Chapter 130: He Is the Antidote

Chapter 130: He Is the Antidote

Huo Tingying reached out to poke her head, his voice tinged with frustration, "Where did your usual wit go? You dare drink anything?"

Yun Mu grumbled as she dodged his hand, her tone lacking any warmth, "Wasn't I supposed to think that you prepared all this for me?"

Watching her cheeks flush increasingly red, Huo Tingying poured a glass of water and handed it over.

Yun Mu stretched her hand to take it, but at the moment their fingertips touched, a chill passed through her, causing her to recoil as if electrocuted.

"You...you should stay away from me."

Huo Tingying's eyes darkened, "Why, afraid I'll devour you?"

Yun Mu, "...No, I'm afraid I'll devour you."

Huo Tingying casually curled his lips into a smile, "I'm not scared."

Yun Mu glanced at him, but his handsome face acted like a catalyst for the aphrodisiac, rapidly raising her body temperature. She turned her head away, gritting her teeth, "Still in the mood for jokes? Now that we know this is Yun Shuiyao's doing, there's bound to be more to come. We have to leave immediately."

She was unaware of how enticing her flushed cheeks and husky voice were!

Huo Tingying's heart stirred, "We're not leaving."

"Not leaving, waiting for her to catch us in the act? It'll surely cause another scandal."

The drug Yun Shuiyao used was likely a specially concocted mix. Despite Yun Mu quickly using gold needles to detoxify herself, it had little effect.

The heat within her body felt like it would consume her whole!

Struggling to stand up, she said, "If we delay any longer, I won't be able to hold on. Let's go."

Huo Tingying pulled her body close, enfolding her in his embrace.

"I said, we're not going."

Feeling the coolness of his chest against her skin, Yun Mu barely managed to stifle a moan, biting her lip hard.

She lifted her head, took a deep breath, banishing the images and desires from her mind, panting, "I really can't bear this...I must return immediately to test my blood, trace the source, and prepare an antidote for myself..."

Huo Tingying cupped her face, his voice slightly hoarse, "I am the antidote."

In an instant, Yun Mu's heart and body were overwhelmed with desire she couldn't suppress.

"Huo Tingying, you..." Before she could finish, Yun Mu couldn't control a sob escaping her throat, her body beginning to wriggle uncontrollably...

Huo Tingying felt something explode in his mind.

Despite his usual self-control, his body reacted instantly.

"This drug is no ordinary one. By the time you prepare the antidote, you'll have exploded from the effects. I can't bear to watch you suffer."

Huo Tingying's deep, husky voice betrayed his restraint and longing.

He laid her gently on the bed, kissing her eyelashes tenderly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, don't be afraid..."

Yun Mu stared intently at the man before her, subconsciously opening her mouth, "No, your body is still..." in recovery.

But the rest of her words were silenced by his kiss.

Yun Mu could only emit muffled cries.

A passionate kiss swept over her!

In that moment, Yun Mu's restless heart found its place.

Outside the window, fireworks continued to dazzle.

Inside the room, passion burned fiercely, wild and luxurious!

Time ticked by, the red candles gradually burning down...

...

"How is it? Is Huo Tingying on his way?"

This grand show orchestrated by Yun Shuiyao was one she wouldn't miss.

To ensure more people could witness this spectacle, Yun Shuiyao specially invited all the heiresses and young masters of the imperial capital to a hotel banquet.

Once Huo Tingying arrived, everyone would see the show.

"He's already on his way, he'll be here in at most twenty minutes."

Upon hearing the report, Yun Shuiyao curved her lips in satisfaction.

She had specifically asked Huo Jinzhou to prepare the red wine, its potency too strong for anyone to resist.

Yun Mu had been in the room for three hours...

Surely, they had already done the deed.

Yun Mu didn't know how long she had been tossed around, only feeling utterly drained, without the strength to even lift a hand. Every part of her body ached.

When she tried to speak, her throat felt like it could spew fire.

Water...

A warm glass of water was offered to her lips, and she instinctively drank.

"Do you want more?"

A hoarse and considerate voice echoed.

Yun Mu's head exploded with realization, her eyes shooting daggers at the culprit, "Go to hell, you beast!"

Huo Tingying's mind blanked for a second before his thin lips curved slightly, "I was asking if you wanted more water. What do you want?"

Yun Mu felt her blood rush to her head.

"You..."

Her mind went blank, not knowing what to say. She could only barely pull the blanket over herself.

Her entire face flushed red with embarrassment.

Huo Tingying looked at Yun Mu, who was now warily eyeing him, and helplessly curled the corner of his mouth.

This little woman knew how to be shy too.

Feeling the weight beside her, Yun Mu was immediately enveloped in someone's embrace.

That unfamiliar tingling sensation returned, and Yun Mu pushed away instantly, "What are you doing! Stay away from me! Don't get any ideas!"

"Get any ideas?"

Huo Tingying gripped her chin, forcing her to meet his gaze, "Ungrateful one, who was it that was all over me just now, drenched in sweat? Who was getting any ideas?"

Images of their earlier encounter flooded Yun Mu's mind...

Good heavens...

What had she done!

"I... I don't remember."

Yun Mu would never admit it.

Huo Tingying's eyes darkened.

"It seems the impression wasn't deep enough. Then let me refresh your memory."

Seeing him about to pounce again, Yun Mu nodded hastily, "I remembered, I remembered!"

Huo Tingying's thin lips lifted, satisfied as he curved them into a smile, "That's more like it. Next time you forget, feel free to come to me for a refresher course."

Jerk!

Yun Mu didn't want to continue discussing this shameful topic, "What time is it? Yun Shuiyao must be outside, waiting like a tiger for its prey. We need to find a way to sneak out."

"Legally married couple, why sneak out?"

Huo Tingying pulled the woman in his arms closer, kissing her gently yet dominantly on the lips, "Mrs. Huo, you've already devoured me whole. Are you still unwilling to give me a proper title?"

Yun Mu raised her head in surprise, a flash of clarity returning to her mind.

He had known beforehand that this was Yun Shuiyao's scheme, yet he let her come.

Later, he took advantage of her drugged state and slept with her.

Now, he was using the fact that she had 'devoured' him as an excuse to legitimize their relationship.

One thing after another...

Yun Mu was taken aback, "Huo Tingying, you tricked me! You knew what was going to happen tonight?"

Huo Tingying shamelessly defended himself, "I did know about Yun Shuiyao's plans, but your drinking was unexpected. Wife, it's all fate..."

Yun Mu didn't notice the change in his address.

She glared at him fiercely, "Go to hell, fate! Huo Tingying, you jerk!"

She shouldn't have walked into this room!

Even worse, she shouldn't have been swayed by his good looks!

Impulsive!
