Chapter 24
Qin Chaoyan’s fingers were slightly cold, and the cold water left on his fingertips wet Ye Rongxu’s fine white chin.
Ye Rongxu was forced to look up slightly, and his eyes collided into another pair of eyes with some panic.
Qin Chaoyan’s eyes were dark and deep, but the whites of his eyes were red, like the sea surface of a storm, calm and suppressed.
As he approached, Ye Rongxu felt the coolness brought by the water vapor on his body, and his heart became more and more flustered.
His hand on the armrest of the wheelchair subconsciously pressed the button, but before he could, the back of his hand was suddenly covered by Qin Caoyan’s other hand, trapping it. The cold water left on the other person’s hand stimulated the skin on the back of his hand, causing his body to tremble slightly.
The next moment, a slightly cool touch fell on his lips.
Ye Rongxu’s beautiful eyes were opened wide, his mind was buzzing, and his whole person was completely frozen.
Qin Chaoyan just grazed lightly on his lips at first, and then, for some reason, he suddenly grabbed the back of his head, invading his lips and tongue, burning like an intense wildfire.
Unknowingly, he began kneeling in front of the wheelchair, and his other hand pressed on Ye Rongxu’s back, almost trapping the other’s thin body with a faint smell of medicine in his arms.
Ye Rongxu whimpered, and his glass-clear eyes were filled with water vapor and panic, and his body trembled slightly.
Qin Chaoyan seemed to sense his fear and gradually became gentle, kissing the tip of his eyebrows, the corner of his lips, and his chin.
Ye Rongxu breathed a sigh of relief and tried to stop him, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was caught and kissed again.
Ye Rongxu: “…”
He was so angry that he wanted to cry.
What happened to Qin Chaoyan?
Just when he was flustered, footsteps suddenly came from outside the bathroom.
Ye Rongxu panicked instantly; his eyes and cheeks flushed, and his thin white fingers pressed on Qin Chaoyan’s wet suit, trying to push him away.
But his strength was like a cat’s paw, and his fingers were easily caught.
Just as the footsteps were about to come in, Qin Chaoyan finally let him go.
He seemed to wake up for a moment, got up with difficulty, staggered back two steps, and leaned his back against the partition of the bathroom, breathing hard.
Almost at the same time, Ye Boxuan’s voice came from the door: “Xu Xu?”
Ye Rongxu didn’t have time to look at Qin Chaoyan. He turned his head to the door, his eyes still full of water, and his expression was aggrieved.
Ye Boxuan’s face sank when he saw their situation. He walked in and asked: “What’s going on?”
Qin Chaoyan closed his eyes and shook his head with difficulty.
Ye Rongxu only had time to shout “Dad,” and then Chen Jiang rushed over with the family doctor.
Chen Jiang was stunned when he saw the situation.
Soon, both of them were taken back to the room upstairs.
When Ye Rongxu was pushed out of the bathroom, he happened to see Qin Jingxu and the onlookers not far away.
Ye Boxuan didn’t want him to look any more, so he pushed him to the elevator quickly.
During this time, Ye Rongxu wanted to look back at Qin Chaoyan, but his sight was blocked, so his expression was a little depressed.
Back in the hotel room, Ye Boxuan raised his hand to feel Ye Rongxu’s forehead. After making sure that he was fine, he gave a few instructions, then left and went to see Qin Chaoyan next door.
He wasn’t blind. After looking at Qin Chaoyan a few more times, he vaguely guessed that something wasn’t right with him.
As for Qin Jingxu…
Ye Boxuan had been watching the scene in the corridor longer than Ye Rongxu, and he also noticed that Qin Jingxu was abnormal. He guessed that the other party was probably in the same situation as Qin Chaoyan.
He went to see Qin Chaoyan first, and after confirming that Qin Chaoyan was okay, he was completely relieved. Then he walked out of the room and said to Chen Jiang, “Call the police.”
Spiking the wine at the engagement banquet was really sinister. If it was poison…
Ye Boxuan’s face sank, and he hurried downstairs to deal with this matter.

In the room, Qin Chaoyan sat on the bed, gripping the bed sheet tightly with his five fingers. His handsome face was slightly red, and his forehead was covered with sweat. His condition didn’t improve much.
