Chapter 133
Chapter 133
This is a high-end tea house.
Chu Xiaotian reserved a VIP private room.
It was a suite where one could enjoy tea and conversation, as well as rest in a bedroom.
Similar to a presidential suite in a hotel.
He had prepared thoroughly to make things easier after drugging the ice-cold CEO.
Lin Chuqing walked into the room with a slight frown.
She chose to come to the meeting, not without concern for the other party’s ulterior motives.
But the other party chose 6 o’clock.
It was not yet dark, giving her a sense of security.
Moreover, the location was a tea house.
If it were a hotel, she would have definitely refused.
Even so.
After entering the tea house, Lin Chuqing’s vigilance did not relax…
At first glance, she saw Chu Xiaotian holding tea utensils, pretending to brew tea.
“Chuqing, you’re here? Come sit.”
Lin Chuqing appeared.
With stunning beauty, a curvaceous figure, and a noble, cold demeanor.
Every time he saw her.
Chu Xiaotian would be momentarily dazed.
Thinking about soon possessing this peerless beauty, Chu Xiaotian couldn’t help but feel his heart race…
Suppressing his excitement, he put on a gentlemanly attitude.
He gestured to Lin Chuqing with his hand.
Noticing the greed in his eyes, Lin Chuqing’s expression showed displeasure.
But to resolve the conflict, she chose to endure.
She sat down opposite Chu Xiaotian.
And asked succinctly.
“Mr. Chu, you said you wanted to resolve the conflict between us, is that true?”
“Of course…”
Chu Xiaotian said heartily, then showed deep affection in his eyes.
“My feelings, Chuqing, you know them, how could I bear to be at odds with you?”
Lin Chuqing’s face was expressionless.
She didn’t speak, just looked at him coldly.
Chu Xiaotian seemed to remember something and slapped himself.
“Look at my memory, at the commercial expo, I shamelessly threatened you, that was my fault.”
“It was the first time I was hit, and I was so angry that I lost my mind and said those things.”
“After saying it, I regretted it and have been feeling guilty, wanting to apologize to you.”
“Chuqing, I was talking nonsense that day, I’m sorry…”
Chu Xiaotian said with a look of guilt, then stood up and bowed sincerely.
These were all taught to him by Li Xiao.
To make this ice-cold beauty drink the tea.
He had to lower her guard.
Apologizing for his previous threats was a good way.
One thing Li Xiao said made a lot of sense.
Haste makes waste.
To achieve the goal, some hardship in the process is inevitable.
Chu Xiaotian thought.
If he could win over this ice-cold CEO, his white moonlight, not to mention hardship, he would even eat shit.
So…
Knowing that apologizing could help lower Lin Chuqing’s guard.
He did not hesitate to do it.
Lin Chuqing’s eyes flickered.
Not only was she not moved by Chu Xiaotian’s sincerity.
But she was even more repulsed.
If it weren’t for resolving the conflict, she would have left long ago.
But… she would not give Chu Xiaotian any hope for resolving the conflict.
She said coldly.
“Mr. Chu, I’ve made it clear to you, there’s no possibility between us, don’t waste your efforts.”
A shadow of gloom flashed in Chu Xiaotian’s eyes.
He forced a generous smile.
“I know, Chuqing, you have the right to refuse me, but you can’t stop me from liking you.”
“You can keep refusing, but I won’t give up, I believe there will be a day when I move you…”
Lin Chuqing remained silent.
Chu Xiaotian’s meaning was clear.
Because he liked her, he would no longer block her company, turning conflict into friendship.
What else could she say?
As Chu Xiaotian said, she couldn’t stop his thoughts.
Anyway, she had no intention of falling in love and would never be with this guy.
Let him be.
Her purpose in coming was only to resolve the conflict.
Now it was considered resolved.
Lin Chuqing didn’t want to stay a moment longer.
Out of the CEO’s demeanor, she asked.
“Mr. Chu, is there anything else? If not, I’ll go back, there’s a lot of work waiting for me at the company…”
“Chuqing, do you really not want to stay with me?”
Chu Xiaotian looked desolate.
His tone seemed very aggrieved.
“Our conflict could have been resolved with a phone call, I asked you out because I wanted to see you.”
“Have a cup of tea, talk…”
At this time, the tea was ready.
Chu Xiaotian picked up the teapot.
In front of Lin Chuqing, he took out two clean cups.
Filled them both.
After doing all this, he carefully placed one cup in front of Lin Chuqing.
He took the other cup himself, looking expectant.
“This is my greatest wish.”
“Chuqing, considering I fought with the old man at home for you, saying I don’t want this licking dog son anymore…”
“Can you have a cup of tea with me, fulfill my wish?”
This was indeed his wish when he was frantically pursuing Lin Chuqing.
Not a complete lie.
At this moment, his true feelings were revealed.
Lin Chuqing frowned slightly.
