Chapter 106 This Man Is Provoking

"The food's here! Oh dear, why are you drinking on empty stomachs?!"

"Mom, is there any more wine? Open a few more cans! We're so happy today, let's drink until we drop!"

"Well, we didn't have that many at home. You wait here, I'll go downstairs and buy some right away!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jinye only glanced at Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan immediately understood and stood up, stopping Zeng's mother who was about to get dressed and go downstairs. "Please sit down, I'll go buy it."

"No! No way! That's too embarrassing!"

Before Zeng's mother could finish speaking, Qin Yuan's figure had already disappeared around the corner of the stairs.

A short while later, Qin Yuan returned carrying two large cases of beer!

Looking at the two large cases of beer, Lu Jinye fell into deep thought.

"I asked you to buy some alcohol because I thought a few bottles would be enough. You bought so much, are you planning to drink them both to death?"

"...Oh? Then I'll take it back and return it!"

Qin Yuan scratched his head, and just as his hand touched the box, his other two hands pressed down on it even faster...

"No need to return it! Two cases of wine are nothing!" Zeng Manshan said with high spirits.

Wen Ni nodded in agreement, and then opened two more bottles of wine!

"..."

Qin Yuan glanced at Master Lu's clenched fist, knowing that her salary for this month might be gone again!

Silently, I sat down and watched as Wen Ni and Zeng Manshan went back and forth, drinking one bottle after another.

Listening to them chat about everything under the sun, from the past to the future...

Wen Ni was really happy today; she drank ten bottles by herself.

If you include Zeng Manshan's, the empty bottles they had on the table could be bowled twice!

"Boss, I feel sorry for you! Really."

Zeng Manshan's eyes were glazed over, and he was completely out of his mind. He was still holding up a half-empty bottle of wine and chugging it down his throat.

He squatted on the ground, pointing with his other finger at the red-faced pig on the TV cabinet, mistaking it for Wen Ni, and kept rambling on...

"I only found out later from Fengsui that you suffered so much inhuman treatment in the park! Those criminals, they're not even human!"

At the dinner table, Wen Ni gave a dazed, bitter smile, waved her hand, and said she didn't want to talk about it. She felt her head getting heavier and heavier, and she fell asleep with her head resting on the edge of the table.

"What inhumane treatment?"

She vaguely heard a deep, melancholy voice ask.

And then, she knew nothing more.

I don't know how long I slept.

When she sobered up a bit and opened her hazy eyes, she found herself lying on a large hotel bed with a dim nightlight on the bedside table.

The person sitting by the bedside, watching over her, was Lu Jinye...

He had been asleep with his eyes closed for a while, his brows furrowed slightly, revealing a hint of fatigue.

Perhaps it was the alcohol, or perhaps she was too relaxed today, but her mind wasn't fully clear yet. Clutching the blanket, she moved closer to him, taking a closer look at his face...

How can this face be so beautiful?

That's a really straight nose.

Her lips were thin and pink, and they felt very nice to the touch...

She was almost half-lying beside him, and the finger she was touching his lips was suddenly gently grasped by a large hand!

She looked up, her eyes glazed over, and gazed into his eyes, which he had opened at some point.

The lingering affection in his eyes was intense, just like the warmth of his palm.

“Lu Jinye…”

Do you want to kiss me?

She thought she heard him ask.

How come this man is so good at provoking trouble?

Wen Ni was already feeling restless, and with his seduction, her mind went completely blank. Morality, reason, and restraint were all bullshit!

She reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Then

His head suddenly slammed into his chest with a thud...

Lu Jinye slowly propped himself up.

He looked at Wen Ni, who had fallen asleep instantly in his arms.

This guy is really drunk...

He couldn't help but chuckle, slowly patting the wrinkled corner of her shirt.

He bent down and gently placed her on the pillow.

He reached out and brushed away the stray strands of hair that had fallen onto her shoulder.

Her collar was slightly open, revealing a forked scar on her shoulder.

His breath hitched slightly.

[Locked in a dog cage and forced to fight with wolfhounds, chained up and toyed with, starved, and even imprisoned and subjected to vigilante torture...]

Every word Zeng Manshan told Lu Jinye when he was drunk became tangible when he saw this wound!

She never mentioned any of the pain she experienced while on her mission to anyone, choosing instead to bear it all alone!

“You always say that you forget the past once it's over. But it turns out you haven't really forgotten; it's just that it hurt too much. Every memory is a form of torture and torment for you.”

Lu Jinye murmured in a hoarse voice.

He stretched out his finger and traced the scar on Wen Ni's shoulder again and again, as if he could smooth it out...

Wen Ni slept very soundly that night.

The next day, when the sun was high in the sky, she finally got up, stretched, and felt completely comfortable!

After putting on his coat and stepping out of the bedroom, he saw Qin Yuan heating up the lunch he had bought in the suite's dining area, while Lu Jinye was sitting on the living room sofa watching TV and drinking tea, looking very relaxed.

"Good morning, Miss Wen Ni. Did you sleep well last night?" Qin Yuan smiled, but his gaze was strange, making Wen Ni feel somewhat puzzled.

She nodded, picked up a glass of milk, sat at the restaurant bar, and glanced back at Lu Jinye.

It was this casual glance that allowed the hazy memories from her drunken state to flood into her clear mind!

She seemed to see Lu Jinye after drinking too much last night?

Do you want to kiss me?

Those four words struck me like a thunderbolt!

No, that's not right, she must be hallucinating.

That must be it.

What else did she do?

Damn alcohol, why can't she remember anything about it?

"Miss Wen Ni? Why are you staring at our Master Lu? And why do you look so fierce, like you want to devour him?"

"Qin Yuan, if you don't speak now, no one will think you're mute..."

Wen Ni felt like killing someone. She picked up the milk and drank it all in one gulp!

In front of the television, Lu Jinye didn't even turn his head, but secretly curled his lips and took a sip of tea.

"Our reporter has finally contacted Tang Zi's agent. Now let's hear what he has to say..."

The entertainment channel on the television was playing a familiar name.

Wen Ni, with her sensitive nerves, glanced up and simply walked over with the milk in her hand, her eyes fixed intently on the television screen.

"Tang Zi? She terminated her contract with our company a long time ago."

"She hasn't received any work offers since returning from Myanmar? She's been sidelined? What does that have to do with us?"

"She breached the contract first. An artist without professional ethics deserves to end up like this! I'm telling you this now, no agency will dare to sign her again!"

Beep beep beep—

After making a passionate speech, the unscrupulous former agent hung up the phone immediately.
