Chapter 340: Following Lin Xuan’s Advice—Tang Guoan Pretends to Faint.

Shenghao Hotel.

“(＞人＜；) I’m sorry, Qiao Shan. I can’t let Shu Yun down.”

“In this life, we’re destined to have fate but no ending. Let’s not meet again in the future—I’m afraid my family will misunderstand…….”

“………”

Under Qiao Shan’s expectant gaze, Tang Guoan, with his hair slicked back, still kept firmly to the code of male virtue and made the correct decision.

Huh?!!

This dog of a man is actually so cold-hearted!!!

I already pulled out the nostalgia kill from our youth, and even had the deep, affectionate boost of the Song God [L], yet he’s still completely unmoved?!

He’s totally forgotten the vow of undying devotion he swore to me back when we were whispering under the flowers and moon……..

Hmph!

This is men—sure enough, not a single one is any good!

Since you won’t drink the toast, don’t blame me for using dirty tricks……..

Realizing that this unfaithful bastard Tang Guoan was determined to go their separate ways tonight, Qiao Shan was already so furious inside that she twisted into madness.

But on the surface, she still put on an ‘understanding is everything’ expression. She pretended to be reluctant and picked up the two glasses of red wine on the table.

………..

“Brother Tang, you don’t need to feel guilty toward me. The one who should apologize is me.”

“Tonight, I didn’t think it through. You already have a happy, perfect family, yet I shamelessly tried to insert myself into your marriage.”

“Now that I see you and your wife love each other so much, I’m truly happy for you from the bottom of my heart. Here, I sincerely wish the two of you a lifetime of happiness.”

“Finally, I want to invite you to drink this cup of forgetfulness wine together. From today on, we won’t meet again—let’s forget each other in the rivers and lakes…….”

“………..”

Qiao Shan’s eyes reddened as she looked at Tang Guoan with deep affection, her face full of reluctance.

Suddenly, as if she had made some firm decision, she lifted the cup with tears flowing, tilted her head back, and drained it in one gulp.

The whole sequence was smooth and seamless, without a trace of acting—exactly like a devoted woman who, after failing to win love, wronged herself to fulfill the man she loved…….

If this were any other man……..

Right now, he’d probably be moved, crying a mess, and might even fall into Qiao Shan’s ‘gentle trap’……..

But Tang Guoan didn’t show the slightest bit of being moved.

Staring at the red wine the woman handed to him, he recalled the thoughts he’d overheard from his nephew, and his expression became as strange as could be……..

……….

‘Honestly, this matter can only be blamed on Uncle for being too nosy.’

‘After getting a plea-for-help call from his first love in the middle of the night, he went to the hotel with zero wariness and drank the wine someone handed him.’

‘Little did he know…… the wine had already been drugged by that woman.’

‘Once Big Uncle stupidly drank it and passed out, his ‘purity’ was miserably defiled and taken away by her.’

‘After waking up, he didn’t even use his brain and thought it was just him acting out after drinking. He blamed himself deeply and was filled with guilt toward that woman……..’

……….

Tang Guoan originally still had a sliver of doubt about whether his nephew’s inner monologue was true.

But after so many ‘coincidences’ being proven right, he couldn’t not believe it anymore.

It’s just that he really couldn’t accept……..

That the kind girl in his memories could, in just a little over ten years, rot into someone this vicious……..

(?_?) How tragic, how lamentable!!!!!

“Brother Tang? Σ(⊙▽⊙”a What’s wrong? Why aren’t you drinking?”

“Could it be that you won’t even drink the last cup with me?”

“………”

Seeing Tang Guoan still not moving, and even staring at her with an odd look, Qiao Shan’s heart lurched.

Did I give myself away somewhere?

Just as she was panicking like crazy…….

“(。?＿?。)? I’m sorry~~ Qiao Shan, sorry!”

“Recently I haven’t been feeling well. The doctor warned me not to drink alcohol, so at most I can only take a small sip.”

“………”

Thinking of the ‘faking a faint’ suggestion his nephew once mentioned, Tang Guoan clung to his last bit of luck, took the wine, and pretended to lightly sip a mouthful…….

Seeing that, a sharp gleam burst in Qiao Shan’s eyes.

She knew it—steady!!!

She’d put a huge amount of date-rape drugs in the wine. Even just a small sip was still enough to make an adult fall into a deep sleep.

“What’s going on? Qiao Shan, why is my head suddenly so dizzy~~~”

Huh? The effect is that good?

The dog man reacted the moment he finished drinking?

Who said PDD only sells fakes?! This potency is insane, okay!!!

Watching Tang Guoan’s eyes go unfocused as he went limp and collapsed onto the sofa, Qiao Shan’s heart was practically exploding with excitement…….

Little did she know, Tang Guoan was secretly cracking open a thin slit of an eye, peeking at her.

~~( ﹁ ﹁ ) ~~~。

─━ _ ─━?

And then he discovered in horror that Qiao Shan somehow pulled out a leather whip, handcuffs, a collar, candles, and all kinds of BDSM props.

She was sweeping his body with a cold sneer on her face.

……….

“Dog man, you still dared to reject me?! You think you can escape my grasp like this? Hah—pure wishful thinking!!!”

“I owe so many loan sharks, and I’m still waiting for you to pay them off! If you leave, where am I gonna find such a perfect sucker?”

“Damn it! Your family clearly has power and influence, yet you never told me back then! Otherwise, how could I have broken up with you?!”

“I ended up like this today—all because of you! And you still want to ditch me? Don’t even think about it—watch how I deal with you tonight!”

“………..”

At this moment.

Qiao Shan was like a completely different person, spewing filthy language nonstop. Compared to her earlier gentle, obedient act, it was like night and day.

She pulled out a pack of ‘Da Qianmen’ cigarettes from her bag, skillfully lit one, and started cursing while puffing away.

This ugly display—her true colors revealed—made Tang Guoan’s heart turn cold by half as he lay there playing unconscious.

He never would’ve imagined……..

That the ‘white moonlight’ in his memory, like a rising morning sun with a warm, dazzling smile……..

Now….. would be this unbearably disgusting……..

More than the anger of being set up, Tang Guoan felt sorrow, gloom, nausea, and furious disappointment……..

On the other side.

Hiss~~~

Qiao Shan took a huge drag, and as she blew out a smoke ring, she casually tossed the half-finished cigarette onto the floor, then clapped her hands.

“Alright! Then we’ll start implementing Plan B!”

“Dog man! After tonight, you can forget ever escaping my palm for the rest of your life.”

“……….”

Qiao Shan wore a cold sneer. In a few swift moves, she stripped off all her clothes, revealing a body full of greasy fat.

Then she walked toward the man on the sofa……..
