The warm water flowed over Gu Qianxian's skin, yet it could not wash away the dust that clung to 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, suffocating her breath.
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 mingled with the water, disappearing without a trace.
...
On the long street, several swift horses galloped past, kicking up clouds of dust.
Xiao Yaohan, dressed in a dark brocade robe, had features as striking as a painting, yet there was an air of coldness that kept others at bay.
"Whoa—"
Suddenly, the horses were startled, neighing loudly as one violently threw Xiao Yaohan to the ground.
"Your Highness!"
The accompanying guards were taken aback and rushed forward.
Xiao Yaohan felt a wave of dizziness wash over him, and a heat surged from his lower abdomen, rapidly spreading through his limbs.
He realized with alarm that this was a sign of having been affected by 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 emerged, surrounding them completely.
The leader wore a veil that concealed 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 suppressed the discomfort within him and stared coldly 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 like you're in paradise.”
“Despicable!”
Xiao Yaohan gritted his teeth, but he was powerless to resist.
He felt the flames within him growing stronger, his rationality gradually being consumed. He leaped away.
...
“Bang!”
The door to the private room where Gu Qianxian was located was suddenly slammed open.
A tall figure stumbled in.
Gu Qianxian gasped and quickly grabbed a sheer garment from the screen to cover herself.
“Who?!”
She looked at the unfamiliar man before her in terror.
His eyes were bloodshot, his breathing heavy, as he stared at her like a beast.
Xiao Yaohan could only see a blur in front of him, with a hazy figure swaying.
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 retreated in terror, but he grabbed her wrist with a firm grip.
“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 him unable to let go.
He lowered his head and forcefully pressed his lips against hers.
Tears streamed down Gu Qianxian’s face as she felt a wave of nausea wash over her. She struggled to push Xiao Yaohan away.
But her strength seemed trivial before him.
His kiss was domineering and wild, carrying a hint of punishment.
Gu Qianxian felt as if her breath was being stolen away, and her mind went blank…
After an unknown amount of time, 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 figure it out, 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 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 deal with the aftermath.
