My Super Beautiful Lady Boss-Chapter 726 - 711: Feng Shanshan’s Confession
Chapter 726: Chapter 711: Feng Shanshan’s Confession
Under the influence of alcohol, Feng Shanshan kept talking about Su Xuan’s impressive qualities, his bravery, and fearlessness, continuously patting Su Xuan’s shoulder, occasionally draping her hands over Su Xuan’s shoulders, and looking straight at him. Then, with a laugh, she picked up a glass of wine and downed it in one go.
At first, Su Xuan was able to keep the conversation going with Feng Shanshan, but as they drank more, Feng Shanshan’s words became increasingly slurred. Yet whenever she talked about liking Su Xuan and his courage, her voice became loud and clear again.
"I’ve never had a boy tell me he liked me since I was young, and hardly any boys went shopping with me, let alone someone who would protect me in a situation like today," Feng Shanshan said in a low voice as she looked at Su Xuan.
"Su Xuan... do you like me?" Feng Shanshan suddenly blurted out to Su Xuan, then laughed and took another sip of her drink, as the cook at the side glanced over with a shout.
Upon hearing this, Su Xuan felt no thrill; it seemed like the long-awaited answer was now before him. He then looked at the intoxicated Feng Shanshan, shook his head gently with a smile, and remained silent.
Su Xuan’s alcohol tolerance was still good, and he silently watched the now-drunk Feng Shanshan, thinking how different she was from before. A laugh stirred in Su Xuan, observing her childlike mischief, making his improper thoughts subside and replaced with fondness. Only as more and more shops along the street closed did Su Xuan realize it was already eleven at night.
Seeing that Feng Shanshan had drunk quite a bit and was about to drink more, Su Xuan quickly grabbed the glass from her hand and gulped it down.
He softly said, "It’s getting late, we should go. The shops are closing." Saying so, Su Xuan easily lifted Feng Shanshan and walked towards her home.
Su Xuan looked at the drunk Feng Shanshan in his arms, her hands gesturing nonstop and mumbling incomprehensible words. Su Xuan was, after all, a man. Seeing such a lovely and charming, flushed face of Feng Shanshan, he felt an urge to take her to a hotel. Had they just met, he would have definitely taken this chance with Feng Shanshan.
But listening to the inebriated Feng Shanshan declaring his impressiveness and how much she liked him, he reflected that there’s truth in vino veritas. Since Feng Shanshan was sincere about her feelings for him, he shouldn’t take advantage of her vulnerability. Shaking his head, Su Xuan then started walking forward with longer strides.
Before long, Su Xuan arrived at Feng Shanshan’s doorstep, and then he gently knocked on the door. Her mother, in a hurry, draped a garment over herself and opened the door. She looked both ways before seeing Feng Shanshan sitting at her doorstep, reeking of alcohol. Turning back, she called her spouse, and the two of them helped Feng Shanshan up.
Su Xuan... Su Xuan...
"How come your girl drank so much today?" Feng Shanshan’s mother asked her spouse with confusion.
Accompanying Feng Shanshan’s gagging motion, her father immediately directed his spouse to help Feng Shanshan into the house.
At that moment, Su Xuan looked at Feng Shanshan entering the house under the dimly lit area devoid of streetlamps and reassured, turned to go home.
After arriving home, Su Xuan lay in bed, thinking about the day’s events and the cute Feng Shanshan, and eventually fell asleep unaware.
The next day, Su Xuan was awakened by the noisy ring of his phone.
"Hello...! Are you Su Xuan?" an urgent voice came through the phone, the speaker was an elderly woman.
Su Xuan glanced at the phone, which showed an incoming call from Feng Shanshan, but the person speaking was an elderly woman.
Then, with a questioning tone, she replied, "Yes, I am Su Xuan."
"Good, you are Su Xuan. I am Feng Shanshan’s mother. Come to my house immediately; I have an urgent matter to discuss with you."
When Su Xuan heard that it was a call from Feng Shanshan’s mother, his doubts intensified, but upon hearing it was an urgent matter, he swiftly got up, hurriedly washed up, and rushed out towards Feng Shanshan’s home.
Approaching Feng Shanshan’s doorstep, Su Xuan saw her mother holding a phone, anxiously scanning her surroundings, while Feng Shanshan’s father stood by, intently reading a letter in his hand.
Feng Shanshan’s father, with a perplexed expression, asked his wife, "What... what... exactly is going on?"
Politely, Su Xuan addressed them as he approached, "Uncle, Auntie, you were looking for me..."
Before Su Xuan could finish his sentence, Feng Shanshan’s father thrust the letter into his hands.
"This morning, Feng Shanshan said she had a shift and needed to leave early. But not long after she left, there was a knock on the door. When we opened it, there was no one there, just Feng Shanshan’s mobile phone and this letter on the ground. Please read this letter quickly and see what’s going on," Feng Shanshan’s father said anxiously.
The letter in Su Xuan’s hands was a crumpled A4 sheet, wrinkled from Feng Shanshan’s father’s grip, printed with the message: "Use Feng Shanshan’s mobile phone to call someone named Su Xuan, then have Su Xuan call this number 132xxxxxxxx."
"We tried calling the number above, but no one answered. I had no choice but to call you with my girl’s phone. Could it be that she ran away from home because I scolded her for drinking too much yesterday and spoke harshly to her this morning?" Feng Shanshan’s mother asked Su Xuan, her voice tinged with tears.
Without much thought, Su Xuan scratched his head, grabbed his own mobile, and dialed the number from the letter.
"Your woman is in my hands. I give you three minutes to get to the warehouse next to the Golden Roc Breeding Factory in the East District. If you’re not here when the time is up, this pretty lady will be enjoyed by my boys. And if you dare call the police, you’ll never see your woman again," came from a burly-sounding man on the other end of the line, who then hung up before Su Xuan could speak. Su Xuan tried calling again, but the man’s phone was now switched off.
Seeing Su Xuan’s expression turn to utter panic after the call ended, Feng Shanshan’s parents bombarded him with questions, fearing something had happened to Feng Shanshan. Su Xuan knew that Feng Shanshan had been kidnapped, and the kidnappers wanted him involved. Immediately, the name Li Fuyang flashed through his mind.
He then covered his stress by telling Feng Shanshan’s parents that today was his birthday, and Feng Shanshan must have set up this situation as a reminder.
Su Xuan’s stiff explanation seemed to leave Feng Shanshan’s parents unconvinced, but as he assured them he would bring Feng Shanshan back, they watched with mixed feelings as he swiftly walked eastward.
After leaving Feng Shanshan’s parents, Su Xuan couldn’t contain his rage. He couldn’t believe someone like Li Fuyang would stoop to such lunacy and engage in kidnapping. It seemed he had been too lenient!
Initially, his intention was to show some skill in front of Li Fuhai to intimidate him. He hadn’t expected this youngster not only to remain unrestrained but to dare provoke him again. This time, Su Xuan was determined to make Li Fuhai suffer.
With a cold glint in his eyes and a sinister smile, Su Xuan muttered to himself, "You’re asking for death..."
