"Actually, I did the investigation." Antonio said slowly, "I heard that the woman used to live in Qin Garden for a long time, and then moved to another high-end community after you appeared. The person I hired for the investigation personally heard that little girl call Long Yubei ’daddy’, if she’s not his illegitimate daughter then what is she? Just by looking at you one can tell you’re kept in the dark, right? Getting married without knowing anything? Do you think a woman of his status has never been with other women before marriage? Stop making a fuss."
Gu Lili was already feeling pretty bad inside, with seeds of doubt planted, but those were just her own wild guesses. However, Antonio’s words seemed to have snapped something inside her, hammering the final nail; the little girl calling him ’daddy’...
"Did you really investigate?"
"Of course, and while I was at it, I also investigated you. So, I’m waiting for the two of you to divorce before I pursue you. By then, I must take you for myself."
Yet, Lili didn’t absorb a single word he said.
She just kept drinking endlessly, forgetting that she had driven here, forgetting where she was.
Seeing her drown her sorrows in alcohol, Antonio promptly said, "If you get drunk, and if I take advantage of you, don’t cry about it." ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novelFirｅ.net
That statement extinguished her urge to drink.
She stopped drinking and got up to dance.
Gauging the interesting scene, Antonio moved closer to dance with her. Gu Lili’s dancing was a chaotic mess, swinging her body recklessly, but even so, in Antonio’s eyes, it was attractive.
Long Yubei was left and right, but his young wife did not return.
When the calls went unanswered, he anxiously asked Tang Qingli, "Where on earth did she go?"
"How would I know, young master? The young madam didn’t report her whereabouts to me."
Damn it, could something have happened again?
Recalling the last incident, Long Yubei couldn’t help but shout, "Go find her right now!"
He paced in the living room like a raging lion.
The calls kept going unanswered.
"If she’s not picking up, what’s the use of a cellphone?!"
Frustrated, he angrily tossed the phone onto the sofa.
After a while, the phone rang. He immediately picked it up again, only to see that it was Liang He calling, and answered irritably, "Why are you calling at night, can’t you sleep?!"
"Sounding tense? Is something off with your sex life?"
"What’s wrong now?" Liang He hurried to add, "Feeling upset? Come over and let young master give you some soul-soothing chicken soup."
"If you keep spouting nonsense, I’ll skin you. What’s the reason for your call?"
"Nothing much, just thought of asking you out for a drink."
After the call ended, in such a moment, he was being asked out for drinks while he couldn’t even find his wife. Was there any mood to drink?
As time kept spinning, at eleven o’clock, Tang Qingli finally had a lead, "Young master, the young madam’s car was spotted in front of a bar."
"What?!" Long Yubei immediately instructed him, "Take me there."
When the master and servant arrived, Gu Lili was playing cards with a group of Antonio’s friends, drunk and thoroughly enjoying herself.
Seeing her in that state, Long Yubei erupted in fury.
Fuming, he marched straight to her, picked her up ignoring everyone’s stares, and left the place.
