He stole his best friend's photos and fell for a tycoon's heir through online dating.

Xia Ruo turned her head with difficulty to look.

She is a woman who dresses very elegantly.

She wore a dark green velvet dress, with a string of pearl necklaces around her neck that shone with a warm glow, and her eyes and brows conveyed a composure and sharpness born from the experience of life.

"Thank you……"

Xia Ruo's voice was as weak as a wisp of smoke; her lips moved, and she managed to squeeze out a few words.

"I'm not feeling well, could you please call my friend?"

Huo Yilan looked down at Xia Ruo's appearance—blushing cheeks, unfocused eyes, and burning body temperature.

His brows furrowed instantly, and a chilling anger surged within him.

She gritted her teeth, almost forcing the sound out between them:

"Is the Song family planning to repeat the same old trick a second time?"

Do they really think we're made of clay? That we can be fooled like this?

She carefully supported Xia Ruo's waist, letting her lean on her shoulder.

With her other hand, she took out her phone, found Zhou Siyan's number, and dialed it.

The phone rang once and was answered. Huo Yilan spoke very quickly, her tone cold:

"Xia Ruo has been drugged! Quick, get to the auxiliary restroom!"

On both sides of the restroom, the people arranged by Song Yu and the people arranged by Song Jingtian were secretly observing.

After seeing Huo Yilan help Xia Ruo out, they all silently retreated back into the banquet hall.

Zhou Siyan practically ran all the way here, his leather shoes making a rapid sound on the marble floor.

When he arrived, his forehead was damp with a thin layer of sweat. Seeing Xia Ruo, who was practically limp in Huo Yilan's arms, his pupils constricted, and he scooped her up in his arms.

"What happened?"

"She must have been drugged!" Huo Yilan's voice was very low.

"Take her to the hospital quickly!"

Zhou Siyan scooped Xia Ruo up in his arms, holding her tightly in his embrace, and strode toward the elevator.

Xia Ruo in his arms was burning hot; he could feel the abnormal heat even through the fabric of her suit.

The man's body felt cool and refreshing, carrying the crisp scent of cedarwood cologne.

Xia Ruo unconsciously snuggled closer to him, her forehead brushing against his shirt collar.

Zhou Siyan raised his hand, his fingertips gently brushing against her sweaty forehead, and said in a low, husky voice:

"Baby, be good, we're going to the hospital right away."

The voice was deep and husky, carrying a warm breath as it brushed past her ear, which was undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire for Xia Ruo at that moment.

She shuddered violently as the intense heat surged through her body once more, making her tremble all over.

Xia Ruo tilted her head back, her dreamy gaze falling on the man's handsome face so close to hers.

The next second, she reached out and pulled the man's tie down, her soft lips pressing against his.

Zhou Siyan's expression froze for a moment.

He looked down at the person who had taken the initiative to kiss him, and the tenderness in his eyes was instantly replaced by a surge of emotions.

The next instant, his large hand around her waist tightened sharply, his knuckles digging deep into the fabric of her dress, pulling her even closer into his embrace.

He tilted his head to deepen the kiss, his tongue probing between her slightly parted lips with a force that was a mixture of restraint and loss of control.

Xia Ruo let out a soft sob, her fingers gripping his tie tightly, her whole body going limp like a pool of spring water.

The air inside the elevator instantly became scorching hot.

"bite--"

The elevator doors slid open.

Zhou Siyan reluctantly released Xia Ruo's lips, which had become fuller and redder from the kiss, glistening with moisture.

His Adam's apple bobbed, and he forcefully suppressed the surging emotions in his eyes, carrying her as he strode toward the McLaren parked at the door.

A different driver was on the bus today.

Assistant Zhang was standing by the car door when he saw them coming and quickly opened the back door.

When he caught a glimpse of Xia Ruofei's flushed cheeks out of the corner of his eye, he immediately looked away.

"Go to the hospital!" Zhou Siyan said sternly.

After Assistant Zhang got into the passenger seat, he pressed the button on the rear partition.

Zhou Siyan took a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator, unscrewed the cap, and carefully brought the bottle to Xia Ruo's lips:

"Baby, open your mouth and drink some water."

Xia Ruo obediently opened her mouth and took small sips of the drink.

It was Zhou Siyan's phone ringing.

He freed one hand, took out his phone, and pressed the answer button.

The person on the other end of the phone was Huo Yilan.

"Siyan, how is that girl?"

"He's not fully conscious." Zhou Siyan gritted his teeth, his knuckles turning white as he gripped his phone.

"I suspect it was the Song family who did it. They used such underhanded tactics back then," Huo Yilan said in an extremely cold voice.

"I've already spoken to your father about sealing off the banquet hall. All entrances and exits are guarded. You can decide what to do yourself."

"I understand, Auntie. I'll handle it," Zhou Siyan said, preparing to hang up.

"etc……"

"Um?"

Huo Yilan was silent for a moment:

"Siyan, this girl is very likely the daughter of an old friend. You... must take good care of her."

"The son of an old friend?" Zhou Siyan frowned slightly and looked down at Xia Ruo, who was leaning on his shoulder.

She was drinking water, but she was still restless, rubbing against his arm and making him feel hot and bothered.

A faint fragrance brushed past his nose.

His body began to feel hot, and his temples throbbed. He had no mind to think about what Huo Yilan had said.

"Okay, Auntie, I'm hanging up now." He hung up the phone hastily.

I had just hung up the phone when Si Yan'an called.

Zhou Siyan answered the phone, and the voice on the other end was almost a shout:

"Zhou Siyan, why did it take you so long to answer the phone?!"

Where are you? Come quick! Xia Ruo is missing!

Wanwan said that Xia Ruo had been in the bathroom for more than ten minutes and hadn’t come out. She went in to look for her, but there was no one inside!

Your dad has sealed off the entire banquet hall, where are you???

Zhou Siyan pressed his temples, which were throbbing painfully. His voice was tired and helpless:

"You two are really unreliable."

Xia Ruo has been drugged, and we're on our way to the hospital.

Your men now intercept all the Song family members in the banquet hall. Use whatever method you can to obtain the antidote!

"There's one more thing..."

As Zhou Siyan was speaking, he suddenly felt a soft body pressed against him.

His voice suddenly stopped, and he looked at the person beside him.

Xia Ruo didn't know when he had already pulled off the suit jacket he had draped over her shoulders, and she had also pulled one shoulder strap of her dress up to her arm.

She revealed a large expanse of her fair, slightly pinkish shoulders and delicate collarbones.

Her soft, yielding body pressed against him.

Those small hands slowly caressed his strong, upright chest.

Zhou Siyan's grip on his phone tightened abruptly, and his Adam's apple bobbed.

On the other end of the phone, Si Yan'an was still shouting:

"What is it? You only said half of what you wanted to say! Zhou Siyan? Feed? Are you listening?"

Zhou Siyan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, pressed the mute button on the receiver, and used his other hand to hold down the little hand that was wreaking havoc on his body.

The coolness of her palm enveloped her burning fingertips, and her voice took on a restrained hoarseness.

"Baby, don't move!"

Xia Ruo struggled a few times, trying to free her hands.

But the man's grip was really strong.

Instead of breaking free, she was held even tighter.

"It hurts..." Xia Ruo cried out in pain, her eyes instantly filled with tears as she looked pitifully at Zhou Siyan.