Seeing Chu Xiaotian’s serious expression.
When Chu Xiaotian threatened her before, he told her.
It was his father who insisted on suppressing her.
Others who wanted to persuade Chu Xiong to stop were impossible.
Now willing to give up the blockade against her.
Only this Chu Xiaotian could stand up and speak, Chu Xiong would let go of the grudge.
His father calling him a licking dog, wanting to kick him out of the house, should also be true.
She had refused to that extent.
Chu Xiaotian still didn’t give up, wasn’t he a licking dog?
After discerning the truth in Chu Xiaotian’s words.
Lin Chuqing’s gaze fell on the teacup in front of her.
Wondering if there was something wrong with the tea.
With her looks and figure, she could carve out a place in the business world.
Making everyone look at her in a new light.
Of course, she wasn’t some naive girl who believed everything said to her…
She remained vigilant about everything.
As if seeing her thoughts, Chu Xiaotian smiled wryly.
“Chuqing, you don’t think there’s something wrong with this tea, do you? Haha… how could I bear to harm you?”
Saying this, he picked up his own teacup.
Drank it all in one go.
To make Lin Chuqing believe, he picked up the teapot again, filled his cup.
Then drank it down.
After drinking, he sensed something was wrong.
It felt like a fire was burning in his chest.
What the hell???
Where did Li Xiao get this drug?
The effect is too damn strong!
When he was drugging, he kept asking Li Xiao what kind of drug it was.
But he just wouldn’t say.
Actually, Li Xiao didn’t know either.
He wanted to give him a surprise.
He gave full marks to the aphrodisiac effect.
He subtly gave a thumbs up to Li Xiao, who was standing silently to the side…
It was strange–
Why was he affected when the drug was meant for Lin Chuqing?
It was still Li Xiao’s idea.
Li Xiao knew Lin Chuqing’s personality, meticulous and very wary of strangers.
Especially the opposite sex.
She wouldn’t just casually drink the tea.
To make Lin Chuqing let down her guard.
The best method is to drink it yourself.
Even better, drink several cups.
Act like you’re afraid of being misunderstood, eagerly explaining, playing the fool…
Chu Xiaotian listened to Li Xiao’s advice.
Finding it reasonable.
So he didn’t hesitate to drink two cups.
He wanted to drink more, but feeling the intense effects of the drug, he didn’t dare continue.
Afraid he might lose control prematurely.
If Lin Chuqing hadn’t drunk the tea yet, scaring her off would ruin everything.
Noticing Chu Xiaotian’s grateful look.
Li Xiao felt a pang of sorrow.
Why are you so excited?
Testing the drug on yourself, in the end, you’ll gain nothing but empty joy…
Seeing the perfect first heroine, Lin Chuqing.
Both her figure and looks are top-notch.
That icy demeanor, the sense of conquest it brings to men, is simply unparalleled.
Who wouldn’t want to possess the lofty CEO, the goddess in the eyes of many?
Li Xiao was no exception.
But–
Thinking of such a stunning heroine about to fall into the hands of that sinister Xu Hao.
To be tossed and turned all night.
He felt a suffocating pain in his heart.
He wanted to stop Lin Chuqing.
He truly didn’t want to see this first heroine, posed in various ways, joyfully submitting to Xu Hao.
Several times he opened his mouth to speak but stopped.
Remembering Xu Hao’s threats.
If he told Lin Chuqing the truth.
Lin Chuqing would be safe.
She would always be wary of Xu Hao, and Xu Hao would never get his hands on her.
But his parents and sister would be in danger…
Suddenly, his gaze fixed.
His fingers trembled slightly.
He saw–
Lin Chuqing, after seeing Chu Xiaotian drink two cups with no effect.
She also picked up the teacup.
Considering Chu Xiaotian had broken ties with his father to resolve their feud, she decided to fulfill his wish.
Also, she didn’t want to stay with Chu Xiaotian, eager to leave.
To finish the tea and go.
Even deciding to drink the tea, Lin Chuqing didn’t let her guard down.
Bringing the cup to her lips, she didn’t drink immediately but sniffed lightly…
Her tea-brewing skills were average.
But she had a knack for tasting tea.
Her senses were sharp; she could discern the tea’s flavor instantly.
After checking–
The taste was pure.
No additional drugs were added.
Hehuan Powder: Colorless and odorless, ever heard of it?
Feeling no issue with the tea.
Lin Chuqing had no time to savor the tea with Chu Xiaotian, so she drank it all in one go.
Putting down the teacup, Lin Chuqing said indifferently.
“The tea’s been drunk, can I leave now?”
Seeing Lin Chuqing drink the tea, Chu Xiaotian was almost exploding with excitement.
He knew the power of this drug.
Feeling like he could barely control himself now.
Lin Chuqing drank a cup, she wouldn’t last long.
