C92

When Lin Xi arrived at the dining hall, the appointed time was long past. Qin Yu and Hu Yuefei were already waiting in the private room.

"Sorry, there's a traffic jam. I'm late." Lin Xi randomly found an excuse.

Qin Yu raised his eyes and sized her up, but did not say anything.

Hu Yuefei looked behind her curiously, and pointed out: "I thought you met someone on the way, and got caught!"

Lin Xi sat down near Qin Yu and glanced at her: "Don't say, on my way here, I actually met two people who claimed that they came from the mountain to look for a wife in Z City. Originally, I wanted to help them out because they were pitiful, but in the end, I was almost tricked by them. It is truly hard for one to guard against the tricks of a swindler. "

"That's really sad." Hu Yuefei said.

What she said was unclear. It was unknown if she was sad that Lin Xi had almost been cheated, or that the scammer had not been cheated by Lin Xi.

The smell of gunpowder gradually became stronger, and Qin Yu could not help but interrupt them: "Alright, the dishes are all here, let's start the meal."

Lin Xi and Hu Yuefei faked a smile at each other and decided to temporarily give up.

During the meal, Lin Xi and Hu Yuefei did not interact at all. Most likely because Qin Yu had just finished dealing with the company's matters, she was a little tired and did not talk much. On the dining table, only the sound of knives and forks could be heard.

But although Qin Yu did not say much, he did not forget to pour food and water for Hu Yuefei.

Although she did not want to admit it, Lin Xi could not help but be a little jealous.

A few days ago, these were clearly things that Qin Yu had often done for him, but now, he had changed targets. It was as if every time Hu Yuefei was around, she would transfer all his good intentions to her.

Lin Xi started to be vexed about the matter of Hu Li and his wife suddenly changing sides.

She almost exposed Hu Yuefei's real face, just a little more …

As Lin Xi ate, she uncontrollably observed the interactions between Qin Yu and Hu Yuefei. Then, she couldn't help but compare the interaction between the two of them with the time when Qin Yu was with her, surprised to discover some interesting things.

When Qin Yu gave Hu Yuefei some food, it was as if he was completing a mission, there were no additional expressions on his face, and he had not even said anything like "This is very delicious, you can taste it". At most, when he met with Hu Yuefei's gaze, he would smile at her.

Picking up food for the people around him was originally meant to show their enthusiasm, but Qin Yu did so without any sign of it. However, because he was usually cold and indifferent, it did not seem too strange.

However, every time Qin Yu gave him some food, and after he put the food into his bowl, he would always put down his chopsticks and tilt his head to look at. Only when he ate the food that Qin Yu picked up from his bowl did he withdraw his gaze, satisfied.

Although this analogy wasn't really appropriate, every time Qin Yu picked up dishes for him, it was as if he was feeding a pet. Watching eat the food he picked up, a clear sense of joy and accomplishment would appear on Qin Yu's face, as if he had done an amazing and important thing just now.

Lin Xi calmed down and carefully analyzed the situation. She discovered that as long as she wasn't emotional, she could jump out and observe all the details between her and Qin Yu from the perspective of a bystander. Even with such a small matter like eating, she could still feel that Qin Yu was treating her differently from the others …

She touched the dripping heart on her chest through her clothes, the jealousy in her heart for Hu Yuefei suddenly disappearing completely.

The reason why Lin Xi invited Qin Yu out today, aside from exposing Hu Yuefei, was to confirm with him another thing — — Why did he want to give him the Heart of Water? And, did he like his?

After the three of them finished their dinner in the midst of a strange atmosphere, Lin Xi looked up at Qin Yu and said: "Qin Yu …"

"Qin Yu, I want to go for a walk in the Bund, can you accompany me there later?" Hu Yuefei spoke almost at the same time as Lin Xi, but she deliberately raised her voice to suppress Lin Xi's.

Qin Yu looked back and forth between the two of them. He hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he still ignored Lin Xi and turned to agree with him.

Lin Xi sneered, and tactfully said: "Then I'll go back first, I hope you all have a good time."

Although she could guess that Qin Yu would frequently push her away, but he had frequently flattered her. There might be other things hidden, but every time she encountered this kind of situation, she would always be the one who was given up, and it would always make people feel especially uncomfortable.

Lin Xi looked at Qin Yu again, then took her own handbag and walked out of the dining hall in large strides, catching a taxi to go home.

Hu Yuefei watched Bai Nianxi's leaving figure, the corners of her mouth proudly raised into a curve, then quickly returned to normal.

She turned her head and said to Qin Yu who was beside her: "Shall we go now? "You go get the car first, I'll wait for you outside the restaurant, okay?"

"Alright." Qin Yu's face did not show any expression, he simply replied and got up to go to the underground parking lot.

When Qin Yu went to the underground parking lot, the moment he opened the car door, he smelled a strong fragrance. He immediately held his breath in vigilance and retreated a few steps.

After asking about the bodyguards behind him and confirming that no one had tampered with the car after he left, he returned to the car.

He remembered that when he brought Hu Yuefei to the dining area today, Hu Yuefei casually placed it on his car. Presumably, she accidentally knocked over the bottle when she got off the car, causing the perfume to spill out from the mouth of the bottle.

Qin Yu opened the car window and waited for the fragrance to dissipate slightly before starting the car and leaving the car park.

From the car park to the entrance of the restaurant, they were very close, so Qin Yu quickly saw Hu Yuefei standing at the intersection, waiting for him. He pulled over and parked slowly in front of her.

Maybe because the night wind was too strong, Hu Yuefei wore a mask on her face. After getting on the car, she did not take it off, but instead spoke to Qin Yu in a low voice: "I feel a little dizzy today, can we drive slower?"

"Of course." Qin Yu replied.

However, the moment he finished answering, his mind suddenly jolted.

