Chapter 228: Chapter 228

The two of them chatted, seemingly neglecting CEO Qi. This prompted Qi Longbing to interject, "Xiao Mo, didn’t you reserve a private room? Let’s head over."

This annoying curly redhead, what is he looking at! Qi Longbing suddenly felt very displeased. He did not man talking to his Xiao Mo, especially with the two of them laughing and chatting.

"UM." Hua Xiaomo responded and then said goodbye to Jess, heading to private room 520, which had been specially prepared for them.

The exquisite private room had everything one could wish for, and soon a variety of delicious dishes and desserts were served.

It wasn’t until the servant closed the door again that Hua Xiaomo had poured two glasses of champagne.

She handed one over. Qi Longbing happily accepted it. Looking at the beauty seated opposite him, accompanied by the relaxing music in the private room, made one’s spirit feel somewhat intoxicated.

"Xiao Mo, I’m truly happy tonight. I feel our future will be wonderful. Come, cheers!" Qi Longbing lifted his glass of champagne, his handsome face beaming, his eyes holding only Hua Xiaomo.

"Cheers!" Hua Xiaomo also raised her glass, moving closer to him, a sly, deep gleam in the depths of her eyes.

Soon, Hua Xiaomo watched Qi Longbing drink the champagne. As he drank, she had already poured her own into the trash bin beside her.

"President Qi, you really can hold your liquor. Come on, let’s have another!" Hua Xiaomo said, pouring him another full glass.

By the time the second glass was down, Qi Longbing’s eyes were already looking heavy with drink. When he stood up and took a few steps, he started to sway.

"Ha, I didn’t expect to feel a bit dizzy after just two glasses. Xiao Mo..." Qi Longbing said with a smile, a brilliant light in his eyes, trying to maintain his composure. "I... I must give you a wonderful night..."

But at that moment, just as his hand touched her shoulder, his head began to spin severely. He eventually collapsed, his smiling face slumping towards hers.

Hua Xiaomo swiftly moved away from his hand. "President Qi, you’re drunk. Let me help you to the sofa to rest for a bit."

"Okay..." Qi Longbing’s low chuckle resonated in the atmosphere between them as Hua Xiaomo helped him to the sofa.

Watching him dazed by the drugged wine, Hua Xiaomo suddenly thought of the camera.

This is a good opportunity.

When his scorching hand grabbed hers, Hua Xiaomo recoiled in shock, immediately pulling her hand back and stepping away from the sofa.

She also suddenly remembered what Wen Yajun had told her on the phone the night before: the champagne contained a potent drug, and when the drugged person reawakened, they would go into a frenzy...

"Xiao Mo..." Qi Longbing muttered from the sofa, seemingly showing signs of reawakening from the drug’s effects.

Hua Xiaomo glanced at him, quickly composed herself, and, not lingering a moment longer, hurried toward the door of the private room.

I’m sorry, I don’t want to do this, but I can’t be blamed for this.

The door opened, and standing outside was a handsome, somewhat shy young man—none other than Zhou Xiyang.

"How did it go, Xiao Mo? Did he drink it?" Zhou Xiyang asked nervously, looking at Hua Xiaomo.

"He drank it. Now is a good time for you to go in. The drug will probably take effect soon," Hua Xiaomo said, a faint trace of unease in her eyes, though it wasn’t very noticeable.

"UM." Zhou Xiyang nodded, a sense of excitement stirring within him.

"Should I take the photos now?" Hua Xiaomo suggested. If Zhou Xiyang helps him undress, it’ll be much more convenient.

"Xiao Mo, don’t rush. I... I’ll go in and take a look first. After a little while, I’ll call you, and then you can come in, okay?" Zhou Xiyang said, his eyes becoming slightly bloodshot.

"That works for me. I’ll wait for your call in the private room next door," Hua Xiaomo said, her gaze turning solemn. After exchanging a look with him, she said nothing more and quickly walked into the adjoining private room, 521.

Meanwhile, Zhou Xiyang entered Qi Longbing’s private room, 520.

This scene was clearly observed by a man lurking in the corner.

That person is obviously gay! Why does Xiao Mo want him to get close to President Qi? Wen Yajun frowned as he watched from outside the door.

He couldn’t hear their conversation from outside due to the distance, but their exchanged expressions suggested a conspiracy.

Wen Yajun felt a chill run down his spine and quickly realized something. Updates are released by 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝗇𝗲𝘵

Xiao Mo... why are you setting up President Qi ?

Without allowing himself to dwell on it, Wen Yajun quickly walked toward the private rooms. Looking at the numbers on the doors, 520 and 521, his thoughts grew heavy.

Xiao Mo, why are you doing this? You can choose not to like him, but you really don’t have the right to make decisions for him! Wen Yajun clenched his fists.

Hua Xiaomo was his good friend, but Qi Longbing was an idol Wen Yajun had admired for a long time.

No matter what, his idol was in trouble, and he couldn’t just stand by and do nothing. He had to stop them. He couldn’t let President Qi be threatened. Yes, he had to protect President Qi. He had to protect President Qi well.

Wen Yajun quickly turned the handle of room 520 and tiptoed inside.

Perhaps Zhou Xiyang was too confident, or perhaps he wanted to make it easier for Hua Xiaomo to enter, so he hadn’t locked the door properly, only latching it casually.

This allowed Wen Yajun to sneak into the room easily.

"Xiao Mo... is it you?" Qi Longbing murmured with his eyes closed, his mind filled with thoughts of Hua Xiaomo.

Zhou Xiyang looked at him. His own pupils were suffused with a red flush, and his rather sculpted face was also crimson.

Zhou Xiyang couldn’t help but smile faintly as he looked at him.

"Who the fuck is that? Get lost!!" Qi Longbing yelled, his handsome face turning a bit red with anger. But right after cursing, he trailed off.

This damned person is really pissing me off! Who the hell is he? So annoying! He looks like that McDonald’s manager... but why would he be here? Strange, that’s impossible. I remember clearly coming with Hua Xiaomo. How did I end up seeing this guy in front of me? What rotten luck!

I really hate this guy. But where did Hua Xiaomo go? He tried to think, looking left and right, but there was no sign of Hua Xiaomo anywhere. A wave of displeasure washed over Qi Longbing. He didn’t feel good at all right now. It was so strange, he felt drunk even though he hadn’t drunk much.

Ugh, what on earth is happening? My head is starting to hurt. Am I sick? But how could I be sick? Sickness doesn’t feel , does it? I don’t know what’s going on.

I just feel... off. But right now, I need to find Hua Xiaomo. We came together, and now I’m alone in this room, and she’s gone? That’s not right. No matter what, I have to find Hua Xiaomo immediately.
