Chapter 494: Chapter 494 Sign it

He Jingyao seemed to smile, “If that’s the case, why did you insist on attending the banquet a few days ago?”

Su Zixi stammered, “Because… because I thought my method was easier to implement, and it wouldn’t cost much…”

“You’re right,” he nodded appreciatively, “so I should thank you.”

After speaking, the man stuffed another shrimp into her mouth.

Su Zixi suddenly felt… that she was actually quite impressive, having managed to save this endangered major project with just a pair of shoes!

She really could help him!

***

At the same moment, at the Ning Family’s home.

Ning Yichen sat on the sofa, legs crossed, holding an agreement.

The morning sun shone through the window, partly casting him in light and the other half in shadow.

When Su Lianxi woke up, this was the scene she saw.

She rubbed her aching temples, staring blankly at Ning Yichen sitting there, almost thinking she was dreaming.

But then… she closed her eyes, and the throbbing pain in her mind made her realize, this was not a dream.

“Why am I here?” she asked, her voice hoarse.

Right, why was she here?

Su Lianxi clearly remembered that she had been at the President Mansion’s banquet, waiting to watch Su Zixi embarrass herself…

Wait a minute!

Suddenly, some vague memories flashed in her mind. It seemed like someone was shouting and laughing… running around the table, looking utterly foolish…

Su Lianxi shuddered violently!

That was… that was her! She had become delirious only minutes after drinking that blackcurrant juice!

But how could that be possible! She clearly remembered checking her drink. The cup was clean, with no trace of anything!

Ning Yichen finally moved.

He uncrossed his legs, stood up, and slowly walked towards her.

“You’re awake?” his smile could even be described as tender.

Su Lianxi felt a bit dazed… the last time Ning Yichen spoke to her so tenderly seemed like a past life ago, a very distant memory.

Her eyes slightly moistened, her wildly beating heart calming slightly, she forced a smile, “Yichen, what happened to me yesterday?”

“You accidentally drank a juice laced with hallucinogens,” Ning Yichen smiled, “don’t you remember?”

Su Lianxi trembled softly, “Who was it? Who did this to me?”

Ning Yichen laughed scornfully.

“Su Lianxi, I really admire you,” his eyes twinkled with mocking contempt, “can you still play innocent now? Did you think the process of you drugging the drink would go unnoticed?”

Su Lianxi’s face flushed!

She then realized her actions from yesterday in drugging the juice had too many flaws, easily giving others a hold over her. But she had been too scared at the moment! In her impetuosity, she hadn’t even considered the consequences.

But, but it should have been Su Zixi going crazy, not her!

“… Yichen, I didn’t mean to, I… ”

“Shut up,” Ning Yichen’s voice was soft, tinged with weariness. He tossed the agreement before her, speaking lightly, “Sign it.”

Su Lianxi’s hands trembled slightly, suddenly feeling an ominous premonition!

She pursed her lips, trembling as she held the document in her hand—the prominent title on the front page was like daggers to her eyes, and even more painful to her heart!
