Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 138 - 136: Engagement Ring

Huo Zhenyang was hot all over. He still hadn’t completely sobered up from the alcohol, and the burning desire that two public relations girls had ignited just minutes before flared up fiercely again!

To think she was holding him in this posture.

Was this little thing trying to seduce him?

He suppressed the urge to devour her and silently moved closer to her charming and quiet cheek.

Under the influence of a slight buzz, his eyes were wickedly playful as he leaned in and kissed the contours of the little one’s red lips.

She breathed softly, completely unaware that he was taking liberties with her in her sleep.

It wasn’t until she seemed to sense something amiss and moved slightly that he left her sweet lips, sat up straight, gently placed the girl against the seat, and straightened his shirt that had become disheveled from the drunkenness, and casually picked up his suit jacket.

When he touched it, something felt off.

The engagement ring that was supposed to be in the left inner pocket was in the right one.

That is to say, she must have seen that engagement ring when she was looking for the sobering medicine.

The noise he made fumbling with his jacket finally woke Jiayi.

Her eyelashes fluttered, and as she opened her eyes, she saw him looking at her with a teasing gleam in his eyes and jumped back a few centimeters, her face flushing red.

She had finished giving him water, saw he was suffering from the alcohol, afraid he would throw up, and had been holding his head...

Why is it that she fell asleep just at this time instead of earlier or later?

"You’re awake? Then, then I’ll go back to school first," she stammered, eager to escape the awkwardness of the space as fast as possible.

With a pull, her wrist was drawn into the man’s warm embrace.

Her small head bumped against his firm chest, causing a twinge of pain. As she raised her head and rubbed it, she saw his eyes were incredibly deep, staring at her as if he had something to say.

Glancing at his suit jacket, he narrowed his deep-set eyes, and said with certainty, "You’ve touched my clothes."

Jiayi, feeling a bit guilty, blurted out, "Yeah, I looked for the sobering medicine. But I didn’t touch anything else..."

Didn’t touch anything else? She didn’t want to admit she saw that ring?

His brows furrowed deeper, yet he wanted to give her another chance, "Really didn’t touch anything else?"

"No..." The little one still clenched her teeth, pretending she had never seen that ring that symbolized their past.

The tenderness and warmth of just a moment ago vanished in an instant, and a few traces of coldness filled Huo Zhenyang’s eyes!

This little thing still had no intention of coming back to him!

She had clearly seen the engagement ring he carried with him, the one she had abandoned, knew his heart, yet gave him no response!

If she had just said she saw the engagement ring, his mood wouldn’t be this bad!

She acted as if she hadn’t seen it, assuming an indifferent attitude.

Perhaps, the time they had spent together in G City was a period she desperately wanted to avoid.

In her eyes, he really meant nothing.

His lips curved into a faint chill, and he again became the aloof king, raising his voice, "Zixun! Drive!"

Jiayi was taken aback. "Where are we going?"

Huo Zhenyang raised a finger, lifting her pure and white face, his voice emotionless, "Baby, don’t forget, there are still five tasks left in the contract."

The man may have been cooing the word ’baby’ repeatedly, but he seemed like a bloodthirsty beast ready to devour the little one before him.

The irritation from the public relations girls at the East Court feast hadn’t completely subsided, and now it was even more inflamed by the rage this little one had provoked!

She froze, realizing that perhaps she shouldn’t have sobered him up. Just now, she had even been worried he might drink himself to death, and yet wasn’t this her just reaping what she sowed?

Jiayi faltered, "I... I need to study for my exams, they’re coming up. Is next time okay?"

He sneered and, without any hesitation, said, "Drive now."

At the same time, Lin Zixun got into the car, started the engine, and left Jinhua University behind.

————

At dawn.

Jiayi was returned to school by Lin Zixun.

With the cover of the security guard uncle, Jiayi entered the school stealthily, carefully yet successfully made it into the dormitory building, and then back to her room.

The man took her to his long-term suite at the Century Grand Hotel again.

After a night of wild passion, she was once again "disassembled" by that man.

She held her breath, and the moment she quietly closed the door, a wave of soreness hit her, her legs went weak, and had she not clung to the doorframe, she would have fallen.

When the security guard uncle had escorted her in just now, the way he looked at her made her aware, even without a mirror, that her body was covered with marks left by him.

After it was over, she was afraid that Su Yan would wake up and not see her, so she crawled up from his side, wanting to return to school.

Luckily, the man wasn’t too unreasonable, and didn’t say much, merely had Lin Zixun take her back.

She rubbed her slender arms that he had ravaged for most of the night, covered with a patchwork of bite marks, each touch making her wince and sharply inhale from the pain.

But it was also a good thing.

The number of tasks on the contract had decreased by one, hadn’t it?

She let out a small breath, glanced at Su Yan who was still deeply asleep, oblivious to everything, and then at the break of dawn outside the window, before stepping into the bathroom to wash away the marks of the night.

——————————————

As the weekend approached, right after the European Aesthetics class in the morning, Jiayi left the classroom as if she were fleeing.

Attending that man’s class felt like being in prison.

Unfortunately, she could skip any class but his.

Otherwise, she didn’t know what means he would use to "punish" her the next time they met.

A familiar male voice drifted over, and someone called her name.

It was Jiang Pinhao.

"Mr. Jiang." In school, Jiayi still politely addressed him as teacher, and went to meet him.

Jiang Pinhao came over and asked in a low voice, "Huo Zhenyang has come to Jin University as a guest professor, and it just so happens he’s teaching your class, Class Three. How are you coping?"

He obviously knew Huo Zhenyang had come for her and that Jiayi was avoiding Huo Zhenyang, worried that something might happen.

Jiayi thought of the night he had called her out of the school and taken her to the hotel, her chest heaved involuntarily, her cheeks flushed slightly, but she clutched her books, took a deep breath, and said, "I’m fine."

Indeed, for the time being, she was fine.

Ever since that night, Huo Zhenyang had been quiet for a few days.

Though he still came to Jin University occasionally to fulfill his duties as a guest professor and teach a few classes, he hadn’t asked her to complete any more "tasks."

Jiang Pinhao paused for a moment, as if he had something more to say but didn’t know how to start.

Jiayi was curious, as it was unlike him to have a hard time expressing himself: "What’s wrong?"

Jiang Pinhao pulled her aside to a corner, cleared his throat lightly, and ventured cautiously, "Anya has been looking for you these past few days, hasn’t she?"

She shook her head: "No, I haven’t really seen Anya lately. With end-of-term exams coming up, Su Yan and I head straight to the study room after class every day."

Jiang Pinhao sighed in relief.

Jiayi suddenly understood and let out a chuckle: "Are you avoiding her?"
