Noon, the blazing sun is high overhead.

In the luxurious "Emperor's Brocade" villa, a second-floor room.

Shang Jian is wringing out a towel, dabbing the body of a man lying on the bed.

The man is tall and straight, his skin a bronze colour, his eight-pack abs firm but not overly exaggerated, quite comparable to an international supermodel.

Especially those long legs, they're just downright "forbidding desire" material.

It's a pity, however, that such a perfect figure is owned by... a middle-aged ‘uncle’!

"It doesn't look like it. He really seems more like the ‘long-legged oppa’ from the Korean dramas; how can he be an uncle?"

While secretly sighing to herself, Shang Jian could not help but scrutinize the silver mask covering half of the man's face.

She very much wanted to reach out and lift the mask off his face, getting a clear look at his entire appearance.

But her hand froze halfway there.

She remembered the contract she signed when she first applied for this job.

The contract stipulated one rule: she couldn't pry into the master's personal affairs, or there would be a penalty for breaking the contract, to the tune of one million!

To Shang Jian, that sum was astronomical.

She is in desperate need of money right now.

Because her mother is in the hospital waiting for life-saving treatment.

She escaped the arranged marriage by her stepmother and father to work as a caregiver, purely for the sake of earning enough money for medical expenses. If she were to lose it all due to this, it would not be worth the loss indeed.

Thus, all of her curiosity was completely shattered in this moment!

She quickly withdrew her hand, and started to focus on the work in hand.

Shortly, Shang Duan Duan finished bathing the man.

She left the towel by the washbowl, and started massaging him to relax his limbs.

The man's body was somewhat unique, maintaining a constant icy state, unlike the normal human body temperature.

Additionally, he was in a continuous unconscious state, requiring the doctor to come regularly for his treatments.

For the long period that Shang Duan Duan had been here, she had not seen him awake.

If it weren't for the fact that she can still detect his breath and pulse, she would almost mistake him for being dead!

"I have never encountered such a situation like this before in my life!"

As Shang Duan Duan murmured to herself, she was skillfully massaging his arm.

Her strength was moderate, her technique appropriate, after doing it a few times, the man's body started to relax slightly. His body temperature seemed to be slightly warmed up, a shade of red appearing on his pale skin.

Shang Duan Duan finished massaging his arm and continued on to his legs.

She had done this set of massage routines many times, and there had never been any issues.

Unexpectedly, five minutes later, the man's body began to exhibit an abnormal heat.

His body temperature soared upward as his skin became scorching to the touch.

"How could this happen?"

Shang DuanDuan got a heart-stopping shock, quickly turning around in haste, intending to call someone over to have a look.

But she'd barely taken two steps when her wrist was seized.

The man who had previously been lying unconscious on the bed suddenly opened his eyes at this moment.

He's... awake!

Shang DuanDuan was so terrified that she nearly screamed.

But before the scream could leave her lips, a strong force suddenly yanked her forward.

At this moment, the man seemed to have no control over his actions.

His eyes were tinged with a slight redness, his breathing was heavy, and the veins on his forehead were slightly bulging, as if he was enduring some great torment and pain.

The force in his hand intensified, as if he were about to crush Shang DuanDuan's bones.

Shang DuanDuan was completely dumbfounded, struggling hard, trying to push him away.

Yet the man remained immovable.

"What are you doing? Let me go..."

Shang DuanDuan couldn't help exclaiming.

The man seemed oblivious.

Reacting instinctively, he leaned in and kissed her…

“No… don’t! Don’t do this to me…”

Shang Duan Duan struggled more intensely, but it was in vain.

A surge of pain came, and the tears of humiliation finally beared no restraint, bursting from her eyes…

She did not understand, how did things turned out this way!

She was obviously here just to be a caregiver, but this man… took advantage of her in such a way.

…

An hour later, the atmosphere in the room dispersed.

Shang Duan Duan hastily dressed and ran out without looking back.

The doorman, seeing her dishevelled appearance, paused and promptly asked: “What happened?”

Her eyes filled with indignation, tears streaming down her face as she bit her lip, she left without uttering a word.

The doorman looked puzzled into the room…

A room full of disorder, and the figure slowly sitting upright on the bed!

The doorman turned pale, quickly taking out his phone to make a call, “Assistant, come quickly! The boss… the boss is awake!”
