At this moment, she felt like she was being dunked in a pot of hot water and her whole body was soft. After thinking about it, the paparazzi would not give them any life-threatening drugs, and based on her current situation, she could guess what kind of drugs it was.
"You can't call 120." Song Qingli's voice was soft and her arms were weak. She depended on her weak consciousness and turned on the tap. She fell into the bathtub and soaked herself in cold water.
Her hot body finally felt soothed.
'Knock, knock, knock.'
Mr. Kai knocked on the bathroom door. "Miss Song, say something or I'll kick the door down."
Song Qingli felt that God was going against her. She had already suffered so much in her previous life but she still had to suffer in this life.
The girl held her breath and immersed herself in the tub. If she got through this, she would be a new person but if she didn't, she would rather die again.
The cold water covered her ears and nose but she could not hear anything except the sound of water. She felt like she was a heated piece of iron that could boil a tub of cold water.
Her body felt so uncomfortable that her mind was a mess.
Suddenly, a strong arm wrapped around the girl's back and pulled her out of the tub that was filled with water.
The cold water ran across the girl's face and her skin was dewy.
Song Qingli took a deep breath and water droplets trickled down her face. Her black hair was wrapped around her neck and there was a mesmerizing sexiness in her dejection. The young girl's eyes were red and her entire body felt hot.
When their eyes met, Mr. Kai's Adam's apple moved with difficulty. He knew that something was not right. "Qingli, I'll call 120 immediately. You..."
"No, you can't." The girl's body was soft and her voice was even softer. At this moment, she was weak as she leaned against the edge of the pool. If they made the call now, her career would be over.
How would she be able to turn the tables and live a different life in the future?
She had thought about it. Since the heavens had allowed her to live again, she should not die so easily.
Mr. Kai looked at her fair skin that was tinged with a strange color of red and her soft panting sound was as if someone was scratching his heart and liver. After noticing the faint intention in the girl's hazy eyes, he immediately turned his head away. "This industry might be messy but I'm not a reckless person."
Song Qingli shut her eyes tightly. It was as if her mind had exploded and her consciousness was limited. In the end, she could not even open her mouth as she cursed this investor secretly.
You're really a gentleman. You aren't even taking advantage of something that has been placed in your lap.
After a long stalemate, Song Qingli finally managed to squeeze out one sentence, "If that's the case, Mr. Kai, why don't you help me find a man?"
Mr. Kai's black eyes were burning with rage.
Song Qingli was very open-minded. Since he wasn't someone who would mess around, he would just find someone who could do it. The only way to prevent making a loss right now was to find a man to settle the matter first and then quietly clean up the mess.
As long as it was handled properly, no one would know about this scandal.
The young girl had already curled up into a ball. For some reason, after she said this, the bathroom was silent for a long time. She thought that Mr. Kai was thinking of a way but suddenly, her entire body was pulled out of the water. The sound of water splashing echoed in the bathroom.
She was being carried onto the bed.
"Since anyone can do it, then I'll be the one who'd get it done."
The young girl's consciousness was blurry but she could faintly hear the man speaking and it sounded as if he was gritting his teeth.
It sounded as if this was hard on him.

The sun started to rise and it would take a few hours for the sun to disperse the fog in the village. At this moment, the greenery outside the window was covered in white fog and there was a layer of frost on the window.
When Song Qingli woke up in bed, she felt as if she had died again. In the past, she felt that she would definitely hold onto her dignity and would not sell her body even if she entered this industry. However, after last night, her dignity had been shattered.
She turned her head and met a pair of black eyes. The young girl's heart tightened. When she thought of what had happened last night, her face and ears turned red. Even if she was thick-skinned, she could not look directly into the man's eyes.
"You ..." The moment Song Qingli opened her mouth, her hoarse voice sounded as if someone was scratching glass with her nails. Her face flushed even harder.
Mr. Kai initially saw her sad, dejected eyes but when she blushed and spoke in a hoarse voice, he could no longer hold back his smile.
"I'll go get you a glass of water."
Song Qingli watched as he got up. The horrible sight of the man's back simply made her feel guilty. The man's back had streaks of nail marks, long and short as if he had been whipped and they were red and swollen.
This was crazy.
She had truly experienced what it meant to lose everything that she had.
If it had been any other night, she would have felt apologetic towards herself for what had happened last night. However, in this old village that was being watched and with no medical facilities, Mr. Kai risked his life to save her; in order to prevent the paparazzi from getting hold of anything. This made Qingli feel extremely apologetic toward Mr. Kai.
He already mentioned that he wasn't someone who would mess around. This was what he had said last night, but because of her, he made an exception.
"Have some water. It's still early in the morning and the paparazzi are gone now. You can go back to your room without worrying about anything." The man saw her frowning as she got up and went forward to help her up. He said, "If you need me to carry you back to your room, I …"
"No, I can do it myself." The young girl saw the man's slightly stunned expression and took the cup from his hand awkwardly. She took a sip of sweet water to moisten her throat. After drinking, she subconsciously looked at the bottom of the cup and Mr. Kai was amused by how cautious she was now.
"It's a little traumatic." The girl put the cup back in his hand as if she was ordering him around. The man raised his eyebrows, smiled, and put the cup back on the table.
Song Qingli mulled it over for a long time. She felt that she had to make this clear. Otherwise, who knew how much more trouble there would be in the future?
"Well, Mr. Kai, I'm very sorry for what happened but I mean we're all adults..."
"You don't intend to take responsibility?"
The young girl's voice was hoarse but it was true that she didn't intend on being responsible for it. However, shouldn't things like these, especially this question, be asked by a woman to a man?
Suddenly, when she was being questioned by a man, she thought to herself, 'Heavens, can anyone tell me how to deal with the aftermath of sleeping with someone like him?'
"I have something to say first." The young girl spoke first. "My situation might be a little special. You know the Gu family, right? I'm the fiancée of the Gu family's second young master. Although we're not married yet, we will be soon and that is why I can't be responsible for this."
Song Qingli's voice became softer and softer as she spoke. She felt that she was like an irresponsible man after putting on her clothes while the tall and confused Kai was like a woman who was being abandoned.
His face turned dark and there was even a trace of disappointment in his eyes. He wanted to speak several times but he remained silent.
"I understand. It's a one-night stand, right?"
"Uh ... I guess so but not really."
Taking advantage of the fact that it was still early, Song Qingli quietly returned to her room. Before she could feel at ease, Li Zhen's soul-calling voice came from behind.
"Song Qingli, where did you go?"
