Chapter 260: Chapter 259: Slower than Usual
"Nuannuan!"
Leng Yan urgently called her name into the phone, but he couldn’t hear her voice. He dialed again, but the phone was off!
He despairingly tossed the phone aside, his eyes full of pain.
His stomach still hurt, with a worsening trend. One hand clutched it tightly while the other took out a box of biscuits, and he watched with a bitter smile playing on his lips.
These were bought for him by Nuannuan. She said whenever he felt uncomfortable in his stomach, he should eat a few, and it would feel better.
"Will it?" he murmured, as Leng Yan picked up a piece and slowly ate it. Though it used to be sweet, it now tasted bitter.
He ate a few more pieces, still bitter. He would rather endure the stomach pain than eat another.
How he longed for her to appear by his side, even if just to simply ask, "What’s wrong?" It would make his stomach feel warm.
He glanced at the neon lights on the street and found himself parked right in front of a bar. Annoyance surged again in his heart; at this moment, he just wanted a few drinks. Even if his stomach hurt to death, it would be better than this.
Ji Wei watched as the car window slowly rolled up, her heart pounding excitedly. She knew that when Leng Yan was in a bad mood, he’d go to the bar to drink. She had searched all the places he frequented but hadn’t seen a trace of him. Just when she was disappointed, she saw a car ahead that seemed like his. Keeping a careful distance, she followed to the side street and finally got a clear view—sure enough, it was him.
Seeing him walk inside, she was so delighted she almost screamed.
She opened the trunk, took out a bottle of wine, and also a very sexy sling dress designed by Lin Xue, along with the high heels she bought today. Crawling into the back seat, she changed clothes, and then using the car lights, she carefully applied makeup. Thanks to her years of practiced skills, she quickly transformed into a seductive siren.
She looked in the mirror with satisfaction, appearing completely like a tempting night fairy, but she still cleverly disguised her identity. Someone very familiar with her, like Leng Yan, would still recognize her. She smiled slightly at the mirror, twisted open the wine bottle, and guzzled down half of it. The scent of alcohol was discernible even to herself, and only then did she open the car door to get out.
She used to have a low tolerance for alcohol, but because she often had to attend important events, her tolerance gradually increased. So far, outsiders only knew she would pass out after half a bottle, but that was a ruse. How much she could truly drink before getting drunk, she never tested and didn’t know herself.
The half bottle she had just consumed only showcased her allure more vividly and didn’t affect her thinking or judgment at all.
Finding a quiet spot, she sat down. Men came over to hit on her from time to time, only to be politely and subtly rebuffed. While holding a glass of red wine, she seemed to watch the performance on stage, but in fact, her enchanting eyes remained fixated on every move Leng Yan made.
Today, Leng Yan looked deeply wounded. His handsome face and eyes constantly exuded coldness and melancholy. After drinking, he’d purse his lips, which made his features more defined and the usually strong lines even more masculine. Several fashionably dressed women wanted to approach and cozy up to him, but a single cold glance from him made them quickly retreat.
Ji Wei, holding her wine glass, smirked. Those foolish women, do they think they can compete with her for him? Ha, why don’t they look in the mirror before stepping out?
However, she really liked the current Leng Yan. That unwavering expression and the unintended sensuality when he drank made her recall how he looked when he kissed her. She was desperate to have him again, the desire in her body like alcohol spilled over, ready to ignite.
