From Runaway Bride to Global Queen-Chapter 143 - : Confession After Drinking
Chapter 143 -143: Confession After Drinking
Xinxin was truly fed up with Xiao Ting’s morose face!
Filled with resentment, Xinxin got into her car like a wandering soul. Before the car even started, her phone rang.
“Hello? Treating athlete’s foot? You’ve got the wrong number!”
Muttering, Xinxin hung up the phone and was about to start her car when it rang again.
“Treating hair loss? Are you sick?”
Xinxin was bewildered, thinking someone was playing a prank on her. She glanced at her phone’s caller ID to see an unfamiliar number from another province.
When the third call came, Xinxin couldn’t stand it anymore. She picked up the phone and without waiting for the other side to speak, she lashed out.
“Are you ****ing sick? I said I don’t treat athlete’s foot or hair loss! If you ****ing dare to call again, I’ll kill your whole family!”
“Xinxin? What’s wrong? What’s this about treating athlete’s foot and hair loss?”
Xinxin froze, moved the phone away a bit and saw that this call was from Zhao Wenjing!
“Mom… there was a little incident here, someone is playing a joke on me… What did you need?”
Xinxin awkwardly explained, not sure if Zhao Wenjing was listening, and after a long silence, she finally said,
“It’s nothing, just asking if you’ll come home for lunch. If you’re busy, go ahead with what you’re doing.”
Zhao Wenjing finished speaking and hung up before Xinxin could reply.
Listening to the dial tone on her phone, Xinxin felt like she was going to explode! What is all this!
In the most famous bar in Capital City, on the second floor in a colorful private room, Qiao Yi was sipping a drink, sitting opposite a few oddly-shaped men.
No, it would be more appropriate to describe them as boys.
These guys, ranging on average from eighteen and not older than twenty, were the last batch of minions Qiao Yi had under her before she left school.
Despite their young age, they were quite competent. The task Qiao Yi had assigned last night was completed this morning, even better than she had expected.

Qiao Yi looked at the stack of colorful small cards in her hand. Everything from locksmithing, plumbing, treating hair loss and athlete’s foot, brother-seeking sister, special services… anything you could think of in a small ad, it was there.
She almost guessed what the owner of this mobile number was going through right now.
“Nicely done. Today’s expenses are on me.”
Qiao Yi kept a few cards for herself and tossed the rest back to Dezi.
“Yi, I haven’t seen you out for a long time. Has your husband been keeping you too tied up since you got married?”
Dezi winked teasingly and dodged the pillow Qiao Yi threw at him, darting out with a few underlings behind him.
Leaning by the window, Qiao Yi watched the dance floor below, her mind filled with a jumble of thoughts.
She thought about her life before marrying Lu Yanchuan, a life soaked in luxury and revelry, always in this state since she decided not to join the company for a regular role.
Until she was framed by Xinxin, pressured by Lu Ming, and married Lu Yanchuan.
She gave so much to protect her supposed sisters who ended up harming her; her childhood friends also wanted to harm her, and eventually, it was the distant Lu Yanchuan who saved her at the critical moment.
Should she say how unpredictable life is?
“Drank too much?”
Speaking of the devil?
Qiao Yi squinted, thinking she heard Lu Yanchuan’s voice, looked around but saw no one, sighed deeply, and sank back into the sofa.
“Indeed, it was an illusion… He’s clearly at work; how could he possibly appear here…”
“Don’t drink alone next time.”
This time, Qiao Yi was sure she really heard Lu Yanchuan’s voice!
A wave of warmth slowly approached, and Qiao Yi followed this temperature. As she raised her head, she bumped into Lu Yanchuan’s dark eyes.
“How did you come?”
Under the influence of alcohol, Qiao Yi’s tongue was somewhat numb. Lu Yanchuan hugged her, who was reeking of alcohol, and glanced at the table before leaving.
Aunt Roberta? No wonder she got drunk after just two drinks.
Initially slightly tipsy, Qiao Yi completely got inebriated after the cold air hit her upon leaving the bar. She clung onto Lu Yanchuan, murmuring incoherently.
Lu Yanchuan, holding Qiao Yi with one hand, went to open the car door but was dragged into the car by Qiao Yi, who clung to his neck.
“Mmm… do you like me, Lu Yanchuan?”
Lu Yanchuan paused for a moment, then nonchalantly stuffed Qiao Yi into the car, closed the door, and sat beside her from the other side.
“You do like me!”
People who drink lose their rationality. Holding Qiao Yi, who clung to him like an octopus, Lu Yanchuan gave Ma Yu a meaningful look.
The black sunshade slowly descended, creating a secluded small space in the back seat.
Qiao Yi hugged Lu Yanchuan and babbled meaninglessly until Lu Yanchuan finally understood what she was saying.
“Let me tell you a little secret!”
“I kind of like you too, just a little! If it was too much, you’d become arrogant! Hehe!”
Like a small arrow, it swiftly struck the softest part of Lu Yanchuan’s heart, causing his heart to throb intensely.
The petite woman in his arms had already giggled herself to sleep, but Lu Yanchuan’s heart couldn’t calm down.
She likes him a bit?
Unaware of what she had done while drunk, Qiao Yi didn’t realize anything until she woke up the next morning.
Her head was a bit uncomfortable, but it was within the range she could tolerate.
Qiao Yi walked toward the bathroom, recalling what had happened yesterday.
By the time Qiao Yi made it to the bathroom, her face had turned bright red.
She, she had said so much while under the influence of alcohol!
She had actually said she liked Lu Yanchuan!
Crouching in the bathroom holding her head, Qiao Yi no longer wanted to leave the room.
Who was that little girl who hugged someone and confessed, and even wanted kisses and cuddles yesterday? It definitely wasn’t her!
“Click!”
The bathroom door made a light sound, and Qiao Yi instinctively looked up, only to see Lu Yanchuan entering from outside.
Awkwardness was everywhere…
“Um, you go first, I can wait a bit longer…”
Qiao Yi gave a dry laugh and tried to run out, but before she could walk past Lu Yanchuan, he pulled her arm and dragged her back into the bathroom, pressing her against the washbasin.
“Sober now?”
Qiao Yi, like a frightened rabbit, anxiously stared at Lu Yanchuan, constantly searching for a possible escape route.
“Sober, sober!”
“Good that you’re sober. Let’s talk about what you said to me yesterday.”
Qiao Yi’s desire to flee intensified, she was regretting it, okay? She wouldn’t drink anymore, okay! Just spare her life…
“I was wrong, I said the wrong thing because I was drunk, please forgive me!”
