Chapter 291 You Also Awakened

The waiter didn't say a word, didn't answer her questions, and didn't make any sound. He walked mechanically like a machine that had received some instructions.

Ye Xi's body became increasingly weak, his vision dim and blurry, and he was like a powerless rag doll being pulled forward by someone until he was thrown onto a soft object and stopped.

The soft touch and elasticity made Ye Xi judge that there should be a bed underneath. She was taken to a hotel room far away from the banquet hall.

While Ye Xi was adapting to the symptoms of feeling top-heavy, she tried to sit up. At the same time, she heard the sound of the door opening and closing. The waiter had gone out, but another person came in.

She tilted her ear. Her hearing was the only way she could judge her surroundings. She asked cautiously, "Who are you?"

She knew that the waiter just now was just following orders, and the one who came in now should be the mastermind of this incident.

"What do you want?" When the other party didn't answer, she asked again.

The man laughed. Ye Xi felt the figure approaching her. Her tone was regretful and playful: "You are still conscious? I really underestimated your willpower."

He squatted down in front of Ye Xi, pinched her chin and observed: "It seems that the dosage is still too little."

medicine?
Did this person drug her?

When did this happen?
She had never eaten or touched anything outside tonight, and even brought every drink herself, except for Jiang Yixuan's glass of red wine.

Although only a blurry figure could be seen, he did not change his clothes and was still wearing the all-white outfit.

"Jiang, Yi, Xuan!" Ye Xi called out the name through gritted teeth, "I clearly didn't drink that glass of wine, how did you drug me?"

Jiang Yixuan explained in a good mood: "I already knew that you were still wary of me, so I was prepared for you not to drink that glass of wine, so..."

He leaned close to Ye Xi's ear, and the distance between them was very close. "I put the medicine on the rim of the cup."

Unexpectedly, despite all the precautions, I was still not careful enough and he took advantage of the opportunity.

"I've been on guard against you for so long, but I didn't expect that the only time I was soft on you, it gave you the opportunity to hurt me." Ye Xi lowered his head, making it impossible to see his expression.

Jiang Yixuan stood up and looked down at her. "You don't need to use those words on me. I'm no longer the Jiang Yixuan I used to be. Do you think I don't know that you're the best at attacking people's hearts?"

"Today, no matter what you say or do, you can't stop me."

Ye Xi stopped pretending. She raised her eyes and looked at him with a cold tone: "So, what are you going to do?"

Jiang Yixuan looked at her quietly, waited for a while, and then seemed to see something that satisfied him, and said, "Aren't you still curious about what drug I gave you?"

Ye Xi was startled, not only because his words made her feel uneasy, but also because she noticed some changes in her body. The previous weakness, fatigue, and dizziness had been replaced by a feeling of heat.

"You actually gave me a love potion," Ye Xi was stunned by his shamelessness and shook her head hard, trying to fight the effects of the drug in her body. "Don't you claim to be deeply devoted to Lin Rouer? I didn't expect you to be so despicable."

"I thought that as the male protagonist here, you would at least have some persistence. I didn't expect you to have no bottom line at all!"

"Sure enough," Jiang Yixuan didn't care about her scolding at all, just receiving the information he was concerned about, "You have awakened too."

"Also?" Ye Xi raised her head in confusion. The moment she met Jiang Yixuan's gaze, she suddenly understood a lot of things.

Why did Jiang Yixuan suddenly change his ways, not only willing to make peace but also giving up two lucrative projects, because he felt that he could take them back sooner or later? Why did he keep saying that he wanted to move the Jiang family out of Yuncheng, but she never found out where he planned to move to? Because he had no intention of actually moving away, everything was just a smokescreen he had released.

He wasn't relieved, he was awakened, he wasn't willing to give in, he was just more tolerant. After enduring until now, she really let down her guard against him and fell into his trap.

"I used to be very confused. Why did you love me so much in the past, love me to the point of losing your dignity, giving me everything, even willing to die for me, but one day, you suddenly became a completely different person. Not only did your love for me disappear, but you also became shrewd and decisive, and even showed talents that you didn't have before. I often doubted, are you still the same Ye Xi?"

After hearing the last sentence, Ye Xi's heart was stirred. In fact, even she herself hadn't figured it out yet. Was she the same person as she was now?
Jiang Yixuan was reminiscing to himself.

"Until that day, I lost everything and understood everything."

"When people are pushed into desperate situations, they do unleash unimaginable potential. If you hadn't engineered me into such a deserted place, if everyone hadn't abandoned me and betrayed me, leaving me with nothing, I wouldn't have been able to awaken, to truly control my own destiny."

"It was also at that time that I figured out your changes. I knew that you, like me, had awakened. But you awakened earlier than me. You knew your fate in advance, and you wanted to escape it, so you started to target me and scheme against me, trying to cling to the Fu family, manage the Ye company, and even try to implement some reforms to change the Ye family's miserable ending."

"So, you lost control, and I lost everything."

Jiang Yixuan kept complaining about the disasters that Ye Xi had brought to him, venting his dissatisfaction. He wanted to put an end to all the hatred and resentment in his heart today.

"So, you have to atone for your sins, Ye Xi."

He watched quietly as the drug took effect on Ye Xi, watched the sweat beads that formed as she tried to resist the drug's effects, and watched as she would rather bite her lips until they bled than come any closer to him.

"As long as you become my woman and the Ye family becomes my support again, everything will return to normal. Under my leadership, the Jiang family will step towards glory. I will also take back the destiny that belongs to me and become the only chosen son in this world."

"Ye Xi, stop resisting."

Jiang Yixuan reached out and touched Ye Xi's cheek, hooking the strands of hair soaked with sweat behind her ears. The cool touch from his hand seemed to be the only source of soothing for Ye Xi, and she almost couldn't control herself and stuck close to him.

But she still had a shred of sanity left.

She waved her hand and slapped Jiang Yixuan's hand away, angrily saying, "Take your dirty hands away."
