Chapter 867 Su Yunxi Poisoned?
Chen Xuan whistled, hailed a taxi by the roadside, and got in.
"Where to, young man?"
"Shangri-La Hotel!"
Upon hearing this, the taxi driver glanced at Chen Xuan with surprise.
The Shangri-La Hotel was a renowned five-star hotel in Hong Kong, owned by the influential Li family. Chen Xuan, with his unassuming appearance and plain attire, was unexpectedly able to afford staying at such a prestigious establishment.
However, the taxi driver asked no further questions and drove Chen Xuan to the Shangri-La Hotel.
Soon, Chen Xuan arrived at the Shangri-La Hotel.
The Shangri-La Hotel exuded grandeur and splendor. The parking lot in front was filled with rows upon rows of luxury cars, akin to a luxury car exhibition, with various wealthy individuals coming and going.
It had to be said that, from a developmental perspective, Hong Kong was faring much better than the provincial capital of Jiangnan Province. While Jiangnan Province also had similar hotels, the overall ambiance here was on a different level.
Chen Xuan, with the celebration on his mind, whistled and walked inside with a lighter step.
"Sir, would you like a fresh flower to give to your girlfriend?"
Suddenly, a young girl of twelve or thirteen, carrying a flower basket, approached him.
The basket was filled with roses, vividly red.
As if worried Chen Xuan might refuse, she looked at him pitifully, her eyes turning red. "One flower is two dollars, no, even one dollar is fine. These are roses my dad grew himself! My dad's leg was crushed by a driver, and he's in the hospital now, with no money for treatment..."
Chen Xuan's heart ached, and he immediately nodded, "Okay! I'll take one!"
"Thank you, sir, thank you,"
The little girl repeatedly expressed her gratitude and quickly took a rose from the basket for Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan took the rose and handed the girl a hundred-dollar bill.
The little girl looked at the hundred-dollar bill, appearing troubled and very worried. "Sir, I don't have change..."
She then took out all the loose change from her pocket – one-dollar, two-dollar, and five-dollar coins. In total, it was no more than fifty dollars, nowhere near enough to make change.
As the girl hesitated, Chen Xuan smiled and said, "No need for change. I'll buy your dad something good later!"
With that, Chen Xuan, holding the rose, turned and walked into the hotel.
"Thank you, big brother!"
Tears streamed from the little girl's eyes as she shouted at Chen Xuan's retreating back.
Since her father was hospitalized, her family had no money for treatment. The little girl had borrowed from relatives and friends, but couldn't get a single cent. Thus, she came out to sell the roses her father grew. Even while selling roses, she was often ostracized by her peers and sometimes beaten. It could be said that at such a young age, she had already experienced the coldness of the world.
Chen Xuan's simple act of kindness had such a profound impact on the little girl. He had already reached the hotel elevator lobby, preparing to take the elevator to his room.
But just then, Chen Xuan's phone rang.
He smiled, "It seems Yunxi is getting impatient..."
Chen Xuan took out his phone to check, and his brow furrowed.
It wasn't Su Yunxi's call, but Yang Zhenzhen's!
He frowned and answered. Before Chen Xuan could speak, Yang Zhenzhen's urgent voice came through, as if something major had happened: "Brother-in-law, something's terribly wrong, hurry and save Cousin!"
Chen Xuan's gaze turned sharp, his entire demeanor instantly changing. The people waiting for the elevator felt a chill surge from the soles of their feet straight to the top of their heads, causing them to shiver.
"Don't rush, speak slowly. What happened to Yunxi?"
Chen Xuan took a breath.
"Brother-in-law, Cousin just called me and said she's in trouble and wants you to go over quickly!"
"I'm downstairs now, I'll be right there!"
With that, Chen Xuan hung up the phone and, not bothering to wait for the elevator, rushed into the stairwell.
Perhaps in his haste, Chen Xuan didn't consider why Su Yunxi would call Yang Zhenzhen instead of him directly.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Yang Zhenzhen hung up the phone and sent out a text message: Cousin, Brother-in-law is almost here!
Chen Xuan rushed all the way to the fifteenth floor and, with a bang, kicked open the door!
He stormed straight in...
The curtains in the room were drawn, and the lights were off, making the room somewhat dim, but that was not an issue for Chen Xuan.
On the long white table, several red candles were lit, and exquisite plates were placed on it. The pan-seared steak still emitted an enticing aroma.
It seemed a romantic scene was about to unfold.
This was prepared by Su Yunxi!
There were no signs of a struggle in the room, yet Chen Xuan did not relax; he remained highly vigilant.
"I want..."
Just then, a pained, low moan came from the bedroom!
It was Su Yunxi's voice.
Chen Xuan's expression changed, and he lunged towards the bedroom. But just as he reached the doorway, a fragrant, soft object directly lunged at him. His gaze turned cold, and just as he was about to react, a pair of red lips suddenly pressed against his.
Soft, sweet, and intoxicating!
Their eyes met!
It was Su Yunxi!
Chen Xuan's guard instantly dropped.
But the next moment, Su Yunxi, like an octopus, clung to Chen Xuan, passionately kissing him.
Wasn't this what Chen Xuan had been waiting for?
Without overthinking, Chen Xuan responded with equal passion...
The room grew thick with pheromones, almost suffocating. Soon, clothes were strewn on the floor, torn.
Her smooth skin seemed to radiate light.
"Chen Xuan... quick..."
Su Yunxi parted her red lips, her rosy cheeks filled with allure.
Chen Xuan's mind raced, his masculine breath fanning Su Yunxi's face, making her blush even more.
"I want..."
Chen Xuan surged forward as if driven mad, but then suddenly stopped.
He looked at Su Yunxi beneath him, her eyes hazy, her skin bearing an unusual faint pinkish hue. His pupils constricted.
Poisoned!
Chen Xuan immediately grabbed Su Yunxi's wrist and took her pulse, his expression changing. "No wonder Su Yunxi is so proactive. It turns out she's been poisoned by something similar to the 'Hehuan San' aphrodisiac."
Chen Xuan thought about it. Su Yunxi was not a woman who would proactively seduce someone. Instead, she was a very conservative woman. Even if she wanted to celebrate, would she give herself to him?
He shook his head with a wry smile.
Before Chen Xuan could think of a cure, the maddened Su Yunxi suddenly pounced on him, wrapping her arms around him. Her full chest pressed against Chen Xuan's body, the elasticity making Chen Xuan's desire surge.
Chen Xuan took a deep breath and rushed into the bathroom, turning on the shower. The icy cold water hitting him instantly cleared his mind.
However, as he turned his head and looked at the seductive Su Yunxi in his arms, a fire seemed ready to erupt again....
