C95

Early the next morning, the sun shone through the half-hidden window into the hotel bedroom's big bed, where a man and a woman lay in a embrace.

The moment Qin Yu opened his eyes, he discovered that there was an additional person in his embrace.

A woman.

The woman was lying on his arm, on his side. Although her back was facing Qin Yu, Qin Yu still recognized that she was Hu Yuefei with a single glance.

Qin Yu suddenly retracted his arm, and his forehead violently throbbed twice.

He tried his best to recall what happened last night in his mind, but his memories seemed to be missing a piece. No matter how hard he tried, his memories of last night all came to an end when he left the dining hall and went to pick up Hu Yuefei at the intersection.

What happened next, he just couldn't remember.

He scanned the room warily.

Looking at the layout of the room, it seemed to be a hotel suite.

But last night, he was clearly going to take Hu Yuefei for a walk on the Bund, why would he come to the hotel in the end? And why was he hugging Hu Yuefei?

Qin Yu pinched the center of his eyebrows impatiently. The moment he lowered his head, his mind suddenly flashed with a few fragmented images. However, those images were too fragmented and blurry, like the scenes in a dream.

I think he did run into a woman last night...

Qin Yu frowned, and turned to look at Hu Yuefei.

At this moment, Hu Yuefei just happened to wake up as well. She looked straight into Qin Yu's eyes, which were slightly avoiding his gaze, but very quickly she looked straight at him, and said shyly and timidly: "Last night, we, last night …"

Her words were halting, but as she spoke the quilt slipped from her shoulders, revealing her neck and large collarbones, which bore a few fresh red marks.

Qin Yu's gaze lingered on the few red marks, and suddenly felt that they were especially glaring.

When he woke up in the morning, he and Hu Yuefei was almost naked in each other's arms. Hu Yuefei's body also had a lot of red and purple marks.

However, a person's memories would not disappear for no reason. Furthermore, he had always been on guard against Hu Yuefei, so if he was awake last night, then he would definitely not touch Hu Yuefei.

He could roughly guess that she had been tricked last night, that when Hu Yuefei had gotten into his car, the only thing that had changed was the perfume on his car.

Hu Yuefei had intentionally placed the perfume bottle on his car.

It was likely that the reason why the fragrance he smelled was especially strong was because Hu Yuefei did something to it. She deliberately used the perfume to mask the knockout drug that had evaporated with the perfume.

It was not a brilliant plan, but it worked because he had been careless.

Since Qin Yu was young, he had never suffered such a loss. What was even more unbearable was that he actually touched Hu Yuefei …

Even though he had always said that he didn't like Bai Nianxi, ever since he was certain that she was Lin Xi, in his heart, Bai Nianxi was not only his nominal fiancée. She was also the only wife that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.

But now he had touched another woman! He had betrayed her!

He could not imagine what Lin Xi would think if she knew about this. Are you sad, or … Hate him?

Qin Yu looked at Hu Yuefei with a cold gaze. He suddenly extended her hand out towards Hu Yuefei's neck, but suddenly stopped halfway.

The hand that was tensing its veins and wanted to grab onto Hu Yuefei's neck to interrogate her suddenly lost its strength midway and could only gently brush the hair in front of Hu Yuefei's forehead.

He still could not touch Hu Yuefei.

There were many people in the Qin family who coveted for the position of the person in charge. Originally, the person in charge this time should have been his father. After his father passed away due to illness, his grandfather had given him the position of the person in charge right before he passed away.

Because this inheritance had surpassed his uncles' generation, there were many people in the Qin family who were secretly and overtly dissatisfied with him.

In these past few years, although Qin Yu had already cleared up most of the opposition, there had always been a person hidden very deeply behind their back. Qin Yu was unable to find the identity of the opposing party.

As long as he could not find that person, his surroundings would become extremely dangerous. Just like when he recorded "48 Hours in the Wilderness", it was possible that someone could appear in front of him with a gun at any time.

He had never dared to reveal his concern for Bai Nianxi because he was afraid that the person hiding behind him would follow him and sense that she was Lin Xi.

If the other party knew that he loved her and cared about her more than his life, then when they could not do anything to him, they would definitely set their sights on Bai Nianxi.

The Qin’s family was thriving with people, but their affection towards each other was thin, and they could do anything for each other. Before he found the opposition that was hiding behind him, he did not want Lin Xi to get involved and be implicated by him.

Lin Xi was his weakness, the fatal point in one of his attacks, and also the one that was the most vulnerable to attacks and attacks.

Last night, he was tricked by Hu Yuefei. Although there was one reason why he was careless, it also meant that Hu Yuefei and the person behind her could not be underestimated.

This time, they could let him be careless and successfully make a move against him. Then, the next time they thought of attacking Lin Xi, they could smoothly succeed as well.

He purposely did not acknowledge that Bai Nianxi was indeed Lin Xi, and intentionally doted on Hu Yuefei who pretended to be Lin Xi. The reason he did that was to hide Bai Nianxi's real identity, so that she wouldn't be harmed because of him.

When he was very young, his mother had accidentally died because someone had taken her away to threaten his father.

Those people had taken his mother away because, despite his good character, his father had always been gentle and romantic to his wife. No matter how many lovers he had outside, he would always play the role of a good husband. So in the eyes of outsiders, Mom was the most special one for Dad.

They decided that their mother was their father's weakness, so they grabbed her to threaten their father for benefits.

