Chapter 498: 442 seasoning

The next day.

Jiang Chen opened his eyes.

After a short moment of confusion, he suddenly sat up, but then collapsed back onto the bed halfway through.

The reason was simple.

His head felt heavy; his feet felt light.

His entire body was weak and soft.

As if he had been anesthetized.

Jiang Chen frowned, didn’t insist on sitting up again, and quickly scanned the room.

The room was very quiet; besides him, it was empty, and everything was neat and tidy, except for...

The sight of the shirt lying on the floor made Jiang Chen’s pupils suddenly contract, and then he quickly threw off the covers.

His upper body was naked.

A few abdominal muscles were distinctly visible.

Even though they couldn’t compare to those of a fitness coach, they still emanated a masculine charm that could quicken a woman’s heartbeat.

Jiang Chen’s gaze continued downward.

And then.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

His pants were still on.

He checked his belt.

It was tight.

There were no signs of loosening.

Feeling slightly more at ease, Jiang Chen put the covers down, but immediately was overcome with intense suspicion.

That woman.

What the hell was she up to?!

A glass or two of red wine, even a child could handle, and it certainly shouldn’t have caused him to lose consciousness, let alone leave him without strength even now.

It was obvious.

Last night what he drank was probably not just simple alcohol.

Considering the strange look in Shi Qianxi’s eyes at the time.

That woman, nine times out of ten, must have spiked the wine with something!

Besides anger, Jiang Chen also felt a sense of helplessness wash over him.

This kind of thing, a lady of standing would never do, but considering that lady, it wasn’t surprising.

Jiang Chen exhaled, lay back on the bed, and his eyebrows twisted into a knot.

Even if everything seemed normal, could that woman have gone to such lengths just to play a practical joke on him?

Impossible.

Definitely impossible.

The more he thought about it, the more unsettling feelings Jiang Chen had. As soon as he recovered a bit of strength, he got out of bed to wash up, planning to confront her for an explanation.

But while brushing his teeth, he could barely hold the toothbrush steady; it trembled in his grasp, like he had Parkinson’s disease.

"Mr. Jiang."

He walked slowly to Shi Qianxi’s door.

The bodyguard lowered his head, avoiding his gaze.

Jiang Chen, fighting the urge to smash the door—and indeed, lacking the strength to do so—pressed the doorbell instead.

"You’re awake?"

The door opened.

Miss Shi appeared as if nothing were amiss, with a warm smile, as if nothing had happened.

Jiang Chen’s face was expressionless, and he didn’t explode with anger right away.

This woman was wilful and reckless, but he still cared about his reputation.

Once inside the room and the door was closed, he then put on a stern face and demanded, "What did you spike my drink with last night?!"

"What are you talking about?"

Shi Qianxi opened her eyes wide in feigned innocence, "I don’t understand."

Jiang Chen could clearly see she was playing dumb.

"Did you drug me? I kindly agreed to accompany you to Hancheng, and you drugged me. Shi Qianxi, have you no humanity?"

"When did I ever drug you?"

Miss Shi quickly denied it, "Don’t falsely accuse me!"

"If you didn’t drug me, then why did I pass out last night?"

Despite his stern expression, Jiang Chen’s lack of energy made his appearance somewhat less intimidating, hardly forming any real threat.

"I was surprised too, when you suddenly fainted. You’re blaming me for your own weak constitution?"

Shi Qianxi retorted sarcastically, throwing the accusation back at him.

"I kindly helped you back to your room, and you don’t even thank me, but you actually yell at me. You really don’t recognize a good heart! Last night, I should have just left you on the ground to sleep all night!"

For some reason, Jiang Chen turned pale, and the dizziness hit him again, making him sway involuntarily.

Seeing this, Shi Qianxi was slightly alarmed and quickly steadied him.

"Are you alright?"

Jiang Chen took a deep breath, like an old man with declining health, and sat down on the sofa with the other’s support.

"And you still dare to say you didn’t drug me?"

His pitiable state brought a laugh to Shi Qianxi, but she quickly suppressed it.

"Can you stop wrongly accusing people? You say I drugged you, fine, then tell me, why would I drug you? What would I gain from it?"

Jiang Chen was immediately at a loss for words.

Indeed.

Besides feeling weak all over, he didn’t appear to have suffered any other "violations."

But that was what puzzled him.

"What on earth did you do?"

He was one hundred percent certain, this woman definitely drugged him, but the key question was the purpose behind it.

It certainly wasn’t out of boredom.

"How laughable can you be? You insist that I drugged you but then you ask me what I did?"

Shi Qianxi rolled her eyes at him, then said in authentic East Sea dialect, "I stole your kidneys, alright?"

"Now is not the time for jokes."

Jiang Chen’s gaze turned serious.

Shi Qianxi crossed her arms, unable to help a laugh.

"Then tell me, what could I possibly do?"

"Take advantage of you while you’re unconscious? Please, look at what you’re like now, you can’t even walk without getting tired. Plus, I, Shi Qianxi, am not that shameless of a woman!"

Her words rang with conviction.

Jiang Chen was left speechless for the moment.

Indeed.

When he woke up,

although he had no shirt, his pants were still on.

"Then why did you take off my shirt?"

"Who sleeps in their clothes?"

Shi Qianxi replied confidently.

Jiang Chen was once again at a loss for words.

He clearly felt something was off, but he couldn’t pinpoint what it was.

"We need to get ready to leave for this afternoon’s flight. I’ll go call for lunch. Do you want to eat together?"

Jiang Chen was silent.

Shi Qianxi stood up, went to make the reservation call, and at the same time, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

She hadn’t expected the drug to be so potent.

If she had known, she wouldn’t have used so much.

On the flight back to East Sea, Jiang Chen closed his eyes to rest and rested all the way.

Shi Qianxi didn’t disturb him.

"Feeling better?"

After landing in East Sea, Shi Qianxi asked with concern, "If you’re still feeling unwell... maybe go see a doctor?"

She had secretly asked the bodyguard, who although said there were no side effects, fell silent after learning the amount she had used.

"If I really end up with any serious complications, before then, I will definitely write down your name first."

Shi Qianxi glared.

"Tssh! Such a curse! Who curses themselves like that!"

Jiang Chen didn’t respond any further, dragging his sluggish steps, he moved forward.

"I’ll have someone send you back!"

Shi Qianxi called out.

Jiang Chen, as if deaf to her words, kept walking, gradually merging into the busy flow of people at the airport.

"So much for being a big man, such pettiness,"

Shi Qianxi muttered, then couldn’t help but turn her head to confirm again, "That drug really won’t cause any harm to the body?"

"Basically... it won’t."

"I didn’t use up the whole packet, it should be fine."

Shi Qianxi muttered to herself, then immediately looked in the direction where Jiang Chen had disappeared, and with a sense of schadenfreude, she let out a cold laugh.

"Heh, acting cool, huh? You’ll get your comeuppance!"

She put on her sunglasses and, with the escort of her bodyguards, quickly resumed her aloof and haughty demeanor as she headed towards another exit.
