Chapter 176 - Your Social Circle is a Mess (6)
Ling Tianya’s head spun, but it wasn’t due to the drugs, it was entirely psychological.
If the piece of ice that she had bitten and licked at yesterday really was Ruan Zeyan, then it would be absolutely terrifying.
Ruan Zeyan sat on the sofa, picking up his watch that was on the coffee table. Just as he pitched forward, Ling Tianya was shocked to notice the huge patch of purple on Ruan Zeyan’s neck.
When Ruan Zeyan was dressing himself earlier, Ling Tianya’s brain was so busily trying to process what was going on that she had completely looked over the mark on his neck.
That mark was exuding its sexy allure, Ling Tianya’s face flushed red. That kind of intimate mark wouldn’t show up on Ruan Zeyan’s neck for no absolutely reason. It was a massive hickey, it wouldn’t show up just from an innocent or gentle kiss.
The only reasonable explanation for it was what Ling Tianya’s licking and biting had done!
Right then, Ling Tianya’s heart screamed in despair, howling its horror, tumbling in turbulence!
“That…On your neck…”
With his watch on, Ruan Zeyan looked back up, his words calm, “Your handy work.”
“Oh, dear lord!” Even though she knew that it could only have been her work, hearing the affirmation right from Ruan Zeyan’s mouth, Ling Tianya felt absolutely mortified. “I uh, I have some concealer and foundation, do you want to cover it up?” Ling Tianya asked with her face as red as a tomato. With Zhang Li and the lady charging in there with reporters, the moment the news got out, everyone would know that she had spent the night with Ruan Zeyan there. If he walked out with such a huge hickey into the public’s eye, she would most definitely lose all her dignity!
Besides, Ruan Zeyan was a famous man, he should consider his own image too, he should want to hide the mark.
Surprisingly, the man looked at her mockingly, before deciding, “It’s alright.”
“Alright?!” Ling Tianya was literally about to blow a fuse, did she hear wrongly? Did Ruan Zeyan say that it was alright?!
The doorbell rang, and Zhang Ke’s voice flitted through the gaps. “Miss Ling, it’s me.”
Ling Tianya hurried off the bed to open the door, and Zhang Ke timidly peeped past her into the room. “Miss Ling, are you alright?”
“Zhang Ke, do you know what happened last night? Didn’t I ask you to arrange for someone to watch after me? Why is Ruan Zeyan here?!”
Zhang Ke scratched her head, thinking about how Ling Tianya had tightly hugged onto and licked Mr. Ruan with her eyes closed last night, her troubled expression when she looked at Ling Tianya sufficiently explained everything.
“I followed your orders last night initially, hiring two people from a local martial arts gym to protect you from a distance, and they followed you up to the 15th floor after you drank the spiked drink. As I brought people up to the 15th floor, I saw Mr. Ruan carrying you into the room. Miss Ling, you were hugging Mr. Ruan, licking and biting at his neck. After some time, you felt uncomfortable, but you deliriously asked me to change a block of ice for you…”
Recalling Ruan Zeyan’s deathly expression, a shiver ran up Zhang Ke’s spine.
Ling Tianya wanted to disappear, and she palmed her forehead for support.
Zhang Ke peeked at Ruan Zeyan who was sitting on the sofa carefully. “Initially, I wanted to stay behind to take care of you, but Mr. Ruan said he would stay instead, so I was monitoring 1505’s situation.” Zhang Ke lowered her volume to a murmur. “Miss Ling, he didn’t violate you in any way, right?”
Ling Tianya shook her head. Even if he did, with how out of it she was yesterday, she wouldn’t have known either.
Thinking back, Ruan Zeyan’s words weren’t absolutely baseless. Her plan did have loopholes in it. In order to make Li Chenfeng put down his defenses, she had to drink that cocktail. When she was unconscious, that meant putting the control into another person’s hands, and becoming passive. If something changed, or deviated from their expectations, she would be in danger.
