"And it seems to have something to do with that Miss Qin, Mrs. Yi’s friend. Mr. Bai asked where Mrs. Yi's private room is."Manager Wang's heart sank when he heard that. The next moment, he saw a tall figure walking toward him.'It's... indeed Bai Tingxin!'Gosh, what the hell is going on? Why am I so 'lucky' today?' Manager Wang wailed in his heart.Bai Tingxin walked to the door of the private room and glanced at Manager Wang standing outside. "Are they still in there?""Yes... Yes, they're in there," Manager Wang said quickly.Bai Tingxin opened the door, only to see the swaying Qin Lianyi playing the finger guessing game with a group of men in the room. Ling Yiran was sitting beside Qin Lianyi while Yi Jinli sat on a couch on the other side.Bai Tingxin was a little surprised that Yi Jinli was also here.Judging from the way Qin Lianyi looked, he could tell that she probably had a lot to drink. The empty wine bottles in the private room confirmed his speculation.The men p
"Hey, wait. Jin, Lianyi is still inside..." said Ling Yiran."Bai Tingxin will send Qin Lianyi home. You don't have to worry," said Yi Jinli."But...""Or do you want to stay and touch Bai Tingxin's face to see how it feels?" He glanced at her. "No!" Ling Yiran said quickly."Since your answer is no, then let’s go home,” said Yi Jinli.In the private room, Bai Tingxin pulled Qin Lianyi's hands away before bending over and carrying Qin Lianyi in his arms without saying a word. Then, he left the private room."Hey, I... I'm not leaving. I want to continue drinking and playing the finger guessing game with them. I want to... Um... I want to watch them dance..." shouted Qin Lianyi as she struggled to get down from Bai Tingxin's arms."Okay, I'll drink with you, play the finger guessing game with you, and dance for you!" Bai Tingxin said coldly."You..." In a daze, Qin Lianyi tilted her head, seemingly thinking about what he was saying. She stopped struggling and quietly allowed h
He was so caught off guard that she managed to pull him into the back seat and had him press himself on top of her. The smell of alcohol mixed with her own scent rushed into his nose, making him fall into a trance."Bai Tingxin... Why... Why did you show up again?" muttered Qin Lianyi.He stiffened. 'Does she know that this intimacy and the way she’s holding him brings me devastating pain?’However... He did not want to push her away. He only wanted her to hold him longer. He could bear the pain as long as she would continue to hold him like this."Because I miss you so much," muttered Bai Tingxin. He answered her anyway, even though he knew she would probably forget whatever he said when she woke up."Miss... Miss me?""Yes, I miss you so much...""But... do you know how much I want to get over... you?" There seemed to be a lump in her throat and she finally broke into a small sob.His eyes darkened a little. "I know." He knew this all too well. "I'll leave after bringing yo
Bai Tingxin looked at Qin Lianyi with mixed feelings. He had never thought of doing such a thing with her here.However... when she kissed him like that, all his self-control disintegrated and he could even ignore the pain in his body.He loved her so much that nothing could ever change it!He probably could not send her home now. Bai Tingxin took a deep breath, tidied his clothes, sat in the driver's seat, and started the car.The black car slowly drove away from the neighborhood as if it had never been here before.Half an hour later, Bai Tingxin arrived at his mansion in Shen City. He carefully carried her into the mansion and to the bed in his bedroom.She slept so soundly with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, looking as though she was having a nice dream.‘Could she be dreaming about me?'"Lianyi, you still love me... don't you?" muttered Bai Tingxin.As long as she still loved him, then he would solve whatever problems lay ahead of them. He would find a solution
"Since you're already up, go wash up. I've put a fresh set of clothes in the bathroom. Come out for breakfast when you're ready," he said.His clear voice pulled her back to her senses."But... last night, why... Why was I..." stammered Qin Lianyi.Bai Tingxin looked at Qin Lianyi with a sarcastic smirk. "You always forget what happens after getting drunk, so did you forget what you did last night as well?"Qin Lianyi bit her lower lip as her round eyes stared at him. She looked somewhat pitiful."Would you believe me if I told you that I was going to take you home last night but you put yourself on top of me, kissed me, and made a bunch of promises to me just like you used to back then?" he asked."No way!" she blurted out.His eyes gazed at her as he walked to the bedside and bent over. Their faces suddenly became very close to each other. "Why? Do you think you wouldn’t have put yourself on top of me and made those promises to me?” She was silent."Qin Lianyi, you're a lia
"What exactly happened yesterday?" asked Qin Lianyi."Jin and I were supposed to send you home yesterday, but you insisted on calling Bai Yulai. But you ended up calling Bai Tingxin instead. So, uh… After he came, he said he would send you home.” Ling Yiran told Qin Lianyi about what had happened in the private room yesterday.Qin Lianyi got even more speechless as she listened... 'How... embarrassing!'I.. was the one who called Bai Tingxin! I... also hugged Bai Tingxin in front of others and... seemed to have flirted with him?'Sure enough, I get into trouble every time I drink! Every time I run into Bai Tingxin after drinking, I'd force myself upon him.'Of course, since I was the one who forced myself upon him, that means he’s the victim!'"Lianyi, are you okay? Did Bai Tingxin send you home safely yesterday?" asked Ling Yiran.Qin Lianyi could only mumble, "I'm fine. I'll talk to you later." With that said, she hurriedly ended the call.Then, Qin Lianyi called home. It was
He stared at her condescendingly. "Qin Lianyi, I can't pretend nothing happened! You forced yourself on me last night. Are you trying to get away without taking any responsibility again?"Her face instantly went red.She knew that the word ‘again’ referred to how she had a drunken passionate night with him and left the next day.However, she later got together with him when he found her three years later. Now... she was not the same person she was, and he... was not the same person he was too!...Qin Lianyi did not know how she walked out of Bai Tingxin's mansion. She stumbled into a taxi and went back to the design office.She worked as usual.However, different thoughts clouded her mind.A colleague exclaimed, "Huh? Lianyi, this outfit you're wearing is from X’s latest collection. Gosh, I've seen the clothes in a magazine, and they’re worth over 300,000 bucks!"The colleague's exclamation immediately caught the attention of many colleagues, especially some female colleagues
"Hello again, Miss Gao," Bai Tingxin said indifferently.Gao Manlin took a deep breath. "You figured I'd come to you, didn't you?""There's no one else you can turn to, is there?" asked Bai Tingxin.Gao Manlin gritted her teeth in hatred. "I'm here to make a deal. I want to sell the rest of the Gao family's assets to you at a reasonable price."Bai Tingxin sneered. "What's the matter? I’ve already allocated a sum of money to the Gao family as agreed. Miss Gao, are you trying to leave me to clean up the Gao family's mess after failing to make a comeback?""Just tell me if you'll buy them. It's a good opportunity for you to expand the Bai family's business. It’ll do you no harm if you buy over the Gao family's assets.""I can choose to buy or not buy them. Even if I don't, I still have ways to expand the Bai family's business. The Gao family will probably end up in bankruptcy then," said Bai Tingxin.No matter how much Gao Manlin hated it, she knew what Bai Tingxin said was true.
