Chapter 765: Chapter 744 Traditional Chinese Medicine (2)_1

"Hmm? Master, you haven’t slept yet?" Baibai rubbed his tiger eyes, looking groggily at Situ Xin sitting on the bed and spoke.

"I can’t sleep." Situ Xin rubbed Baibai’s tiger fur in response.

"Ah, Master, you have insomnia. Why not, should I get you some elixir for insomnia to try?" Baibai suggested earnestly.

Just as Situ Xin was about to refuse Baibai’s suggestion, her phone rang. Situ Xin couldn’t care less about Baibai at the moment and busily searched for her phone to answer the call.

By now, the quite awake Baibai watched its Family Head in this state and curled its lip. It thought to itself, "She’s beyond help." And at that moment, Baibai understood why its master, Situ Xin, hadn’t fallen asleep yet. She was waiting for a call from Xiao Muli.

Situ Xin, however, didn’t care what Baibai was thinking at that moment; all her attention was focused on the call from Xiao Muli. As soon as she picked up the phone and saw Xiao Muli’s name on the screen, she was certain.

"Hello." Situ Xin, who had just answered the call, intended to ask Xiao Muli about today, why he had waited until now to call her. But before she could voice her question, the voice on the other end of the phone caused her to lose her smile.

"Hello, is this Miss Situ? I am the assistant of our BOSS Xiao Muli." Xiao Muli’s assistant on the other end was anxiously wiping the sweat from his forehead. He had no idea why his BOSS, under the current circumstances, still asked him to call Miss Situ.

"Yes, it’s me. Where is Xiao Muli? What’s wrong with him?" Women’s intuition is usually quite sharp, and Situ Xin was no exception. When she heard that the voice on the other end was not Xiao Muli’s, a voice inside her told her something had happened to him.

"BOSS, he... he’s been drugged, and he’s now in a hotel room." Xiao Muli’s assistant had been trying to figure out how to break the news to Situ Xin when she unexpectedly asked first, which gave him a sigh of relief.

"What drug is he under?" Although Situ Xin knew something had definitely happened to Xiao Muli, she hadn’t expected he’d been poisoned. Instinctively, she followed up with a question.

"Aphrodisiac." The moment those two words came out of Xiao Muli’s assistant’s mouth, Situ Xin immediately became restless.

"Stay at the door of your BOSS’s room now and don’t let anyone near. I’m coming over right away." After giving these instructions, Situ Xin decisively cut off the call.

Xiao Muli’s assistant, listening to the "beep beep beep" sound on the phone, had the last sentence Situ Xin said to him echoing in his mind. His expression changing, he muttered, "What does Miss Situ mean by that? It will take her quite a while to get here, and by the time she arrives, the aphrodisiac’s effects on the BOSS might have worn off."

If Xiao Muli hadn’t insisted that he not enter the hotel room before going in himself, and hadn’t been so adamant about asking him to call Situ Xin, by now, he would have already found a way to rid his boss of the effects of the elixir.

The simplest way to counteract the spring drug was to find a woman, and that would be that. If it were up to Xiao Muli’s assistant, that would be the simplest solution. However, having worked with Xiao Muli for many years, he knew how his boss usually prided himself on his chastity. Those subordinates of theirs had even secretly discussed whether their boss perhaps had some problem in that department or questioned his sexual orientation. It was unprecedented for them to see him seek out a woman to fulfill his physical needs.

Fortunately, such thoughts about him slowly dissipated after Situ Xin came into the picture.

Xiao Muli in the room was in great discomfort at that moment. The effects of the drug had begun to manifest gradually. Earlier, when he was in the suite, he drank from his glass and felt something off in his body, and he knew something was wrong – he had been drugged today.

Fearful that he would lose control once the drug took effect and do something he would regret, he stood up without saying goodbye to anyone and walked straight out the door. From the time he left the suite to when he arrived at his hotel room, he had already called his men in hiding, instructing them to investigate the incident as quickly as possible and find out who was behind it.

Therefore, after Xiao Muli left the suite, everyone inside that room was controlled – before the investigation was clear, no one was allowed to leave the suite.

"Ah, it’s so uncomfortable, so hot," Xiao Muli groaned, feeling waves of heat emanating from within his body, and could not help but tear open the buttons of his shirt. Xiao Muli felt his rationality being swallowed up bit by bit by the effects of the drug.

He didn’t want this, nor did he allow himself to be controlled by the drug’s effects. He stood up and staggered toward the bathroom.

Just as he reached the bathroom door, his assistant, who was deeply worried about his boss’s condition, couldn’t help but extend his hand and knock on the door of the room. He cautiously asked, "Boss, how are you feeling now? Should I get you a woman?"

No sooner had Xiao Muli’s assistant uttered these words than a low, magnetic roar from Xiao Muli, affected by the spring drug, came from inside: "Get out." After saying that, Xiao Muli, fearful his assistant would do something foolish, forcefully pinched his own thigh with his hand, using the pain to maintain his clarity for a moment: "I’ll say it one more time, except for Situ Xin, no one else is allowed to come in. If you can’t even handle this, then prepare to be fired tomorrow."

It was at this point Xiao Muli’s assistant abandoned the idea of finding a woman for his boss to alleviate the situation. It was also at this moment that he became absolutely certain of their private speculation – it was true.

They had previously guessed in private that their boss was so morally rigorous, and besides Situ Xin, he did not associate with women of nearly the same age, even going so far as to unceremoniously toss out those who approached him, trying to climb into his bed. All because, their boss had always been waiting for Situ Xin – reserving himself for her. When this guess was first made, more than half shook their heads denying it.

They said, considering their boss’s status, even if Situ Xin was incredibly beautiful, surpassing other women, their boss wouldn’t remain chaste for a single woman, would he?

But today, just now, Xiao Muli’s assistant confirmed that his boss was indeed reserving himself for Situ Xin. He didn’t know quite how to feel about this revelation. However, what they did not know was that if Xiao Muli found out they had been privately discussing his and Miss Situ’s affair, their outcome would certainly be dire.
