Chapter 447: Heard You Got Shelved (52)

Thinking this, Shen Mubai patted her cheeks, trying to wake herself up.

However, her fair face turned slightly red from the slaps, yet the woman in the mirror still had a dazed expression, her body growing increasingly hot without her realizing it.

Shen Mubai finally sensed something was wrong.

She took a few steps forward but began to feel dizzy.

The restroom was mostly empty at this hour.

Staggering a bit, she hesitated and said, “System, what’s happening to me?”

The system replied honestly, “You’ve been drugged.”

Shen Mubai was stunned.

“W-What do you mean?”

The system replied coldly, “Exactly what it sounds like.”

Her head grew heavier, her body hotter, and she stood there for a long moment before the meaning of the words sank in.

She was frightened on the spot, realizing the seriousness of the situation.

But her phone was still in the private room.

If she wanted to call Xiaoguai, Li Hong, or anyone else, she needed to get it first.

With that in mind, she hurried out, only to bump into Li Yunze.

He wore a concerned expression, reaching out to steady her.

“Xiaoxing, you don’t look well. Are you feeling uncomfortable?”

Under normal circumstances, Shen Mubai would have had the strength to shove him away.

But under the drug’s effects, she was already disoriented, her gaze growing increasingly unfocused.

“Get away from me! Don’t touch me!”

Li Yunze had been waiting for this moment.

How could he let go now?

He firmly gripped her arm, his voice low and suggestive.

“Xiaoxing, let me take you somewhere to rest, alright?”

All Shen Mubai wanted was to return to the private room and retrieve her phone.

Right now, she found him unbearably annoying.

She struggled but couldn’t shake him off, glaring at him fiercely.

Her face was flushed unnaturally, her delicate features stunningly beautiful.

Beneath her clothes, her figure was graceful and alluring, her eyes misty with charm.

Li Yunze felt a tightness in his lower abdomen, his voice growing hoarse as he forcefully pulled her closer.

“Tonight, whether you want to or not, you’re coming with me.”

Even in her muddled state, Shen Mubai sensed something was off.

She suspected this was Li Yunze’s doing, and fury surged within her.

Just as she raised her foot to kick him, he caught her movement and gripped her even tighter.

Li Yunze looked at her struggling like a feisty little wildcat, her claws out yet utterly harmless.

Desire flared in his eyes, and he began lowering his head toward her.

But before he could make contact, a powerful force yanked him away.

The next moment, a fist landed squarely on his nose.

Caught off guard, Li Yunze stumbled backward and fell to the ground.

His face contorted with anger as he glared upward, only to see another shadow loom over him.

Another flurry of punches rained down on him.

Beaten to the point where he couldn’t even fight back, Li Yunze spat out angrily, his voice slurred, “Do you even know who I am? How dare you hit me!”

Yu Jingchen let out a cold laugh.

“You’re exactly who I want to hit!”

Li Yunze instantly recognized the voice.

Despite his bruised and swollen face, he managed to squint his eyes open and saw Yu Jingchen standing over him, his expression icy and his dark eyes staring down with a chilling indifference, as if looking at a dead man.

Fear crept into Li Yunze’s heart.

He scrambled backward on the floor, stammering, “Yu Jingchen, don’t you realize that if news of you hitting me gets out, it’ll be on tomorrow’s entertainment headlines?”

Yu Jingchen looked down at him from above, his gaze as cold as ice.

“You’d better worry about yourself first.”
