Chapter 1632: Chapter 1614
Today, Wen Zaao was wearing a set of casual sportswear, her ponytail tied up high. From the moment he woke up, he noticed the changes around him; nothing seemed like the things from his country. A wave of anger spread from his heart—he had been ambushed and kidnapped to another nation!
The man frowned, his gaze growing sharper and more menacing. "Who are you, and who sent you to hold this prince hostage?!"
He was ambushed by a little girl with yellow hair! What a disgrace! freewebnoveℓ.com
The man wanted to step forward and restrain Wen Zaao, but his Inner Strength seemed to be sealed by something, unable to exert any power. To make matters worse, his strength seemed drained; he felt weak all over. Just standing for a moment left him exhausted.
"Daring to deceive this prince!"
Damn it!
The man glared fiercely at Wen Zaao, and the next instant, everything went black and his tall body collapsed to the ground.
During the entire process, Wen Zaao looked at him with a gaze as if he had escaped from some asylum, until he fell at her feet, startling her.
The warm breath he exhaled brushed against her toes, tickling and heating them.
Feeling his breath brought a slight relief to Wen Zaao’s heart. Luckily, he just fainted. Otherwise, wouldn’t she have become a killer?
Wen Zaao irritably kicked him, "So what if you’re handsome! Being handsome doesn’t give you the right to play ghost and scare people, or steal things!"
She took out her phone, intending to call and report, but no matter how much she pressed the screen, there was no response. Wen Zaao finally realized her phone was out of battery, and the charger was left at the company.
Frustrated, Wen Zaao stomped her foot. When misfortune strikes, even drinking cold water gets stuck between your teeth!
With a living person lying here, she couldn’t sleep peacefully. What if he woke up and tried to take advantage of her...
Thinking of this, Wen Zaao focused her gaze once again on the man on the ground. There was an indescribable allure to him; she had to admit, he was way more handsome than Chen Shaoyang.
Recalling Chen Shaoyang’s betrayal, Wen Zaao’s eyes darkened, her heart aching.
It’s not that she was hurting over her boyfriend running away; her heart ached because her two most precious youthful years were wasted.
To prevent the man from waking up and assaulting her, Wen Zaao decided to bind him.
She found a rope and tied his hands and feet. After making sure it was secure, she slowly stood up.
"Clang—"
A square gold block slipped from the man’s waist and fell beside her feet.
Curious, Wen Zaao picked it up and looked at it, "Wow, this guy made quite the haul today; he even stole a piece of gold!"
The traditional characters were hard to decipher. Wen Zaao took a long time to read what was written — Ye Chenwang Ling.
Wen Zaao furrowed her brows; King Ye Chen?
This name sounded so familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before...
Suppressing her curiosity, Wen Zaao glanced at the back of the gold medal. The reverse side featured a dragon, coiled at the top, with its mouth wide open. Her slender fingers carefully traced the dragon’s head and its whiskers.
The gold medal was quite heavy; Wen Zaao weighed it in her hand, clicking her tongue; it was worth quite a bit of money. freeweɓnovel.cøm
Thinking it over, perhaps the man stole it from somewhere; it was stolen property.
Wen Zaao casually placed the gold medal on the table, planning to hand it over to the police tomorrow.
She looked up at the man, unable to help but feel regret; such a fine specimen had gone astray—such a shame.
Meanwhile, on the rooftop across, two black figures stood against the wind.
"Dr. Zhuang, is it alright to just leave the Prince there?"
The man referred to as Dr. Zhuang adjusted his glasses and sternly scolded, "Zhou Yi, after spending twenty years in Ye Xia Country, have you forgotten your own identity?"
"...No, no, that’s not what I meant; I understand my mistake."
"Our country no longer uses the title of Prince. Remember, his name is Chu Ge now—he has nothing to do with you, and you do not know him!"
Dr. Zhuang snorted, with hands behind his back, he glanced through the binoculars again at Wen Zaao’s room, commanding, "Keep a close watch on their actions. Report immediately if anything happens!"
"Yes, yes..."
...
The next morning, this year’s summer was more scorching than previous ones. The power had gone out in the middle of the night, leaving the air conditioning unusable. The place was an old house, and before long, it felt like a furnace inside.
Early in the morning, Wen Zaao was awakened by the heat, feeling sticky all over, even the hair on her forehead was stuck to her face.
She seemed to have forgotten there was still someone lying on the sofa; she brushed her messy hair aside, wearing only a camisole and shorts as she walked out of the bedroom.
Suddenly, her gaze was drawn to the black figure on the sofa; she blinked, and blinked again.
The previous night’s darkness had been too deep and the light too dim for her to see clearly. Now, she realized this thief was unbelievably handsome, as if he had stepped out of a comic book.
No, his features were even more defined than those in a comic, and his eyes were like obsidian, holding depths she couldn’t understand.
At that moment, those eyes, potent enough to seduce at just a glance, were glaring at her like an enemy.
"Woman! Who on Earth are you?!" Chu Ge demanded loudly. He had woken up briefly last night only to faint again; now, his limbs were bound by ropes. The idea that he, a prince in his own country, could swallow this insult!
The decor around him was different from any other country he had seen. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t recall any nation having such furnishings.
While he was still puzzled, the door was pushed open, and he saw the woman who had ambushed him last night yawning and walking out, scarcely clad.
Almost instinctively, he quickly turned his head and closed his eyes.
Yet, he couldn’t shake the image of the woman’s smooth body from his mind, petite and slender, especially that waist—easy to grasp.
"Ah!!"
A scream pierced the sky, followed by her petite silhouette darting swiftly back into the bedroom.
Man...man?
Man!
Everything that had happened last night flashed through her mind as if a movie was being played. Wen Zaao clutched her chest; her cheeks felt as hot as if they were burning. She had been seen entirely naked by the thief!
Calming her emotions, Wen Zaao changed clothes and came out of the bedroom with no trace of the embarrassment of being seen naked.
In contrast, the man’s handsome face on the sofa slightly blushed, especially noticeable at the ears.
Trying to boost her courage, Wen Zaao found a fruit knife and held it firmly in front of her for protection. Even if the man was tied up, he was still a big man.
"I’m warning you! Don’t act recklessly! Obediently follow me to the police station later!"
Chu Ge furrowed his sharp brows, suspiciously eyeing Wen Zaao; police station? What kind of place was that?
"Where is this? And who are you?"
