Reborn and fleeing for his life, he unexpectedly knocks on the door of the prince of Beijing's

inside the car.

Chen Ze turned the air conditioner up to the maximum.

Gong Xiaochen used a towel to wipe Wen Shengsheng's hair and cheeks, then took out a first-aid kit from the car and began to disinfect and apply medicine to the wound on Wen Shengsheng's forehead.

"Who did it?"

Wen Shengsheng didn't want to talk.

"If you don't tell me, I'll drive right into the Xi residence and ask Xi Yu!"

Threatened by him again, Wen Shengsheng moved her lifeless eyes and said sullenly.

"I argued with Xi Maokun for a bit, and he hit me with a teacup."

Gong Xiaochen paused in applying the medicine, his sharp eyes darkening slightly.

"Is your brother Yu eating shit? Are you just going to stand there and watch?"

She was already in a bad mood, but when she heard Gong Xiaochen say that, Wen Shengsheng couldn't help but look at him.

"I never expected Young Master Gong to swear."

Gong Xiaochen glared at her. "I know a lot more."

"You're usually very quiet at the Xi family's house, so what made you argue with Xi Maokun?" he asked.

After applying the medicine, the bleeding on her forehead had stopped. Wen Shengsheng lowered her head and played with her hands.

"Nothing, just a little thing."

"What trivial matter?" Gong Xiaochen was clearly not going to let her off the hook.

"My business."

Gong Xiaochen threw away the cotton swab in his hand and turned her face towards him.

"What's wrong with you? You won't even tell me this? Do you hate me that much?"

Wen Shengsheng really didn't want to say it.

She felt that if she told him that she was arguing with Xi Maokun in order to stay at Qingshan Capital, her last shred of defense and self-respect would be completely trampled on.

Seeing that Wen Shengsheng's face still looked lifeless.

Gong Xiaochen felt inexplicably irritable.

"Wen Shengsheng, what exactly do you want? What do you want me to do to talk to me properly?"

“This is how it should be between us.” Wen Shengsheng shook off his hand and turned her face away. “You protect me, and I work for you. It’s that simple.”

After speaking, she slowly moved to the side, holding onto the chair.

She didn't want to sit on Gong Xiaochen's lap.

Gong Xiaochen immediately tightened his iron arms, holding her tightly in his embrace.

"If you dare to move again, I'll take you right here!"

A suppressed aura slowly emanated from Gong Xiaochen, like a heavy dark cloud before a storm, enveloping the entire space.

He stared coldly at Wen Shengsheng, not missing a single change in her expression.

Hearing these lewd words, Chen Ze, who was driving ahead, felt a chill run down his spine and immediately reached out and pressed a button on the center console.

The partition in the carriage slowly rose, creating a closed space between Wen Shengsheng and Gong Xiaochen.

You can't earn it, and you can't escape it.

Feeling hot and cold all over, Wen Shengsheng suddenly gave up struggling and weakly leaned back into Gong Xiaochen's arms.

"Whatever, I'm tired."

“I’m tired of you being like this.” Gong Xiaochen rarely expressed his feelings. “Why don’t you want to hear any explanation? It’s just a matter of a few words, but you always treat me with this cold attitude. Do you really hate me that much?”

The rain outside the car window was falling harder and harder, the raindrops pattering against the glass, adding to the tense atmosphere.

Seeing that Wen Shengsheng didn't answer him, Gong Xiaochen could only turn his head to look at her.

That's when I discovered it.

Her face was flushed, and she had already fainted.

"Chen Ze, drive faster!"

Gong Xiaochen lowered the partition and urged him on.

Upon receiving the instruction, Chen Ze immediately increased his speed.

While in a coma, Wen Shengsheng felt her world spinning around her, her body sometimes burning hot and sometimes freezing cold, tormenting her repeatedly.

Memories of my previous life kept surfacing in my mind; sometimes it was my parents, sometimes it was Xi Yu.

Her parents seemed to be talking about something, but Wen Shengsheng couldn't hear them.

