Chapter 119 She and I Are Together (1/2)

Ying Qingcang rushed to the airport after he got the call. Young Master Shen went with him too.

”Things can't go on like this. I think it's best to ask Xin Qing to come back here!” Young Master Shen looked at Ying Qingcang. The man's face had been tense ever since receiving the phonecall just now. The aura he was giving out could probably freeze someone to death. At Young Master Shen's words, Ying Qingcang clenched his fists.

”I'm thinking the same. This time I'll bring her back no matter what.”

Ah Che's call came through again. Ying Qingcang suppressed the fear in his heart and answered the phone.

”Young Master, Young Miss had been taken away by William.”

In that moment, Xin Qing was unable to cry even if she wanted to. She never thought Ailey would do such a thing...

”Ailey, hurry up and open the door,” Meyer said. His face was abnormally flushed and his clothes were unkempt. He looked utterly dishevelled.

”Bro!” Ailey said through the door. ”I'm doing this for your own good. Haven't you always been in love with Xin Qing? After all, she's divorced now. You can be with each other once you slept together. I'm doing this for you.”

Xin Qing was sipping on ice water to alleviate the burning sensation she was feeling in her body. In between sips, she laughed humorlessly and said, ”You're just worried that you'll be forced into a marriage by your family. That's why you're so desperate to get your brother married. But how could you drug us? That's illegal!”

”Xin Qing!” Ailey shouted. ”Just stop resisting. My brother will treat you well. And if you marry into our family, we will treat you well too!”

The heat inside her body was getting out of hand. Xin Qing knew this sensation. She had experienced this before. That last time, Ying Qingcang had been there to save her, but now? Xin Qing felt scared and queasy at the same time. But hearing Ailey words, she felt a surge of anger so strong that had her trembling all over.

”I thought you were just young and immature, but I was wrong. You're selfish and shameless.” It had been a long time since Xin Qing had felt such an intense hatred for another person. In that moment, Meyer was in no better state than Xin Qing herself. He was standing at the door, trying to force the door open with his shoulder.

”Bro, stop wasting your energy. All the doors in this hotel are custom-made using high quality, sound-proof material. You'll never be able to break it.”

Meyer had also become furious at this point. He faced the door and yelled, ”Ailey, do you still see me as a brother?”

”Aww, come on. I'm doing this for your own good. You two need to just stop resisting. I'll come back and let you both out tomorrow morning.” After that, nothing else could be heard from outside the door except silence.

Xin Qing climbed to her feet, wobbling and knocking on things while doing so. Then, she stumbled towards the bathroom, where she turned on the shower and doused her body with cold water. After that, she took a bath towel and wrapped it around her body. She ran out and said to Meyer, ”Come on, get in.”

Meyer understood what she meant and went to stand directly under the shower. The icy water had temporarily calmed the two of them down. Meyer looked at Xin Qing with an expression of pure agony. ”I'm sorry...”

”That's enough. This isn't your fault.” Xin Qing shook her head weakly. ”Now I just hope the cold water can help us get through tonight.”

”Don't worry. I'll find a way to make everything right.” Meyer stood under the shower, his hands clenched into tight fists. His body was getting out of his control. He was a man, and the drug would have a greater effect on men compared to women. He thought things over in his head, and then he told Xin Qing, ”Do you see that ashtray on the table? If I lose control later, you have to grab that thing and smash it on my head.”

Xin Qing released a bitter laugh. ”I only hope I have the strength by then.”

Neither of them said a word after that exchange. It was a long and arduous night. The raging drugs within their bodies had nearly driven them out of their minds. Meyer's eyes were already bloodshot. He had tied himself to the faucet using a towel. Xin Qing was not faring any better either. She was sobbing quietly and was trying her most damn not to take off her clothes right then and there. Both of them knew that they were nearing their limits.

Suddenly, Ailey's voice was heard outside the door. ”Let me go!” There were also sounds of frenzied footsteps after that.

”Is this the room?” Asked a man's voice.

Ailey's angry voice sounded again, ”I won't give you the keys. Break down the door, see if you can!”

Following that was a series of thumps on the door, which came as many as five or six times. There was a crash, and the door swung open. Huddled up against the corner of the room, Xin Qing shook her head and tried to clear away the blur in her vision. A few people burst through the door. One of them was walking towards her in a hurried pace.

The incoming person picked her up. Xin Qing did everything in her power to make out the person's face, but all she could see was a blur. It took every single ounce of her strength to make a sound, ”Ying... Qingcang...”

When she regained consciousness, she felt as if her brain had been filled with lead. Xin Qing rubbed her eyes before she opened them abruptly. She discovered that she was lying on the bed, fully naked.

”You're awake!” A voice, which sounded slightly worried, rang out. Xin Qing turned her pale face towards the source of the voice. There was a door, and she saw William standing at the doorway in a bathrobe.

William placed the milk he had been holding his hand beside the bed and then looked at her. The look in his eyes right then was honest and without any pretence. ”Xin Qing,” he said, ”I rushed to save you yesterday. But you were given an overdose of a very potent aphrodisiac. The drug had been in your system for far too long and I don't think I'd be able to get you to a hospital in time. Your life was in danger.”

”Stop talking.” Xin Qing's vision had long since gone blurry due to the tears that had welled up in her eyes. Her entire face was already drenched in tears as she wrapped blanket around herself and stumbled into the bathroom.

William stood at the bathroom's entrance. He thought about what he was going to say. After a brief moment, he said, ”I'll take responsibility. Let me look after you and Ah Sha!”

From inside the bathroom came the sound of running water along with Xin Qing's sobs. William did not know what else to say, so he turned around and retrieved the clothes that he had prepared beforehand. Then, with his back facing the door, he went inside the bathroom to deliver the clothes.

”Ding Dong!” The door bell suddenly rang when William was just about to start putting on his pants. William, still bare-chested, went to answer the door. There was a forceful shove on the door the moment he opened it. When Ying Qingcang saw William, his entire being began to radiate a dark, icy aura. Young Master Shen stood closely behind Ying Qingcang, ready to help him take out anyone standing in their way.

”Mr. Ying,” William said as he calmly put on his shirt. Then he flicked a glance towards the bathroom.

Ying Qingcang shoved the man aside and opened the door to the bathroom. Inside, Xin Qing's shriek could be heard.

”Ying Qingcang? You... What are you doing here— Hey, let me go! Ah! What the hell are you doing?!”
