Silence fell between the two of them. Hu Lei could not believe the matter that had transpired in a short moment. Her body felt petrified the more she looked up at the face of the big boss. It did not seem like she would enjoy the night as intended.

"You should not have done that." She finally said.

Zhong Feng looked at the terrified little face and felt puzzled. Was she that attached to the small glass of champagne? The liquid had not tasted good, and the carbonation was already causing irritation to his throat. When he had seen her with the alcohol in the hall, he had remembered the previous Friday, and her drunken behaviour.

If she behaved in the same way, wouldn't she be propositioning other people right and left during the party? The thought made his chest feel a little tight. Originally, he had imagined she would come out sans champagne, and he would admonish her before sending her off to the dinner… if his sister ever finished her drawn out and unnecessary speech.

However, she had come out while holding the glass in her small hands. He had reacted without thinking. He had felt that he had to do it because her red face and babbling from the previous week kept floating around in is head. When he had imagined her being like that with another person, it had not been difficult to down the unpleasant drink.

"You should not be drinking." He spoke while staring her down.

"I was not drinking. But that is not what is important right now." Her exasperation rose with his words.

How was she going to tell him? Her good name would be ruined forever! She would lose the big boss' trust, and she would be the vixen that tried to entrap the most eligible bachelor in Supreme. Her mother duck would abandon her. Invisible tears fell in a stream.

"Say what you want to say." Zhong Feng frowned and spoke, tired of seeing her endless strange expressions.

"Well, the champagne was drugged." It was better to directly speak instead of delaying the inevitable.

Contrary to her expectations, the big boss did not show anger. However, this caused her to feel even more fear. If he was furious, she could at least say something to pacify him. Instead, he remained calm and looked at her for a long moment as if he was not surprised.

"Who were you trying to drug?" he finally asked.

Hu Lei felt wronged at the question. What kind of person did he think she was? Well… she had drugged one or two people in her day, but he did not know that. She had only showed her good side to him. Shouldn't the mother duck be worried for her? At the very least, he should not immediately assume that she was up to no good!

"Obviously, someone was trying to drug me, but I discovered the nefarious plot. I planned to dispose of the glass, but who knew someone else would be thirsty." She responded in a harsh but hushed tone.

"So I am to blame for your possession of a drugged drink?" Zhong Feng looked at her angry face calmly.

Hu Lei felt that he was definitely to be blamed for taking a drink from someone's hands and downing it at an unusual speed. But of course, she would not say that!

"How could I blame the mighty president? You have saved me from an insidious plot crafted by my enemies." She conceded to the true ruler.

There were obviously a lot of things that were just wrong in that sentence, but Zhong Feng knew that pursuing that line of question would bring more confusion. He decided to address the most critical matter at hand.

"Who tried to drug you?" His words came with a cold pressure, but Hu Lei did not notice.

"That is not important right now. We need to solve the drug immediately before it affects your body." She spoke seriously. They had already wasted enough time on a pointless conversation.

"Ooh… You are going to help me solve it?" His voice seemed deeper.

As a modern emperor, he had already determined the nature of the drug in the champagne. He could not help feeling interested at the solemn promise to help him solve it. The oblivious Hu Lei did not get the innuendo in the words.

"Of course, I will. In spite of the circumstances, it is my fault. I could have knocked the glass out of your hands instead of sputtering like an idiot." She sighed in lamentation to herself.

An evil but almost imperceptible smile graced his face, but the Hu Lei with a drooping head did not notice.

"Then, I look forward to it. Follow me."

He led her through deserted hotel corridors, and they stopped before a hidden elevator in a deserted hallway. After stepping into the lift, Hu Lei's brain finally caught up. She realised that her earlier words could have been misunderstood. Her large moist eyes looked up at him and he looked back at her with a strange heated look in his own. She felt her heart beat accelerate, and she took some steps backwards.

"You, I did not mean it like that." She said awkwardly.

"Like what, Hu Lei?" the deep voice of the president seemed to have a seductive undertone.

More importantly, it seemed that it was the first time that he had called her directly by her name. Her small face became instantly red. She could be thick-skinned in most matters, but a single tease from the president gave her thousands of points worth of damage. She wondered if the drug was already affecting his mind. The normal big boss was not this dangerous.

"You know like in that way." Her voice became as small as a mosquito's.

"You should be more open now that we are going to be more intimate, Xiao Lei." The evil emperor's eyes seemed lazy and his lips wore a very sexy smile.

He took slow steps and came closer to her as she backed away from him. Her wide eyes stared at the man who had the president's face but seemed completely different. Her back finally touched the surface of the elevator, allowing tall man to place her body in a cage with his hands on the wall. Her face became like a ripe tomato and her eyes turned into mosquito coils. Is this the famous kabedon? And by the great Zhong Feng?

Her mind became blank as the evildoer's face leaned down towards her own. The voices in her head began shouting at the same time, rendering her immobile. Was this the moment she would lose her first kiss? Was this how everything would end? She was not prepared! Somebody save her from the berserk evil emperor!

While her mind was spinning n that crazy place, she finally gained her reason back. Wait a minute! An aphrodisiac would not cause this type of behaviour change. More importantly, judging by the body size of the president, the drug would not have been assimilated within a short period.

She finally looked fully and directly into his eyes and saw the laughter hidden behind the seductive haze. He had been playing with her. Her anger reached new heights at this discovery, and she used her hands to push him away from him. In her rage, she did not notice that she had broken through a certain barrier in her mind.

However, Zhong Feng's eyes flashed with a strange satisfied light as he felt her soft hands on his chest. He backed away from her, feeling that he had accomplished enough for the evening. Even through the layers of clothing, he could feel some warmth.

"So, how do you plan to help me solve the problem after drugging me?" His calm voice asked as if everything that had taken place had been Hu Lei's imagination.

She took deep breaths, urging herself to calm down and not to give in to her desire to kill this evil creature.
