Chapter 53
That was the beginning, when Jiang Yan obtained the contact information from Lu Enen.
Yan Xiao furrowed his brow, pondering for a long time, but he was still certain that he had never met Jiang Yan.
But then he suddenly recalled something. When he was still immersed in gaming, his younger cousin Jiang Jinqian had made a deal with him. He helped Yan Xiao earn a star, in exchange for Yan Xiao adding him as a friend.
Yan Xiao called to ask about it, and to his surprise, the child remembered it quite clearly, telling him: "That was Enen's sister, she wanted to be your friend."
Enen? Yan Xiao instantly thought of Jiang Yan's sister.
So the online romance, the so-called gradual affection, were all premeditated. They just wanted to play with him.
He even stood in her shoes, making excuses for her. He didn't even know how many fish he had in his pond!
Sister, you really are, something else.
...
Jiang Yan didn't know the danger that was about to come, and she was still immersed in the joys of socializing, even getting a bit tipsy from the fruit wine.
Until, one by one, the people she was playing with had to leave for various reasons. She mindlessly tossed down the cards in her hand, suddenly feeling the surroundings become unnaturally quiet.
The people who were playing pool, dancing, and gaming - they had all disappeared. It was as if the clubhouse was left with just her alone.
Yan Xiao was sitting on the sofa across from her, his long, slender legs arrogantly propped up. He already had the imposing presence of the Yan family.
Just sitting there, coldly watching as she realized everyone had left, whimpering: "Why~ didn't anyone tell me, they all left."
The clubhouse had indeed been cleared out, with only Yan Xiao and her remaining. Gu Ziyi seemed to have noticed something, and before leaving, he gave Yan Xiao a stern look, cautioning him not to kill anyone.
A futile gesture.
Yan Xiao simply wanted to see her wake up in shock, and then force her to apologize and admit her mistake. As for the final punishment, that would depend on her performance.
But Yan Xiao's methods always go awry when it comes to Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan's drunkenness hadn't worn off yet, and she wobbled as she stood up, groping her way towards the exit.
The young master Yan sternly reprimanded her, ordering her to sit back down, but to a drunken person, all his words were just empty sounds.
She groped about, hazy-eyed, trying to make her way out, almost stumbling over the thick carpet when Yan Xiao had to reach out to steady her.
But as soon as someone came to support her, the drunken woman immediately went limp, leaning her entire body against Yan Xiao, lazily yawning and closing her eyes.
"You lazy bum! Wake up!" Yan Xiao, who had inadvertently become her crutch, exclaimed in exasperation.
Jiang Yan's sleep was as light as ever, and upon hearing the sound, she opened her hazy, peach blossom eyes, looking at him in a state between drunkenness and sobriety.
Yan Xiao was suddenly struck by her eyes, the words he wanted to say getting stuck in his throat.
After finally opening her eyes but not getting a response, Jiang Yan slowly shifted her body, adjusting her position to get more comfortable. Her shoulder leaned against Yan Xiao's torso, and she reached out to grab his arm, like a small sloth unwilling to walk.
Their distance was too close, and Yan Xiao could even feel the shape of Jiang Yan's nose tip, not to mention the warm breath she was exhaling.
Yan Xiao abruptly turned his head away, not wanting to be influenced by her, enunciating each word as he called her name: "Lu, Jiang, Yan."
Jiang Yan did indeed wake up again, but this time she seemed a bit annoyed, her small hands reaching up to his neck, gently pulling him down.
The two of them were like wrestling.
Yan Xiao furrowed his brow, forced to lower his head, but the next moment, a soft sensation touched his chin, warm and lively, like a small flower blooming.
Yan Xiao was stunned for a moment, desperately wanting to look into Jiang Yan's eyes to see if she was clearheaded, but the drunken woman seized the opportunity, her cherry-red lips this time not missing their target, precisely capturing the rose. She nibbled on him like a small animal without any finesse, sticking out her tongue to taste the flavor, then contentedly closing her eyes.
This action was too fast.
The young master Yan came back to his senses, absolutely furious! For the first time in his life, he cursed: "Jiang Yan, do you know who the fuck I am?"
"Which of the fish in my pond did you kiss?!"
"Wake up!"
But this time, no matter how much he yelled, Jiang Yan remained motionless.
Yan Xiao placed the woman back on the sofa, staring at the sleeping Lu Jiang Yan, his face shifting between blue and white, not knowing what he was brooding about.
In the end, as if trying to cover it up, he fiercely wiped his lips and cursed, "You shameless woman."
The young master Yan, who had originally come for revenge, ended up leaving in the end, his expression a bit off, gritting his teeth like a pitiful young girl who had been wronged.
Jiang Yan had no idea that she had narrowly escaped a crisis in her drunken slumber, because she had blacked out. Those few cups of fruit wine couldn't have knocked her out for so long - it was because she had secretly tasted the fiery liquor of the red-haired young lady.
It was all because of the drunkenness that trouble was brewed.
The oblivious Jiang Yan went home and took a nice, refreshing bath.
When she was changing into her comfortable pajamas, ready to go to bed, Lu Enen came bounding in, holding an invitation.
"Sister! Dad and Mom said we should go visit as guests."
Jiang Yan opened it up, and it was an invitation to the Gu family's birthday party. Probably for one of the younger generation, since the Gu patriarch had entrusted it to them.
Jiang Yan happened to be free on that day, so she agreed to take Enen with her to play.
