Chapter 448: Heard You Got Shelved (53)

Li Yunze had an ominous premonition in his heart.

He couldn’t help but swallow and said, “What do you mean?”

With a punch landing, Yu Jingchen’s icy voice echoed in his ear, “That’s exactly what I mean.”

Li Yunze curled up on the ground in pain, and Yu Jingchen kicked him several more times.

He lifted his bruised and swollen face, now unrecognizable, and cursed indistinctly, “Yu Jingchen, I won’t let you off!”

Yu Jingchen didn’t even spare him a glance and walked straight in Shen Mubai’s direction.

The flush on her face deepened, her eyes half-closed as she leaned against the hallway wall.

It was evident the drug had fully taken effect.

Yu Jingchen walked over and supported her, his tone filled with concern, “Sister Xiaoxing.”

Shen Mubai’s consciousness was completely muddled at this point.

Instinctively, she grasped his hand and murmured, “Jingchen…”

Her soft voice called his name, making Yu Jingchen’s eyes darken and his Adam’s apple bob uncontrollably.

“Sister Xiaoxing, I’m here.”

Shen Mubai tightly clutched him, her body seemingly burning in an invisible furnace, leaning against him in discomfort.

“I feel… so terrible.”

Her voice carried confusion and helplessness, and it completely shattered Yu Jingchen’s composure.

His breathing turned chaotic as he stared unblinkingly at her and said in a trembling voice, “Sister Xiaoxing, I hope you won’t hate me.”

Shen Mubai didn’t comprehend what he said.

She was merely following her instincts, holding onto him and leaning closer, seeking relief.

“I feel so bad… Can you help me, please?”

If she were sober, she’d probably slap herself upon hearing those words.

But at this moment, she had completely lost her reason.

Yu Jingchen knew she was speaking under the drug’s influence, yet his heart still throbbed violently.

Suppressing his emotions, he said, “Sister Xiaoxing, I’ll take you away from here first.”

Shen Mubai clung to him like he was her last lifeline, refusing to let go.

Yu Jingchen didn’t take her to a hotel but brought her back to his own home.

He dismissed his assistant, Xiao Wang, and drove back to his apartment himself.

Shen Mubai was already unbearably uncomfortable, squirming restlessly in the car.

Back at the apartment, she curled up on the bed, whimpering pitifully.

“So… hot.”

Yu Jingchen bent down, touched her forehead, and softly called her name, “Sister Xiaoxing.”

Shen Mubai opened her hazy eyes and said aggrievedly, “Jingchen, I feel so awful.”

Her teary eyes gazed at him, filled with confusion.

Her flushed cheeks were alluring, and her moist, rosy lips seemed to send out an irresistible invitation.

Yu Jingchen felt a tightness in his lower abdomen, his Adam’s apple bobbing again as he stared intently at her and asked hoarsely, “Who am I?”

Shen Mubai reached out to grab him but couldn’t reach.

When he stepped back, she pouted and said pitifully, “Jingchen.”

Yu Jingchen’s self-control crumbled in an instant.

He leaned down, lifted her chin, and pressed his lips heavily against hers.

As his cool body pressed closer, Shen Mubai felt the unbearable heat in her body ease slightly, and she unconsciously responded to him.

Little did she know, for Yu Jingchen, this was a torment more excruciating than anything else.
