Сhаpter 18: Еntеring thе Wrоng Rоom
Su Manjing’s fасe was еxtremеlу dаrk. Lооking аt the nеw сlоthеs on the sоfa, she suddenly fеlt thеy wеrеn’t аррeаling аnуmore.
Didn’t Qi Мubаi saу it was a fakе marriаge? Wasn’t it all just а schеme? Тhеn what did this ring meаn!
This ring was from Ваishеng. Shе had just visited thе stоrе rеcentlу—this was а new relеase. Qi Мubai bought hеr such an eхреnsive gift. Соuld it be that he hаd devеlоped fеelings?
No, shе absоlutеlу cоuldn’t let somеthing like this haрреn. Su Manjing’s face twisted with anger.
Su Nuаnnuаn’s lips curled slightly uрwаrd. This was eхаctly the effect she wanted.
“Little sister, I asked you a question. Is it pretty?” Su Nuannuan flashed an innocent smile, excitedly pulling Su Manjing to share her joy.
At this moment, Su Nuannuan was indeed quite happy, though her happiness was built on someone else’s misery.
Su Manjing’s expression was terrible. Afraid that Su Nuannuan might notice, she forced herself to say, “It’s pretty. Congratulations, sister.”
“Thank you, little sister. I’ll have you be my bridesmaid when the time comes. Oh, by the way, what did you want to tell me earlier?”
“Today, Mom and I…” Just as Su Manjing was about to turn the tables, she heard Su Nuannuan drop a parting remark.
“Sister, I’ll come find you later. I need to go organize the things Brother Mubai bought for me first.” Adding insult to injury, Su Nuannuan cheerfully carried her things upstairs.
Su Nuannuan’s blissful appearance infuriated Su Manjing so much that she grabbed a water glass from the table, wanting to smash it, but ultimately restrained herself.
Lin Shuyao wasn’t home. On the way back earlier, her mother had already called ahead to say she was going to play mahjong with her friends. Otherwise, Su Nuannuan wouldn’t have been able to provoke Su Manjing so openly.
Burning with rage, Su Manjing ran back to her room, wanting to confront Qi Mubai for answers. However, Qi Mubai’s phone was unreachable, which infuriated her so much that she threw her phone against the wall.
The commotion next door brought a smirk to Su Nuannuan’s lips. Looking at the spoils on her bed, she cheerfully tossed everything into the safe—these items would still be worth a lot if sold.
Su Nuannuan looked at the belt she had bought. As she stared at it, Li Beixiao flashed through her mind, along with the sensation of touching his leg earlier that day.
Wow! She was tainted. Li Beixiao’s legs looked so powerful, those long legs… slurp.
Su Nuannuan covered her flushed cheeks. No, she needed to take a shower to calm down.
Su Manjing probably wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight. The young girl blew on the bubbles in her hands. Since her rebirth, this was the first time she felt such contentment.
Tomorrow, this Su Manjing would surely be unable to resist going to find Qi Mubai. Wasn’t this the perfect opportunity to gather evidence? Tonight, she would conserve her energy. Capturing Su Manjing was just around the corner.
The next day at noon
Lin Shuyao had played mahjong late into the night and had been scolded by Su Rongfeng. She still hadn’t gotten out of bed by noon!
Su Lin and Su Yun were both at the company and hadn’t returned. Su Rongfeng had also gone to the company early in the morning, so no one in the household was keeping an eye on Su Nuannuan and the others.
After lunch, Su Manjing dressed up beautifully and went out. Su Nuannuan followed shortly after.
Dressed so nicely, there was no doubt she was going to meet Qi Mubai. How exciting.
Su Manjing first booked a room at a hotel, then hurriedly left. After obtaining the room number, Su Nuannuan chose not to follow Su Manjing any further.
2699
Su Nuannuan memorized the room number, swiped the cleaning lady’s key card, opened the room door, and secretly returned it to her.Su Nuannuan quietly slipped into the room, unaware that the room number next door clearly read 2697.
