CHAPTER 331: CHAPTER 328: RESCUED

Lu Shouyue carried Lin Wanwan from the underground parking lot to the elevator, all the way to the top floor.

He placed Lin Wanwan on the large bed in the east room of the double master bedroom on the second floor. Lu Shouyue hesitated for a while, but decided against undressing her, only taking off her shoes before tucking her into the silk quilt.

Although sleeping in jeans would make Lin Wanwan uncomfortable, if he touched her, he feared he wouldn’t be able to restrain himself and might end up devouring her.

After pondering, Lu Shouyue reached out and cupped her head, removing the hair tie from her casually tied hair at the back, letting her black silky hair cascade down onto the pillow like a waterfall.

Such a beautiful and unguarded appearance would probably make even a high monk return to secular life immediately, let alone Lu Shouyue.

He had rehearsed many times in his mind the scene of Lin Wanwan lying on his bed, but never imagined the current situation—yes, this is the room he stays in every time he visits Hai City.

The room was filled with his scent, placing Lin Wanwan in this room was his private intention.

Lu Shouyue’s parents lived in a small villa on Fragrant Hill Road, he usually just went over to eat, but did not stay there.

People grow up and tend not to live with their parents much, gathering during festivities is enough. Living together every day could lead to mutual dislike.

Moreover, he was nearing thirty and still single, so he would inevitably face arrangements from his mom, making fewer visits better.

The duplex apartment he lived in now had floor-to-ceiling glass walls on both sides of the master bedroom, with a view of the river reflecting the city’s dazzling lights below.

But at this moment, Lu Shouyue was in no mood for scenery and for some reason felt a bit guilty.

Clearly, there was only the open river outside, with no one who could spy on this place, yet he pressed the button for the electric curtains.

As the curtains slowly closed, Lu Shouyue sat on the sofa under the window, his gaze quietly resting on the beautiful woman sleeping unknowingly on the bed.

The person on the bed had dense, long eyelashes quietly flung below her eyes, a slightly upturned nose, with red lips naturally glowing, and skin white as porcelain with a hint of blush, making her more bewitching than a flower.

Lu Shouyue swallowed quietly, finding it increasingly hard to look away.

Reason told him he should leave now, but his whole being felt rooted, unable to move even a step.

After a long while, Lu Shouyue let out a long sigh, took out his phone from his pocket, called a doctor friend of his, briefly explained the situation, and then waited.

Just by watching her like this, Lu Shouyue felt he could watch for a lifetime.

What is it like to fall in love with someone?

Maybe it’s like becoming a fool.

Lu Shouyue mocked himself internally, finally withdrawing his gaze, got up and went to the living room outside, taking a can of cold "Fatty Happy Water" from the small fridge, opened it with one hand, and gulped it down, feeling a coolness from head to toe.

About half an hour later, the surveillance at the entrance downstairs rang.

Lu Shouyue went downstairs and pressed to answer, the voice of the property staff came through: "Hello, resident, you have a visitor?"

"Yes, allow them to come up."

"Alright, we’ll bring the visitor up, please wait."

Many celebrities lived in this community, the security kept a tight watch on unfamiliar faces, not allowing visitors to roam freely, nor take pictures casually.

They would escort the visitor directly to the floor of the visit with an electric car, assisting with opening the door, swiping the card, pressing the floor button, and only leaving once the elevator doors closed.

He didn’t wait long before the doorbell rang. Lu Shouyue opened the door to find Wang Lei, a slightly short and stout male doctor in his thirties or forties, entering with a female nurse carrying a medical kit.

"Did she drink too much alcohol?" Wang Lei asked right away.

"Maybe, but the alcohol smell isn’t strong, she’s just sleeping deeply, I’ll take you to see."

They went back to the east room of the master bedroom, after some examination, Wang Lei frowned, his face dark as he pushed Lu Shouyue out of the room.

"She’s not just drunk, she’s been drugged, the specific ingredients need to be tested through blood analysis. However, her vital signs are quite stable now, there shouldn’t be any major issues, maybe just minor dizziness and nausea after-effects."

Wang Lei knew the person certainly wasn’t made like this with Lu Shouyue, with Lu Shouyue’s character, he couldn’t possibly do such a thing, nor allow someone under his watch to do it.

He had been Lu Shouyue’s classmate since middle school, just that after marrying he gained weight, being short and as a doctor often staying up late, aged quickly, making him look almost ten years older than Lu Shouyue now.

But they were indeed the same age classmates.

Back in middle school, Lu Shouyue was the school’s heartthrob, although his family background was unknown at the time, just with his looks and top grades, he was enough to captivate a bunch of female students.

Lu Shouyue played basketball, and he could open a kiosk with the water that was sent to him. Girls from other classes often came in groups to their class windows to watch him during breaks.

Though Lu Shouyue could just curl his finger and start a romance back then, he was somehow single to this day, having extremely high standards, how could he possibly use such a despicable means against girls?

Wang Lei thought that though he was a man, if someone like Lu Shouyue liked him, he’d clean himself up and yield!

A high-achieving Harvard student, so handsome, still Lu Xinghua’s grandson, Lu Xingjian’s only child, and reportedly even more impressive lineage on his maternal side, though inconvenient to discuss, who could resist?

Such a perfect male protagonist isn’t even found in idol dramas.

So there’s only one explanation, the girl was drugged elsewhere and Lu Shouyue happened upon her.

Most likely it’s an affair from the entertainment circle, this fairy-like girl in front of him can’t be ordinary.

In Hai City’s major hospitals working as an emergency doctor, what kind of accidental situations hasn’t Wang Lei encountered? What lies hasn’t he heard?

Someone claimed they inserted live eels for their constipation; celebrities came in to check for infectious diseases from partying too much; some were beaten to near death, with parents who brought the child saying it was an accidental fall.

Being a doctor for long enough, seeing bizarre things doesn’t even surprise him anymore.

These are minor situations, merely having been drugged. Such occurrences are too common, not just in the entertainment industry, but bars are filled with them too.

In unfamiliar places, drinks that leave your sight should not be touched. Girls should always remember, don’t intend harm, but always be wary.

"I understand, should we administer medicine?" Lu Shouyue actually vaguely suspected, now hearing his classmate speak, he was even more certain.

"The situation isn’t serious, let her sleep and see tomorrow, if she feels unwell upon waking, do a body check at the hospital."

"Alright, thanks for coming all this way." Lu Shouyue nodded, opened the door again, and asked the nurse inside who was wiping Lin Wanwan’s face: "Could you please help her take off the jeans and remove the light makeup, nothing else is needed."

"Alright." The accompanying nurse nodded.
