Was the man a scumbag who tricked her into marriage? A powerful man brought his child to her door de

How could she be considered alright in this state?

Bathed in darkness, Zhou Li'an hadn't noticed anything wrong with her, but now, looking at her face through the bright moonlight, he could clearly see an abnormal blush on her cheeks.

"You've been drugged?"

Having learned from his previous experience, Zhou Li'an quickly realized what was going on.

Bai Xuxu said weakly, "Um, don't come near me."

"I'll take you to the hospital."

She was almost unable to stand, and Zhou Li'an, knowing that she was most sensitive to men getting close to her right now, still couldn't bear it and went forward to support her again.

"Need not."

In her current condition, she won't be able to get to the hospital before she can take it anymore.

Bai Xuxu forced herself to calm down, her throat hoarse as she asked, "Could you make a phone call for me?"

She must have left her phone in her hotel room; she only realized it was missing when she went up to the rooftop.

I didn't originally want to use that method to detoxify.

It seems now that I have no choice but to find that man.

Zhou Li'an nodded. "Okay, who do you want to call?"

Bai Xuxu uttered three words from her throat: "Jie—Lan—Yuan!"

Even knowing her relationship with Xie Lanyuan, Zhou Li'an's heart still tightened. After a few seconds, he nodded, "Okay, give me the phone."

Ten minutes later.

The sound of hurried footsteps came from the stairwell.

Even though she didn't see who it was, Bai Xuxu knew it was Xie Lanyuan.

She was almost at her limit, her body limp and weak as she leaned against Zhou Li'an. The burning sensation felt like it was about to devour her, and her consciousness was gradually fading away.

The effects of the drug were far more terrifying than she had anticipated.

If the antidote can't suppress it, then so be it.

Its staying power is still so strong.

Zhuang Yufen said that it was a high-quality product imported from abroad.

She couldn't even imagine how many people would be harmed if this drug were allowed to get out!

"here."

As a gust of cold wind blew in, Zhou Li'an's voice came to my ears.

The next second, she felt the support she was leaning on be pushed away, and her body was instantly suspended in the air, slowly falling to the ground.

A large hand encircled her waist, the burning heat making her even more uncomfortable. When she bumped into that strong, broad chest, her lips couldn't help but brush against it.

"A-Yuan~"

Seeing her in a state of confusion, Jie Lanyuan's handsome face surged with terrifying anger, and his sharp eyes landed dangerously on Zhou Li'an.

Zhou Li'an shuddered and quickly said, "Don't misunderstand, I didn't do anything."

"She was leaning against you the whole time?"

Jie Lanyuan's voice was cold, as if it had been pulled up from an abyss.

Zhou Li'an explained, "My senior was unsteady on her feet, so I just helped her up."

"That would be best."

Jie Lanyuan was aroused by the rubbing against him and didn't want other men to see his woman's seductive behavior, so he domineeringly picked up the restless woman in his arms and carried her horizontally.

Before leaving, he turned back and said ominously, "From now on, stay away from her."

Xie Lanyuan walked quickly, disappearing at the exit in a few steps.

Zhou Li'an stood still, not moving for a long time.

But those hands couldn't help but clench into fists.

Even though she knew it was impossible for him, seeing Xie Lanyuan take Bai Xuxu away still brought a pang of pain to her heart.

How ridiculous!

What is he still hoping for?

The phone rang at that moment.

He picked it up and quickly answered, "Hey, bro."

"Where are you? I can't find you anywhere."

Zhou Lishu's voice came through the microphone.

Tonight, the brothers came to the seminar together. Zhou Lishu wanted to help his career and introduced him to many experts in the industry.

"On the rooftop," he said truthfully.

"Come down, I'll take you to meet Mr. Xie. If you can gain his favor, it will be of great benefit to your future."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Li'an could hardly contain his excitement.

I had heard that Mr. Zhou would be attending tonight, but I didn't expect him to actually come.

He had always hoped to become Mr. Xie's last disciple and work with He Xing, but he could never find the opportunity.

Now that we have this perfect opportunity, how could he not be happy?

"Okay, I'll be right down."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Li'an went downstairs as fast as he could.

At this moment, Bai Xuxu was completely dazed, her hands tightly wrapped around Jie Lanyuan's neck, kissing him with hazy eyes.

"It's hot, so hot..."

Xie Lanyuan carried her into the elevator, his eyes bloodshot. "Now you know to come to me? Where were you all this time?"

His face was very gloomy, and he used his strong willpower to resist her advances.

Bai Xuxu couldn't listen to anything right now; all she knew was that she was in great pain and needed to be freed from the inferno as soon as possible.

She began instinctively tearing at Jie Lanyuan's shirt haphazardly.

"Help."

"Bear with it." Xie Lanyuan gritted his teeth.

But Bai Xuxu, who had lost her mind, wouldn't listen. Her little hands wandered all over his body, setting him on fire everywhere.

Xie Lanyuan couldn't hold back any longer and cursed, "Damn it!"

Soon, the elevator arrived at the first floor.

Jie Lanyuan carried Bai Xuxu out and bumped into Lin Huan who was walking in.

Lin Huan had been searching everywhere for Bai Xuxu since earlier, and now that he saw her in Jie Lanyuan's arms, his heart finally settled down.

"How is Xuxu?"

Xie Lanyuan said in a hoarse voice, "This is not good. I'll take her away now, and you can help explain to Mr. Xie later."

Lin Huan understood. "You can leave without worry. I'll handle the aftermath."

Xie Lanyuan didn't say anything more and quickly left the venue with Bai Xuxu.

If he had been any later, this woman would have devoured him completely.

Lin Huan watched them leave, then turned to go find Xie Sheng. But as soon as she turned her head, she saw Jiang Shiyan standing behind her, and was startled.

"General Manager Jiang."

Jiang Shiyan raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong, Miss Bai?"

The scandal that happened upstairs has been suppressed by Xie Lanyuan.

As the investor in this seminar, how could Jie Lanyuan let Lin Qingyi ruin such an important occasion?

Not long ago, Lin Huan also witnessed Mu Nan having arranged for people to kick Lin Qingyi and Young Master Zhu out.

Although news is flying everywhere online.

Some people chatted privately, but the atmosphere of the seminar remained unchanged and was not affected by the sudden change.

"It's nothing, she's just tired," Lin Huan offered an excuse.

Jiang Shiyan was skeptical, but didn't ask any further questions.

No matter what happens to Bai Xuxu, with Jie Lanyuan around, she will be safe.

"The ball is about to begin. Would I have the honor of inviting Miss Lin to dance?" As soon as Jiang Shiyan finished speaking, the entire venue fell silent.

Immediately, beautiful music began to play.

After Bai Xuxu and Xie Lanyuan left, Lin Huan was still worried. After thinking for a moment, she agreed, "Okay."
