Chapter 40: Who Hit You?!

The men around glanced about and finally realized…

"Mr. Zong, that girl… it looks like she was taken away by the guy who chopped off your hand."

"She was taken? Don't tell me… heh, so that's what this is all about." Zong sneered and glared at the severed hand on the floor. "Yu Aotian, just you wait. I'll make sure you pay for this!"

"Aotian, tonight was amazing! I wish every day could be like this," Long Qi chattered nonstop as soon as they left the club.

Yu Aotian could only shake his head helplessly. "You're useless in everything, except when it comes to chopping people. You're always the first one in line. What should I even say about you?"

"Everyone has their own path. Ever since you came to China to start your company, I've felt like I've been unemployed," Long Qi sighed dramatically.

Honestly, Yu Aotian didn't know what to do with him.

Whether it was Long Ye, Han Lishang, or even Mo Xuetong, they all worked hard in the company. Only Long Qi—no matter how Yu Aotian tried to promote him—just couldn't settle down. In the end, he was given a position where he didn't need to work but could still fight: Head of Security.

"Long Qi, don't worry. If it's blood and violence you want, you'll get your chance soon."

"Really?!"

"Heh. Just be patient…" Yu Aotian gave a faint, knowing smile.

"Yes! Awesome! Oh, right, Aotian—"

"What is it?"

Glancing at the sleeping girl on his back, Long Qi whispered, "She's… totally flat. I couldn't even feel her when I was carrying her."

Yu Aotian came to an abrupt stop. His face darkened instantly. Just as he reached out to take Yaoyao from him—

Blegh—

"Damn it, Aotian… she just puked, didn't she?"

On the quiet highway, a convertible sped down the road.

The cool summer breeze felt refreshing on the skin. Slowly, the unconscious Yaoyao began to regain her senses. "Ouch…"

Her face was swollen like a pancake. Of course it hurt.

Yu Aotian glanced at her and focused back on the road.

Yaoyao slowly opened her hazy eyes and instinctively looked to the side. "Huh? Yu Aotian? What… what are you doing here?"

No response.

"Yu Aotian, where are you taking me?"

"Yu Aotian, why won't you talk to me? Oh… I get it. You want to kill me, don't you?"

Kill her? He chuckled silently. What he wanted to do to her was real, but not in that way. He had no interest in touching drunk girls.

Still silent, Yu Aotian let her ramble on, only now realizing how annoying she got when drunk.

Then—

"Yu Aotian, didn't you say… if I kissed you and made you feel something, you'd let me go?"

"Hm?" He was caught off guard. Before he could react, she pounced and kissed him square on the lips…

Damn it! He was actually kissed by a little girl?! This was a total humiliation!

The car swerved slightly on the road. Trying to drive and fend off a drunk girl at the same time was no easy task.

He finally pulled over and decided to enjoy this clumsy, youthful kiss in peace.

Heh… Her kissing skills were awful, and yet… for some reason, he started to feel something. His breathing deepened. His hands moved to her on their own, and the passive kiss gradually turned passionate.

The heat in the car escalated rapidly. After a long moment, they finally separated…

"Little thing… I don't usually touch drunk women, but…" His control was slipping fast.

He pressed a button to recline the seat. The convertible's roof slowly closed.

In one smooth motion, he pinned her beneath him. His hand slid down—

As the sun rose, golden light filtered through the curtains and landed on a luxurious king-sized bed. A silk sheet loosely covered two bodies, hinting at a night of passion.

Yaoyao, still in a daze, stirred. Grinding her teeth in pain, she rolled over and unknowingly straddled the man beside her. Her tiny hand explored aimlessly in her sleep.

Hmm…

She felt something was wrong.

Her eyes shot open.

The first thing she saw was Yu Aotian's tired, dark-circled face. "AHHH!" she screamed and sat up. Why?! Why was she in bed with him?!

The silk sheet slipped off. She realized—she wasn't wearing anything! "AHHH!" She grabbed the entire blanket to wrap around herself.

Why?! Why was she completely naked?!

Her terrified gaze turned toward Yu Aotian—

And since she'd taken all the covers, he was fully exposed to her sight. Why… why wasn't he wearing anything either?! If only this were a dream…

"AHHH!"

"Babe, do you always wake up with this much energy?" he asked, bemused.

Seriously? Who wakes up screaming like that? Oh, right—someone who wakes up naked next to a man.

"Put on your clothes!" she screamed with her eyes shut, frozen in place.

She peeked after a while and saw that he had put on a robe. Finally, she exploded: "Are you even human?! How could you do something so disgusting?!"

Tears streamed down her cheeks as she wiped her face—only to realize her cheeks still throbbed with pain. "You… you hit me last night too?! Just because I didn't agree to sleep with you, you hit me?! I'm going to fight you!"

Still wrapped in the blanket, she lunged at him.

Yu Aotian really had to admire her imagination. Dodging her easily, he laughed darkly. "Babe, did I really hit you?"

"If you didn't, then why does my face hurt so much? You still deny it? I didn't expect you to be such a scumbag. I'm only 19! How could you do this to me? I hate you!"

Her voice cracked with fury, but Yu Aotian couldn't be bothered. After all, he was the one who was truly exhausted from last night.

"Shh… quiet down, babe. You might already be carrying my baby. Wouldn't want to hurt it with all this yelling," he said blankly and left the room.

Yaoyao sat there in stunned silence…

Baby? BABY?! I'm only 19! I… I don't want to have a baby! Her heartbroken sobs echoed through the now-empty room.
