Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 424 - 422: If She Explains, He Would Believe
The stifling masculine heat rushed towards her.
Jiayi held her breath, knowing who it was without even looking.
As expected, when she looked up, the sullen handsome face set against the backdrop of the deep sea had already blended into the darkness of the night.
"What were you just doing?"
Huo Zhenyang trapped her between himself and the yacht’s railings, leaning down and questioning with a heavy gaze.
The tall and handsome man leaned against the railing, encircling the petite and lovely little woman,
To onlookers, this seemed like a man whispering intimately with his female companion, unaware that a severe interrogation was underway.
"I... didn’t do anything. I was just making a call to Zaizai, I told Ade," she said, feeling inexplicably guilty under his sharp gaze.
But why should she feel guilty? She hadn’t done anything wrong by him!
"Really?"
Huo Zhenyang forcefully lifted her flushed cheek—the result of running away from Shangguan—sparing no effort with his fingers.
He had clearly seen her running up from the cabin, followed by Shangguan Yao a few seconds later.
The two looked as if they had just done something indecent.
Only when the little woman couldn’t bear the pain and whimpered did he slightly relax his fingertips but didn’t let go, his eyes brimming with a cold sneer as he looked down her dress.
She paused, and following the direction of his gaze, looked down.
Perhaps due to running too hastily, the hem of her dress had flipped up at the corner, nearly revealing too much just one centimeter higher.
Her hair was in utter disarray.
There were traces on her delicate white wrist where Shangguan Yao had grabbed her.
At that moment, Ade ran over.
He glanced at her and then turned to Ade, "How is it?"
"Young Master Shangguan had too much to drink, took a fall, and was helped into a room," Ade replied.
Huo Zhenyang’s eyes suddenly sharpened, "You go wait downstairs on the yacht."
Seeing the tense atmosphere between the two, Ade didn’t dare to ask anything more and left.
Before Jiayi could explain, Huo Zhenyang’s tone was tinged with sarcasm, "What’s going on?"
He’s asking her what’s going on?
She didn’t even know what happened herself; how could she anticipate a drunken fool would cling to her and not let go?
That drunk had mistaken her for someone else, how was that her fault?
She hesitated for just a few seconds, but his gaze had already darkened, and his tone became even colder and more incisive, "Young Master Liu didn’t make a pass at you, so now you’re trying to latch onto Shangguan Yao, is that it?"
She snapped back to reality, "I didn’t even know who he was before this!"
The man, blinded by anger, wasn’t listening at all, his voice low and raspy with hostility, "I brought you to the yacht to be my companion for the party, not to run off and flirt with Shangguan Yao like those other women. Do you think my money is that easy to earn? Or are you using me to get on the yacht and find a rich man? To find a cheap stepdad for your son?"
"I did nothing of the sort!" she felt utterly humiliated, biting her tender lip, flames of fury sparking in her eyes as she glared at him!
Unable to retaliate in any other way, she could only kill him with her gaze!
Yet, to Huo Zhenyang, such a look appeared seductive, full of allure!
She must have looked at Shangguan Yao in the same way, right?
If so, no man could withstand it, especially a drunk one.
He didn’t know where his anger came from, his eyes flashing with fury—not just at her, but also with some inexplicable irritation at himself.
What was he doing? She was just a maid he picked up temporarily to replace Tracy, to accompany him on the yacht!
Is it really necessary to get so angry with her?
But he just couldn’t control himself, seeing this little woman getting close to other men, whether willingly or by force, it really upset him!
It made him feel betrayed!
"Nothing?" he firmly grasped the delicate wrist of the little woman, pulled it upward without any gentleness, and placed the bruise on her wrist right under her eyelids, "How did this happen?"
His palm slid down without any care and flipped the, already distressed and uneven hem of her dress upward another two centimeters, "And what about this?"
How could anyone not think more of a young woman, still fairly attractive, leaving the side of a notorious playboy in such disarray and with her clothes in such dishevelment?
She held back her anger and embarrassment, hurriedly blocked his hand, and pulled her dress back down.
But the man had no intention of sparing her, he continued to advance, grabbed her collar, and pulled her towards him, looking at her intently,
"Still not confessing?"
The unpleasant breathing, hot and cold, heavily invaded her.
Her heart was pounding fiercely, that familiar yet resistant feeling swirling in her mind, in the instant when they were close together, she once again lost the ability to resist...
Oh my god! What was she doing!
This man was humiliating her like this, shouldn’t she be slapping him across the face, pushing him away, running off by now!
At the very least, she should berate him, keep her distance from him, right!
Why, when facing his interrogation and questioning, did she feel like a cat that had lost all its bone strength, and moreover, feel like a wife caught in an affair by her husband?!
She must be crazy!
Under the torment of embarrassment and complex emotions, the little woman’s originally pale cheeks were burning red.
The sea breeze at night was slightly cool, the trembling body wrapped in a white dress shivered, her fists clenched tightly, the delicate joints turning a flushed red.
In this way, she resembled a broken-winged butterfly hurt by the sea breeze.
His eyes narrowed, thinking that she seduced Shangguan Yao with this very look, and the unexplained irritability within him surged even more intensely!
"Even a single mother dreams of marrying into a rich family? Even if you managed to hook Shangguan Yao, do you think the Shangguan Family would accept a daughter-in-law like you, dragging along a child? You might have a slight chance if you send that brat to the orphanage, erase your history, and deny to death you have a son," he mocked mercilessly.
Upon hearing her son’s name, Jiayi finally pulled her willpower back together!
Zaizai was her Achilles’ heel, a sacred territory no one could touch.
It was bad enough for this man to insult her without reason, but to bring Zaizai into it made him no hero!
Jiayi yanked her hand from his grip, stepping back a few paces, her beautiful eyes ablaze, "I thought the deck was too noisy, so I went down to the cabin to make a call. That man mistook me for someone else, and he was drunk, that’s why he wouldn’t let go."
In an instant, the fire in his eyes died down considerably.
Perhaps from the very beginning, all he wanted was an explanation from her.
Though he found it ludicrous, still,—if she were to explain, he would believe her.
A few seconds of silence.
His gaze flickered, "Are you saying Shangguan Yao caused trouble?"
She turned her head away, too lazy to acknowledge him, yet she felt her wrist being seized by him as he pulled her forward.
"What are you doing—where are you taking me—" she cried out in surprise, yet found herself involuntarily following him into the yacht’s cabin.
He dragged her by the hand, with a demeanor as frosty as ever, and headed straight for Shangguan Yao’s room, kicking the door open with a bang.
Jiayi was startled, "Have you lost your mind, he’s the Shangguan family’s young master—"
He, however, grabbed her hand and strode into the room.
