Suddenly aware of the man's presence, Lin Ruoxi turned to face him.

His piercing silvery eyes bore into her, sending shivers down her spine.

She felt inexplicably drawn to him, her body betraying her sober mind.

Lin Ruoxi was completely oblivious to her actions as her face moved unconsciously towards Xia Tian.

Her plump red lips, the kind that could make a man salivate, pressed against his face.

Xia Tian knew that she was too drunk to be in control of her actions and decided to act like a true gentleman. He extended his hands towards Lin Ruoxi's waist and pulled her in, surprising her.

The woman fiercely grabbed Xia Tian's back, her alcohol-laced lips slamming against his.

He could feel her body trembling with pleasure.

'Did I become a main character? Why is this beauty throwing herself at me?' Xia Tian thought, slightly surprised, as his eyes scanned the area and landed on the bartender, pretending to be oblivious.

Suddenly, he reached a conclusion and shifted his attention to her chest.

Beneath her thin blouse, Xia Tian could see her nipples protruding through the material.

He pinched them gently, causing Lin Ruoxi to let out a muffled moan of pleasure.

"Mhnn~" 

Xia Tian chuckled at the sight of the helpless beauty that he had picked up. He knew what he wanted and dragged her outside, ready to find a hotel for the both of them.

He made sure to mentally express his gratitude to Ling Yuan as she battled ferociously, while also imparting a few gold coins to the bartender's outstretched hand.

The bartender's façade of innocence could not hide the fact that he had added something to the lady's drink, causing arousal rather than mere intoxication.

Lin Yuan remained oblivious to the fact that his would-be partner had been snatched from right under his nose by Xia Tian.

Hour upon hour, he valiantly fought off the hoard of attackers in front of him.

This is a prime example of why a man must always establish his priorities and remain focused on them.

As Ling Yuan finished off her latest adversary and pivoted, a heart-wrenching realization became evident: Lin Ruoxi had vanished without a trace.

He lost her even before she had entered his life, but despite this, it might have been for the best.

A distant woman is simply too much for a man who fails to act in a proactive manner to handle.

Even if he did end up with her, he would be nothing more than a subservient servant.

Lin Ruoxi's arrogant demeanor was such that the only way to win her over was to tame her.

Unfortunately, the men in this world seemed too cowardly to accomplish that.

They trembled at the mere thought of being confined behind some steel bars, obediently acting in fear. If it wasn't akin to slavery, then what was it?

However, Lin Ruoxi didn't have to worry.

Her great savior had arrived.

Meanwhile, Destiny was diligently working to ensure that Xia Tian's life remained consistently entertaining.

"B-b-boss," one of the men managed to wheeze out, his mouth looking like he had swallowed a grapefruit whole. "Th-the woman, she's gone!"

Boss was sprawled out on the ground, his own groans mixing with the pounding music of the bar. He took a look around and let out a long, sad sigh.

"Did we just get beaten up for nothin'?" he mused, shaking his head with a defeated chuckle.

Meanwhile, Ling Yuan was cruising away on his trusty bicycle, leaving the bewildered bar patrons in his dust.

"Bicycle?!" one of them sputtered out in disbelief. "D-did we just get our butts kicked by a bike rider?!"

Their faces turned a fiery shade of red, the heat of embarrassment almost as intense as the sting of their various bruises.

The humiliation was almost too much to bear.

As Xia Tian arrived at the nearest hotel, disappointment washed over him as he realized it was a luxurious 5-star establishment, rather than the shabby motel he was hoping for.

The receptionist, Qing Xueqin, seemed to be giving him a hard time.

"Sir, I'm sorry but we cannot accept gold as payment, even if it is real," Qing Xueqin spoke with an awkward smile on her face, her luscious brunette hair tightly tied in a neat bun.

Despite her usual composure, even she was amazed upon seeing the gold bars in front of her.

In a soft-spoken voice, Qing Xueqin attempted to avoid offending Xia Tian. Meanwhile, Lin Ruoxi, at the mercy of her intoxicated state, constantly showered Xia Tian's neck with kisses and hugged him tightly from behind.

