Thinking of this, Li Chuni felt a wave of annoyance, restlessness, panic, and a hint of despair. After being single for so many years, all she wanted was to find an outstanding man with depth, one she could genuinely like. Now, when this man had appeared and she was ready to let go of her reserve and boldly pursue him, her good friend seed to have the tendency to interfere.
The tendency was very obvious, and she felt powerless to stop it. She was filled with mixed feelings. What should have been a joyous birthday party turned into a bout of sorrow for her. Watching the man she liked chatting and laughing with her best friend, she could only drown her sorrows in alcohol, drinking one cup after another. Li Chuni's tolerance for alcohol was actually quite poor, and she had already drunk quite a lot. Now, after downing several more cups, she felt fine at first. It was only when the party was over and she stood up to see the guests out that she felt the alcohol churning in her stomach, rushing upwards, causing her to feel dizzy and stagger. Jiang Wei steadied her, and then everyone went downstairs. At the door, only Wang Xiaoqiang had driven there by himself, and the others had taken taxis. As everyone said their goodbyes and hailed taxis to leave, Jiang Wei, worried about Li Chuni—a woman in such a state—taking a taxi alone, thought it could be dangerous if she encountered a lecherous driver. Just as Jiang Wei was worrying, Wang Xiaoqiang said, "You all go back. I'll take Spring Plum ho."
Mo Qi wished he had a car of his own, but unfortunately, after several years abroad, he hadn't achieved much. Nowadays, he was just mixing paint for third-rate artists to earn a little money and stayed at a friend's place. Occasionally, if he could charm a naive young girl, he would freeloading off of her. He had seen that Li Chuni had done quite well over the years and wanted to mooch off her, but that plan had failed. Trying to mooch off Jiang Wei seed even less likely; she was clearly not a naive woman and was far more rational than Li Chuni. With neither talent nor money to his na, how could he win her favor? Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang offering to take Li Chuni ho, Mo Qi felt a strong surge of jealousy. His experience told him that Li Chuni was about to be taken advantage of by Wang Xiaoqiang. Ah, such a pity! A good cabbage was going to be hogged by this guy!
His guess was not wrong. Indeed, Wang Xiaoqiang was no gentlen. In fact, he had already had his way with Li Chuni, and when it ca to won, his approach was always swift and decisive!
He lacked neither money nor won, but what Mo Qi did not expect was that Jiang Wei at this mont seed to be smitten and was boldly asking for Wang Xiaoqiang's phone number.
Wang Xiaoqiang was straightforward, giving it to her directly. Jiang Wei, with her clever mind, morized it instantly and told Wang Xiaoqiang her number, repeating it once more, for fear he wouldn't rember. When she tried to repeat it a second ti, Wang Xiaoqiang laughed and said, "Are you insulting my intelligence?"
Jiang Wei was taken aback, then smiled apologetically, "I'm so sorry, I... I was afraid..."
"That I wouldn't rember, right? Haha, you really are a considerate girl. I hope we have another chance to et in the future!"
"Let's keep in touch over the phone!" Jiang Wei said with a smile, stretching her hand to her ear to mimic a phone call gesture.
Seeing that they had exchanged phone numbers, Li Chuni's sense of crisis intensified. However, though she was sober at the mont, she felt so dizzy she thought she might vomit if she spoke.
Jiang Wei helped Li Chuni into Wang Xiaoqiang's car, then emphasized that he must make sure to take her good friend ho safely.
Wang Xiaoqiang followed Jiang Wei's instructions and drove straight to Li Chuni's private villa.
The car sped through the streets under the neon lights, with colorful lights flashing past the windows, blending into a drunken blur. Already feeling dizzy, Li Chuni didn't dare open her eyes inside the car.
When Wang Xiaoqiang stopped the car in the villa's parking lot,
she could guess what might happen, but she harbored no thoughts of rejection. With any other man, she might have slapped him across the face already, but Wang Xiaoqiang was different—he was the only man she had ever loved in her life. If she didn't love, then let it be; but once she loved, she would love unconditionally. She would not make a move unless she could secure what she wanted. Such an outstanding guy was sure to have nurous pretty girls eyeing him. Jiang Wei was like a Fierce Tiger, and Li Chuni admitted she was no match, even though Li Chuni herself was very beautiful and quite a catch. Comparing herself to Jiang Wei, who was involved in the arts, understood romance, and would find it extrely easy to be with Wang Xiaoqiang, Li Chuni, a doctor, lacked that sense of romance. Therefore, she must act first or else such an excellent man would slip through her fingers!
Once in the living room,
Wang Xiaoqiang didn't linger, Li Chuni didn't speak.
In the bedroom, Wang Xiaoqiang still didn't put her down, and Li Chuni still didn't say a word. Seeing this...
