Chapter 3 Responsible For You

• Zhan Senyu held Qi Yushi’s waist the entire time that they walked down the corridor. The moment that they could no longer see anyone outside, Qi Yushi let out the breath of relief that she had been holding in before her legs gave way.
• With a quick reflex, Zhan Senyu caught her in his embrace before she collapsed to the ground.
• Upon getting a close-up of his unbelievably good-looking face, Qi Yushi was then reminded of the fact that everything had happened because of him.
• “Go away! Don’t touch me!”
• These were her last words before she lost consciousness.
• Wow, never in my life had anyone dared tell me to scram.
• Zhan Senyu let out a low chuckle as he carried the person in his arms.
• “It’s not possible for me not to touch you.” the low voice thrilled as thin lips brushed her delicate ear.
• When Qi Yushi came to, she realised that she was yet again in a hotel room - although the interior decor was the same, it was a new room. Probably because the room from last night had been wrecked and messed up with their...nightly activities...
• Upon thinking about the events of last night, she immediately straightened up to check herself. She realised that she had been changed out of her tattered clothing and was wearing a decent white dress.
• “Don’t worry, it was a maid who had changed your clothing.”
• Qi Yushi lifted her head at the familiar voice and realised that she was not alone.
• There was a man who had his back facing her lazily sitting on a sofa nearby. Even with his head resting on his two hands which were overlapped behind in a lax fashion, he radiated an exceptional aura of great authority and prowess.
• The sharp black jade-like pupils shifted slightly before they landed their focus on her.
• Qi Yushi found herself intimidated and unable to hold such an intense eye contact with the man before her - she fumbled as she shifted her eyes, looking instead towards the old man who was standing behind him.
• The fifty-something Mr Yan stood with a straight posture - after all, he had been part of a generation of stewards who had received training from the British aristocracy. Catching her gaze, he acknowledged: “Miss Qi.”
• This acknowledgement shocked Miss Qi - although she had no idea who he was, he appeared to know everything about her.
• Under the quilt, her trembling hands curled into fists as she willed herself to calm down.
• “Who are you? What do you want to do?”
• “Is this how you treat your saviour?” Zhan Senyu responded indifferently.
• Momentarily discarded her feelings of fear, Qi Yushi angrily replied: “Seriously? You violated me last night, let me stand there and get shot by all those paparazzis and now you kidnapped me! In what way can I call you my saviour? Can I sue you instead?”
• Zhan Senyu raised his eyebrows. “I saved your career, shouldn’t I be considered your saviour in that sense?”
• Qi Yushi was dumbfounded. “What did you just say?”
• “All the pictures that had been taken today would not be released, nor would there be any articles regarding the incident today published. Not under my watch. Taking all these into account, do I now count as your saviour?”
• Qi Yushi’s eyes were wide, staring at him incredulously.
• Despite her disbelief, this man seemed to really have such an ability. Judging from his demeanor alone, this was definitely not an ordinary man.
• “Really?”
• Disdain hung in Zhan Senyu’s eyes - he made it clear that he did not want to answer such an obvious question.
• Just then, Qi Yushi remembered - this was the man who had taken away her virginity! Again, she argued: “So what, it’s something that you should do by right! You violated me last night, you’re merely atoning for a crime with this, it doesn’t count as rescuing me!”
• Mr Yan silently glanced at his Young Master - seeing his eyes glazed with its usual unbothered, indifferent look, he knew that the latter did not wish to answer these questions, and that it was time for him to answer in his place.
• “Miss Qi, according to our investigations, you were supposed to be sent to Producer Li’s hotel room last night, but that person messed up and sent you to Young Master Zhan’s hotel room instead.”
• Hearing this, Qi Yushi was stunned, as though she had been pricked with an acupuncture needle. After a while, she recovered from her shock. “Producer Li?” she asked dumbly.
• She was all too familiar with this person - he had pestered and harassed her incessantly since three months a lot. Things would have been much worse had she really been sent to Producer Li’s room.
• Qi Yushi’s eyes drifted to Zhan Senyu’s handsome face. I guess it’s not so bad that it was him instead of that pot-bellied Producer Li…?
• “That’s right...and for our Young Master, he was drugged by someone last night, so, um, it was only natural for him to act on impulses and do something unthinkable. Young Master Zhan is incredibly apologetic for his mistake. He has decided to take responsibility for his actions by registering you as his wife at the marriage registration center. In fact, you may proceed to do so now.”
• “What? Marriage registration? Are you joking?” Qi Yushi glanced between the two, waiting for one of them to say that it was a joke - but neither of them budged.
• “Miss Qi, we are serious.” Mr Yan replied respectfully.
• “Are you crazy?! I don’t know this man! How can I get married to him!”
• Qi Yushi could not take it anymore - she was already hurt enough over the fact that something had happened between them, and now he wanted to take responsibility! Is he out of his mind? How could they get married all because of one accidental night?
• “My name is Zhan Senyu, the Director of the L.N. Group.” a cold voice suddenly sounded.
• Qi Yushi blinked slowly. Is he introducing himself?
• Does he think that him introducing himself means that she knows him well enough for them to get married?
• “Just like that? We’re all adults here, it was just one accidental night, can’t we all just forget about it?”
• Qi Yushi said this as though she had not been threatening to sue him just a few moments ago.
• The indifferent expression remained on the man’s face.
• I can never talk through him!
• Qi Yushi angrily jumped off the bed. Seeing her bag from the corner of her eye, she grabbed it and prepared to leave - however, suddenly feeling completely drained off her energy, she crumbled.
• Upon this, the initially unbothered-looking Zhan Senyu sprung into action, stretching out his arms to catch her in his embrace before she collapsed onto the ground.
• “Let go of me!” Qi Yushi trembled with anger.
• Zhan Senyu inadvertently lowered his gaze to be met with a pair of doe-like eyes glaring at him. Her face was flushed red with anger - he couldn't help but sink a bit at this sight.
• I think I like this pair of big eyes a little too much.
• “Order breakfast.” Zhan Senyu instructed Mr Yan, his gaze never leaving Qi Yushi’s.
• “Yes, Young Master Zhan.” Steward Qi bowed respectfully before executing his orders.
• Ignoring her struggling, Zhan Senyu scooped Qi Yushi up and cradled her in his arms, laying her on the bed before he returned to sit on the sofa. His gaze was glued on her the entire time.
• “A doctor examined you just now and found that you have low blood sugar. You should eat something first, the food will arrive here soon.”
• “I won’t eat! I just want to leave this place!” Qi Yushi gritted her teeth.
• The corner of Zhan Senyu’s lips curled into a playful smirk. “Since you don’t wish for me to take responsibility, then we might as well strike a deal.”
• “What deal?” Qi Yushi’s eyes lit up, cautiously watching him.
• She looks just like a little rabbit, soft and cute - yet she’s always putting up such a menacing, frightening front.
• “My family is trying to get me to marry a woman whom I have no feelings for - I am very unwilling. If you are willing to fake being in a marriage with me for half a year, I will settle this matter and let you go. I can even give you a hefty sum as compensation.”
• Qi Yushi frowned. “Why me?”
• Zhan Senyu suddenly laughed. When he’s not laughing, he looks cold and unapproachable, yet good-looking - now that he’s laughing, it’s as though his frosty exterior had melted away - what a shock!
• “It’s because you don’t want to marry me - once everything is over, you can go.”
