Chapter Six

What Li Xiuyuan put in the tea was not a hypnotic drug, as Su Xian had thought, but an aphrodisiac mixed with a small amount of hypnotic.

Since he had already made up his mind, he would not treat himself unfairly. After all, what pleasure is there in having a completely unconscious body?

As a result, every time Su Mi was about to pass out, the restless heat flow in her body would bring her back to consciousness. Although it was uncomfortable, she did not completely pass out.

After repeating this twice, Su Mi also found some patterns. Although she was still a young lady, she had also heard of an aphrodisiac. Because of Su Xian’s words before she left, she could probably guess Li Xiuyuan’s plan.

The dose of the aphrodisiac was probably not much; at least she could still move slightly now. She could even feel that the aphrodisiac’s power was probably not at its strongest yet.

Su Mi’s heart was instantly filled with a little hope that she would not completely pass out. She bit her teeth and had to try it no matter what; otherwise, how would she know if she could escape?

Su Mi leaned on her arm, and in front of her was a table full of untouched green porcelain dishes. Her limbs were limp and feverish, but she still tried her best to move her fingers and push the dish closest to the left table edge. It fell to the ground and made a crisp cracking sound in this quiet room.

A warm current then rushed over her body, and Su Mi took advantage of the moment when her consciousness was recovering from the shock. She bit her lip, bent down, and quickly picked up a piece of broken porcelain. She quickly grabbed it and squeezed it tightly in her hand, feeling the sharp pain as the porcelain pierced through her palm.

Su Mi dragged a low stool and stood on it. With her left hand firmly grasping the window frame, she stepped over the window sill with her left leg. When she switched to her right leg, her right hand pressed the broken pieces of porcelain against the wooden edge of the window, wrapped it in her palm, and tightly grasped the edge of the window while using the pressure to keep herself sober.

She didn’t want to die and didn’t dare to look down. She pressed her body tightly against the wall and slowly moved to the left until her left hand touched the eaves of the neighboring window.

Sweat dripped down Su Mi’s forehead and ran down her neck into her collar, glistening in the sunlight shining through the trees. She didn’t have time to pay attention to it, though. She took a deep breath, trying to loosen her grip on the window sill with her right hand. The broken pieces of porcelain were back in her tightly clenched hand. Luckily, it was hot and dry outside, and the roof was solid, so she didn’t dare to breathe too heavily. She pressed against the wall and slowly moved to the left.

Perhaps it was the danger she faced that gave her the strength in her hand that she never knew she had. But she couldn’t be happy about it because she could feel the effects of the aphrodisiac intensifying inside her. The pain in her right hand was beginning to go numb, and she had to move faster.

In a moment of panic, her left hand slipped, and she almost lost her grip. But just in time, her right hand let go of the broken porcelain and grabbed onto the eaves of the window.

She watched the small piece of broken porcelain fall from the roof and breathed a sigh of relief. She finally struggled to climb into the adjacent room, almost as if she had fallen in. She recalled the perilous process she had just gone through, which had only lasted a few seconds, but she felt as though she had exhausted all her strength.

The aphrodisiac in her body began to take effect, and Su Mi lifted her heavy eyelids and glanced around the empty room. Fortunately, the drug had a certain time limit, and she just had to endure it.

She climbed onto the bed and wrapped herself tightly in the blue flower quilt on top. The drug gradually took effect, and it felt like a million little snakes were crawling around her limbs, causing her to moan and groan uncontrollably

“Sir, the upstairs guest room is ready, and the food will be served soon.” The speaker was Feng Bao, a delicate eunuch who was holding an umbrella for Qin Yan in front of the government office.

“Mm.”

Qin Yan had already changed into black regular clothes at this time, and his handsome face showed little expression. He casually folded his sleeve cuffs with his fair, slender hands. He had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and his appearance and demeanor were both top-notch. If he were wearing official clothes, others would have dared not scrutinize him closely, but now that he is only dressed in civilian clothes, everyone in the hall stared at him as he walked up the stairs to the second floor. When they couldn’t see him anymore, they couldn’t help but sigh. When did such a person come to Jiangling City?

Feng Bao unlocked the door for Qin Yan and then retreated. He had been taking care of Qin Yan’s daily life and meals, and he never spoke much. Because of this, Qin Yan kept him around to serve for five years. In the empty hallway, Qin Yan pushed the door halfway and caught a faint scent of blood mixed with the fragrance of women’s makeup coming from the woman inside. He paused for a moment and then smirked. It seemed that there was a guest.

Bang! He slammed the door shut from the inside with his palm. The window was wide open, and a trail of bloody drips led to the simple wooden bed inside the room. The blue floral quilt was raised in the shape of a curved figure, and faint moans of a woman could be heard. Qin Yan coldly chuckled and walked forward. He wanted to see what gifts those people had brought him this time. He lifted the quilt and indeed found a woman inside. Although she was not completely undressed, there was not much difference. The apricot-colored dress had scattered blood stains, apparently from her palms. The dress was disheveled, and her clothes had been twisted out of shape by herself. Especially at the collar, there was no coverage, revealing her smooth and white neck and her almost exposed creamy mounds, which were so deep and alluring that it made people’s mouths dry.

At this moment, Su Mi had not yet reached the effective period of the aphrodisiac, and she suddenly felt light on her body. When she opened her eyes, she saw a man staring at her. His pitch-black eyes were like a bottomless vortex that slowly swallowed her consciousness. The man emitted a cold sandalwood fragrance that seemed to relieve the heat in her body. She wanted to get closer to him. He satisfied her quickly, for she felt a cold sensation on her jaw.

Qin Yan lifted Su Mi’s chin. Her hair was messy, revealing a beautiful face with rosy cheeks and black and white eyes that were wet and looked innocent. Her lips were slightly parted, and her chest trembled up and down, exposing patches of snow-white skin that were both pitiful and seductive.

“No one has ever sent me a woman before”, Qin Yan said with a playful smile, though his eyes had no trace of amusement. “It’s a pity to waste your beauty”,

He let go of her hand without hesitation.

Su Mi couldn’t hear clearly what the man in front of her was saying, but she knew she wanted his cold touch again.

She stretched out her hand to grab Qin Yan’s arm, holding it tightly like an ice-cold chestnut popsicle.

“What are you doing?’ Qin Yan’s voice turned cold.

If Feng Bao were here, he would know that Qin Yan was angry. The most famous characteristic of Eastern Bureau Chief Qin Yan was his fluctuating mood. He might be smiling, but that didn’t necessarily mean he was happy. But Feng Bao knew that if he ever put on a serious face, he was definitely not happy.

But Su Mi was reluctant to let go. She held onto his arm tightly, pressing it against her chest and muttering incoherently.

“Hold me… Ice cream…”

If it were any other day, Qin Yan would have killed her, but today. He needed her to be conscious before he could figure out who sent her.

Qin Yan furrowed his eyebrows and forcibly removed her hand, throwing it back onto the bed.

At that moment, there was a sudden knock at the door.
