.
“Miss Shi, I’m leaving now.”
Jiang Chen just wanted to get away as soon as possible.
The deeper the contact, the more he realized this woman’s “uniqueness.” Let Sun Xiyu, that young master, suffer the headache.
“Aren’t you going to take up?”
Shi Qianxi asked quickly.
“…”
Jiang Chen was rendered speechless before replying helplessly, “The elevator is right there.”
“But, I’m scared.”
Scared?
This is a five-star hotel!
Are you still afraid soone will mistreat you here?!
Jiang Chen wanted to say sothing but stopped himself yet, looking at the pitiable woman, he eventually sighed.
“Let’s go.”
See things through to the end.
Since he was already here.
Taking her upstairs wouldn’t take much ti.
Shi Qianxi followed behind him like a docile bird.
They both entered the elevator.
“Which floor?”
“Huh?”
“What floor do you live on?”
“The nineteenth floor.”
Jiang Chen expressionlessly pressed the button for the nineteenth floor.
The international hotel really was different; the hallways were carpeted with genuine silk and the air was filled with a refreshing fragrance.
Jiang Chen escorted the heiress to her room door.
“I have a dical kit in my room, it has antiseptic; let help you treat your wound?”
Shi Qianxi took out her room card and then turned around.
Jiang Chen was completely flabbergasted.
He couldn’t help but start to wonder whether tonight he had played a part in a kidnapping or in a hero saving a damsel.
“No need.”
“But, your injury really needs attention, otherwise it could get infected.”
Shi Qianxi was very anxious.
Even if it really got infected, that would be his own problem.
Shouldn’t you as the victim be cursing him not to die a good death?
That’s your true nature, isn’t it?!
“Really, it’s nothing.
Go rest early.”
Jiang Chen acutely sensed sothing was wrong and instinctively wanted to leave quickly, but Shi Qianxi suddenly reached out and grabbed him.
“It won’t take long…”
“Let go…”
Jiang Chen was just about to pull her hand away when several guests passed by in the hallway.
In a public place, especially in the middle of the night, what sort of behavior would pulling and tugging be?
But Shi Qianxi clearly didn’t care about others’ opinions and showed no intention of letting go.
Seeing the guests starting to take notice, Jiang Chen stepped back and lowered his voice, “Fine, let go of ; I’ll go in with you.”
As if she were afraid he would run off, Shi Qianxi didn’t comply this ti and, with one hand holding on to him, she used the other to open the door.
After giving a stiff smile to the passing guests, Jiang Chen had no choice but to follow her in.
“Bang.”
The door closed.
This was a suite.
With an inner and an outer room.
Even a separate desk for computer work.
Although it wasn’t as luxurious as the presidential suite, it was still opulent.
“Take a seat.”
Having Jiang Chen sit on the leather couch, Shi Qianxi quickly went into the bedroom and soon ca back with a dical kit.
Typically high-end hotels are equipped with these for ergencies, to handle accidents.
Shi Qianxi probably had never used it before; she fumbled around clumsily, nearly tipping the whole box over, before finally finding antiseptic and cotton swabs.
Then she walked over to Jiang Chen, appearing ready to personally help apply the dication.
Jiang Chen, feeling honored yet stunned, dared not enjoy the services of the heiress and quickly took them from her.
“I’ll do it myself.”
Before deciding to execute this plan, Jiang Chen had envisaged various possibilities, but he probably hadn’t anticipated the current situation.
Who has ever seen a victim care so attentively for their aggressor?
Although turning an enemy into a friend was a beautiful vision in Jiang Chen’s mind, at this mont, looking at Shi Qianxi’s concerned eyes made him feel uneasy.
He rolled up his sleeves, hastily applied so dicine, and then put things down.
“Miss Shi, it’s getting late, I won’t disturb your rest any longer.”
“Where are you going?”
Jiang Chen didn’t respond and stood up intending to leave.
“It’s so late, you probably won’t be able to get back to your dorm, right?”
Shi Qianxi called out.
Indeed.
It was nearly dawn, he definitely couldn’t return to the school, but where he went was none of your business.
“Miss Shi, you should rest early.”
Jiang Chen walked towards the door.
But Shi Qianxi suddenly ran in front of him, blocking the door.
“What are you doing?”
Jiang Chen was taken aback.
“I’m scared.”
“…”
Miss.
Can’t you change your lines?
“This is the Hilton Hotel, security asures are very tight; here, no one will harm you.”
“But I have nightmares.”
Shi Qianxi said cautiously, “Can you, just stay here and keep company?”
“No!”
Jiang Chen, without hesitation, flatly refused.
“Miss Shi, don’t forget, you are soone else’s fiancée, having another man stay the night…”
“No one will know.”
Jiang Chen hadn’t finished speaking when he was interrupted.
“Trust , it’s alright.”
“No.”
Jiang Chen said this, moving to pull Shi Qianxi away.
He had no intention of indulging this rich heiress in her nonsense.
In terms of strength, the pampered Shi Qianxi was surely no match for him, but unexpectedly, she held onto his waist tightly, her hands clasped together.
“Let go!”
Jiang Chen demanded sternly.
“If you stay, just for one night, I won’t bother you again, including about that cheap, that girl…”
This woman.
She has really gone mad!
Jiang Chen had never expected her to behave this way—in the dead of night, a single man and a woman alone, if seen by others, he might not be able to clear his na even if he jumped into the Yellow River!
But if he continued to use force, he would most likely injure her.
“You let go first.”
“No, if I let go, you’ll run away.”
“…”
“I’m serious, just stay, and I won’t hold the past against you, and I will pretend tonight never happened.”
Shi Qianxi’s head rested against his back, her tone almost a whisper.
The door was only a few inches away, but Jiang Chen was trapped in her embrace, unable to move.
At this mont, he suddenly realized a very serious problem,
this top-tier heiress of East Sea might not be ntally disordered, but might have triggered a very rare condition.
Stockholm syndro!
He had once co across this ntal illness online, also known as hostage syndro, describing a phenonon where victims develop affection, dependency, and even go so far as to help their captors.
At the ti, he found it fascinating, but this description of the illness was so similar to Shi Qianxi’s abnormal behaviors—wasn’t it?
Jiang Chen’s emotions surged as he thought more about it, the more it seed to fit.
Damn it.
If it were true that he had induced Shi Qianxi to develop Stockholm syndro, it would be even more troubleso than their previous issues!
“I won’t leave, but you must let go of your hands.”
Jiang Chen took a deep breath.
