The dial tone echoed in her ear as Yu Sheng held the phone, her mind blank for a moment.
Drugged? Shen Yunmian?
Those two words together sounded so absurd that she couldn't process them at first.
But Shen Yunmian's broken, tearful plea on the other end had been real.
Irritation and an indescribable anger surged in her chest. She cursed under her breath, yet in the end, she couldn't just ignore it.
Grabbing her car keys, she strode quickly to the garage.
The engine started, the car merging into the night as it sped toward the location Shen Yunmian had sent.
Her mind buzzed the entire way, thoughts tangled.
How could Shen Yunmian fall for something like this? Who would use such a despicable method on her?
Instinctively, she thought of Lin Ruoyan, a chill crawling up her spine as her grip tightened on the steering wheel.
Twenty minutes later, she finally spotted the black car parked on a quiet roadside, hazard lights flashing.
She parked, hurried over, and yanked open the driver's door.
A wave of heat mixed with Shen Yunmian's familiar cool scent rushed toward her.
The sight inside made her breath catch.
Shen Yunmian was curled up in the driver's seat. Her usually immaculate hair was disheveled, strands damp with sweat clinging to her unnaturally flushed face and neck. Her eyes were shut tight, lashes trembling, her breathing rapid as if she were enduring immense pain.
Hearing the noise, Shen Yunmian slowly opened her eyes.
Those always cold, distant eyes were now glazed with moisture, clouded with desire and disorientation. The moment she recognized Yu Sheng, a sudden light flared within them—like a drowning person spotting the only piece of driftwood.
"Sheng Sheng…"
She whimpered hoarsely, her voice broken and thick with tears.
Almost at the same time, she lunged forward, wrapping her arms tightly around Yu Sheng's waist like vines, her burning cheek pressing against Yu Sheng's cool neck, her body clinging and rubbing restlessly.
"Sheng Sheng… help me…"
Yu Sheng's body stiffened and was extremely uncomfortable by her excessive body temperature and this sudden intimate contact.
She tried to push her away, but found Shen Yunmian's strength astonishing—her arms around Yu Sheng's waist were like iron clamps.
Should she take her to the hospital?
The thought barely formed before being dismissed. Shen Yunmian in this state of confusion—if seen by the media—would ruin both the Shen family and Yu family's reputations. The scandal would be unimaginable.
Yu Sheng's gaze turned cold. She stopped trying to separate them gently.
With a surge of force, she almost half-dragged, half-lifted Shen Yunmian out of the driver's seat. Shen Yunmian's full weight pressed down on her, yet she stubbornly clung, mumbling her name, warm breath spraying against Yu Sheng's ear.
"Let go!" Yu Sheng hissed, lowering her voice and prying at Shen Yunmian's fingers.
But Shen Yunmian seemed not to understand, hugging even tighter, as if she wanted to merge into Yu Sheng's body.
Yu Sheng stopped, her voice icy and threatening, leaving no room for doubt: "Shen Yunmian, I'll count to three. If you don't let go, I'll leave immediately, no matter what happens to you."
The threat briefly roused Shen Yunmian's scattered senses.
Her body trembled violently, and she lifted her tear-blurred eyes, looking at Yu Sheng with a mix of disbelief and fear. After a few tense seconds, her arms, still clinging around Yu Sheng, shook violently, then reluctantly released their grip.
Yet her gaze remained fixed on Yu Sheng, like a little abandoned creature.
Yu Sheng ignored her, swiftly shoving her into the back seat, closing the door, and sliding into the driver's seat herself.
It wasn't until the engine started again and the car glided smoothly onto the driveway that Shen Yunmian seemed to confirm she wouldn't be abandoned. She relaxed slightly, eyes half-closed, body still trembling from the unbearable heat.
The car was thick with suffocating awkwardness, punctuated by Shen Yunmian's suppressed, uneven breaths.
Yu Sheng glanced at her in the rearview mirror, her voice flat and detached: "What happened?"
Shen Yunmian curled up in the back seat, teeth biting her lower lip, trying to use the pain to stay conscious.
Hearing the question, she spoke with difficulty, her voice fragmented and tinged with humiliation and anger: "My… mom… made me go eat… Lin Ruoyan… also… put something in the porridge…"
Hearing this, Yu Sheng couldn't help but let out a bitter, ironic laugh.
"Your… 'wonderful' mother, really thought this through."
Shen Yunmian closed her eyes, long lashes wet and stuck together, swallowed by endless regret and shame. Facing Yu Sheng's sarcasm, she had no strength to defend herself, only humbly repeating: "I'm sorry… Sheng Sheng, believe me, I didn't do anything…"
Yu Sheng ignored her pointless apologies.
She put on her Bluetooth earpiece and dialed a number, her tone calm and authoritative: "Dr. Li, come to Jiuxi Bay immediately. Bring sedatives and medication for strong substances… yes, as soon as possible."
Her arrangements were clear and decisive, purely solution-driven, with no personal emotion involved.
