Chapter 1440: Qu Jingwan’s Scheme
“Why can’t you see that I love you so much?” Qu Jingwan noticed the frown on the man’s face and deduced that the fragrance had taken effect.
She gently caressed his chest and a numbing sensation assaulted Ji Ziming’s entire body.
“If you really like children, how about I give birth to one for you, too?
“I’ll give birth to as many children as you want.
“Will you love me, then?”
Her bright-red lips looked so enticing in his blurred vision.
“You drugged me!” The man shoved her hand away and coldly regarded her. “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll chase you out of the house?”
“I really love you; why do you always push me aside?”
Her pitiful expression could fool any man but him.
“Do you believe that I can let your family pay a price you’ll never be able to expect?!”
His expression was frosty and calm, but the numerous beads of sweat on his forehead exposed the fact that the drug had already taken effect.
Just as she wanted to walk over to him, he took a glass of red wine from a passing waiter and downed it at one go. This was a surprise for her, for she had been considering how she could persuade him to drink wine.
“I truly love you.” She smiled widely at him, her eyes full of excitement.
In just half an hour’s time, the man would be hers to manipulate.
Her eyes swirled with anticipation and excitement as she watched him struggle and resist the drug’s effects.
Her grandmother told her that the two bottles of drugs were obtained from the black market. They were potent and just a whiff of them could send men’s rationality astray. If they downed the aphrodisiac, their libido would be on fire for twelve hours.
As each drug was extremely potent, it could not be obtained by regular means.
She waved a waiter over. “Young Master Ji isn’t feeling very well, so help him up to rest in his room. I’ll go over to take care of him later.” She then whipped out a stack of notes and stuffed them into the waiter’s chest pocket. “This is your tip; please take care of him well.”
“Thank you, ma’am! I will!” The waiter eyed the tip in his vest and furtively stuffed them in his pants pocket. His eyes shone from smiling. “I’ll now send the CEO up to rest now.”
“Go on.” She waved him off. “Ziming, I’ll come up to look for you later.”
Now that she had settled him, only Pei Ge was left to deal with.
She sauntered over to the woman, who was seated at the bar having foie gras. She picked up the cherry on the mousse cake with her slender fingers and popped it into her mouth as though she were savoring the best delicacy in the world. “Pei Ge, do you want to try one?”
The woman shook her head. “No, thanks. You enjoy it yourself.”
“I’ll eat it if you don’t want to, then.”
“Why are you here? Where is Ziming?”
“You know that he doesn’t want to talk to me, so he found an excuse to talk business with Boss Lin of the construction company. Now that I’m alone, it’s so boring.”
“You can continue eating; I am done here.” Pei Ge eyed the hall and, indeed, did not find the man anywhere. Hence, she put down her fork and said to the other woman, “You can try this foie gras. It is pretty good and is quite similar in taste to the one I had at a hotel in America.”
“I don’t like that. You can have it yourself; I’ll go up to rest now. Enjoy yourself.”
“Okay. Byebye.” She waved at the lady and turned to look at the musician blowing in a saxophone on stage.
Qu Jingwan, meanwhile, sashayed her way to the elevator and up the presidential suite with a smile on her face.
Although she loved Qu Qingyu wholeheartedly, she had to turn a false thing into truth now. Her maternal grandmother was right; she could only defeat Ji Ziming’s love for Pei Ge if she bore him a child.
Once she bore his child, the Ji family’s inheritance would one day be hers. When that time came, it was not impossible for her to be with her cousin again.
The elevator stopped with a ding. Taking a deep breath, she mustered up her courage and opened the door to the man’s room.
The bright and dazzling chandelier lit up the room like it was daytime. She immediately caught a waft of a familiar fragrance when she entered the room. Before she went down to the banquet hall, she ordered Xu Weitian to give her a copy of the key to the man’s room. The smell in this room was his.
Alas, she did not spot his figure anywhere in the room!
W-Where is he?!
