Chapter 369: Song Ling was Drugged
Translator: _Min_ |
Jiang Yue certainly wouldn’t allow anyone beat her to it, especially considering the hard-won opportunity at hand.
The hotel belonged to Yang Huai’s family, so Jiang Lin had obtained a spare key from him.
Jiang Yue, feeling uneasy, decided to go directly to Song Ling’s room and wait for him there.
At the restaurant.
Gu Dai had expected a substantive conversation, but Yang Huai’s empty chatter soon bored her. She found herself drifting off into thought.
She was beginning to doubt whether collaborating with Yang Huai had been a wise decision.
Song Ling placed a chopstick-full of food onto Gu Dai’s plate, softly suggesting, “This dish is quite good. Give it a try.”
Gu Dai thanked him but didn’t touch the food.
Song Ling’s gaze often drifted towards Gu Dai.
He hadn’t been keen on meeting with Yang Huai, but the opportunity to invite Gu Dai out had changed his mind.
Yang Huai, observing the atmosphere between Gu Dai and Song Ling, awkwardly joked, “It seems President Song and Chairwoman Gu get along well. But just eating is boring. How about a drink?”
As he finished, he signaled outside. A young girl entered with a smile, bringing them drinks. However, as she placed the drink before Song Ling, a slight smirk crossed her lips.
Gu Dai, looking at the drink, was still haunted by the previous drug incident, declined, “I won’t drink. You go ahead.”
Recalling Zhao Xuan’s advice to always watch out for Gu Dai and assist her with things she dislikes, Song Ling offered, “I’ll drink for you.”
He took the drink from in front of Gu Dai, downing it in one go, along with his own.
Yang Huai realized then that if he couldn’t tell Song Ling had feelings for Gu Dai, he must be truly foolish.
Regardless of the situation, he thought, no one could interfere with the week he had planned with Jiang Lin.
Observing Song Ling’s flushed face, Yang Huai suggested, “Mr. Song seems drunk. There’s a room in the adjacent hotel I own. You can rest there.”
Song Ling took the room card from Yang Huai, his voice cold, “No need to escort me, I can manage on my own.”
Yang Huai, concerned, insisted, “President Song, you’re drunk. Let me take you…”
Song Ling’s expression turned icy, “I’m not drunk. I’m perfectly clear-headed.” Yang Huai backed off and left.
After all, he had already drugged Song Ling, and his arrangement with Jiang Lin didn’t specifically require him to escort Song Ling back to the hotel.
Gu Dai also left the restaurant but soon turned back, irritably saying, “Go back to the hotel. If it’s too much, have Zhao Xuan pick you up. Stop following me.” Song Ling, his face flushed and breath heavy, felt an intense heat throughout his body, particularly in his lower abdomen. Seeing Gu Dai’s blurred image, he instinctively stepped forward, wanting to embrace her.
Gu Dai dodged Song Ling, watching him collapse to the ground. After a moment, she realized, “You’ve been drugged.”
Song Ling got up, his voice hoarse, “Daidai, I feel terrible. Help me, please.”
Remembering her own experience with being drugged, Gu Dai looked at him with complex emotions. She pressed a few acupoints on his body, and then dragged him towards the hotel.
Meanwhile, in the hotel.
Jiang Yue, hidden under the covers, fantasized about the impending encounter, her eyes sparkling.
Though she had been with many men, Song Ling had always been off-limits. Now, she finally had her chance.
A drunken man stumbled into the room, its door ajar, and collapsed onto the bed.
Jiang Yue exclaimed in surprise, cooing, “Brother Song Ling, you’re on top of me.”
The man grunted.
Jiang Yue’s heart raced with excitement. In the darkness, she didn’t realize the mistake, continuing, “Brother Song Ling, it’s getting late. Let me help you undress.”
The man, his head foggy, relished the soft woman beneath him, thinking his friends were amazing, as they had prepared a surprise for him in the hotel.
Jiang Yue felt the man’s fervor but was surprised by his strength, noting his body felt somewhat soft, likely due to a sedentary office lifestyle.
She resolved that once married to Song Ling, she would encourage him to exercise more. After all, she preferred muscular men..
