Eight o’clock in the morning.
After dropping Nanrong Wanqing off at Hongyu Group, Ling Chen usually heads back to the security departnt’s office.
But at this mont, the ringtone of his cellphone suddenly blares. Checking the caller ID, he wonders, What does this girl want with ?
Answering the call, he says "Hello," and then asks, "Lady Su, is there sothing you need?"
"Where are you?" Su Lin’s voice cos through, sounding congested as if her nose is blocked, lazy and listless.
"Have you caught a cold?"
"Ah, stop asking so many questions. I’m at ho; co pick up quickly." With that, Su Lin hangs up the phone.
This woman... Considering she’s sick, I won’t hold it against her. Ling Chen informs Nanrong Wanqing and then drives his muscle car back to Wealthy Manor.
Arriving at the villa, Ling Chen goes straight upstairs to Su Lin’s bedroom door and knocks softly.
"Co in, the door’s unlocked."
Ling Chen pushes the door open, steps into the room, and is hit with a wave of intoxicating fragrance. This is his first ti entering Su Lin’s bedroom, and as he takes in the decor, he can’t help but chuckle.
The room is dominated by pink hues, from the wall paint to the wardrobe bed sheets, including all the room’s light fixtures, every detail screams pink. They say every girl harbors a princess dream, and this one’s no exception. It’s just that, at twenty-sothing years old, to keep such pure fantasies is indeed rare.
Taking a brief look around, he turns his gaze to the bed where he sees Su Lin lying under the covers, wrapped up so only the area above her nose is visible. On the carpet beside the bed, there are nurous crumpled tissues. However, Ling Chen’s attention is swiftly drawn to sothing else.
On the carpet, pink, black lace, white—the floor is littered with various styles of sexy bras and underwear carelessly tossed aside.
Tsk-tsk!
This girl doesn’t care at all for her privacy, way too casual. Can these kinds of intimate garnts just be thrown around?
Shaking off his wandering thoughts, he approaches the bed with concern, reaches out to touch Su Lin’s forehead, and imdiately feels alard. It’s burning up; this girl is seriously ill.
"Lady Su, you have a high fever. I should take you to the hospital."
"No hospital." Su Lin’s muffled voice coms from within the covers.
"How can you not? You are so sick," Ling Chen exclaims speechlessly. She called him back here, and he thought she wanted him to take her to the hospital.
Extending a fair arm from under the covers, Su Lin casually grabs a tissue, blows her nose, and says, "Just drive to school later."
"School?" Ling Chen is taken aback. He nearly forgot it’s Monday. But she’s this sick, how can she go to school? Besides, he’s never noticed her being particularly eager to study.
With that in mind, he tries to persuade her earnestly, "Lady Su, you are seriously ill, you should quickly see a doctor. Don’t let it get worse."
Su Lin exclaims impatiently, "Why so many words? If I ask you to drive, you drive. Don’t forget what you promised , you can’t refuse my requests."
"Alright, alright, you win," Ling Chen concedes with a helpless shake of his head. This girl is bringing up the incident when he took advantage of her, and he really has no way out.
"You wait outside for a bit, I’m going to take a shower and change clothes before coming out."
After Su Lin spoke, Ling Chen turned around, walked out of the bedroom, and sat in the living room to wait for her to co out.
However, just after sitting down for a little while, he heard a ’thud’ from the floor above, as if sothing had fallen onto the ground.
Ling Chen, feeling uneasy, approached the bedroom and knocked, saying: "Lady Su, are you alright?"
After calling out several tis and getting no response from inside the room, Ling Chen was startled, could sothing have gone wrong? Thinking this, he quickly pushed the door open and entered. The bed was empty, with nobody in the master bedroom; there was the sound of rushing water coming from the bathroom.
He glanced inside, noting that the bathroom door was half-open. He called out Su Lin’s na a couple of tis, but received no answer from within. Could she have fainted?
Unfortunately, Nanny Wang was not there; she had gone out to buy groceries, otherwise, he could have asked her to take a look. After all, it was Su Lin’s private bathroom, and it would be quite problematic for him if he barged in and saw sothing not suitable for children.
But he couldn’t ignore Su Lin’s safety either. Hesitating for a mont, he gritted his teeth, deciding he couldn’t care about that now.
Without delay, he pushed the door to the bathroom open and right away, his expression changed drastically.
Su Lin was lying naked in a bathtub filled with water, with a bruise on her forehead and a cut; she had lost consciousness, and there was even a sar of blood on the wall beside her. Evidently, Su Lin had hit her forehead and fainted. At this mont, the water in the bathtub had already gone over her head, subrging her body, and was spilling out bit by bit.
This is bad!
Ling Chen’s heart raced with fear, unable to think any further. He hurriedly lifted her delicate body out of the bathtub and quickly carried her back to the bedroom.
"Su Lin, Su Lin..." He patted Su Lin’s cheeks, trying to wake her up, but there was no reaction, and he even couldn’t feel her breathing.
She couldn’t possibly have drowned, could she?
Drowning in one’s own bathtub, such a story, if it gets out, would hardly be believed by anyone.
But the reality was right before his eyes, and Ling Chen had no choice but to believe it.
"This is to save your life, so don’t bla for taking advantage of you."
He muttered to himself, then he pinched Su Lin’s mouth, bent down, and kissed her cold, red lips, blowing air into her body. Subsequently, he placed his hands on Su Lin’s full chest and gently pressed down.
After several rounds of artificial respiration, Su Lin suddenly raised her head and expelled a mouthful of water, coughing violently.
Seeing she had finally regained consciousness, Ling Chen inwardly heaved a sigh of relief. It was a good thing he discovered the situation in ti; otherwise, this girl would have died. To drown in her own bathtub, had he not witnessed it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed it.
After a while, Su Lin caught her breath and then realized she was lying on the bed with no clothes on, with Ling Chen standing by her side. In shock and anger, she quickly grabbed the quilt to cover her exposed body, looking at Ling Chen with sha and indignation, "What... what have you done to ?"
Ling Chen shrugged, "What needed to be done is done, and what shouldn’t have been done, is also done."
"What?" Su Lin’s pretty face turned pale, "You..."
Seeing her bewildered look, Ling Chen didn’t have the heart to joke with her any longer, he quickly said: "Alright, alright, I won’t tease you anymore, I didn’t do anything. You should be thanking ; if it wasn’t for my tily arrival, your life would have been gone."
Su Lin looked at him half-believingly: "You really didn’t do anything?"
Ling Chen was at a loss for words, not caring about the danger she just faced; instead, she worried about whether her advantage was taken. He couldn’t understand what was going on in this girl’s mind. Did to won, their purity really rank above their life?
