The Jilted Second Young Master (41)

It wasn't long before Lin Yitian already started looking for Song Jia. After all, one of the reasons he didn't want to go outside was because he had no control over his surroundings. He had extreme paranoia about Song Jia leaving him.

He was about to order a search on the premises when he felt his phone vibrate inside his pocket.

Thinking that it was Song Jia, he immediately answered it.

"Jia?"

But it wasn't Song Jia's voice that he heard. Instead, it was Rong Jingfei.

"Lin Yitian, Jia is with me. Do you want to see her?"

Lin Yitian's expression became dark and cold. He asked in a low growl, "Where's Jia? What did you do to her?"

"For now, nothing. But who knows, I might get bored and do something that you won't like."

Lin Yitian's expression became even darker.

"I knew it! You like Jia too. I should have never allowed you see her!"

Rong Jingfei, "..."

Why did the conversation become so twisted? She was straight, alright!

Rong Jingfei tried to recover her threatening voice and said, "If you don't go to the location I specify, I promise that you'll regret it. And make sure to come alone. Otherwise, you won't see her ever again!"

After telling him the location of the hotel, Rong Jingfei immediately hung up the phone.

She felt very frustrated. As expected, all men are really despicable!

...

When Song Jia woke up, she was back inside her bedroom in Lin Yitian's mansion. As she hadn't slept here for a long time, it took a while before she recognized it.

Song Jia remembered that Rong Jingfei had injected her with a knock-out drug. She scrambled to get out of the bed, but before she could take a step, she suddenly fell down.

Song Jia frowned. She tried to stand up and walk again. She was relieved that this time, she didn't fall. Song Jia calmed down and thought that maybe her legs had just gone temporarily numb.

When she went into the living room, she saw Wang Han instructing a couple of guards. When he saw her, he gave a huge sigh of relief.

"Miss Su, you woke up!"

Song Jia swept her gaze on the dozens of guards and asked Wang Han, "Where's Yitian?"

Wang Han's expression sank. His expression confirmed Song Jia's inner suspicions.

"Miss Su, I don't know either. Just as we were about to go home, the two of you suddenly went missing. We thought both of you just went back home early, but when we arrived, I only saw you. Second young master was nowhere to be found. We tried to wake you up, but you stayed deeply asleep."

Song Jia pursed her lips. "How long had Yitian gone missing?"

"Miss Su, it's been three hours."

Song Jia's expression became cold. She took out her phone and dialed Rong Jingfei's number. But before it could ring twice, she heard Wang Han suddenly shout.

"Second young master!"

Song Jia quickly glanced up. She saw Lin Yitian holding the front door for support, his face looking pale and sickly. Wang Han tried to support him, but Lin Yitian shoved him away.

"Don't touch me!" he shouted angrily. His expression was contorted into a vicious mask of rage.

Lin Yitian ran up the stairs and into a guest room, slamming the door shut. The loud sound reverberated across the mansion. Lin Yitian didn't even take a single look at Song Jia.

Song Jia's face was pale. The Lin Yitian right now seemed as if he had gone back to his former self. Wang Han helplessly looked at her.

"Miss Su..."

Song Jia took a deep breath. "It's alright, I'll take care of this."

She followed after Lin Yitian.

When she went inside the guest room, Song Jia saw that the bed was empty. Then she suddenly heard a retching noise, and saw that the bathroom door was half-open.

Song Jia pushed it aside.

Lin Yitian was kneeling in front of the toilet, vomiting. He kept at it until there was nothing to throw up. But Lin Yitian didn't seem to be satisfied until dry heaves tore at his stomach muscles, bringing tears to his eyes.

"Yitian!"

She knelt down beside him and tried to rub his back. But Lin Yitian waved her off, and stuck his head back in front of the toilet. He wanted to vomit again, but not even his stomach acid came up. Finally, Lin Yitian wiped his mouth with the back of his hand.

He glanced at Song Jia. Their gazes locked, but Lin Yitian's eyes were shuttered, giving Song Jia no clue as to what was going inside his mind. His eyelashes lowered over his dark eyes, intently watching his hands.

