Jian Fei hit him, and he pulled her up with a smile.
"Get up. Come out with me."
Go out? "Where to?"
"Where else? The bed is broken, how can you still live in your room? Come to my place."
Jian Fei didn't want to go.
After all, they weren't boyfriend and girlfriend, and she didn't intend to hold Ke Teng responsible. It wasn't an impulsive decision either; she could take responsibility for all her decisions.
"No, I'm not going. You can leave."
Ke Teng pinched her chin and turned her face.
"Just let me leave like this? Is that how it works?"
Jian Fei didn't understand, "Then what do you want?"
"I told you, you're coming with me."
"But..."
"You're not planning to sleep on the floor, are you? I'll have someone buy you a new bed tomorrow. Just for tonight."
Sitting in the car together, looking at the man in a sharp suit beside her, and then thinking about what had just happened, Jian Fei belatedly realized the awkwardness.
After all...
Alas, she probably wouldn't be able to interact with him as amicably as before.
Both of them had drunk alcohol, and Ke Teng couldn't drive, so they took a taxi.
Walking with him, who had an imposing demeanor, through the hotel lobby, getting into the elevator together, and then entering the same room.
Jian Fei's scalp tingled at the thought.
She didn't know what had gotten into her today to have ended up in this situation with him.
What kind of girls hadn't he seen? What made her so confident to show off in front of him?
She was lost in thought the entire way.
Ke Teng opened the room, closed the door, and she wanted to quickly go to the guest room to calm herself down.
However, as soon as she stepped inside, Ke Teng grabbed her wrist.
Leaning against the entrance, Ke Teng said nothing, as if the previous events hadn't interrupted. He seamlessly resumed.
Jian Fei's mind was buzzing. She wanted to push him away and tell him she regretted it.
But Ke Teng didn't give her a chance to catch her breath. Soon, she became a puppet at his mercy.
Jian Fei's place had nothing. Nothing was used just now.
Now that everything was ready, Ke Teng was prepared without her needing to remind him.
A night of indulgence.
Jian Fei was exhausted and slept until past noon before waking up.
When she opened her eyes, the man who was full of energy was long gone.
The bed was cold, indicating he had left quite some time ago.
If the room wasn't so lavish and unfamiliar, given Ke Teng's attitude afterward, Jian Fei would have suspected she was dreaming last night.
She got up, washed her face in the bathroom, picked up her phone, and found a WeChat message from Ke Teng.
He said he had an emergency and had returned to Shangcheng, and his assistant was still there, telling her to contact the assistant if she needed anything.
Contact the assistant? What could she possibly need him for?
She had just tried him out, satisfied a bit of curiosity. No one owed anyone anything. It was best if they never saw each other again.
She still had to go back to her rental to pack up her room. After resting for a bit, Jian Fei left with her phone.
Unexpectedly, when she reached the lobby, the assistant was waiting for her.
"Miss Jian, you're awake."
What did she mean, "you're awake"?
It was as if he knew she...
Jian Fei's face felt a little hot, but she pretended to be calm.
"Didn't Ke Teng already leave? I don't need the room anymore, you can cancel it."
The assistant said, "Mr. Ke asked me to cancel your rental house for you and find a new apartment closer to the hospital. However, time is tight, and I haven't found one yet, so the room cannot be canceled. You'll have to stay at the hotel for a few days."
Jian Fei was taken aback, "Huh?"
"Mr. Ke also said that from now on, I will follow you throughout and take your instructions. The car is ready. Where do you want to go now? I'll drive you."
"..."
Jian Fei didn't quite understand Ke Teng's intentions. She instinctively felt it was too much and quickly refused.
"No need. I don't need any help. I'm living very well, and I don't need to move. Please tell Ke Teng to go back."
The assistant looked at her with a smile.
"Miss Jian, Mr. Ke has already made arrangements. Please don't make things difficult for me."
"I'm not making things difficult for you..."
"If you don't have any plans today, let me go over my work plan with you."
The assistant professionally took out his tablet and opened a document.
Canceling the rental, finding a new apartment. Below that was another item: making an appointment with an ENT specialist at the First Medical University Affiliated Hospital in Beicheng.
Jian Fei was confused and pointed to the last item, asking, "What does this mean?"
"Mr. Ke said you plan to have cochlear implants for your sister, so I'm contacting Beicheng's most renowned ENT specialists."
The assistant explained, "Please prepare yourself. We might need to go to Beicheng in the next couple of days for a check-up."
Ke Teng wanted to get cochlear implants for her sister?
And to that most famous specialist in Beicheng?
Jian Fei was stunned. Was Ke Teng planning to take responsibility for her?
Did he think that her drinking yesterday and then being intimate with him was her way of trying to climb up to him, a wealthy young master, and thus...
It was her fault for not making things clear. Jian Fei felt a great sense of shame for being misunderstood.
She took out her phone and found Ke Teng's number.
"Excuse me, I need to make a call first."
She went to the lounge area and dialed Ke Teng's number.
Unfortunately, he was on the plane, so she couldn't get through.
Jian Fei sent him a WeChat message, too excited to type, and sent a long voice message.
"I think you might have misunderstood my intentions. Yesterday, I didn't..."
"Tell your assistant to go back. I don't need you to do anything. You just need to sign that hospital project proposal for me."
"Once the project proposal is signed, I can report to my boss. After that, we don't need to contact each other anymore. You don't need to feel burdened. It was consensual, and I'm not a three-year-old child."
She went back and told the assistant, "I've already spoken to your Mr. Ke. You can go back now. Don't follow me."
The assistant didn't believe her because Ke Teng had given him clear instructions.
He followed Jian Fei.
"Miss Jian, please don't make things difficult for me..."
"Don't call me Miss Jian, and don't keep saying 'you.' You know perfectly well I'm not some young lady!"
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, then I..."
"Call me Jian Fei."
"...Miss Jian, please don't make things difficult for me."
Jian Fei was speechless.
"I'm not making things difficult for you. If you think I am..."
She didn't know what to do either.
"You can wait at the hotel. When Ke Teng returns to Shangcheng and sees my message, he will contact you."
After saying that, she hurried into the traffic.
More than two hours later, Ke Teng landed.
Getting into the van that came to pick him up, he slid open WeChat and saw Jian Fei's messages.
He called his assistant to ask what was happening on his end.
The assistant apologized, "I'm sorry, Mr. Ke, Miss Jian asked me not to follow her."
"Just because she told you not to, doesn't mean you shouldn't? What did I tell you?"
"I'm truly sorry, Miss Jian's attitude... However, I'm currently downstairs at her place. She's already returned, and I'll be watching her every move and reporting to you promptly."
