Chapter 126: Chapter 126 Sun Feifei Gets Drunk

```

By the time Sun Feifei came back to her senses, she realized that she had unwittingly walked to the foot of the apartment building where Ning Yuan lived.

Gazing at the antique-style apartment building, Sun Feifei’s eyes showed a constant change of emotions.

Among the people she knew, the only one who could help her through this crisis was none other than Ning Yuan.

The penthouse apartment.

Ning Yuan stood to one side of the floor-to-ceiling window with Yan Yi on the other, Ning Yuan holding a glass of wine as resplendent as a ruby, while Yan Yi had a cup of tea with wisps of remaining smoke.

Both were watching Sun Feifei on the street opposite the apartment building.

Ning Yuan’s tone was teasing, "You guessed right, she really came."

Yan Yi’s expression was indifferent, revealing no true emotion.

Knowing Yan Yi well, Ning Yuan understood that he was genuinely angry this time, so he said, "Tell me what you want me to do to vent your anger for that Miss Shen?"

"Whatever you want."

Hearing his response, Ning Yuan’s smile was filled with meaning.

Tsk, deliberately not contradicting him, seems like he’s really taken it to heart.

——

Ten minutes later.

Sun Feifei stepped into the apartment and, after seeing the size of its interior along with the luxurious decoration, her face clearly showed shock.

This top-floor apartment was a complete open-plan layout, a full story, as magnificent as any stand-alone villa or mansion.

"Take a seat. The maid didn’t come to clean up these last few days, so it’s a bit messy, don’t mind. What would you like to drink?"

Gazing at Ning Yuan’s handsome and charming smiling face, Sun Feifei’s eyes reddened and tears began to fall, dropping down like crystal clear beads onto the floor, paired with her innocent appearance, it was quite pitiable.

Ning Yuan, ever the gentleman, took out a handkerchief and passed it to her, but Sun Feifei grabbed his hand instead.

"Ning Yuan, can you please help me?"

Ning Yuan pretended to be clueless, "Don’t cry. What’s the matter, huh? Speak up."

Sun Feifei took the opportunity to throw herself into his arms, tearily relating the troubles she had encountered.

"...It was Zhao Fang’s idea. She was angry about being tricked by Shen Mingzhu last time and wanted to teach Shen Mingzhu a lesson. At the time, I don’t know what got into me, I actually just did as Zhao Fang suggested. I dare not go home, my dad has been strict with me since I was little, he will definitely kill me if he finds out what I did..."

Ning Yuan gently grasped her shoulders, his eyes smiling as he asked, "How would you like me to help you, huh?"

Sun Feifei hung her head, looking very ashamed, "I, I don’t know what to do now, but I want to apologize to Yan Yi first. I really regret what I did..."

"That’s easy, leave it to me. In a few days, I’ll find a chance for you to meet Yan Yi."

Thrilled, Sun Feifei’s face lit up, but inside she was in a rush.

In a few days time, it would all be too late. She had to find someone to smooth things over before the school decided on a punishment for her.

While Ning Yuan went to make her coffee, Sun Feifei’s gaze rapidly swept around the apartment. The more she looked, the more she felt it was grand, elegant, and tasteful, with every piece of furniture or decoration exuding luxury.

Sun Feifei’s eyes settled on Ning Yuan, as she quickly weighed the pros and cons in her mind.

When Ning Yuan brought the freshly made coffee to her, she instead requested a drink.

Though surprised, Ning Yuan still got up to get the glasses and red wine, and thoughtfully dialed to have the restaurant deliver some snacks.

"Ning Yuan, Ning Yuan..."

"Feifei, you’re drunk."

Ning Yuan lazily looked at Sun Feifei, who was leaning against him, and said teasingly.

Sun Feifei lifted her flushed face, her eyes dreamily falling on Ning Yuan’s thin lips, and slowly, she brought her lips closer.

The night passed.

The next day, when Sun Feifei woke up on the unfamiliar big bed, there was no one beside her.

She sat up, hugging the silk quilt, and called for Ning Yuan several times without response, her face inevitably showing disappointment.

Dressing herself, she first called home to reassure her family, then she waited in the apartment for Ning Yuan to return.

