When Nan Xia moved to her rival's law firm, the entire city was in an uproar. Song Yanzhi, a legendary figure in the legal world, was known as her nemesis, but what people didn't know was t...
Chapter 352 He wants to force himself on Nan Xia tonight!
Upon hearing her words, Lu Qinghe remained silent for a moment, then pulled her hands away and said in a solemn, deep voice:
"I really love Nanxia. After we get married, I will live a good life with her. If you don't behave yourself, you can quit your job."
Duan Xue gritted her teeth secretly, and couldn't help but sneer inwardly. He could vent his anger on her whenever he wanted, and kick her away whenever he wanted? There's no such thing as a free lunch.
Mrs. Lu, you've settled into your seat!
"Get to work quickly," he commanded.
Duan Xue turned and walked towards the service counter. The wine hadn't been delivered to the private room yet; she needed to put the medicine outside.
In the private room, Zhouzhou saw that Uncle Lu and his assistant had been out for a long time, and suspected that the two of them were cheating on their mother.
As he was thinking, the door to the private room opened, and Lu Qinghe walked in, sat down next to Nan Xia, and handed her a slice of watermelon: "Here, have some fruit."
"I've already eaten, you can eat by yourself," Nan Xia said indifferently.
"Are you still angry about me lying to you this morning?" he asked, looking at her.
"A little," she said directly.
Lu Qinghe put one hand on her other shoulder and apologized to her, "Don't be angry, I was wrong, I will never lie to you again. When the wine is delivered, I will punish myself with three drinks!"
Besides, minor disagreements are normal between couples. We should all be more understanding; otherwise, we'd be arguing every day of the rest of our lives.
Listening to his words, Nan Xia couldn't help but think of herself and Song Yanzhi, who had also had many conflicts with her... magnanimity...
She suddenly shook her head. What was she thinking? Weren't she about to get her marriage certificate with Lu Qinghe?
The door to the private room opened, and a waiter brought in two bottles of red wine worth tens of thousands of yuan. He poured them for them before leaving the room.
Lu Qinghe picked up a glass and handed it to her: "Shall we have a drink? Let's celebrate getting our marriage certificate in advance."
"My injury hasn't healed yet, and I'm still taking medication, so I can't drink alcohol. You can drink it yourself." Nan Xia leaned back on the sofa and didn't take it.
The man was stunned for a moment, and his brows furrowed slightly. He had forgotten that she couldn't drink alcohol now, but the medicine should all be in this bottle of wine, right?
Nanxia looked at his expression and felt something was strange. "What are you thinking about?"
"Uh... I'm sorry, I forgot. Wait a moment, I'll go get you a drink." Lu Qinghe said as he got up and walked out.
He bumped into his assistant in the hallway. The assistant, with one hand in his pocket, glanced around and asked in a low voice, "Do you still have that medicine? Nanxia is still taking it and can't drink alcohol..."
“I put all the medicine in there, where would there be any left? Just tell her to drink less, right?” Duan Xue said, pouting.
“She’ll be suspicious if you try to persuade her to drink now. Go find a waiter here; they should sell that stuff. Get her a freshly squeezed drink.” Lu Qinghe leaned closer to her and whispered this before returning to the private room.
He didn't bring the drinks into the house himself, lest Nanxia suspect him later.
Inside the room, Zhouzhou looked at the glass of red wine that no one had drunk from. He picked it up, swirled it in his hand, and then smelled it. The wine had a faint, pleasant aroma. He turned to ask:
"Mommy, can I have a drink?"
"Children shouldn't drink alcohol. You can drink it when you're older," Nanxia said, rubbing her son's head.
"I want to try a bite, just to see what it tastes like. One bite won't make me drunk." He pouted and shook her leg.
"Okay, I can only have one sip..." she said helplessly.
"Mmm." Zhouzhou was about to drink when Lu Qinghe, who had just walked in, suddenly saw the child about to drink the drugged wine. He was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. Duan Xue said that all the drugs had been put in. Even adults couldn't stand it, let alone a child.
What if he gets sick from drinking it?
"Zhouzhou can't drink!" He strode over, snatched the wine glass from the child's hand, and seeing Nan Xia staring at him, he explained in a calm tone:
"Children should not be allowed to drink alcohol, as alcohol can cause irreversible damage to many aspects of physical development, the nervous system, and organ function."
“He just took a sip to taste it,” Nan Xia said.
“That won’t do either. We have to think about his health. What if he gets addicted?” he said, making an excuse.
Seeing how much he cared for his child, Nanxia's gaze softened. She then said to her son, "Did you hear that? You can't drink anything right now. Eat fruit and drink milk instead."
Zhouzhou pouted, how could one sip be addictive? He thought Uncle Lu was just pretending to care about him so that Mommy would have a good impression of him!
At that moment, the waiter brought in a glass of freshly squeezed juice, placed it in the middle of the table, and then left. Lu Qinghe handed the drink to her: "Shall we have a drink?"
He picked up his wine glass and clinked it with hers. Nanxia had been eating sunflower seeds and was a little thirsty, so she took several sips from her glass.
Seeing that she had downed almost half a glass in one gulp, a glint of cunning flashed in the man's eyes. He was certain he could make love to her tonight.
Now all we have to do is wait for the drug to take effect, then we'll take her to a hotel. Once they've consummated their marriage, Song Yanzhi definitely won't try to take her away again.
Outside, at the bar counter.
Song Yanzhi arrived early, and since Lu Qingya would be coming soon, things would be inconvenient. He took out a check for 500,000 yuan and said to the waiter inside:
"Do me a favor, and this check is yours."
The waiter took the check, glanced at the amount, and his eyes lit up immediately. He asked very respectfully, "What would you like me to do, sir?"
"Find a way to get a bottle of wine into room 2015. It has to be laced with something..."
Song Yanzhi beckoned with his finger, and the waiter leaned in to listen. Upon hearing what the customer wanted to add, he suddenly smiled:
The guests in room 2015 are really unlucky. Their wine was spiked, their drinks were spiked, and now someone is trying to spike them again!
"Since you've given me so much money, I can tell you a secret..."
"What secret?" he asked in a deep voice.
"The guests in that private room have already asked me to add that 'ingredient,' and I've also added it to their drinks and wine. Sir, are you sure you want to send them another bottle?" the waiter asked, looking at him.
Song Yanzhi's face immediately darkened. He had known that the man surnamed Lu was no good. He must be trying to force himself on Nan Xia.
Her injuries haven't fully healed yet, how could she...?
"How long has it been?" he asked coldly.
"The alcohol and drinks have been in there for over twenty minutes; they must have already drunk them," the waiter said.
Upon hearing his words, Song Yanzhi frowned. It was too late to stop them now; he could only keep an eye on them and prevent him from taking that stupid woman to a hotel.
If Nanxia knew that it was that guy surnamed Lu who drugged her, would she still marry him?
"Was the man from room 2015 who came to see you?" he suddenly asked.
