In an instant, Su Hao felt a surge of heat rising from his lower abdomen, sweeping through his entire body like a volcanic eruption.

His breathing became heavy, and his skin even turned a faint red.

Zhou Qian was startled when she saw Su Hao's expression in the rearview mirror.

"Su Hao, are you alright?"

"It's a minor issue, you can continue driving."

Su Hao gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, and forcefully suppressed the surging blood and qi in his body, continuing to draw out the medicinal power from Li Qiuchan's body bit by bit.

This process was much more difficult than he had imagined.

With each dose of the medicine he absorbed, the internal heat within him intensified.

The surge of heat was like a venomous snake, writhing and thrashing through his veins, trying to breach his defenses of reason.

The whole process lasted nearly three minutes.

When the last bit of the drug's effect was extracted, Su Hao was soaked in sweat, his shirt clinging to his body, outlining his strong, muscular physique.

Li Qiuchan finally calmed down, her breathing gradually became steady, and she fell into a deep sleep.

"If I hadn't forgotten my silver needles, would I be in such a sorry state?"

Su Hao smiled bitterly to himself, then held his breath and focused on dispelling the aphrodisiac he had inhaled.

……

Li Qiuchan's villa is located in Yunxi Bay, nestled against the mountains and beside the water; it is a detached three-story building.

Zhou Qian had been here before and was very familiar with entering the password to unlock the front door.

Su Hao followed closely behind, carefully carrying Li Qiuchan upstairs and placing her on the sofa.

"I'm going to take a shower."

The effects of the medicine had left Su Hao feeling hot and sticky all over, and he couldn't stand it any longer. He casually pushed open a door in the corridor and walked straight inside.

The room was decorated entirely in pink and soft furnishings, exuding a youthful and girly vibe.

Su Hao had no time to look closely and began to take off his clothes.

At the same time, Li Qiuchan's eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes.

She propped herself up on the sofa, glanced around the familiar surroundings somewhat blankly, and when she saw Zhou Qian standing to the side, she exclaimed in surprise, "Secretary Zhou? What am I doing in my own villa?"

Li Qiuchan tried hard to recall her previous experiences, but all she could remember was drinking with Wei Zuo at the Vena Hotel. Then she felt dizzy and her memory completely went blank after that.

"Well..." Zhou Qian hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.

"Mr. Li, let me organize my thoughts before I explain further."

Li Qiuchan didn't urge them. Her gaze inadvertently swept across the table and she noticed two checks on it.

She paused for a moment, then her face lit up with joy: "This is a remittance check from Sanbao Company? Wei Zuo is so efficient, getting Jinbao San to settle the debt in the time it takes to eat a meal? Wait, why is there an extra million?"

"Mr. Li, actually..."

Before Zhou Qian could explain what had happened, a scream suddenly rang out from the bedroom in the hallway.

"You pervert! Get out!"

"That's... my cousin's voice?!" Li Qiuchan was startled. Without bothering to ask about the origin of the check, she rushed to the bedroom in the hallway.

The moment she pushed open the door, she was completely dumbfounded.

A young woman with a youthful face and large breasts was wrapped tightly in a bath towel, which accentuated her curvaceous figure. Her skin was as white as snow, and her long, wet hair fell casually over her shoulders, exuding a pure yet alluring charm.

Her pretty face was flushed red as she stared at Su Hao, who was shirtless, her eyes filled with shock and anger.

"Cousin, why is there a strange man in my bedroom?!"

Li Qiuchan didn't even understand why she was in her own villa, let alone what she was seeing.

She glared at Su Hao fiercely: "What did you do?"

Su Hao complained, sounding aggrieved, "Wife, I was taking off my clothes to take a shower when this lecherous woman rushed out of the bathroom and saw my naked body!"

"You perverted bastard, how dare you cry 'stop thief' while being the thief yourself?"

Song Xiaoxiao stomped her feet in anger, and the bath towel almost couldn't cover the huge parentheses.

"Wait? Wife?"

