29: Chapter 29 Going to the Hotel_1 29: Chapter 29 Going to the Hotel_1 Zhao Haitang looked at Du Zihang with an icy expression and said to Dr.

Chen, “Dr.

Chen, test these two playthings, the walnuts.”

Dr.

Chen immediately did as instructed.

Cold sweat broke out on Du Zihang’s forehead, “Uncle, aunt, these walnuts were acquired through a lot of money and effort by asking a friend from overseas to get them for me, there’s absolutely no possibility of any issue.”

Chu Shanhe snorted coldly, “Whether there’s a problem or not, we’ll know soon!”

Not long after, Dr.

Chen finished testing and, with widened eyes, shouted, “These two walnuts contain a large amount of neurotoxins!”

Chu Shanhe’s eyes fixed sternly on Du Zihang, and he trembled with anger, “Du Zihang, I’ve treated you like my own son all these years, and this is how you repay me!”

With a pale face, Du Zihang gasped for air, “Uncle, it’s not like that, I didn’t know that the walnuts were problematic, this…

this is all because of Lu Chuan, that bastard, setting me up intentionally.

The poison must have been added by him on purpose!”

Chu Shanhe rebuked, “Are you saying Lu Chuan just by looking knew that you were the one who sent these walnuts?”

Zhao Haitang looked at Du Zihang speechlessly, “Lu Chuan didn’t even touch these walnuts from start to finish.

If you’re going to shift the blame, at least use your brain!”

Du Zihang was nearly in tears, “Really, it wasn’t me, I’ve been wronged!”

Initially, he had claimed to have spent millions to obtain two precious walnuts from a friend overseas as a gift to please Chu Shanhe and to secure resources from the Chu family when, in fact, he had bought these two walnuts for two hundred yuan from a black market vendor known for dealing in dubious goods.

How could he have known that the vendor’s goods would carry such a significant hidden danger?

Now, he wished he could fly over and strangle that vendor.

With a chilling demeanor, Zhao Haitang said to Chu Shanhe, “Your nephew has taken countless benefits from our family over the years, and in the end, he brings you a poisoned gift, harming you.

In my opinion, getting rid of such an ingrate is for the best!”

Chu Shanhe nodded, harrumphing, “Such a beast really chills the heart.

Starting today, he has nothing to do with me anymore, and no one is allowed to help him even a little bit!”

“Someone, throw him out!”

Instantly, Du Zihang despaired.

His doctorate degree was also granted based on the Chu family’s face; if he lost their support, the school would not hesitate to revoke it, leaving him utterly worthless!

“Uncle, aunt, this is really a misunderstanding.

I was framed.

I would never dare to harm my uncle!

Please, show mercy and give me a chance!”

Chu Shanhe and Zhao Haitang turned a deaf ear, leaving Du Zihang to be dragged out by the Chu family’s servants.

Zhao Haitang approached Lu Chuan with a gentle smile, “Lu Chuan, thank you so much for today.

Why don’t you stay for dinner?”

Lu Chuan shook his head with a smile, “Thank you for your kindness, auntie, but I have other things to attend to, so I won’t stay any longer.”

Chu Mengyao hesitated, her face full of dilemma, but eventually stepped forward, “I…

I’ll see you out.”

The two got into the car.

Chu Mengyao asked, “Where to?”

Lu Chuan looked at her with a smile and said lightly, “To a hotel.”

Chu Mengyao’s heart tightened and she bit her lip as she looked at Lu Chuan, “I knew it.

There’s nothing else on your mind but this sort of thing!”

Lu Chuan leaned back, smugly, “You were the one who said I could ask for anything, are you going to go back on your word?”

Chu Mengyao gripped the steering wheel tightly and said indignantly, “I, Chu Mengyao, always keep my word.

To the hotel, then, I’m not afraid of you!”

No sooner had she spoken than she slammed the accelerator, and the roar of the engine resounded as the car shot forward.

Lu Chuan quickly buckled his seatbelt and said, “Miss, slow down, you scared the life out of me just now.”

Chu Mengyao ignored him, thinking how good it would be if he died.

Midway through the trip, Lu Chuan asked Chu Mengyao to stop at the front of a pharmacy and then walked inside.

Chu Mengyao muttered to herself in the car, “He’s definitely buying that kind of thing.

This jerk, he’s the most vile, shameless, and despicable person I’ve ever met.

Even if I die, I’ll never ask for his help again!”

“But then again, it seems he didn’t use it last time.

I have to check later; it would be terrible if I were pregnant…”

After a short while, Lu Chuan came out of the pharmacy and got back into the car, “Let’s go.”

Chu Mengyao glared at him and once again started speeding.

The two arrived at a star-rated hotel.

Lu Chuan approached the counter and said, “I need an hourly room.”

The receptionist said, “Sir, we have one-hour, three-hour, and six-hour hourly rooms, which one would you like?”

Lu Chuan thought for a moment and replied, “Just one hour will do.”

Chu Mengyao’s expression instantly turned peculiar, and she blurted out, “One hour…

is that enough?”

No sooner had she said it than she regretted it, hurriedly covering her mouth as her face flushed with rosiness.

The receptionists couldn’t help but snicker.

Lu Chuan, too, looked embarrassed, cleared his throat twice and said, “If it’s not enough, we can extend it later.”

Chu Mengyao snorted and gave Lu Chuan a once over, thinking it must be divine retribution that his health was failing, and that it was good—in no time, the world might be rid of a menace.

Seeing Chu Mengyao daydreaming, Lu Chuan poked her and said, “What are you spacing out for?

