Chapter 0116 The "Baby" After Getting Drunk
It's late at night, 11 p.m.
A black Maybach was driving back to its apartment.
This was an extremely long business dinner.
Jiang Ci drank quite a bit tonight because of that overseas acquisition deal.
Red and white, mixed together.
Although he honed his drinking capacity in the business world, even the strongest person couldn't withstand this level of drinking.
The partition in the back seat rises.
The carriage was dimly lit and quiet, filled with a strong smell of alcohol.
Wen Ning sat in the corner.
She looked at the man beside her.
Jiang Ci leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed.
He had already ripped off his tie and thrown it aside, his shirt collar was open, revealing a large expanse of reddened skin and his Adam's apple bobbing.
His brow was furrowed, and his breathing was heavy and hot.
He was pressing his hand against his stomach, clearly not feeling well.
"General Manager Jiang..."
Wen Ning spoke softly and handed over a bottle of water.
"Have some water."
Jiang Ci did not answer.
He slowly opened his eyes.
Those eyes, usually as cold as ice, were now veiled with a misty haze.
The focus is somewhat blurred.
It seems... there's an unusual, unguarded vulnerability about it.
He turned his head.
He stared at Wen Ning for a while.
It was as if they didn't recognize each other, or as if they were confirming something.
Sudden.
He moved.
His body, which had been leaning back in the chair, suddenly tilted to the side.
It was like a mountain that had lost its support, pressing heavily on Wen Ning.
"Hmm!"
Wen Ning was pressed down and sank into the leather seat.
Jiang Ci buried his head in the crook of her neck.
Hot breath sprayed onto her sensitive skin.
The heat wave, carrying the smell of alcohol, instantly enveloped her.
"Jiang Ci? You..."
Wen Ning tried to push him away.
But he held on very tightly.
He wrapped his arms around her waist and clasped them tightly behind her back.
Instead of loosening its grip, it rubbed against her even more vigorously.
Like a clingy, large dog that has been wronged outside, finally finding its owner's embrace.
"Don't move."
He mumbled something indistinctly.
Followed by.
A soft, gentle voice, yet powerful enough to make Wen Ning's heart stop, escaped from his lips.
"Baby……"
Wen Ning's whole body stiffened.
My mind went completely blank.
Baby.
This was the name he used three years ago, during the most intimate and emotional moments of his relationship.
In the past three years, he has called her "Miss Wen", "Wen Ning", and even "that woman".
Only this title.
It was sealed away in time.
But now.
In the dead of night, amidst drunkenness.
This man, who usually wanted to strangle her, held her and called her baby.
"Baby... has a headache..."
Jiang Ci nuzzled against her neck, his voice full of grievance.
"It hurts..."
"besides……"
His arms tightened, making it hard for Wen Ning to breathe.
Her voice was clearly trembling with sobs and panic.
"Don't go..."
"Please...don't leave me..."
"I won't yell at you anymore... I'll be a good girl and listen to you..."
"Please don't leave me..."
Wen Ning's tears streamed down her face instantly.
original.
This is his deepest fear.
Even after becoming the fearsome President Jiang, even after accumulating a fortune of hundreds of billions.
In his subconscious.
He is still that boy who was abandoned in the rainy night, afraid of being left behind.
"I'm not leaving."
Wen Ning's hands trembled as she hugged him back.
She ran her fingers through his sweaty short hair, gently soothing him.
"Aci, I'm not leaving."
"I'm right here."
"I'm not going anywhere."
Jiang Ci seemed to have heard the promise.
The tense body slowly relaxed.
But he still wouldn't let go, clinging to her like a koala until the car stopped in the underground garage.
……
Back at the apartment.
This journey was incredibly difficult.
Jiang Ci was so drunk that he was practically leaning his entire weight on her.
It was quite a struggle to get him into bed.
Wen Ning was panting heavily from exhaustion and was about to wring out a hot towel.
My wrist tightened.
They were pulled back again.
Jiang Ci lay on the bed, his eyes half-open and half-closed.
But his hand gripped her clothes tightly.
"Where to?"
He asked cautiously.
"I'll go wipe your face..."
"You're not allowed to go."
He pulled hard.
Wen Ning lost her balance and fell onto the bed.
He pulled her into his arms and wrapped her in the blanket.
"sleep."
He rested his chin on the top of her head.
He used both his hands and feet to hold her tightly in his arms.
That's a posture of absolute possession.
"Run again... I'll break your legs."
Even in his sleep, he didn't forget to utter a vicious threat.
But the next second, he kissed her hair again.
Goodnight...baby.
Wen Ning nestled in his arms.
Listen to his breathing gradually become steady.
That idiot.
……
The next morning.
A hangover headache woke Jiang Ci.
He frowned and slowly opened his eyes.
The first thing I saw was the familiar bedroom ceiling.
There seems to be something in my arms?
Soft and warm.
He looked down.
Wen Ning was nestled in his arms, fast asleep.
Her hand was still on his waist, and her face was pressed against his chest.
The two were very intimate, like a loving couple who had been together for many years.
Jiang Ci's brain went blank for two seconds.
My memory of last night is fragmented.
All he remembers is drinking a lot of alcohol, and then...
Then what happened?
Why would he hold her while sleeping?
Why did that empty feeling in my heart feel filled up?
A nameless panic and self-loathing welled up inside me.
How could he...
How could he show such a defenseless attitude towards this woman who betrayed him?
"Whoosh—!"
Jiang Ci suddenly threw off the covers.
As if electrocuted, he pushed the person in his arms away.
Wen Ning was awakened by the noise.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes and groggily sat up.
"What's wrong...A-Ci?"
She was still immersed in the warmth of last night and subconsciously called out that name.
Jiang Ci suddenly stopped in his tracks as he was getting out of bed.
His back was stiff.
"Shut up."
He turned around.
His expression had returned to its usual coldness, even colder than usual.
A hint of embarrassment and anger flashed in his eyes.
"Who gave you permission to get into my bed?"
He questioned coldly.
I have absolutely no recollection of him refusing to let go last night.
"I……"
Wen Ning was stunned.
Looking into his cold eyes, the man who cried out "Baby, don't go" last night seemed like an illusion.
"Get out of here."
Jiang Ci pointed to the doorway.
"From now on, you are not allowed to enter the master bedroom without my permission."
"besides……"
He straightened his pajamas and glanced at the sheets with disgust.
"Change the sheets."
"It's all your scent."
"It smells awful."
Done.
He turned and strode into the bathroom.
The door slammed shut with a "bang".
The sound of water could be heard.
He was rinsing his body with cold water.
He tried to wash away his embarrassment from last night, and to wash away the warmth he craved.
Wash it off too...
The version of myself that still loves her.
Wen Ning sat on the messy bed.
Looking at the tightly closed bathroom door.
He gave a bitter smile.
