Chapter 387: Chapter 389: Poisoned
When Gu Tiantian noticed Cheng Junnan’s eyes, her heart skipped a beat. His gaze was hazy yet fixed on her, making her feel very awkward and embarrassed.
"President Cheng, you’ve had too much to drink. You should go back and rest early."
After Gu Tiantian spoke, she glanced behind Cheng Junnan and, sure enough, saw a white car not far away.
But like this, he can still drive?
Though skeptical deep down, if he could drive here, he should be able to drive back, right?
However, when Gu Tiantian noticed the bottles beside the car, she felt like she’d been struck by lightning.
"President Cheng?"
Cheng Junnan stared intently at Gu Tiantian in front of him. Ever since she rejected him in the office last time, he hadn’t been able to recover.
From childhood to adulthood, there had never been something he wanted that he couldn’t obtain.
Women were no exception.
Moreover, since his youth, those women didn’t need him to initiate—using various methods, they’d stick to him, either for money or connections.
Whether in work or with women, he had always been at ease, feeling free and content.
However, due to his status, he had always navigated through the field of flowers without a single leaf sticking to him.
Even when surrounded by scandals, it was all just playacting, also to keep his family’s mouths shut.
Until he encountered Gu Tiantian.
Logically, given the relationship between Gu Tiantian and Bai Chenyao, he always looked down on women who sought to climb the social ladder like Gu Tiantian. Yet, inexplicably, whenever he had a moment, his attention would turn to Gu Tiantian.
He wondered why she was with Bai Chenyao—was it for money or for so-called connections?
But as she was by Bai Chenyao’s side, she remained just a small employee at Haitian Entertainment Company and was far from outstanding. In a company brimming with beauties and elites, she was pathetically insignificant.
If there was anything about her that was notably eye-catching, it was those pure, shining black eyes, always full of laughter.
But he remembered that the first time he saw her, her eyes were full of sharp guard and coldness, completely at odds with the usual laughter.
Cheng Junnan couldn’t understand why he kept thinking about Gu Tiantian.
Clearly, he had even slapped her, which was his first time laying a hand on a woman and in his life the first time engaging physically with someone.
Formerly, resolving matters never required him to lift a finger—just talking was enough.
Getting physical was too undignified!
Yet, that day, he inexplicably undignifiedly laid hands on someone.
The target being a woman.
Recently, the company’s workload was immense. He wasn’t quite overwhelmed but found no time to meet with Gu Tiantian for any date.
Realizing that Gu Tiantian and Bai Chenyao were still together felt like his heart was being fiercely struck.
Inexplicably, for three consecutive days, he drove his car to the community beneath Gu Tiantian’s apartment.
Not seeing Gu Tiantian come home the day before yesterday left a deeper thorn in his heart.
What he thought was news without foundation was confirmed by Gu Tiantian’s failure to return home.
Yesterday, she still hadn’t returned, and he felt slightly breathless, eventually stepping on the gas and leaving the community straight for the bar to drink heavily.
By today... he simply couldn’t be bothered to go drink at the bar anymore. Instead, he prepared drinks before getting into the car and drank while watching the lights of Cheng Liang’s place.
Thinking he could get drunk, but as he drank, he only became more sober and more uncomfortable, his heart aching slightly, and his complexion turned somewhat pale.
