Since knowing Leng Yichen, this was the first time he got drunk, and Bai Yiran was very curious.
Wang Hai shook his head, "Not sure, the boss was fine before going to the dinner tonight, and then suddenly he just drank..."
He even injured someone!
Of course, Wang Hai wouldn’t tell Bai Yiran about this; he just didn’t know how Mr. Kang was doing in the hospital now!
After Wang Hai left, Bai Yiran stood in place for a while before slowly walking to the bedside to look at Leng Yichen.
Leng Yichen had his eyes closed, looking as if he was asleep.
Bai Yiran sighed; it seemed that today’s Bai Family’s matter couldn’t be discussed. She turned around, intending to make a cup of honey water for Leng Yichen to drink.
Suddenly, her wrist was forcefully grabbed by Leng Yichen’s hot big hand.
The strength of Leng Yichen was great, and the pain on her wrist made Bai Yiran’s face suddenly twist. Turning her head, she saw that Leng Yichen, who had his eyes closed just moments ago, was now looking at her.
"What’s wrong?" Bai Yiran struggled to free her arm, but it was useless.
Bai Yiran thought Leng Yichen was having a drunken fit, but then heard Leng Yichen’s uncharacteristically cold questioning, "How exactly did this scar come about?"
Bai Yiran was startled, looking at the scar on her own arm, not expecting Leng Yichen to ask this question. Bai Yiran knew better than anyone how this scar came about, yet she couldn’t reveal the truth!
"Didn’t I tell you... I fell down the stairs and got scratched, did you forget?" Bai Yiran feigned calmness.
Bai Yiran thought that after she had given Leng Yichen an answer, he would release her, but unexpectedly, his grip tightened, causing Bai Yiran to break into a cold sweat from the pain.
"Leng Yichen! What are you doing! It hurts!" Bai Yiran exclaimed.
"Hurts?" Leng Yichen sat up, flinging Bai Yiran’s hand away, and mocked, "I thought you liked it this way!"
After saying this, Leng Yichen no longer paid attention to Bai Yiran and went into the bathroom to shower.
Bai Yiran looked inexplicably at the bathroom door, wondering what kind of anger he was harboring? He was just drunk enough to need someone to help him walk, and now suddenly he’s sober like nothing happened?
After coming out of the bathroom, Leng Yichen directly headed outside.
"Where are you going?" Bai Yiran called out to Leng Yichen.
"You sleep first, I have work." Leng Yichen’s voice was cold and distant, making Bai Yiran feel uncomfortable.
In the study, Leng Yichen couldn’t calm his mind, tightly gripping the chair arms, lips pressed together.
In the days that followed, Bai Yiran never saw Leng Yichen again. She stubbornly refused to contact him, and he seemed to have forgotten her existence.
Sister Liu watched anxiously, urging Bai Yiran several times to soften and persuade Leng Yichen to come back, but every time Bai Yiran’s response was indifferent, not engaging or expressing any stance.
Finally, Sister Liu could no longer bear it and lied about a fire at home, thinking it would trick Leng Yichen back, but the one who returned was Wang Hai.
Sister Liu glanced at Bai Yiran, who was eating, and complained to Wang Hai displeased, "Why are you here! Where is Mister?"
Wang Hai was startled, "The boss went on a business trip!"
"A business trip?" Sister Liu was taken aback, "How come we didn’t know?"
"The boss decided it last minute..." Wang Hai carefully responded, looking at the expressionless Bai Yiran. It was clear to everyone that there was a conflict between Bai Yiran and Leng Yichen, but no one knew why.
Even Bai Yiran herself didn’t know why.
"Brother Hai." Bai Yiran, who had been silent, finally put down her utensils, "Can you tell me who Leng Yichen was with when he got drunk that day?"
Since that social engagement, Leng Yichen had become different. Bai Yiran had a vague feeling it was related to the people he was with that day.
Wang Hai thought for a moment and respectfully replied, "It was Mr. Kang from Kangcheng Real Estate!"
"Mr. Kang..."
Mr. Kang!
In an instant, Bai Yiran felt as if she had plunged into a deep abyss, choking her to the point of breathlessness...
