Chapter 774: Prey and Hunter

Editor: Henyee Translations

The phrase “gratitude for saving a life” was worth more than gold. Regardless of Liu Yue’s intentions, Mei Shu was grateful to him for saving Tang Mei. She would help Tang Mei repay this favor, but how to repay it would be for Tang Mei to decide. Mei Shu had no intention of doing anything she didn’t want to for Liu Yue because of this favor.

Mei Shu said to Tang Mei, “You don’t need to worry about this matter. I’ll handle it. If Liu Yue comes looking for you, just tell him to come find me.”

“Okay,” Tang Mei agreed, then added after a moment’s thought, “But I don’t think Director Liu is a bad person.”

Mei Shu couldn’t help but chuckle at her. “Are you still judging people as good or bad? Just because he’s not a bad person doesn’t mean he won’t stray from the right path.”

Tang Mei was at a loss for words.

Lu Si glanced at Mei Shu, his eyes somewhat deep. Without even looking at Jiang He, he directly said, “Jiang He, you take Miss Tang back to rest now.” Jiang He never dared to be the slightest bit negligent in following the boss’s orders. He quickly assisted Tang Mei to her own hospital room.

The injury on the back of Tang Mei’s head seemed serious, but it wasn’t too severe. Tang Long hadn’t dared to kill her, so he promptly helped her stop the bleeding.

However, since the injury involved the head, the doctor said there was a slight concussion, so they advised her to stay in the hospital for observation overnight.

After the two left, the hospital room fell completely silent.

Mei Shu had sensed the intense gaze from the person beside her just now, making her scalp tingle and her whole body uncomfortable.

Mei Shu shifted her slightly stiff body and forced herself to look at Lu Si.

Her gaze collided with his deep eyes, leaving Mei Shu completely immobilized.

The outside world often described Lu Si as domineering and forceful, with ruthless methods. But after being with him for so long, Mei Shu’s impression of him leaned more towards being considerate and gentle. Although he occasionally showed a domineering side in front of her, most of the time, he was gentle.

Such a gaze was not common. It was like a tiger or leopard aiming at its prey, ready to pounce and bite its prey’s neck at any moment.

And at this moment, Mei Shu was fully aware that she was the prey in Lu Si’s eyes.

But she had no idea what she had just done to cause Lu Si to reveal such a dangerous expression.

“You… Mm!”

Mei Shu reluctantly spoke up, but before she could finish her first word, her lips were sealed shut.

It wasn’t the first time they were so intimate, but Mei Shu still stiffened at first.

Lu Si’s movements seemed urgent, even a bit ruthless. Such a state easily frightened people, but Mei Shu only stiffened for a moment at the beginning. Soon, she relaxed her body.

She knew very well that this person wouldn’t harm her.

His scorching lips ground against hers with force, causing Mei Shu’s lips to feel hot and numb, likely swollen.

She couldn’t bear it, instinctively wanting to retreat, but this reaction only seemed to provoke him further.

With one hand gripping her slender waist, he forcefully pulled her into his embrace, pressing their bodies tightly together.

The other hand rested at the nape of her neck, gently caressing the delicate skin…

At that moment, Mei Shu truly felt like prey subdued by a predator, with her life hanging by a thread as her archenemy sank his teeth into her neck, ready to devour her at any moment.

The air in her chest grew thinner and thinner, prompting Mei Shu to unconsciously part her lips.

In nature, Lu Si was undoubtedly the most skilled hunter, swift and keen, able to seize every fleeting opportunity for a hunt.

An unconscious movement from Mei Shu made it even easier for Lu Si to advance.

Their lips and tongues entwined, in a dance of advance and retreat, until Mei Shu finally lost all reason, placing her complete trust in Lu Si, surrendering herself entirely and allowing him to take control…

When the kiss ended, Lu Si loosened his grip slightly, but didn’t completely let go. He still held Mei Shu tightly in his arms.

Mei Shu struggled a bit and spoke with a hoarse voice, “It’s too hot.”

She felt like the temperature in the room was rising continuously, making her throat feel like it was smoking.

A hint of a smile flashed in Lu Si’s eyes as he reached for the water glass on the bedside table and offered it to her lips.

Mei Shu drank half a glass of water from his hand, feeling much better.

She looked up at Lu Si, wanting to ask him what had just happened. But seeing the faint smile in Lu Si’s eyes, she felt it was unnecessary to ask.

There was no need for so many reasons when a hunter was hunting.

She didn’t bother to struggle anymore, relaxing her body and leaning against Lu Si’s chest. She took out her phone, found the name “Song Yan” in her contacts, and dialed the number.

Seeing that name, Lu Si frowned slightly but didn’t say anything.

“President Mei!”

The call was quickly answered, and the voice on the other end sounded somewhat excited..
