He Lingchuan hesitated, realizing he couldn't confront Shen Yanxi directly, so he had no choice but to leave.
He recalled what Shen Yanxi had done, and his heart ached beyond measure.
She never respected herself; at any moment, she was like a pet that she could tease at any time.
He Lingchuan gave a self-deprecating laugh and pressed down the group photo that was placed on the bedside table.
After he composed himself, Gu Chengze sent him a message: "The project is progressing smoothly."
Finally, there was some good news. Looking at the familiar villa, he thought to himself that he could just bear it a little longer and it would pass. Even if he had to move, he would wait until the project was finished.
Once his current research project is successfully completed, no one will be able to threaten him anymore.
Whether it's money or opportunities, he can get them himself.
He Lingchuan paced around the room. The children were fast asleep, and he probably wouldn't have a chance to meet Shen Yanxi tonight.
She was definitely with Zhou Mingyan. After thinking for a while, He Lingchuan decided to go back to the lab.
This place was like an airtight glass jar to him, trapping him inside.
He cannot escape; he could suffocate at any moment.
"Why is it raining?"
It's impossible to get a taxi at this time, and walking there isn't very realistic for him.
His car was parked in a garage outside the villa area, and it would take some time to walk there. With such heavy rain, the garage was probably flooded.
Considering his own safety, He Lingchuan had no choice but to give up.
Half an hour, an hour...
Shen Yanxi still hadn't returned; he hadn't even heard the door open.
He was hesitating whether to call Shen Yanxi when he heard footsteps outside the door.
It should be Shen Yanxi.
He forced himself not to look at the people outside, thinking that Zhou Mingyan should be able to get her safely back to her room.
After waiting for a while, the footsteps stopped abruptly, leaving He Lingchuan somewhat puzzled.
He pushed open the door and entered, just in time to meet Shen Yanxi's gaze.
Why are you lying here?
She reeked of alcohol and appeared to be unconscious.
Where is Zhou Mingyan?
He Lingchuan looked around but couldn't find Zhou Mingyan.
He sighed and prepared to call for help.
Shen Yanxi suddenly stood up, wrapped her arms around his waist, and pressed him against the wall.
"Chen Yanxi, you've had too much to drink. Open your eyes and see who I am."
She was clearly not sober. He Lingchuan poked her cheek, but he didn't dare to use too much force. Shen Yanxi was not very well-behaved when she was drunk, and he was afraid that Shen Yanxi's voice would be too loud and disturb the children.
"Can you hear me? Shen Yanxi? Please wake up!"
"Who are you?"
Shen Yanxi suddenly raised her upper eyelids, looking puzzled.
"Speak up, who are you?"
She's in a completely unrecognizable state right now.
He Lingchuan was furious. How could Zhou Mingyan have gotten him so drunk?
Why doesn't he keep an eye on Shen Yanxi?
Previously, when he and Shen Yanxi went out for business dinners, as long as he was there, he would never let Shen Yanxi get so drunk that she passed out.
He Lingchuan clenched his fists at his sides, and his face grew increasingly somber.
"I shouldn't have come back."
He gritted his teeth, grabbed Shen Yanxi by the shoulders and waist, and tried to take her back to her room.
"Don't touch me! Who gave you permission to touch me?"
Shen Yanxi suddenly seemed to wake up. She moved closer to He Lingchuan, and their noses touched. He Lingchuan stiffened, and he awkwardly curled the corners of his mouth: "Shen Yanxi, do you know what you're doing?"
He is a normal man, and a man who likes Shen Yanxi.
Does she realize just how dangerous his actions are?
"He Lingchuan?"
As if she suddenly recognized the person in front of her, she poked his nose: "Isn't it He Lingchuan?"
"It's me. You recognize me?"
He Lingchuan chuckled self-deprecatingly: "Can we go back now?"
"You want to separate from me?"
The name Shen Yanxi sounded somewhat aggrieved, and He Lingchuan paused for a few seconds: "It was clearly you..."
"Take me back to sleep."
Shen Yanxi suddenly raised her hand and hooked it around his shoulder, while tapping his arm with her other hand to remind him to hurry up and take her back to her room.
"Grab me."
He Lingchuan felt a moment of disappointment, thinking that Shen Yanxi regretted separating from him.
He led Shen Yanxi toward her room, but the person beside him did not move, instead staring at the room next to him.
"Where to? This is the room."
"This is my room."
He Lingchuan was even more puzzled. He patted Shen Yanxi's cheek and asked, "Are you drunk or not? Are you sober right now?"
No, she must be drunk. A sober Shen Yanxi would never think of going to her own room.
Just as He Lingchuan was about to persuade her, Shen Yanxi pushed him away and went inside by herself.
"Don't."
Before He Lingchuan could finish speaking, Shen Yanxi grabbed his wrist and pulled him inside.
The moment the door closed, He Lingchuan's mind wandered.
He supported Shen Yanxi's waist with one hand to prevent her from slipping down, and subconsciously swallowed.
Do you miss me?
Shen Yanxi suddenly spoke, and He Lingchuan didn't know how to answer.
He stammered, but before he could speak, he heard Shen Yanxi's self-deprecating laughter: "You don't miss me, do you? Only I am missing you."
Her voice was much gentler than usual, and less domineering; she sounded more like a little woman now.
He Lingchuan was somewhat surprised: "You mean you miss me?"
"How could I not miss you? I like you so much."
Shen Yanxi poked his cheek and accused him, "How could you be so heartless? You just said you didn't want me anymore?"
She looked like a young girl who had just fallen in love, and He Lingchuan asked incredulously, "Are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else?"
He didn't believe Shen Yanxi would miss him, and He Lingchuan's hand on Shen Yanxi's waist tightened: "I'll take you back to your room."
"I just like you, why don't you believe me?"
Shen Yanxi suddenly hooked her arm around He Lingchuan's neck, pulling him closer. The two were so close that He Lingchuan could no longer tell whether her words were true or false.
Their breaths mingled, and He Lingchuan could clearly feel the changes happening in his body.
Unable to control his desires, he traced random lines on Shen Yanxi's cheek with his fingertips: "I didn't want this, it's you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Yanxi had already kissed him.
He Lingchuan's last shred of reason vanished instantly. He could no longer control himself, and his longing and love for Shen Yanxi burst forth. He kissed her forcefully, and the two became entangled.
After tossing and turning until the wee hours of the morning, Shen Yanxi was completely satisfied, and He Lingchuan looked at her sleeping face with the same satisfaction.
The next morning, He Lingchuan planned to take this opportunity to have a good talk with her.
He had barely regained consciousness, and before he even opened his eyes, he felt around him, but there was no one there.
"Yan Xi?"
He suddenly opened his eyes, fearing it was all a dream.
Shen Yanxi finished dressing and glanced at him sideways: "Let's pretend that yesterday's events never happened."
