Chapter 11

After Four Years, They Were Back at the Same Place 3

Xu Qian was puzzled. “Maybe everyone’s body is different. Why don’t you take two more pills?”

Tong Lu had drunk some wine, and she felt that the banquet hall was a little hot. She headed to the bathroom and washed her face with some cold water.

She gazed at her reflection in the mirror as she stood in front of the sink. It was strange. Why were her cheeks so red? Why was she feeling so hot? She only had one glass of wine.

“Where’s Tong Lu?”

After Leng Yejin got down from the stage, Tong Lu was nowhere to be seen. Leng Yejin furrowed his eyebrows a little. Why was she running around?

Secretary Yu looked around. “That’s strange. She was here a while ago. I’ll go and look for her.”

“Future brother-in-law, can you take a look at what’s going on with my sister?” Xu Qian supported Xu Jing as both of them walked toward Leng Yejin. There was an anxious expression on Xu Jing’s face. “She suddenly started saying that she’s feeling very hot and is pulling her clothes non-stop. Could she have been drugged? Someone tried to frame my best friend and drugged her before. My older sister is exhibiting the same symptoms as my best friend did the other time. Could it be that someone had drugged my sister?”

Leng Yijin glanced flatly at Xu Jing’s face. It was abnormally red. He immediately called two of his bodyguards over. “Send her to the hospital.”

This was when a call from Secretary Yu came in. “Young master, something has happened. Miss Tong has been drugged…”

Leng Yejin furrowed his eyebrows. She was also drugged? He turned to look at Xu Jing. She was no longer in control of herself, and she was pulling at her clothes non-stop. Leng Yejin could not help but to think about how Tong Lu might be doing the same, and his gaze immediately became ice cold. He turned and left, leaving the Xu siblings behind.

Xu Qian immediately went after him. This was such a good opportunity. How could she let her future brother-in-law escape?

“Future brother-in-law, do you think that my older sister has been drugged with an aphrodisiac? If she is, there would be no point in going to the hos-”

Leng Yejin glanced at his arm, which was being grabbed by the woman. He stared icily at her, “Is there any illness in this world that can’t be treated by doctors?”

After he said that, he gestured at his bodyguards with his eyes. A few bodyguards immediately pulled Xu Qian away from him. Leng Yejin straightened up his shirt and strode away hurriedly.

He brought Tong Lu to the presidential suite of the Imperial Hotel. As expected, Tong Lu was exhibiting the same symptoms as Xu Jing. She was feeling extremely uncomfortable. She had never experienced something like this before. Could she have eaten something wrong?

What should she do? She tried her best to fight the aphrodisiac, and she was clutching the sheets so hard that she was almost tearing it into shreds.

She shut her eyes tightly, and the word Leng Yejin had said after he settled her down in the presidential suite echoed in her mind. “Endure.”

She had heard that cold water served to ease the symptoms caused by aphrodisiac. But only after soaking herself in cold water did Tong Lu really know what it meant like to be in heaven and hell at the same time. Was this really useful?
