Chapter 229: I'm Better Off When I'm Drunk
When he was about to blurt out those words, Lin Rushang leaned over and covered his mouth.
"Stop talking!"
Besides, she really wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
He Tingchen let her cover his mouth. Her palms were warm, a bit like a cat's paw pads, and had a faint orange scent.
He raised his eyebrows at Lin Rushang.
Lin Rushuang probably realized that she had gone a bit too far and immediately let him go.
Her face flushed with embarrassment and she tried to change the subject.
"You knew I had you wrong last night, why didn't you say it?"
He Tingchen glanced at Lin Rushuang lightly, took out the coffee from the bag and took a sip. There was satisfaction in his voice, and he did not forget to tease her.
"Given the state you were in yesterday, what's the point of me telling you?"
Lin Rushuang actually had some recollection of how she looked last night, but He Tingchen was right.
Even if the person is standing right in front of her, she can still admit her mistake.
Since yesterday, his mind has become much clearer, and He Tingchen called her Lin Daiyu.
Only then did she fully react.
Otherwise, it would be useless to let her look at it again.
She wasn't exaggerating, the alcohol content of those two bottles of wine was really exaggerated. If it weren't for Lin Jianguo's incident...
When she thought of Lin Jianguo, she suddenly remembered something.
She looked up at He Tingchen: "I'm looking for Duan Jiayi, only he can help me."
He Tingchen took a bite of the sandwich, his inky eyes as dark as the deep sea. He raised his hand and tapped lightly on the table, seeming a little dissatisfied.
"Explain to me clearly what you mean by only he can help you?"
Lin Rushuang didn't intend to hide it from him.
"He's Li Wenyuan's uncle. Only he can control Li Wenyuan. Didn't I tell you the details last night? We must get Li Wenyuan to withdraw his report against my father. With his testimony, I can find evidence and use Duan Jiayi's connections to smooth things over with the higher-ups. Only then can my father be cleared of the charges."
He Tingchen now grasped the key words in her words.
"Are you coming to this party because Duan Jiayi is Li Wenyuan's uncle?"
Lin Rushang was a little thirsty, but she didn't want to be pretentious now. Anyway, he had asked Qin Yang to buy her portion, so it would be a waste not to eat it.
She picked up the untouched cup of coffee on the table and was about to insert the straw, but He Tingchen suddenly pulled it away.
Lin Rushang looked at him with a strange look while holding the straw.
Could it be that this man is so stingy that he doesn't even want to give her a cup of coffee?
He Tingchen saw through her thoughts at a glance and pushed the sandwich in front of him towards her.
"Eat this first to fill your stomach before drinking coffee. Don't you always have stomach problems?"
Lin Rushang looked at him in surprise.
"How do you know I have stomach problems?"
Only a few people knew that she had stomach problems. Only Li Wenyuan and Yang Xin knew about it. Even Lin Jianguo didn't know.
Why does He Tingchen know so clearly?
The man deliberately kept the secret: "I should say I know most of your affairs."
Lin Rushuang was confused by what she heard, and she suddenly had an intuition that He Tingchen was hiding something from her.
She thought about how this man often teased her, so she imitated how he usually teased her.
"Do you like me?"
She originally thought that He Tingchen would definitely hit her hard, after all, she knew He Tingchen's mouth very well.
Lin Rushuang was actually mentally prepared.
But He Tingchen spoke in a drawling tone.
"You only know this now?"
Lin Rushuang probably didn't expect that he didn't retort her, and her expression was stunned for a moment.
But after just a few seconds, her expression returned to normal.
"Mr. He is really good at joking."
She turned her head inadvertently and found He Tingchen looking at her.
The light in the room was dim, casting a faint shadow under his three-dimensional brow bone.
There was a lazy smile in his dark eyes, which was reflected in the light above his head. He raised his eyebrows.
"Don't believe it?"
Lin Rushuang said in a cheerful tone: "I believe it. After all, I'm not ugly. It's normal for people to like me."
He Tingchen leaned forward slightly, his whole body moving closer to her. Lin Rushang could clearly feel his hot breath spraying on her face. Thinking of the physical intimacy between the two of them last night, she almost subconsciously stepped back.
A low, hoarse laugh escaped his throat.
"You were so confident just now, why are you dodging all of a sudden?"
Lin Rushuang touched the tip of her nose.
"You can talk properly. There's no need to get so close to me."
"We were so close yesterday, why didn't you say anything?"
He Tingchen stepped back and leaned lazily on the back of the chair.
Lin Rushang's eyes revealed a hint of shyness. Just seeing He Tingchen's throat rolling, her mind inexplicably recalled the scene of last night.
Even though she had been drinking and her mind wasn't clear, the warm touch was obvious.
She felt like she was going crazy.
Lin Rushang subconsciously stood up, trying to hide her embarrassment.
"I'm going to the bathroom."
He Tingchen saw her fleeing in panic, and a hint of joyful smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
It’s better to be drunk.
But next time, he won't be anyone's substitute.
Lin Rushang looked at herself in the mirror with red cheeks, took a deep breath, and held her forehead helplessly.
Even though she was a little reserved with He Tingchen before, it would never be to this extent. She couldn't stand the slightest teasing from him. He hadn't done anything yet, but she was the first to break down her defense.
Lin Rushang washed her face with cold water and forced herself to calm down.
She still had something serious to say, but she must not let him lead her astray.
He didn't care anyway. Her target yesterday was Duan Jiayi, but He Tingchen still did that with him even though he knew he had the wrong person.
Then he has to be responsible.
Lin Rushang returned to the dining table again, and He Tingchen had already finished the coffee and breakfast on the table.
He Tingchen raised his chin towards her, urging her.
"Hurry up and eat. The sandwich won't taste good if it gets cold."
Lin Rushuang picked up the sandwich again and ate it bit by bit. It was fine just now, but after taking two steps, she found that something was particularly uncomfortable in her body.
It's a bit uncomfortable to sit here.
She couldn't show it too obviously, but her physical discomfort made her twist her body cautiously.
He Tingchen glanced at her lightly.
"Why, there's a bug on the chair?"
Lin Rushuang's twisting body suddenly froze, and she lowered her eyelids slightly.
"nothing."
"Did I push too hard last night?"
Lin Rushuang's cheeks turned red again. She bit her lips in embarrassment and really wanted to cover He Tingchen's mouth.
Can he forget what happened last night!
