"Who are you! Let go... mm mm..."
Jin Xuan’er kicked and thrashed desperately, but her mouth was quickly covered. In the next moment, she was hoisted up like a sack of grain by the men in black and swiftly disappeared from the cruise ship’s deck.
The reporters who had rushed out to chase her searched the deck thoroughly but failed to find any trace of Jin Xuan’er. Many speculated that she might have been so scared of being surrounded that she had jumped into the sea to escape.
On the top floor of the luxury cruise ship, inside a bedroom.
Jin Xuan’er felt herself being forcefully shoved inward, and she tumbled hard onto the ground.
Ignoring the pain radiating through her entire body, she hurriedly reached up to tear off the black sack covering her head. The blinding light overhead made her close her eyes for a moment before she dared to open them.
Seeing the familiar arrangement of the room, Jin Xuan’er froze in shock, eyes wide open.
Wasn’t this the room where she’d tricked Ji Wei into entering?
Just as Jin Xuan’er was attempting to get up from the floor, she suddenly noticed someone moving on the sofa.
The person had been lying down with their back to her but was now sitting up while clutching their head. Slowly, he turned to look at her.
"Huo Yan!" Jin Xuan’er exclaimed in shock.
Huo Yan’s mind was clouded from the effects of the drug, coupled with the unbearable heat surging through his body. When he heard a woman’s voice, it was as if a starving man had found a glimmer of hope.
The man’s bloodshot eyes shone with a dangerous glint as he slowly stood and started approaching Jin Xuan’er.
"Huo Yan, what... what are you doing?! Don’t come any closer!"
Seeing Huo Yan’s demeanor, Jin Xuan’er instantly realized that the drug had completely taken effect. Originally, she’d schemed for Ji Wei to be violated by Huo Yan, but now the situation had unexpectedly turned against her!
Panic-stricken, Jin Xuan’er supported herself on the ground as she frantically retreated, all the while shouting, "Huo Yan, look at me! See who I am! Don’t come any closer, do you hear me?!"
However, Huo Yan was already fully under the drug’s control. Hearing his heavy, ragged breathing close in around her ears made Jin Xuan’er’s heart pound in terror.
She backed up to the door and clumsily climbed up, leaning against the door panel. Gripping the handle, she desperately tried to pull the door open!
But no matter how hard Jin Xuan’er pulled, the door wouldn’t budge.
Huo Yan’s hand had already landed on Jin Xuan’er’s back, the intense heat seeping through her sweat-soaked clothes like an electric shock, making her face turn ghostly pale in an instant.
Terrified, she pressed herself against the door, her eyes filled with despair. "Huo Yan, come to your senses! Look closely at who I am!"
"Huo Yan! You can’t do this... don’t rip my clothes!"
"No, please, Huo Yan... don’t touch me, no!"
"Help! Somebody, open the door!"
Inside the room, the man, like a ravenous wolf, completely lost his sanity and pinned the woman beneath him without mercy...
In the hallway, waiters continued to move back and forth, but none noticed the woman’s heart-wrenching cries.
After the incident involving Jin Xuan’er, the ballroom gradually returned to its serene atmosphere under the security team’s supervision.
Downstairs in the ballroom, the gentle notes of a waltz began to play again.
Perhaps because Jin Xuan’er’s downfall seemed like a fitting punishment for her scheming, Ji Wei’s mood lifted considerably as she indulged in several glasses of champagne. Her cheeks felt a little warm.
Gu Moqian, after dealing with a few trade leaders who had come up to greet him, turned to see the petite woman looking dreamily at him with hazy eyes.
Ji Wei was holding a tall-stemmed glass by its delicate stem, her other hand propping up her cheek. Her misty, glistening eyes stared unblinkingly at the incredibly handsome man in front of her.
Oh, her husband was simply perfect, no matter the time—never boring to look at.
