This thought was fleeting, feeling it unlikely.
However, there didnāt seem to be anything suspicious in the room.
"Are you wondering what Miss Qu and I were doing?"
His words made Heather immediately retract her gaze, thick-skinned in denial: "No, Mr. Nian."
At least she confirmed one thing, Nian Shen must have some research in psychology, able to deduce his psychological activities from subtle changes in peopleās eyes and expressions.
Undoubtedly, her behavior just now had been of great help to him.
Nian Shen did not take her denial seriously, saying, "In your opinion, what should we be doing?"
A very formal smile appeared on Heatherās face: "Mr. Nian misunderstood, I wasnāt thinking anything."
"Alright, Iāll ask another way, what are they thinking?"
Heather truly couldnāt guess what answer he wanted from her, "Iām sorry, Mr. Nian, I am a stunt double, not a mind-reader. I donāt really know what they are thinking."
Nian Shen took a sip of his drink, casually stating: "Thereās no need to be so guarded with me. I know the answer, and I know you know it too. However, I think, if you stay in this room for an hour in place of Miss Qu, there will be similar speculations outside."
She understood.
"So after I finish this drink, I will leave."
He shook his head: "No, you will stay here, and leave after an hour."
"?"
The certainty on his face confused Heather.
However, suddenly, she felt something was off with herself.
Her wariness immediately spiked, and she threw away the drink in her hand.
...
The sound of something breaking inside made several of Qu Leqiās bodyguards look over, some even wanted to rush in.
Yi Yang stepped in, saying, "Donāt mind it."
...
Inside the room.
Heather was straddling Nian Shen, her right hand tightly clutching his neck, her gaze sharp, "What did you do?"
She had never doubted Nian Shen before.
Nian Shen was holding her hand, his expression unchanged.
What she didnāt know was that her hand actually didnāt have much strength; it wasnāt causing him much pain.
So he just gently grabbed her, pulling her entire body towards himself.
Heather, unsteady, fell into his arms, bitterly regretting, fiercely saying: "Nian Shen! I will kill you! I mean it!"
To others, her voice might sound fierce, but to him, it was as soft as a kittenās at that moment.
Nian Shen held her tightly in his embrace, hardly using any strength to make her unable to move. "Let me teach you a lesson about what is a woman and what is a man."
"I really will kill you!"
The punch she swung didnāt have much strength; he let it land on his chest.
"Iāve told you, the world is dangerous. No need to struggle, the drug is strong; it would knock down an elephant in a minute, let alone you."
She indeed felt that her body was gradually losing strength.
She didnāt even know if he had kissed her or not before she passed out.
In three seconds, Nian Shenās lips were on hers.
Her powerless hand still rested in his embrace.
Interlocking her fingers with his.
He kissed her forehead, eyes, nose, and finally her lips, looking at her, his slender fingers gently stroking her face, murmuring: "You tell me, how should I punish you."
