Chapter 301: Chapter 301

After saying this, when Leng Mochen found out that Li Si had secretly switched the drinks to avoid trouble, he was very angry and stopped the car intending to give her a proper lesson.

Seeing the sudden stop, Li Si looked at him helplessly, "What are you doing?"

"What do you think? How could you be so careless! No, I have to give you a small punishment!" After saying that, Leng Mochen leaned over and gently bit her cheek before letting go.

Li Si covered her bitten cheek, feeling wronged, and protested relentlessly, "You really hurt me with your bite!"

Seeing that she was genuinely upset, Leng Mochen realized he might have gone too far. He quickly pulled her into his arms and softly coaxed her, "Do you know why I’m angry?"

With her eyes rimmed in red, Li Si shook her head pitifully. She wasn’t a mind reader, how could she know what he was thinking?

He sighed helplessly, "What if there was something wrong with her drink too? What would you do if you got caught?"

Sometimes, this little girl could really make him feel helpless. He couldn’t scold or criticize her—this time she had space for cover, but what if something had gone wrong? Wouldn’t she have been in trouble?

Li Si saw the worry and fear in Leng Mochen’s eyes. She realized belatedly that she had been a bit rash.

She quickly explained patiently, "I planned to find an opportunity to leave, but then I thought, Ling Wei was so obviously up to no good. I avoided it this time, but what about next time?

So, I decided to stay alert and play along with her to see what she was really up to. If it was just a small prank, I could let it slide. I didn’t expect her to be so malicious, so she brought it upon herself, and I feel no guilt about it."

Leng Mochen ran his fingers through her long hair, "Next time something happens, you’re not allowed to risk yourself, understood?"

This time, he was complacent; he hadn’t expected Ling Wei to pull such a thing. He had thought at most she would just say a few snide words. Google seaʀᴄh novèlfire.net

He had specifically asked Liu Xiaole to keep an eye on Li Si, but he didn’t expect something to happen.

Li Si snuggled into his arms, taking in his familiar scent, and softly said, "I’ll listen to you! Hubby!"

Elsewhere, at the hospital, the doctor had given Ling Wei a sedative and conducted a blood test, but the results showed nothing unusual.

Everyone whispered among themselves but couldn’t figure anything out.

It wasn’t until Ling Wei’s parents arrived that they heard everyone’s detailed account of the incident, and Mrs. Ling immediately started crying. Xu Yi and Du Juan couldn’t do anything but offer a few words of comfort before leaving.

On their way back, the two speculated on Ling Wei’s unusual behavior and eventually concluded she might have done such an outrageous thing due to recent mental stress.

Ling Wei only woke up groggily the next morning. After hearing part of the situation from her parents, she was stunned!

How could it be possible? Clearly, Li Si drank that wine!

The woman had said that the drug was very potent, that shortly after consumption, it would cause hallucinations and force the person to strip and dance!

Logically, Li Si should have been the one stripping, and she should have been the one embarrassed in public!

Then why was she the one who ended up embarrassed?

Ling Wei ended up screaming and grabbing her hair. Mrs. Ling quickly pressed the bell for the nurse, but before the doctor and nurse arrived, Ling Wei fainted again as she couldn’t recall exactly what she had done at the time, overwhelmed by the stress.

When she woke up again, her emotions were much more stable—since the event had already occurred, she had to quickly find a way to remedy the situation. The most important thing now was to get in touch with that woman.

Ling Wei made up an excuse to Mrs. Ling, saying she didn’t know what happened. She only had some drinks with classmates, and maybe someone spiked her drink.

This enraged Mrs. Ling, who began ranting about finding the person who drugged her daughter and insisted on investigating each classmate from the day before to see who was so despicable.

Ling Wei, looking a bit unnatural, convinced Mrs. Ling to leave and buy her something to eat. She quickly found her phone and called that woman.

She needed to ask exactly what was wrong with the drug.

It took a while for the other end to answer, and a gentle female voice came through, "How did it go?"

"I’m asking you, what exactly was that drug you gave me? Why was it I who ended up embarrassed?" Ling Wei suppressed her anger, thinking she had to get a clear answer. If the other woman couldn’t give her one, she wouldn’t let her get away with it.

"What? Li Si didn’t make a scene?" The voice on the other end seemed a bit disbelieving.

Ling Wei frowned, "Tell me, does your drug work or not?"

"Why wouldn’t it work? You were embarrassed? Did you strip?"

Gritting her teeth, Ling Wei replied, "Yes! That’s why I want to ask you why!"

A cold chuckle came from the other end, "How dare you ask me? You couldn’t handle such a simple task! You’re really stupid. Clearly, the drink was swapped by Li Si, and you accidentally fell for it!"

"You! Let me tell you, if you push me too far, there won’t be any good outcome for you!"

"Tch! What’s the point of saying these harsh words to me? You should think hard about how you’ll show your face in the future! Fool!" After saying this, there was a click, and the call was disconnected.

Furious, Ling Wei hurled her phone to the floor, where the battery immediately separated from it.

Still unsatisfied, she barefooted the floor, smashing the hospital room into a complete mess. By the time Mrs. Ling returned, she found her daughter had been forcibly sedated by the doctor and nurse and was again deeply asleep.

Mrs. Ling tearfully looked at her daughter lying in the hospital bed. She had just seen the news about the sudden incident at the maze entrance last night, which caused traffic chaos.

Although her daughter’s image had been pixelated, she heard from other patients that an unpixelated version could be found online.

At that moment, Mrs. Ling was utterly flustered and at a loss for words for when Ling Wei woke up.

It was as if her daughter’s life had been ruined!

Meanwhile, the woman who hung up the call was now in the bathroom, removing the SIM card from her phone and flushing it down the toilet. She then calmly washed her hands in the luxurious sink, grinning darkly at her reflection. Since when did Li Si become so clever and cautious?

But if one tactic fails, another will come. She simply didn’t believe Li Si could get lucky forever.

A gentle male voice urged softly from outside, "Honey! Are you done? Be careful!"

The woman smiled with satisfaction. She was now the man’s treasure. Once she married him, wouldn’t she immediately enter the upper echelons?

She flicked her dark hair and curved her lips into a charming smile, opening the bathroom door to reveal a man waiting outside. Not only was he handsome, but he also had a great physique.

He looked at her with a smile in his eyes, "Feeling better? Still nauseous?"

She shook her head, lightly patting below her collarbone, "Much better! Ah Xue, having you and the baby makes me feel so happy!"

"Silly! I also feel so happy! This baby really makes you suffer! How about we tell my mother now?" He indulgently pulled her to sit on the large bed in the bedroom.

Her eyes twinkling, she looked up at him gently, "We shouldn’t, Ah Xue. We’re pregnant out of wedlock, after all. If your mother finds out, she’ll look down on me!

You know my family background isn’t great to begin with, and if... how will your family see me in the future? Let’s wait a few more days until I get to know them better before telling them, okay?"

"Don’t overthink. If my mom knew she had a grandchild, she’d be overjoyed and wouldn’t think about that! Besides, even if others don’t know, I do. Our first time was my impulse, and it’s all my fault! Otherwise, you wouldn’t be going through all this suffering!"

He felt a little guilty at the thought. Her health wasn’t great to begin with, and if they had waited until she was in better shape to have a child, she certainly wouldn’t have suffered so much. Since learning she was pregnant, she had been constantly nauseous and couldn’t keep anything down.

Fortunately, since returning home with him, she had been much better. Thinking of this, he softly said, "Let’s go downstairs. Sister-in-law called us for dinner twice; you should at least eat a little!"

She nodded gently and followed him downstairs. (To be continued. If you work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
