Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 42: Dare to Do It Again Next Time?

Jiayi, in a hazy daze, felt herself being hoisted from the carpet by a pair of strong arms and cradled in an embrace.

"Mmm..."

Her head was still foggy from the alcohol, and the fall had drained her limbs of strength, leaving her limp and tickled by the man’s embrace, eliciting giggly, drunken laughter: "...let... let me go..."

Huo Zhenyang, seeing her still laughing, raised his brow in annoyance, a touch of anger in his voice as he thumbed her chin open: "Out drinking with others? You’ve grown bold, we’ll settle this when we get back!"

His tone was unmistakably mixed with unmistakable fury and displeasure.

He was truly angry.

A greenhorn like her, just started working, where did she get the confidence to attend social dinners?

Even if it was arranged by Gao Ziming, couldn’t she have refused it herself?

Damn idiot!

He was surprised by his own reaction, too. Upon learning from Gao Ziming that Jiayi had gone to dine with Li Daguo of Leting Department Store, he sped in his sports car, running several red lights with a dark expression, heading straight for the Four Seasons Hotel. George, trailing him by car, couldn’t even catch up.

Everyone in the business circle knew what kind of man Li Daguo was. She almost became prey to that lecher in the hotel room, yet this woman, incredibly, acted as if nothing had happened!

Still laughing now!

As he thought about it, Huo Zhenyang’s eyes grew even colder as he set Jiayi down on the couch.

Li Daguo, with broken fingers from being trampled on, writhed in pain but then saw the man turn around, an imposing figure like a hawk in the dark night, looking at him with a cold, ominous gaze, radiating a violent aura.

Li Daguo shivered, sensing this man would not let him off so easily.

Indeed, Huo Zhenyang picked up the heavy crystal ashtray, leaned over, and smashed it twice on Li Daguo’s head, eliciting another round of screams from the man.

"Hmm..." On the sofa, Jiayi furrowed her brow, irritated by Li Daguo’s pitiful screams, and shifted her body.

Only then did Huo Zhenyang stop, tossing aside the ashtray, indifferently wiping the bloodstains on his hands onto the banquet, with a "swish" sound, tearing off the pristine white tablecloth from a luxurious dining table, and wiping his long palms before walking back to the sofa to pick up the girl.

The entire action was fluid and seamless, a cruel beating appeared almost as if a noble king was bestowing a gift upon his servant.

On the couch, Jiayi became slightly more alert.

It was that man’s voice.

Upon confirming it was indeed him who had come, she felt a wave of relief.

Even though he said he would settle with her when they got back, she didn’t care at that moment and instinctively reached up with both hands to firmly wrap around his neck, nuzzling uncontrollably into his embrace.

She didn’t dare imagine, had this man not arrived, whether she would have been taken advantage of by that President Li, who just moments before had loomed over her, breath reeking of alcohol, face flushed red, and leering obscenely. The very thought was terrifying!

In comparison, the arrival of this man offered her an immense sense of security for the first time, putting her at ease.

Huo Zhenyang, sensing her vulnerability and the rare dependence she showed on him, still hadn’t fully calmed his anger, growled lowly as he leaned close to her small and clean earlobe, mockingly cold: "What now, thought you were so bold, going alone to drink with men and talk business? Are you scared now? Otherwise, just go back by yourself."

Sensing him about to let go, Jiayi subconsciously clung tighter to his neck as though, once he put her down, she would face danger again, mumbling with trembling lips: "Don’t... don’t... carry me away... I want you to carry me away..."

As she spoke, she used both her hands and feet, not only winding her arms around his neck but also entwining her slender ankles tightly around his lean waist, like vines clinging to a trellis, refusing to be put down.

The last time she had a bit of red wine at Huo Garden, she was utterly inebriated; this time, having been forced to drink spirits, she was even more smashed, and apart from recognizing the man before her, she couldn’t care less about anything else.

No man could reject such a gesture from the girl before him.

Huo Zhenyang took a deep breath, still unwilling to let her go just like that, the usually composed and restrained glint in his eyes now flickered with a hint of mischief, "Carry you away? To where?"

In her drunken state, Jiayi realized he was doing it on purpose. Biting her lower lip, her eyes partly closed, she said, "Home."

"Which home?" Huo Zhenyang raised an eyebrow, refusing to let her off the hook.

"Your apartment..." Three parts sober from the alcohol, Jiayi was well aware that this man just loved hearing her beg him sweetly!

He wouldn’t let anyone who was drunk off the hook! Damn man. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"Next time, will you dare go out behind my back to wine and dine with people?"

"I didn’t... It was Vice President Gao who asked me to come. I didn’t want to." She complained in his embrace, her voice almost turning into a whine.

Huo Zhenyang’s brows furrowed, a shade crossing his face, his tone slightly better but still very stern, "Couldn’t you have called to tell me? Dare you do it again?"

This little girl, she never bothered to inform him before doing anything.

If he had known that Gao Ziming sent her to socialize, he would never have allowed it.

Biting her teeth, she finally said weakly, "I won’t dare anymore."

Huo Zhenyang then hugged Jiayi in his arms tighter, no longer caring about Li Daguo lying on the ground, and with a "bang," he kicked the door open.

Outside the private room, the hotel manager and the waiters all instinctively lowered their heads, keeping at a distance.

George saw the president carrying Miss Luo out and quickly stepped forward to meet him, "President..."

Li Daguo, however, came to his senses, enduring the pain from his fractured hand and the concussion to climb up, shouting:

"This is outrageous! Who the hell are you! Is there no law! Call the police, someone call the police for me—"

He was the head of a major department store, after all. How could he be beaten up for no reason without even knowing the aggressor’s name?

Noticing the president’s gaze, George quickly stepped forward, lifted the middle-aged man in one hand with a "whoosh," and sneered, "President Li, are you sure you want to know who beat you?"

Li Daguo was stunned, seemingly intimidated by the bodyguard before him.

Though he was not the most powerful in G City, ordinary folks wouldn’t dare to provoke him, let alone beating him up in his own turf...

George whispered in his ear, his eyes narrowing, "So, you still want to call the cops, still want to shout and make a scene everywhere, President Li?"

Li Daguo’s eyes widened in realization—

It was Huo Zhenyang, the eldest son and president of the Huo Family.

The status of the Huo Group in G City was not something Leting Department Store could compare to, was it?

Everyone knew that Huo Zhenyang, apart from being the leader of the group, was ruthless and heavy-handed in private, the underground kingpin of G City, frequently mingling with politicians from around the world and countless notable gangs. His power in G City and even the whole country was unparalleled.

That he hadn’t been killed in the private room was lucky for him, Li Daguo!

Damn, how did he manage to offend Huo Zhenyang!

Forget the fracture and the concussion, even if he had been killed, he would just have to accept his fate!

Li Daguo’s face turned pale, as he swallowed his saliva, "It turns out to be... to be Young Master Huo. I was blind not to recognize Tai Shan, I’m sorry... I will personally apologize at your doorstep another day... I was wrong about today’s incident, I didn’t know the lady was a friend of Young Master Huo. Nothing really happened just now, you can ask the lady if you don’t believe me... If Young Master Huo is still not satisfied, feel free to hit me a few more times... I definitely won’t say a word about today’s incident to anyone, no one else will know."