It was as if he had blurted it out without thinking, as if his body had reacted before his brain.

Qin Yu felt that his reaction was a little strange, but he couldn't figure out what was so strange about it.

The car slowly moved forward a distance before Hu Yuefei spoke again, "Are you feeling a little sleepy? Why don't I drive? "

Qin Yu nodded and parked, then gave the driver's seat to Hu Yuefei.

Qin Yu felt his consciousness becoming a little muddled. He knew what he was doing, but he couldn't understand why he was doing this.

Slowly, a strange feeling welled up within him. He felt as if he had become a puppet who was no longer acting on his own decisions, but acting on the will of the informant.

Qin Yu tried to resist this reaction, but his mind became more and more chaotic, even the thought of resisting became scattered by other random thoughts the moment the thought of resistance surfaced in his mind.

Hu Yuefei sat in the driver's seat, she was not in a hurry to drive, but had instead observed and tested Qin Yu for a while. Only until she found out that's eyes were blurry and that he had listened to everything she said, did she say again: "Let's not go to the Bund, let's go find a hotel to rest, okay?"

"Alright." Qin Yu replied, his voice was slower than normal by half a beat.

Hu Yuefei happily gave him a kiss on the cheek, then started up the car and went to a nearby hotel.

Hu Yuefei got a room at the front desk of the hotel, then held Qin Yu's hand and they walked into the room together.

Qin Yu coordinated with him very well throughout the entire process. He would do whatever Hu Yuefei told him to do.

Before the two of them entered the house, Hu Yuefei suddenly spoke to the bodyguards behind Qin Yu: "You two can go back now, there's no need to guard this place anymore."

She was afraid that her bodyguards would see through her, so she wanted to force them away so that she wouldn't worry about doing what she wanted to do.

There weren't many bodyguards who followed beside Qin Yu today. In order to not hinder Qin Yu's everyday movements, they had always been following behind Qin Yu from a distance, and only came close to him when he was in danger.

When they were walking to the hotel earlier, they didn't go together with Qin Yu and Hu Yuefei, so they didn't notice anything abnormal about Qin Yu.

The bodyguard saw that Qin Yu did not say anything, and thought that he had tacitly agreed to Hu Yuefei's orders. Furthermore, the inn they were staying at was a property of Qin’s, and the security was not bad, so they hesitated for a moment, and followed Hu Yuefei's instructions to leave first.

Seeing that the bodyguard had gone downstairs in the elevator, Hu Yuefei then pulled Qin Yu into the hotel room, directly luring him to the bed.

Hu Yuefei turned her head to look at Qin Yu, who was by her side, silent and at her mercy. In her heart, she felt extremely happy for her wish being fulfilled, and also felt disdain and helplessness for the way she had poisoned the medicine.

Ever since she had met Qin Yu, although Qin Yu had always displayed a great liking for her no matter if it was on the surface or his actions, he had always deliberately or unintentionally avoided intimate contact with her.

For so long, all they had done was hold hands and hug. If she hadn't known that Qin Yu had also never touched her before, she would have suspected that Qin Yu really liked her.

Qin Yu seemed to be extremely sincere in their relationship, every time she wanted to kiss him a little more, he would avoid his and would even tell her to wait a bit, until he was done with the marriage between him and Bai Nianxi.

Hu Yuefei had always respected and appreciated this "innocence" of his, because it made her feel that Qin Yu cared about her and respected her.

Originally, she wanted to do as Qin Yu said, to wait for him to settle his marriage with Bai Nianxi first.

But now she was suddenly pregnant.

The child in her stomach couldn't wait any longer. She had to find the appropriate name for the child while the child was still young, which was why she drugged Qin Yu.

Qin Yu was a very cautious person, coupled with the fact that he had bodyguards following him, Hu Yuefei knew that his actions were risky, but for the sake of the child in her womb, who might be her only child in her entire life, she had to take the risk.

Tonight, after she drove Qin Yu's car to the dining hall, she took the chance to place a bottle of "seasoned" perfume on Qin Yu's car and pretended to accidentally spill the perfume bottle on the passenger seat.

This way, when Qin Yu finished his meal and came to retrieve the carriage, the inside of the carriage would be filled with the sweet smell of perfume, of course, there was also the scent of the knockout drugs that had been hidden under the aroma.

This was not an ordinary drug, but a new prescription drug for the treatment of hemiplegia. Not only was it expensive, it was something that could only be purchased by prescription.

However, this new drug is not only effective for hemiplegia, but also can control a person's speech and behavior in a short time when the injection or inhalation dose is well grasped.

Although it was called control, it was only a short period of time to paralyze a person's nerves, causing them to become dull and slow in their reactions. After the drug is inhaled, it is metabolized very quickly in the body. When the effect of the drug passes, most people who are drugged will forget what they experienced during this period.

At that time, in order to find this medicine, Hu Yuefei had to spend quite a bit of effort. Fortunately, Qin Yu was completely unprepared for her, so everything went smoothly.

Hu Yuefei leaned over and kissed Qin Yu again, but Qin Yu remained cold and indifferent, not giving her any reaction.

Because the metabolism of this medicine was very fast in the human body, which meant that its effects were very short, Qin Yu could wake up at any time, she had to finish the battle quickly.

As a result, she took out a few pieces of medicine to cheer Qin Yu up, and let him swallow them with the warm water. Then, she waited for the effects of the medicine to take effect.

When doing all this, Hu Yuefei couldn't help but look down on herself. She actually used such a despicable method to deceive the person who had always trusted and doted on her …

But she swore that after this matter, she would definitely love Qin Yu and make it up to him. When they were married and had children, they would be a happy family.

Hu Yuefei reached out her hand and touched her stomach. She would never reveal the true identity of a child in her entire life.