In the back seat, Shen Yunmian's chaotic mind caught the words "sedatives," and her body stiffened imperceptibly.
The flicker of hope sparked by Yu Sheng's arrival extinguished instantly, like a candle blown out by the wind.
Even in this state, her wife would rather call a doctor than… have any intimate contact with her.
The burning heat inside her body mixed with the icy chill in her heart, leaving her in torment, her consciousness wavering.
When Yu Sheng parked, she impatiently roused her.
Shen Yunmian struggled to open her eyes, and with Yu Sheng supporting her, shivered as she got out of the car.
In the cramped space of the underground parking elevator, Shen Yunmian clung almost entirely to Yu Sheng, her hot body pressing through thin clothing, her fiery breath scorching Yu Sheng's neck. Yu Sheng pursed her lips, holding back the urge to push her away, feeling the sticky contact deeply uncomfortable.
"Ding"—the elevator arrived.
Yu Sheng half-dragged, half-carried Shen Yunmian inside their home, going straight to the bedroom and, with no mercy, threw her onto the soft bed.
Shen Yunmian sank into the bedding, letting out a low, pained moan.
Yu Sheng reached for her phone, about to contact the doctor again to check their arrival.
But a rustling sound came from behind.
The next moment, a hot body lunged at her from behind!
Shen Yunmian had somehow gotten up again, wrapping around Yu Sheng's waist with astonishing strength.
"Sheng Sheng…"
Her voice trembled with sobs, incoherent and warm against Yu Sheng's ear. In the next instant, soft, burning kisses rained down on the back of Yu Sheng's neck.
Yu Sheng stiffened, struggling to break free: "Shen Yunmian! Wake up!"
But her resistance seemed only to excite Shen Yunmian further.
Instead of letting go, Shen Yunmian grew more desperate. One hand fumbled at Yu Sheng's clothing, clumsily and urgently trying to undo the buttons. Her consciousness was clearly hazy, her voice broken and hoarse, repeating a plea that made Yu Sheng's heart tremble:
"Sheng Sheng… I want you…
Don't… reject me… please…"
Yu Sheng had to turn her head, her gaze meeting Shen Yunmian's glazed eyes.
Those cold eyes shimmered with moisture, veiled with lust, the corners tinged with a seductive red. Coupled with flushed cheeks, ragged breathing, and sweat-soaked hair clinging to her temples and neck… the usually aloof Miss Shen now displayed a fragile, alluring vulnerability.
Yu Sheng's heartbeat skipped, a rare tremor.
Images flashed uncontrollably through her mind—Shen Yunmian pinned below her, a mixture of shame and restraint on her face, a dark, twisted impulse quietly blooming inside her.
Why should this person be able to force her over and over? Why should only she suffer?
Rage intertwined with perverse thoughts, nearly shattering her reason.
Yu Sheng warned again, her voice unexpectedly hoarse: "Shen Yunmian! I said stop!"
But Shen Yunmian was oblivious.
Patience exhausted, the last trace of Yu Sheng's clarity consumed by darkness, she acted decisively, spinning around and using Shen Yunmian's wild hands to take control before she could react.
"Mmm…"
Shen Yunmian's head tilted back, her delicate neck forming an elegant curve. Seeing her like this, Yu Sheng felt a dark pleasure grow wildly in her chest, like climbing vines.
She leaned close to Shen Yunmian's flushed ear, whispering:
"Shen Yunmian, haven't you always wanted to drive me crazy?
Now… as you wished."
Before the words even fell, Shen Yunmian trembled violently, unable to withstand the intense stimulation, sobbing out Yu Sheng's name, utterly broken:
"Sheng Sheng… stop… please…"
—
After an unknown amount of time, the storm gradually subsided.
Yu Sheng gasped, looking at the chaos beneath her.
Shen Yunmian's eyes were red and swollen, wrists marked by the tie, her body covered in ambiguous bruises, curling dizzily. Yu Sheng snapped fully awake.
Looking at this body, the result of her own "masterpiece," a chill shot from her feet to her head.
She had… completely lost control.
The raging hatred and dark impulses even shocked herself.
Just then, the phone Yu Sheng had tossed on the bedside rang again, flashing Dr. Li's name.
They had arrived.
Yu Sheng stared at the name with a complex expression for a few seconds, then glanced at the sleeping Shen Yunmian on the bed.
She picked up the phone, voice hoarse from earlier, with a hint of unnoticed fatigue:
"No need to come."
She hung up, tossing the phone aside.
Her gaze returned to Shen Yunmian.
Sensing it, Shen Yunmian instinctively shrank even in her dazed state, letting out a small whimper: "Don't… enough…"
Yu Sheng leaned over, her fingertips brushing the most obvious teeth mark on Shen Yunmian's neck, listening with satisfaction to the sharp intake of breath:
"You said it… doesn't count."
The night was long, and Miss Shen had been tormented—an experience she would never forget.
