Chapter 19: Drugged
706 Words
After a moment, he finally agreed reluctantly. “Fine, we’ll split amicably and go through the normal divorce proceedings. Consider this me owing you one. Just don’t disturb the old matriarch. Tomorrow morning, you bring your lawyer to my office. I’ll have my lawyer there too, and we can discuss it slowly.” Tang Xinluo didn’t suspect him of any tricks. Lu Qinghao was just an illegitimate son from a branch of the Lu family, having been the heir for only half a year. For the sake of his future, he wouldn’t dare to play games. “Fine, I’ll see you tomorrow.” After they reached an agreement, the two separated. Lu Qinghao returned to the crowd, chatting happily with familiar guests, while Tang Xinluo walked slowly to a quieter corner to rest.
On her way, a waiter passed by with a tray of red wine. Having settled a major issue, Tang Xinluo was feeling rather relaxed and casually picked up a glass of wine. Leaning against a pillar by the wall, she sipped her wine while watching the elegantly dressed guests on the dance floor. In such a lively scene, she didn’t know why, but she felt a bit lonely. She might as well leave early. She had already paid her respects and reached an agreement with Lu Qinghao. The old matriarch was elderly and might turn in early; staying later wouldn’t give her a chance to talk anyway. With that thought, Tang Xinluo put down her glass to leave, but after taking just two steps, she suddenly felt her heart race frantically. Hot, so hot. A strange heat rose from her lower abdomen, rushing straight from her belly to her head. Her vision suddenly blurred, her mind grew chaotic, and even her breathing became heavy. Did my contact lenses fall out again? That was her last coherent thought. After that, only one** remained in her mind. Get out, back to the car.
Tang Xinluo walked unsteadily towards the exit of the banquet hall. A waiter, who had already been paid off by Lu Qinghao, followed closely behind her. The waiter who had given Tang Xinluo the wine couldn’t help but feel nervous. What he was doing tonight was very dangerous. If Lu Qinghao hadn’t given him a large sum of money, he would never have dared to do such a thing in the Lu family mansion. But the world of the rich was truly strange. Lu Qinghao had given him a large sum of money to drug his own wife’s wine with a potent aphrodisiac. Just drugging her was one thing; at first, he thought it was just some rich person’s special kink. Who would have known that Lu Qinghao not only wanted him to drug her but also asked him to “have his way with her on the spot” afterward. Heh heh heh, just thinking about it was exciting. Although nervous, the waiter stuck close behind Tang Xinluo, waiting for her to reach the staircase so he could drag her upstairs. There were many guest rooms upstairs. As long as he could get this curvaceous woman up there, he could… have his way with her. According to his agreement with Lu Qinghao, the woman was his for the night. After he was done, tomorrow morning, Lu Qinghao would personally bring people to catch them in the act. When that happened, he would just have to suffer a little, play the part of the adulterer, and he would get a large sum of money afterward.

Tang Xinluo stumbled forward in a daze. The faster she walked, the more her head swelled and her heart raced. The train of her evening gown was too long. In her confused state, Tang Xinluo accidentally tripped over it. Her body was already failing her. With that trip, she pitched forward uncontrollably. The expected pain didn’t come. A pair of strong arms caught her falling body. “Mmm… help me…” Her body felt awful. She meant to cry for help, but the words that came out of her mouth sounded more like a seductive invitation. The man lowered his head, looking down coldly at the flushed face of the woman in his arms.
