Chu Liang tilted his head and glanced at Fu Jinchen before withdrawing his gaze from the window. Glimmers danced in his eyes as he said, "We're here."

Chu Liang paid the driver skillfully. When he saw Fu Jinchen still sitting in the car, he patted him and said, "Let's go."

Fu Jinchen raised his head and saw that Chu Liang had already alighted from the car. He nodded his head and walked away from the car. When he raised his head, he saw the Royal Hotel in front of him.

Chu Liang walked in front to the front desk and after giving her name, the front desk lady smiled and replied, "Sorry, because today's special event only has one presidential suite."

Chu Liang tilted his head to the side and glanced at Fu Jinchen. He lowered his head to look at his phone, but didn't seem to hear those words.

"Then give me that one." After swiping his card, Chu Liang walked up to Fu Jinchen and patted his shoulder. "Director Fu, you can go upstairs now."

"Alright." Fu Jinchen kept his phone and followed Chu Liang's footsteps to the elevator.

Because of the early hour, Fu Jinchen and Chu Liang were the only ones on the elevator. Just as the elevator door was about to close, the receptionist ran over and said in English, "This elevator …"

Before she could finish, the elevator door closed.

"What did she say?" Fu Jinchen looked at Chu Liang, who shook his head. Then, he took out his phone and sent an L message, "I'm at the hotel."

The L quickly replied to Chu Liang, "The things you asked me to do have been dealt with. I didn't set the flight for you because I saw Fu Jinchen."

Chu Liang frowned, but before he could reply to L's message, he heard the sound of the elevator shaking.

Chu Liang subconsciously grabbed the handle of the elevator and pressed it against the corner of the elevator. When he raised his head and saw Fu Jinchen's imposing look, he extended his hand and grabbed Fu Jinchen's wrist.

"So she was trying to tell us that something was wrong with the elevator."

When Fu Jinchen saw Chu Liang's calm appearance, a trace of doubt flashed across his eyes. As a woman, how could she be so calm?

However, when Fu Jinchen thought back to how Chu Liang had taken care of those people on the plane, he fell into deep thought once more.

Chu Liang carefully walked in the direction of the button. He raised his hand and pressed the button, and soon a voice rang out, "What's wrong?"

"The elevator stopped on the tenth floor. We ran into a problem."

"OK, we'll be there right away."

Soon, the elevator returned to silence, so quiet that only the other person's breathing could be heard.

Chu Liang slowly retreated to the corner, raised his head to look at the light above his head, and slightly squinted his eyes, "Fortunately, the power did not go out."

Fu Jinchen turned his head to look at Chu Liang, and couldn't help but ask, "Chu Liang, who exactly are you?"

Chu Liang's actions came to a halt. He turned around and glanced at Fu Jinchen, "Director Fu, who do you think I am?"

Fu Jinchen stared at Chu Liang with a grim expression, "Why did you appear on the plane? I clearly told you not to come up. "

Chu Liang slightly avoided Fu Jinchen's burning gaze and calmly said, "So, why didn't you let me go up?"

"Because I don't want you to get hurt!" Fu Jinchen almost blurted out. When he recovered from his shock, he immediately punched the wall in annoyance.

However, he had forgotten that this was a rickety elevator. Due to his sudden action, the elevator began to shake.

"Ah!" Chu Liang cried out in surprise. He looked at Fu Jinchen resentfully, "It's better if you don't act rashly."

Fu Jinchen bent down and looked Chu Liang straight in the eye. With narrowed eyes, he asked, "How many things have you hidden from me?"

Chu Liang pursed her lips and did not say anything. As Fu Jinchen drew closer, Chu Liang could even feel the warmth of Fu Jinchen's breath on her face.

Chu Liang's face began to heat up. She coughed dryly to hide her embarrassment. Lifting her hand to gently push Fu Jinchen's chest, she awkwardly said, "Boss Fu, we should keep our distance …"

Before Chu Liang could finish his sentence, the elevator door slowly opened and a ray of light shone through the door and landed on Fu Jinchen's face.

From Chu Liang's point of view, his hair was slightly messy, yet it did not lose its grace. On the contrary, it gave him an air of unruly handsomeness. The silhouettes cast by the sun on his face exuded a youthful aura.

"Sorry to alarm you." An English greeting sounded out from behind him. Fu Jinchen's body froze and before he could even react, Chu Liang gently pushed Fu Jinchen away and walked out of the elevator while tidying his clothes.

When Fu Jinchen finally regained his senses, he took a deep breath to calm his restless heart. Then, he steeled his heart and followed Chu Liang's footsteps.

"Where's my room card?"

Chu Liang just happened to open the door of the hotel room with his room card. He turned around and looked at Fu Jinchen. With a slight raise of his brows, he said, "There's only one room left."

"What?" Fu Jinchen widened his eyes and looked at Chu Liang in surprise. "You didn't mean to be together with me on purpose, so …"

Chu Liang rolled his eyes and walked around Fu Jinchen into the room. After Fu Jinchen reacted, he frowned in displeasure. "Why do I suddenly feel like you're my superior?"

Chu Liang surveyed the room. After confirming that it was the master bedroom, he turned to Fu Jinchen and said, "Chief Fu, the master bedroom is yours. I'll sleep in the second bedroom."

"Sigh." Before Fu Jinchen could finish his sentence, Chu Liang walked into the second bedroom and closed the door.

Fu Jinchen furrowed his brows as he stared at the tightly shut door. Right now, there were too many things he was curious about.

For example, in the current situation, why could a bodyguard casually open a presidential suite?

Only after Chu Liang returned to his room did he heave a sigh of relief. Fu Jinchen's probing gaze suppressed her, making it hard for him to breathe.

Chu Liang threw his schoolbag onto the sofa and sat down. Seeing that his left wrist was still bleeding, he sighed and undid the bandage.

Unexpectedly, he was still injured.

Chu Liang clenched his teeth and ripped the bloody bandage off his bloodied wrist. However, he couldn't think of how he had been injured in the battle.

She bent down to open her schoolbag, took out a hemostatic, and slowly poured it on her wrist after unscrewing the lid with her teeth.

"Hiss!" Even Chu Liang couldn't endure the bone-piercing pain. At first, his right hand was holding the medicine bottle and he almost crushed it because of the pain.

After regaining his spirit, Chu Liang took a deep breath and poured the antidote into the bottle. Soon, the bleeding stopped.

After resting for a while, Chu Liang took out some disinfectant and bandages, and carefully disinfected them before wrapping them again. Just as he got up and threw the old bandages into the trash can in the bathroom, he heard knocking on the door.

"May I come in?" Fu Jinchen's voice sounded out from the door. Chu Liang surveyed his surroundings and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with his room. Then, he turned the handle of the door.

Fu Jinchen roughly looked around Chu Liang's room before his gaze landed on her wrist. "Are you injured?"
