The Counterattack of a Wealthy Family's Substitute

Xi Yuanchen was standing by the window smoking when Yao Yingxi pushed the door open and entered, but he didn't move an inch.

This was the first time Yao Yingxi had seen him smoke, and she was a little surprised, but she quickly felt indifferent.

Xi Yuanchen didn't move, so Yao Yingxi mustered up her courage and walked towards her step by step.

She was actually very happy tonight. She had waited so long to see the Xu family in such a sorry state, and she was the one who had made them look so pathetic. She felt a great sense of relief, so much so that she wasn't opposed to what she was going to do next.

“Mr. Xi,” Yao Yingxi stopped behind Xi Yuanchen and asked, “Are you angry?”

"Please don't be angry with me, okay?" Yao Yingxi said, but Xi Yuanchen didn't respond.

He didn't respond, and Yao Yingxi didn't care. She took another step forward, reached out and wrapped her arms around his lean waist, pressing her body against his firm back. Because she had just taken a shower, her usually clear voice had a slight nasal tone, sounding somewhat lazy and alluring: "I was wrong, I will never dare to do it again."

"Heh..." Xi Yuanchen sneered, pulled away Yao Yingxi's arms from around him, turned around to look at her, his face expressionless: "You won't dare to do it again? Do you know that no woman has ever dared to lie to me before!"

Yao Yingxi has been following Xi Yuanchen for almost two months. She knows a little bit about Xi Yuanchen, but that's all.

Seeing Xi Yuanchen's calm demeanor, Yao Yingxi knew he was truly angry.

But seeing his angry expression, she felt completely uncertain. Suddenly, she panicked a little, but remembering how Xi Yuanchen had helped her at the Xu family, she mustered her courage again.

The medicine she had taken was beginning to take effect. Yao Yingxi looked at Xi Yuanchen, reached out and hooked her arm around his neck, looked up at him, and clearly reflected his image in her clear eyes: "I know I was wrong."

Yao Yingxi said something else, then stood on tiptoe and tentatively kissed Xi Yuanchen's lips.

She really doesn't know how to kiss. Although she's a little better now than before, she still doesn't know how.

She licked and kissed Xi Yuanchen's lips little by little. When she tried to pry open his lips and tongue, somehow her teeth hit his thin lips, and suddenly, the taste of blood filled their mouths.

Yao Yingxi felt embarrassed. She opened her eyes and looked into his clear gaze, wanting to pull away from his mouth. Just as she was about to leave, Xi Yuanchen held the back of her head and kissed her again.

Soon, the temperature between the two rose.

Xi Yuanchen led Yao Yingxi to the bedroom. He pushed her onto the bed and instinctively reached for the bedside drawer to get something, but his body tensed up instantly before he could even get it.

The effects of the drug had fully taken hold in her body. In a daze, Yao Yingxi instinctively kissed Xi Yuanchen. She looked up and bit Xi Yuanchen's Adam's apple with a light but firm touch, then groaned in discomfort.

Xi Yuanchen's whole body tensed up, and all the blood rushed to his body. He looked down and saw that Yao Yingxi's face was flushed and her body temperature was higher than before.

A thought flashed through his mind, and Xi Yuanchen gritted his teeth, looking at Yao Yingxi and saying, "You took your medicine again?"

Yao Yingxi took a small dose of medicine this time. When she heard Xi Yuanchen's words, her face turned pale, and she did not reply.

"Go to hell!" Xi Yuanchen stared at Yao Yingxi's silent expression, swore, and got off Yao Yingxi without hesitation, grabbed his clothes and strode away.

After watching Xi Yuanchen leave with a gloomy expression, Yao Yingxi sat up in a daze, clutching her disheveled clothes.

Burying her head in her arms, Yao Yingxi felt extremely embarrassed as waves of heat washed over her.

Feeling increasingly unwell and with her breathing becoming more rapid, Yao Yingxi bit her lip, got out of bed, and hurried to the bathroom.

She turned on the shower directly, and cold water poured down from above her head, the alternating sensations of hot and cold washing over her in waves.

She didn't know how much time had passed before the heat in her body disappeared. Yao Yingxi was so cold that her teeth were chattering, and her head was spinning so much that everything in front of her was blurry. She dragged her exhausted body out of the bathroom and collapsed onto the bed.

…………

Xi Yuanchen sped up to 120 miles per hour, the surrounding scenery rushing past him, his face grim and ugly as anger and lust intertwined.

The phone suddenly rang in his ear. Xi Yuanchen glanced at it, answered, and said in a cold voice, "What is it?"

Su Che was taken aback by his voice, then laughed: "Oh, so in such a bad mood in the middle of the night? Is it because of disharmony in your sex life, or do you not have sex at all and have nowhere to release your pent-up emotions, so you're in a bad mood?"

As soon as Su Che finished speaking, Xi Yuanchen hung up the phone with a "click".

Xi Yuanchen suddenly turned the car around and drove back the way it came.

An hour later, Xi Yuanchen returned to the apartment.

He strode back to the bedroom, his gaze falling on Yao Yingxi, who was sleeping on the bed. He walked over and yanked off her blanket: "Yao Yingxi, get up!"

Yao Yingxi remained motionless, which infuriated Xi Yuanchen. He reached out to grab her arm. Then, he paused, leaned down, and touched Yao Yingxi's forehead, which was as hot as burning charcoal.

"Yao Yingxi? Yao Yingxi?" Xi Yuanchen turned Yao Yingxi around and reached out to pat her face.

Yao Yingxi was feeling very uncomfortable. When Xi Yuanchen patted her, she opened her eyes and looked at him.

"You have a fever?" Xi Yuanchen's anxiety subsided a little when he saw her wake up. "Get up, I'll take you to the hospital."

"I'm not going to the hospital." Yao Yingxi frowned upon hearing this. Her eyes were red, and her thoughts were much slower than usual. She stared at Xi Yuanchen for a while before speaking uncertainly, "Xi Yuanchen?"

"Are you planning to burn yourself to death if you don't go to the hospital?" Xi Yuanchen asked with a gloomy face, gritting his teeth as he pulled her up and reached for her coat to put it on her.

Yao Yingxi felt weak all over, and as soon as she sat up, everything in front of her began to spin. Her voice changed due to the discomfort, and she choked up a little: "I don't want to go to the hospital, I don't want to go!"

Xi Yuanchen released her, and she fell backward and landed back on the bed.

She curled up, hugging herself tightly, her body shivering from the cold.

Xi Yuanchen looked at her coldly, wishing he could lift her out of bed and give her a good beating, but he still reached out and pulled the blanket over her, then turned to make a phone call.
