Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit

Chapter 402 - 395: Reaping What You Sow (Part 4)

Downstairs at the dining table, Qi Hui sat nervously in her seat. Finally, Bai Yiran was not at the table, and she thought she could say something to Leng Yichen, but when the time came, she didn’t know what to say or what should be said. She could only glance at her father, Old Qi, who, upon seeing his daughter’s eyes, immediately picked up the bottle of red wine beside the table that had not been touched and diligently poured a glass for Leng Yichen.

"Yichen, Uncle Qi here is apologizing to you for Qi Hui. The day of the banquet, that girl was out of her mind and did something foolish. She has already received the punishment she deserved, and I have reprimanded her as well. Besides, your wife is fine. Let’s just put this matter behind us, and don’t be angry with Qi Hui anymore."

Seeing Old Qi’s humble manner, Leng Yichen looked down on him from the bottom of his heart and said, "First of all, when you do something wrong, you must be punished; that’s an unchanging principle. Secondly, Bai Yiran is not completely fine; she spent a night in the hospital due to gastric spasms from repeated vomiting."

Leng Yichen’s words hit Old Qi hard in the face, making him feel a sudden flush of heat. It was the first time Old Qi had been reprimanded by a junior like this, but thinking of his daughter, he endured it.

"Yes, yes! Qi Hui made a terrible mistake, and Yichen, you’re generous and won’t hold it against a little person like her!"

Seeing her father humbled like this for her sake, Qi Hui felt uncomfortable in her heart. For a moment, she really wanted to let it go, but looking at Leng Yichen’s handsome face, she didn’t want to give up just like that.

"Yichen, don’t pull a long face, your Uncle Qi already apologized, are you going to hold a grudge against him and Qi Hui for life over this?" Saying this, Leng Liewei stood up, raising his glass with enthusiasm, "Come on! Let’s drink!"

Although very unwilling, Leng Yichen still raised his glass and after draining the wine in one gulp, he slightly frowned.

He was always picky about red wine, and this wine was not good!

Bai Yiran thought that after Luna gave her something, it would be over, but unexpectedly, this woman started going on and on about her relationship with Leng Liewei from dating to marriage—a tedious and lengthy story. Bai Yiran didn’t even know when she fell asleep, only that she slept until the morning of the first day of the month.

Upon awakening, Bai Yiran found herself lying in her original bedroom, with no sign of Leng Yichen beside her. She had no memory of when or how she fell asleep last night, only vaguely remembering Luna smiling at her before sleeping.

She hadn’t even changed her clothes, still wearing the same outfit from yesterday. Pulling off the quilt, she got out of bed. Leng Yichen surely wouldn’t leave her and go off on his own. If he wasn’t in the room, he should be in the gym.

Bai Yiran walked out of the room; the door to the adjacent room, which was Xiao Lang’s room before, was ajar, and she could faintly hear snoring inside. Bai Yiran knew that Leng Yichen didn’t snore, so she could basically conclude that the person inside was not Leng Yichen.

Just as she was about to leave, Old Qi and Luna hurried over, "Yiran, who are you looking for?"

"I’m looking for Leng Yichen; he’s not in the bedroom," Bai Yiran answered honestly.

"Oh my god, have you seen Qi Hui?" Luna said.

As soon as Luna spoke, Bai Yiran was stunned. Luna’s question was problematic, clearly trying to link Leng Yichen and Qi Hui together.

Luna looked back at the room in shock and then said to Bai Yiran, "Last night, I saw you fell asleep, so Sister Wu and I carried you to the bedroom. At that time, they were still eating and drinking downstairs, and I didn’t bother them. I was also sleepy then, so I went to bed. But now, Old Qi says Qi Hui can’t be found, and you can’t find Leng Yichen. You think... everyone drank quite a bit last night!"

"Is there someone in that room!" Old Qi suddenly shouted.
