Under urgency, Lu Yuxin took hasty steps, nearly stumbling and almost falling over. The remnants of last night's madness brought her pain, mixing shame with irritation.
Lin Feng understood, so with quick reflexes, he stepped forward and aggressively wrapped his arm around her waist, saying, "Give me the keys. I'll drive!"
Lu Yuxin hesitated for a moment, feeling awkward about last night's events and now less than eager for any close contact with Lin Feng.
Without hesitation, Lin Feng bent down and swept her into a bridal carry. Lu Yuxin let out a frightened "Ah" before she began to struggle.
"Stop moving, or you won't be able to walk later on, let alone deal with what's to come," Lin Feng said, now even calmer.
Indeed, after hearing this, Lu Yuxin stopped struggling and allowed Lin Feng to carry her to the garage.
Lu Yuxin noticed that Lin Feng carried her with ease, utterly composed. She was well aware of her own height and weight—standing at 1.72 meters tall and nearing 100 jin, with curves in all the right places.
Who could carry a person of 100 jin so effortlessly, especially after her vehement resistance? This made Lu Yuxin curious about the kind of man he really was.
Lin Feng drove a business van, following the directions provided by Lu Yuxin to arrive in front of a towering building.
"Lu Group!" Lin Feng looked up at the massive sign.
One of Beijiang City's landmark buildings was related to this woman. Her surname was also Lu, so it seemed likely that the Lu Group was her family's enterprise.
Sure enough, the security guards at the front not only refrained from stopping them but also greeted them with utmost respect. The only questionable glance was directed at Lin Feng, wondering if he was the CEO's new driver. Why else would he wear the uniform of another company's security?
Even stranger was the fact that Mr. Lu, who usually had a commanding presence, now required support, appearing as though an empress on an inspection tour.
Entering the building, Lu Yuxin felt something was amiss. Those who were usually respectful towards her now looked down and rushed past, acting very busily.
After stepping into the elevator, Lin Feng revealed a strange smile, "It's clear you're a senior executive of the Lu Group, but these people's attitudes towards you are peculiar."
Lu Yuxin frowned and didn't respond, worry visible between her brows.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Feng took out a pill from his pocket and handed it to Lu Yuxin, "This elixir can temporarily relieve your discomfort. Whether you dare to take it is up to you, but it seems you have a tough battle ahead."
The implication was that Lu Yuxin might fall injured before even entering the battlefield.
Looking at the pill, Lu Yuxin was taken aback. Who was this guy, carrying medicine on him? He couldn't be someone who takes advantage of young girls, could he?
But the situation, as Lin Feng had put it, left her no room for hesitation. After all, she had already been intimate with him, how much worse could it get? Biting her lip, Lu Yuxin snatched the pill and swallowed it.
Her boldness even surprised Lin Feng. She was indeed a woman determined to do great things, not to be trifled with.
After swallowing the pill, Lu Yuxin immediately felt a warm surge spreading from her abdomen, reaching into every limb. Soon, the pain and discomfort vanished.
This amazed her further. What sort of pill could be so miraculous? With just one dose, the effects were immediate. She looked at Lin Feng again, this man who, beyond his good looks, she had thought ordinary, was now shrouded in a veil of mystery, becoming inscrutable and enigmatic.
As she was lost in her thoughts, the elevator reached the top floor of the building.
The elevator doors opened to a wide and bright corridor, with a meeting room at the end. However, at that very moment, two rows of men in black lined both sides of the corridor.
Each one was holding an umbrella, likely meant to shield their boss from wind, rain, or sun while also serving as protection if necessary.
The men in black were tall and muscular, and even in their suit jackets, the muscles on their arms were evident, clearly indicating their roles as bodyguards or enforcers.
As Lin Feng and Lu Yuxin emerged, the first two men in black stepped forward to block their path.
