Was he really impotent?

"Mom, I... I don't know what happened," Chen Ling explained as she dressed.

"It... it was him! He seduced me." Chen Ling pinned the whole thing on the young hunk.

The old lady's face darkened. "Hurry up and come out. This is mortifying."

The others had heard the commotion and wanted to take a look, but the old lady stopped them.

They could handle something this embarrassing among themselves.

Fortunately, she had heard her future granddaughter-in-law's thoughts in time to keep anyone else from seeing it.

Chen Ling hurriedly pulled on her clothes and came out.

Meanwhile, Gu Luosheng felt dizzy.

Oh no...

It was kicking in!

Apparently, the drug had taken effect.

Gu Luosheng staggered.

"What's wrong?" Ye Nanshen reacted quickly and caught her.

"I... I've been drugged," Gu Luosheng whispered, biting her lip.

She had experienced this in her previous life, so she recognized the feeling.

The moment Ye Nanshen felt her temperature, he knew something was wrong too.

"Can you walk?" Ye Nanshen asked.

Gu Luosheng tried, then looked up at him helplessly.

"I don't think I can..."

Without another word, Ye Nanshen swept her into his arms.

When the old lady saw this, her grim expression brightened a little.

She knew her grandson was allergic to women, but now... he seemed fine.

Her grandson and future granddaughter-in-law really were a perfect match!

They looked so lovely together.

Feeling her temperature climb higher and higher, Ye Nanshen kicked the bedroom door open.

Gu Luosheng panted heavily, clutching his arm.

"Is there... an antidote?" Gu Luosheng asked.

Ye Nanshen pressed his lips together. "No."

Why would he have an antidote for something like this?

Besides... it was only sold on the black market. Even if he sent someone to get it now, it would be too late.

Gu Luosheng's mind gradually clouded over, leaving only her most primal desire.

She waved her hands and began tugging at his clothes.

"Gu Luosheng!" Ye Nanshen held back his anger.

"It feels awful..." A hint of hurt crept into Gu Luosheng's voice.

Ye Nanshen lowered his gaze to her flushed face, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly.

He tugged at his tie and tossed her onto the bed.

"Don't go." Gu Luosheng clung to his sleeve as if it were her last lifeline.

An unreadable darkness filled Ye Nanshen's eyes.

"Let go."

"No!" Gu Luosheng's head was so muddled that she had no idea what she was saying.

Ye Nanshen slowly exhaled and forcibly shook off her hand.

Then he went into the bathroom.

To run the water.

Three minutes later.

When Ye Nanshen came out, he saw Gu Luosheng tearing at her own clothes.

Her figure was already... faintly visible.

Ye Nanshen rubbed his brow.

Suppressing the agitation inside him, he stepped forward and hoisted her over his shoulder.

"Hey, handsome~ Hold me and kiss me, please." Gu Luosheng felt so awful she could barely stand it, as if countless ants were crawling over her skin. Her nimble little hand slipped beneath his clothes.

Ye Nanshen froze and nearly threw Gu Luosheng off.

This woman... had some nerve.

He took a deep breath and called her name through gritted teeth. "Gu Luosheng."

"Huh?" Still dazed, Gu Luosheng looked at Ye Nanshen in confusion.

She was beautiful to begin with, with captivating eyes, and now she was gazing at him so pleadingly.

Ye Nanshen's handsome face grew darker and darker.

This was the first time a woman had ever had him completely at her mercy.

The next second, Ye Nanshen dumped her straight into the cold water.

He knew Gu Luosheng was only acting this way because she had been drugged.

So he wouldn't touch her.

It was a matter of principle.

He, Ye Nanshen, wasn't so shameless that he would take advantage of her vulnerability.

The biting cold brought Gu Luosheng back to her senses a little.

Her teeth were chattering.

"Could... you pay me extra for this?" Gu Luosheng tilted her head up to look at him.

Ye Nanshen was speechless.

He watched as the water soaked her clothes, making them cling to her body.

Now... he could see her figure perfectly.

"Can you manage on your own?" Ye Nanshen's voice was low.

Gu Luosheng hugged herself, looking pitiful.

She wobbled as she tried to stand up in the tub, but her foot slipped... and she toppled sideways.

"Careful!" Ye Nanshen instinctively reached out to catch her, but... they both went down together.

Ye Nanshen's expression turned utterly grim.

"I... I didn't mean to." Gu Luosheng hastily spoke before he could say anything.

"You're... wet." She meant that literally.

But saying those words made Gu Luosheng's face flush even redder.

Ye Nanshen lowered his eyes. "It's been three minutes. Are you all right now?"

Gu Luosheng nodded blankly.

Yet the desire she had finally managed to suppress began stirring again at the sight of his physique.

Gu Luosheng had never felt so tormented.

She slowly drew a breath. "Go out first. I'll handle it myself."

"Can you?" Ye Nanshen didn't believe her.

She had nearly fallen over just now.

"I'm worried you'll break the bathtub," Ye Nanshen said flatly.

Gu Luosheng was speechless.

"You're still worried about the bathtub at a time like this?" Gu Luosheng felt hurt.

"Yes. It's expensive. Even selling you wouldn't cover it." He rose from the water.

The atmosphere had been so charged just now that he had nearly lost control.

Gu Luosheng stared fixedly at his long legs, practically drooling.

Damn it, he was just a villain. Why did he have to be so ridiculously gorgeous?

"I'll get you some clothes. Get out as soon as you can." With that, Ye Nanshen left without looking back.

Gu Luosheng shivered in the water.

Now she really felt cold.

But... Gu Luosheng tilted her head.

Was Ye Nanshen actually impotent? I'd practically thrown myself at him, and he hadn't reacted at all!

Whoa, no wonder everyone said he was emotionally unstable and unpredictable. If he had a condition like that, it would explain everything.

Thinking about it that way, he was pretty pitiful. I'd better treat him a little nicer from now on. At the very least, I shouldn't look at him differently.

Still, there was no need to worry. There was medicine for this kind of condition. He probably just found it too embarrassing and had never sought treatment.

Gu Luosheng let her imagination run wild, unaware that Ye Nanshen heard every word.

As he fetched her clothes, Ye Nanshen's handsome face darkened to its limit.

This was the first time anyone had made up such outrageous rumors about him.

He pressed his tongue against his lower jaw and lowered his eyes slightly.

Apparently, he'd been far too kind.

Gu Luosheng felt as if she were about to freeze to death before he finally returned with an icy expression and tossed her a white shirt.

"One minute. Get dressed and get out," he said coldly.

Gu Luosheng grumbled inwardly, Why did he always have to give people deadlines measured in minutes?

So... annoying!

Gu Luosheng didn't dare say anything else. She quickly dressed, only to realize that the shirt... seemed to belong to Ye Nanshen.
