Chapter 57: On the Brink of Explosion

After a fierce struggle, both of them were on the verge of death.

Especially Song Qingtian—she nearly lost consciousness.

She lay down, pressed against Ling Hanyu’s body, wrapping her arms around his waist.

Her grip loosened, and she drifted off to sleep.

Ling Hanyu looked at the woman in his arms and pulled the blanket over her.

Before nightfall, the two of them slept for a while. This time, when Song Qingtian woke up, she felt a bit better.

But as soon as she moved, the hand around her waist tightened.

Ling Hanyu opened his dark eyes and looked at her, startling Song Qingtian. Embarrassed, she quickly explained, “Um… I’m fine now. Thank you, Mr. Ling, for saving my life!”

“What nonsense is this?”

Ling Hanyu was speechless—what was going on?

“I mean, thank you for saving me this time.”

Song Qingtian was afraid of being misunderstood and planned to leave.

But she realized that Ling Hanyu hadn’t let go of her.

“Next time you drug someone, be smarter—don’t run outside. And besides… don’t you know that taking too much can be fatal?”

Song Qingtian thought about it and realized she had indeed been misunderstood.

Well, if she’d been misunderstood, there was no point in explaining further.

Explaining would only make things worse.

Song Qingtian thought for a moment and said, “I want to go wash up.”

Ling Hanyu slowly released his grip, and Song Qingtian got out of bed.

She hurriedly grabbed a sheet and wrapped herself in it, afraid Ling Hanyu might see her.

Ling Hanyu’s dark eyes watched her; he’d been a bit drowsy before, but Song Qingtian’s举动 made him wide awake.

In the past, Song Qingtian loved to flirt with him, but lately she’d grown increasingly cold.

Seeing the bathroom door close, Ling Hanyu got up and followed her.

Song Qingtian turned on the water, and soon the bathroom was filled with steam.

As she washed, she muttered under her breath, “What bad luck! Of all people, I have to run into Song Yinyin. Damn it—she drugged me! If I catch her, I’ll kill her!”

“Who drugged you?”

Suddenly, Ling Hanyu appeared behind Song Qingtian, startling her. She spun around abruptly and slipped right away.

Ling Hanyu was quick-handed and caught her in his arms.

Song Qingtian’s heart raced with fear.

Oh my God!

I’m so scared!

After catching her breath for a while, Song Qingtian looked up.

Ling Hanyu stared at her and asked, “What did you just say?”

“Nothing… nothing at all…”

Song Qingtian hurriedly tried to push Ling Hanyu away. Since he wouldn’t believe her anyway, why bother making a fool of herself?

Ling Hanyu’s face grew stern. “What exactly happened?”

“Nothing… I just took some medicine, and then…”

Ling Hanyu’s dark eyes grew even darker, feeling more and more suspicious.

If she really had taken drugs, why would she let him go so easily?

“Go outside first. I’ll finish washing, then you can wash!”

Song Qingtian thought the space was too small for two people, and she felt embarrassed about bathing in front of Ling Hanyu.

Ling Hanyu’s expression darkened. “Song Qingtian, what are you doing?”

What the hell are you doing!

Song Qingtian’s head was pounding.

She couldn’t stand Ling Hanyu acting like this—just tell her to get out, and she will! Why all this unnecessary talk?

Song Qingtian looked impatient and turned away, not wanting to look at Ling Hanyu.

Ling Hanyu’s face grew even darker. “What are you doing?”

“I… I didn’t do anything!”

Song Qingtian turned to look at Ling Hanyu behind her, and he was furious. He grabbed her chin.

Song Qingtian’s face turned green. “Ling… stop touching me!”

Ling Hanyu thought about the kiss Song Qingtian had given Qin Aotian and his expression grew even darker.

“You’re my wife—so you won’t let me touch you anymore?”

Song Qingtian shot him a glare. “You never let me touch you back, either!”

Did she think she didn’t know about all the things the original female supporting character had gone through?

Ling Hanyu released his grip, looking skeptical.

Revenge?

Song Qingtian quickly rinsed off and tried to leave, but as soon as she turned away, Ling Hanyu grabbed her again.

Song Qingtian was pinned against the wall. She looked up at Ling Hanyu, who was already soaking wet and leaning in close.

Her breathing grew a bit rapid, and she frowned. “Maybe the effects of the medicine haven’t worn off yet!”

Ling Hanyu almost laughed at how ridiculous it was—but before he could, Song Qingtian kissed him first.

And just like that, the two of them were locked in a passionate embrace, their bodies entwined in heat…
