Chapter 637 - Chapter 637 Chapter 367 Some People Aren’t So Easily Provoked

Chapter 637: Chapter 367: Some People Aren’t So Easily Provoked Chapter 637: Chapter 367: Some People Aren’t So Easily Provoked Qin Xuan lowered her eyes, waiting like a victim for Li Hanzhou to take the glass of wine from her.

She had already spoken in such a low and humble voice. Even if Li Hanzhou didn’t like her, considering the Qin Family’s face, he should give her some dignity, right?

However, even as her hand holding the wine glass began to feel sore, Li Hanzhou had made no move.

Qin Xuan bit her lip and placed the two glasses of wine on the table, her tone full of grievance, “Brother Li, are you angry with me? I’ve realized my mistake and won’t force you into marrying me.”

When Qin Xuan had come over to find Li Hanzhou, the people in the private room had already quieted down, watching their exchange and waiting eagerly to gobble up the drama.

Now, hearing about the arranged marriage, they all speculated whether this was true or false–had Mister Li really agreed to marry Qin Xuan?

Each of them was dying to ask Li Hanzhou, but sadly, none of them dared to step forward.

Fortunately, Shen Qi lived up to everyone’s expectations. Upon hearing this, his eyes widened with surprise as he asked Li Hanzhou, “Wait, what’s going on here? I left Shangjing City for just a few months, and you’re getting married?”

Wasn’t Mister Li interested in Professor Qiao? Or had he gotten it wrong?

Upon hearing this, Li Hanzhou finally lifted his eyelids to look at Qin Xuan, his thin lips parting slightly, “Do I know you?”

Shen Qi raised an eyebrow, “You don’t know her? Is she trying to throw herself into your arms? Give up on that idea. You’d be better off liking me; at least I know how to cherish a beauty.”

Qin Xuan felt terrible– who was this guy, and couldn’t he shut up? Did he think of her as a plaything that could be bought and sold at will?

But Li Hanzhou’s words also made everyone understand.

Oh, so it seemed Miss Qin was harboring unrequited feelings, and Mister Li was completely ignoring her.

Surrounded by mocking glances, Qin Xuan felt her anger rising swiftly, wishing she could smash the glass right then and there.

But she knew that for the plan to succeed, she couldn’t act that way.

Qin Xuan took a deep breath, her expression becoming even more aggrieved, “I meant no harm. I just wanted to apologize, to drink this glass as if we’ve never met. I won’t pester you anymore.”

Li Hanzhou’s deep gaze fell on the two glasses on the table, his lips curling up slightly. His whole demeanor inexplicably took on a more sinister edge.

“You’re sure you want to offer me a drink?”

Qin Xuan replied, “I’m certain.”

Li Hanzhou nodded slightly, “Fine.”

No sooner had his words fallen than he picked up the glass and drained it before Qin Xuan could react.

A flash of delight crossed Qin Xuan’s face, and she too hurriedly picked up the glass in front of her and finished it.

Shen Qi looked at Qin Xuan, her face blooming with a smile, and his eyes filled with pity… He wondered how she had managed to offend Mister Li.

Shen Qi whispered to Li Hanzhou, “Brother Li, is this really okay?”

Li Hanzhou put down his glass, his eyes inscrutable, “Some people can’t just provoke someone because they want to.”

Shen Qi seemed to understand but did not ask further. After all, it was not his business, and if Qin Xuan had no ill intentions, nothing would happen.

If something did happen, it would be her own doing.

After offering the drink, Qin Xuan prudently sat to one side, her gaze intensely fixed on Li Hanzhou, waiting for an opportunity.

After sitting for a while, she inexplicably felt her body becoming hot and started to feel dry-mouthed.

“Miss Qin, have you drunk too much? Do you want me to take you outside for some air?”

A male voice reached her ear, making Qin Xuan feel even more uncomfortable…

…

When Qin Xuan woke up, she felt completely drained and it took her a while to come to her senses. She couldn’t recall what had happened.

She looked around; she was in a suite in a hotel.

The curtains were drawn tight, dimming the light inside the room.

Despite that, she still realized there was someone lying beside her.

Qin Xuan’s mind, which had been in disarray, instantly cleared, and she felt an overwhelming joy.

Had she succeeded?

Even though she didn’t know how she had arrived in the hotel room, it didn’t matter, because she had succeeded, hadn’t she?

With that thought, Qin Xuan’s heart instantly filled with sweetness.

She shyly pursed her lips, her soft, boneless hand reaching out to the person sleeping beside her. Just as her hand touched his, the person beside her immediately grasped it.

Qin Xuan, who was quite open by nature, felt elated at the response from the person she liked and immediately pounced on him, wanting to kiss him.

At that moment, the man spoke, “So enthusiastic this early in the morning?”

Qin Xuan was startled and then abruptly sat up, slapping the room’s light on.

The next second, she was petrified, and after a long while, she screamed, “Ahhh! Who are you?”

The man was startled by Qin Xuan’s scream.

Qin Xuan was both shocked and furious, “What have you done to me! You rapist!”

The man was annoyed upon hearing this, “Last night you were the one clinging to me non-stop; there are plenty of people who can testify to that. How can you deny knowing me now?”

“Impossible! I clung to you? It must have been you who forced me!” Qin Xuan’s voice trembled.

Given the current situation, she guessed everything that shouldn’t have happened had already taken place.

She felt dizzy and disoriented, wondering how things could have turned out this way. What exactly went wrong?

The man got out of bed, lifting the cover, and said with contempt, “You’re the one who forced me, okay? If it weren’t for you being so passionate, I wouldn’t have succumbed to you.”

His gaze almost openly said, Miss Qin sure is easy.

Qin Xuan felt a blockage in her heart, her eyes rimmed red with fury as she yelled, “You’re talking nonsense, it’s all ruined, I’ll kill you! Give me Li Hanzhou back!”

The man was frightened by Qin Xuan’s crazed behavior.

Just as Qin Xuan was fuming with anger, the door to the room was suddenly thrown open.

A group of people burst in, led by Liu Yuxi, who, upon seeing her fiance and Qin Xuan in a disheveled state, burst into tears immediately.

“You, you shameless adulterers!”

She didn’t dare offend Qin Xuan but couldn’t swallow her pride either, so she turned and ran off.

Qin Xuan hadn’t even reacted before being branded an adulteress by Liu Yuxi, and the man who had forced her, seeing Liu Yuxi running away, yelled out, “Listen to my explanation,” while chasing after her.

Those who stayed on this floor were all people of considerable status, and with the Qin Family having hosted such a high-profile banquet the day before yesterday, who wouldn’t recognize Qin Xuan.

Seeing this scene, what else was there to misunderstand?

A disapproving onlooker scorned, “Of all things to do, why become a mistress?”

Qin Xuan shivered all over with indignation, “I am not a mistress! I didn’t, I was forced!”

“Nonsense, several of us saw it, you were the one hanging onto him, insisting that he take you with him.”

“Exactly, I saw it too, and you were saying how much you liked him, loved him, wanted to marry him.”

“It was you who seduced him first.”

Qin Xuan was entirely confused; she had no memory of the previous day, her last memory being of that glass of wine.

Qin Xuan’s expression froze, her pupils constricting.

Right, the wine!

It was Li Hanzhou who had drunk the spiked drink, so how did it end up affecting her!
