"You brought this upon yourself. Next time, let your memory rise too. Don't forget who you are talking to."

Just as she was about to speak, a cold male voice came from the direction of the elevator. "I really don't know who gave you such authority."

Shen Jingchen's voice was like a raging lion's roar, causing everyone present to tremble inwardly. One must know that this man's emotions were concealed, but anyone with eyes could tell that Shen Mo Chen was currently on the verge of erupting with rage.

"CEO..." It was clear that Director Li did not expect Shen Mo Chen to appear here at this time. He adjusted his expression and turned to look at Shen Mo Chen.

Shen Jingchen did not set his gaze on Liu Xixi the entire time. Instead, he looked at Liu Xixi's reddened skin, and the aura being emitted from her body became even colder.

"Director Li, Zhiyuan Temple is too small for you. It's better if you seek for something else." Shen Jingchen's voice was not loud, but everyone around could hear him.

"You … What do you mean? Did you forget that it was you who spent a lot of money to dig me up? " A hint of incredulity appeared on Director Li's face. Now, was Shen Jingchen going to resign because of a woman?

"Now I regret it." Shen Jingchen calmly said, as if the dismissal of an executive director was just a small matter.

"Can you bear the consequences of firing me now?"

"What is the result?" It was as if Shen Mo Chen had heard the funniest joke in the world, "I can still afford to pay a penalty of several tens of millions."

Shen Mo Chen didn't plan on wasting any more time with Director Li. He walked up to Liu Xi Xi and picked up her scalded hand, inspecting her injuries. Fortunately, it was only a slight swelling and no blisters, otherwise this matter wouldn't have been resolved so easily.

"Are you alright?" Shen Mo Chen asked in a low voice.

"Yes." Liu Xi nodded his head dejectedly. It was clear that all of this was caused by him, but now, it had turned him into the savior of the world.

"Then come with me." Silent Chen took the uninjured hand and walked toward the elevator.

Liu Xixi wanted to break free from his restraints. Now that so many people were looking at them, she didn't know what gossip was going to spread.

"If you move again, do you believe that I'll carry you?" Shen Jingchen threatened Liu Xixi in a voice that could only be heard by two people.

He knew what he was afraid of every time he saw it, and then he would grasp at his own weakness.

Obediently, she followed Shen Jingchen into the private elevator that belonged to Shen Jingchen. She then watched as the elevator continued to escalate until it finally stopped at the top floor.

Shen Jingchen held her hand as he walked towards the CEO's office. Pushing aside the bookshelves, he pulled Liussi into his study.

The blood from the last cut had been cleaned up and was still the same as before. There was no sign of a dispute in this room.

It turned out that her determination to fight for her freedom was so pathetic that it didn't even have any meaning to her existence. Liuxi's heart couldn't help but change as she looked around the white room that was as white as a brand-new one.

Shen Jingchen seemed to be able to read her thoughts, "Do you want me to continue spreading the blood-stained carpet on top of you?"

Liu Xixi did not speak. This topic had never been light. If they were to repeat it, she definitely would not have lost so much blood in vain. How much chicken soup and ginseng would she need to drink in order to make up for it?

"Hurry up and take a bath." Shen Mo Chen looked at the black stain on the front of Liu Xi Xi's chest, his tone becoming heavier.

Liu Xixi nodded and did not refuse anymore. When the coffee cooled, it would stick to her body and become sticky. This kind of feeling was something that could only be described with words.

Seeing her turn around and enter the bathroom, Shen Mo Chen took out his mobile phone and made a call to his assistant. Not everyone in the world could bully her. Although he was always against her, it didn't mean that other men could do the same.

Thinking of Liuxi's red-hot arms and the sorry state he was in, Shen Mo Chen's gaze turned sinister. Director Li, this matter isn't so easy to resolve.

He found the scalded ointment in the medicine cabinet and tried the bathroom door, which, as he had imagined, was locked from the inside.

Shen Jingchen was speechless. Even after so many years had passed, Liuxi still hadn't learned her lesson. If a man really wanted to open a door, locking the door from the inside would be unnecessary.

The coffee that had been sticky had finally been washed away.

The stream of water continuously spurted out from the bottom of the bathtub, it was extremely comfortable, as if someone was giving her a massage. Liuxi, who was in the bathtub, temporarily forgot all her worries and didn't want to get up.

The door to the bathroom was opened by a key. Through the mist, Liussi saw a tall figure walking toward him.

She subconsciously hid herself in the corner of the bathtub. It was no longer as comfortable as before, and she appeared to be on guard.

"What are you doing here?" How could Liu Xixi forget that Shen Jingchen was a scoundrel with a gentle demeanor. Even if he was on the defensive, as long as Shen Jingchen was determined to enter, who would be able to guard against him?

"I'll rub some medicine on you." Shen Mo Chen looked at Liu Xixi's vigilant appearance and waved the ointment in his hand, proving that he didn't have any ulterior motives.

"No need, I'll do it myself." Liu Xixi reached out to take the ointment, but Shen Mo Chen didn't move an inch.

"Give me the ointment and you can leave …" Every time he spoke to Shen Mo Chen, he would become so angry that he would become sick.

Shen Mo Chen stretched out his hand but did not give the ointment to Liu Xixi. Instead, he used some strength to pull Liu Xixi out of the bathtub, "It's not like I've never seen it before. How is it that I don't know about you?"

"That's different." Liu Xixi naturally refused. She used all of her strength to prevent Shen Jingchen from succeeding. Of course, this was partly because Shen Jingchen did not use his full strength because he was afraid of hurting her.

However, if she knew the final result would be like this, she might as well get up obediently, because she might have used too much strength in the end or Shen Mo Chen might have purposely relaxed his grip. In the end, Shen Mo Chen might have been dragged into the bathtub by her.

Shen Mo Chen was stunned for a moment. When he saw the ambiguous position between him and Liu Xixi, the corners of his lips curled up into a charming smile, "So you did everything possible to stop me from smearing the medicine on you. So that's what you wanted."
