The weather was gloomy, a mighty wind blustering about, signifying an unusually restless night in this most prosperous city.
Inside a luxurious five-star hotel, Si Jiajia slowly opened her eyes. In the darkness, her eyes shone surprisingly bright. Where was she? That was the first question that came to her mind upon awakening.
The atmosphere around her was eerily silent, one could probably hear a pin drop. Where on earth was she? This wasn’t her home. As her consciousness became clearer, Si Jiajia immediately got up to investigate. By her senses, she was the only one in the room; there was no one else.
She couldn’t care less, her priority was to leave this place. Si Jiajia did a quick check of her body and found no signs of injury.
She stepped lightly, slowly moving towards the door.
She had no idea how she ended up here, but her intuition told her it wasn’t good news!
Just when she was about to open the door, a tough-looking man with Southeast Asian features suddenly appeared at the doorway. Once he saw Si Jiajia, he coldly asked, "Awake? Trying to escape?"
"Who are you? Why am I here?" Si Jiajia asked, warily watching him, her hands tightly clenched.
The man coldly smiled, but didn't answer Si Jiajia's question. He tried to grab hold of her.
Si Jiajia had been prepared for fleeing at any moment. As soon as the man reached out, she jerked, raised her leg, and kicked him between his legs. Capitalizing on his surprise and subsequent crouch due to pain, Si Jiajia quickly ran away.
The hallway was filled with guards, obviously minions of the Southeast Asian man. Seeing Si Jiajia dart out, a few immediately encircled her.
Si Jiajia had no choice but to run, but more and more people were chasing her. She couldn’t keep this up for much longer; she would not be able to escape the scene.
Downstairs, more people joined the pursuit. Shit! She had no idea why these people were relentlessly following her. The Southeast Asian man had also joined in, even shouting: "Catch that woman!"
Si Jiajia ran up a flight of stairs to a seemingly deserted floor. A room had its door ajar. Throwing caution to the wind, Si Jiajia stepped into the room and closed the door, effectively blocking the chasing mob.
After running for so long, she could finally take a breather and check out the kind of room she had stumbled into.
This is a large room, laid with a carpet that oozes luxury at first glance. On the table, a delicate red rose and a bottle of red wine sat, signifying the resident's wealth.
Suddenly, the sound of running water from the bathroom drew Si Jiajia's attention, making her wonder, "Is there someone else in the room?"
Caught off guard, the bathroom door swung open, revealing a sexy man dressed only in a towel, water drops still trickling on him.
My god! This man was incredibly handsome, with sharply defined features, piercing eyes, an exquisite face that could make any woman green with envy, and any man feel inferior.
Furthermore, his tall, masculine body, coupled with his sun-kissed skin speckled with water drops were beyond tempting - he was simply an alluring specimen in this world. Si Jiajia gulped, her focus completely engulfed by his presence, completely forgetting her position as an uninvited guest.
Unfortunately, this extremely charming face held an icy cold expression, his deep gaze fixated on Si Jiajia by the window.
Feeling uneasy under his stare, Si Jiajia tightly bunched her hands together, nervously saying, "I... I didn't know you were showering". She stuttered, blushing in embarrassment.
Having been kidnapped and just about escaping, she ended up stumbling upon a man so irresistible! And it was not really her fault! After all, he left the door open. Si Jiajia was trying to justify her actions.
Chu Yihan's gaze held a touch of danger, his eyes half-closed. Did this woman have a death wish? To dare invade his sanctuary. Should he blame her audacity or her stupidity?
"Get out." His voice was icy cold, devoid of any warmth or emotion. The brisk tone was enough to infuse fear into Si Jiajia.
"I can't leave," Si Jiajia said, her voice trembling. As wrong as it was to barge into someone else's haven, she knew better - the outside world held far more dangerous threats. If she were to step out now, she'd get nabbed again.
In an instance, Chu Yihan's gaze turned icier. "Fine," he retorted. He had yet to meet a woman daring enough to talk back to him like this. He was intrigued to uncover what made her so audacious.
He started moving towards her, unfazed by his loosely wrapped towel.
Witnessing his naked upper body up close, Si Jiajia felt a blush creeping on her face. Never before had she seen a man's body this intimately. At a loss of how to react, all Si Jiajia wished for was to vanish from sight. Yet, she dare not leave this room.
Looking at her awkward expression, her cheeks blushing shyly, she was wearing a goose-yellow knee-length skirt. The lovely color accentuated her fair skin, revealing two slender, beautiful legs. She, however, had no idea how appealing she appeared to men.
Good, this woman even thought of using this trick to catch his attention.
A faint mockery tugged at the corners of his mouth, as his sharp black eyes scornfully watched her as she kept her head down.
Damn woman. Obviously, she came with a purpose. She had been looking at him for so long without showing the slightest shyness.
Si Jiajia could only feel a chill approaching her. When she raised her head again, her vision was blocked.
What appeared before her were the boldly masculine pectoral muscles. The contours of his flexed pecs were striking, tempting one to reach out and feel their firmness.
"Have you seen enough?" Chu Yihan’s face darkened instantly. This woman was completely disregarding him.
Other women would either seek to please him or fear him. But this woman, who had suddenly appeared, was openly ignoring him, fine...
"What?" Si Jiajia raised her head in confusion, suddenly snapping back to reality. Although this man was very handsome, wasn't he somewhat narcissistic? His face was as cold as ice.
Chu Yihan raised an eyebrow, his thin lips curling up: "Playing dumb?"
"I... don't know what you're talking about." Si Jiajia saw the light in his eyes getting darker and felt a bit afraid.
Chu Yihan's icy gaze swept over her, he snorted coldly and reached out to grab her. Immediately, she couldn't move.
Si Jiajia struggled in fear: "What are you going to do... let me go!"
She struggled hard, her hands flailing in mid-air. But his strength was so great that her struggles looked somewhat comical, as he held her tightly.
The man had no intention of being gentle. He dragged her to the door, without any attempt to hide his intentions, he wanted her out.
