Chapter 14

Li Yan stode out of the private lounge, and before he left, he said coldly, “That’s all for our business discussion today. President Chen, you’ll have to be responsible for your actions.”

President Chen was horrified. These words had practically sent him straight to hell. They indicated how tough his life in the business world was going to be in the future. He did not understand what he had done to offend this extremely powerful man.

Li Yan stopped when he reached the doorway. He turned and looked at Qiao Mu. “You don’t want to stay here and continue drinking, do you?”

Qiao Mu regained her senses, and she quickly followed Li Yan.

She felt dizzy the moment she stepped out of the doorway. She was starting to get drunk.

Qiao Mu did not know if Li Yan recognized her, but her instincts told her that she must take the opportunity to flee the scene. Hence, after exiting the private lounge, Qiao Mu went toward the left when she saw that Li Yan was taking a right turn.

“Where are you going?” A husky voice rang out from behind her. Qiao Mu raised her head and saw that Li Yan was standing beside her.

His eyes were narrowed. “Were you going to leave without saying a thing? I’ve just helped you out. Shouldn’t you thank me?”

His head was lowered as he looked at her, and there was an arrogant expression on his face. He was making it sound as though he had done an extremely good deed. ‘Since he intended to help me, why didn’t he do it in the beginning? Why did he have to wait until I’ve drank so much whisky to act?’

She snorted and raised her head to look at him. “I’ve not even blamed you for ruining my business yet! If it wasn’t for you, I would have been able to reach my sales target and get a handsome commision today…”

Li Yan’s expression turned dark. He pressed her against the wall and grabbed her chin. “Do you need money that much? Isn’t the Qiao family treating you well? Why do you have to resort to earning money at this kind of place?”

‘The Qiao family…’

Qiao Mu had a sudden realization. As it seemed, he recognized her, or he would not have cared about whatever was happening to her.

This was how the world worked. The more you did not want something to happen, the more it would come true.

Qiao Mu bit her lower lip and tried to fight the dizziness. She pretended to be clueless. “What are you saying? Why don’t I understand what you’re saying?”

Li Yan narrowed his dark orbs. “Qiao Mu, don’t bother trying to outwit me.”

His voice was husky, and he was obviously giving her a warning. Qiao Mu wanted to pretend to be clueless until the end, but she no longer dared to do so.

She chuckled and massaged her temples. She then pretended to have a sudden realization. “Oh, uncle, it’s you! Sorry for not being able to recognize you just now, I’m a little drunk…”

She was not lying when she said that she was drunk. She was feeling the full effects of the alcohol now, and she felt like she was floating. She was trying her best to hold on to her last strand of consciousness.

Li Yan’s expression was dark. ‘Can she stop calling me “uncle”!?’

It was like she was trying to distance herself from him.

“Why are you working here? Do you need money?”

“No, I’m actually here to get some life experiences.”

‘To get some life experiences?’

Li Yan’s expression immediately turned cold. ‘What kind of life experiences does she want? The experience of almost getting molested by a pervert?’

He narrowed his eyes and wrapped an arm around her waist. She was taken aback as he suddenly brought his lips to hers. He sucked her lips and stuck his tongue into her mouth. He then twirled his tongue around hers.

Qiao Mu sucked in a sharp breath, and she was so shocked that she was unable to react.

‘Is he kissing me!?’

Qiao Mu was blushing as she glared at the handsome face before her. She opened her mouth and bit his lower lip with force.

Li Yan merely froze for a moment before kissing her even more passionately, as if he was punishing her for fighting back.

His breath was hot against her skin, and it was as if the heat was exacerbating the effects of the alcohol. Qiao Mu could barely breathe. The moment Li Yan let go of her, she shouted furiously, “Li Yan, you’re an asshole!”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
