"Miss, there's still no news about Xia Pengpeng. Judging from the bloodstains at the scene, Xia Pengpeng climbed over the barrier and must have escaped to the other side of the road and took off by car,"
"Have we found out who hit us?"
"No trace."
Xia Wen clenched her fists in anger, staring into the dense night and said fiercely, "Xia Pengpeng! Since you've come back, you can't escape my grasp! Just wait and see!"
Tang Jun searched along the road all night but did not find any trace of Xia Pengpeng.
All along the way, he kept dialing Xia Pengpeng's mobile phone, which was turned off!
"Xia Pengpeng, where on earth are you?!"
He was really useless!
To have let her get kidnapped and then to lose her!
Tang Jun and Xia Pengpeng were both international students, the kind that went to a university not well-known.
This girl had always been mysterious abroad; he could never see through her.
And to encounter such an incident as soon as she returned to the country? It couldn't be a coincidence, could it?
He found that no matter what, Xia Pengpeng had an irresistible attraction to him.
He was poisoned by Xia Pengpeng—he liked her!
…
Xia Pengpeng curled up on the sofa and fell asleep.
In a daze, she felt someone touching her face.
The fingertips were soft with a hint of chill, the touch so light that she thought it was just a strand of her own hair accidentally falling on her cheek.
She brushed it away impatiently.
Shortly after, the ticklish sensation returned!
She turned over, and as though realizing something, her eyes flew open!
She found herself unexpectedly gazing into a pair of ice-cold eyes!
"Ah!" she exclaimed.
Suddenly, the man leaned in and sealed her lips with his!
In that moment!
Xia Pengpeng's mind went blank!
Such a soft sensation, his lips were cold yet carried an intoxicating fragrance!
Damn it, I'm going to die, I'm going to die!
This man, was he not going to stop until he killed her?
Wasn't he unable to touch anyone? Yet he was kissing her!
This was outright murder in the making!
She... was actually intoxicated by his scent!
Xia Pengpeng struggled fiercely.
Mu Xingye held her hands down, forcefully controlling her movements!
His kisses became more passionate, deeper...
This kiss, this breath, and his dominance all felt strangely familiar!
Images of that night five years ago flooded Xia Pengpeng's mind!
She bit down hard on the tip of his tongue, and the taste of blood spread between them.
Mu Xingye sat up, his gaze fixated on her intensely!
"Don't! Don't!" Xia Pengpeng pushed him away with all her strength and jumped off the couch, running towards the door.
Guarding her chest with her hands, she resembled a frightened little animal, trembling, and though she boldly stared at Mu Xingye, she shook her head in panic and helplessness.
Was it him that night five years ago?!
Right then, the door opened.
Wen Yanqing walked in, looking at the two with a strange atmosphere hanging between them.
"Young Master Mu, how do you feel?"
Mu Xingye's gaze still bore the residual warmth from the recent encounter, locked firmly on Xia Pengpeng, and hadn't faded away.
Xia Pengpeng felt slightly unsteady; she wanted to run but felt as if fear, like two tentacles, was gripping her feet, rendering her unable to move.
She had thought that she had made herself strong enough, but the deep-seated fears inside her still proved to be overwhelming!
Xia Pengpeng, you're so useless!
With you like this, how can you take back what is yours? How can you seek revenge on those people?
"Miss Xia, I want to propose a deal to you," Mu Xingye said straightforwardly.
"The incident that happened yesterday, I don't think it has any direct necessity to do with me. I can cover the medical expenses for this time, but nothing else is my responsibility!" Xia Pengpeng hurriedly responded.