As night fell, Su Nuannuan hid inside the room’s wardrobe, waiting left and right but never seeing Qi Mubai and the others arrive. What were these two up to? With passions running high, why were they still wandering around outside at a time like this?
Just as she was growing drowsy, movement finally came from the room. She heard the sound of the door opening, followed by a man’s voice. For some reason, the voice sounded familiar.
“Big brother, if Third Brother wakes up, he’ll kill me.”
He Xuan looked at the heavily drunk Li Beixiao. Wasn’t this big brother putting him in a difficult position? Asking him to find a woman for Third Brother—when Third Brother woke up, wouldn’t he want him dead?
But since he had already agreed, he could only take the risk. He just hoped that when Third Brother woke up, he would go easy on him.
Su Nuannuan waited for a long time. After hearing the room fall silent, she quietly turned on the camera, ready to record. With this evidence, bringing down Su Manjing would no longer be a problem.
Why was it so quiet? Su Nuannuan tilted her head, listening carefully, but there was no sound for a long time.
Could it be that Qi Mubai was… incapable? Last time, his voice had sounded rather weak. No wonder Su Manjing had moaned so seductively.
Su Nuannuan waited a while longer, but there was still no movement. She quietly crawled out of the wardrobe, wanting to investigate.
Strange—it seemed like there was only one person on the bed. And judging by the face beneath the tousled hair, it wasn’t Qi Mubai.
Then who was this? Could it be that Su Manjing hadn’t arranged to meet Qi Mubai? This was getting interesting.
Would Qi Mubai go mad if he found out? After building her reputation in the entertainment industry for so many years, Su Nuannuan wanted to see how Su Manjing would explain this.
Su Nuannuan studied the sleeping man. The more she looked, the more familiar he seemed. Why did he look so much like Li Beixiao?
Puzzled, Su Nuannuan leaned closer to get a better look, only to suddenly meet a pair of icy eyes.
Li Beixiao! How could it be Li Beixiao? She knew those eyes all too well. How could it be him?
Qi Mubai had turned into Li Beixiao. Su Nuannuan’s face darkened with anger—so Su Manjing had arranged to meet Li Beixiao.
Could it be that he had always liked Su Manjing? The thought made Su Nuannuan’s face turn pale as she recalled his ever-changing moods.
Could it be that in her past life, he hadn’t avenged her—he had simply hated Su Manjing for betraying him?
Su Nuannuan’s strength drained away as she met Li Beixiao’s icy gaze. It felt as if all the blood in her body had stopped flowing.
In that moment of distraction, Li Beixiao pulled her into his arms, his hands tightly gripping her waist.
“Dreaming again, my treasure. I’ve missed you so much.” Li Beixiao buried his face in Su Nuannuan’s neck, inhaling her scent with a desperate intensity.
“Li Beixiao, let me go. Who’s your treasure?” Su Nuannuan struggled fiercely.
“My treasure, my treasure,” Li Beixiao murmured to himself.
“Li Beixiao, let me go… Mmm…”
The world spun. Su Nuannuan’s hands were pinned against the pillow, her eyes wide with shock. He was kissing her.
Su Nuannuan felt a strange sense of déjà vu, as if she had been transported back to her past life. Back then, he had looked at her with the same infatuation—only she had already been a corpse.
“My treasure, you are mine.”
Li Beixiao’s eyes were bloodshot. This dream felt too real. She was so beautiful, so gentle. He wanted her so badly.”Li Beixiao, look at me clearly, I am not Su Manjing, you’ve got the wrong person.” Su Nuannuan felt something was off, but couldn’t pinpoint it at the moment.
“Li Beixiao, look at me, who am I?” Su Nuannuan pressed her forehead against his, trying to stop him from acting recklessly.
“My angel.”
“Not that, who am I? How much have you drunk?”
“Fake, how could she ever be this gentle.”
Li Beixiao murmured in disappointment. Su Nuannuan gazed into his dark eyes, which seemed filled with grievance, sorrow, and despair!
These emotions intertwined, and Su Nuannuan’s heart suddenly ached. Seeing Li Beixiao like this, she felt deeply pained.
