Tears blurred her vision as the figures embracing and kissing faded into the distance, but her heart felt as if it were being ripped apart by two cold, hard hands, the pain so intense it was suffocating her...
......
Qiao Wanwan locked herself in her room, refusing to eat or drink. When she woke up, she would just stare blankly, and when she was sleepy, she would drift off to sleep in a daze.
The door was pushed open the following evening, and the maid put down the tray and left quickly.
Zhan Jingting came to the bedside and said in a deep voice, "Qiao Wanwan, get up and eat."
The girl on the bed remained motionless.
“I know you’re awake. Get up and eat by yourself, or I don’t mind feeding you mouth-to-mouth.”
Qiao Wanwan suddenly sat up. "Are you crazy? Can't you just leave me alone?!"
"I've given you peace and quiet for almost a day and a night. Come down and have dinner."
"I won't eat it!"
"It's better if you starve to death. If you starve to death, Gu Xulin and Qiao Yuqi can be together more legitimately. They won't even need to collect your body. It's a way of saving trouble for the two of them."
Qiao Wanwan was taken aback for a moment, then quickly threw off the covers, got out of bed, sat down at the table, and began to eat heartily.
She cannot die. Even if she does, she will drag those who betrayed her down with her!
Seeing that she was willing to eat, Zhan Jingting secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "Eat slowly, no one will take it from you."
Qiao Wanwan ate while silently shedding tears, "Can you let me go?"
"You're not calm right now; letting you go could lead to trouble."
Qiao Wanwan didn't become hysterical; she simply remained silent for a long time before finally speaking, "Do you have any wine? I want to drown my sorrows in alcohol."
"Fill your stomach first, otherwise it will harm your health."
After Qiao Wanwan finished her meal, Zhan Jingting led her downstairs to a wine cellar that was several hundred square meters in size.
Qiao Wanwan had no knowledge of wine, so she casually grabbed a bottle of red wine, opened it, and sat down on the carpet in front of the sofa to drink it.
"That's not how you drink red wine." Zhan Jingting picked out a bottle and poured it into a decanter.
"I'm here to get drunk, not to appreciate the wine."
Qiao Wanwan was heartbroken and all she wanted to do was get drunk.
Zhan Jingting picked up the wine glass and handed it over, "Want to share a glass with me?"
Qiao Wanwan generously poured him a glass.
Zhan Jingting took a sip of red wine; it tasted quite good.
After finishing a bottle of wine, Qiao Wanwan's eyes became a little hazy. "I want to drink more!"
Zhan Jingting handed over his cup.
"I'm going to chug it straight from the bottle!"
"You'll get drunk if you keep pouring it like that."
"I can hold my liquor very well, I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk!" Qiao Wanwan patted her chest, quite boldly.
Zhan Jingting could only get her a bottle of red wine.
Qiao Wanwan picked up the wine and gulped down half a bottle, then burped, her voice trembling with tears, "Today is my engagement party, something I've been looking forward to for a very, very long time."
"You and Gu Xulin are a thing of the past. If you want, I can give you the grandest wedding."
Qiao Wanwan looked up, blinked, and carefully examined his handsome face. "You're really good-looking. You have the potential to be a gigolo."
Zhan Jingting: "......"
The girl sighed, "It's just a pity that the more perfect a man is, the more likely he is to be a jerk, like Gu Xulin."
Zhan Jingting: "......"
He patiently explained, "I'm different from Gu Xulin."
Qiao Wanwan seemed not to hear him and continued talking to herself, "How about I make some money and then take care of you, to make Gu Xulin furious?"
The man's face was so dark it seemed to drip water. He raised his hand, cupped her face, and leaned down to kiss her lips...
