Chapter 18: Drugged Again
Chapter 18: Drugged Again
After hanging up the phone, Mo Xunhuan dialed his wife's number again.
After confirming it, it was exactly as Su Qi had said, and Lu Xiaoxue couldn't contain her joy.
Helpless, Mo Xunhuan had no choice but to entrust his daughter to the care of his neighbor, Lin Yun'er.
"Yoona, I have something to attend to. I'll leave Qingqing in your care. Thank you for your help."
"It's okay, leave this little thing to me. I'll come to your house for dinner tomorrow night, so you have to cook lots of delicious food~" Yoona winked at him.
"Alright, then you can eat as much as you want!" Mo Xunhuan patted her head, then gave his daughter some more instructions before turning and leaving.
Watching Mo Xunhuan's departing figure, Lin Yoona's eyes were filled with infatuation. She couldn't help but sigh, "If I could find a boyfriend who can cook and is handsome like that, I would be incredibly lucky."
"Then you're out of luck. There are plenty of people who like my dad." Lu Qingqing in her arms poured cold water on him without any politeness.
This remark infuriated Yoona, who retorted, "I have no chance? I fed you so many delicious things, and this is how you repay me? You ungrateful wretch!"
"I was wrong, Yoona unnie~"
………………
Downstairs, Mo Xunhuan had just reached the entrance of the residential area when a familiar car drove up and stopped in front of him.
As the car window slowly rolled down, Su Qi's aloof face, clad in sunglasses, was revealed.
"Get in the car!" Su Qi said aloofly, taking off her sunglasses.
Soon the car drove away from the residential area and onto the busy highway.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Mo Xunhuan opened the window and enjoyed the evening breeze, though it was a bit chilly and made him feel cold.
"Hiss... It's cold today!" Mo Xunhuan gasped and closed the window again.
"It's okay, just warm up a bit more."
"warm up?"
"You should exercise more at night," Su Qi said meaningfully.
Understanding the implication in her words, Mo Xunhuan curled his lip and said sarcastically, "What's it to you? If I were to train, I'd definitely ask my wife. You're a single dog, go play by yourself!"
Su Qi: …………
The two soon arrived at a restaurant, and after half an hour, Lu Xiaoxue still hadn't come over, even though all the dishes had been served.
"Why hasn't she arrived yet?"
"How would I know? Maybe it's because I've been busy with the new project!" Su Qi opened a bottle of red wine, got up, and poured some into Mo Xunhuan's glass.
Looking at the red wine in his glass, and with Lu Xiaoxue still not arriving, Mo Xunhuan hesitated and looked at Su Qi, only to see virtual data displayed above the other's head.
Su Qi:
Sinister value: 99% (about to reach its maximum)
Corruption Value: 9%
System recommendation: Extremely dangerous. Once reversed, the host's corruption value will increase rapidly.
Faced with this situation, even the fearless Mo Xunhuan had to carefully consider his options.
He stood up and swapped his cup with Su Qi's, a move that left Su Qi completely bewildered.
"Seriously? You suspect I drugged you?"
"You've done it before, who knows if you were just itching to do it again, and suddenly pulled this trick again," Mo Xunhuan said with a pout.
Su Qi was speechless for a moment, then angrily picked up her wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, glaring at him resentfully.
"Your turn!"
"Tch, let's drink then, who's afraid of who?" Mo Xunhuan also picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Upon seeing this, Su Qi's lips curled up slightly.
10 minutes later…………
Mo Xunhuan was fast asleep, slumped over the table, while Su Qi gracefully stood up, straightened her clothes, and called out, "Waiter, the bill!"
..............................
As night falls and the evening rush hour begins, the roads are packed with vehicles, flowing endlessly.
Inside the car, Mo Xunhuan, who was still in the back seat, was fast asleep. The swaying of the car and the music in his ears gradually brought him to his senses, and he stared ahead with a dazed look in his eyes.
"I...this is..."
At this moment, he had to admit that he had been tricked again. He thought that switching the wine glass would solve the problem, but now that he thought about it, waiters in high-end hotels would almost never do such a thing, yet Su Qi was able to successfully drug his glass. He had been too clever for his own good.
"You're awake! I was worried that you wouldn't react when we did it later, which would be too boring. Now it's perfect." Su Qi's leisurely voice came from the front row.
Mo Xunhuan tried to get up in anger, but he had no strength at all, and even his consciousness was difficult to maintain. His vision was blurry.
"You...bastard!" Mo Xunhuan cursed weakly, using all his remaining strength.
"Yes, you're right, I'm a bastard. This bastard has liked you since high school, from high school to college, and even after graduation and starting work, I haven't dated a single boyfriend all these years. You're all I can think about," Su Qi shouted, venting her frustration.
"I didn't want to end up like this, but what else can I do besides get this? Who told Lu Xiaoxue to join our company, and of all things, become my subordinate? This opportunity is right in front of me... I've missed out on so many years, how could I possibly miss it this time?"
Faced with Su Qi's venting-like defense, Mo Xunhuan was both angry and helpless, and retorted, "Then... do you think this is love?"
This question silenced Su Qi, and the car fell silent for a long time.
With the sound of a lighter, Su Qi lit a cigarette and started smoking.
She opened the window, and the cigarette smoke drifted out, but the cold wind also blew in, calming her down considerably and also bringing Mo Xunhuan to his senses.
"I know what you're trying to say. You think I'm only doing this because I want your body. Of course, that's true, I admit it, but if I didn't like you, why would I risk getting caught to do this? Maybe I really am crazy..."
Listening to the other person's mutterings, Mo Xunhuan opened his mouth as if to say something, but the effects of the drug gradually took hold, causing him to faint.
………………
When Mo Xunhuan woke up again, he was already lying on the hotel bed, the dim lighting creating a hazy atmosphere in the room.
The sound of water coming from the bathroom indicated that Su Qi was taking a shower, and the sound of her humming a tune could also be heard.
Even with his charm value at its peak, Su Qi still maintained a minimum sense of ritual. He wanted to present his best side to Mo Xunhuan, to the person he loved most.
He had such a good opportunity to easily open the door and escape. But Mo Xunhuan was too weak to even get out of bed and couldn't do any of that.
"System, what should I do now?" Mo Xunhuan asked the system for help in desperation.
System: Reverse the "reverse push" situation, push the opponent down first, and cause the opponent to fall into evil.
"Nonsense, if I could move now, I would have escaped long ago," Mo Xunhuan retorted.
