Reborn as a concubine's daughter and entering a noble family: Xie Lang, don't be too seduc

"It's not... it's not poison..."

Xie Shu pressed his chest; the intense heat quickly made him realize that he had been poisoned.

That is... ...

Thinking of the only possibility, her face, which was already flushed from the heat, suddenly turned cold.

Huo Sanghua hadn't yet realized what was happening; she only knew Xie Shu was poisoned, but she didn't know what kind of poison. She was still secretly calculating how to get the antidote from Si Qingyue to save Xie Shu...

"Don't worry, everything should be fine for a while. Once they find us, we'll be safe. At that time... I'll find a way to get you the antidote..." Huo Sanghua believed that Si Qingyue didn't want Xie Shu dead, so the medicine wouldn't be some kind of deadly poison that would kill instantly.

But what she never expected was...

Xie Shu was barely holding on to her last shred of consciousness; her face looked terrible.

Huo Sanghua gripped her sleeve and wiped the sweat from his forehead to prevent him from catching a chill, which would hinder his recovery. She simply didn't want Xie Shu to faint again; the howls of wild animals could be heard from outside the cave from time to time, and if Xie Shu was awake, he could give her courage.

Unexpectedly——

Xie Shu grabbed her wrist!

His eyes, which had become much more clouded, gradually overlapped with the image of Hawthorne lying in a pool of blood in his dream!

"big... ..."

Before Hawthorne could even utter the words "Young Master,"...

The next moment, she was stunned by Xie Shu who suddenly rushed up!

Xie Shu pinned him firmly against the cave wall, rendering him completely immobile. The Xie Shu before him was no longer the composed and clear-headed young marquis; he exuded an aura of immense danger.

Especially...

His eyes!

When Huo Sanghua saw his eyes, she was stunned. In Xie Shu's eyes, she saw a ferocity as deep as a wild beast.

He swallowed hard, his nerves churning so badly his hair stood on end. "Has the poison taken effect, young master? You need to be more alert..."

Before she could finish speaking, Xie Shu stared intently at her slightly parted lips, his mind clouded by a sudden impulse, and he lost all reason.

He lost control and kissed her!

Hawthorne's mind went blank.

But she quickly realized what was happening and struggled violently to push Xie Shu away.

But Xie Shu, under the influence of the drug, had bloodshot eyes and completely lost her reason. Driven by a predatory desire, she kissed him wantonly and passionately.

She was already his nominal sister-in-law.

The scene of my first meeting with Hawthorne still lingers in my mind.

From the very first moment he saw her, he seemed to fall into an unprecedented emotional state, unconsciously wanting to get closer and learn more about her!

Xie Lin's words kept repeating in his ears...

Hawthorne, she should have been his wife...

If it weren't for that time...

If something hadn't suddenly come up and he hadn't asked Xie Lin to go in his place to meet Huo Sanghua, then the fates of the three of them wouldn't be like this today...

Huo Sanghua is going to marry Xie Lin.

He had countless reasons to be unwilling, but he never had the chance to say them openly and honestly!

He... ...did not want it to be this way.

Fueled by the drug, he was caught in a moment of infatuation, passionately and frantically kissing Hawthorne's slightly cool lips, giving her no chance to speak...

The slightly sweet taste in her mouth also lingered on his tongue!

Hawthorne was almost out of breath, feeling dizzy, and had no way to resist Xie Shu's powerful plundering.

With her last ounce of consciousness, she mustered all her strength and shoved Xie Shu away. Taking advantage of the moment, she turned her head away, avoiding Xie Shu's advances. She didn't know what was wrong with Xie Shu, but then she suddenly remembered the medicine Xie Shu had just mentioned...

Could it be... that kind of medicine?!

Xie Shu, who had been pushed away by Huo Sanghua, did not immediately regain her composure and let her go.

With his strong arms, he lifted the petite Hawthorne and pressed her against the stone wall, kissing her cheeks and her neck...

"Young Master!... ..." Hawthorne fought back fiercely.

Sudden--

Xie Shu stopped.

His head was buried in Hawthorne's neck, and he was breathing heavily.

He saw the mark on Hawthorne's neck...

In that instant, she regained some of her senses. She then remembered that she and Xie Lin had already gone through the wedding ceremony, and she was Xie Lin's rightful wife...

late.

Or perhaps, it was too late...

Those were traces left by Xie Lin, weren't they...?

Still in shock, Huo Sanghua was terrified and dared not move an inch. Xie Shu's unusual behavior left her at a loss, and she trembled uncontrollably.

Fearing that Xie Shu might do something else at any moment...

Here, there's absolutely no one to turn to for help!

As Xie Shu slowly regained his senses and came to his senses, he saw the person he had pressed down in front of him, trembling uncontrollably, and a wave of regret and astonishment washed over him.

He didn't know why he did such a thing...

He simply forced himself to slowly back away, despite feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Hawthorne collapsed to the ground, her pale face streaked with cold tears, unable to recover for a long time. Xie Shu was filled with remorse. He wanted to reach out to help Hawthorne up, but found that even his outstretched hand startled her, causing her to recoil in a flustered manner...

The burning, uncontrollable feeling in my heart surged up again at this moment.

He was worried that he would hurt the person in front of him again.

Hearing the sound of flowing water outside, he suddenly remembered something, turned around, and ran out of the cave...

Upon hearing a sound of something falling into the stream, Hawthorne reacted, sensing something was wrong—

He couldn't have... jumped into the river, could he?!

He leaned against the stone wall to his feet, his legs trembling so badly he could barely walk. He staggered out of the cave and gazed at the vast expanse of water...

Xie Shu was nowhere to be seen! "Xie... ...Young Master... ...Young Master!"

Could it be that he committed suicide?!

But if I leave her here alone, what if she encounters an assassin... ...or even if it's not an assassin, but some kind of wild beast, she won't be able to handle it!

"Young Master! Xie... Xie Shu! Xie Shu!!" Ignoring all decorum, she anxiously shouted Xie Shu's name towards the water.

Having fully regained his senses in the cold water, Xie Shu slowly climbed ashore...

He collapsed on the shore, completely exhausted, and could only breathe weakly.

"you... ..."

Hawthorne stumbled over, picked up the coat he had thrown on the ground before diving, and covered him with it.

Xie Shu looked up at her, but unexpectedly smiled.

From that moment on, he finally understood his own feelings...

Terrified, Huo Sanghua punched him, tears welling in her eyes, and yelled, "You madman! Do you know what you're doing... Are you out of your mind?! If you die... How am I supposed to explain this to Xie Lin?!"

You can't exactly tell Xie Lin that Xie Shu jumped into the river and committed suicide after trying to save her and leaving the city.

Then Xie Lin has to believe it too...

"I..." Xie Shu sat up, full of apology.

I was just about to apologize to Hawthorne and explain that what had just happened was due to the effects of the medication...

"Young master! Young master..."

Liao Bin's voice came from not far away.

Liao Bin and his men had already searched the surrounding area, looking for his whereabouts.

The words I didn't have a chance to say, I never had the chance to say them again...

"Over here!" Hawthorne stood up and waved his arm at the people who were holding torches and searching for them.

It quickly attracted Liao Bin's attention, and they rushed over.

Xie Lin was also traveling with Liao Bin.
