40 PROMISED RETRIBUTION (2/2)
Her father had told her that some people liked to know exactly what was being done to their bodies. Explaining supposedly reduced anxiety and promoted efficacy of acupressure and acupuncture. As a control freak, Zhong Feng would probably be more comfortable knowing.
After a moment of massaging the acu-points, she instructed him to lie on his stomach. She pressed more points firmly on the before jumping off the bed. She instructed him to stand up and then lightly touched the hollow of his neck before nodding in satisfaction.
”You might want to be in the bathroom in the next twenty seconds.” She said with a smile.
His puzzled eyes looked at her and she blinked at him innocently. He felt an ominous feeling from those orbs. Without another word, he went off to the bathroom. Hu Lei hopped back on the comfortable bed and lay down. It was like sleeping on clouds with lumbar support. She definitely needed one of these once she found an apartment.
She immediately felt like dozing off in the brilliant cushiony bed once she settled in. After about ten minutes, the bathroom door opened, revealing a Zhong Feng with a pale face. She looked at him guiltily even though she had done it for his own good.
”Throwing up is the most efficient way to clear out your stomach in these circumstances.” She explained.
His cold eyes seemed to want to freeze her into an ice cube.
”If I had told you beforehand, you would have resisted.” She continued.
”Is there anything else?” He asked.
She nodded.
”Your body has already absorbed some of the drug. We need to stimulate the body to remove all residues. It's not a big deal; just a few pokes around the liver and the kidneys.” She was completely honest this time.
He looked at her sceptically as she waved a finger gun made of her middle and index fingers. She seemed a little dangerous, especially when he remembered the power of her pokes. He wondered if he should have called the concierge doctor instead of indulging her.
”This is the best way to be sure that there are no side effects.” She paused. ”You know my father is a divine doctor, right?”
She showed a smile with little tiger teeth as she pulled out her final card. That smile dazzled him. Though she had spent the week smiling in meetings, she had not shown this type of smile since that day in the Maven Restaurant.
Like a man walking to his death, he submitted and joined her on the bed.
