Chapter 558

Qin Lianyi almost choked on the food in her mouth. She managed to swallow the food in her mouth and looked up into Bai Tingxin's eyes. His eyes were staring deeply at her now as if he wanted to see through her. "Well..." She bit her lip and managed to come up with a reason. "Because sometimes… You look a little too indifferent, just like... Uh, a lotus. Yes, a lotus can only be appreciated and not messed around with, so... I... I don’t dare to do anything intimate with you." As she spoke, she felt a pang of guilt as she thought of their intimate moment back then. Look at what she had gotten herself into because of it! Even if she had some funny ideas, she did not dare to act on them! 'Bah! What funny ideas?' Qin Lianyi quickly told herself that she did not want to get into any more trouble with him. "Why don’t you just do it anyway?" he asked, amused. She was shocked. If she knew that her mistakes in the past would result in this, she would not have gotten drunk even if she would be killed. "I was drunk. As you know, I'm not a very good drinker. I get drunk easily, and when I'm drunk, I don't have much control over my behavior. I... I didn't mean it..." Her voice got softer and softer while his eyes grew colder and colder. He was giving her a strange sense of dread. Even her saliva was now stuck in her throat. "That's true. If you had meant it, you wouldn't have left the next day without saying goodbye," he said. "..." She felt as if she had been struck again. He beckoned to the waiter and ordered a bottle of wine. Then, he opened it and offered her a glass. She blinked and looked at the wine in front of her. Surely, he was not... "Yes," he said lightly. "I get drunk easily. If I'm drunk, I'll act out and things will get messy again," she said with an embarrassed look. "Then I'd like to see how out of control you'll be. Don't worry, if you're really drunk this time, I'll allow you to mess around with me and not hold you accountable," he said. Boom! Her face went red instantly. Did the man know what he was talking about? He was simply seducing her with his words! Bai Tingxin paid no more attention to Qin Lianyi. He poured himself another glass of wine and drank it. Perhaps the only way to quell his anger was to drink and tell himself not to care too much about this heartless woman! ... Qin Lianyi got drunk anyway. She drank the first glass under Bai Tingxin's semi-threat. As soon as she drank it, she found the bottle of red wine delicious and drank glass after glass. By the time she found out that she had a little too much to drink, she was already a little drunk. "What time... Is it? I… I should go back..." Qin Lianyi staggered to her feet. If she did not go back, her parents would lecture her again. "A little over ten o 'clock. I'll take you back." Bai Tingxin held Qin Lianyi and looked at her drunken appearance. It reminded him of how drunk she was back then. "If… If I don't behave myself and offend you later, you… You can just throw me out of the car..." she muttered tongue-tied, unable to speak clearly. Her eyes were now misty. He glanced at her but said nothing. He led her out of the restaurant. The Bai family's driver was already waiting outside the restaurant. Bai Tingxin helped Qin Lianyi into the car and said to the driver, "To Miss Qin's house." The driver drove the car slowly. Bai Tingxin looked at Qin Lianyi who was leaning against him and sitting sideways on his side. Now, her...
