Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 425 - 423 Who Allowed You to Get Off the Car Now?
In the luxurious room of the yacht, Shangguan Yao lay on a golden European-style bed, drunk to the point of unconsciousness, muttering in his dream as he tossed and turned.
He released her hand, striding toward the edge of the large bed.
Jiayi came to her senses, reaching out to grab his arm, "Are you insane? If you offend the Shangguan Family, not only will today’s business suffer, but even Yundu might get dragged into this—don’t provoke him—"
Not provoke Shangguan Yao?
By the rules of etiquette and seniority, he and Shangguan Yao’s father, Shangguan Xiong, were of the same generation.
Once this kid sobered up, he’d even have to call him uncle.
The disdain shooting from Huo Zhenyang’s sharp eyes roamed over Shangguan Yao’s body, his gaze settling as he grabbed the wrist of the drunken Shangguan Yao.
Shangguan Yao, weakened and inebriated, was like a lump of dead flesh, allowing Huo Zhenyang to lift him. The fresh, red bite marks on his arm were evident, the delicate indentations clearly made by a woman’s teeth.
Indeed, the woman had been unwilling just moments ago.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have bitten him as a form of resistance.
Huo Zhenyang’s mood lightened slightly, though his eyes flickered with a shadow of ruthlessness, his long fingers loosening their grip.
Suddenly, Shangguan Yao was dropped onto the bed, his head striking the headboard with a thud, eliciting a pained howl as he clutched the back of his head, turning over on the bed.
Jiayi inhaled sharply, afraid that the pain would wake Shangguan Yao.
Huo Zhenyang was completely undisturbed, calmly taking her hand and starting to walk toward the exit.
Just before leaving the room, Jiayi glanced back at the writhing Shangguan Yao, hurriedly followed, and, holding the staircase railing, ascended to the deck.
Inside the cabin, amidst severe pain, Shangguan Yao struggled to prop himself up and sat up.
The room was empty apart from himself.
Motherfucker, is this a dream?
He felt the back of his head, found a large bump, and cursed, "Damn it."
He had been sleeping heavily, only to feel as if he had been thrown down, hitting a cliffside, a sharp pain in his head, followed by the sound of retreating footsteps.
Shangguan Yao exclaimed, "Someone—get someone here!"
The yacht’s servants, not wishing to disturb Shangguan Yao’s rest, were all outside the cabin. Hearing young master Yao’s call, they rushed over, "What’s wrong, young master Yao?"
"Who the hell was in my room just now? Shit—" Shangguan Yao rubbed the lump on the back of his head, grimacing in pain.
The servant replied, "Nobody—what happened, young master Yao—"
Could it really have been that he accidentally bumped into something while dreaming and turning over in his sleep?
Shangguan Yao cursed under his breath, considering himself unlucky, but the pain had cleared his head significantly, his eyes sharpening suddenly:
"Go and look for a young woman in a white dress on the yacht, about twenty years old. Please bring her to me!"
Xiaoyi—had she truly forgotten him, or was she avoiding him?
Back at Jinhua University when he was pursuing her, although she always kept her distance, so many years had passed since then.
Moreover, the last time he saw her at the girls’ dormitory, she seemed to have softened her attitude toward him, not as resistant as before.
What was Xiaoyi playing at?
Shangguan Yao momentarily forgot his pain, lost in thought.
It’s been almost five years, hasn’t it...
After that time in the girls’ dormitory, he had not seen her again.
Later on, she even dropped out of school.
Shangguan Yao had asked Liang Anya about her whereabouts, but Liang Anya refused to disclose anything.
He had also had someone investigate discreetly, but she could not be found anywhere in H City. All he knew was that she had left H City, and there had been no chance to see her since then.
He hadn’t expected that, after all these years, he would unexpectedly encounter her again at a yacht party hosted by his father.
Is she now in Yunling?
Meanwhile, the servant went to do as Young Master Yao had instructed.
After ten minutes, the servant rushed back to report, "Young Master Yao, I haven’t found the woman you mentioned."
"How is that possible!" Shangguan Yao sat up agitatedly, and the back of his head throbbed with pain, causing him to grimace and sit back down.
It didn’t matter, as long as she had been on this yacht today, as long as she was still in Yunling City, he would eventually find her.
——
On the shore of the harbor, the night was dark as ink, and the stars were fading.
Huo Zhenyang and Jiayi returned to the car.
Ade drove the car away from the yacht, started the engine, and gradually pulled away. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
The entire way, the two of them did not speak.
Inside the car, the air was as still as the thick clouds of the evening.
Jiayi was still a bit worried about whether Shangguan Yao would be alright; his earlier fall, his head striking the bed board just right, sounded painful even without being there.
Had this man really taken on sons from two wealthy families alone, with no fear for his life?
As for Young Master Liu, the Liu family company was considered a downstream partner in Yundu.
If Young Master Liu was unharmed, the Liu family would probably not pursue the matter too deeply. After all, men fighting and getting jealous over things outside was not such a big deal.
But Shangguan Yao was the only son of the Shangguan Family, a man unaware of the severity of his actions; did he not know he might draw the ire of the Shangguan Family?
However, Shangguan Yao had been so drunk that he probably hadn’t seen clearly who had injured him.
Jiayi could only comfort herself with this thought all the way back.
She was nervous the entire journey, but the man beside her didn’t seem the least bit tense from beginning to end; he just supported his handsome face with his arm, his deep eyes half-closed, thick lashes casting a shadow below.
What could he be thinking?
Finally, the car drove into the downtown area, slowing its pace.
Only then did Huo Zhenyang straighten up and lower the car window.
Looking at the Boss’s complexion in the rear-view mirror, Ade couldn’t help saying, "Boss, let me drive faster and get you back so Hui can make you some hangover soup."
The man grunted in reply and rolled up his sleeves slightly, revealing a strong and lustrous forearm that he rested on his knees, closing his deep-set eyes to rest.
It was only then that Jiayi noticed an abnormal flush on his handsome face.
Negotiating business on the yacht with Shangguan Xiong, he couldn’t avoid drinking.
So his silence the whole way was due to the discomfort from drinking?
Remembering the last time he came back to the villa drunk, and she was forced to stay and take care of him for most of the night, she felt somewhat nervous.
She always felt that nothing good happened whenever this man drank.
As the car was about to leave the busy downtown area and pick up speed, Jiayi finally spoke up, "Just drop me off here; I’ll take a taxi back."
Her task as his companion for the evening should end here.
Ade slowed down the car as instructed, but then he heard the man in the back seat speak up quietly: "Who gave you permission to leave now?"
Like a stone thrown into still lake water, instantly stirring up ripples, the waves spreading far and wide.
Jiayi’s hand touching the car door hesitated: "Hasn’t my task for today already ended?"
"Did I say it was over?" His tone was indifferent, yet laced with an indescribable defiance and arrogance.
With no other option, Jiayi said, "Then what else do I need to do?"
Earning a few thousand bucks isn’t easy! Does he have to bleed me dry before he’s satisfied?
Huo Zhenyang leisurely adjusted his finely gilded cuff and straightened his suit collar. Suddenly, he leaned toward her.
