Chapter 369: Meeting and Getting Drunk

The call was answered almost instantly.

"Boss Su?"

Chi Wenyan's low voice came with a hint of surprise.

Su Mingyue came straight to the point, her tone calm and composed.

"Boss Chi, Miss Ji is here with me. She's drunk."

No extra explanations, no comments.

Among smart people, know when to stop.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and then a clear response came.

"Send me the address."

Su Mingyue gave the address, hung up the phone, turned around and looked at the slender figure in the living room who was lying on the bar, mumbling something.

In less than twenty minutes, Chi Wenyan's tall and straight figure appeared at the door of the apartment.

He was wearing a well-tailored black shirt with his sleeves casually rolled up. His face was expressionless, but the low pressure emanating from his body made the air around him stagnant.

Su Mingyue went up to him and gave him a few brief instructions.

Chi Wenyan nodded in thanks, his eyes passing through the crowd and landing precisely on Ji Wan.

He strode over, the lingering smell of alcohol in the air making his brows frown even tighter.

Ji Wan seemed to sense something and raised his head dazedly.

In her hazy vision, she saw a familiar face that made her heart ache.

She blinked and rubbed it harder.

Is it a dream?

How did this bastard appear here?

It must be a dream.

Only in her dreams did she dare to be so presumptuous.

Ji Wan suddenly smiled, with a drunken charm and sharp hatred.

She stretched out her finger and lightly tapped Chi Wenyan's chest.

Her voice was soft, but it pierced like a needle.

"Chi Wenyan, you liar, are you here to laugh at me?"

Chi Wenyan let her fingers poke him, his deep eyes locked tightly on her red eyes. His heart felt like it was being gripped by an invisible hand, feeling stuffy and painful.

He leaned down, his warm breath brushing against her ear, his voice low and suppressed.

"Wanwan, look at me and tell me, what did I lie to you about?"

He guided patiently, trying to make everything clear.

Ji Wan was frightened by the deep emotions in his eyes and forgot to struggle for a moment.

She seemed to have opened her mouth and poured out the contents of the recorder and the woman's provocative words.

"I saw you guys kissing, and last night, you were a jerk. You used me and lied to me."

Tears slid down uncontrollably, mixing with the alcohol, burning her cheeks and also burning Chi Wenyan's heart.

Chi Wenyan listened quietly, his face becoming increasingly gloomy, and the coldness around him almost froze the air.

Impossible, but she swore it.

The fragmented information was quickly pieced together in his mind.

He finally understood where the problem lay.

It turned out that someone was behind the scenes, deliberately creating misunderstandings.

Looking at Ji Wan's tearful and heartbroken look, an indescribable heartache and anger swept over him.

He reached out his hand and gently wiped away the tears from her cheeks, his movements more gentle than ever before.

"Wanwan, it's not like that."

His voice had a soothing power, but also contained a subtle coldness.

He will never let go of anyone who dares to sow discord.

Chi Wenyan carefully picked up Ji Wan.

She depended on him like a soft and boneless kitten.

The smell of alcohol mixed with the faint fragrance on her body penetrated into Chi Wenyan's nose.

He held her in his arms and walked out of Su Mingyue's apartment with steady steps.

The cool night breeze blew away some of the smell of alcohol and made Chi Wenyan's mind clearer.

He gently placed Ji Wan on the back seat and carefully fastened her seat belt.

"Stop making trouble and be good."

In the dim light, her quiet sleeping face looked particularly fragile.

The long eyelashes are like butterfly wings, casting a faint shadow under the eyelids.

Chi Wenyan's fingertips gently brushed across her cheek, the touch was delicate and smooth.

The tenderness in his eyes almost overflowed, completely different from the sadness he had just felt when facing Ji Wan's questioning.

He started the car and drove towards Ji Wan's residence.

The car was silent except for the low roar of the engine.

Chi Wenyan would occasionally glance through the rearview mirror at Ji Wan in the back seat to make sure she was safe.

Carry Ji Wan back to the bedroom and place her on the soft big bed.

Chi Wenyan took off his coat and gently covered her with the quilt.

The room was filled with a faint smell of alcohol and her scent, warm and peaceful.

He sat beside the bed, staring at Ji Wan's sleeping face quietly.

In the dim light from the bedside, he carefully traced her eyebrows and eyes, as if he wanted to engrave her deeply in his heart.

Time passed minute by minute, and only when he was sure that Ji Wan was asleep did Chi Wenyan get up and leave the bedroom.

Instead of leaving the apartment immediately, he went to the living room and made a phone call.

The call was picked up quickly.

"Where?" Chi Wenyan's voice was cold and carried an unquestionable pressure.

The person on the other end of the phone seemed stunned for a moment, then carefully gave the address.

Chi Wenyan hung up the phone, his eyes gloomy.

He changed his coat and walked out of the apartment again.

As the night deepened, the city lights gradually dimmed.

Chi Wenyan drove to the bottom of an apartment building.

He went straight upstairs and rang the doorbell of a room.

The door opened quickly, and a slightly made-up face appeared before her eyes.

"Wen Yan? Why are you here so late?" The woman's face was a little surprised, but her tone was a little coquettish.

Chi Wenyan ignored her pretense and walked straight into the room.

"Did you cause Ji Wan to misunderstand me?" He went straight to the point, his tone icy without a trace of warmth.

The woman's smile froze on her face and her eyes flickered.

"What? What are you talking about?" She pretended to be confused, trying to get away with it.

Chi Wenyan sneered and stared at her sharply.

"Still pretending? You deliberately let Wanwan misunderstand those words, right?"

The woman's face turned pale instantly.

She didn't expect Chi Wenyan to come to her so soon, and she didn't expect him to directly point out her plan.

"I just don't want to see you being deceived by her!" Her eyes were red and her voice was tearful.

"Lie? What did Ji Wan lie to me about?" Chi Wenyan took a step closer, and his powerful aura made the woman breathless.

"She's not sincere in approaching you. She's just after your money and your status." The woman screamed at the top of her lungs, her tone filled with jealousy and resentment.

Chi Wenyan's eyes became increasingly cold, as if he was looking at a clown.

"That's enough." He interrupted the woman, his voice low and authoritative. "I know Ji Wan better than you do. As for you, stop thinking about those little things. From today on, this is the end of it between us."

After saying that, Chi Wenyan turned around and left without even looking at the woman.

The woman stood there blankly, tears streaming down her face.

She knew that she had completely lost Chi Wenyan and everything she could rely on.

Anger and resentment grew wildly in her heart.
