Chapter 1: How can I repay him? With a promise of marriage?

At 8 pm, Star River Bay Hotel.

Li Yan felt her eyelids were very heavy, and she really wanted to open her eyes and make a sound, but she couldn't muster any strength.

A murmur reached my ear...

“This jerk, Mom, I really hate him! What were you thinking adopting him? You should have gotten rid of him in the first place.”

"Alright, Yu, don't complain anymore. The person is already here. Wang always wanted this, so let him have a look at the order this time!"

"Mom, why do those men seem to like this face so much? I don't think I look that bad!"

"Not like Mom, huh? Let's go, Wang should be here on his way."

That old bald donkey, he got off easy!

……

The sound of the door closing echoed, Li Yan struggled to open his eyes. He was met with a snowy white ceiling. Glancing around, he realized he was in a hotel room. The two people were already gone.

Probably, only Liyan in the whole world would be drugged by his own aunt and taken to a hotel, right?

Mr. Wang?

Isn't that the middle-aged man with such a big belly?

Every time I look at my own eyes, it feels so strange. Turns out there's an ulterior motive!

Pushing myself up with my arms, I sat up. A wave of dizziness made me want to lie back down on the bed immediately...

But no, you must leave!

My head is fuzzy, all I remember is being in my room. The rain came pouring in, and without a word, he sprayed something like mist on my face. Then I lost consciousness and ended up here.

He scrambled to his feet, only to fall back down as soon as he got out of bed, struggling against the smoke...

The door was opened from the outside, and a man wearing a floral shirt walked in.

He had thin hair, a big belly, and a thick gold chain around his neck. His aura was powerful!

Seeing Li Yan standing by the bed, he immediately bared his big yellow teeth.

My goodness, this face is absolutely perfect!

Red and attractive, with a gaze that is both alluring and watery. Her long hair is styled up, highlighting her voluptuous figure. She's truly stunning!

Wang looked at Li Yan and suddenly became aware.

"Hey, little one, weren't we supposed to have you knocked out? Why are you getting up and welcoming me? Don't you remember who I am? Your Uncle Wang!"

Saying that, he shut the door and rushed forward eagerly, pouncing on Li Yan fiercely.

Li Yan dodged the moment he came at him, trying to run towards the door, but was intercepted by Wang Zong who grabbed him from the waist. He smiled lewdly and sniffed the air.

"So fragrant! I heard that the adopted nephew of the Mu family is naturally scented and smells addictive. It seems to be true!"

"Let me go...Help me..."

"Haha, you're busted and no one is coming to save you!"

Struggling against the smoke, the man's fat hand wouldn't budge. Suddenly, Li Yan remembered the hairpin on her head and quickly pulled it off, jamming it forcefully into Wang Zong's fleshy arm...

Wang Zong only felt his hair loosen, a wave of fragrance hitting him. Before he could savor it, a sharp pain shot up his arm, causing him to instinctively jerk it away.

She fell to the ground, her center of gravity off. Her hairpin flew far away...

He scrambled to his feet, but hadn't taken two steps when he was grabbed from behind. With a rip, his clothes were torn apart, and he was thrown back onto the bed...

Fortunately, she was wearing a padded vest underneath. She subconsciously shielded her chest from the smoke before it could reach her.

"Damn, the little girl is still stubborn. With your measly strength, you think you can hurt me? The more you struggle, the more interested I become."

Saying that, Wang ignored the marks on his arm and impatiently pulled away Li Yan's hands. He fixed one hand on top of her head, bent his knee and knelt above Li Yan, while the other hand went to pull at Li Yan's torn clothes.

"Mr. Wang, please exercise restraint..."

Li wanted to angrily rebuke him, but her voice was too soft.

Struggling to get rid of this disgusting man...

Don't, absolutely don't let this disgusting man take advantage of you!

"Don't worry about anything, your sister Yu is taking good care of you for me. Your aunt isn't a good person, she sold you to me for 10 million yuan! Just stay with me, I won't mistreat you!"

Mr. Wang's mouth practically watered.

As if stimulated by what he had just said, Li Yan bit her lower lip forcefully. The blood flowed out, scarlet against the pale skin. The metallic tang and throbbing pain brought her focus. She raised her head, eyes blazing with fury, and slammed into the man's chest hard.

"Aw…"

Mr. Wang lay crumpled on the bed, his face ashen, clutching at the source of his pain.

"You, you goddamn bitch..."

As the smoke cleared, he scrambled to his feet, his tattered clothes falling apart. He stumbled forward, catching a glimpse of an ashtray on the table out of the corner of his eye. He grabbed it and ran toward the door.

Before he could even reach the doorknob, Wang, from behind, was already hobbling towards him.

"I'll make sure to kill you!"

As he spoke, he lunged again. Li Yan dodged, and Wang Zong hit his head against the wall. This time, not only did he feel pain in his legs, but his head hurt too.

Leave him to smoke again, bite hard, don't let this bastard get away with it!

With all his might, he threw the ashtray at him as he was spinning...

Sweat immediately streamed down Wang Zong's forehead.

As he howled, Li Yan dashed out of the door.

Li Yi ran desperately down the hallway, his steps light and airy, as if he were walking on cotton.

My head is spinning. Even though it's a straight corridor, it looks like three in my eyes...

Then a man's voice came through.

"You bitch, stand still for me..."

Mr. Wang gritted his teeth and chased after him.

Li Yan ran desperately forward, occasionally leaning against the wall. Besides dizziness, a heat constantly emanated from within her.

Like a headless fly, it would never stop as long as there was a path beneath its feet, until at a corner, it bumped into a broad embrace...

The man almost instinctively reached out to support the person, inhaling a fragrance that was uniquely hers.

He actually found it fragrant!

I was instantly amazed by this person!

He's allergic to all perfumes, but he doesn't mind the scent on him at all. There's a strange kind of...

The bodyguard behind him immediately reached out to pull it open, but with a look from Gu Mo寒, the bodyguard immediately retracted his hand and stood quietly behind him.

"Help me, please."

Li Yi unconsciously reached out for help.

Gu Mochen frowned, looking at the person in his arms. She was beautiful, stunning at first glance. It seemed she had been drugged; her eyes were unfocused. However, those hazy eyes instead stirred up a protective instinct within him.

Protection?

Gu Mochen himself found it amusing. He, who was always known for his coldness, would have something like this?

"Why should I save you?"

Gu Mo Han spoke softly, raising his eyes to glance. Across from him, a man was running towards him, covering his head with his hand.

Keep a safe distance from the smoke, but still keep hold of his clothes in front. This is a lifeline, don't let go!

"I, I will definitely repay you..."

Gu Mo'han suddenly took her into his arms, his hands holding onto her slender waist. He pulled her close and whispered in her ear.

"How do I repay you? With a promise of marriage?"
