Her soaked clothes had turned semi - transparent.
"I've said I don't need your help! Get out! Get out right now!" Blood oozed from the scratched skin. This kind of relief made Yan Xia feel strangely comfortable. She couldn't help but continue scratching the other exposed skin on her body, trying to find an outlet for her pent - up emotions.
"Peng Zixu, you know who I am. You also know what consequences you'll face if you lay a hand on me..."
She was so uncomfortable that she almost wanted to cry. Her consciousness had long drifted away, but she still managed to utter threats against Peng Zixu.
True to his word, Peng Zixu didn't touch her. Instead, he squatted down beside her and checked the time, as if in a stand - off with her.
As time ticked by, Yan Xia had completely lost consciousness. Relying solely on her instincts, she tugged at her clothes, constantly muttering about her discomfort and instinctively crying for help.
When he thought the time was right, Peng Zixu reached out and turned off the shower. He grabbed a bath towel, wrapped her in it, and with a strength that couldn't be resisted, he picked her up and carried her towards the room. He tossed her onto the spacious bed.
Away from the cold water, the burning sensation in Yan Xia's body grew stronger.
Peng Zixu stood by the bed and watched her. As he had described her before, she was now just like a rose lying on silk satin, incredibly alluring.
"Help... I feel so uncomfortable."
Yan Xia's hands tore at her own clothes, and the fine fabric was ripped to shreds.
"Do you know who I am? Are you sure you want me to save you?" Peng Zixu asked. Suddenly, he curled his lips into a mischievous smile. "Alright, then I'll grant your wish. I'm just saving you as you desire."
He suddenly grabbed her bare ankle and dragged her towards his crotch. One hand roamed along her body curves, and he pressed himself down on her.
Lu Qianzhou was frantically searching in the vast hotel corridor. Just downstairs at the front desk, when the waiter saw Lu Qianzhou and Fang Jiangyi, two big shots, he didn't hesitate to break the rules and gave them the room card, reporting the room number where Yan Xia was staying.
Before he could find the room, his phone rang.
He answered the call while still looking for the room. He had never been this eager in doing anything before.
"Mr. Lu, have you made up your mind?"
Lu Qianzhou's jawline tightened. "You should be clear in your mind that she is the last pawn you use to measure our relationship. If anything happens to her, this balance will be broken, and you won't be able to continue hiding behind the scenes unscrupulously. Calculating against her like this is not a smart choice."
"This is just a little warning for you. Maybe next time I won't be so kind. You should remember clearly what happened back then. Pray hard that the same thing won't happen a second time."
The person on the other end laughed cheerfully, giving an inexplicable illusion that he was watching their every move from behind. Finally, he said, "Fang Jiangyi."
Then he hung up the phone.
He was urging Lu Qianzhou to take action against Fang Jiangyi again!
"Boss, it's over here." The bodyguard reached out to lead the way, and Lu Qianzhou was able to find the correct room door.
Beep.
He swiped the room card, and the door opened.
Inside the room, Peng Zixu didn't really have the guts to do anything. He just wanted to take some advantage of the situation. After all, he was just following someone's order. Moreover, this was his own hotel. If anything happened to Cheng Yanxia here, he might not be able to get away with it.
Before he could even react, he was knocked to the ground by Lu Qianzhou's bodyguards. His arms were pinned behind his back, and someone stepped on his back, pressing on the arm pinned behind him.
Lu Qianzhou looked at Yan Xia writhing on the bed like a caterpillar and at her disheveled and revealing clothes. Anger welled up in his heart instantly. He quickly took off his coat and threw it over her, covering her precisely.
Peng Zixu knew that Lu Qianzhou would come, but he didn't expect him to come so soon. He was extremely frightened.
He began to feel lucky that he hadn't really had any evil thoughts and taken advantage of Cheng Yanxia.
After all, the downfall of the Peng family before was because Peng Shiyi had offended Cheng Yanxia. Now that he had finally achieved some success through his own efforts, if he lost everything because of Cheng Yanxia again, he would probably become the biggest joke in the circle.
Most importantly, no one would be willing to watch their own efforts go to waste.
So he quickly explained.
"Mr. Lu... Mr. Lu, this has nothing to do with me. I just received a call from a mysterious person saying that something had happened in my hotel and asked me to come here quickly. When I arrived, Miss Cheng was already like this. I didn't do anything to her. If you don't believe me, you can take her for a check - up..."
Lu Qianzhou didn't want to waste any more words with him.
"Get out!"
He would surely settle the score with Peng Zixu, but not now.
Peng Zixu was directly escorted out by two bodyguards. Fang Jiangyi at the door finally rushed over. He wanted to enter the room to check on Yan Xia's condition, but was blocked by Lu Qianzhou's bodyguards. He couldn't even catch a glimpse of the people inside.
"Get out of the way." He glared at them angrily.
The two bodyguards nodded at him. "Mr. Fang, we don't mean to make things difficult for you. Please don't make things difficult for us either."
Without Lu Qianzhou's order, they wouldn't let anyone in easily.
Inside the room, Lu Qianzhou had already noticed something was wrong with Yan Xia. She had already thrown off the coat covering her and continued to tear at her clothes. She kept scratching her arms, hoping to make the burning blood in her body flow faster.
Suddenly, both of her arms were held down and she couldn't move. Leaning against the soft quilt, she felt even more uncomfortable, as if on fire. It was as if there were thousands of insects crawling inside her body.
"Let go of me! Don't touch me! Get away!" Yan Xia moaned in pain. "Help... I feel so uncomfortable..."
She struggled desperately, trying to relieve this discomfort in her own way.
"If you don't want me to touch you, then who do you want to help you?" Lu Qianzhou's eyebrows were filled with a deep coldness. "Peng Zixu? Or Fang Jiangyi?"
Talking to an unconscious person, she wasn't angry, but he managed to get himself angry.
But the sight of her in such pain softened his heart completely. There was a part of his heart that hurt at the slightest touch.
"Lu Qianzhou..." She seemed to recognize him. She sobbed softly and pleaded for his help. "I feel so uncomfortable..."
A string in his mind snapped.
"It's okay." He quickly reached out and stripped off her wet clothes. He used his lips and tongue to comfort her. "You'll feel better soon. Be a good girl and listen to me."
His gentle consolation made it seem like they were back at the very beginning. Big tears welled up in Yan Xia's eyes and rolled down.
Her lips and tongue were forcefully sealed. She let his hot lips and tongue lead her in a passionate dance. Her body trembled for him.
Pressing against his slightly cool body, the burning pain finally began to subside. Instinctively, she wrapped her arms around his neck and responded to him.
The crazy desire swept over her completely. She couldn't think about anything else. Everything was out of instinct.
The heat in her body gradually faded away. She felt relieved but also extremely exhausted, as if her whole body had fallen apart. Without having time to think about anything, she was so tired that she completely lost consciousness.
