After being unconscious for an unknown period of time, Wen Xiaoya woke up, tormented by the heat in her body. Her body felt as soft as cotton.
The crystal lamp refracted a dim warm color, the pleasant smell of pine needles and sandalwood relieved some of the pain.
The deep and shallow wounds on her body had been carefully taken care of. Bless the gods that would never ignore every strong and brave person.
The sound of the shower not too far away suddenly stopped. A man with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and a tall strong figure walked over, with the light of the bathroom that shined behind him.
"Who are you?" Wen Xiaoya asked in a low voice. Her voice was very weak.
"You don't even know who I am, and you dared let me take you away?" The man's voice was deep and magnetic. He wore a navy blue bathrobe, and his long legs were sat crossed on the bed. He sat more casually by the bed, one arm propped over the pillow, and he looked sideways at Wen Xiaoya.
Anyone with eyes could tell that this man was good-looking. It could be from his short black hair, his fair skin, and red lips. Even more so on the perfect curves of his chest and abdominal muscles that were exposed by the open bathrobe.
All in all, this scene made Cang Lan come to that conclusion. He was like a monster that charmed all living things.
The man raised his hand to touch Wen Xiaoya's forehead, as he thought that she had a high fever.
"Give it to me, I beg you, I need your help!" The next second, Wen Xiaoya lost control and grabbed the man's palm desperately, just like a hiker who was dying in the desert and who had just seen a mirage. Then, she licked it hungrily.
The man was surprised by her behavior, suddenly, he had thought of something. He leaned over and pressed her down, his knees pressed against her thighs, and his hands subdued her wrists.
"You're poisoned, with pleasurable hormones. I can help you cure it, but you have to agree to one condition."
The lethal poison in Wen Xiaoya's body was stimulated by the male hormones at close range. Those physiological reactions that she had barely suppressed were like an avalanche that could not be stopped.
She was very clear that her life was hanging by a thread now. All kinds of unwillingness and regret in her past and present life had made her want to live more than anyone else.
"As long as you can get me past this gate of Hell, just say it!"
"Really? Then what if I say that I want you to marry me?" The man leaned closer to her beautiful face with interest.
Wen Xiaoya never would never have thought that this option would be the condition to help her. Now, in order to survive and for her to get revenge, she did not care about the trivial matters of whether she married or not.
Love had long died multiple times in the bottom of her heart.
"I promise you, but when I am more awake, it's best to sign a prenuptial agreement that both parties would agree on. As long as we don't talk about love and personal freedom, marriage is just a form of paper. Do you understand?" Wen Xiaoya had to be sure that this exchange of pleasantries did not carry any personal feelings and would not affect any personal interests of either party.
The man was silent for a moment. He thoughts bout what she had said, and was suddenly curious about this little girl who was in her early twenties.
From being chased, to being seriously injured, and then being laced by poison, most people would already be on the verge of death. However, she, who had lasted until now, was brazen enough to actually think so carefully and say such wise words.
What an interesting woman.
"Deal."
For the next week, Wen Xiaoya did not get out of bed. The butler and servants delivered five meals a day that was all nutritious to the room at regular intervals.
After a while, 70% of the 'pleasure' part in the venom pill given by her 'friends' had been neutralized. She had finally survived this life-threatening situation!
She continued to recuperate at the man's house. According to the list given by Wen Xiaoya, the butler had also sent over the chemical agents and equipment to detoxify the poison.
She made medicine for herself in her room, and at the same time, she did not forget to take special supplements to treat her health.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Cang Lan used to rely on her high IQ to build the Cang Zhou Company. She had many product lines, and every one of them was made from her own research and development that was original.
In terms of being a genius, she was proficient in medical skills and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
At the same time, she had synthesized two drugs that were potent with 'pleasure', it was similar to what she was given. Han Mimi and Mai Geng had painstakingly spent a lot of money to buy such a rare poison for her. It should only be courteous that Wen Xiaoya returned the favor. Moreover, she believed that it would come in handy very soon.
