Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 166 - 164: Why Bother Going Back to Muddy the Waters
Jiayi struggled to contain her pounding heart, "Since you came to H City just to take me with you, having already made that decision, why would you harm the Liang Family? And why did you sign a contract with me? It’s such a big detour."
With his power and temperament, even if he had grabbed her right from the start, what chance would she have had to resist?
So, does her current attitude mean she’s rejecting him, or is she unwilling to go back with him?
The man gave a silent chuckle, his lazy cunning pausing at his lips as he declared without a hint of disguise, "What’s the use if only the person follows me back?
He wanted her body as well as her heart. Both were indispensable.
He sought perfection in everything he did, and this was even more evident in the way he treated her.
The person he set his sights on, no matter how much time and energy it cost, didn’t matter.
Going in circles? What did it matter even if it were ten circles?
Jiayi locked eyes with the man, "Go back with you? Never leave you? Have you discussed this with the old man? Mu Qingran and her child, have you arranged for them, too? You speak so lightly now, but if those matters aren’t resolved, going back with you would be nothing but self-humiliation, a slap to my own face."
Ever since their reunion in H City, she had never brought up this sensitive issue, but now she threw it out like a bolt from the blue, laying the reality bare on the table!
Should he first deal with those people and those matters at home? He simply couldn’t wait.
The moment he received her letter and found out she was in H City, he had been single-mindedly fixated on heading north.
Huo Zhenyang seized her slender wrist, his gaze burning and his tone very impatient, as if those people meant nothing to him, "What do those people matter?"
His gaze was deep, as dark and bottomless as a deep pool.
She feared that one more look at him would cause her to drown in his eyes, unable to resist agreeing to his demands.
This contract had gradually made her body dependent on him. That morning, Lin Zixun’s words had caused her heart to fluctuate intensely as well.
She feared that if she faced him even a second longer, she would lose all restraint and return with him to G City!
But she couldn’t.
She had a new life now, new friends, new classmates, and even new family members. Wasn’t she doing very well?
Why bother muddying the waters with the Huo Family again?
She turned her small head away, biting her lip, subconsciously trying to dodge the issue.
The door to the hospital room was right there; she could easily leave, but she couldn’t.
The contract with the Liang Family was not yet finished, and now there was a new addition—Su Yan’s surgery expenses.
She could not afford to give this man the cold shoulder, nor could she run away.
All she could do was shrink back and whisper, "I want to take a bath. Can we talk about this later, please?"
Take a bath? She’s going to take a bath at this time?
He had known she would avoid the issue. His expression darkened slightly as he stretched out his arms and sat down on the sofa.
Let’s see how long she could take a bath.
Jiayi entered the bathroom, leaned against the door, and let out a sigh of relief. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
In the bathroom, she washed her face with cold water, then ran a hot bath, picked up the IPOD that was always in the bathroom, put it on, and stepped into the bathtub.
Soaking in the bath, listening to music, Jiayi calmed down a lot; the warm water tranquilized her emotions, and she couldn’t help but extend her calves, resting them on the edge of the tub, closing her eyes, and dozing off.
Outside the bathroom, there was no knowing someone was already anxious with waiting.
Hearing the faint sound of water, someone was becoming restless.
Through the mist, the bathroom door opened with a clang as someone strode in.
Jiayi, with earbuds still in and comfortably soaking, hadn’t noticed any outside noise; she was even gently swaying to the rhythm of the music.
Unbeknownst to her, Huo Zhenyang stood at the door with a stern face, watching her ominously.
"Damn it, I’ve been waiting outside for her to discuss her return to G City, and this little girl is leisurely leaving me hanging, actually taking a bath!"
At this moment, the little figure was submerged in the tub, nodding her head and appearing quite at ease!
A cold smile played upon his lips and with a thought, he lifted his hand and began to unbutton his shirt. Then, with a smooth motion, he started to unbuckle his belt, and finally, with a kick, he slammed the door shut with a loud "bang!"
The sound was so fierce that Jiayi was startled. It was then that she realized someone had come in. She sprang up from the bathtub like a carp leaping out of water, sitting upright!
Seeing the man in front of her, she was so shocked she even forgot to cover her body. The man was stripped down to just a set of bullet briefs, standing in front of her, approaching the bathtub step by step.
As the distance closed, her vision of him became clearer, and her heart thumped violently.
A tall and straight figure with well-defined and robust six-pack abs, bronzed and masculine, shone with a chocolate sheen on his beautiful skin.
Only when he was nearly upon her did she panic and grab a towel, holding it in front of her body. "What are you doing here?"
"Have you made up your mind?" The man’s voice was magnetic and seductive.
Jiayi swallowed nervously, "Not yet, I still need to think. Please, step outside..."
"No worries. If you haven’t decided yet, let’s leave it and do something else," the man said shamelessly, his voice cooling, aware that she was still trying to dodge.
"Do something else? I’m taking a bath..."
"Together."
He was not the least bit embarrassed. Hah, did he expect her to ask him to leave after admiring him for so long? As if such good fortune would come her way!
To bathe together... Jiayi’s mind went blank, and it took her a while to realize he meant they should have a—what do they call it?—a little birdie bath!
Her throat went dry, wanting to say something, but she couldn’t find the words.
Not just a little birdie bath, but whatever was to happen in the bathtub, she would have to resign herself to his will, to be sliced and diced as he pleased, wouldn’t she?
With a "plop," someone had already entered the bathtub, splashing water all over her!
...
The morning sun beamed through the window, lighting up Jiayi, who had been awake for a while but couldn’t bring herself to get up.
Her body ached tremendously.
After last night’s little birdie bath for two, it logically led to his unrestrained taking.
The hospital bed had become the field of his vigorous plunder.
Resignedly, she glanced at the trash can beside the bed, containing five used condoms.
Five!
That man really... does he not know how to get tired?
Perhaps it was his first time since returning to H City, or maybe it was because she had dodged the talk of going back to G City last night, but he was more brutal than ever, almost as if he were on a mission to torment her to death.
As dawn broke, the man who had vented his extraordinary energy didn’t say a word, went to the bathroom for a shower, dressed, and left.
The sun climbed higher.
If she didn’t get up soon, even the nurses might snicker in secret.
Enduring the pain, Jiayi climbed up, her entire body aching and still carrying his scent.
With a bitter smile, she entered the bathroom, intending to wash away the sweat and scent of passion from the night.
