Chapter 177 Drunk
Lin Mingmo and Li Yunluo sat down in a quiet corner of the banquet hall and raised their glasses to drink.
When a single man and a single woman drink like this, there is bound to be an ambiguous atmosphere.
However, Lin Mingmo was just drinking.
Li Yunluo really wanted to talk to her, but she didn't pay much attention.
Just like that, the two of them continued to drink, sip by sip.
"Xiao Mo... I know you don't like me..." Li Yunluo took a gulp of wine, unable to hold it in any longer. "People say that as long as I persevere, I can impress you... But, but, my sister just told me that your ex was Sheng Yuan..."
"Sheng Yuan... I know I have no chance." Li Yunluo laughed, "It's just like the poem... Once you have seen the sea, all other waters are but puddles; once you have seen Mount Wu, all other clouds are but mounds..."
"But I'm still curious... I'm curious about what kind of person you'll end up with..."
Lin Mingmo's eyelids twitched, and the taste of the wine in her mouth suddenly became extremely bitter.
This question...she had never thought about it.
The only time I ever thought about spending my life with someone was when I was with Sheng Yuan...
She blinked, chuckled, and replied, "Too much talk."
Li Yunluo did not lie, he really had never drunk alcohol. After just a few glasses of champagne, his face turned red and he felt dizzy.
He was still mumbling something, but it was already unclear, and Lin Mingmo had no interest in listening any further.
Soon with a "bang", he fell headfirst onto the table.
Lin Mingmo was startled and quickly moved closer to ask with concern: "How are you? Are you okay?"
Li Yunluo raised one hand and shook it, mumbling, "I'm fine... I can drink more! It's just... my head feels so heavy... Can I drink while lying down?"
In this situation, Lin Mingmo naturally didn't dare to let him drink anymore.
She wanted to laugh but felt helpless.
Lin Mingmo called the waiters and asked them to take Li Yunluo to the room downstairs to rest.
The waiter came back and reported to Lin Mingmo: "That gentleman was making a lot of noise, and kept singing something like 'She doesn't love me...'"
After imagining the scene, a smile finally appeared on Lin Mingmo's cold face.
She didn't drink often, and although she was better than Li Yunluo, she was already a little shaky when she walked. So she decided to go and have a rest.
Lin Mingmo took the elevator downstairs.
Tonight, the guest rooms above the 20th floor of the Hera Hotel will not be open to the public but will be reserved for every guest attending the dinner.
Lin Mingmo was holding the room card for the presidential suite left for the Mo family and looking for her own room.
Turning the corner of the corridor, she ran into two men dressed as hotel cleaners.
Both of them were wearing masks, so their faces couldn't be seen clearly, but judging from their stature, they looked tall and strong.
The man glanced at her and quickly looked away.
Lin Mingmo walked slowly along the wall and passed them by.
Suddenly, a feeling of something being wrong arose in her heart.
Even though the Hera Hotel has a high star rating, it wouldn't be necessary to hire two young, strong men as cleaners. Security guards might be a better fit for them than cleaners...
Besides, at this time, many guests are still drinking and chatting upstairs. Is it necessary to let the cleaning staff walk back and forth in the corridor?
Lin Mingmo frowned and couldn't help but look back.
However, at this time, the two figures had disappeared around the corner of the corridor.
Under the influence of alcohol, Lin Mingmo's thinking became a little slow and she was unable to think deeply.
After finding the room, she opened the door and entered. After standing at the door for a while, she turned around and locked all the doors. Then she walked into the bedroom with peace of mind and lay down on the bed.
Slightly tipsy, Lin Mingmo soon fell into a deep sleep.
The banquet hall upstairs was still brightly lit and filled with a lively and joyful atmosphere.
Fang Yaqi stayed with Sheng Yuan and met many people. Everyone praised them for being a perfect match. Although there was some compliment, it was enough to make Fang Yaqi intoxicated.
She couldn't remember how many glasses of wine she had drunk, she only knew that she couldn't stand steadily, her feet seemed to be floating in the clouds, and she could only hold Sheng Yuan's arms tightly, her body almost hanging on him.
Such behavior may not be very decent for a lady of good character, but Fang Yaqi doesn't care about that.
She just wanted everyone to see that she, Fang Yaqi, was the woman who stayed with Sheng Yuan.