After a minute of staying silent, he said hoarsely, "Don't touch me, Jia."

Song Jia softened her voice. "Yitian, what's wrong? What did Rong Jingfei do to you?"

Because she was angry, she didn't even call her 'Sister Rong.' What did Rong Jingfei do to Lin Yitian to make him suffer like this?

At Song Jia's question, Lin Yitian visibly shuddered. He didn't look up at her, but kept his eyes at his hands. His face was pale, nearly bloodless. After clenching and unclenching his hands, he slightly moved his lips.

In a soft voice that sounded just like a child's, he said, "She...drugged me."

Song Jia stiffened in shock. Somehow, she didn't think Lin Yitian was talking about a knock-out drug, like the same one Rong Jingfei used on her.

After what seemed like a long time, Lin Yitian finally raised his eyes and looked at Song Jia. His eyes were dull and vacant. When he spoke, there was a soundless hint of a plea.

"Jia...I touched her."

...

Song Jia went down towards the living room with a calm expression. She ignored Wang Han's questioning look and went out of the mansion.

Breathing in the cold, night air, Song Jia felt that she was finally calm. She dialled Rong Jingfei's number, her fingers quick and precise. After it rang thrice, she heard Rong Jingfei's tired voice.

"Jia."

Song Jia went straight to the point. "You drugged Yitian with an aphrodisiac?"

Aphrodisiacs were love drugs that could make a person become sexually aroused, to the point that they couldn't control their sexual urges. Pharmaceutical and synthetic drugs were usually even more dangerous, as they could make a person directly lose his mind.

Rong Jingfei's voice was filled with guilt.

"I...did."

"Why?" Song Jia's voice was ice-cold. There was no warmth in it whatsoever.

"Jia, I just wanted to test him. I don't want you to end up like me, becoming broken-hearted because someone you love betrayed you. You've only met Yitian for a short time, so you'll easily recover. Jia, I...I just wanted to protect you."

Rong Jingfei's voice sounded as if she was about to cry.

"And you thought that the way to protect me was to drug Yitian with an aphrodisiac?"

"Jia, I know what I did was wrong." Rong Jingfei finally broke down and sobbed, her voice sounding thick with tears. "I'm sorry, I really am. I shouldn't have done it. I really shouldn't have compared Lin Yitian with Shenglan. Jia, you're right, Lin Yitian is different from him. Even though I drugged him...he still passed my test. He really loves you, Jia."

Song Jia said sharply, "He's been trying to make himself vomit after he came home. He couldn't even meet my eyes! Rong Jingfei, he's filled with guilt because he touched you. You should apologize to him, not to me!"

There was a long silence over the phone. Song Jia thought Rong Jingfei had already hung up when her disbelieving voice came over the phone.

"He said he touched me? Jia, after I told him to drink the drug and threatened him that I'll harm you if he didn't, even when I locked the door, nothing happened between us!"

Song Jia, "..."

Ha?

"I tried all ways to seduce him, but he didn't budge. He was red all over, looking as if he could no longer hold it back. When I finally showed him my naked body, feeling that I would win, all he did was to ask me where you were! Finally, after more than hour, I accepted my defeat and opened the door. I told him you were back in the mansion, safe and sound. That's when..."

Rong Jingfei's voice suddenly became higher in pitch. "Don't tell me he was vomiting because he touched me when he shoved me out of the doorway?!"

Song Jia, "..."

Rong Jingfei was still whining in her ear.

"What did he think I was, a poisonous bug? When I started showing him my body, did you know what he said to me? 'You're disgusting!' That's what he said. And now because of a little skin contact, he's vomiting his guts out?! Did he think I wanted to touch him either? I planned that after he pounced on me, I would tase him!"

Song Jia, "..."

She silently hung up the phone.

Remembering Lin Yitian's soulless look, seemingly as if he had gone through something traumatic...

Ah.

This grandma really wants to strangle the two of them, ah~
