The warm water flowed over Gu Qianxian's skin, yet it could not wash away the dust settled in her heart.
She slowly sank into the water, allowing the waves to engulf her head, as if this could isolate her from the clamor of the world.
But the heaviness in her chest only grew more oppressive, making it hard for her to breathe.
She was a courtesan, selling her talents but not her body. Yet who could guarantee that Bawd wouldn’t push her into the fire for the sake of silver?
At this thought, a wave of bitterness surged in Gu Qianxian's eyes, and a few silent tears merged into the water, disappearing without a trace.
...
On the long street, several swift horses galloped past, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Xiao Yaohan, dressed in a dark brocade robe, looked like a painting with his striking features, yet there was an air of coldness that kept others at bay.
"Whoa—"
Suddenly, the horse was startled, letting out a cry as it threw Xiao Yaohan to the ground.
"Your Highness!"
The accompanying guards were alarmed and rushed forward.
Xiao Yaohan felt dizzy, and an unsettling heat surged from his lower abdomen, quickly spreading through his limbs.
He inwardly cursed; this was a sign he had been poisoned with an aphrodisiac!
"Protect His Highness!"
The guards drew their swords, shielding Xiao Yaohan behind them.
In the darkness, a group of men in black silently appeared, surrounding them completely.
The leader wore a veil that concealed most of his face, revealing only a pair of sinister eyes.
“Xiao Yaohan, tonight, you cannot escape!”
Zhang Luoyi's voice was deep and resonant, yet laced with a hint of cruelty.
Xiao Yaohan gritted his teeth, suppressing the discomfort within him, and coldly stared at her.
“How dare you drug me?”
Zhang Luoyi let out a hearty laugh.
“Why should the prince be angry? This is top-quality ‘Chun Ri Du,’ guaranteed to make you feel ecstasy beyond imagination.”
“Despicable!”
Xiao Yaohan ground his teeth in anger, yet felt powerless to resist.
He could only sense the flames within him growing fiercer, his rationality gradually being consumed. He leaped away.
…
“Bang!”
The door to the private room where Gu Qianxian was located was suddenly flung open.
A tall figure stumbled in.
Gu Qianxian gasped and quickly grabbed a sheer garment from behind the screen to cover herself.
“Who?!”
She looked at the unfamiliar man before her in terror.
His eyes were bloodshot, his breathing heavy, like a beast fixated on her.
Xiao Yaohan could only see a blur before him, with a hazy figure swaying in front of him.
He caught a faint scent of the woman, which acted like a catalyst, causing the flames within him to burn even more fiercely.
“Rong'er... is that you?”
He murmured to himself, stumbling toward Gu Qianxian.
Gu Qianxian's heart trembled. Rong'er?
He had mistaken her for someone else!
“Y-you... don’t come any closer!”
She stepped back in fear, but he grabbed her wrist firmly.
“Rong'er, don’t be afraid. I’ve missed you so much...”
Xiao Yaohan suddenly pulled her into his embrace, holding her tightly.
Gu Qianxian struggled desperately, but it was futile.
Her strength felt insignificant against him, like an ant trying to shake a tree.
“Let go of me! You’ve got the wrong person!”
She screamed, her voice filled with despair.
Xiao Yaohan didn’t hear her at all; he only felt the softness of the woman in his arms, making it hard for him to let go.
He lowered his head and roughly pressed his lips against hers.
Tears streamed down Gu Qianxian's face as she felt a wave of nausea. She struggled to push Xiao Yaohan away.
But her strength seemed trivial in front of him.
His kiss was domineering and wild, carrying a hint of punishment.
Gu Qianxian felt as if her breath was being stolen away; her mind went blank...
After what felt like an eternity, Xiao Yaohan experienced a fleeting moment of clarity.
He lowered his head and saw the tear-streaked face of the woman in his arms.
It was a stranger's face, yet breathtakingly beautiful.
He was stunned. Who was she?
Before he could gather his thoughts, the remnants of the aphrodisiac surged within him once more.
He lost his reason again...
...
As the effects of the aphrodisiac began to wane, Xiao Yaohan gradually regained his clarity.
He looked at the woman beside him and the bloodstains on the sheets, a complex emotion flickering in his eyes.
He took out a jade pendant from his pocket and placed it beside her pillow.
"Miss, I will take responsibility for you. I will come to redeem you tomorrow."
His voice was deep and hoarse, tinged with a hint of regret.
He got up, dressed quickly, and left the room without looking back.
He needed to return as soon as possible to handle the aftermath.