"You're drunk." Sheng Yuan's cold hand gently stroked Fang Yaqi's cheek, his voice as cold as water, "I'll ask someone to take you downstairs to rest."
"A Yuan, please accompany me..." Fang Yaqi took advantage of the alcohol and acted coquettishly.
Drunk, but not completely drunk, maybe 40% drunk, and could handle doing something.
Sheng Yuan raised his eyebrows and said in a more serious tone, "I still need to chat with Director Liu and the others for a while. You go down first, I'll be down soon."
Fang Yaqi glanced at the several old men in suits and ties with big bellies and extraordinary demeanor in front of her, and knew that this was a critical moment for Sheng Yuan to gain a foothold in Shengshi Group, and she had better not hold him back.
"Okay, I'll go down and wait for you." She looked at Sheng Yuan's deep eyes, her heart moved, and she couldn't help but tiptoe and kiss him on the cheek.
Fang Yaqi reluctantly went downstairs and returned to her room.
As soon as the lights were turned on, two sturdy figures appeared before our eyes.
"Damn, you're finally back!" The man's tone was quite impatient.
Fang Yaqi opened her eyes wide, but before she could scream, she was quickly pushed down and her mouth and nose were covered.
Soon, under the influence of ether, she passed out.
Even in Jiangjin's most prosperous place, darkness is still spreading.

late at night.
Sheng Yuan returned downstairs.
He looked around the room cautiously, not finding anything unusual, and frowned.
After a few seconds of silence, he thought to himself, maybe there were too many people tonight and the security was tightened, so maybe they didn't find the opportunity.
Even so, in order to confirm it again, Sheng Yuan checked all the rooms one by one.
When he arrived at the last room, Sheng Yuan saw the bulge on the bed and smiled helplessly.
When would that group of people actually make their move? He didn't want to continue this ridiculous and boring drama.
Just as Sheng Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave, he suddenly heard a small, weak call.
"Sheng Yuan..."
Sheng Yuan's eyelids jumped, and he quickly walked to the bed and pulled back the quilt.
"How could it be you?"
Sheng Yuan looked at Lin Mingmo curled up on the bed, his face changed drastically, and then he felt a sense of fear and staggered back two steps.
This room... Sheng Yuan walked to the window and looked out, and suddenly realized that he had gone to the wrong place. Fang Yaqi's room was opposite.
The room card in his hand can open all the luxury suites.
Sheng Yuan wanted to leave here and check on Fang Yaqi, but the light whispering voice sounded again.
“Sheng Yuan…Sheng Yuan…”
Hit by the sudden cool breeze, Lin Mingmo curled up even tighter.
The bustle fades away and the night becomes lonely.
The light from the hotel building shone in through the glass windows, filling the room with a faint glow.
Sheng Yuan looked at the small figure on the bed, and his emotions overcame his reason.
He couldn't help but move closer, reaching out his trembling hand towards Lin Mingmo's cheek.
The warm and delicate touch explodes at the fingertips.
He originally just wanted to look at her a few more times and left quickly.
But Sheng Yuan underestimated the longing he had suppressed for so long, or maybe it was because he drank a lot of wine tonight, and his momentary loss of control would only lead to an avalanche like a tidal wave.
"Momo..."
Sheng Yuan slowly moved closer and kissed the slightly open lips.
*
Never drink so much again.
This was Lin Mingmo’s first thought after waking up.
My head is splitting and my whole body is sore.
And... she also had a dream, a dream of a very large scale that is not suitable for detailed description.
The protagonist in the dream is Sheng Yuan... However, considering that all her experience comes from Sheng Yuan, it is not surprising that he appears in the dream.
When she opened the door and prepared to leave, Lin Mingmo suddenly saw a lot of people gathered outside.
Lots of police.
And Sheng Yuan.
Lin Mingmo's eyebrows jumped and she subconsciously wanted to retreat back into the room.
"...Mr. Sheng, you said your fiancée returned to her room alone last night, and there are witnesses who confirmed that you left the banquet hall at 1:30 AM. We received the alarm at 7:00 AM. So, where were you during that time?"
The police questioned him seriously.
After all, Sheng Yuan was too calm. His fiancée was kidnapped, yet he remained so nonchalant.
Lin Mingmo couldn't help but stop and listen to what the police said.
Sheng Yuan cast a cold gaze at Lin Mingmo, and a barely perceptible curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Me?" he said coldly, "Of course I'm going to have a tryst with my casual love."
