Chapter 540: Specifically Sent to Cause Trouble

At this critical moment, running into Yin Yezi was undoubtedly extremely miserable.

Shen Yan felt that perhaps things had been going too smoothly lately, and the heavens had specifically sent Yin Yezi to come and block his path. Just as Shen Yan was preparing to bypass Yin Yezi to head to 802, Yin Yezi suddenly called him to a stop and asked with concern, "Are you not feeling well? Your face is so red, and it looks like you're having trouble breathing."

Without waiting for Shen Yan to reply, Yin Yezi continued, "I know you're busy with work, but you need to balance work and rest. Don't think about work matters when you're off the clock."

"It's just a small problem!"

A flash of surprise crossed Shen Yan's eyes.

Ever since the press conference last time, for some reason, Yin Yezi hadn't looked at him with any kindness; she was either cold-snorting or ignoring him for no apparent reason.

It left Shen Yan completely baffled, and he even wondered if he had offended her somewhere.

When he asked for the reason, he was only met with eye-rolls time and again.

Was she possessed today or something? Suddenly acting all concerned.

It was only then that Shen Yan noticed Yin Yezi's complexion didn't look good, her lips were pale, and he guessed she was either ill or on her period. However, he had no spare energy to care about anything else right now; he only wanted to have a friendly exhibition match with Fang Xiang.

Hearing this, Yin Yezi didn't think much of it and was preparing to go to the hallway to throw out the trash when she suddenly felt the world spinning and her head growing dizzy; Shen Yan hurriedly steadied her.

"Hey, hey! What's wrong with you?"

Nestled in Shen Yan's arms, Yin Yezi frowned, her expression looking slightly pained as she said, "I think I have a fever. Could you please take me to a clinic?"

???

After not receiving a response for a long while, Yin Yezi looked up at Shen Yan, only to see him staring blankly at the area below her neck, his eyes bloodshot.

Hmm! How to describe this look...

It was just like a wild beast seeing its prey, filled with animal desire, as if he wanted to swallow someone whole.

Yin Yezi looked down, and her slightly pale cheeks instantly flushed red; she hurriedly covered the neckline of her camisole and scolded, "Where are you looking!"

Shen Yan acted as if he hadn't heard, staring straight at the large expanse of fair skin just inches away. Yin Yezi's figure couldn't be called explosive, but it was still curvy, and her breasts rose and fell with her breathing, the temptation top-tier.

Relying on sheer willpower to hold on for the whole way had almost worn out all of Shen Yan's patience.

And at this very moment, a soft, boneless body had crashed into his arms, the alluring fragrance wafting over, and the smooth skin of her arms against his palms felt simply too good.

Added to that was this coquettish rebuke, which sounded to him like playing hard to get, and Shen Yan felt like he was about to explode.

Following his biological instincts, he slowly lowered his head, wanting to taste her beauty. Yin Yezi's heart was pounding wildly, and she felt at a loss looking at his face drawing closer.

"Is he trying to kiss me? No way, right?

The previous times could be excused—ignorance is no crime—but this time, knowing full well that I am Yin Yezi, he still wants to kiss me? Does he think he's worthy of my sister's feelings for him?"

Thinking of this, just as their lips were about to touch, Yin Yezi pushed against his chest. Although there wasn't much force behind it, it still sent Shen Yan stumbling back.

"How could you be like this? My sister likes you so much, I never expected you to be this kind of person."

Looking at Yin Yezi's face, which was full of anger, Shen Yan finally realized what he had done and felt deeply ashamed.

"Smack!"

He gave himself a hard slap and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I lost control for a moment... Believe it or not, I really didn't mean it. I have urgent business to attend to right now; I will come to apologize to you tomorrow."

There was no help for it; he couldn't explain to Yin Yezi that he had been drugged.

After all, he was going to see Fang Xiang; wouldn't saying that be telling her that he and Yin Yezi had something going on? It would end up causing domestic strife, and Shen Yan couldn't bear to see his woman sad and crying.

This slap made Yin Yezi's anger subside a little. She felt that Shen Yan was acting weird tonight; he had never looked at her with that kind of gaze before, and he had always been polite to her, seemingly treating her like a younger sister.

The contrast was too great!

As if discovering something, the flush on Yin Yezi's pretty face deepened, even the back of her ears turned red, and her eyes darted around, not daring to look.

Heavens! How did little Shen Yan become like that? This jerk, what time is it, and his thoughts are still so filthy.

"No!" Yin Yezi suddenly remembered some plots from TV dramas and blurted out, "Did you eat something wrong? Your..."

Yin Yezi really couldn't bring herself to say the rest.

Following her gaze downward, Shen Yan was suddenly so embarrassed that his toes could have curled into a three-bedroom apartment. He hunched over to cover himself while saying, "Sorry, I'm going to find Fang Xiang to get the documents first."

However, it seemed the heavens had specifically sent Yin Yezi to work against him.

"You can't leave. You need to make things clear first—are you really going to get documents, or are you going to do something bad?"

At this very moment, Yin Yezi had completely forgotten her physical discomfort and took a step forward to block Shen Yan's path.

Her beautiful eyes stared fixedly at him, with the posture of someone who wouldn't give up until she got an answer.

"What 'something bad'? I'm really going to get documents!" Shen Yan kept a straight face, but inwardly he was secretly lamenting.

He should have checked the almanac before going out today; otherwise, how could he have run into this tormenting little girl?

Yin Yezi didn't believe him. She wanted to keep an eye on this guy who might make a mistake for her sister's sake. She said, "Fine, I'll go with you to get the documents, and then you leave immediately." Shen Yan grabbed his head with both hands; he felt like dying.

After pondering for a moment, he chose to tell the truth: "To tell you the truth, I've been drugged. I endured it all the way here to find your sister to help me solve it, but she's not here... You should understand what I mean by saying this. Please, have some mercy and move aside. If I keep holding it in, something bad is really going to happen."

At this point, Yin Yezi's face was as red as a monkey's bottom. They were both adults and had received their fair share of sex education; how could she not understand what the other party meant?

These things were simply too shameful for an innocent girl like her.

Seeing Shen Yan in such pain, Yin Yezi's heart was in chaos, and for a moment she didn't know what to do. But at the thought of her sister, she hardened her heart and said, "No, you bullied my sister; you can't do anything to betray her."

"How did you know?" Shen Yan's eyes widened, his jaw nearly dropping.

He really couldn't figure out where he had let the cat out of the bag.

"I just know!"

Seeing that the other party was stubborn, Shen Yan scratched his head and continued in a gentle voice, "Your sister will understand me. I'll explain it to her properly later. Now, please move aside."

Yin Yezi shook her head firmly. Shen Yan felt his temples throbbing, and he had the urge to beat her up. Finally, he roared, "Are you going to move or not? I don't want to hit a woman, but if you keep doing this, I won't be polite anymore."
