Ji Jingchen directly picked up the bottle and gulped down the rest. The savory and spicy taste of alcohol quickly flowed into his stomach. Ji Jingchen frowned. More than half of the bottle of wine had entered his stomach.
Ji Jingchen’s eyes were bloodshot, and there was a strong smell of alcohol in his breath. He put down the bottle, and his stomach was burning with pain. Ji Jingchen immediately stood up and walked out, and Gu Xingchen immediately followed behind him.
…
It was already late at night. Du Jiuyuan heated a glass of milk for herself. Then, she sat on the carpet and read the latest edition of a fashion magazine.
The magazine was full of major luxury brands and their new products that were trending now. Most celebrities had already endorsed their preferred clothing brands. When they attended public events, they usually collaborated with the event’s host to promote their brands, creating commercial value for the brand.
She was indulged in the magazines when the doorbell suddenly rang. It was so late at night. Who could be visiting at this hour?
Du Jiuyuan saw Gu Xingchen’s face through the peephole on the door and opened the door hesitantly. She was stunned when she opened the door because next to Gu Xingchen was Ji Jingchen, who reeked alcohol.
“It’s so late at night. What are you guys doing here?”
Gu Xingchen pushed Ji Jingchen toward Du Jiuyuan. The drunk man was already losing his balance.
“CEO Ji was drinking too much earlier. I was afraid that Madam Ji would take advantage of this situation. So I’ll have to trouble you to take care of him. I’m needed back in the Bureau, so I’ll take my leave first.”
Gu Xingchen babbled quickly, but she could hear his every word clearly. After he finished speaking, Gu Xingchen did not give Du Jiuyuan the chance to reject him, and he immediately left.
Du Jiuyuan instinctively held Ji Jingchen, but before she could react, Gu Xingchen had already disappeared without a trace. Ji Jingchen, who reeked of alcohol, leaned on Du Jiuyuan’s body as if he was asleep.
“Ji Jingchen, CEO Ji...” Du Jiuyuan called out tentatively, “I know you don’t drink, stop acting in front of me.”
The man leaning on her did not react at all. Du Jiuyuan turned her head and realized that Ji Jingchen was like a cooked lobster. He was red all over, and his breath smelled like alcohol— it seemed like he was really drunk!
Gu Xingchen gave Ji Jingchen a perfect reason. Only Madam Ji was at the Ji family home now. If Ji Jingchen fell into her hands in this state, she could have done evil things to him.
Du Jiuyuan laboriously helped Ji Jingchen to the sofa and picked up her phone to call Jiang Cheng, but he did not pick up. She immediately called Peter, but no one picked up either. Du Jiuyuan even suspected that they had all conspired to put on a show.
“Ji Jingchen, wake up!” Du Jiuyuan called out tentatively again.
The man did not respond. His breathing was calm, and he lay peacefully on the couch. Du Jiuyuan got up and was about to get him a blanket when the man lying on the couch suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.
“I knew it! You rascals conspired to put on a show!” Ji Jingchen pulled Du Jiuyuan into his arms without any warning.
“Yuanyuan, why?” Ji Jingchen’s tone was a little helpless and a little wronged.
Perhaps it was the alcohol. Ji Jingchen did not have his usual imposing manner. He was like a child who had been wronged.
“If you need money, you can just tell me. Why did you sell me out for ten million yuan?” Ji Jingchen saw that Du Jiuyuan did not struggle and continued to speak.
“I... I didn’t sell you out. I just sold your phone number,” Du Jiuyuan pursed her lips and said.
Ji Jingchen suddenly flipped over, and the two of them instantly switched positions. Du Jiuyuan was lying on the couch, and Ji Jingchen was on top of her. The immense pressure almost suffocated Du Jiuyuan.
“Get up first and listen to me.” Du Jiuyuan pushed hard, but he didn’t budge.
Ji Jingchen lowered his head. His bloodshot eyes looked down at Du Jiuyuan and said, “If you want money, I can give it to you. Tell me how much you want, and I’ll give it to you.”
With that, Ji Jingchen took advantage of the alcohol influence to get close to Du Jiuyuan’s lips. Du Jiuyuan turned her head away in time, and Ji Jingchen got closer again.
Slap!
Du Jiuyuan couldn’t avoid it, so she slapped Ji Jingchen on the face. Ji Jingchen was stunned.
“Ji Jingchen, stop acting!” Du Jiuyuan took the opportunity to push him away and got up to tidy up her clothes.
Ji Jingchen knelt on one knee with a bang, maintaining this position without moving. Du Jiuyuan realized that something was wrong and wanted to help him up.
“Ji Jingchen...”
“Keep your hands off me!” Ji Jingchen remained motionless in this position, and the atmosphere became extremely awkward.
He was breathing rapidly, and his deep eyes were bloodshot.. Sweat dripped down his forehead.
