Life and Death Insurance – CH 042

Chapter 42

Xiang Tian sat down on the sofa with a wry smile and began rubbing his temples.

He knew bringing Feng Yan along wouldn’t end well; not everyone could tolerate that Miss Feng’s temper, let alone the rather hot-tempered Ling Zhengzhong.

But today, he was completely entangled with Feng Yan. Feng Yan insisted on coming to see who was living with him and even volunteered to go grocery shopping with him, saying she wanted to cook dinner together and then enjoy a candlelight dinner for two. Her words completely excluded the homeowner, Ling Zhengzhong, from her plans.

So, this situation was something he had anticipated, but the fact that both of them used him as a target for their anger and then walked away was something Xiang Tian hadn’t expected. He was now in a terrible predicament, caught between a rock and a hard place.

But this was good too. He could take this opportunity to clear things up with Feng Yan. The girl was nice, but her temper rivaled that of his three older sisters. He wasn’t too bothered by it before, but now it was different. He didn’t want to upset Ling Zhengzhong over an outsider.

Was he jealous?

Xiang Tian thought his intuition was probably right. Otherwise, Ling Zhengzhong would never hold a grudge against a girl. In all the time they’d known each other, he’d never seen Ling Zhengzhong speak so harshly to any girl.

Sigh, who said men were magnanimous? They could be just as jealous as girls, though their jealous expressions were actually quite cute.

Xiang Tian thought Ling Zhengzhong would return soon, but an hour passed, and he still hadn’t shown up. After preparing the meal, Xiang Tian looked at the dark sky outside and began to worry.

He shouldn’t have let him go out alone. He’d thought it would be good for him to relax since he was in a bad mood, but it was so late; what if he ran into some thugs…?

This thought made Xiang Tian restless. He grabbed his coat and rushed out, but as soon as he opened the door, Ling Zhengzhong burst in. Xiang Tian reacted quickly and caught him.

Ling Zhengzhong’s legs were weak, his cheeks flushed, and he was sweating profusely. He collapsed into Xiang Tian’s arms, panting heavily, which made Xiang Tian’s heart sink.

“Zhengzhong, what’s wrong?”

“Go get me an ice pack…” With Xiang Tian’s support, Ling Zhengzhong struggled to the sofa, then collapsed.

Xiang Tian hurriedly ran to the refrigerator and got an ice pack. Ling Zhengzhong immediately pressed it to his forehead. Seeing his distress, Xiang Tian panicked.

“Zhengzhong, what’s wrong with you?”

He looked like…

Ling Zhengzhong curled up uncomfortably, panting and cursing, “That damned woman, she dared to drug me…”

“Who is it?”

“Who else could it be? That infatuated woman!”

That damned Lin Qiaoya, she was like a persistent ghost. He thought she’d give up after listening to Cheng Jing’s words today, but who knew she’d go even further? Not only did she specifically come to the bar next to his apartment to find him, but she also gave him this kind of shameful aphrodisiac. What kind of era was this? Did she think that just one night of passion would lead to marriage?

“Her tricks are terrible!” Even if Ling Zhengzhong went to those bar girls, he wouldn’t choose a woman with such ulterior motives as her!

It all came down to that damned little hamster. If it weren’t for him, would he have gone to the bar to sulk and not want to go home? Otherwise, with his usual shrewdness, how could he have fallen for her so easily?

Luckily, he hadn’t drunk too much, and the bar was close to his apartment, so he managed to get back after realizing something was wrong. Back then, it was willpower that kept him going home. Now that he felt relieved, all his resistance crumbled instantly, and the desires and passions he had been desperately suppressing burst forth like a dam breaking.

Ling Zhengzhong curled up in agony, his body feeling as if it were engulfed in flames. Heat swirled and churned throughout his body, every cell throbbing as if about to explode, converging into intense currents that surged down to his lower abdomen. He was too weak to even curse. The torment of desire caused beads of sweat to stream down his forehead; the ice pack quickly turned into a water-filled one. Ling Zhengzhong buried his head in his hands on the sofa, biting his lip tightly, hoping to maintain some semblance of consciousness.

Seeing Ling Zhengzhong tossing and turning on the sofa, Xiang Tian grew anxious. He repeatedly wiped the sweat from Ling Zhengzhong’s forehead with a damp towel, hoping to make him more comfortable, but it was to no avail. The man, tormented by desire, seemed to have reached his limit. He arched his back, his hands clenched into fists, his breathing growing heavier, and the intermittent moans made Xiang Tian’s heart ache even more.

“Zhengzhong, you can’t just endure this. How about I go find you a woman…” Xiang Tian said hesitantly.

He didn’t want to do that, but he couldn’t bear to see Ling Zhengzhong suffer like this. Calling a woman was the best solution. It was just a regular aphrodisiac; a few times should be enough. Ling Zhengzhong was somewhat confused. He finally managed to understand Xiang Tian’s words and angrily retorted, “What are you talking about, you bastard? Do you think I’m indiscriminate? It’s all because of you…”

“Zhengzhong, I’m sorry…”

Being scolded by Ling Zhengzhong, Xiang Tian quickly pulled him into his arms and began to apologize. It was all his fault. He shouldn’t have blamed Ling Zhengzhong because of Feng Yan, and he shouldn’t have let him go out alone. Knowing that someone was plotting against him, he still threw a tantrum. Luckily, it was just an aphrodisiac; if it had been poison…

He didn’t dare think about the consequences. He simply gently stroked Ling Zhengzhong’s back, hoping to make him more comfortable.

The physical contact temporarily eased Ling Zhengzhong’s surging desire. He reached out and embraced Xiang Tian, ​​pulling him into his arms and beginning to rub his body against Xiang Tian’s. It was an indescribable pleasure that made him groan softly, the suppressed moans turning into gasps of pleasure.

“Xiang Tian, ​​save me…”

If he had to go to another woman, he would rather endure this, since it wouldn’t kill him. But the familiar fragrance of Xiang Tian suddenly excited his nerves, which had been somewhat dazed by the medication. He had wanted this person for so long. Why didn’t he express his feelings instead of tormenting himself like this? He didn’t want anyone else; he only wanted Xiang Tian!
