Qin Yu was caught off guard, and took two steps back. As she had been running the bath, because she was unable to do things 'normally', a lot of water ended up overflowing outside the tub.
She stepped on a puddle and slipped, falling backward.
Ning Chen reached out to grab her, and she grasped hold of his hand. However, that caused him to lose his own because, and Ning Chen was jerked forward by her weight.
The huge bathtub was right behind Qin Yu, and before they could even cry out in shock, the both of them fell in one after another.
As he struggled to get up, Ning Chen choked on the water and cursed under his breath, his whole body drenched.
However, Qin Yu did not get up, but instead suffocated and started to sink to the bottom.
Ning Chen was startled."Xiaoyu!"
He got ahold of her and hauled her out of the water, but she was unresponsive, her eyes still closed.
"Someone!" Ning Chen roared.
As Qin Yu was brought to the bed, he looked at her lying quietly, and a strange feeling stirred in his heart.
Soon after, the doctor came to check on her. She choked, spitting out water, and cried for a while. Then, she was sedated and fell asleep.
The maid changed her into white silk pajamas; she looked like an angel in the red sheets, pure and beautiful.
Ning Chen had not expected that this marriage, which he had intended to use as a shield, would have been such an unpredictable adventure.
He stared at Qin Yu's sleeping figure and sighed softly as he caressed her face with his hand.
"Little girl, you better not be here to test me. Remain as you are and I will make sure you have nothing to worry about for the rest of your life."
He picked up his laptop and a chat box popped up on the screen.
A contact of his, whom he dubbed as 'Genius Girl', had sent him a message saying, "Doctor, could you prepare any pills, incense or a drug that would knock men out after consuming it and remove their desires for women? The fragrance should be light, so that the target wouldn't feel disgusted when taking it. Please, this is a matter of life and death for me!"
Ning Chen could not help but laugh. This person has probably been reading too many Wuxia novels, right?
He then sent his reply, "I'll make some medicine for you using the Antiaris toxicaria. If any man plans to harm you, use this and he won't ever wake up anymore. Don't worry, the symptoms are similar to that of a heart attack, no one will ever be able to find out."
'Girl, what are you planning to do?'
Genius Girl's online avatar was just plain gray. During this period of time, she had been somewhat elusive, and no one knew where she had gone.
They had met in an online hacking competition in the past. They hit it off and have become good friends ever since, but they had never met in real life before.
He felt as if he was making friends with a little girl.
Genius Girl was a very powerful figure, as she was also one of the partners of his venture capital firm.
He knew that she was also involved in other businesses besides his. She was indeed worthy to be called a genius, whether in the business or online world.
After they had slowly gotten acquainted, she'd started to relax around him, revealing her true nature of a very cute and sweet girl.
In fact, he had thought of using her to impersonate as his girlfriend. Ning Chen had simply wanted to make his grandfather happy and relieve him of the matter.
Unfortunately, she was an especially busy person in real life, and had never been available physically.
He didn't know what she was doing this time as well.
When Qin Yu opened her eyes, she was shocked at first. The first thought that popped into her mind was, 'Have I been transmigrated? What is this place?'
Following that, memories came flooding back into her head one after another.
She had escaped her wedding night!
Yes!
Qin Yu got up and gave herself a huge pat on the back.
She spotted her tablet. Noticing that the doctor had replied, her arms shuddered as she read his message.
"I'll make some medicine for you using the Antiaris toxicaria. If any man plans to harm you, use this and he won't ever wake up anymore. Don't worry, the symptoms are similar to that of a heart attack, no one will ever be able to find out."
This doctor was really too brutal.
She replied, "He doesn't seem like a bad person. Moreover, I'm the one who wants to use him. I can't treat him like this, how mean! As long as you help me with the medicine, I'll be safe in the meantime."
The doctor's profile picture suddenly lit up, indicating that he was online.
"What do you mean? Little girl, where are you?
"Are you in any danger? Do you need help?"
Qin Yu's heart warmed up. She had many friends who were sincere to her; this was her greatest asset! The inheritance that her parents had left her, that Shi Yong and his wife were always so concerned about, was not something she cared about at all.
What a joke!
