After Xia Yanxi bought the personal items she needed in the supermarket, she returned to her room with a complicated, heavy and uncomfortable mood.
The room she booked was opposite Qiao Yanli's usual room. She didn't know why she booked this room. She probably wanted to be closer to his breath!
Although she didn’t want the two of them to have any more interactions, she still hoped to see him a few more times after all the matters were dealt with—
Near midnight, Xia Yanxi, who had never felt sleepy, heard movement outside. She stood on tiptoes and looked outside through the peephole.
She saw the young girl helping Qiao Yanli into the presidential suite opposite. She couldn't see Qiao Yanli's expression. However, he was being supported by the girl. He must have drunk too much! She asked the front desk before that there was a dinner party for the business and political circles at the Haoting Hotel tonight. As the heir to the Qiao family, Qiao Yanli would definitely come to attend.
…
After An Xiaoning helped Qiao Yanli to the bed, she bent over and took a few deep breaths.
Looking at the drunken Qiao Yanli, she took off his shoes for him, covered him with a quilt, and said to herself, "Brother Yanli, what do you think is wrong with me? Why is my brother-in-law unwilling to look at him more? Look at me? Every time he looks at me, he has a cold look, which makes me really depressed."
An Xiaoning's brother-in-law is Fu Yan. Her half-sister died not long after marrying Fu Yan. An Xiaoning has been secretly in love with him since she was a child, but Fu Yan has always liked her sister. However, An Xiaoning has always had an optimistic personality, and even if she was troubled by Fu Yan, she would not complain.
She pursed her lips and murmured to herself, "Every time I confess to him, he will say that I am still a girl who has not grown up. I am already twenty, how can I not grow up? I said a few days ago Ah, I told him that my family is going to pair me with you. He said it’s great. I look like your ex-wife. You will definitely like me when you see me. Ouch, why is my relationship so different? Shun, if you can’t get your lover’s love and have to be their substitute, is it so miserable?”
As soon as An Xiaoning finished speaking, she heard a hoarse voice, "She's not as cute as you."
He suddenly spoke, and An Xiaoning was startled. She patted her chest and said in surprise, "Brother Yanli, you are not drunk..."
Qiao Yanli stroked his forehead and sat up from the bed. He rubbed his painful temples and said, "I'm drunk, but I'm still conscious."
An Xiaoning was embarrassed when she thought that he had heard all those words she just said. She covered her hot little face with her hands and said with trembling eyelashes, "Hey, hey, what I just said was all nonsense. Don't tell that to that big guy Fu Yan, I didn't like him a long time ago, I think you're quite handsome now, how about we make do with each other!"
Qiao Yanli's deep and narrow eyes were fixed on An Xiaoning quietly, as if he was looking at another woman through her. After a while, he said in a low voice, "I don't want to hurt you."
An Xiaoning knew that he allowed her to be his companion this time just for the old lady's sake. I heard that the old lady was very anxious about his affairs recently. He probably agreed to be his female companion just to appease the old lady, just like her, so that her family would no longer arrange blind dates for her.
"Brother Yanli, they all say that I look like your ex-wife, is it true?" An Xiaoning touched her face, very curious about what his ex-wife looked like.
