Chapter 226 - Bad, Bad Cookie!

Flashback

A towering man was seen dragging a woman forcefully who was shouting hysterically and calling names. Her speech was slurry due to overconsumption of alcohol, she was staggering in her high heels.

"Lucifer! You bastard!! I hate you!! Do you hear me? I hate you!!", she cursed out loud embarrassing the man.

"Shut up!! I said shut your mouth! Or else I'll throw you into that fountain..", he bellowed tired of her tantrums. She whimpered, a cute little pout resting on her red mouth.

A riled up Ethan was pulling a drunk Xia Ruo Lan towards his car. He was holding her firmly in a back hug, her voluptuous body hoisted in the air so that she doesn't run away and cause anymore troubles.

After successfully seating the tantrum-throwing-princess into the passenger seat, all snug and cozy Ethan prepared to buckle up her seatbelt in case she tumbles down and hits her head in drunken state.

Xia Ruo Lan looked at him with her glossed over eyes, his throat went dry when she sniffed like a wronged child.

"You're all bullies!", she squeaked sitting comfortably with her back resting against the seat, his eyes twitched and forehead creased into fine black lines.

Immediately averting his shaky gaze from the little seductress he struggled to compose himself.

"Stop looking at me like that!", he hissed, she didn't budge and her intense gaze gave him goosebumps.

Ethan could feel cold sweat on his back, his fingers shivering as he tried to secure the seatbelt. Xia Ruo Lan leaned closer inspite of his glares, his breathing hitched at their close proximity.

At last Ethan managed to secure her tightly onto the seat. He raised his head to pull back and their foreheads touched intimately. Shocked, he leaned back to create some distance between them.

When Xia Ruo Lan saw him moving backwards, her hands reached out to grab the lapels of his black suit. His step faltered and eyes went wide in surprise.

"I love you.. *sniff* *sniff* I love you.. L ", she whispered softly, her warm breath mixed with the scent of alcohol landed on his shivering lips. Even before she could finish her jumbled sentence, his hand clamped her mouth shut.

"Ugh..", she still mumbled incoherent words with her mouth shut.

Ethan felt a huge headache when dealing with this little drunk kitten who had suddenly transformed into a seductive sphinx, still irritating.

He heaved a heavy sigh in relief when her woozy eyes fluttered shut, her small face plopped on the side and he rushed to hold it, carefully placing it back.

"Things I do for my bestfriend!", he muttered dragging his long legs to the driver's seat, gnashing his teeth.

Feeling the heat, he hurriedly removed the upper coat and threw it onto the backseat, fanning his face with his hands. His thin white custom made shirt underlining his taut muscles.

The car started moving at a fast pace, Ethan's eyes were focused on the road while Xia Ruo Lan was sleeping soundly.

"I love.. you.. L love", she mumbled groggily with drool dripping down her mouth, he chuckled at her disoriented state.

Driving to the hotel owned by the Changs, Ethan scooped Xia Ruo Lan into his arms as he entered through the private elevator. She snuggled closer into his warm embrace and rubbed her drooling face. He scowled at the sight, his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

Swiping the key card, Ethan carried her inside the presidential suite solely reserved for him. Strolling ahead in steady steps, he placed her onto the king size fluffy bed with ivory and gold details.

"All done!", he mumbled with satisfaction, her hands still wound around his neck.

Ethan straightened his back but was tugged back to her, the deathly grip around his neck tightening. She purred like a kitten, rubbing her face on his arms.

His back turned stiff, feet glued to the ground as he gazed at her small face, straight eyebrows, full lips, little nose and plump cheeks. Gulping his spit, he tried to unclasp her hold when she puked all over him.

"What the actual fuck!!", he sputtered, his face scrunched up into an ugly expression. The gross liquid on his shirt made his insides churn with disgust.

Oblivious to her absurd actions a blissful Xia Ruo Lan smiled faintly. Her red lips curving upwards appeared as though she was unintentionally mocking Ethan.

Ethan threw away Xia Ruo Lan's arms harshly feeling icky all over his body and she fell back onto the bed with a bounce.

"Xia Ruo Lan!!!", he cried in fury, his eyes burning red with smoke coming out of his ears. He was shuddering in rage.

Her exquisite qipao themed dress was filthy with remnants of her vomit while his shoulder and front was soaking wet.

Swiftly taking off his shirt with a nauseating feeling, Ethan threw it onto the floor glaring daggers at the sleeping kitten on the bed. Her beautiful face devoid of any slightest feelings of guilt or penitent.

"Is this how my day's gonna end? As if the night wasn't less eventful to begin with..", he grumbled, his head throbbing with intense pain while his hands were itching to strangle Xia Ruo Lan.

"I should probably help her change, right?", he asked himself unsure of what to do.

His eyes darting to the mess, a sickening sensation rising from his gut made his face turn uglier than ever.

"I can't, this is so grosss..!!", he cried without tears, breathing deeply he raised his fists high in the air and cheered himself before striding towards the bed.

With one hand on his nose he attempted to take off her 'complicated' dress with his other hand. The dress had a concealed zip at the side, which he was trying to find at the back. Defeated, he gritt his teeth in pique and counted to three in a low growl.

"One.. Two.. Three..!", her dress was ripped into half, with a victorious smile on his face he looked at the other half in his hand before his smile cracked.

Xia Ruo Lan's smooth, unblemished body came into his view rendering him numb and speechless. Pulling the blankets to cover her body, he rushed forward.

Unfortunately Ethan lost his balance and fell face forward on her chest, his head buzzed while he felt a stream of electricity in his body. His nose was engulfed in her feminine fragrance, his face turned beet red and he couldn't breathe.

Xia Ruo Lan stirred uncomfortably feeling the weight on her body, her eyebrows scrunched while eyes were fluttering, struggling to open.

Ethan froze, looking at Xia Ruo Lan opening her eyes.

"Cookie! So fragrant.. Cookie", she squeaked in delight as his faint vanilla scent wafted her nostrils.

Xia Ruo Lan's hands involuntarily reached out to hold Ethan's distorted face in her drunken stupor. Her eyes resembling crescents as she smiled at him.

Overcome by an ominous feeling he immediately sat up, his actions were a second later than Xia Ruo Lan who unhappily bit hard on his shoulder with a devious smile.

"Aaaaaaaahh!", he cried, tears welled up in his eyes from the gigantic pain on his bare shoulder as her teeth dug his flesh ruthlessly.

"Bad cookie! Bad, bad cookie", she mumbled groggily after having her fill and fell back to sleep.
