Chapter 400: Chapter 400: Knocked Out
Shen Ci told himself to listen to ng Chuyue in everything.
He had indeed always demanded that of himself.
However, he progressively moved from being slightly unhappy to very unhappy.
As for suspecting that ng Chuyue didn’t love him?
He did not.
ng Chuyue had always treated him well, even revealing the secret of “space” to him. How could she do that if she didn’t love him?
Yet, he found ng Chuyue’s decision to postpone their wedding for nearly a year due to “superstitious beliefs” sowhat irrational.
He couldn’t bring himself to resent her, but felt a void of desolation inside.
If ng Chuyue had continued to treat him as before, he might have felt slightly better.
However, Han Zheng worried that Shen Ci, being coaxed by soft-heartedness, would agree to get married this year, which could actually bring a major disaster. He moved a bunch of people back to dicinal Food Hall and took the opportunity to arrange ng Chuyue and Zhao Xiaoxin in one bedroom, and Shen Ci and Han Muyang in another.
And the original room of Han Muyang and Zhao Xiaoxin was preemptively turned into a storage room by him…
Although this was Han Zheng’s initiative, because the chances of being alone with ng Chuyue decreased, and even when they t, she was no longer as warm and proactive as before, Shen Ci’s anxiety only grew.
Whenever there was a chance to be alone, he kissed ng Chuyue fiercely, as if that could fill the panic in his heart.
And the more he did this, the more ng Chuyue, fearful of being seen, resisted.
The atmosphere between them grew increasingly strained.
The intimacy they once shared was gone.
ng Chuyue thought Shen Ci had suddenly beco distant because he understood her feelings.
Shen Ci, however, wanted to confront ng Chuyue to clarify things but was afraid of receiving an answer he couldn’t bear. Thus, he was tornted by uncertainty and felt utterly distraught.
Finally, one evening after school, he ran alone to the nearby riverbank to drink, not heading back until he was drunk.
Usually, whenever ng Chuyue couldn’t find Shen Ci, unless Erhu was not with her, she would send him to look.
Today was no exception.
Erhu happened to be around.
Just as Shen Ci sat on the riverbank and raised the bottle, Erhu spotted him.
Shen Ci was so unhappy that he was secretly drinking?
Erhu was shocked and hurried to tell ng Chuyue.
ng Chuyue was also surprised, and then quickly understood.
She had forgotten that Shen Ci was a staunch materialist and couldn’t understand her idealism.
She sighed and decided to find him and comfort him.
But a client arrived unexpectedly, requesting her to select a dicinal diet, which delayed her, and by the ti she arrived, Shen Ci was gone.
Just as ng Chuyue was about to summon Erhu to help search, Erhu teleported back gleefully and told her,
“Hehe, your Ah Ci has been picked up by Li Fangwei.”
“Impossible!” ng Chuyue instinctively denied it. Shen Ci wasn’t dead drunk, he’s not that foolish.
Erhu quickly abandoned his teasing deanor and seriously said, “Really, he’s in the black Jetta ahead, driven by Li Fangwei, with Shen Ci passed out in the back seat.”
“Then he wasn’t rely drunk; he must have been knocked out by Li Fangwei.”
As ng Chuyue responded to Erhu, she looked around, found a secluded spot, and summoned a black Jetta from her space, instructing Erhu to lead the way.
Erhu quickly pointed out the way.
The vehicle driven by Li Fangwei ahead was moving slowly.
ng Chuyue caught up with her after a short while.
However, she didn’t try to stop the car and demand the person; she wanted to see where Li Fangwei would take Shen Ci.
Li Fangwei, in fact, was Lin Fangwei who didn’t dare take Shen Ci ho.
Nor dared to take him to a hotel.
Both of them being celebrities in Imperial, being seen in such a state would cause a scandal.
People would say she had plotted against Shen Ci.
Although it was true that she had plotted against him.
While Shen Ci had been drunk and dazed just now, he was still cautious and didn’t engage with her.
It was she who had struck several blows to the back of Shen Ci’s neck.
