"What do you want me to say?" The man asked her instead.

"I don't know. I don't want to fall asleep now, and I'm not sure when the effects of the drug will subside so I can move."

Yan Xiuchen cocked his head to one side, hiding his scarred face from her as he pondered what he should say now. Unlike Song Yiran, who was the ladies' man in their brotherhood, or Zhu Beichuan, who was known for his charming looks, he had no idea how to strike or lead a conversation, especially with a woman.

"I… I have no idea." He grumbled.

This was actually the first time he had a decent conversation with a woman and Yan Xiuchen hated that he couldn't even initiate a simple conversation as she requested.

"Hmm... it's unfair, you know." He heard Xiao Rufeng say.

He gave her a side glance, noticing that she was looking at him, making him uncomfortable in his seat.

"What's unfair?" Yan Xiuchen curiously asked.

"You know my name and I don't even know yours." She answered.

Yan Xiuchen considered her words. She wasn't lying to him about being drugged and falling into her sister's trap, but he wasn't sure if he should allow her to know more about him. He might be undesirable, but he was not a liar.

"I'm Yan Xiuchen. I'm the owner of this place. Mr. Wan, who kidnapped you and took you here, wanted to gain my favor for a business deal, but I disliked him from the moment I met him and it only made me decide not to get more involved with him because of you."

He wasn't sure why he said those words, but that was truly what he was thinking at that moment.

"Ah, so you're a big shot, huh? I should have known. They spoke of you like you were a really big deal. No wonder that Mr. Wan wanted to get acquainted with you."

He scoffed at that. "I don't associate myself with people like him. If I want to expand my business, surely there's another person who can help me that doesn't involve kidnapping and scheming."

Yan Xiuchen paused as something crossed his mind.

"What about your little sister? Is this the first time she has done something like this towards you? Couldn't you just tell your parents what she has done tonight? Surely they wouldn't let her off the hook considering what she'd done is a crime."

Xiao Rufeng smiled bitterly. She had long accepted that she and her father would never reconcile and that she shouldn't raise her expectations when it comes to him.

"Half-sister." She explained. "My mom died when I was very young and my father remarried. As for informing him what transpired tonight, I'm pretty sure he would take my sister's side rather than believing my claim. You see, Xiao Yunyao was the dotted daughter, a jewel in my father's eyes."

"But you are also his daughter." Yan Xiuchen retorted. It wasn't like he'd never heard of this kind of situation before. Half siblings, especially from wealthy families rarely get along.

"I'm not sure about that." Xiao Rufeng shut her eyes in an attempt to stop herself from crying again. "We used to be very close when my mother was still alive, but when he got remarried and had Xiao Yunyao, it seemed that he had already forgotten his eldest daughter."

Yan Xiuchen had no words to say on that. What was he supposed to say anyway? He was thankful that he didn't have any siblings or that his father didn't remarry after his mother died. Still, Yan Xiuchen knew that his father hated him and would rather see him die than to lose his beloved wife.

Perhaps life was really unfair for the two of them. There wasn't anything they could do to change it and they could only suffer in silence.

Was there any vindication at all? Yan Xiuchen doubted. They could only go with the flow and try to make the best out of their situation.

"My manager must be worried about me." Xiao Rufeng commented, pulling Yan Xiuchen out of his daze.

"Hmm? Aren't you under Bluemedia Entertainment?"

"Yes! Actually, our president is also my manager. She'd warned me earlier about Miss Ye, but I didn't expect that my sister would be involved with her."

Xiao Rufeng wasn't sure if Su Xiaofei had already noticed her disappearance and if they were looking for her.

"Then I think I can help you with that. You're lucky I'm friends with someone close to her."

Xiao Rufeng's eyes widened in surprise. She truly hadn't expected that she would be lucky tonight.

"Thank you and I'm sorry. I would have called her myself, but I don't know where my bag and phone are."

Yan Xiuchen said nothing in return but dialed Lu Qingfeng's number instead. He waited until his call was picked up after the third ring.

"Is something the matter?" He heard Lu Qingfeng's voice on the other line.

"Can I talk to your wife? Xiao Rufeng is here with me and she requested to have a word with her."

Xiao Rufeng opened her mouth, but no words came out. She had never thought that the person he was acquainted with was her manager's husband.

"Did you just say Xiao Rufeng?" Lu Qingfeng was equally surprised with Yan Xiuchen's words.
