Chapter 924 - Something Was Not Right With His Body (2/2)

Helian Qingyu had already contacted his men to come pick him up. When Lan Ling-Er tried to get close to him, he lifted his hand without thinking to wave to his men, directly pus.h.i.+ng her away.

It wasn’t a big deal pus.h.i.+ng her away—until she lost her balance. Her high heels tripped on the threshold of the gazebo, and she began to fall backward helplessly.

“Aaaaaaaaah…”

Ker-splas.h.!.+

Unfortunately, Lan Ling-Er fell into the water, sending up a big wave.

It was only a blunder and Helian Qingyu had not deliberately pushed her into the water. Fortunately, at this time, his men hurried over and he quickly ordered them to rescue her from the water.

He left the gazebo and got his adjutant to send him back to his mountain villa.

Lan Ling-Er could not swim. She thrashed around in the water for a long time before she was rescued. She had drank a lot of water while in the lake.

Her clothes were wet, her hair was wet, and her body was wet from top to bottom. Even her makeup was ruined. She was dragged back to the entrance of the banquet hall, shocking the president and the first lady. Many people gathered round to watch her.

Lan Ling-Er had never dreamed she would miscalculate her own plans and end up soaking wet like a dog.

Later, Yun Xuerou arranged for a room for her to rest in. Being the shrewd and cunning person she was, Lan Ling-Er took the opportunity to build a closer relations.h.i.+p with the First Lady.

But she did not know that there was another reason why Yun Xuerou had taken special care of her.

During the journey back in the car, Huo Yunshen lay back in the back seat. Since he was drunk, there was no way for him to drive. So Xu Xiyan took up the responsibility to drive herself instead.

Since Huo Yunshen was in a bad state, Xu Xiyan checked on the man through the rear mirror from time to time.

Huo Yunshen’s eyes were closed, and she could see that his brows were tightly scrunched up and his forehead was covered with bright beads of sweat. He seemed to look very unwell.

Xu Xiyan did not know that he had been restraining himself all this time. He did not dare to look at the woman before him; he was afraid that he would succ.u.mb to his l.u.s.t if he did and be unable to control himself from doing something terrible in the car.
