Chapter 185 Physiological Nausea towards Huo Zhizhou
"What were you trying to say to me?" Su Zhu asked Jiang Ruan, glancing at her after they had moved away from the fighting area.
"It's nothing." Jiang Ruan swallowed back the words she was about to say. "You weren't hit, were you?"
Even if it has been checked.
I'm still worried because of what Huo Zhizhou said.
"No, it just startled me." Su Zhu said nonchalantly, glancing at the people being escorted out by security. "From now on, let's just go to the private room. It's lively outside, but you never know when someone might be causing a drunken scene."
Jiang Ruan hummed in agreement.
She stayed with Su Zhu for about half an hour before leaving.
Before leaving, he downed the glass of lemonade on the table that hadn't been affected, trying to use the sourness of the lemonade to suppress the lingering fear brought on by Huo Zhizhou's message.
“You…” Su Zhu was soured by her actions, “You’re really ruthless.”
Jiang Ruan put down the cup and said, "Let's go, I'll see you off."
Su Zhu went with her.
She had been drinking and couldn't drive.
On the way back, Su Zhu, sitting in the passenger seat, glanced at Jiang Ruan, who was driving intently, then tapped the screen twice and sent a message to the person whose contact was saved as "Dog Thing": 【Have you finished investigating?】
Ye Yanzhi replied very quickly: 【You try.】
The investigation has not yet found out who the doctor Su Anran saw was; it has only been tentatively confirmed that it was a doctor from the affiliated hospital of Jingzhou University.
Su Zhu: [Ruan Ruan isn't doing well. She didn't tell me what happened, she just showed off a glass or so of freshly squeezed lemon juice.]
Ye Yanzhi: "??"
Ye Yanzhi: "?"
Question marks kept popping up next to Ye Yanzhi's profile picture.
Su Zhu: [Hurry up and investigate, don't slack off.]
Ye Yanzhi: [Understood.]
Ye Yanzhi: [You're the one slacking off!]
After the two finished talking, Su Zhu put her phone away and casually chatted with Jiang Ruan: "You're drinking lemon juice, did that scumbag boyfriend bully you again?"
“We don’t talk about other people in our private time,” Jiang Ruan changed the subject.
Seeing her like this, Su Zhu had a general idea of what was going on.
But she doesn't want to talk about it, and she won't force her to.
Half an hour later.
After seeing Su Zhu off, Jiang Ruan returned to Ruan Garden herself.
She got out of the car and went straight upstairs to the study. When she opened the door, she saw Huo Zhizhou working on the computer. When he saw her, he put down what he was doing and said, "You're back. Did you have fun?"
"Bang!"
Jiang Ruan placed her phone in front of him.
The message he sent her was on the screen.
"What's wrong?" Huo Zhizhou asked, his thin lips slightly parted.
"Did you arrange the fight between those two at the bar?" Jiang Ruan asked directly, without beating around the bush.
Huo Zhizhou didn't deny it: "You could say that."
"Do you know that Su Zhu was almost hit by the falling object?" Jiang Ruan felt a surge of anger rising in her heart at the thought that he didn't care about other people's safety. "She didn't do anything to you, so why did you do this?"
Huo Zhizhou's gaze was indifferent: "What do you think?"
Jiang Ruan felt a dull ache in her chest.
He really can do it.
“If it were anyone else, I would have taken action the moment he first breached the contract,” Huo Zhizhou said calmly. “But because it’s you, I’m willing to give you enough time to adapt. And what about you?”
The agreement was signed voluntarily.
We should consciously abide by it.
"Come here," Huo Zhizhou said, looking at her.
Jiang Ruan stood still.
There's a heavy weight of emotion pressing on my chest.
"You're a smart person." Huo Zhizhou looked at her, his words like a knife to her throat. "You probably don't want today's accident to become a reality."
In short.
He shattered any remaining good feelings Jiang Ruan had for him during this period.
She chuckled to herself and walked up to him.
"As long as you stay obediently by my side, I can give you anything you want." Huo Zhizhou pulled her down to sit in his lap, his hand holding her slightly cool palm.
Jiang Ruan didn't say a word.
Her silence was nothing to Huo Zhizhou.
His gaze fell on her aloof, indifferent, and seemingly lifeless face. As he reached for her waist, he asked, "Is it alright?"
Jiang Ruan had no desire to speak.
Can't she have the right to choose?
He would threaten her with the people around her if she didn't do what he wanted.
"If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes." Huo Zhizhou's warm fingertips traced her delicate skin upwards, while his other hand cupped the back of her head. He leaned down and placed a kiss on her lips.
Huo Zhizhou's movements were gentle.
Knowing her body so well, he could touch Jiang Ruan's sensitive spots with any movement he made.
Jiang Ruan was too resistant; the moment Huo Zhizhou's kiss landed on her lips, her body reflexively made a vomiting motion.
She sat up from his body almost instantly and vomited violently.
Nothing came out.
But the gagging reaction never stopped.
Watching her vomiting repeatedly by the trash can, Huo Zhizhou's eyes grew even deeper.
Are you really that opposed to him?
"This is a physiological reaction that I can't control." After vomiting, Jiang Ruan said to him without any emotional fluctuation, "If you still want it, I'll take care of it and come back later. I just hope you won't hurt my friend."
Huo Zhizhou felt a jolt in his chest from her words: "In your heart, am I the kind of person who disregards your wishes?"
"Yes," Jiang Ruan answered without hesitation.
Before today, she might have been able to see through his appearance and understand his true nature, but now she can't.
All she knew was his repeated threats and how he treated her against her will in order to achieve his desired goals.
As for those "good" things, they were merely a means for him to achieve his goal: to make her willingly return to his side and accept his initial offer to support Su Anran. If she refused, he would use coercive measures.
For example, the threats we face today.
"Then go take a shower, and wait for me in the room when you're done." He wanted to see just how far someone as stubborn as her could go.
"I did what you asked, and I hope you can do what you promised." Jiang Ruan didn't care about anything anymore; she would leave this place sooner or later. "Don't be a person who breaks their promises."
Huo Zhizhou's eyes were pitch black: "If you did it, I will do it too."
Jiang Ruan: "Okay."
Jiang Ruan left the room.
Back in the master bedroom, she went to the bathroom and turned on the shower. The moment the cold water poured over her, goosebumps rose all over her body.
The tenderness of being in love is different from the intimacy we feel now.
I used to like it, now I hate it.
She forced herself to suppress her emotions, trying to brainwash herself into thinking that Huo Zhizhou was just a gigolo she had chosen. Only in this way could she convince herself to suppress her disgust and do "that" with him.
But whether or not you'll feel nauseous when that time actually comes is another matter entirely.
Meanwhile, in the study.
Thinking about the conversation just now, Huo Zhizhou pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling a little regretful for the angry words he had said to Jiang Ruan.
The already strained relationship may have been completely wiped out by the conversation just now.
With this in mind, he stood up and walked towards the master bedroom. After hearing the sound of water in the bathroom, he stood at the door and knocked.
