With me here, Everything will be okay

Xu Ming was driving and he originally planned on heading to the hospital. But Chu Yi Chen, who was in the backseat, had no such plans.

"Drive to my condo that's by the office." Chu Yi Chen's head was lowered and he was observing Gu Xiao Xiao closely.

Gu Xiao Xiao's mouth and tongue were dry and her entire body was heating up. Her face was close to Chu Yi Chen's chest and her two hands held onto his clothes, refusing to let go.

Though this wasn't the first time Gu Xiao Xiao had fallen for Jin Jing's scheme, these two times were vastly different.

The first time, Gu Xiao Xiao passed out and had no idea what happened. Her only memory of last time was drinking the two glasses of wine Jin Jing and Mu Yun Fan gave her. This time, Gu Xiao Xiao remembers everything.

How she got there, how she was forced to drink the water, how Jin Jing's palm landed on her face, how Shi Zi Jian touched her all over.

Everything was crystal clear in Gu Xiao Xiao's mind and the different scenes played again and again in her mind.

Fury, humiliation, sadness.

Growing up, Gu Xiao Xiao's social circle has always been very clean. It's not that she hasn't seen any hoodlums or that she has never heard rather bleak news. However, she never through this kind of stuff would happen to her. She never thought there would exist such an evil and disgusting group of people.

Her tears uncontrollably fell. Gu Xiao Xiao leaned into Chu Yi Chen's embrace and her body gently quivered.

Chu Yi Chen hugged onto Gu Xiao Xiao tight. Only until the car directly arrived below the condo, did he let go to open the car door.

Carrying Gu Xiao Xiao back into his home, Chu Yi Chen looked over to Xu Ming.

Closing the door behind them, he said to Xu Ming in a soft voice, "Delay tomorrow morning's meeting to the afternoon. Help get two weeks' vacation for Gu Xiao Xiao. We'll discuss the rest tomorrow."

"Alright, then I will go back first." Xu Ming eyed the direction where the bedroom was and held onto his stomach full of questions. He then left Chu Yi Chen's place.

After Xu Ming left, Chu Yi Chen returned to Gu Xiao Xiao.

Her tiny body had curled up into a roll and she hid herself using the entire blanket. Despite her effort, it was obvious that she was shaking.

After a long while, after some strength returned to Gu Xiao Xiao, Chu Yi Chen walked into the bathroom, drew her a bath, and lifted up the blanket. He said to Gu Xiao Xiao, "Wash up before you sleep."

"No!" The moment Chu Yi Chen unbuttoned her shirt's first button, Gu Xiao Xiao screamed nervously. She looked at Chu Yi Chen with much anxiety and shook her head repetitively.

"Gu Xiao Xiao." Taking Gu Xiao Xiao, who was trying to escape, into his chest, Chu Yi Chen gently patted her back, "I promise nothing of this sort will happen again. With me here, everything will be okay."

After hearing these words from Chu Yi Chen, she relaxed.

Chu Yi Chen kept on comforting Gu Xiao Xiao. But no matter what he said, she refused to let him help her clean up. In the end, Chu Yi Chen had no other way, and allowed her to enter the bathroom herself as he waited outside.

Sitting in the tub of water, Gu Xiao Xiao did her best to scrub her arms, hands, legs, and her neck – everywhere the Shi Zi Jian had touched. She didn't even realize how much strength she put into this, and didn't even realize how there were blood marks showing up on her skin because of her scrubbing. She only knew that thinking about Shi Zi Jian and Jin Jing made her feel disgusted and made her want to puke.