However, his father, the person who was usually punctual enough to go home and eat dinner, was late when he rescued his mother. His mother had left him forever.

He did not want Lin Xi to become her second victim again.

Before he found out who the mastermind was, he still needed to rely on Hu Yuefei to protect Lin Xi, which was why he had to patiently play along with Hu Yuefei.

Right now, it was not the time to fall out with Hu Yuefei, and the show had to continue on.

Qin Yu hid the emotions from his eyes, and his gaze returned to its normal calm, as he explained to himself: "I suddenly had a headache just now, and scared you?"

Hu Yuefei was truly shocked.

When Qin Yu extended his hand out towards her, the way he looked at her made Hu Yuefei think that he wanted to kill her.

Fortunately, he suddenly had a headache and wanted to help her brush her hair.

Hu Yuefei still had some lingering fear in her heart, but on the surface, she pretended to be calm and shook her head.

Qin Yu paused for a moment, then asked her: "I don't remember what happened last night, when we finished eating, didn't we say we were going to the Bund for a walk? Why did you come to the hotel? "

When Hu Yuefei heard him ask about what happened last night, her eyes couldn't help but flicker.

Last night, Bai Nianxi's sudden appearance had disrupted her original plan. Everything happened so quickly. When she went back to 1808, she only had enough time to knock Bai Nianxi out and leave her alone in her room. Then, she brought Qin Yu with her and hurried to the 21st floor.

At that time, the medicine on Qin Yu's body was almost over. She had no choice but to make some green and purple marks on his body, forge a kiss mark, take off each other's clothes, and sleep in a embrace so that Qin Yu would think that he was the one who was in love with her last night.

She knew that with Qin Yu's shrewdness, he would definitely notice the abnormality last night and would even suspect her. Therefore, she had prepared an excuse for herself in the middle of the night, waiting for Qin Yu to come ask her.

She replied, "Last night, when I got in your car, I realized that something was wrong with you, but I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. I just thought you might be tired, so I switched seats with you and let me drive.

When we got near the Eden Hotel, you said that you had a headache and were feeling a bit uncomfortable, so you told me to find a place for you to get off the carriage and rest for a while. I saw that you didn't look too good, so I wanted to send you to the hospital, but you rejected me.

"Originally, I only wanted to stay by your side and take care of you, but …" As she said that, her voice suddenly became softer. She deliberately tilted her head to look at the "kiss mark" on her shoulder before continuing, "Finally, we'll end up like this."

Hu Yuefei continued to observe Qin Yu's expression as she spoke.

Initially, she was full of confidence, she thought with Qin Yu's feelings towards her, he would definitely believe her words, but now that she was actually facing Qin Yu, she suddenly became nervous and uncertain.

From the moment Qin Yu had asked the question to the time he had finished listening to her reply, his expression had not changed one bit and he was not sure just how much he believed his.

She said tentatively, "But I don't think it was an accident that you were suddenly upset last night. We didn't drink at dinner last night, but you were in a slightly dazed state. You said just now that you don't remember last night … This symptom, it seems like it was drugged. "

Hu Yuefei continued to speak: "Last night's incident happened after eating, I suspect that someone had put some kind of knockout medicine in your food or tea, that's why you're unconscious."

She, Qin Yu and Bai Nianxi were the only ones who were eating at the table last night. If Qin Yu really trusted her, then the person that he thought was taking the medicine would be Bai Nianxi.

Hu Yuefei quietly waited for Qin Yu's answer.

Regarding the matter of him being drugged last night, Qin Yu had already made his own decision long ago. Perhaps he had really touched Hu Yuefei last night, but the person who drugged him definitely wasn't Bai Nianxi.

But in order to not alert his, Qin Yu could only pretend to trust Hu Yuefei completely. Since Hu Yuefei wanted to push the responsibility to Bai Nianxi, he went along with her words: "Are you saying that the one who did this was Bai Nianxi?"

"I also don't want to be a petty person," Hu Yuefei continued to throw stones at him and said, "But there is something that I only realized after thinking about it. Yesterday, after we finished eating, Nian Xi probably had something to say to you, but in the end, you followed me to the Bund …"

At this point, she paused, "What I mean is, if it wasn't for me wanting to go to the Bund on a whim last night, maybe you would have stayed with her all night. So, could it be that she didn't want to play games with you and wanted to be the real 'Mrs. Qin', which was why she did this in your tea?"

Qin Yu listened to Hu Yuefei's logical and strict words. If she hadn't suspected her from the very beginning, he might really have been fooled by her.

Qin Yu's face sank, and said: "I will get someone to investigate properly."

Hu Yuefei saw that his face did not look good, and thought that she was having an affair with Bai Nianxi, and was secretly rejoicing in her heart.

As expected, Qin Yu loved him a lot, so he believed what he said with just a few words.

At the same time, she also felt a bit of guilt in her heart — — Qin Yu trusted her, but she had no choice but to use his trust to deceive him.

However, she had to do it because she had no other choice. She swore that once she had done all that she needed to do, she would make up for it by many times over.

Hu Yuefei gently placed her hand on her abdomen. Although her plans were ruined by Bai Nianxi last night, it was a good thing that she still got the result she wanted.

After a while, she spread the news that she was pregnant. On behalf of a child, she believed that the Old Madem Qin would definitely not stop Qin Yu from canceling the engagement with Bai Nianxi anymore. At that time, she would naturally be able to replace him and become the true Mrs. Qin.