She belatedly realized what was happening, and looked at Li Qiuchan with a bewildered expression, asking incredulously, "Cousin! Why did he call you 'wife'? What's your relationship?"

Li Qiuchan's cheeks flushed; she felt both embarrassed and helpless.

"Xiaoxiao, this matter is a bit complicated. I'll explain it to you later."

As she spoke, she slightly raised her beautiful leg and kicked Su Hao: "What are you still standing there for? Get dressed and get out!"

"Wow, I was taken advantage of so badly, and now I have to flee the scene?"

"Shut up!"

Li Qiuchan glared at her angrily: "I haven't even settled the score with you for flirting with your female colleagues yet! Get out of here before I lose my temper!"

"No, when did I start flirting with...?"

"Let's go!"

Li Qiuchan shoved Su Hao out the door, not giving him a chance to speak at all.

Only she, Zhou Qian, and Song Xiaoxiao remained in the bedroom, creating an awkward atmosphere.

"Cousin, tell me, what exactly happened?"

Li Qiuchan told the truth: "His name is Su Hao. We just met yesterday, but because we have a marriage contract, I can now be considered his fiancée..."

"Cousin, have you been bewitched? How could you get engaged to a man so hastily?"

Song Xiaoxiao was furious: "I heard Grandpa was critically ill, so I rushed back from out of town overnight, planning to take a shower and then visit the Li family. But what you did was abandon Grandpa and bring a strange man home instead!"

"Don't be angry, things aren't what you think."

Li Qiuchan stepped forward to comfort him and said softly, "My engagement with Su Hao was arranged by your maternal grandfather a long time ago, but he never told you. Then, your maternal grandfather's illness was cured yesterday, and the person who cured him was Su Hao."

Upon hearing this, Song Xiaoxiao looked completely disbelieving.

"Him? He looks to be barely twenty, not even fully grown yet. Could he possibly cure Grandpa's illness?"

"I really didn't lie to you." Li Qiuchan immediately took out her phone and opened the video of yesterday's family dinner.

In the video footage, Li Zhongguo appeared energetic and spoke fluently, with his arm around Su Hao's shoulder, showing no signs of illness whatsoever.

"This..." Song Xiaoxiao was completely dumbfounded.

When her aunt video-called her yesterday morning, Li Zhongguo was emaciated and barely alive.

As a result, the critically ill and frail old man made a complete recovery overnight and looked radiant.

This completely overturned her understanding!

Li Qiuchan put away her phone: "Now you believe what I said, right?"

"Even so, he shouldn't just barge into a girl's room like that!" Song Xiaoxiao pouted, still fuming.

Li Qiuchan looked at Zhou Qian and asked, "Secretary Zhou, I also want to know, why was Su Hao in my cousin's bedroom?"

"Mr. Li, it's like this..." Zhou Qian didn't dare to hesitate and recounted the whole story in detail.

After hearing this, Li Qiuchan's head was buzzing.

"You mean, Su Hao not only got the payment and interest back from Sanbao Company, but also stopped Wei Zuo from drugging and assaulting me, and because he was giving me the antidote, he was sweating profusely and wanted to take a shower, which is why he accidentally wandered into my cousin's bedroom?"

"That's about right."

Zhou Qian nodded and said, "He has never been to your villa. I think this is just a misunderstanding."

Li Qiuchan's expression changed several times in just a few seconds, from astonishment to shock, and then from shock to guilt.

Song Xiaoxiao finally understood the whole story.

But she remained skeptical: "I don't believe someone could be that capable. Call him in; I'm going to interrogate him!"

Li Qiuchan also wanted to hear Su Hao's explanation, so after Song Xiaoxiao got dressed, she instructed Zhou Qian to bring Su Hao back into the room.

Who would have thought that this guy's first words would shock the entire audience.

"Wife, an apology won't do any good. My fair skin and delicate bones have been laid bare, my precious chastity is shattered beyond repair. If she doesn't take responsibility, I'm not leaving this house!"
