Chapter 13 An Inexplicable Slap

Her mind was blank, and she lost all the memories of last night. She wanted to recall something, but she only felt a sharp headache.

The surroundings were unfamiliar, and the room was clean and exuding a faint fragrance. The big soft bed was very tidy, the lamp that slightly glowed brought a romantic atmosphere.

"You're awake. I think you will sleep a little longer." A familiar voice sounded, and his tone was gentle. She looked up at the door of the room, seeing that Bai Yichen walked towards her with the ginger decoction in his hand.

Xiao Ruoyi quickly supported herself up with her hands, but her temples ached again, "Yichen, why am I here?"

The scenes in her memory flashed quickly, but she could only vaguely remember that she came out of the conference room and went straight to the bar, but she couldn't remember much after that. Just incomplete scenes.

Suddenly, a blurry scene appeared in her mind. It was so real that Xiao Ruoyi clenched the quilt tightly.

That kiss last night...

She pressed her lips uncontrollably and averted her gaze, "Did I do anything wrong last night?" After saying that, her cheeks turned slightly red. In order not to let Bai Yichen know, she turned her head away.

"No, you're very obedient when you're drunk. You slept soundly for the entire night. It was stormy outside, but it didn't wake you up." Bai Yichen smiled and placed a glass of milk on the small cabinet beside the bed. He carefully placed the breakfast on the table.

Looking at the sleepy Xiao Ruoyi, Bai Yichen explained gently, "You were drunk last night, so I brought you back here."

Hearing this, Xiao Ruoyi nodded, but He Yuzhe's name appeared in her mind. She didn't come home the whole night, and she didn't know if Yuzhe was angry or not.

Xiao Ruoyi sneered. She could not stop herself from thinking about that man's name. She shook her head helplessly and took a sip of the warm milk beside her. The smooth taste warmed her heart.

"Yichen, what time is it?" Xiao Ruoyi suddenly remembered that she had to go to work in the He Group. She glanced at the alarm clock in a panic and felt uneasy. She wanted to get up.

"Ruoyi, don't go back to He Yuzhe anymore. I've arranged it for you. According to what I say, go abroad and live your life." Bai Yichen placed a ticket in front of Xiao Ruoyi, then placed a suitcase that he had already prepared beside the bed.

Looking at everything that Bai Yichen had prepared carefully, Xiao Ruoyi was moved. Her outstretched hand finally stopped in the air, and her eyes flickered with vacillation.

She couldn't leave. She couldn't abandon everything of the Xiao family and go abroad alone to hide.

Her eyes dimmed and she forced a smile on her face before finally lowering her hand, "Yichen, thank you, but I can't leave alone right now."

Xiao Ruoyi's haggardness was reflected in his eyes, and Bai Yichen felt painful. However, this answer was something he could foresee. He knew Xiao Ruoyi's character and knew that once she made a choice, she would never regret it.

"Since you don't want to, then forget it. Even if you don't go abroad, don't bear all this alone. I will help you. As Bai Yichen spoke, his eyes were fixed on Xiao Ruoyi's face.

Xiao Ruoyi was just about to answer when she heard a sound coming from the door. She saw that a woman with a graceful body and light makeup walked in, who seemed to exude a sense of authority and oppression with her every move.

Her gaze landed on Xiao Ruoyi's position, and her sharp gaze made Xiao Ruoyi retreat a little.

"Yichen, why didn't you tell me about the guest at home?" Although the woman spoke with a polite tone, the annoyance in her voice was already revealed.

Her high heels clattered on the floor and she looked at Xiao Ruoyi and Bai Yichen expressionlessly.

"Mom, why are you back so early? Ruoyi was drunk last night, so I brought her back." Bai Yichen explained. There was a hint of panic in his eyes.

Xiao Ruoyi looked at the woman and gradually recalled her face. She was Su Wenyao, a powerful woman in the business world who took the helm of the Bai family. As a child, the Xiao family and the Bai family had cooperated, but Xiao Ruoyi only met this woman once.

"Women nowadays are becoming more and more shameless. They are Seducing men so aboveboard." Su Wenyao walked towards Xiao Ruoyi and held her cheek tightly with one hand. Before Xiao Ruoyi could react, Su Wenyao's hand directly hit her cheek.

Red marks appeared on Xiao Ruoyi's face with every slap. Although she didn't use much strength, but it was enough to make Xiao Ruiyi fell sideways on the edge of the bed.

"Mom, what are you doing!" Bai Yichen did not expect Su Wenyao to do this. He suddenly stood up and protected Xiao Ruoyi with his body. His tone was a little excited.

Her mother clearly knew Xiao Ruoyi's identity, and even her family had acquaintance with the Xiao family, so how could she treat Xiao Ruoyi like this?

"What am I doing? The Xiao family doesn't know how to teach their daughter. I'll teach her. First, you seduce Xiaoya's fiancé and now you're in Xiaochen's bed. Shouldn't I hit a woman like her?" There was power in her voice, and every word seemed to have a powerful aura. Her tightly knitted eyebrows made others' body tighten.

Then, the door behind them was pushed open again, and Bai Muya's voice was heard, "Mom, don't embarrass Ruoyi. Brother Yuzhe said that she only wanted to pay her debts. Besides, since brother Yuzhe promised to marry me, he wouldn't break his promise."

Xiao Ruoyi, still dizzy, raised her head and looked at her. Bai Muya's figure was reflected in her eyes, as well as the familiar figure beside her, He Yuzhe.

The words pierced into Xiao Ruoyi's heart. So, they had already gotten engaged?

"Xiaoya, where did you go last night? Do you know how worried I was?" Su Wenyao softened her tone and turned to look at Bai Muya.

"I stayed at brother Yuzhe's place last night. This morning, he sent me back because he was worried that something would happen to me." Bai Muya smiled, her dimples formed on her cheeks. She glanced at Xiao Ruoyi from time to time with complacency.

Xiao Ruoyi did not say anything. She covered her face with one hand and looked at He Yuzhe. She wished He Yuzhe could explain, but he did not.

She smiled bitterly and lowered her eyes. Her cheeks were slightly hot from the slap, but her heart was even more painful.

Bai Yichen saw what happened in front of him, clenching his fists.