The stunning sight did not go unnoticed by Qing Xueqin, who couldn't help but wonder which affluent family the beautiful young woman belonged to.

Qing Xueqin had a nagging suspicion that Xia Tian was the kind of reckless young master who might have drugged a young lady from another family and now had the audacity to show up at their hotel.

However, she couldn't deny that the seemingly harmless-looking young man standing in front of her was overwhelmingly charming.

His sharp features, tall stature and confident aura were enough to make many girls swoon at his feet. 

Qing Xueqin remembered the hotel's strict policy against suspicious guests but, against her better judgement, decided to make an exception for Xia Tian.

After all, it wasn't like the hotel had never seen any trouble before.

The guests from the two families could kill each other for all she cared.

She just hoped the handsome man standing before her wasn't a troublemaker. 

Xia Tian, on the other hand, was incensed that the lady wasn't allowing him to go inside.

He decided then and there that he would burn down the entire hotel if he was prevented from entering. 

But then, an idea struck him like a bolt of lightning. He immediately remembered that Lin Ruoxi would have something useful in her handbag.

With a sly grin on his face, Xia Tian grabbed her hand and quickly rummaged through her luggage, finding a credit card.

"Take this!" he handed it over to Qing Xueqin, triumphantly. 

A barely noticeable twitch appeared on Qing Xueqin's lips at the shamelessness of this man.

Not only had he possibly drugged the lady, but he was also making her pay for it?

He was definitely a man with no morals, absolutely shameless!

"Sir, we also require an identity," Qing Xueqin spoke, her eyes darting up awkwardly to meet Xia Tian's.

Xia Tian handed over Lin's identity, realizing he didn't have one to give.

However, Lin Ruoxi, who was standing next to him, had clearly had too much to drink.

She swayed unsteadily on her feet and mumbled incoherently as Xia Tian spoke with Qing Xueqin.

Qing Xueqin's eyes widened in disbelief as she scanned the card. "Is this information correct?" she stammered, taken aback by Lin Ruoxi's drunken state.

Earlier, the credit card's VIP status failed to impress Qing Xueqin.

After all, she was accustomed to luxury while working in a five-star hotel.

But now, the identity of the woman completely threw her off balance.

Lin Ruoxi's body swayed as she struggled to maintain her footing, her speech slurred and barely comprehensible.

She slammed her hands down on the desk, sending a stack of papers tumbling to the ground. "What's taking so long?" she demanded loudly, drawing the attention of other people in the crowded lobby.

Fear shot through Qing Xueqin's heart as she scanned the card and handed it back.

Her eyes shook heavily as the two figures stumbled away, Lin Ruoxi leaning heavily on Xia Tian's arm.

"That's the owner of Lin Group!" Qing Xueqin thought with amazement.

She couldn't even begin to comprehend who the man beside her was.

If only he had paid more attention to her, she thought, shaking her head as she watched them go, Lin Ruoxi's unsteady steps drawing more curious eyes.

As Xia Tian and Lin Ruoxi were led to the premium suite by the attendant, his eyes were strictly professional and never once did they linger on Lin Ruoxi's slightly exposed breasts or her abnormal condition.

He guided them effortlessly through the hallways, trained to behave in a professional manner even in much worse scenarios.

As soon as the door closed behind them, Lin Ruoxi pounced on Xia Tian wildly, violating his lips with intense passion and smothering him with her embrace.

Xia Tian was slightly taken aback but couldn't help but laugh inwardly at her wild behavior.

He pushed her against the wall with equal vigor and began taking the lead, allowing himself to revel in the new role.

Despite her abnormal condition, Lin Ruoxi had a charm of her own that was impossible to deny, especially with her ample chest that was on full display.

As the intensity grew, her body wrapped around Xia Tian's like a second skin, sending shivers down her spine.

She was the embodiment of wild passion once provoked, and Xia Tian couldn't deny that she was blessed in some areas, especially her chest.

However, he knew that Lin Ruoxi would undoubtedly regret her actions after waking up.
