"Seventh Master, I know I was wrong, can I not drink it?" Li Xiyan swallowed, asking timidly.
This medicine was prepared for her by her mother. To achieve her goal, she had added a particularly large amount, making the effect incredibly potent. Half a cup would likely render a person disoriented, leaving only the body's most primal instincts...
Qin Beiting didn't bother with pleasantries. He picked up the gun and pointed it at her.
Seeing the dark muzzle pointed at her again, Li Xiyan, terrified, had no choice but to comply.
"I'll drink it! I'll drink it!" Da Feng Novel Network.
She slowly walked to the coffee table, picked up a cup, poured half a cup, and drank it down as if facing death.
Seeing this, Qin Beiting glanced at the time, estimating that Yu He should be back. He suppressed the itching on his body, picked up the remaining half cup of laced water, and drank it down.
Li Xiyan was shocked!
He actually drank it!!
At this moment, the effects of the drug had already begun to take hold in her body. She felt a burning heat all over and began to tear at her clothes, moving closer to Qin Beiting...
—
In the banquet hall outside.
Madam Li checked the time, then glanced at the closed door of the lounge. Seeing that Li Xiyan had been inside for so long without coming out, she assumed her plan had succeeded!
She had to help her daughter.
If Xiyan married Qin Beiting, the Qin family would become their backing. With this support, and Qin Beiting being Li Sichen's arch-rival, Xiyan could compete with Li Sichen for the inheritance of the Li family.
In the future, control of the Li family would not fall into the hands of Li Sichen, that illegitimate son.
Thinking this, Madam Li deliberately led Li Haiyang and a group of guests towards the lounge.
"Mmmph... Seventh Master... gently, ah..."
As the crowd approached the lounge, they heard Li Xiyan's lewd moans and a man's rough gasps coming from the slightly ajar door. Everyone present showed embarrassed expressions and whispered among themselves.
"Is that Seventh Master Qin and Miss Li inside?"
"Doesn't Seventh Master Qin already have a girlfriend? How can he be so promiscuous, is he worthy of the Nameless Divine Doctor!"
"It shouldn't be Seventh Master Qin. Wasn't he with the Nameless Divine Doctor just now?"
"They entered the lounge earlier, but the Nameless Divine Doctor left with Young Master Chen not long after."
"So Seventh Master Qin is still inside, with Miss Li."
"That lewd voice must be Miss Li. I didn't expect her to be so open."
"..."
Madam Li listened to the guests' discussions. Although the comments were unpleasant and detrimental to Li Xiyan's reputation, her objective of making people believe Qin Beiting and Li Xiyan were involved had been achieved.
Next, she would see how to force Qin Beiting to publicly promise to marry Li Xiyan.
Li Haiyang's face was as dark as night. His birthday banquet had already been embarrassing enough with his son having dyed his hair green and openly interfering in other people's relationships. He hadn't expected his daughter to be even more direct, putting on such a scandalous show in public!
The dignity of his Li family was being utterly disgraced by them!
Angrily, Li Haiyang strode forward and kicked open the ajar lounge door with a "bang."
Instantly, the intimate scene inside was exposed to everyone's eyes. A balding, greasy-looking man with a protruding belly was straddling Li Xiyan, the two of them entwined like two rutting dogs.
The kicked-open door, with a "bang," startled the bald man. He turned his head and saw Li Haiyang and Madam Li, whose faces were as black as Bao Gong, and the dozens of eyes behind them. He was instantly terrified.
"Mr. Li, it, it was Miss Li who seduced me first."
He immediately let go of Li Xiyan. However, Li Xiyan was already dazed by the drug and completely unaware of the people outside. She clung to him again, hugging him, "Don't go, I want more..."
Seeing this, Madam Li froze as if struck by lightning. Where was Qin Beiting?!
"Miss Li looks young and pure, but I didn't expect her to be so indiscreet."
"This is too wild, no different from a hostess in a nightclub."
"The upbringing of the Li family is too embarrassing for the prestigious families of the capital."
"The rot starts at the top. The father keeps a mistress and has illegitimate children, and the mother climbed her way up back then. If not for the substantial assets left by Old Master Li, the Li family would probably have been squandered long ago."
"..."
The guests buzzed with gossip. At this moment, a large group of media reporters surged out of the elevator, taking photos frantically.
That night, the blurred photos of the Li family's daughter engaging in illicit affairs in public made the gossip entertainment headlines.
Li Sichen, sitting in the underground parking lot, saw the news, a smile curling his lips, his eyes showing unconcealed excitement. He laughed with a particularly enchanting air.
Meanwhile.
Chen Dong parked the car in the courtyard of Physician Yu's clinic. He got out and opened the rear passenger door, saying to the person inside, "Brother Ting, Miss Yu, we're here."
In the back seat, Qin Beiting was holding Yu He, burying his head in her shoulder and nuzzling her restlessly.
His face was unnaturally flushed, his eyes were hazy, and the collar of his shirt was slightly open, revealing his slender neck and sharp collarbones, which were dotted with receding red allergic marks, giving him a flushed appearance.
Yu He felt uncomfortable with his nuzzling. They had been apart for a while and hadn't been intimate. This man knew her body's sensitive points too well, making her feel restless.
She pushed Qin Beiting, signaling him to get up, "We're here, get up. Chen Dong, help him inside."
Chen Dong leaned in, struggled to help Qin Beiting out of the car, and was about to escort him into the east wing when Qin Beiting suddenly stopped.
He looked dazedly at the east wing for a moment, then said, "No, this isn't my home. My home isn't here."
He then forcibly turned around and happened to see Yu He getting out of the car. He pushed Chen Dong away and staggered towards Yu He, "Baby, this isn't my home, let's go home."
Yu He had intended to get out of the car and leave, but seeing his unsteady steps, she quickly reached out to steady him, fearing he would fall. Unexpectedly, he completely lunged at her, clinging to her like a large dog.
Yu He took two steps back before regaining her balance. Qin Beiting usually looked thin in his clothes, but he had plenty of muscle when undressed, and he wasn't light. With him collapsing on her like that, it was indeed difficult for her to hold him.
Chen Dong quickly came to help, but as soon as he touched Qin Beiting, he was pushed away.
"Don't touch me, baby, let's go home." Qin Beiting said, pulling Yu He in another direction, looking at the west wing.
Yu He sighed, telling Chen Dong to go back first. Qin Beiting's condition was complicated now, with allergies and Chinese medicine.
She had already given Qin Beiting acupuncture on the way to suppress the allergic reaction, but the effect of the medicine was a bit troublesome.
Yu He, struggling, helped Qin Beiting open the door to the west wing. Qin Beiting, who had been holding back all the way, couldn't resist any longer and lowered his head to kiss her.
This kiss instantly ignited the heat Yu He had felt building up throughout their journey.
Kissing, they stumbled into the room and fell onto the bed...
