“…Can you go back to the banquet hall by yourself?” Qin Chaoyan’s reason seemed to be burned by a raging fire, tightening the strings in his brain. He tried his best to restrain himself and barely finished this sentence.
He was used to enduring everything by himself, so he concealed it very well at this moment. Except for his red face and a blank look in his eyes, there was no more abnormality. Even his breathing was controlled, only a little disordered.
Ye Rongxu didn’t see the problem; he just thought that he was prone to flushing after drinking and a little drunk.
But shouldn’t he go to rest when he is drunk? Why did he let him go back alone just after leaving the banquet hall?
Ye Rongxu was puzzled and was about to ask “why,” but he saw Qin Chaoyan suddenly stand up without saying a word, supported by the wall, and quickly walk to the end of the corridor.
He staggered a little in the first few steps, but soon he walked faster and faster.
Ye Rongxu was a little stunned, took a look at the direction he was walking, and instantly understood—the bathroom was at the corner, not far ahead.
The other party might have drunk too much and wanted to vomit, or maybe…
In short, it was probably urgent.
Ye Rongxu nodded to himself, convinced that this must be the case.
It just so happened that after he was pushed out of the banquet hall, they actually didn’t go far, so he could turn back.
He hurriedly controlled the wheelchair back to the venue and wanted to ask Chen Jiang to go to the bathroom to help.
Putting other things aside, if Qin Chaoyan is throwing up, he’s probably very drunk, so Chen Jiang can go and help him out.

In the bathroom, Qin Chaoyan supported the sink with one hand; his five fingers exerted force, and the veins on the back of his hand were exposed. His other hand nearly forcefully unscrewed the faucet.
The cool water instantly gushed out, and he quickly scooped up a handful of water and splashed it on his face. Then he felt it wasn’t enough, so he simply bent down and let the cold water directly hit his face and neck.
The previously neat suit was slightly wrinkled at this moment, and the collar was also soaked by the cold water.
After about two minutes, he seemed to finally calm down.
Just now, in front of Ye Rongxu, his blood seemed to be burning, his rationality was almost burned out, and his brain was more chaotic than ever before, preventing him from thinking straight.
At that time, he had only two thoughts: one was to hug Ye Rongxu in the wheelchair in front of him, and the other was to put out the fire in his mind with cold water.
Fortunately, he still had a trace of rationality and didn’t do anything he shouldn’t do.
Qin Chaoyan flushed the cold water with his eyes closed. Gradually, the heat on his face seemed to drop a bit, but his body didn’t.
He supported himself on the sink with both hands, and after his mind cooled down a little, he was finally able to continue thinking.
He quickly realized that he must have drunk something he shouldn’t have, but he didn’t have the energy to think about how he got spiked. All he could think was that flushing like this wasn’t going to work, he had to go to the hospital.
After flushing for a while, he turned off the faucet with force and stood up with the sink.
With slightly disorganized footsteps, he walked out of the bathroom and was almost past the staircase next to the emergency exit when he suddenly heard a deliberately lowered voice across the corner wall.
“Young Master, everything is done as you ordered. After the waiter poured the wine for Qin Chaoyan, I bumped into him, and the remaining wine spilled, not poured to anyone else.”
“Yeah, I saw it.” A cold voice came faintly.
At the corner, Qin Chaoyan’s pupils shrank slightly, and he instantly recognized that it was Qin Jingxu’s voice.
The heat came back to his face soon after he stopped flushing, but this time he didn’t rush off, instead pressing his spine against the slightly cooler wall behind him and inclining his head as he continued to listen.
The voice of the man by the stairs was low; the words were muffled, only vaguely coming through. He had to be extremely discerning in order to hear them.
“…But Song Yangyang somehow spoiled the plan. He didn’t pour all the drug into the wine. He kept half of it for himself, maybe because he thought it was novel and wanted to use it somewhere else. Young Master, what should we do with the remaining half of the drug? Do you want to…”
Qin Jingxu seemed to be silent for a while; his tone was gloomy: “Don’t worry about it.”
“But if it was found out…”
“He’s not invited. It would be best if he were found out…”
“Okay.”
Soon, footsteps came down the stairs from the other side of the wall, and the person who talked to Qin Jingxu seemed to have left.
After a while, Qin Jingxu also walked out of the stairs. When he passed the corner, he bumped into Qin Chaoyan standing by the wall with an expressionless face.
“You!” Qin Jingxu was obviously shocked, like he was seeing a ghost, and a flash of panic appeared in his eyes.
But he quickly calmed down and said: “Why are you here?”
“By chance?” Qin Chaoyan had a blank expression. He clenched his hands so hard that his nails pierced his palms, using the pain to temporarily suppress another discomfort.
Perhaps due to the effect of the drug, his dark eyes were slightly red and particularly cold, which made him look a bit scary.
