Chapter 718: What’s Going On?

Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Qin Zhen gave up trying to communicate with Charlene. He pulled her outside, realizing that it wouldn’t be possible to take her home now; it was too late, and he didn’t want to disturb her family.

Just as he was about to leave, Charlene suddenly squatted down and vomited.

Qin Zhen patted her back, trying to make her more comfortable.

Helplessly, Qin Zhen had no choice but to take her to a hotel to rest until she sobered up before going home.

However, upon arriving at the hotel, Charlene opened her bleary eyes. Her mind still foggy, she mistook Qin Zhen for Gu Shaoting and refused to let go of him.

“Charlene, look clearly. I’m Qin Zhen, not your Brother Gu,” Qin Zhen said to her, but Charlene was too drunk to understand.

“You’re Qin Zhen? I don’t know you. Go away,” Charlene’s words took Qin Zhen aback.

“Look again. I’m Qin Zhen. Do you remember now?” Qin Zhen shook Charlene gently.

“Oh, it’s you…” Charlene looked at him fixedly.

…

Golden sunlight streamed in through the white curtains, casting a beam of light onto the window sill.

Clothes were strewn all over the white carpet.

Charlene was now sober from last night’s alcohol-induced haze. She rubbed her swollen head, opened her bleary eyes, and found herself in an unfamiliar room.

Where was she?

Wasn’t she in her own room?

How did she end up here? She racked her brain, but couldn’t make sense of it.

Charlene massaged her temples, slowly sat up, feeling exhausted. As she took in the messy surroundings, memories of last night flashed through her mind like scenes from a movie.

“Bang!”

Before Charlene could gather all her memories, the bathroom door suddenly swung open.

“Are you awake? Feeling okay?” Qin Zhen asked with concern.

“It’s you, Qin Zhen? You’re like a bad penny,” Charlene suddenly exclaimed excitedly.

“Darling, don’t be so agitated. You weren’t like this yesterday,” Qin Zhen innocently replied.

“Shut up, you devil. I don’t want to see you again,” Charlene gritted her teeth.

“Darling, it hurts me to hear you say that. Remember, we shared a night of passion,” Qin Zhen teased, a bit shamelessly.

“Who shared a night of passion? Shameless,” Charlene clenched the blanket tightly, speaking through gritted teeth.

“Charlene, don’t you think we’re meant to be together?” Qin Zhen walked over to her, shook her shoulder gently, and said softly.

“Get out. I don’t want to see you. The person I like is Brother Gu,” Charlene became more and more agitated, her eyes seemed to be erupting with fire.

“Brother Gu? Too bad Brother Gu’s heart belongs to someone else. He already has a beloved wife,” Qin Zhen taunted, seemingly intent on provoking Charlene.

“Heh, it’s none of your business what I do. It’s best for you to stay away from me in the future. Even if we meet again, just pretend you don’t know me, like at the last banquet. Wasn’t that good?” Charlene laughed coldly.

She thought she had cut ties with this person completely, but now they were entangled again, which was truly annoying.

“Charlene, don’t say such angry words. Do you know? Ever since we separated, I couldn’t forget about you. The fact that we can meet again means our fate isn’t over yet,” Qin Zhen sat down beside her, looking at her.

“It’s impossible. Even if I’m single for the rest of my life, I won’t be with you. Don’t you find yourself disgusting?” Charlene looked at him with disdain, wishing he would disappear from her sight.
