Suddenly, the door was kicked open. The man jolted, looking towards the doorway, and saw a tall figure standing silhouetted against the light.
"Who is it? How dare you intrude and ruin my good time, I'll..."
Abruptly, a sharp knife grazed his throat, cutting off his words. The man reached up to touch it, and blood spurted out. With a thud, he collapsed onto the floor, unmoving.
Shen Xi trembled uncontrollably. She lifted her head hazily and saw a familiar figure approaching her.
Qin Si Ye! Is that you?
Did you come to save me?
Her eyes were blurred with tears, her lips quivering. For a long time, she couldn't utter a single word.
It wasn't until the man gently picked her up and called her name with concern that she sobbed and wrapped her arms around his neck, bursting into tears.
As Qin Si Ye carried her out, she suddenly remembered the two children. She looked up and said, "Chen Chen and Shuo Shuo, they're still... still with them..."
"Don't worry, they've already been rescued." Qin Si Ye glanced at her and continued walking out.
Shen Xi felt him walking slowly and realized he was injured.
Her vision hazy, she held onto his neck, gasping for breath, "Qin Si Ye, you... you can put me down, I... I can walk myself."
At this moment, her body felt increasingly feverish, though a sliver of clarity remained in her mind.
Qin Si Ye immediately understood what she had just endured.
"Don't move. You can't walk right now. The car is right outside, we'll be there soon."
Shen Xi's eyes welled up with tears, her mouth opened and closed, but no words came out.
Following behind them with a cane, Zhao Ze kept his head down, not daring to utter a word.
A few minutes later, Qin Si Ye, carrying Shen Xi, finally got into the car. Zhao Ze slid into the driver's seat and asked in a low voice, "President, should we go to the hospital?"
"No. Back to Xing Lan Wan." Qin Si Ye looked at the woman constantly nuzzling in his arms, his gaze sharp. "Call Gu Lin quickly and tell him to hurry over too."
"Yes." Zhao Ze responded with a single word and started the car, accelerating swiftly.
For the first half of the journey, Shen Xi struggled to control herself. She painstakingly got off Qin Si Ye and maintained a distance from him.
Her body trembled, and her teeth chattered.
Qin Si Ye, his heart aching, wanted to pull her closer. He reached out several times, but she slapped his hand away.
Halfway through the drive, Shen Xi had essentially lost all control.
At some point, she had torn off the human skin mask herself. Sweat beaded on her forehead, soaking her clothes.
Her eyes bloodshot, she looked at the man in front of her and slowly moved closer. She fumbled with the top two buttons of his shirt, her small hands restlessly reaching inside.
She mumbled, "Hot, so hot."
Qin Si Ye's body tensed, and he whispered soothingly in her ear, "Xi Xi, hold on a little longer, we'll be home soon."
However, his gentle, captivating voice only agitated Shen Xi further.
In the next instant, her hazy eyes widened. She sat on his lap and touched his handsome face, "I'm so uncomfortable, can you help me, please?"
As she spoke, she leaned in and kissed his lips.
Qin Si Ye's eyes widened. He glanced at Zhao Ze driving in front and forcefully pushed her away, "Xi Xi, calm down."
"No. I can't bear it. I want..." Shen Xi was no longer aware of what she was saying. She hooked her arms around his neck again and brought her lips to his.
How could Qin Si Ye resist the repeated "temptations" from the woman he loved?
His breathing grew rapid, and he finally responded to her kiss.
After a period of passionate, back-and-forth embraces, Qin Si Ye suddenly regained his composure.
He knew that all he could do was this; he could not go any further.
When Shen Xi reached for his clothes again, Qin Si Ye abruptly pushed her away and patted her flushed cheeks forcefully, "Xi Xi, you can't do this, you need to wake up."
Shen Xi looked at him with tearful eyes, her expression helpless.
She writhed on his lap, repeatedly lunging at him, only to be pushed back by Qin Si Ye.
Sitting in the front, Zhao Ze tried his best to concentrate, his eyes fixed on the road ahead. However, his ears had clearly heard their interaction, and his face had turned red all the way to his ears.
"Step on the gas, drive as fast as you can," Qin Si Ye yelled at him.
"Yes. We should be home in five minutes," Zhao Ze replied quickly.
In fact, he was more anxious than Qin Si Ye.
If the drug's effects intensified later, and Shen Xi, with brute force, decided to take him on, and the President's willpower wavered even slightly, leading to them... in the car, he would be incredibly embarrassed.
