The Billionaire’s Priceless Darling: 33 Days of the CEO’s Pursuit

“I’ll bandage it right away… right away,” the old doctor said hurriedly, grabbing some gauze to wrap her knee. His professional instincts kicked in as he muttered, “You should’ve taken off the pantyhose as soon as you got injured. Would’ve saved you this pain.”

At that moment, when she saw Chu Shixiu, her soul had practically flown out of her body.

How could she have had the presence of mind to think about removing her pantyhose in time?

Leaning against Li Juefeng’s chest, she could hear the steady, powerful rhythm of his heartbeat thudding against her ear.

Suddenly, it dawned on her-Li Juefeng had kissed her… to distract her. It was all just to remove the pantyhose that had fused with her blood and skin.

“Thank you,” she murmured, her voice barely audible, like the buzz of a mosquito.

“What?” His cold gaze bore into the crown of her head.

“Thank you,” she repeated, this time in a normal tone.

Though his methods were brutal and domineering, if not for him, she’d still be locked up in that detention room. From her perspective, she did owe him some gratitude.

“Hmph.” A disdainful snort escaped his nose.

…

Gu Xiaoai fell silent. What was that supposed to mean? Hmph, my foot!

She hadn’t spent much time with Li Juefeng, and their initial encounters had been nothing short of detestable. Yet here she was… thanking him for the second time.

Once her wounds were bandaged, Li Juefeng issued another command. “Give her a full-body examination.”

“Understood.”

Gu Xiaoai wanted to refuse. After all, it was just a minor scrape from Chu Shixiu’s car, nothing serious… But…

Forget it. Never say no to a Tyrant.

That was the golden rule.

By the time all the examinations were done, it was already late. She dozed off in the car, only to vaguely feel herself being carried into the Li Family villa by Li Juefeng. He tossed her onto a warm, soft bed.

So comfortable…

She let out a contented sigh, rolled over, and was ready to drift back to sleep. But then, a cold metallic sensation brushed against her wrist. She flinched at the chill, only to realize she couldn’t pull her hand back. The metal was digging into her wrist, making it ache.

“What’s this?” Forcing her drowsy eyes open, she saw a silver handcuff clasped around her left wrist.

It wasn’t an ordinary handcuff. A thin, delicate chain connected it to another cuff, adorned with diamonds of various sizes that sparkled with an extravagant brilliance.

And the other end of the chain… was attached to the second cuff, which was firmly held in Li Juefeng’s hand.

He stood at the foot of the bed, tall and straight, his long fingers idly toying with the handcuff. Beneath his sharp, cropped hair, his face bore a faint, mocking smile as he looked down at her.

“Awake?”