She was chasing too fast and accidentally stepped into a dark abyss.

Fortunately, a strong, dry hand grabbed her, giving her a sliver of support and reliance in the endless darkness.

"Wen Shengsheng".

At the same time, a low and urgent shout rang out, and she opened her eyes.

"Sheng Sheng, Wen Sheng Sheng".

Gong Xiaochen called her name twice more.

Having been in darkness for too long, Wen Shengsheng instinctively turned her head away when her eyes were suddenly exposed to light.

He saw Gong Xiaochen by the bedside.

"Finally awake." Xie Yi, who was also nearby, sat down in a chair with a sigh of relief.

Looking around, Wen Shengsheng realized that she had returned to Courtyard No. 7, but not to the guest room on the first floor, but to the master bedroom of Gong Xiaochen on the second floor.

"You're healing, let go of my hand first."

Gong Xiaochen offered a suggestion.

A sharp pain shot through the back of her hand. Looking down, Wen Shengsheng saw that she was tightly gripping one of Gong Xiaochen's hands, which was placed against her chest.

She immediately loosened her grip and let go of Gong Xiaochen's hand.

"What's wrong with me?" she asked.

"She was too weak, had a high fever, and got caught in the rain, so she fainted," Xie Yi explained as he took out a stethoscope to examine her.

"We've given you several bottles of medicine, and thankfully the fever has subsided temporarily. But we can't let our guard down. Your body is weak right now, and there's a high chance that the fever will return."

"Thank you, Dr. Xie." Wen Shengsheng listened silently, her mind still a little confused.

"No, I can't accept this credit. Our CEO Gong took care of you all night without taking off his clothes. That's what you call hard work."

Wen Shengsheng: "......"

She didn't dare to look at Gong Xiaochen, so she awkwardly turned her head to look elsewhere, only to find that she was actually lying on Gong Xiaochen's bed.

Xu Zhiwei's words from that day suddenly echoed in my ears.

She immediately struggled to sit up. "I'll go back to my guest room on the first floor."

Xie Yi and Gong Xiaochen were slightly taken aback when they realized that Wen Shengsheng's first thing to do after waking up was to go back to her room.

Immediately, Gong Xiaochen pressed down on her body.

"Lie back down, you still have an IV drip in your hand."

Xie Yi's eyes darted back and forth between the two of them, then, as if he had thought of something, he quickly said, "I still have some things to do at the hospital, so I'll head back first."

“I’ve left all the medicine here, Miss Wen. You need to rest more now, so don’t be picky about your bed. Sleep wherever you’re comfortable.”

As he spoke, he packed his things, raised an eyebrow at Gong Xiaochen, and then left in a flash.

In an instant, only Gong Xiaochen and Wen Shengsheng remained in the spacious room.

Gong Xiaochen's hand was still on Wen Shengsheng's shoulder.

A sudden silence fell, and the two stared at each other in bewilderment.

"Lie back down," Gong Xiaochen ordered, looking at her.

"I think I'll go down."

"The whole villa belongs to me, so it doesn't matter where you sleep."

Wen Shengsheng really wanted to say, "Isn't this bed off-limits to other women? It's not appropriate for her to sleep here."

But thinking about it that way makes me feel very humiliated.

In the end, all I could do was huff and puff and say one thing.

"You said it yourself, just don't regret it when you come back." She looked straight at Gong Xiaochen, then lay back down on her side.

"Regret?" Gong Xiaochen laughed. "Regret what? You're so weak, and you're still planning to pounce on me here?"

"Heh~ Maybe so, after all, I already tainted your innocence before."

Gong Xiaochen was silent for a moment, then suddenly leaned in from behind.

"It seems that having a fever wasn't entirely useless; at least it cleared your head."

His breath was hot, and when he spoke, it landed right next to Wen Shengsheng's ear, making her feel a tingling sensation.

Wen Shengsheng felt a little uncomfortable and moved forward, but was pulled back by Gong Xiaochen.

The next moment, his warm lips were already engulfing Wen Shengsheng's snow-white ear.
