When a few people in the elevator looked at him suspiciously, he caressed her cheek and pretended he was talking to his drunk girlfriend, "I already told you to stop drinking. Now look at yourself, you can't even walk."
Seeing the way Pei Yueran swayed, everyone believed him and turned to mind their own business.
The words, "help me, I don't know him!" went unheard. Or maybe she only said it in her mind, she wasn't sure anymore. Her mind was a blur.
On getting out of the elevator, they were the only ones along the short length of the passageway as the man half dragged, half escorted her to the room.
"Brace up Beauty, the fun is about to begin." The man said in a salacious voice.
The feeling of weightlessness from being hoisted up into the air as he put her on his shoulders was the last thing Pei Yueran felt before she blacked out completely, losing consciousness.
*****
On the third floor.
Bei Fengxue stood pacing around the hotel room. She had put in so much effort, and she couldn't afford for anything to go wrong. So far her plans were going splendidly, but she could not help but feel anxious.
She would only be able to calm down once her plans were done.
Li Chuanmo did not respond to the email she sent him, and when she knew he was traveling, she felt indignant.
So he didn't believe her? He wasn't even going to come and watch his so called fiancee betray him?
Fine.
Even if he refused to come, she would film it and send him the undeniable proof. Once he saw his own woman writhing and moaning beneath another man, he would have no choice but to believe her, right?
She smiled eerily at the notion.
Coming out of her thoughts, she hissed impatiently as she realized that they were not here yet.
She put a call through. "Where are you?" she asked impatiently the moment the call connected.
"Open the door," was the reply she received.
She directed a quick glance at the video camera she had set up before going to open the door.
"What took you so long?" She hissed when she saw him. The man came in quickly, the unconscious Pei Yueran still slung over his shoulder.
"Can't I check out the goods first?" The man drawled lecherously, making Bei Fengxue feel disgusted. Men were such scum!
She hid her disgust before saying, "That was not part of the plan. If you want your balance, you must stick to the plan."
"Alright alright. Calm down. I didn't do anything. I just wanted to make sure she was fully knocked out before venturing out of the private room, in case she decided to cause a ruckus on the way.
"So can we start now?" He spoke with a smile that he felt made him look charming, but Bei Fengxue just wanted to vomit.
With his oily skin, average face and swarthy complexion, he irritated her to no end and reminded her of someone else. Someone she had hated enough to kill.
For the umpteenth time, Bei Fengxue greeted Gao Tinghua's eighteen generations. If he did not change the plan at the last minute, why would she have to deal with such a sorry excuse for a partner?
At least Gao Tinghua was very good looking. Even if she could not have him, it would have been a pleasure to watch him in action. But now, he just ruined her fun and almost wrecked her plans.
Whatever, he was not her main focus. She just needed to achieve her goals and get her man back.
Besides, she hadn't planned to watch the whole thing to the end at first. Her initial plan was to leave before 2pm, since Gao Tinghua won't have allowed her watch anyway. But since neither of them was coming, she was going to stay to capture the whole thing.
"Put her down and let's begin," she said.
The man complied. He put her down on the bed and began removing her shoes while Bei Fengxue adjusted the camera, looking for the best view. When she was satisfied, she began recording and stepped aside to watch the show.
"Are you going to watch us?" He asked as he pulled off his shirt and pants one after the other.
"Yes. Just do your thing and don't mind me. Make sure you do it well."
"Oh, I would not mind. You could even come and join us, it would make it more interesting. I guarantee you would enjoy it." He said, flashing one of those awful smiles again.
Bei Fengxue rolled her eyes in barely concealed disgust as she said, "No need. Just get on with it quickly."
She decided to ignore him and just watch, but Li Chuanmo who was listening outside could no longer bear it. His countenance was one of ice cold imperiousness as he gave a signal to one of his men, who nodded.
The man in the room had just unbuttoned Pei Yueran's shirt. Seeing her creamy white skin, the light in his eyes intensified as he became more excited. He had just leaned down to kiss the mark on her chest when there was a loud bang at the door.
Startled, Bei Fengxue and the man turned towards the door together, in time to see it swing open, letting a bunch of people rush in.
At the sight of his beloved's pale face as she lay motionless on the bed with a man hunched over her, Li Chuanmo saw red.
Whilst the man was still frozen in shock, Li Chuanmo strode forward purposefully and delivered a punch to his face without saying a word.
The punch hit him squarely in the jaw with a force that sent him reeling off the bed. Li Chuanmo used the suit jacket he was holding to cover Pei Yueran's body before scooping her up.
"I'm so sorry." He murmured into her neck. The warm pulse he felt reassured him greatly.
The men that came in with him quickly apprehended Bei Fengxue and the man. They struggled, but were ultimately tied up.
When Bei Fengxue heard the bang at the door at first, she was shocked. Looking at the tall, handsome man that walked in, she narrowed her eyes. 'Didn't he travel?' she wondered in confusion.
Then it suddenly dawned on her. It was a ploy all along. He didn't respond because he didn't believe her, but he also never planned to let her go scot-free in the first place.
Her plans were about to go bust right in her face.
Not reconciled, Bei Fengxue tried to get Li Chuanmo's attention. Her shouts of "Chairman Li" went unheeded as she struggled.
"Li Chuanmo!"
At this call, Li Chuanmo stopped in his tracks. When he turned, he gave his men a look. One of them quickly taped her mouth shut. Seeing she was finally silent, he looked at her.