The doctor had put away the medicine box and said: “This drug has no side effects, but it’s difficult to endure. Just drink more hot water to promote metabolism. Of course, if you really can’t bear it, you can… do it manually.”
Qin Chaoyan looked up at him, his black eyes a little empty.
Seeing that he didn’t seem to understand, the doctor explained again: “Just solve it with your hands.”
Qin Chaoyan froze, and his pupils trembled slightly.
The doctor smiled again and said, “Young man, don’t be embarrassed. This is normal for adults. Sometimes it’s not good to hold it in.”
The young master is in poor health after all, so Qin shouldn’t think too much. If he’s not self-sufficient, what else can he do?
“Of course, it should be in moderation. Too much is as bad as too little.” The doctor picked up the medicine box and added before leaving.
Qin Chaoyan: “…”
The next room–
After being kissed just now, Ye Rongxu was taken away by Ye Boxuan and didn’t have a chance to see Qin Chaoyan. At this moment, he still didn’t realize that the other party was drugged.
He returned to the room, calmed down, and remembered that he couldn’t push Qin Chaoyan away, no matter how hard he pushed…
Ye Rongxu’s fair face gradually turned red again, like the clouds rising from the sky, but more of it was anger.
Why did Qin Chaoyan kiss him so suddenly? Did he drink too much, or did he forget that they were fake engagement partners?
It was simply inexplicable and left him puzzled.
The more Ye Rongxu thought about it, the angrier he became. Remembering that Qin Chaoyan was next door, he hesitated for a moment but still controlled the wheelchair and went over aggressively.
They were staying in the presidential suite of the hotel, and he and Qin Chaoyan each had a bedroom.
The door of Qin Chaoyan’s room was not closed tightly after the doctor left, so Ye Rongxu knocked twice, and it opened.
Ye Rongxu was stunned. Seeing that the door was open, he thought it was Qin Chaoyan who opened it, so he pushed the door open directly, raised his slender neck, and said angrily: “Qin Chaoyan, why did you…?”
Before he finished speaking, he found that Qin Chaoyan was leaning against the head of the bed at this moment and actually didn’t come to open the door. The other party closed his eyes tightly, his long legs bent under the thin quilt, his handsome face was steaming with heat, his eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and his expression seemed uncomfortable.
Noticing that the door was pushed open, he suddenly opened his eyes. The moment he saw Ye Rongxu, his pupils seemed to tremble, and then he stiffly pulled the quilt on his body up.
Ye Rongxu wondered, controlling the wheelchair to go in, and asked, “What are you doing?”
Qin Chaoyan: “…”
He pursed his lips, and his face was stiff, as if petrified.
Ye Rongxu moved closer, reached out to touch his forehead, and asked: “Do you have a fever?”
When Ye Rongxu’s soft hand covered his forehead and touched it again and again, his body suddenly stiffened like a sculpture, his five fingers suddenly grasped the thin quilt, and his pupils trembled.
Only after a long time did he come back to his senses from his weathered stone statue state. He turned his head stiffly and looked at Ye Rongxu. After a few seconds, he suddenly covered himself with the quilt, seemingly calming his breath, and said in a muffled voice: “Get out.”
Ye Rongxu: “?” How baffling.
He retracted his hand, but before leaving, he cleared his throat and said the purpose of this visit.
“I want to remind you that we are just engaged by agreement. It’s fake. In the bathroom, you shouldn’t… Even if you were drunk, you shouldn’t…”
He hesitated and was a little embarrassed to say it out loud.
Qin Chaoyan suddenly put down the quilt and turned to look at him: “Sorry, I was drugged at that time.”
Ye Rongxu: “Ah?”
His expression was stunned.
Qin Chaoyan: “And it hasn’t been completely metabolized yet.”
“…” Ye Rongxu pupils trembled slightly.
Qin Chaoyan: “So do you still want to stay here?”
Ye Rongxu: “…”
He immediately pressed the wheelchair button, turned around, and left the room in one go.
Two seconds later, he came back and helped close the door.
When he heard the “bang” and the sound of the door closing tightly, Qin Chaoyan seemed to be relieved. But when he thought of Ye Rongxu’s hand touching his forehead just now…
He raised his hand and covered his eyes tightly.

