Chapter 793: Chapter 798: Really Just a Misunderstanding (2)
"Xiyao, you better not get up, just sit and rest for a while," Ling Chen said with concern.
It was uncertain whether Liu Xiyao had heard him clearly, but she wrapped her delicate arms around Ling Chen’s neck, hanging almost her entire weight on his neck, her body pressing tightly against his.
Feeling the warmth of Liu Xiyao’s body and her faint scent, Ling Chen couldn’t help but swallow.
This woman... Does she not realize how attractive she is? Unless one is a eunuch, it’s probably impossible for any man to resist Liu Xiyao’s charm.
"Xiyao, Xiyao..."
Ling Chen called her name several times, but Liu Xiyao did not respond at all; her tempting red lips slightly parted, exhaling a fragrant breeze.
Seeing this, Ling Chen could only silently smile wryly. Judging by Liu Xiyao’s condition, the half glass of white wine had completely intoxicated her; she was beyond awakening.
Forget it! Better to take her back to her room. With that thought, Ling Chen lifted Liu Xiyao by the waist and stepped towards the bedroom door. However, he hesitated when he reached the door. Carrying Liu Xiyao to her room like this, he was sure to be seen by others.
Liu Xiyao, in her current state, could lead to misunderstandings if seen by others. Although Ling Chen had a thick skin, he had to consider Liu Xiyao’s reputation.
After considering it, Ling Chen decided to carry Liu Xiyao back to his own bed instead. No one knew she was in his room anyway, so letting her sleep here wouldn’t be a problem; he could take her back when she woke up.
After placing Liu Xiyao on the bed, Ling Chen carefully covered her with the blanket, to prevent her from catching a cold.
Having tidied up the bowls and chopsticks, Ling Chen sat on the armchair, quietly observing Liu Xiyao on the bed, his eyes carrying a hint of admiration.
Although Liu Xiyao grew up with Lin Guodong, Ling Chen had to admit that he had indeed raised her well. No matter the occasion, Liu Xiyao always came across as a woman of taste and grace. And with her devilish figure and stunning looks, she truly was the dream girl for any normal man.
It was a pity, if Liu Xiyao hadn’t gone through all of this, she might have found a man who loved her and lived a happy life. But reality is often cruel. If he hadn’t arrived in time that day, she would have probably suffered untold humiliation.
Lin Guodong... Just thinking of that man made Ling Chen’s eyes narrow.
According to the information from Hu Fei, Lin Guodong should still be in East Sea City, only hiding somewhere unknown. Currently wounded and unable to move much, he would definitely find a secretive place to recover.
Recovery!
Suddenly, as though struck by a thought, a bright light flashed in Ling Chen’s eyes.
Since Lin Guodong needed to heal, he would certainly purchase medical supplies. With Lin Guodong’s status, he would not dare to visit a hospital, much less show himself openly; he would definitely have someone at his side to buy the medicine.
Thinking it through, all of Lin Guodong’s men who came to East Sea City had been captured, except for Lin Tong; there was hardly anyone left at Lin Guodong’s side to order around.
Maybe it was worth a try; he might just stumble upon an unexpected discovery.
Without delay, Ling Chen left the bedroom and hurried to Hu Fei’s office to share his thoughts.
Just at that moment, a sedan slowly approached the research facility’s exterior.
The car door opened, and Nanrong Hao was the first to jump out, then considerately opened the rear door, ushering a woman out.
"Sister, take it easy."
"My body has already recovered, there’s no need to be so concerned. Let’s go!"
Entering the research facility, with Nanrong Hao leading the way, the two of them passed through unobstructed, occasionally greeted by people acknowledging Nanrong Hao.
"Sister, where are we going? Shall we go directly to Chen, or..."
"Ling Chen should be in his bedroom, let’s check his room first."
"Okay!" Nanrong Hao responded and led Nanrong Wanqing straight to the door of the room where Ling Chen was staying.
Knock knock knock!
Nanrong Hao knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside the room.
After waiting a while and seeing no reaction from inside the room, Nanrong Wanqing turned and said, "He might not be in the room."
"Sister, why don’t you wait in Chen’s room? I’ll go find Chen; he should be in Hu’s office."
"But the door is locked."
Nanrong Hao smirked and said, "That’s not a problem. All the rooms in the base have keypad locks, and except for the more important places, the rest have the same keycode." Saying this, Nanrong Hao stretched out his hand and pressed a six-digit code on the electronic keypad lock next to the door.
Click!
With a soft click, the door lock popped open instantly.
"Go ahead, you can leave now, don’t worry about me." After saying this, Nanrong Wanqing pushed the door open and walked in.
However, once inside the room, before Nanrong Wanqing could even find a place to sit down, her eyes were instantly drawn to the beauty on the bed. At that moment, Liu Xiyao was lying in the blanket with her clothes thrown messily aside, minimal garments covering her devilish curves, coupled with her high school aura and snow-like jade skin, any man here would probably have been stimulated to nosebleed by the scene before his eyes.
Watching Liu Xiyao comfortably asleep on the bed, Nanrong Wanqing was taken aback for a moment, her pretty face gradually turned pale, her lips tightly biting, and complex emotions flickered in her beautiful eyes.
How... How could she be here?
This was Ling Chen’s room, and with Liu Xiyao undressed like this, could it be that they... Nanrong Wanqing’s face turned even paler at the thought, with clear tears swirling in her eyes.
"No... It can’t be..."
Nanrong Wanqing shook her head in disbelief at the sight. Although she didn’t want to believe it, everything was real; she couldn’t lie to herself.
At this time, in Hu Fei’s office, Ling Chen was still discussing matters with Hu Fei.
Hearing the door noise, Ling Chen turned around and asked, "Haozi, why are you here?"
"Just hanging around, so I came to have a look. Oh, and Chen, my sister came along too."
"Your sister?" Ling Chen was puzzled; Nanrong Wanqing had actually come to the base.
"Where is your sister? Why isn’t she with you?"
"We went to your room to find you just now, but you weren’t there, so I let Sister wait in your room, and then I came to look for you. Chen, you..."
"What?" Ling Chen was startled, hastily interrupting Nanrong Hao and asking, "Your sister is in my room?"
"Yeah. What’s wrong?"
Damn it!
Ling Chen cursed inwardly, knowing that if Nanrong Wanqing saw Liu Xiyao sleeping in his room, she might jump to all sorts of wrong conclusions. Without time to think it over, Ling Chen rushed out the door, heading straight to his bedroom.
As he approached the bedroom door, Ling Chen looked up to see Nanrong Wanqing’s pale face and two lines of tears rushing out of the bedroom.