```

Ning Yuan didn’t return to the apartment until three in the afternoon.

"Where have you been?"

Meeting Sun Feifei’s resentful gaze, Ning Yuan carelessly tossed his keys onto the console, smiling as he sauntered toward her.

His voice was languid, "Why didn’t you sleep a bit longer?"

"It’s already afternoon, I couldn’t possibly sleep all day."

Unconcerned, Ning Yuan sat down on the sofa, unbuttoning his coat, and said, "I thought you women always get more tired after your first time and sleep longer."

Sun Feifei’s face stiffened, her voice shrill, "What do you mean by that!?"

What did he mean by always getting more tired and sleeping longer? Could it be that he’d slept with many women?

Ning Yuan stood up and embraced her, his tone soothing, but his words sent a chill through Sun Feifei.

"Feifei, we’re all adults here. Isn’t it normal for it to be consensual?"

Seeing Sun Feifei’s incredulous stare, Ning Yuan had an innocent face, "You were so passionate last night, and very proactive. I thought you understood the rules of the game for adults, and moreover..."

Ning Yuan teasingly hooked her chin, "Didn’t you enjoy last night?"

Sun Feifei burst into tears, "Last night was my first time!"

Ning Yuan looked enlightened, "Alright, how would you like me to compensate you?"

"What?!"

Ning Yuan looked at her, his eyes holding a hint of amusement, "Feifei, I’m not a good man, but I’ve always been generous with women. As long as your request isn’t too excessive, I can fulfill it."

Pushing him away in anger, Sun Feifei said, "I’m not the casual woman you think I am! You’ve been keeping close contact with me recently, asking me out for meals and movies. I thought you liked me, and I also confirmed my feelings for you, that’s why I... that’s why I took it to this level with you..."

"Feifei, I do like you..."

Hearing his confession, Sun Feifei barely had time to show her joy when she heard—

"But I also like other women who are as gentle and beautiful as you. I’ve told you, I’m one to pity and cherish the fairer sex. Whenever I see a woman’s tears..."

Ning Yuan lifted a finger to wipe the tears from Sun Feifei’s face, his expression full of tenderness, "Just like how you are now, I can’t help but want to comfort you."

Sun Feifei’s complexion slowly turned pale.

At this moment, she finally understood that against a Casanova like Ning Yuan, she was no match.

"So, have you thought about what you want?"

"I don’t want anything."

Sun Feifei turned her head away, feigning fortitude, unaware of the fading interest and disappointment in Ning Yuan’s eyes.

Originally, he had wanted to play with Miss Sun for a few more days, but now he had completely lost the will, only eager to finish things swiftly and send her away.

"How about this, Feifei, let me help you with your job situation, okay?"

Getting what she wanted, Sun Feifei did not stay any longer to be further humiliated. She picked up her purse and prepared to leave.

But as she reached the door, Ning Yuan called out to her.

"What’s this?"

Seeing the medicine Ning Yuan handed her, Sun Feifei looked puzzled.

"It’s emergency contraception I got from a friend, just in case. After all, if something did happen, you would be the one to get hurt."

Sun Feifei took the medicine, placed it in her mouth in front of Ning Yuan, and then turned to leave.

Upon exiting Ning Yuan’s apartment, Sun Feifei instinctively looked back, noticing Ning Yuan didn’t follow, she lowered her head and spat the medicine into the palm of her hand.

Having walked a good distance from the apartment building, Sun Feifei stopped, gazed at the pill in her hand with a fluctuating expression.

A moment later, she tossed the pill into a roadside trash bin.

Two days later.

Sun Feifei received a termination notice from the school. She had been dismissed.
