Chapter 1277 - Sighing In Relief (2/2)

“Are you sick?”

The man remained silent. However, his breathing grew heavier.

Seeing that he remained silent while his tall figure leaned towards her, Cen Xi suddenly recalled something and realized that she was in a dangerous situation. She jumped onto and behind the sofa, like an alarmed rabbit before she ran back to her bedroom hurriedly.

With a loud bang, she slammed the door shut.

Her slender body slid down the door, her eyelashes fluttering nonstop.

H-He… Did he not have a flu and was drugged instead?

He was handsome and had a good background, so there would definitely be women who wanted to give themselves to him. However, wouldn’t using that kind of method be too superficial?

However, if he was drugged, why did he come to find her?

What was he treating her as?

Cen Xi cursed at him softly.

After a few minutes, Cen Xi didn’t hear any noise from outside. However, she didn’t dare to open the door either.

Another few minutes had pa.s.sed and she suddenly heard the door being slammed shut. She slowly opened a slit in the door. The lights in the living room were all turned off and it was completely pitch black out there.

He left!

With how clever he was, he should be able to tell that she wasn’t willing to be his antidote. He was such an arrogant person, so he probably wouldn’t force himself on a woman, right?!

Cen Xi opened the bedroom door and walked towards the main door. Before she went to sleep, she felt that she should at least lock the door from inside.

After locking the door, she returned to her room.

Given what had happened, she had lost all hint of sleep within her, so she decided to read for a while.

Closing the door after she entered her room, she had just turned around when she saw a tall figure appearing in front of her.

Cen Xi was so scared that her pupils constricted instantly as she jumped. She was about to scream when the man’s well-defined hand cupped over her mouth. “Don’t shout.”

His voice was low and hoa.r.s.e.

Cen Xi stared at him with widened eyes, before she pulled his hand away. “Didn’t you leave? Do you know it’s very frightening to suddenly appear in my room?”

Qiao Yanze narrowed his eyes as his handsome face leaned closer towards her. “Since I’m here, why would I leave so quickly?”

Cen Xi was both embarra.s.sed and annoyed. She reached out and pushed him out of her room with all of her strength. “Young Master Qiao, I’m neither your lover nor your pet. Why should I let you use me? If you don’t feel well, you can go and find Miss Ji or another woman. Yー”

Before she could finish, he suddenly grabbed her hands.
