Kong Sang froze for a moment. This bastard has gone mad; he'll drink anything!
The Lin family is no small family, and everyone knows that alluring face. The upper echelons of society are only so big; everyone knows each other.
William glanced at the empty wine glass, his emerald eyes flashing slightly as he said, "Mr. Lin, what's going on...?"
"Pursuers, how can anyone stand to see the girl I like being forced to drink like this? I'll drink this toast, but does Young Master William think I'm not good enough?"
William paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "How could that be? With President Lin's status, there's no question of whether he's qualified or not. Sang is so beautiful, it's not surprising that President Lin is pursuing her. I wish President Lin success in winning the heart of this beauty."
Lin Changli nodded: "Thank you for your kind words. We've had enough wine, how about we catch our breath?"
"Haha, since President Lin has spoken, we should naturally give him face. Sang, I will be in Country C for a while longer. There's no rush for us old friends to get together."
Kong Sang smiled: "Alright, have a pleasant night."
William was clearly the leader of the other group. Since he was ready to release the people, no one dared to cause any more trouble. Lin Changli put his arm around Kong Sang and left the banquet, as if he really wanted to get some fresh air.
Kong Sang was very familiar with this place. He led Lin Changli to the quiet backyard and pushed him onto a carved, antique wooden chair.
"Are you crazy? You drink everything. What's wrong with you? That bastard wouldn't kill me, but he definitely didn't poison me with anything good."
Having not seen her for over half a month, Lin Changli greedily stared at every part of the girl before him; he had overestimated himself…
After not seeing each other for a while, instead of calming down, the blood in our veins was clamoring to merge into each other when we met again.
The cool, ethereal fragrance kept filling my nostrils, and all I could see were the girl's lips moving, so I couldn't hear what she was saying at all.
Ah, so that's the effect of the drug—hallucination. They want to make the Nie family lose face? The same old trick, nothing new.
Seeing that the person's eyes were unfocused and that they weren't responding to her, Kong Sang became anxious; something was really wrong...
She should still go find someone. Even though he drank it himself, she didn't want to owe him anything.
As soon as he turned around, he was grabbed around the waist and pulled into an embrace. Lin Changli whispered, "Kiss me, and I'll be fine."
These obviously provocative words had already prepared Lin Changli for a slap or being thrown down, but who knew...
Kong Sang cupped his face, kissed his lips deeply, her soft, fragrant tongue hooking around his. After a while, she pulled away and asked, "Did it really work?"
Lin Changli laughed and pressed his large hand on Kong Sang's nape: "It works, but it's not intense enough and lacks effect. Let me do it."
He lowered his head and kissed Kong Sang, swallowing all the lipstick from her red lips, making the color even more vibrant...
As he continued to suckle, Kongsang's breathing gradually became labored, and he gasped for breath in discomfort.
“Um… Lin Changli… I…”
A soft, delicate cry nearly made Lin Changli transform into a big bad wolf and devour the person...
Holding Kong Sang tightly, pressing her against his lap to conceal her unusual behavior, Lin Changli said fiercely, "Don't make a sound."
Kong Sang rolled her eyes, obediently lay on Lin Changli's shoulder, calmed her breathing, and selectively ignored the strange feeling under her buttocks.
She really didn't know that this guy was taking advantage of her, but it's okay, consider it payment for helping her out of that predicament.
She wasn't curious why nothing was wrong; as long as nothing happened, that was enough, and she wouldn't owe him anything.
A few minutes later, Little Lin quieted down.
Lin Changli pinched Kong Sang's cheek and said unhappily, "It's been more than half a month since we last met, and you don't seem to notice anything amiss. Have you forgotten about me?"
Kong Sang glanced at him sideways: "Haven't seen you for over half a month, how do you know I haven't done anything wrong?"
Lin Changli choked. Could he admit that he had secretly sent people to investigate Kong Sang's every move? He wouldn't say something so shameful.
"Hmph, I knew it anyway. Don't worry about why. I'm asking you, have you thought about me during this time?"
He wanted to say he hadn't thought about it, but when he met those light-colored eyes, Kong Sang told the truth: "I think about it occasionally."
Lin Changli was completely bewildered again, and Sangsang said she missed him... completely ignoring the meaning of the word "occasionally"...
With a softened gaze, Lin Changli didn't want to say anything more. He pulled the person into his arms, all his words drowned out by the powerful beating of his heart.
At this moment, Lin Changli had forgotten that he had promised not to be led by the nose, and had once again willingly put his head in the noose...
Kong Sang's peach blossom eyes flickered, and she suddenly felt that this guy was a bit silly. Was he really that easy to manipulate?
This is different from the outside world's assessment of Lin Changli, isn't it? Could it be that the one in his arms is an imposter...?
Thinking about this, I couldn't help but have some ideas.
If they are obedient, it would be a good thing if she could keep the Lin family under her control; the system's main mission is to live well.
But she thought that living well is not just about existing; what's the point of that?
Either you don't care about life and death, and you live life to the fullest, then you shine brightly and live as you please. In her past life, she was weak and died an unclear death, so it's okay, it's a relief anyway.
She'd love to torment others if she could do it all over again, so why not have another showdown with the Nie family? How interesting!
She's already died once, so if she thinks about it carefully, she's gained a second life, so she might as well live it to the fullest!
Kong Sang reached out and stroked Lin Changli's back, laughing heartily.
But she didn't see Lin Changli, who was leaning on her shoulder, also looking pleased, a playful smile curving his lips...
When the morning ended, Yu Wei breathed a sigh of relief, thinking the banquet was over, her face almost frozen from smiling.
But after the foreign friends left, a second wave of people entered, and Yu Wei put on a mask of pain...
Qi Yun Shen approached and chuckled: "Can't even handle this?"
Yu Wei was speechless: "Why can't it be resolved in one go?"
Qi Yunshen's narrow eyes deepened slightly: "Most of the guests at the banquet this morning are families from all over the world. Because of the gene drug, they have various dealings with the Nie family. Some of them have sensitive identities and it's not good for them to meet with the military and political figures of Country C."
"But the Nie family originated from Country C, and their roots are still here. In order to show their respect for Country C, the banquet this afternoon was truly attended by high-ranking officials from Country C, with no outsiders present."
Yu Wei seemed to understand, but in fact, without the apocalypse, she would never have known people like Yun Shen, who were at the top of power.
She was in a foreign welfare home when she became aware of her surroundings. Later, she was adopted by a fallen nobleman. Life was difficult, but warm. However, this happy time did not last long, and her adoptive father passed away a few years later.
She worked hard to support herself through her studies, overcoming numerous obstacles along the way, and eventually became a renowned designer.
If things had continued normally, she would have found a good man to marry someday, had children, and lived a peaceful and happy life.
But that was just a thought. Later... the apocalypse came, and fame and warmth were nothing compared to life.
Because of the healing-type mutated gene ability she awakened, she embarked on a path completely different from the future she had predicted...
But it wasn't all darkness; she also gained a lot, such as... the man she loved, An Xiuqi.
Seeing the pain in Yu Wei's almond-shaped eyes, Qi Yunshen easily knew who she was thinking of.
An indescribable sense of resentment stirred within him, and the emotions hidden behind his gold-rimmed glasses finally erupted. He grasped her soft, boneless hand, their fingers intertwined.