Qin Jingxu was completely calm at this moment. He straightened his sleeves and said slowly: “How much did you hear? It doesn’t matter if you tell others, but do you have evidence? Will anyone believe your–”
Before he finished speaking, Qin Chaoyan suddenly grabbed his neck and pressed him against the wall.
Because of the great inertia, the back of his head hit the wall with a “bang,” which made him dizzy. Before he could react, he was strangled and dragged to the ground by the neck again, then Qin Chaoyan raised his leg and hit his abdomen with his knee.
“Ugh.” Qin Jingxu suddenly lost his strength in pain, and his facial features were distorted.
After Qin Chaoyan hit him twice, the blood in his body seemed to flow faster, and the effect of the drug suddenly took effect, causing his eyes to become redder.
He was breathing hard and was about to throw Qin Jingxu away when he suddenly heard a scream from the other side.
Qin Chaoyan slowly turned his head and looked at the person coldly.
Song Yangyang drank too much at the banquet and came to the toilet to release himself, but he didn’t expect to see this scene.
He was standing not far away and was frightened by Qin Chaoyan’s eyes.
Seeing Qin Chaoyan’s fiercely beating Qin Jingxu, his face turned pale, but then he saw Qin Jingxu being beaten so hard that he couldn’t even stand up, and he plucked up his courage and accused: “Qin, Qin Chaoyan, how can you hit Young Master Qin… What are you doing?”
Before he finished speaking, he saw Qin Chaoyan suddenly throw Qin Jingxu away and stride towards him. He was so scared that he stuttered.
Qin Chaoyan’s aura was cold and ruthless. He looked thin, but he easily restrained Song Yangyang, whose figure was stronger than his own.
Song Yangyang was so scared that his legs were shaking, and his voice was trembling: “What are you doing? I’m telling you my father is Ye Rongxu’s uncle, you, you can’t hit me.”
Qin Chaoyan didn’t say anything. He directly searched his pockets and quickly found a small bottle of drug left.
“Is this the drug you put in the wine just now?” He asked coldly.
Song Yangyang was greatly frightened and began to feel guilty when the drug was pulled out.
Qin Chaoyan got the answer from his expression, let him go, and turned around with the drug.
Qin Jingxu was in so much pain that his eyes went black. At this moment, the pain finally eased a little, but just as he stood up, he saw Qin Chaoyan walking towards him with a familiar small drug bottle.
His pupils suddenly contracted, and he immediately realized something, subconsciously stepped back, and said in a hurry: “What are you going to do?”
The next moment, Qin Chaoyan strangled him again and poured the remaining drug into his mouth.
“Don’t you like drugging people?” Qin Chaoyan suddenly let go, pushed him away, and looked down coldly, “Then you can try it yourself.”
Qin Jingxu fell to the ground, immediately pinched his neck, coughed violently, and even tried to vomit, but it was too late.
This kind of drug has no side effects, but if he makes a fool of himself on such an occasion…
His face was extremely ugly as he was busy looking for his phone.
Qin Chaoyan bent down to help him find it, but held the phone without giving it to him and asked: “Who do you want to call?”
Qin Jingxu’s pupils shrink, staring at him: “Give it back to me.”
Unlike Qin Chaoyan, who drank only a glass of diluted drug added to a wine bottle, Qin Jingxu drank almost the remaining half of the drug, and the onset was obviously faster than that of Qin Chaoyan.
Qin Chaoyan frowned and helped him call Shu Ming.
After dialing and throwing away the phone, he stood up again, but his body shook slightly.
The anger just now passed, and it seemed to backfire more severely at this moment.
Qin Chaoyan’s breathing was disordered. He could only hold on to the wall and go back to the bathroom first, then rinse his face with cold water. At the same time, he took out his mobile phone, his fingers trembling slightly as he sent a message to Chen Jiang.
He suddenly remembered that Ye Rongxu brought a family doctor to the hotel, maybe… there was no need to go to the hospital.
In the corridor, Song Yangyang felt like he had survived a disaster when he saw that Qin Chaoyan didn’t beat him.
He patted his chest and was about to run away, but his eyes fell on Qin Jingxu, who was curled up on the ground with a painful expression.
Qin Chaoyan drank the spiked wine and was fine for so long, so the drug was probably average quality. Qin Jingxu should be fine too.
Although the Qin family has been declining in recent years, the Song family is worse than the Qin family.
Song Yangyang felt that this was a rare opportunity to please the Qin family. Although it’s better to curry favor with the Ye family, he isn’t Lin Jiaojiao, and it’s good enough that the Ye family doesn’t find him annoying. Besides, he had been taught a lesson by Ye Rongxu before, and he also hated him in his heart.
