Chapter 269: Chapter 268: Under the Influence of Alcohol
"Hey, miss, miss..."
The owner of the wedding dress shop was startled and gently patted her tear-streaked face like a pear blossom: "Wake up."
She touched her forehead; it seemed a bit warm but not too serious. She patted her face with a bit more force, Wen Nuan’s eyelids fluttered but didn’t open.
She didn’t want to wake up. The feeling of keeping her eyes closed was wonderful. In a daze, she couldn’t see those two faces that disgusted her.
The kind-hearted owner didn’t dare to think about it too much. She hurriedly supported her with one hand, closed the shop door with the other, and helped her into her car.
"The alley is too narrow, the car can’t go in, you’ll have to get out here." At the mouth of the alley, the taxi driver glanced at the road and shook his head.
Leng Yan immediately understood, threw down the money, pushed open the car door, and ran towards the other end of the alley.
He knew that with Wen Nuan’s personality, she wouldn’t go back, so she was very likely to be in there.
He was almost sprinting all the way, swearing he unleashed his fastest speed from his school days on the track team. The long alley only took a few minutes to traverse. Then, standing at the crossroads, his eyes searched everywhere for Wen Nuan’s shadow, only to be met with disappointment.
It was still quite early, and most shops on this street were still closed. Leng Yan saw a car parked in front of a wedding dress shop and approached to inquire.
Revived by the wedding dress shop owner pinching her philtrum, Wen Nuan slowly opened her eyes, looking uncertainly at the other person, confused and weak: "Excuse me, who are you?"
"Finally awake, but I’m still worried, let’s get you to the hospital." The lady owner smiled reassuringly and started the car.
"I’m fine, no need for the hospital." Wen Nuan instinctively resisted.
Unless you say she’s sick, what she has is heartbreak, which no doctor can cure.
"How can you be fine if you faint like that?" the lady owner said with concern: "There’s a good hospital nearby, let’s have a full check-up, even young people need to take care of their health."
"But, I didn’t bring any money." Wen Nuan admitted frankly, hoping this person would let her go: "My bag is at home."
"You can ask a friend to bring it." The lady owner showed no intention of letting her go: "Don’t underestimate fainting, and you seem a bit warm."
Forget it, she would call Tong Xi later on. Wen Nuan thought, blinking in confusion: "Were you the one talking to me earlier?"
Before fainting, she seemed to have heard someone speaking to her. Because of the dizziness, she didn’t hear clearly.
The lady owner nodded: "Yes, I’m the owner of the wedding dress shop you were just looking at. I thought you wanted to see the wedding dresses, so I helped you find some, but unexpectedly, you fainted. By the way, your clothes are soaking wet, you’ve been standing outside for quite a while, haven’t you?"
"Yes, it’s been a while." She bitterly bit her lip, touching her rain-soaked clothes, forcing a dry smile.
After leaving the alley, it seems she’s been standing here ever since, until she fainted just now. She was immersed in the illusion of standing with him in a wedding dress, unable to extricate herself.
She quietly asked: "Can I use your phone to make a call? My phone is in my bag too."
"Of course." The lady owner motioned for her to help herself.
Wen Nuan thanked her and picked it up, her head throbbing painfully, she closed her eyes trying to recall Tong Xi’s number.

"Why isn’t she back yet?"
Tong Xi couldn’t stay in bed any longer, after washing up she couldn’t help but go downstairs to look for Wen Nuan.
Wen Nuan wasn’t in a good state, she was afraid something might happen. Running down the stairs, she took a deep breath at the door, planning to head to the breakfast shop at the community gate, when her eyes were drawn to a car.
She rubbed her eyes, opened them wide, and clearly examined the license plate, her lips slowly curving into a smile.
Oh my, that girl, no wonder she’s not back yet, she’s downstairs having a rendezvous with her husband. She smiled softly at the Range Rover there: Leng Yan, you’ve still got a heart, coming here to find Nuannuan. Hmph, if you really let Nuannuan down and get involved with that Ji Wei, watch out, I’ll beat the hell out of you!
She took a few steps towards the car, scratched her head, and then stopped.
Forget it, a night apart feels like three years, she’d better not disturb them. Her heart, however, felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey, as she turned to head back, the car door suddenly opened, she instinctively stopped, her eyes widening, she looked carefully, confirming who it was before a rush of anger surged in her mind.
Ji Wei!
With makeup a bit heavy, and wearing sunglasses, but she was recognized instantly.
That damn seductress, what is she doing here? Wearing a slanting strap dress that barely conceals anything, because it’s nude colored, almost blending with her skin. What shocked and overwhelmed Tong Xi the most was, her body was covered with little "hickeys."
Because the dress was too reve..aling with very little coverage, most of her skin was exposed, the densely packed hickeys stung her eyes.
"Are you there yet? Okay, I’ll head over. Did you bring the clothes too? Yeah, okay. Oh, I’m exhausted, hardly slept all night..." Ji Wei was talking on the phone while rubbing her neck, as if having done something all night and her whole body ached.
Hickeys, Leng Yan’s car, up all night...
Tong Xi’s mind involuntarily sketched out a vivid **** scene, with the male and female leads undoubtedly being Leng Yan and Ji Wei.
Ji Wei, you bitch, Leng Yan, you’re really a damn bastard!
Furiously, she descended the steps, marched up to Ji Wei, and forcefully bumped her shoulder, instantly knocking Ji Wei into the green belt at the entrance. Grinding her teeth, she coldly cursed: "Bitch!" Then she fiercely pulled open the car door, finding it empty, her mind fogged up.
Where’s Leng Yan?
Seeing the scattered wine glasses and bottles inside the car, a bad feeling intensified.
A drunken flin...g? Did Wen Nuan see it?
Damn it!
"Tong Xi?"
Ji Wei was on the phone when she was suddenly bumped, unexpectedly falling into the thorny bushes at the entrance, pricking her skin painfully. Picking up her phone from the ground, she looked at the frantic woman in front of her, cursed: "Lunatic!"
"Bitch, what did you say? Who the hell dares to say this lady is crazy?"
Tong Xi intended to find Leng Yan, seeing Ji Wei trying to get up, she stomped over, kicking her hard as she was about to stand: "Shameless one, where’s Leng Yan? What were you doing in his car?"
"Didn’t you see the empty wine bottles inside? After drinking, a man and woman alone together, what else can they do?"
Adjusting her disheveled hair, Ji Wei endured the pain as she stood up, casting a seductive smile, with a gaze looking at her like an idiot, "Tong Xi, you’re so smart, you should have guessed it. Yes, it’s exactly what you think, Leng Yan and I did it under the influence of alcohol."