Pay up.”

Chu Mengyao’s eyes widened, “I’m paying?”

Lu Chuan shrugged, “Who else?”

With clenched teeth, Chu Mengyao glared at Lu Chuan for a good while but ultimately had no choice but to take out her phone and pay the room charge.

The receptionist was stunned as she kept assessing Lu Chuan, coming to a conclusion: This man is a master!

Lu Chuan led Chu Mengyao to the room.

Chu Mengyao had been glaring at Lu Chuan with murderous intent all the way from the elevator.

Lu Chuan said discontentedly, “Don’t look at me with that kind of look, it will affect my performance later.”

Chu Mengyao haughtily huffed and turned toward the bathroom, “I’ll take a shower first.”

It was evident that she was still somewhat nervous; her current demeanor was simply a facade to mask her true emotions.

Lu Chuan grabbed her, “What shower?

That’s too much trouble, just lie down on the bed.”

Chu Mengyao’s eyes widened with disdain as she said, “You…

How can you be so filthy!”

Lu Chuan rolled his eyes and then took out an acupuncture bag from his pocket, “I’m just going to give you acupuncture, where’s the filth in that?”

Chu Mengyao’s face was full of confusion, “Acupuncture?”

Lu Chuan chuckled teasingly, “Yeah, what did you really think I was going to do with you?”

Now Chu Mengyao was totally flustered, “You brought me to a hotel, wasn’t it for…”

Lu Chuan said with a smile, “I indeed lust after your beauty, but I have my principles.

If you’re unwilling, I won’t force you.”

Chu Mengyao was still baffled, “Then why did you bring me to a hotel?”

Lu Chuan said, “Didn’t I tell you?

Acupuncture.”

Chu Mengyao was even more confused, “Why do I need acupuncture?”

Lu Chuan explained, “After thinking it over when we got back the other day, I can almost conclude that the mysterious surge of cold energy inside you is because I suppressed it twice before, and your body has developed resistance to it.”

“The cold energy in your body is extremely special, I didn’t expect it to evolve, so the ordinary methods of suppression no longer work.

We must rely on acupuncture technique to enhance the effect.”

“Of course, the one-time cure I mentioned before is still valid; it all depends on whether you’re willing.”

Chu Mengyao said decisively, “In your dreams!”

Lu Chuan resignedly said, “Then we can only use the acupuncture technique, this should prolong the suppression time.”

“Just lie on the bed and expose your stomach.”

After confirming that Lu Chuan wasn’t tricking her, Chu Mengyao obediently lay down on the bed, lifting her clothes up.

Lu Chuan opened the acupuncture bag, took out several needles, and began applying them to Chu Mengyao with a special technique.

His acupuncture technique, known as the 9th Cycle Return to Origin Needle, was one of the easier techniques to master from his inherited memories.

Of course, to ordinary people, it was nothing short of a miraculous lifesaving procedure.

Half an hour after the acupuncture session, Lu Chuan asked, “Do you feel your whole body warming up?”

Chu Mengyao nodded.

Lu Chuan retracted the needles and said, “Alright, get up.”

Chu Mengyao sat up, looking at Lu Chuan a bit embarrassedly, and said, “Thank you.

I had thought you wanted to do that thing with me.

I judged you unfairly, sorry…”

Lu Chuan laughed heartily, “You weren’t wrong; however, I’m waiting for the day you come to my bed of your own volition.”

Chu Mengyao’s face darkened, and any budding affection for Lu Chuan dissipated once again.

She muttered to herself, then asked, “I still owe you a favor.

Are you not going to ask for it now?”

Lu Chuan pondered for a moment, sat down beside Chu Mengyao, and said, “Kiss me.”

“What?” Chu Mengyao was caught off guard.

Lu Chuan said, “That’s my request.

I’m not asking you to do that thing, so a kiss shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

Chu Mengyao, hesitant but committed to keeping her word, reluctantly agreed, “Alright then.”

She then took a deep breath and leaned in to kiss Lu Chuan’s face.

But just as she was about to kiss him, Lu Chuan suddenly turned his face, and Chu Mengyao ended up kissing his lips directly.

Chu Mengyao’s eyes widened, her instinct was to pull away from Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan didn’t give her the chance, prying open her mouth and then pinning her down on the bed, embarking on an intense kiss.

Chu Mengyao initially resisted, but for reasons of gratitude or something else, she gradually relaxed and even began to respond, wrapping her hands around Lu Chuan’s neck.

The two were entangled for a long time, saliva strewn all about.

Finally, Lu Chuan let go of Chu Mengyao contentedly, wiping the saliva from his face and saying with a smile, “I’ve gained a lot.”

“I look forward to the day you seek me out on your own.”

“I’m off now.”

He gave Chu Mengyao a lingering look and turned to leave.

Chu Mengyao lay motionless on the bed, her cheeks flushed, chest heaving, breathing fast and heavy as if she had just finished strenuous exercise.

She couldn’t calm down for a long time because she couldn’t understand why she had responded to Lu Chuan or why she wished the kiss had lasted longer.

Ring, ring, ring…

The sound of the phone brought her thoughts back.

She picked up the phone to see it was unexpectedly from Long Hao; her eyes narrowed, then she answered.

“Mengyao, what are you doing?” Long Hao’s deep voice rang out.

Chu Mengyao explained in a fluster, “Nothing…

just resting.”

Long Hao sounded puzzled, “Your breathing pattern seems erratic, as if you’re a bit out of breath.

What were you doing?”

Chu Mengyao evaded, “Oh, I was just running…”
