She instinctively twisted her wrist, but his grip was too strong, she couldn’t break free. Even from a distance, she could feel the heat radiating from him, his palm like burning fire...
The heat seed to scorch into her very bones and blood.
"You..."
"Xiaowu is getting married, why are you crying? Why do you cry so much?"
His voice, already deep, beca even richer when infused with emotion. In the narrow corridor, she was trapped, and his voice seed trapped with her, striking her with an inexplicable panic.
His eyes, reddened by alcohol, gave her a sudden sense of panic when he looked at her...
Lin Luyou’s breath hitched, instinctively wanting to break free. Jiang Shiyi, having drunk, was not gentle. Seeing her try to leave, he tightened his grip, hurting her... She couldn’t help but let out a muffled groan.
"Did I hurt you?" He seed to be not as close, but his breath was...
So hot it made her heart tremble.
Seeing her silent, Jiang Shiyi squinted, "Does it hurt? Hmm?"
His voice was like a hook in the hot sumr wind, tugging at her heart violently.
"Why are you still the sa as before, whimpering at just a touch..."
Noticing he had hurt her, Jiang Shiyi relaxed his grip slightly, and at that mont, Lin Luyou suddenly broke free, fleeing in panic...
When Jiang Chengsi ca over, he saw his brother leaning against the wall, hand pressed to his forehead, lost in thought.
"Brother?" He had noticed Jiang Shiyi had been gone too long in the restroom, worried sothing happened after he drank too much.
"What’s wrong?"
"I ca to check on you. You’ve had quite a bit to drink tonight." Jiang Chengsi wasn’t too bad off, having Huo Ran to block drinks for him, so he only drank a little. "Are you okay?"
"I..." Jiang Shiyi clenched his empty hand. He was a bit drunk, barely rembering what had just happened, if it was real or a dream. Only the lingering sensation in his hand grew clearer, "Not very well."
"Not well? You usually don’t drink. Did you drink too quickly? What’s wrong? Your stomach?"
"Everything is wrong."
"..."
The otherwise tornting Demon King suddenly showed this expression. Normally, his personality would dictate giving him a couple of kicks, but since he’s his own brother, he thought better of it.
"Xiaowu’s booked several rooms here, let help you up to rest."
"No, let’s go back first."
"You want to keep drinking? You shouldn’t drink anymore."
"I left sothing there."
"What is it? I’ll help you find it after taking you back to the room."
"I’ll go myself." Jiang Shiyi swayed slightly.
When he reached the banquet hall, most guests had left. Only Jiang Jinsang was surrounded by Tang Wan’s group of senior brothers, with Huo Qinqi and Jiang Yanting helping to disentangle. Almost all others had gone.
"What are you looking for?" The banquet hall after the party was quite chaotic.
"It’s gone."
"What?"
"Nothing."
"..."
Jiang Chengsi was speechless. After the effort of bringing him back, he claid to look for sothing, but now said it’s gone? Is he just ssing with him drunk? Is it fun?
...
Tang Wan was also staying at the hotel tonight. After removing her makeup and soaking in a bath, she changed into loungewear. To her surprise, Jiang Jinsang hadn’t returned, but there was a missed call from her grandmother.
"Grandma? Why haven’t you rested yet?" Tonight had been so busy, almost everyone stayed at the hotel. Within the hotel, there was also a KTV, and Jiang Jinsang had deliberately booked several suites for relatives and friends to play cards and unwind.
"Afraid you’d get hungry, I brought you sothing to eat. I knocked, but no one answered. I called, but you didn’t pick up."
"I was just in the shower."
"Want to bring it to you?"
"I’ll co to your room."
When Tang Wan arrived at her grandmother’s room, Shen Shuci was also there. It had been a while since they last t. The elderly lady chatted a lot, mostly about work and emotional matters.
The grandmother, having lost her daughter in middle age, treasured Tang Wan, her daughter’s only bloodline, even more on her wedding day. Holding Tang Wan and Shen Shuci captive with endless conversations.
"I’m a bit tired now, Shuci, you stay here tonight and keep your mother company. I’ll sleep in your room." Elder Shen, feeling the conversation turning too sad, decided to leave.
"Here’s the room key." Shen Shuci handed him the card. Her mother wasn’t feeling well, so she wanted to stay with her.
Thus, Shen Shuci completely forgot about her agreent with Huo Qinqi...
They had agreed he would co find her after the wedding tonight.
At the ti, she was so deeply wrapped in passion, Huo Qinqi’s kisses made her dizzy. Despite marking the plan in her mind, the intensive wedding arrangents made her forget it altogether.
Tang Wan, after all, was pregnant. On her wedding night, she probably couldn’t have conjugal relations.
This led to Jiang Jinsang being dragged away for drinks, making it impossible for him to get away, and Qi Zeyan insisting on partying all night until dawn.
Shen Shuci thought Huo Qinqi would be with friends and brothers and thought nothing more.
This directly led to a big misunderstanding later...
**
Elder Shen reached Shen Shuci’s guest room, sat on the bed absentmindedly, thinking of his daughter, eyes red, secretly wiping away several tears.
The old man’s pride wouldn’t let the children see him like this. He took out his wallet, finding a family photo tucked inside, with another photo hidden in the back compartnt.
It was a family photo from Tang Wan’s full month celebration. The more he looked, the more heartbroken he felt, unsure how long he held the photos before putting them away to wash his face in the bathroom.
At that mont, he heard a noise outside.
The hotel door used a card sensor lock, making an electronic unlocking sound when accessed. He turned on the tap, washing his face, only to find soone had opened the door to his room...
He stood frozen, not knowing what to do.
What was going on?
The room was supposed to be Shen Shuci’s, and to his knowledge, she hadn’t booked a shared room.
Most terrifying was that the person had used a card to enter. A hotel staff mber? Impossible, how could they enter a guest room unallowed?
More importantly, Shen Shuci was supposed to be staying there.
Was it possible a pervert had broken in, and the hotel glass had a frosted design? Soone had already stationed themselves at the entrance...
He could only faintly make out a shape, a tall and brawny person, definitely not a woman.
The old man’s mind was chaotic, like the rushing water, he looked around for sothing to use, but the hotel bathrooms only offered disposables, and no useful stick or bat was available.
He picked up a side shower head; should the guy enter, he’d either douse him with water or bash his head with it.
Yet the man stood motionless, making Shen Lao on edge, should he take the initiative?
He couldn’t remain trapped inside like this.
He had just co to wash his face, without bringing his cell phone, unable to call for help.
Rather than waiting for this "pervert" to break in, being proactive might be better. With that thought, he opened the door...
Huo Qinqi, hearing the water inside, assud Shen Shuci was bathing or such. He contemplated rushing in, knowing it wasn’t proper, thus waited at the door.
Upon hearing the door opening and just turning, hot water drenched him...
"You damned..." Shen Lao’s harsh words trailed off, recognizing it was Huo Qinqi, stunned.
So it was this kid?
Their eyes t, both flabbergasted...
Yet the shower head in the old man’s hand kept spraying water, soaking Huo Qinqi’s face, body, and clothes.
In the banquet hall, a group still drank, with Jiang Jinsang ensnared by Tang Wan’s senior brothers. Unaware of Huo Qinqi’s abrupt departure, he had grievances.
Deserting at such a ti, not even helping with drinks? He had found the hotel especially, procuring an aunt’s room card for him.
Yet Jiang Jinsang was oblivious, soone was now facing a tougher situation than he was.
