Chapter 223: Chapter 223 Cui Ruyun’s Sacrifice

Cui Ruyun paused, then turned to look, and was immediately shocked by the scene before her.

At this moment, Chen Xuan’s face was flushed red, and his clothes were soaked with sweat.

Moreover, he was frantically tearing at his own clothes as if a wild beast had taken residence inside his body, struggling to break free and appearing extremely pained!

"Chen Xuan? Are you alright, Chen Xuan?" Cui Ruyun hurried over and asked with concern.

She lightly touched Chen Xuan’s forehead with her finger, and found his body hot as iron.

"Poison! The wine... is poisoned!" Chen Xuan shouted in agony.

"What..." Cui Ruyun was startled.

No wonder Chen Xuan was so uncharacteristically unconscious; it was the woman previously who had poisoned him!

Cui Ruyun immediately made a call, "Hello, Doctor Zhang, could you please come to Rose Bar? I have a very important patient who needs your treatment!"

Twenty minutes later, Zhang Hongru was brought into the room by Cui Ruyun.

In those twenty minutes, Chen Xuan kept exclaiming that he was very hot, so Cui Ruyun had someone bring ice cubes to place in the bathtub, and at this moment, Chen Xuan was lying among the ice cubes.

Yet even so, there was no sign of improvement in Chen Xuan’s condition.

"Divine Doctor, how is Chen Xuan’s condition?" Cui Ruyun asked, very anxiously.

"Mr. Chen has been poisoned with something extremely dangerous. If he doesn’t receive prompt medical treatment, it could cause his meridians to become disordered, and he might even be in mortal danger!"

Cui Ruyun was alarmed, "Then please, Divine Doctor, you must treat him at once!"

Zhang Hongru sighed, "I’m truly sorry, Miss Cui, but there is nothing I can do to cure the poison that Mr. Chen has ingested!"

"What..." Cui Ruyun was stunned, "Does that mean we are going to just watch Chen Xuan die?"

"Well, actually, it’s not like there’s no solution," Zhang Hongru said hesitantly.

Cui Ruyun ran out of patience, "What is the solution? At this time, please stop speaking in riddles, Divine Doctor!"

Zhang Hongru looked embarrassed, "Actually, the poison Mr. Chen has ingested is the Hehuan Elixir, commonly used by those low in the martial arts world!"

"Hehuan Elixir?"

"Yes, it is essentially what we call a love potion, but the effects of the Hehuan Elixir are much more violent! In truth, even without an antidote, if one can find a person of the opposite sex to bond with, the poison from the Hehuan Elixir will naturally dissipate..."

Cui Ruyun had never imagined that the woman would use this kind of poison on Chen Xuan!

For a moment, Cui Ruyun’s face turned a deep shade of red.

Although she was already thirty and quite attractive, she was still truly a virgin, and this matter of men and women was causing her turmoil.

Cui Ruyun also understood that Chen Xuan was never a man to take relationships lightly, and if they casually found a woman to detoxify him, it would very likely cause discomfort in his heart.

Immediately, Cui Ruyun thought of Chen Xuan’s wife, Han Jingting!

She then took out Chen Xuan’s phone, unlocked it, and dialled Han Jingting’s number.

However, after the phone rang, it went unanswered.

In the end, the other party actually turned off the phone!

Cui Ruyun was dumbfounded. She had heard that the relationship between Chen Xuan and his wife was not very good, but she didn’t realize it was to such a terrible extent.

"Hot! So hot!" In the bathtub, Chen Xuan was still shrieking in agony.

His blood vessels were bulging, as if they were about to burst, and even the ice cubes had melted.

Seeing Chen Xuan in such pain, Cui Ruyun was frantic.

Eventually, she gritted her teeth and made a bold decision that even startled herself.

"Alright, Divine Doctor, I will figure out what to do next, you may leave now."

"Ah? This..."

"Remember, you cannot speak of today’s matter to anyone!" Cui Ruyun warned.

Zhang Hongru was taken aback, seeming to have realized something, and then hurriedly nodded, "Rest assured, Miss Cui, I was never here tonight!"

With that, Zhang Hongru walked straight out of the room.

"All of you, out!" Cui Ruyun drove the other subordinates away as well.

Click!

The room door locked from the inside.

Cui Ruyun watched Chen Xuan, who was in immense pain in the bathtub, and her jade fingers gently pulled down the zipper of her long dress.

The red long dress fell silently to the ground.

Then, with her fair jade feet stepping on the floor, Cui Ruyun moved step by step toward Chen Xuan...

The next morning, when Chen Xuan woke up, he felt sore all over and his head was somewhat swollen.

Then, as he took in his surroundings, he was even more stunned.

He found himself in a strange room filled with a pleasant scent of perfume, and from the room’s decor, it was clear that this was a woman’s room!

Chen Xuan’s mind went completely blank.

He remembered that last night he had drowned his sorrows in excessive drinking at the bar.

Latterly, it seemed a woman had offered to drink with him.

After he downed that drink, he remembered nothing else.

As for where this room was, and why he was there, he had no clue whatsoever.

As Chen Xuan was bewildered, the room door suddenly opened.

With the sound of high heels tapping against the floor, a graceful figure walked in.

Cui Ruyun!

Today’s Cui Ruyun was as beautiful as ever, but there was an added charm of a mature woman in her eyebrows and eyes.

Like a peony that was already blooming, after being nourished by rainwater, it appeared even more fresh and moving, and temptingly delicate.

There was still a hint of blush on her pretty cheeks.

And at the sight of Chen Xuan, the blush on her face intensified.

"You... you’re awake," Cui Ruyun said softly as she placed a glass of water by Chen Xuan’s bedside.

Chen Xuan was taken aback. "Why am I at your place?"

Cui Ruyun paused, then asked, "Don’t you remember what happened last night?"

Chen Xuan shook his head. "I only remember drinking a lot of alcohol last night; the rest is a complete blank."

Cui Ruyun let out a wry smile, her face showing a trace of bitterness.

She had given the most important thing to him the previous day, yet now he remembered nothing of it.

Cui Ruyun felt somewhat wronged inside.

"Right, you haven’t answered my question. Why am I at your place, and what exactly happened last night?" Chen Xuan pressed on.

Cui Ruyun composed herself and forced a smile, "Nothing much, you got drunk at my bar last night and I saw you, so I brought you here to rest for the night."

Cui Ruyun sidestepped the weightier issues, offering just a light explanation of everything.

"I see..." Chen Xuan nodded.

Then, Chen Xuan suddenly thought of something else, "Right, what time is it now?"

Cui Ruyun checked her watch, "Almost half-past nine."

"I have something I need to attend to, I must leave now!" Chen Xuan said as he hurriedly put on his clothes.

"What’s so urgent that you can’t even stay for a meal?" Cui Ruyun appeared reluctant.

As Chen Xuan reached the door, he paused, "It’s nothing, just off to get a divorce..."

Cui Ruyun: "..."
