Chapter 15
Li Yan gently rubbed her lips with his fingers, and he said playfully, “Didn’t you say that you want to get some life experiences? How was it? Did you manage to gain something?”
Qiao Mu was rendered speechless. ‘Of course not! I’ve suffered huge losses instead, okay?’
Qiao Mu did not know whether it was because she was angry or because of the alcohol, but her body was heating up uncontrollably from the inside, and she felt tremendously bad.
She kicked him forcefully and ran away. But she had only managed to take a few steps when her legs went limp, and she plopped down to the floor.
Li Yan crossed his arms before his chest and lowered his head to look at her. “Why? Have you forgotten how to walk?”
Qiao Mu felt that something was not quite right, and it was as if there was a fire burning in her body. She cut a pitiable figure as she raised her head to look at Li Yan. “Is there poison inside that bottle of whisky? Why are my legs going limp?”
‘Drugged…
‘Isn’t this little thing a little too imaginative?’
Li Yan found it amusing. He reckoned that the little thing had drank too much, and she was starting to act crazy. After all, he had seen her drunk before. However, Qiao Mu’s face was scrunched up because of how horrible she was feeling. She placed her hands before her chest, and it seemed like every breath was arduous for her. She really looked like she was in pain.
Only then did Li Yan realize that something was wrong.
He helped Qiao Mu up and asked with furrowed eyebrows. “Where does it hurt?”
Qiao Mu pointed at where her heart was. “It’s beating really fast. I feel horrible.”
Her cheeks were unnaturally red, and her hands were burning hot. This was not how a drunk person should feel. Her consciousness was starting to slip away, and she clutched Li Yan’s clothes tightly as she was worried that he would leave her alone.
Li Yan reached out and touched her skin. It was abnormally hot. His expression immediately became ice-cold.
‘Damn it! President Chen is such a f*cker! He actually laced the whisky with an aphrodisiac!’
Li Yan supported Qiao Mu as they walked towards the elevator. This was when someone walked over from the opposite direction. That person stopped in his tracks when he saw Qiao Mu. “Mu Mu, what happened to you?”
Qiao Mu was in a daze as she looked at that person. “Senior Han Su…”
Han Su could tell that Qiao Mu was in an abnormal state. He froze for a moment when he saw the man beside Qiao Mu. He then smiled politely. “Sir, it seems that Qiao Mu has had a little too much to drink. Do you mind letting me take over from here?”
Han Su knew that the man before him was Li Yan. Li Yan was extremely renowned in the business world, and everyone knew him. Even though this was their first time meeting, Han Su immediately recognized who he was.
Li Yan arched an eyebrow when he heard what Han Su said. “Do I mind? Who are you to her?”
“I am her boyfriend. Since Mu Mu is drunk, I should not trouble you with her.” Han Su smiled. He was the one who arranged for Qiao Mu to work here, and he could not just stand idly by as another man took her away.
‘Boyfriend?’
Li Yan’s expression immediately turned dark, and his face was frighteningly icy.
He grabbed Qiao Mu’s chin and said in a husky voice. “Tell him who I am to you.”
Qiao Mu looked at the handsome face before her in a daze. Her consciousness was already slipping away, and she said without being aware of it, “You’re my uncle.”
Li Yan flashed a cold smile and looked at Han Su. “Did you hear that?”
Han Su froze. ‘Uncle? Li Yan is Qiao Mu’s uncle? Why would Qiao Mu be facing financial problems when she has such a powerful uncle?’
However, before Han Su could say anything, Li Yan had already helped Qiao Mu into the elevator. Right before the doors slid close, a warning rang out from the elevator. “Don’t let me catch you being anywhere near her again.”
Li Yan was obviously being extremely possessive, and Han Su was taken aback. ‘Is this how an uncle should be acting?’
