Chapter 107: She Had Thorns
Had he really killed someone? Of course not.
Although Xu Chengyan was well aware that the Xu family's rise to fortune hadn't been entirely clean—in fact, most families who reached their level couldn't claim complete purity—there was simply no need to resort to murder or arson.
In this world, there were thousands of methods available for clever people to choose from. Who would be stupid enough to cross that bottom line? Besides, he only enjoyed intense, fierce sex in bed. Deep down, he wasn't nearly violent enough for something like that.
But thinking carefully about Zhao Yu's reaction after seeing blood earlier, and that sentence of hers—"Not just afraid, I also find it disgusting"—which didn't sound like a lie at all, Xu Chengyan couldn't help but wonder: had the interrogation process really been too bloody? Had it frightened her?
Seeing her half-naked body pressed tightly against the wall, completely motionless, only letting him thrust in and out rapidly from behind, Xu Chengyan paused. He gradually slowed the rhythm of his thrusts, sliding his hand to her chest to caress her gently.
No matter how promiscuous, how money-worshipping, how self-righteous she was, she was still just an ordinary woman. Seeing a scene like that would scare anyone. Besides, her reaction already showed that she probably had some kind of psychological shadow or trauma.
"I haven't killed anyone." Lowering his head, he sucked lightly on her pale back and chuckled softly. "I'm not a psychopath. Why on earth would I do something like that?"
He considered himself quite gentlemanly in front of women. Now, even though the drug's effects were raging intensely inside him, he could still be patient and gently comfort her like this—he felt he was being considerate enough.
Who knew that his tenderness would be met with only a very low, very short, yet utterly sarcastic laugh.
Xu Chengyan froze, looking at her in confusion.
Thinking she didn't believe him, he patiently explained further: "What you saw just now wasn't my original intention. I called my cousin over just as a precaution. But the sedative was too strong—I was unconscious for over ten minutes. He's impulsive, so he took matters into his own hands and grabbed someone to interrogate."
He always believed in using his brain more than his fists. Since the drug they gave him contained an aphrodisiac, the other party must have prepared a follow-up move. All he had to do was play along and patiently wait to counter it. In any case, he had confidence in his self-control, and he had already notified Zhao Yu to come over immediately. He would never let them succeed.
Who knew that by the time he woke from unconsciousness, Xu Chenghe had already violently interrogated those suspected waiters. Such a huge commotion had long since alerted the mastermind behind the scenes, which was why he had no choice but to continue with the interrogation tactic.
Zhao Yu chuckled softly. "President Xu doesn't need to explain this to me."
Of course, she believed he hadn't killed anyone. But did that mean he was truly clean? Did that mean people like them were truly innocent?
Zhuang Yiqing could also say she never killed anyone, but what was the final result?
The child who died in her womb four years ago, the ashes buried in the cemetery, even that unfamiliar woman who died from severe injuries in the hospital not long ago—did so many lives simply not count on her head?
Zhao Yu even wanted to ask Xu Chengyan one thing: if he had already been engaged to Zhuang Yiqing four years ago, and if Zhao Yu back then had tried to use the law to bring Zhuang Yiqing to justice, would Xu Chengyan have smoothed over her case just like he recently helped settle that woman's matter?
The answer was yes.
Her hands pressed against the wall tightened gradually. Zhao Yu lifted her lips in a smile and suddenly shifted her body to the side, spitting out Xu Chengyan's organ completely. Then, while he was still gripped by unsatisfied desire, she pushed him down onto the toilet cover beside them.
She went outside to fetch a condom and put it on him. Only then did she spread her legs wide and straddle him again, sheathing his member once more with her wet and slick folds, twisting her waist as she rocked back and forth on him.
Before, it was he who found her dirty and always insisted on condoms. Now, she found him dirty. She found people like them dirty.
He and Zhuang Yiqing were, in essence, the same kind.
His swollen length was tightly wrapped, the slick and tight walls of her flesh bringing him endless pleasure. But Xu Chengyan, experiencing this pleasure for the first time, felt that this seductive, soft woman on top of him was like something covered in thorns, prickling him all over until he was thoroughly uncomfortable.
Even though he couldn't even see where her thorns were.
Her eyes were still red, veiled with a mist of water. At first glance, it looked like lust, but upon closer inspection, it seemed more like something he simply couldn't understand.
When she shuddered through her climax, the tears that had been pooling in her eyes finally burst forth. Zhao Yu dug her fingers into his shoulders and cried out.
Seeing her trembling all over from crying, Xu Chengyan couldn't help reaching out to wipe her tears away and lowered his head to kiss her lips.
However, she turned her head and dodged him.
In the past, he never liked kissing her. Now, when he rarely pitied her, felt heartache for her, and was willing to comfort her, she refused.
Xu Chengyan wanted to lose his temper, but seeing her face covered in tears, the anger eventually dissipated.
Expressionlessly watching her, he asked, "Have you seen a psychologist?"
Zhao Yu stood up. Ignoring the stickiness between her legs and her disheveled clothes, she walked to the vanity, pulled out a cigarette, and lit it. Only after silently smoking more than half did she look back at him and smile. "What? Want to recommend someone?"
Xu Chengyan nodded with rare seriousness. He did intend to help her. Whether domestic or international, no matter how good the psychologist, he could hire them.
Zhao Yu exhaled smoke, her expression full of playful mockery. "I've already seen one. The doctor said my condition isn't hard to treat. Just find a few more men to have sex with, or earn a bit more money and spend it lavishly for a few days, and I'll be fine. So..."
She flashed a sly grin and stretched her hand toward him. "Boss Xu, you still haven't paid today's whoring fee."
Xu Chengyan straightened his trousers and stood, lighting a cigarette for himself as well. He spoke lazily, "I transferred fifty thousand to you last time. You still haven't spent it."
Zhao Yu couldn't help rolling her eyes. "You still remember that? Truly stingy."
Xu Chengyan smiled, holding his cigarette as he walked outside. From a black wallet on the sofa, he pulled out a card and handed it to her. "Funding for seeing a psychologist. If you don't want me knowing your condition, go by yourself."
He paused and added, "I don't like having sex with a lunatic who loses emotional control at the drop of a hat."
Zhao Yu smilingly took the card, studied it carefully, and nodded. "With this, I won't need to see a psychologist. Tomorrow I'll buy a bag, the day after a new car, the day after that..."
Xu Chengyan said coolly, "Limit is one hundred thousand."
Zhao Yu sneered. "Miser."
Glancing at the thing between his legs that had grown hard again, Zhao Yu laughed and added, "President Xu wouldn't be afraid of going bankrupt from my services tonight and planning to just tough it out like this, would you?"
Xu Chengyan took two drags of his cigarette and turned toward the bathroom. "TV dramas are all lies. When a man is hit with an aphrodisiac, he doesn't necessarily need a woman. He can also use his own hands."
Hearing him turn on the water to wash his hands, Zhao Yu was about to follow him in to witness the sight of this insufferably arrogant Young Master Xu reduced to self-pleasure when his voice came from inside: "Stop flaunting yourself in front of me. I'll have the driver take you back."
