”I... You... ”You are just my antidote …” Tao Tian bit his lower lip as he stuttered, ”After tonight, you and I will each … ”We'll split up and go our separate ways …”
”The antidote?!” Lei Zichen's sword-like eyebrows slightly raised, his thin lips tightly pursed. His face was black. Although he really wanted to take this woman right away, his manly pride couldn't stand the title of 'antidote'.
”I am not someone who would take advantage of someone when they are in a dangerous situation. I believe that other than you, there must be other methods to remove the medicinal strength from your body. Come! Let's go to the hospital! ” After saying that, Lei Zichen once again tried to remove the mask on Tao Tian's face, ”Tell me your name, where is your home? I'll call your family! ”
”No …” Please... ”Save me …” Using all his strength, Tao Tian dodged Lei Zichen's big hand. Not caring about being embarrassed, he sealed Lei Zichen's thin lips again, and then used his warm little hands to tease on Lei Zichen's honey-colored skin, ”Don't ask who I am …” This... It won't do you any good... ”After tonight, you will forget about me …”
A drop of sweat rolled down Lei Zichen's forehead. With a doting smile, he gently caressed her silky smooth hair and carried her towards the bathroom.
After placing the hot water into the bath, Lei Zichen took a snow-white towel and carefully bathed Tao Tian.
Her skin was very white, even a bit whiter than the towel in her hands. When she touched it, it felt as smooth and exquisite as silk. There was a faint fragrance to it, which was very pleasing to the nose.
After showering, he carried Tao Tian back to bed. Lei Zichen's hand once again reached towards the silver white butterfly mask on her face. However, at the last second, he dispelled his decision to peek at the mysterious woman who had stolen his virginity.
”When we wake up tomorrow morning, with her permission, we'll have a glimpse of her face!” Lei Zichen pulled Tao Yao into his embrace, smelled her scent, and slowly closed his eyes.
The next morning, when the sunlight shone through the layers of curtains onto the snow-white walls, Tao Tian groaned and woke up first.
The man's scent was still lingering at the tip of his nose when Tao Tian's body stiffened. He suddenly opened his eyes wide and stared fixedly at the ceiling. A few seconds later, she gently turned over and wiped the tears off her face. She randomly put on her clothes, and without even having the courage to look at the man sleeping on the bed, she ran out of the room.
This time, Lei Zichen slept soundly. When he woke up, he found that Tao Tian was already gone from the room. Lei Zichen sat up on the bed and touched the cold bed beside him. His complexion darkened.
Reaching out his left hand, he saw that the diamond ring engraved with his initials was no longer there.
Last night, before he fell asleep, he saw the girl beside him curled up into a ball and slept soundly. He could not help but take off the ring that he had never left from her little finger and put it on her slender ring finger …
”Damned woman!”
Could it be that he was really just her antidote? After one night of debauchery, he was ruthlessly abandoned?!
What was even more despicable was that he did not even see the appearance of the woman who shared the Spring Festival Gala with him!
”Brother …” ”I'm back …”
As he walked through the front door of the Tao Clan residence, Tao Tian took a few deep breaths and forced himself to calm down.
”Yao Yao, why didn't you wait for me to come back before accepting the mission?” A loud voice rang out from above their heads, and immediately after, a tall and handsome man ran down the spiral staircase, placed both his hands on Tao Tian's slender shoulders, and looked her up and down, ”Yao Yao, I haven't seen you for a few days, you seem to have lost some weight! ”Tell Big Brother, is the task that Grandpa sent you too difficult?”
He stole a glance at Tao Ran from the corner of his eyes and saw that he was still wearing a dark blue suit. His handsome face was clearly defined and his resolution was firm. His originally aloof and cold eyes contained unconcealable fatigue and concern.
It was obvious that her brother had just gotten off the plane and returned home to wait for her without even going to the company … Suddenly, Tao Tian's nose turned sour and he almost cried out. He didn't dare to meet Tao Ran's gaze of concern. She sniffed and forced out a smile. ”Bro …” Didn't you just go on a business trip to Japan? Hehe! ”Besides, I've done so many missions and I've never failed before …” With that, Tao Tian pushed Tao Ran's hand away and rushed up the stairs.
Looking at the fleeing figure of Tao Tian, he caught a glimpse of the red scar on her neck. He knew that something must have happened to Tao Tian last night. Tao Ran's heart tightened and he quickly followed.
Tao Ran stood outside the door for a moment and did not hear any unusual sounds coming from Tao Tian's bedroom. He was finally relieved and after a long time, he turned around and headed downstairs to the kitchen.
After returning to his room and taking a hot bath, Tao Tian changed into a suit that was red in color and lazily sat on the sofa. His sweet face was so pale that it was almost transparent.
Lowering his head and fiddling with the silver diamond ring on his ring finger, a faint smile appeared on Tao Tian's face, his eyes filled with pain. Finally, she took off the ring and casually threw it in the drawer.
This morning, when she woke up, she ran away before she could see the face of the man sleeping beside her.
Fortunately, this was the case. Otherwise, in her dreams in the future, the appearance of that strange man who had snatched her away for the first time would often appear!
”Yao Yao, you must be hungry!”
Three sounds came from the door, and a tall figure walked in. Tao Ran brought a cup of hot milk and a few pieces of bread on a red wooden tray to Tao Tian.
