Chapter 99: Rain On His Parade
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Chu Liyuan carried Jian Dan as he tried to find a room to get it on with this lass right there and then. However, he did not expect two people to suddenly appear out of nowhere and rain on his parade…
“The annual dinner is still ongoing. Where are you off to?”
Jihao and Qianqian suddenly appeared. Jihao looked at the two of them with a mischievous smile…
“Is Jian Dan injured? She can’t even walk? You need to carry her?”
The devilish Jihao asked despite knowing the answer.
Jian Dan—who was slung over Chu Liyuan’s shoulder—blushed in embarrassment.
“Uncle, put me down.”
Jian Dan struggled to get off Chu Liyuan’s shoulder.
Chu Liyuan stared daggers at the smirking Ling Jihao as he slowly put Jian Dan back on the ground.
“Hehe… Why are you guys here?” Jian Dan smiled awkwardly.
“Ow! I accidentally sprained my ankle just now!”
Jian Dan pretended that her leg was hurting and held onto Chu Liyuan’s arm.
It would be such a waste of this lass’ acting skills if she did not join showbiz.
Chu Liyuan scrutinized Jian Dan.
Jian Dan looked at Chu Liyuan and signaled him with her eyes.
“Yes! That’s right!” Chu Liyuan said as he looked at Jian Dan.
Pfft! This couple really knew how to play along!
“I see! Is it serious? Do you want to go to the hospital?”
Jihao pretended to be concerned as he took a step forward…
“It’s alright, it’s alright. Uncle made a mountain out of a molehill. It’s not serious! Look…”
She moved her ankle…
“Since you’re alright, don’t stand here. Hurry up and go back!”
Jihao wanted to tease Chu Liyuan the moment he found an opportunity. After all, such an opportunity was not common.
No matter where Chu Liyuan went, he was the center of attention. Hence, the moment Chu Liyuan returned, he attracted everyone’s attention…
Jian Dan gazed at Chu Liyuan in a daze. She felt that the spotlight followed Chu Liyuan wherever he went. Everything around him would be blocked off!
Chu Liyuan looked at Jian Dan staring at him in a daze. The corners of his lips curled up. He held Jian Dan’s hand and slowly walked in.
Jian Dan felt the warmth of Chu Liyuan’s palm on her hand; it was very warm.
Uncle was holding her hand in public.
Jian Dan felt many gazes on her. That feeling was different from when she was dancing just now. Although she felt traces of envy, jealousy, and hatred at that time… But now, there seemed to be only hatred left.
This was Qin Corporation’s annual dinner. Other than the head office, there were also managers and senior management from other branches. In that case, wouldn’t the entire company know?
Jian Dan recalled what Mengmeng had said to her in the bridal shop: For someone like Chu Liyuan, he can only tell everyone that you’re his woman after your wedding.
Jian Dan felt that her face was very hot. She casually picked up a glass of something on the table and drank it in one gulp…
Wdiv/ What is this? It tastes so bad!
Jian Dan’s little face scrunched up.
“What’s wrong?” Chu Liyuan asked gently when he noticed Jian Dan’s face.
“Huh? Erm… Erm… Erm…” Jian Dan was stunned at first and quickly shook her head.
What Jian Dan did not know was that what she had just drunk was whiskey. It was very high-proof alcohol, and would make people drunk unknowingly.
“Mr. Chu, Mr. Fang from Shangyuan Real Estate is here.”
Li Jing came over and said to Chu Liyuan.
Qin Corporation had many projects that needed collaboration with Shangyuan Real Estate next year, so…
“Got it. Jian Jian, you…”
“Uncle, go ahead! I’m a little hungry. I’ll go eat something.”
“Don’t run around! Wait for me to come back.”
“Okay.”
After Chu Liyuan and Li Jing left, Jian Dan took a plate and went to the buffet area to eat.
Jian Dan looked at the greasy drumsticks and swallowed hard. Just as she was about to take one, she suddenly hesitated…
Would she become fat after eating so much? If she became fat, would Uncle despise her?
Jian Dan had never thought of this problem before today!
But today, she realized that there were so many wolves and cougars surrounding Chu Liyuan, eyeing him covetously. She couldn’t let her guard down!
In the end, Jian Dan only chose some salad with vegetables and fruits. She did not even take her favorite cake!
Just like that, she looked at the table full of meat as she stuffed the vegetables into her mouth, consoling herself with her imagination.
As she ate, Jian Dan felt her head starting to get dizzy for some reason.
What was going on? Just because she didn’t eat meat? She was fainting from hunger?
She was getting increasingly dizzy! What was going on… She could not even stand properly.
Jian Dan staggered and fell into someone’s arms.
“Little Jian Dan, are you alright?!”
Fortunately, he happened to be around. Otherwise, Jian Dan would definitely fall flat on her face.
“Xiaoyang?”
Jian Dan’s consciousness was already starting to become a little blurry. Her eyes were also blurry, and her cheeks were already as red as tomatoes.
Xiaoyang took a whiff… “Have you been drinking??”
Little Jian Dan reeked of alcohol. She was clearly drunk!
“I can’t drink! Uncle doesn’t allow me to drink!”
It was said that one would still have some degree of consciousness even when intoxicated. Jian Dan remembered what Chu Liyuan had said to her.
“Mmm, don’t mess with me! Who are you? I’m a married woman. My husband is a very powerful person.”
“If he sees you, you’re done for.”
“How much did you drink?!”
Jian Dan was already spouting nonsense in a daze.
Other than drinking a glass of wine the day she found out that Zhong Tianhao had cheated on her, Jian Dan had not drunk a drop of alcohol since then!
That was half a glass of whiskey just now.. How could Jian Dan not be drunk?!
