Chapter 264: Spiked Drink
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The next day, after school, Mei Shu called Lu Ming and explained the agreed-upon location and time with Sheng Nian.
Lu Ming couldn’t hide his excitement, almost immediately rushing home to change into an outfit he believed Sheng Nian would like. He even sprayed some cologne on his collar.
After getting himself cleaned up, he held a bouquet of roses and headed to the rendezvous.
If possible, he hoped Sheng Nian would willingly continue their relationship. He didn’t want to resort to dirty tricks unless absolutely necessary.
However, he had the necessary drugs carefully concealed in his pocket.
The pill was given to him by Lin Wei.
One pill, dissolving instantly in water without leaving any trace.
Lu Ming didn’t know what method Mei Shu had used to arrange a meeting with Sheng Nian at the bar.
It was the business time of the bar, with people coming and going inside. The place was filled with colorful lights, and groups of beautiful women walked past him. Some even came over to greet him.
Judging from Lu Ming’s well-dressed appearance, they thought he was an heir of a wealthy family.
Normally, he would have mingled with them, but today he had an important purpose. His eyes only had room for Sheng Nian.
Although he couldn’t sit together and have a drink with these women, exchanging contact information should be fine, right?
With this in mind, Lu Ming cautiously took out his phone, scanning the area to make sure Sheng Nian wasn’t in sight. He then exchanged contact information with someone.
But just as he was about to put away his phone, he keenly sensed a cold gaze.
Lu Ming suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
Slowly turning his head, he indeed saw Sheng Nian looking at him with a disdainful expression.
Lu Ming hurriedly explained, “Niannian, it’s not what you think. Those girls insisted on adding me as a friend, and I didn’t intend to keep in touch with them. It’s just that there are so many people here, and I didn’t want to be rude. I can delete them right now in front of you!”
Sheng Nian now found even looking at him repulsive. She moved her gaze away without any expression, walked past him to an empty booth, and then took out a mirror to touch up her makeup.
Lu Ming took just one look and knew that Sheng Nian must have had some issues. He didn’t delete the contacts of those girls and instead casually put his phone in his pocket, sitting down in the empty seat in front of Sheng Nian.
“Niannian, you look so beautiful today. Why did you suddenly come here? Are you meeting some friends?” he asked.
Sheng Nian continued to apply bright lipstick in front of the mirror and replied, “Does it concern you?”
Lu Ming clenched his fist on his knee tightly and asked, “Are you here to meet other men?”
Sheng Nian smirked and raised her lips, “Lu Ming, we’re already divorced. You wouldn’t forbid me from having a boyfriend, would you? Why are you asking so many questions? What does it have to do with you?”
Lu Ming pursed his lips, with half of his face hidden in the shadow of the lights.
Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on his lips. “Is that so? Then I wish you success tonight!”
With that, he beckoned a waiter and ordered the best red wine in the bar. He poured a glass for Sheng Nian and placed it in front of her. “Niannian, no matter what, we were once a married couple. Even if I made mistakes, I hope we can part on good terms. How about I raise this glass to you, and then we can go our separate ways without interfering in each other’s lives? Consider it my wish for your future happiness!”
Sheng Nian sneered. If she hadn’t been prepped by Mei Shu and hadn’t seen Lu Ming sneak a pill into her drink earlier, she might have actually believed that Lu Ming would no longer bother her.
This man was truly despicable.
“All right.” Sheng Nian took the wine glass and clinked it with his, then downed the entire glass. “Then I also wish you endless romantic opportunities and a joyful life.”
A glimmer of expectation flashed in Lu Ming’s eyes. “Great, Niannian, I’m so happy to hear you say that.”
He wanted good fortune with women, but he also wanted Sheng Nian to never be able to leave him!
After obtaining everything from the Sheng family, he would suppress her under him, possess her in the name of her only husband, and then reveal all the truths to her.
What other method could be more satisfying than this?
Lu Ming couldn’t wait to see the shocked expression on Sheng Nian’s face when she regained her senses.
The pill that Lin Wei had given him was not a cheap, low-quality drug but an expensive, high-end date-rape drug. It took effect instantly, and its action was rapid, making it difficult to detect afterward.
Even if Sheng Nian accused him of rape, he could easily claim it was consensual.
As the daughter of the Sheng family, she naturally wouldn’t want this matter to become public. For the sake of her reputation, she would have no choice but to submit to him and spend her life with him!
“Hmm… Why do I suddenly feel a bit dizzy?” Sheng Nian held her forehead, struggling to stay upright on the table.
Lu Ming looked concerned.. “Are you drunk? Do you want me to help you upstairs to rest?”
