Just as Li Dacheng was going to hug Xiao Yuqian and try to kiss her, Xiao Yuqian pushed Li Dacheng away.
But her strength was drained entirely because of the drug. The scarier part was that the drug was starting to take its effect, and she actually had the thought of not rejecting Li Dacheng.
“Do you know how much I’ve thought about you every day?” Li Dacheng smiled pervertedly. “I should take good care of you, shouldn’t I?”
Li Dacheng pushed his face closer, and Xiao Yuqian quickly turned her head. What little remained of her reason was the only thing that kept her safe. She grabbed the wine bottle on the table and smashed it into Li Dacheng’s head.
Li Dacheng screamed and let Xiao Yuqian go as his head bled.
Xiao Yuqian took the chance and ran for the door.
“Get that bitch! Go! I’m going to make her suffer!”
Xiao Yuqian could hear Li Dacheng’s scream as she ran.
She ran and ran until she arrived at the hotel’s garden. There wasn’t any place for her to hide except for the swimming pool.
Without any choice, she jumped straight into the cold pool.
Miraculously, the cold water actually woke her up a little from the drug and her head became clearer.
“Where is she?”
“I think she’s hiding somewhere.”
“Look around.”
Xiao Yuqian could hear Li Dacheng’s guards talking near her.
As their footsteps got closer, Xiao Yuqian took a deep breath and dove under the water.
Since she was being hidden by the shadow of a tree, the guards did not notice her in the pool.
Xiao Yuqian waited until she was almost out of breath and poked her head out as she gasped for air.
She noticed that the guards were walking towards other parts of the hotel and did not see her. She climbed out from the water and was about to take the chance to leave when someone stood above her, staring at her.
Shocked by the person, Xiao Yuqian jumped back into the pool.
“Huh? You look familiar?” the person said.
Xiao Yuqian was stunned, as the voice sounded familiar. She raised her head and finally saw the man’s face with the help of the lamp next to him. Whether it was fate or not, Xiao Yuqian had no idea.
It was the man that helped her with her ex at the Hilton Hotel.
“What? Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten about me?” Ma Haodong asked with a cunning smile.
“No, I didn’t. I don’t have the time to talk to you, please move.”
Xiao Yuqian was already shivering from the cold water. Any longer than that in the pool, and she might get sick.
Ma Haodong did not move and just stared at her. Then, they heard the guards coming back towards the pool, and Xiao Yuqian panicked.
Ma Haodong had guessed what was happening and joked, “Are those people looking for you? Should I tell them you’re here?”
“Wait, please don’t tell them!” Xiao Yuqian begged.
