Chapter 20 We Are Even
Unexpectedly, instead of being moved, Edmund was even more indifferent.
"If you're dressed like this meeting me, you're just wasting my time."
With that, Edmund turned around.
Xenia never expected that Edmund would be so cold. Seeing him walking to the door without looking back, Xenia couldn't care less about anything.
She jumped out of bed and ran to Edmund, threw herself into his arms, and hugged his waist tightly.
"Edwin, don't go. I'm sick, I'm so cold and lonely by myself. Can you stay with me tonight?"
She said in a soft voice, her body twisting in Edmund's arms.
What Edmund was most annoyed by were women who flirted with him shamelessly.
If it was the past, he would have pushed Xenia away without hesitation.
However, at this moment, for some reason, he suddenly felt unbearably hot. He obviously found Xenia so annoying, but he suddenly had an irresistible urge...
Feeling that Edmund was getting hot all over, Xenia was secretly happy.
The effect of the incense kicked in.
In order to ensure nothing went wrong, Xenia lit an "Incense of Desire" in the bedroom in advance.
This kind of incense was colorless and tasteless, and as long as people inhaled it, they would be aflame with sexual desire. Xenia was fine because she took the antidote in advance.
"Edwin, you are so hot. Can I take off your clothes for you?" Xenia helped Edmund take off his clothes as she eagerly kissed him.
Edmund became hotter and hotter.
However, seeing Xenia's red lips covered in rouge approaching him, and smelling the artificial perfume on her body that became stronger and more pungent, Edmund suddenly felt a strong nausea.
He pushed Xenia heavily.
"Go away!"
"Plop!"
Xenia fell heavily to the ground.
The bones in her back seemed to be broken, but she didn't care to cry out in pain but stared at Edmund's dreamy and handsome face in disbelief.
This was impossible!
Incense of Desire always worked!
She had never seen any man who could resist its medicinal effect!
"So you are this kind of woman. You'll get a sum of money for saving me that night, and we're even. Don't call me again."
Edmund headed towards the door again without looking at Xenia.
"Edwin!"
Xenia got into a panic, and ignoring the pain in her body, she hugged Edmund's right leg tightly.
"Don't abandon me, please. I love you so much. I'm actually a very conservative girl. I lost my virginity the night I saved you. I've never done that with any other man before. This time...
"I did this because I saw Victoria kissing you during the day. I was too afraid of losing you, so I came up with this method to keep you. Edwin, I did this only because I love you so much! Don't leave me, please, boohoo..."
As she spoke, she burst into tears.
This reminded Edmund of that night again...
That night, if it wasn't for the girl, he would have died, and it was indeed her first time having sex...
Edmund's heart softened at the thought of that, and he lowered his eyes and glanced at Xenia.
"I forgive you this time. Just this once."
"Edwin, thank you! I promise I will never do such a stupid thing again," Xenia said with tears of gratitude but was already over the mood in her heart.
"I have to remind you that even if I marry you in a hundred days, I may never have sex with you. If you can't accept it, you can go back on your word at any time."
Edmund didn't want to do that either.
He wanted to marry Xenia from the bottom of his heart back then.
Cold and abstinent, Edmund had never met a girl who could get his adrenalin flowing.
That night, that girl was an unprecedented exception!
However, after he found Xenia, Xenia could no longer make him feel that way that night. Instead, he felt nauseous at Xenia's approach...
"Edwin, being with you is my greatest satisfaction. I will never regret it," said Xenia with tears, looking at Edmund affectionately.
Without responding to her, Edmund left Xenia behind, turned, and went to the bathroom.
He needed a cold shower to suppress the out-of-control urge.
...
Victoria hurried to the Pearl Hotel and knocked on the door of Room 1126.
At the sight of Victoria, Vernon heaved a long sigh of relief.
"My savior, you are finally here. Come and see the patient."
Victoria walked in without saying a word.
She saw a middle-aged woman lying on the sofa with her back densely filled with silver needles for acupuncture, but this did not help her relieve the pain. She moaned weakly and trembled all over.
When Victoria was in medical school, she majored in traditional medicine, especially good at acupuncture.
She could see something wrong with Vernon's acupuncture method at a glance.
She walked forward, pulled out a few silver needles from certain acupuncture points on the patient's body, and inserted the other silver needles a few minutes deeper into the patient's body, and the patient stopped moaning and trembling.
Vernon spoke very highly of her.
About twenty minutes later, Victoria removed the needles after making sure that the patient would not have a seizure again and left with Vernon.
Victoria came out of room 1126.
When passing through room 1125, the door was opened, and two people came out from inside. The man walking in front almost bumped into Victoria.
Victoria hurriedly moved away.
"I shouldn't be too close to your door, sorry..."
In the middle of her words, Victoria was silenced at the sight of the man's handsome face, unable to make a sound.
The man was Edmund!
The person following him was Xenia!
Victoria was not a child, and she knew very well what a young couple could do when they came to a hotel room at night.
At this time, Xenia raised her face proudly and quietly made a victory gesture to Victoria.
Now, Victoria was more sure of her guess!
Edmund!
Just half an hour ago, he was still eating her "Love Dinner" at home. Unexpectedly, after eating dinner, he couldn't wait to sleep with Xenia!
Edmund's cool lips moved slightly. He was about to speak, but said nothing.
"Xenia, Edmund, what a coincidence!
"Edmund, I told Victoria in the outpatient department today to ask you out and I would treat you to a meal to apologize for my hitting your car last night. I haven't eaten yet. How about you and Xenia? Let's have dinner!"
Vernon excitedly wanted to shake hands with Edmund.
Edmund remained unmoved without even looking at him.
Staring at Victoria, he said in a deep voice.
"No need."
