Chapter 153: Chapter 153: I’m here

She cried hard, her body shaking, and her tears quickly made his clothes wet as they flowed down his neck...

Shentu Jing’s heart felt like it had been stabbed multiple times. He patted her gently on the back with one wide palm, as if handling fragile glass.

"Don’t be afraid. I’m here," Shentu Jing said, hugging her and patting her gently.

I’m here.

I’m here.

Those words were deeply comforting to Qin Zhuzhu, echoing in her heart. Somehow, she felt safe in this stranger’s arms. Because of the extreme panic and fear she had felt earlier, Qin Zhuzhu cried for some time before she stopped, then started to hiccup. She had never treated a stranger like this so why was she so comfortable with him?

Shentu Jing patiently helped her to smooth out her breathing, but he was afraid to startle her or reveal his identity, so he didn’t dare move his stiff body or say another word. There were so many times he wanted to tell her that he was alive and well, but he couldn’t.

After a long time, Qin Zhuzhu finally calmed down and said hoarsely in his ear in a soft and helpless voice, "Luckily, it’s you..."

Although she didn’t know who he was, she had a strange feeling when he was here. It felt comforting and relaxing with him. It was as if they had known each other for a long time.

Her words struck him hard in his chest, like a hammer nailing it over and over again.

Luckily, it’s you.

They didn’t know how much the other’s words affected them.

Qin Zhuzhu thought that she was indestructible and nothing would bring her down. But some things were too much for a girl to handle. She thought she could do it all on her own—revive her grandfather’s company, take care of her mother, achieve her dreams and goals. But she couldn’t, she couldn’t, and finally, she broke down.

After a while, Qin Zhuzhu realized that she was still leaning against his shoulder, and she tried to get up, her face red with embarrassment. "I’m sorry, I’ve dirtied your clothes."

"No problem," Shentu Jing tried his best to sound cold and aloof, like a different person. He had to refrain from flirting or talking back like he usually did.

He wanted to touch her and pat her head like he used to, to comfort her, but he ended up retracting his fingers, feeling empty and frustrated.

Shentu Jing coughed and looked away, suddenly feeling hot as he tried not to look at her body and face. This was simply too tempting for him.

"That... You’re Shentu Chu’s assistant, right?"

He didn’t reply or look her in the eyes. "Are you alright? Let me take you to the hospital."

"Um... No, it’s okay. It’s no use going to the hospital for this type of drug. Uh... Can I ask you for a favor?"

"What is it?" Shentu Jing’s gloved fingers tightened.

"Can you help me to the bathroom? I need to take a cold bath," she breathed.

The drug was clearly an aphrodisiac. Luckily, whoever drugged her didn’t overdo it, or she would have turned into a beast! And luckily Qin Zhuzhu was strong enough to resist the drug when Park Minho opened the door. But she had used up a lot of her strength and energy just to do simple movements.

The masked man nodded and headed to the bathroom. A few minutes later, she heard the sound of water filling the tub. Then the masked man came out and led her into the tub, using his gloved hands to guide her.

Qin Zhuzhu found his presence reassuring and somehow familiar. Being with this stranger, she felt safe and secure without knowing why.

After her body dipped into the water, Qin Zhuzhu sighed comfortably. She soaked in the water for a long time, letting her thoughts sink in.

When she came out, she found some new clothes prepared for her and some medicine. A glass of warm water sat by the side of the table.

However, the masked man was nowhere to be found.

When Shentu Jing left, his figure was in haste and discomfiture, as if he were running away from something.

He quickly got into the car and took a deep breath to calm himself down. Then he picked up the papers and started to read them. Looking at her blurry figure behind the frosty bathroom door had driven him crazy.

"Why are you still here?" He jumped when he spotted a pair of eyes on him in the dark.

"There’s only one car," Shentu Chu replied pointedly, arms crossed.

At some point, Shentu Jing thought that Shentu Chu must have peeped at him or eavesdropped when he was with Qin Zhuzhu.

"Call a taxi?" Shentu Jing’s eyes darkened.

"Phone’s out of battery," came Shentu Chu’s reply.

"Can’t you charge it?"

"I forgot to," Shentu Chu’s words were as annoying as the person himself. "So, are you going to tell her?"

Shentu Jing had an uncertain look on his face. This was the first time Shentu Chu had seen his second brother acting this way.

"Come on. Just one person won’t ruin our grand plans,"

Shentu Jing: "..."

Shentu Chu: "Are you going to go back in there? She’s aloneee. What if some wolf comes along and eats her up?"

Shentu Jing glared at Shentu Chu, invisible knives seemed to be pointing at his neck, threatening him to shut that annoying mouth of his.

Shentu Chu could only pretend that he didn’t know what that expression meant.

Finally, Shentu Jing couldn’t resist his anxiousness and grabbed the papers and marched back into the Presidential Suite. The girl, who was wrapped up in a huge bath towel, looked happy to see him.

She rushed towards him but tripped over a carpet and almost fell forward had it not been for the masked man, who quickly grabbed hold of her arms.

Qin Zhuzhu stared up into his eyes...

Those familiar eyes....

His height.....

His build....

Could it be..