Ye Rongxu was so embarrassed that he didn’t look for Qin Chaoyan again for the whole afternoon.
The next day, when he was eating breakfast in the room, Lin Jiaojiao came to see him and told him what happened yesterday while gloating.
“Brother, you know what? Qin Jingxu was actually drugged yesterday.”
Ye Rongxu, who had just ate a spoonful of porridge, looked up in surprise: “He was also drugged?”
Lin Jiaojiao: “Also? Who else was drugged?”
Then she somehow widened her eyes: “Was it Qin Chaoyan?”
Ye Rongxu: “Ahem, nothing, go on.”
Then he continued to eat porridge.
Lin Jiaojiao hesitated and continued, “Who do you think drugged Qin Jingxu?”
Ye Rongxu shook his head, declining to comment.
Lin Jiaojiao said mysteriously, “It seems he did it himself.”
Ye Rongxu: “Ah?”
Qin Jingxu actually has this kind of hobby? So perverted?
The spoon in his hand almost fell off in shock, and then he was glad that he had changed his engagement partner.
“It’s not accurate to say that he was the one who caused the trouble, but it seems that he did bring it upon himself.” Lin Jiaojiao said, then moved closer, blinked, and said excitedly: “Brother, you left early yesterday and didn’t see the exciting part. It was really such a big show.”
Then she told him excitedly: “Yesterday, Qin Jingxu was slapped by his father and was only awake for a while before he became abnormal again.”
“Qin Qijiang found out that he was drugged, so he questioned Song Yangyang. Song Yangyang was so scared that he couldn’t speak and kept repeating that it wasn’t him. Later, when he was too anxious, he confessed that the drug was given by Qin Jingrong. Then Qin Jingrong exploded, saying that Song Yangyang was slandering him and that he had never given Song Yangyang any drugs.”
“But Song Yangyang insisted that Qin Jingrong had someone give him the drug and asked him to put the drug in Qin Chaoyan’s wine, saying that he wanted to teach Qin Chaoyan a lesson.”
“When he was about to be sent to the hospital, Qin Jingxu sobered up for a while and blamed Qin Jingrong bitterly, claiming that Qin Jingrong had said he would teach Qin Chaoyan a lesson. He thought that the other party would give up after being reprimanded, but he didn’t expect that the other party would still do it and even implicated him. ”
Ye Rongxu: “Did Qin Jingrong really do it?”
Lin Jiaojiao: “Hehe, it got even more exciting. Qin Jingrong really had no way to defend himself at the time, and Song Yangyang didn’t remember who gave him the drug. If things went on like this, the blame would definitely fall on Qin Jingrong in the end, but Uncle called the police.”
Ye Rongxu put down the spoon with a “click” and listened to her attentively.
“The police are professionals at this kind of thing, after all. After less than half a day of investigation, they found the person who instructed Song Yangyang to drug Qin Chaoyan. And guess who? That man is Qin Jingxu’s bodyguard.”
Ye Rongxu was indeed surprised. Previously, he only thought that Qin Jingxu was a scumbag and a wicked person; this is a new low.
How could this person become like this?
Ye Rongxu secretly lamented and then said, “That bodyguard wouldn’t confess so easily, right?”
Lin Jiaojiao: “He didn’t admit it and insisted that Qin Jingrong ordered him to do it, but everyone with a discerning eye could see that Qin Jingrong had no ability to order Qin Jingxu’s bodyguard around. The police have taken the bodyguard away, and they will definitely be able to interrogate him.”
Ye Rongxu nodded.
Lin Jiaojiao seemed to think of something and suddenly lowered her voice, asking: “By the way, was Qin Chaoyan okay yesterday? Song Yangyang said that he drugged him to teach him a lesson. Moreover, I didn’t see you and Qin Chaoyan yesterday afternoon. You guys…”
Ye Rongxu’s mind sounded an alarm, and he said with a guilty conscience: “Us? What do you mean? Nothing happened between Qin Chaoyan and me yesterday.”
As soon as the words fell, the bedroom door behind him opened. Qin Chaoyan walked out of the room in a black coat, his eyes gently sweeping towards Ye Rongxu.
Ye Rongxu: “…”
