Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 209 - 202: Leng Yichen’s Punishment (Part 2)

Bai Yiran’s stomach was still churning from the last glass of alcohol, and now the second glass followed swiftly.

Raising the glass, Bai Yiran downed the second one in one go.

"Good!"

Someone at the dining table began to cheer for Bai Yiran’s bold action. Yao Zhiqing’s husband finally showed a satisfied smile, yet he didn’t pour Bai Yiran a third glass, as he could see she had reached her limit.

After drinking two and a half glasses of white wine, Bai Yiran’s face turned a cute shade of pink, her head began to spin slightly, and her hands trembled uncontrollably. When she tried to pick up some food to ease the burning in her stomach, she couldn’t manage to do it for a while.

"Yiran, are you okay?" Yao Zhiqing finally noticed Bai Yiran’s abnormality and asked with concern.

"I’m fine..." Bai Yiran’s voice was somewhat shaky. She started feeling as if her body wasn’t her own, with a sense of drifting making her vision blur. She thought this must be the so-called feeling of being tipsy. "I’ll go to the bathroom for a bit."

In the bathroom, Bai Yiran kept splashing cool water on her face. The feeling of wanting to vomit but being unable to was particularly uncomfortable. Supporting herself on the sink, her mind weakened, Bai Yiran closed her eyes, lacking even the strength to lift her eyelids.

So, she’s always thought alcohol was no good, drinking only made her feel worse. Saying that alcohol can drown one’s sorrows is nonsense!

Bai Yiran took a long time in the bathroom without coming out, and people at the table started to wonder if the young lady had fallen asleep in there.

Yao Zhiqing began to worry, seeing that Bai Yiran had already been inside for almost fifteen minutes. Judging from her earlier behavior, she must have been drunk. She glared at her husband with blame. The man looked sheepish, thinking, isn’t it just two glasses of alcohol? An assistant is there to do these things for the boss; otherwise, what’s the point of having a pretty assistant?

As it approached twenty minutes, Yao Zhiqing could no longer sit still. Just as she stood up to check on Bai Yiran, a tall figure reached the bathroom door before her.

Leng Yichen, with a dark face and knitted brows, knocked on the bathroom door, "Bai Yiran! Can you hear me? Open the door!"

There was no response from inside. Leng Yichen knocked harder, "Bai Yiran! Can you hear me? Open the door quickly!"

He still couldn’t hear Bai Yiran’s response. The bathroom door was locked from the inside, and Leng Yichen couldn’t get in. Gripping the handle and shaking it vigorously, Leng Yichen reached the limit of his patience, lifted his long leg, and kicked the door hard.

With a bang, the bathroom door was violently kicked open by Leng Yichen.

Bai Yiran was slumped over the sink, already passed out. Leng Yichen walked over, lifted her up, and cradled her in his arms, "Girl, wake up!"

Bai Yiran frowned, suddenly startled awake, and a strong wave in her stomach was hard to suppress.

Ugh!

Bai Yiran leaned forward, making a vomiting gesture. Seeing this, Leng Yichen quickly supported her, using his large hand to gently pat her back, hoping to make her feel a bit more comfortable.

At this moment, everyone at the dining table was stunned. President Leng had just kicked down the bathroom door for Bai Yiran!

What was going on? Could it really be because Bai Yiran toasted him that President Leng fell for her at first sight?

Bai Yiran vomited until she was disoriented, and Leng Yichen wasn’t disgusted by her at all, helping her to rinse her mouth and clean up the mess.

"How do you feel? Any better?" Leng Yichen’s voice was gentle, with an unconcealed worry in every word.

Bai Yiran lifted her head drowsily, looking at him, "Leng Yichen... are you punishing me?"

Leng Yichen pursed his lips and didn’t speak. He regretted it, knowing well that Bai Yiran couldn’t handle alcohol, yet he still watched her drink those two glasses. He thought at the time, as long as she lowered her head and showed an attitude of submission, he would never tolerate anyone forcing her to do anything she didn’t want to do.

But he forgot how stubborn Bai Yiran was! She’d rather suffer in pain than submit to him.

Bai Yiran looked at Leng Yichen, only feeling her eyelids grow heavier until finally, she collapsed directly into his arms.

Leng Yichen carried Bai Yiran out of the bathroom without pausing or speaking, and walked straight out of the private room.

Yao Zhiqing was somewhat worried. What did it mean for Bai Yiran to be carried away by Leng Yichen like that? Would Bai Yiran be in danger? Just as she intended to step forward and stop him, her husband held her back.

"I just remembered!" An executive at the table suddenly exclaimed, "I was wondering why that young lady looked so familiar! Isn’t she President Leng’s ex-wife!"

Leng Yichen’s ex-wife!

One sentence instantly set the whole room abuzz, with the most shocked being Yao Zhiqing and her husband.