So, he simply tore off the disguise, his expression playful.
“I’m not stopping you, you can leave if you want, but I suggest you wait a bit…”
Noticing the sudden change in Chu Xiaotian’s tone.
Lin Chuqing’s heart sank, she sharply looked at the teacup.
Immediately realizing the tea was tampered with.
The next moment–
She felt as if a fire was burning inside her.
Her gaze fell on Chu Xiaotian.
Her face cold as frost, her voice icy.
“You drugged me?”
“Hahahaha…”
Chu Xiaotian let out a mad laugh.
His smile faded, his expression slightly sick.
“Just noticed? Too bad, the drug must have already taken effect in your body, right?”
He couldn’t hide his excitement.
His eyes seemed to be spitting fire.
Lin Chuqing frowned, puzzled.
Seeing Chu Xiaotian’s body red and barely holding back, she understood.
Chu Xiaotian was also affected.
He did it on purpose.
To trick her into drinking the tea, he even tested the drug himself.
Drinking two cups at that.
She had been careless.
Lin Chuqing was deceived by Chu Xiaotian’s foolish exterior…
If it were a more scheming businessman.
Facing the same situation, she would never have drunk that tea.
Who would have thought–
The guy who had been madly pursuing her, refusing to give up despite her rejections.
Could have such cunning?
“What to do?”
Lin Chuqing was anxious.
No matter how cold her personality, how strict and ruthless she was with her employees.
She was still a woman.
Facing the crisis of losing her chastity.
She felt incredibly panicked.
Feeling the increasing heat inside her, Lin Chuqing was filled with regret.
She had to find a way to leave.
…
Struggling to stand despite the discomfort, she planned to run to the door and call for help.
However–
Someone had already stepped towards the door.
It was that guy who had been standing by, not saying a word, Chu Xiaotian’s lackey.
Damn…
They were prepared.
Feeling more and more uneasy.
Lin Chuqing couldn’t care less, she shouted for help.
“Hahaha…”
The drug’s effect was too strong.
Chu Xiaotian felt like he was about to explode.
His face somewhat distorted, but he still held back.
He remembered what Li Xiao told him–
Watching this lofty ice-cold CEO in distress would be quite amusing.
Chu Xiaotian’s expression was manic.
“Shout, even if you shout till your throat breaks, no one will come to save you…”
As if he had everything under control, Chu Xiaotian laughed heartily.
What he didn’t notice was–
A glint of light reflected from not far away.
It was a pinhole camera.
Clearly recording everything happening in the private room.
On the other side of the camera was Xu Hao, drinking tea in the adjacent private room.
Xu Hao was holding a phone, watching everything.
The reason he had Li Xiao place a camera.
Was to appear as the hero saving the beauty at the critical moment.
This ice-cold heroine had indeed taken the drug, even he didn’t know its effect.
Only by keeping an eye on her could he be at ease.
Not letting her be taken advantage of in the slightest.
Once Chu Xiaotian made any move, he would immediately appear, timely saving Lin Chuqing.
To drag out the time for a better effect.
He had Li Xiao tell Chu Xiaotian to watch the ice-cold CEO beg for mercy, not to act immediately.
Seeing the time was about right…
If he waited any longer, this ice-cold CEO would be in disgrace.
She was already his woman, he didn’t want her to be taken advantage of, not even a glance.
He stood up immediately.
Went to the adjacent private room, pushed the door open abruptly.
Pretending to be serious, he asked.
“What’s going on? Who’s calling for help?”
For Xu Hao’s appearance, Li Xiao standing at the door wasn’t surprised at all.
Chu Xiaotian, however, was dumbfounded.
Just as he was prematurely celebrating, Xu Hao suddenly appeared.
Directly scaring him limp.
Xu Hao was of his father’s generation, and a friend at that.
His own nefarious intentions towards Lin Chuqing.
Being caught red-handed doing something bad.
Chu Xiong’s stern warnings came back to him.
If Xu Hao told his father, wouldn’t he break his legs?
“Xu… Uncle Xu…”
Chu Xiaotian was at a loss, flustered as he greeted.
Lin Chuqing, who was almost in despair.
Suddenly saw someone enter.
It was the CEO of Xu’s Group, Xu Hao, for whom she had a slight fondness.
It seemed he could suppress Chu Xiaotian’s arrogance.
She was saved.
As if clutching at a lifeline, she quickly said.
“Mr. Xu, save me.”
Xu Hao scanned the room, pretending to realize, coldly looking at Chu Xiaotian.
“Get out of here!”
“Yes… yes, I’m leaving…”
Chu Xiaotian shuddered, slinking away.
Li Xiao wanted to follow but was struck by Xu Hao’s palm.
This strike wouldn’t kill him.
Just render him powerless, temporarily an ordinary person.
After shooing away the two nuisances.
Xu Hao had just closed the door when a figure pressed against him…
