Pei Ge was taken aback when she entered the deluxe couple suite Tang Xiaoyu had booked.
This suite…
The fiery red curtains, the rose petals on the floor, and the transparent bathroom… Except for the missing strong aromatic scent, its interior decoration was identical to that room that night…
Image of Ji Ziming's handsome yet arrogantly cold face involuntarily surfaced in her mind.
"Hmph, hmph, hmph. Little pretty woman, you are mine tonight!"
Pei Ge was about to revisit that beautiful memory when a rather devilish voice pulled her back to the present.
Coming out of her reverie, she was greeted by Tang Xiaoyu's devious smile as she flung herself toward her.
"Even if you scream your lungs out, no one can save you from me; you must stay obedient to this Master here for you to be able to eat savory food!" Tang Xiaoyu laughed eerily as she flung herself onto her.
Pei Ge took cue from her improper behavior and happily acted along. "Yes, Master. I'm all yours tonight."
"Come drink with Master here."
She held the bottle in one hand and pulled Pei Ge with the other as they laughed all the way to the bar counter.
Since she booked a luxury suite, a mini bar counter was in it.
Once they were comfortably settled on their seats at the bar, Tang Xiaoyu took out two wine glasses and placed them on the countertop.
She then opened the bottle with much ease and practice.
ραпdα Йᴏνê|(сòm) "Come drink." She drank heavily the moment she filled her glass to the brim.
Seeing the way that she downed her drink, Pei Ge somehow felt that something was weighing heavily on her best friend.
"I've already finished my cup, so why haven't you drunk yours yet?" Tang Xiaoyu pouted once she realized that Pei Ge had not drunk even a drop of her wine even after she had finished hers.
She muttered, "They say, 'One will drink in one shot when they have strong feelings'; it seems you don't have strong feelings for me!"
Pei Ge immediately drank the wine in one gulp.
"I've finished my drink. My feelings are deep enough now, right?" She arched an eyebrow as she overturned her cup and then placed it on the table.
"Good girl! This is the Ge Ge that I know! Continue drinking! Tonight, we shan't sleep without getting drunk!" She proceeded to refill Pei Ge's glass after saying this.
While the two were drinking themselves into a stupor, Du Wen, who was currently chauffeuring a certain CEO, was not feeling very relaxed or at ease in the driver's seat.
He felt that he was really going to die at his big boss's hands.
Ever since his boss received a phone call, he had driven at such a breakneck speed and violated three traffic rules in the process.
"How much longer?"
The cold voice from the back seat seemed like a voice from hell, and Du Wen could only smile bitterly at the sound. "CEO Ji, there is half an hour left."
"Faster; we must arrive at Vista within 20 minutes." His voice was frostier than usual and betrayed an unusual sense of urgency.
Du Wen's heart collapsed at his order.
His inner self was bellowing, Twenty minutes?! And it must be 'within' to boot! Boss, you're thinking that I'm flying a plane and not driving a car, aren't you?!
We're not riding a sports car or a racing car; this is just a private car with top safety functions! Most importantly, we're not in a racing track but in an ordinary highway in Beijing with frequent traffic jams!
Nonetheless, although he had a lot of complaints, he still sped up under Ji Ziming's cold gaze.
Alright, that's the fourth red light I went through without stopping. It's surely another record! Ying, ying, ying…
Ji Ziming observed the quickly passing scenery outside the car window but still found their speed to be very slow.
His expression was like a dark cloud on a stormy day. It was very scary.
That damn foolish woman! He was merely gone for a few days and she dared go to a bar behind his back! She even checked in to a couple suite with another man!
With rage-filled eyes, he tightly gripped the phone in his hand.
He had never thought that his arrival back to the country would be greeted by this explosive news.
He had just gotten off his flight when Mu Heng called to inform him that Pei Ge was in the bar with someone.
He was initially angry when he first received the news, but when he learned that Pei Ge had gotten drunk and was brought into a couple suite, his anger faded and only worry remained. He just wished to quickly appear in front of her and properly lecture that damn, stupid woman.
However, upon calming down, he realized that with Mu Heng around, she would not be in any harm's way.
Thus, the fury in his heart reignited again, and his mind began to be filled with wild thoughts.
Does that damn, stupid woman have no sense of safety at all?! If Mu Heng weren't at Bar Vista or hadn't spotted her, then she…
He recalled that night that they had encountered each other at the bar.
The anger in his heart burned further.
That damn woman! Is she so unguarded that any man can take her away?!
That damn, foolish woman should be locked up!
…
After she filled her stomach with wine, Pei Ge felt a little dizzy, but… the sight of the slightly drunk Tang Xiaoyu sobered her up.
Xiaoyu seems to have some matters of the heart weighing heavily on her.
"Let's keep drinking!" Tang Xiaoyu grinned as she drunkenly leaned on her.
"Xiaoyu, do you have something you are unhappy about?" she asked seriously as she placed her glass down and looked into her best friend's eyes.
While Tang Xiaoyu seemed genuinely happy, she still felt a sense of wrongness in her.
"What unhappy things will I have? I only feel happiness right now since I get to see you again!" she replied happily. She laughingly placed her glass down and held Pei Ge's cheek.
Pei Ge grabbed her palm and pushed it away as she lightly asked, "I feel that you are hiding something from me."
Tang Xiaoyu, who was slightly swaying, stiffened at that and did not speak.
Her silence made Pei Ge frown. Thinking about it, she gently asked, "Is this because of that boyfriend you've mentioned before?"
The only matter she could think of that would trouble her best friend was that boyfriend.
After all, that boyfriend was chased by her good friend for a very long time.
"Some boyfriend is that!"
