Late is Not Late

Ji Wan thought Zhou Zechuan was a light in her life. She willingly hid her brilliance and entered into a secret marriage with him for two years, content to be his kept woman. However, she didn'...

Chapter 208: Drugging

While greeting everyone warmly, Wang's father picked up the expensive bottle of red wine on the table and began to open it skillfully.

Chi Wenyan narrowed his eyes slightly, his pupils darkening as he looked at the red wine. "I'm not very good at drinking, so you should enjoy this wine yourself."

The king's father was not willing to give up. He poured a full glass of red wine and handed it to Chi Wenyan, his eyes full of smiles. "Wenyan, this is a rare good wine. I am happy today. I haven't seen you for a long time. You have to drink with me to reminisce about the past. Just a little."

"My stomach has been feeling uncomfortable lately, and the doctor told me not to drink alcohol."

The king's father frowned, a hint of displeasure flashed across his face, but he soon returned to smiling. He shook the wine glass in his hand, and the rich aroma of wine filled the air.

"Wen Yan, this wine has many benefits. Drinking less might even be good for your stomach. Look at the color of this wine, how pure it is. Smell the aroma and you know it's a rare and fine wine."

"Yes, Wen Yan, experts have said that drinking some alcohol can promote blood circulation." The Queen Mother said.

"No, drinking will cause trouble."

Seeing that Chi Wenyan was so stubborn, Wang's father felt helpless, but he didn't want to give up his plan easily.

He rolled his eyes, put down his wine glass, and said to the waiter next to him, "Go and bring up the best tea you have here."

Chi Wenyan didn't want to continue to flatter them, and his expression gradually turned cold.

"No."

In just a blink of an eye, his expression was like an ice sculpture in the cold winter, and he raised his eyes slightly.

In a cold but polite voice, he said to Wang's father, "Uncle Wang, I, Chi Wenyan, am not the kind of person who forgets gratitude. I accepted the kindness you showed me back then, and I will always remember it."

Those little favors were actually not worth mentioning. When his parents were still alive, he lived a good life in the Chi family. His life changed after his parents passed away.

He is no different from a homeless person on the street. He goes hungry and suffers insults every day, but he looks decent on the surface. It is only because of this decency that the Chi family makes him dress decently for the sake of family reputation.

After their family moved in, Wang Yuting approached him and gave him some food, but he saw through her deliberate gesture at a glance.

But in order to survive, he ate those things, even though he knew that these were just leftovers from his family.

"Oh, it's just a matter of convenience. Wen Yan, we know that you didn't have a satisfactory childhood, but it's all over now."

Although Wang's father said this on the surface, he actually hoped that Chi Wenyan would remember this kindness for the rest of his life.

"So, I think we need to have a good talk. I've already done my best to help you with what you're asking for. I'll sign this deal, which can be considered as repaying your favor."

Hearing this, the king's father and mother had a bad feeling in their hearts.

I think this is the end of the matter and our relationship has come to an end."

He paused, as if he was organizing his words, or as if he was giving the king's father some time to understand what he was saying.

Then he continued, "I know you may have some different thoughts about me, but I must tell you clearly that I have no thoughts about Ling Qianjin. She will find someone who belongs to her. I have someone else in my heart, and we are going to get married."

Chi Wenyan's tone was flat, like a bottomless pool of cold water, calm yet chilling.

Therefore, I hope you can let Miss Ling put this thought aside. Uncle Wang, Miss Ling, and I don't want to have any more contact unless absolutely necessary. This isn't unkindness, but I just don't want to cause unnecessary misunderstandings or worry my fiancée. I hope you can understand my position."

After hearing Chi Wenyan's words, the smile on Wang's father's face gradually faded.

After a while.

The Queen Mother also had an ugly expression on her face. What did this mean? Wasn't it just that she wanted to cut off all ties with them?

If this isn't being ungrateful, what is? The king's father gave her a look, and the queen's mother tried hard to hold back and not get angry.

After a while, the waiter came over with an exquisite tea tray with an antique teapot and two teacups on it.

Father Wang picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Chi Wenyan. His eyes seemed calm, but his hands were trembling slightly.

He could never have imagined that Chi Wenyan could love that woman to this extent.

Wang Yuting, who was hiding in the dark, opened her eyes wide when she heard this, and the next moment her eyes were filled with hatred.

"Wen Yan, uncle understands. Actually, I came here this time to apologize to you. Yu Ting disturbed you two days ago. Uncle apologizes to you."

After saying that, Wang's father poured a glass of red wine and drank it all.

Chi Wenyan lowered his eyes, picked up the teacup and took a sip, as a way of giving face to his father Wang.

"Since you said so, uncle also understands, just do as you say, and I will talk to Yuting when I get back."

"Thank you, Uncle Wang."

After drinking the tea, Chi Wenyan was about to leave. Not long after he left the tea room, he suddenly felt hot all over.

A heat began to spread from the stomach and gradually swept through the whole body. Fine beads of sweat began to appear on the forehead and the face turned flushed.

"not good."

The stomach churned and then, like a wild horse breaking free from its reins, gradually swept through the whole body, with a force running rampant in the body.

Chi Wenyan was in so much pain that he had to bend down slightly to relieve the pain.

He suppressed his discomfort and rushed towards the bathroom.

As soon as he rushed into the bathroom, he went straight to the sink, turned on the faucet, and let the cold water hit his face. The cold water hitting his face should have brought a slight coolness and relieved the heat.

But it was of no use at this moment. The heat was still raging in his body, and his body began to tremble slightly, not only because of the unbearable heat, but also because of an inexplicable uneasiness.

At this moment, footsteps were heard outside. The footsteps came from far away and were particularly clear in the quiet bathroom. Chi Wenyan was startled. He really didn't want to be seen like this.

His eyes quickly scanned every corner of the bathroom and finally landed on the cubicle. He rushed into the cubicle without hesitation, then quickly locked the door. He leaned his back against the door, breathing heavily, trying to calm himself down.

"He asked you to send me off?"

Ji Wan looked at Feng Hao in surprise. Feng Hao smiled with a group of burly men in plain clothes behind him.

"Yes, my second brother said that I am more reliable."

Ji Wan's mouth twitched slightly, and he nodded, "Okay, are those people bodyguards?"

"Yes, it's too conspicuous without a suit. I've changed into casual clothes. Sister-in-law, it's almost time to register. Let's go."

Feng Hao drove Ji Wan to the airport. When they arrived at the airport, Ji Wan's eyelids kept twitching. For some reason, he always had a bad premonition.
