Chapter 570: Chapter 570: The Second Brother Loses His Inhibition After Drinking_1

Qi Cheng held Ji Yunhuan’s hand and said, "Let’s go back."

"Let’s not tell Second Sister-in-law about this right now."

"If you tell her now, will she believe you?"

With her personality, Second Sister-in-law would only think they were making excuses. Anyway, she already hated Ji Yunhuan.

Moreover, that day at the Shi Family’s, Second Sister-in-law had treated Ji Yunhuan so harshly; they didn’t want to help her either.

Let her deal with Lin Xiang herself!

From what Ji Yunhuan knew about Lin Xiang, once Lin Xiang had her eye on someone, she wouldn’t give up easily.

...

Second Brother was tired and sleepy; he went straight to a hotel and booked a room. Unlike Eldest Brother and Qi Cheng, he didn’t have any other place to stay in City A. Every time he came back, he would only stay at home because he was a family-oriented person.

At the hotel, Second Brother collapsed onto the bed and fell asleep.

When he woke up, he found Lin Xiang in his room, wearing an apron and having just finished cooking dinner. "Second Brother, it’s time to eat."

"Why are you still here?"

Lin Xiang replied, "I know you’re very tired and was worried you didn’t eat, so I came in."

The hotel had a keypad entry system. She was able to open his door since she had previously accompanied Second Brother. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Second Brother looked at Lin Xiang and sighed helplessly.

"I was worried about you too, Second Brother. Knowing that you quarreled with Second Sister-in-law and that you’ve been outside lately, you must miss the feeling of home?" Lin Xiang smiled and pulled Second Brother to the dining table, making him sit down. "Eat something first."

Second Brother gazed at Lin Xiang but didn’t say anything.

He knew Lin Xiang liked Qi Cheng and didn’t think she would be interested in him, so he didn’t overthink it.

Lin Xiang sat aside, watching Second Brother. "Is it good?"

Looking at Lin Xiang’s expectant expression, Second Brother couldn’t help but think of his wife. Every time he came back from a business trip, she would cook something delicious and ask him the same question. But now...

She wouldn’t do that anymore.

She had completely turned into someone filled with hatred and anger, no longer the familiar wife he knew.

He didn’t respond.

Lin Xiang brought over some wine. "This is the red wine I just had delivered. Try it, Second Brother."

It was the kind you couldn’t buy in stores. Lin Xiang had let it breathe and poured some into Second Brother’s glass.

"Thank you, Lin Xiang." He had only helped her once, yet she was so grateful, which made Second Brother feel uncomfortable. He thought of the question Grandfather had asked him during their recent trip to C City. "By the way, what do you think about the marriage proposal Grandfather mentioned to you?"

The Qi Family had several unmarried boys, and Lin Xiang could freely choose.

Hearing this, Lin Xiang froze for a moment. Inside, she already had feelings for Second Brother, so she naturally wouldn’t like other men. Smiling at Second Brother, she said, "I haven’t thought about it yet! For me, I want to find someone I truly like. I’ve met all the Qi Family’s brothers, but none of them have given me a special feeling."

Discussing this topic with Second Brother made her heart race because he was the one she liked the most!

"You need to quickly choose someone and get married!" Second Brother advised for her own good, not wanting her to entangle with Second Sister-in-law daily and leading her astray. "Lin Xiang is a good girl. Don’t waste your time because of Qi Cheng."

Lin Xiang smiled, "I know."

So it seemed Second Brother truly had no feelings for her.

She continued pouring wine for Second Brother. "Let’s drink a bit more!"

"No more. You still need to go back later."

"Just a little more." Lin Xiang ignored his objections and poured more. "You’ve been so exhausted lately. A couple of extra drinks won’t hurt. You can just sleep if you get drunk anyway."

"But you need to go back." Second Brother didn’t want to drink too much with her.

"I have a driver. It’s fine; I won’t drive myself. Besides, how can a little bit make me drunk? I can handle my liquor." Lin Xiang poured more wine for Second Brother.

Feeling troubled tonight, Second Brother found the wine Lin Xiang had brought quite good and ended up having a few more drinks.

After finishing, he stood up and said to Lin Xiang, "I’m going to sleep. You should go back."

"Alright, you sleep, Second Brother. Don’t worry about me."

"Be careful on the way." Second Brother mumbled, then fell onto the bed.

Lin Xiang tidied up a bit and prepared to leave.

Shortly after the hotel room door closed, it was pushed open again. Lin Xiang came back in. Seeing Second Brother asleep, she walked over, took off his shoes, moved his feet onto the bed, and covered him with the blanket.

Lin Xiang sat on the edge of the bed, staring at Second Brother. Without his glasses, his handsome face made her infatuated.

She reached out her hand, unconsciously placing it on his face. Suddenly, Second Brother, in his sleep, grabbed her hand...

He opened his eyes, startling Lin Xiang, yet she saw his eyes were dazed.

Haunted by thoughts of his wife even while drinking, Second Brother now saw Lin Xiang as his wife.

He gripped her hand tightly.

Lin Xiang said, "Second Brother, you’re hurting me."

Second Brother gazed at her. Before they got married, his wife used to call him like this too.

He suddenly reached out, pulling her into his embrace.

Second Brother had never been one to seek women outside, despite his status and abilities attracting many willing women. He always remained clean and proper; even while working away, he never touched any woman.

Now, with the influence of alcohol and the vision of ’his wife’ before him, his physical desire slowly ignited.

Lin Xiang, held tightly by Second Brother, looked at him. The face she admired was right in front of her, the man she adored was right beneath her...

Lin Xiang lowered her head and kissed Second Brother.

Driven by instinct, Second Brother lost his last bit of sanity. With a swift turn, he pressed Lin Xiang beneath him...

In the morning, the room was quiet. Lin Xiang hid under the blanket, wide-eyed, watching Second Brother dress. Without saying a word, he seemed intimidating, and she didn’t dare call him.

Second Brother dressed neatly in his suit without looking at Lin Xiang, heading directly for the door.

"Second Brother." Lin Xiang hurriedly stopped him.

She thought he should at least say something when he woke up, but he said nothing, leaving her feeling insecure. Initially, being with Second Brother was enough for her happiness. But at this moment, she wanted more. At least, a single word of explanation, comfort, or something else from him...

Second Brother paused, his cold voice echoing in the room, "Let’s pretend this never happened."

"But..."

Before Lin Xiang could say more, the door shut in front of her.

She stared at the closed door, biting her lip, realizing how terrifying Second Brother was at that moment.

She had thought he would at least say something responsible after everything transpired, given his usually responsible nature. Yet, he said to treat it as if nothing had happened!