So he hurried forward, helped Qin Jingxu up, and said hypocritically: “Young Master Qin, are you okay? Alas, Ye Rongxu is really too much, and this Qin Chaoyan is also… Hey, hey, what are you doing?”
In the banquet hall, Ye Rongxu searched for Chen Jiang for a long time but couldn’t find him. When he was about to find someone else, he suddenly heard a scream outside the banquet hall.
Many people in the hall were silent, holding their wine glasses and turning their heads subconsciously.
Those who happened to be close to the door went out with wine glasses in their hands, and then they saw Qin Jingxu holding a little fat boy and chewing on him in the corridor not far away. Standing close to them was a handsome boy with red eyes, who seemed to be on the verge of tears.
The boy seemed to have come in a hurry, still panting, and pointed at Qin Jingxu with a shaking hand: “Qin Jingxu, you ask me to come just to let me see this?”
Hiss!
All the people who came out to watch took a breath, and then walked closer to watch with interest and enthusiasm.
In the banquet hall, Ye Rongxu wasn’t clear about the situation. He listened to the direction of the sound and subconsciously thought that Qin Chaoyan was there.
He was busy controlling his wheelchair to go out as well, and through the gap between the people, he managed to get a good look at the situation. His eyes widened in surprise.
How did Qin Jingxu kiss Song Yangyang? And isn’t that Shu Ming who’s standing there about to cry?
Ye Rongxu has never seen Shu Ming in reality, but he has seen him in his dreams.
The fact that someone he’d never met before, who had a name and a surname in his dreams, actually existed in reality made him even more convinced that the dream was real.
But how could Song Yangyang and Qin Jingxu…
While he was puzzled, the people watching nearby were also whispering–
“No wonder the engagement partner was changed. It seems that the eldest son of the Qin family was caught cheating.”
“The Ye family is really kind. They didn’t cancel the engagement directly, but just changed the engagement partner.”
“This eldest son of the Qin family is too unscrupulous. At the engagement banquet of his ex-fiancé…tsk tsk.”
Several rich second-generations also muttered: “So that’s the case. No wonder Song Yangyang kept praising Qin Jingxu before.”
The waiters hurried forward and tried to pull the two apart.
Ye Boxuan and Qin Qijiang, the organizers of the banquet, soon came out. Seeing this scene, Ye Boxuan’s face was obviously ugly, and Qin Qijiang almost fainted.
He strode forward, dragged Qin Jingxu over, and slapped him hard in the face.
“You bastard. The wine has made you go crazy! Wake up!”
Qin Jingxu woke up instantly, first seeing the furious Qin Qijiang, then his eyes turned stiffly, sweeping over the horrified Song Yangyang, the red-eyed Shu Ming, the unhappy Ye Boxuan, and the people watching and laughing not far away…
Instantly, he felt like a basin of ice water was poured over his head, his reason returned instantly, his hands and feet became weak, and he could hardly stand.
“No, I’m not…” His voice trembled.
Ye Rongxu watched the excitement for a while and suddenly remembered that Qin Chaoyan seemed to be in the bathroom.
Oh no, he hasn’t come out for so long; could he have fainted from vomiting?
He couldn’t find Chen Jiang, so after some hesitation, he controlled his wheelchair around the crowd and slowly drove to the bathroom.
Beside the sink, Qin Chaoyan was still rinsing his face with cold water, seemingly oblivious to the commotion outside.
When Ye Rongxu came in, he had just turned off the water and raised his hand to wipe the water droplets off his face.
Turning his head and seeing Ye Rongxu, who came in with a wheelchair, he was slightly stunned.
Seeing that his face was full of water and his clothes were mostly wet, Ye Rongxu couldn’t help but be surprised. “Did you vomit on yourself?”
Qin Chaoyan: “…”
He suddenly turned around, turned on the cold water again, and started to wash his hands.
The heat didn’t seem to cool down.
Ye Rongxu didn’t feel strange to see that he didn’t speak; after all, Qin Chaoyan was usually taciturn.
He drove the wheelchair, circled behind him, and mentioned what had just happened outside.
“By the way, guess what just happened? Qin Jingxu was hugging Song Yangyang outside just now. How could they have an affair?”
Ye Rongxu was puzzled and then continued to chatter: “Actually, when I saw them just now, I felt a little…” schadenfreude.
Not a little, but actually a lot.
Ye Rongxu marveled at their misfortune, then rambled on, “But this is not good. Alas, he saved me after all. Do you think I should…”
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a shadow shrouding him.
Qin Chaoyan turned off the water at some point, turned around, and was looking down at him.
Ye Rongxu subconsciously stopped talking.
The figure was close to him. Because of the water, the other person had a bit of coldness on him, and the slightly cool breath quickly enveloped him.
Ye Rongxu was slightly startled, and before he could come back to his senses, his chin was suddenly pinched.
