Chapter 1585: Waking Up in the Same Bed

It’s Lu Zhenzhen.

Ji Yanzhi squatted down and shook her a few times, but there was no response. He didn’t know what had happened to her. She was still wearing the hotel’s white bathrobe, but there was a shattered vase by her hand, and if she moved slightly, she would get cut by the fragments.

He couldn’t think much about it. Bent down to lift her, feeling just how weak he was when he exerted force. The untreated wound on the back of his head also hurt. He endured it, leaned against the shoe cabinet, and slowly gathered strength until he managed to pick her up.

He had walked the path to the main bedroom many times, but this time he moved extremely slowly. It took a lot to reach the bed and carefully place her down. By then, it seemed all his strength was exhausted.

It wasn’t just the pain. The more strength he used, the weaker he felt.

His elbow was propped beside her, leaving very little distance between them. He didn’t dare move anymore. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to get up; he simply didn’t have the strength to. His elbow couldn’t straighten completely and kept trembling.

Nearly out of strength, he suddenly summoned some force, intending to rise, only for his hand to be grabbed. Lu Zhenzhen muttered a couple of unclear words and pulled him down.

Ji Yanzhi couldn’t avoid it, tried his best to shift away from her, but as soon as he fell, both his head and knee hit the nightstand.

He lost consciousness.

The next day, he awoke before opening his eyes to the smell of cigarette smoke.

Lu Zhenzhen was leaning against the headboard, the blanket covering only her stomach. Her legs were bent, and she held a cigarette, smoking frequently, her cold eyes fixed straight on him.

“Zhenzhen?”

Ji Yanzhi tried to sit up, rubbing his aching forehead.

“We need to talk.” Lu Zhenzhen’s cold voice reached his ears.

It was a commanding tone.

Memories from last night rushed back. Ji Yanzhi immediately got out of bed and quickly checked himself. His suit was intact except for some creases, nothing seemed amiss.

He hastily explained: “Last night, I went to get clothes for you. When I came upstairs, I knocked but you didn’t respond. Then you suddenly opened the door and pulled me in, and then you hit my head with the vase. Zhenzhen, what happened during the time I was gone last night?”

Lu Zhenzhen’s face was expressionless, her eye color complex, but when she looked at him, there was only a clear chilliness.

“Let me ask you, did we sleep together?”

“…”

Her question was shocking!

Ji Yanzhi immediately denied: “Absolutely not!”

“Then why are you in the same bed with me?”

“I woke up once last night, brought you in, and then I passed out. I didn’t do anything.”

Afraid she wouldn’t believe him, Ji Yanzhi anxiously explained: “Really, I would never harm you, trust me.”

Lu Zhenzhen took a drag on her cigarette and inexplicably let out a cold laugh: “I really can’t trust you. You should be glad your last name is Ji, otherwise I would have dealt with you when I woke up. You really thought I came alone? My bodyguards are outside. If I truly wanted to punish you, you wouldn’t have woken up in this bed.”

“Zhenzhen?”

“You drugged me.”

Ji Yanzhi’s eyes widened in panic: “Where is this coming from!”

“Denying it again?” Lu Zhenzhen slightly raised her chin, her eyes laced with mockery.

Ji Yanzhi was frantic, not knowing what to say, fearing that whatever he said would be considered a poor excuse.

“I’m going to take a shower.”

Lu Zhenzhen uncovered the blanket and got out, found clothes, and went into the bathroom.

Ji Yanzhi quickly exited, heard a knock on the door, opened it, and Gao Zhe was standing outside.
