The CEO happily ran over and bit around randomly, disrupting the original situation. The young men were all startled, their movements visibly slowing down. Seizing the opportunity, he and Shi Xuan took advantage to subdue them.
Although they were holding knives and sticks, Jin Yuanhao didn’t take those young punks seriously at all. However, an indiscriminate stupid dog suddenly rushed out to cause trouble, sneakily biting his buttock. This caused him to be ambushed in the chaos, taking two hard punches directly to his eyes, turning them into black and blue.
After finally notifying the police and dealing with those young men, the night returned to calm, and his mood slightly improved.
But upon returning to the hotel, an unexpected person “coincidentally” encountered them in the lobby.
“I’m on a business trip to Kaohsiung. What a coincidence, you’re staying at this hotel too.”
“We’re staying on the 12th floor. What about you?” Shi Xuan asked.
“What a coincidence, I’m on the same floor.” His gaze fell on the man with black and blue eyes, and An Zhang spoke with apparent concern, “Ah, Captain Jin, how did you get injured?!”
Her heart suddenly contracted, her breath caught, and the emotions she had driven to the corner were instantly released. She felt she was almost melting into his eyes, soft as spring water.
Her hand resting on the desk was enveloped in his palm.
“I dare not have any thoughts of restraining you anymore. I can only hope that when you’re tired of flying, you’ll come back to my side.”
The low, gentle voice softly escaped from his lips, lingering in her ears and stirring her heart.
The passionate love of the past swept over her like a tsunami. Shi Xuan had always loved him deeply. Now that her deeply hidden feelings were stirred again, they became uncontrollable.
She could no longer restrain herself, excitedly grabbing his collar and leaning in to cover his sweet, soft lips with a deep kiss.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I didn’t know you felt this way,” she whispered apologetically.
He tenderly cupped her face. “Fool, don’t say sorry. This is what I willingly chose. As long as you come back to my side, it’s all worth it.”
She wasn’t sure who left the PUB, but she thought it was probably her, as she had always been the proactive one between them.
As her breathing gradually calmed, her heart was still beating rapidly from the passionate entanglement moments ago.
An Zhang’s arm wrapped around her smooth, pink shoulder, his forehead pressed against hers, kissing her lips gently like water, as carefully as if she were a precious treasure.
She kissed him back, fierce and passionate, as if trying to absorb his very soul.
Oh God, she loved him so much. Even after many years, her feelings for him remained as intense as they were back then.
The Kaohsiung trip ended with An Zhang looking radiant and Jin Yuanhao’s face covered with flower-like excitement.
Fortunately, Jin Yuanhao found one consolation: Shi Xuan had asked An Zhang to take that stupid dog and leave early in the morning. In the evening, after completing the final investigation, they were finally able to be alone without interference.
He decided to drive back to the north slowly.
After sitting in the car, he tried to say something to turn the situation around.
“Shi Xuan, I…”
Accidentally catching a mark on his collar, Shi Xuan cut him off, “There’s a lipstick mark on your collar. Next time, be more careful, lest people think we international criminal police are so frivolous.”
Lipstick mark? Glancing down, Jin Yuanhao’s mouth twitched, trying to explain, “Don’t misunderstand, this is…”
She gave a knowing smile. “This morning I saw the hotel floor manager coming out of your room. She seemed quite enthusiastic, right?” She thought he was serious about pursuing her, but it seemed he was just joking, and she felt relieved.
Her partner suddenly saying he liked her had truly shocked her, leaving her somewhat at a loss. She was glad he wasn’t serious, otherwise she wouldn’t know how to refuse him.
Her heart had no space left for anyone else, as An Zhang had long since filled the part of her heart reserved for love.
Jin Yuanhao urgently wanted to clear his name. “No, it’s not what you think. She was just doing a survey.”
“Doing a survey at six in the morning?” She gave him a mocking glance. Such an explanation was far-fetched.
“She really was just doing a survey.” He was wronged; he hadn’t touched her at all. He found it strange that someone would come so early to do a survey. When he saw her look at him with infatuation, he knew it was his irresistible charm, and she was using the survey as a pretext for flirting.
Unfortunately, men like him who looked a bit roguish were easily attractive to overly enthusiastic women.
Seeing his serious explanation, Shi Xuan shook her head and laughed. “Yes, yes, survey it is. As long as it doesn’t interfere with work, I won’t interfere with your personal matters.”
Her expression clearly showed she didn’t believe him at all.
“I really did nothing with her. I think this lipstick mark was from when she slipped and fell on me while preparing to leave after the questionnaire.” If he had actually done something, it would be one thing, but being misunderstood when he was innocent, especially by the woman he loved, was truly frustrating. He regretted opening the door for the female floor manager.
Shi Xuan smiled and stopped arguing.
“Ah!” Suddenly struck by inspiration, he suddenly realized, angrily slapping the steering wheel, “It must be that guy’s doing. The floor manager was definitely bribed to come to my room and claim she was doing a survey.”
“That guy? Who are you talking about?” She didn’t understand why he was suddenly so angry.
“Who else? An Zhang,” he ground out the name through gritted teeth. He was absolutely certain that the cunning fellow had deliberately found someone to frame him and tarnish his image.
“What are you talking about? Why would An Zhang do such a thing?”
“He wants to undermine my image in your heart.”
“Your image in my heart is already like this. Would he need to do something like that?” She gave him a sidelong glance, not believing An Zhang would do something so unnecessary.
“Shi Xuan, am I really such a casual person in your heart?” he asked, looking defeated.
Seeing his dejected expression, she felt a bit sympathetic and said euphemistically, “Well, not exactly. You’re just a bit frivolous, treating sleeping with women as casually as eating or sleeping.” She playfully slapped his shoulder, “Don’t overthink it. We’ve been partners for so many years. Don’t I know you? You’re promiscuous, but not vulgar. You won’t force anyone to do something they don’t want to do. I believe you two probably had a pleasant time last night.
I will translate the text into English, following the specified requirements:
“I…” rolling her eyes, Jin Yuanhao was at a loss for words. She had already presumed that something had happened between him and the team leader, not believing his words at all.
It was all his fault for being too playful before, completely destroying his image. Now that he wanted to be serious for once, he was being misunderstood.
Indeed, one misstep leads to eternal regret!
No, the most despicable one was that cunning An Zhang, shameless and contemptible! Actually using such despicable means to frame and slander him!
No wonder An Zhang had shown that weird, sinister smile before leaving in the morning.
Fine, he wants to play dirty? Okay, let’s see who can be more cunning.
Hmph, such a despicable person won’t always live a good life. Walk the night road too much, and you’ll eventually meet a ghost.
