56 Tantalizing Opium (1/2)

She headed to the bar in her devastated state and said to the bartender in a tired, broken voice, ”Give me the strongest you have.”

Because of the good contouring and blush on her face Lei Xinyi looked like she cried and was a delicate pitiful woman.

One look at her could draw sympathy from the coldest of hearts.

”I thought you said you don't drink alcohol.” Lei Xinyi heard from beside her.

Looking beside her from her damp long lashes, Lei Xinyi saw the same man from before leaning on her side. Blinking Lei Xinyi let out her unshed tears from her red rimmed eyes and sniffed.

Looking at the floor a little embarrassed Lei Xinyi said in a low voice, ”I…I have never drunk before… today I am too sad… sniff… I want to forget everything.”

Saying that Lei Xinyi took a deep breath and wiped the tears on her cheeks, the man beside her was in a trance looking at the beauty in front of him.

At the same time the bartender served her drink.

The man beside her picked the glass of drink from above its head and as he was passing it to her Lei Xinyi saw some powder falling in the drink from his hand and smirked inwardly.

It was the oldest trick in the book… To trick her that also by a drug he would need to step up his game.

Lei Xinyi was a naturally pale woman with tinge of redness on her cheeks.

Her full lips were cherry red with her upper lip darker than the lower and she had the two most unique pair of eyes, grey orbs with speck of gold.

After the effective makeup Lei Xinyi looked even more fragile, that any man would want to soothe her worries.

Although Lei Xinyi was no white-rose vixen, she was more of tantalizing opium but she knew all the tricks to play with heart strings.

The man beside her stepped forward and brought his hand on Lei Xinyi's back to console her but as his hand touched her back Lei Xinyi squirmed away in fear.

Then looking embarrassed Lei Xinyi bit her lower lip and said while looking at the ground, ”I.. I am sorry. I don't even know your name. I am a little uncomfortable around strangers.”

She saw from the corner of her eye the man had pursed his lips, probably angry but that expression disappeared as it came and it was replaced by a gentlemanly smile.

”Right. Where are my manners?” Then he let out a laugh and said, ”You can call me Xiaoming.”

Lei Xinyi inwardly rolled her eyes. Such inexperienced man, no wonder he isn't getting anything tonight.

He didn't say his surname when he could have used a fake name with the surname to not seem suspicious. Such a pig-headed man!

'Xiaoming' saw Lei Xinyi wasn't touching the drink, ”You aren't going to drink that? I mean you ordered to drink this, right?” He asked in an unbothered manner.

Lei Xinyi looked at the drugged drink and the man, who looked too much of a gentleman to cause any mischief on Earth.

”Yeah… I will just take it slow. I don't want to rush it and regret in the morning.” Lei Xinyi said holding the glass in her hand.

As she took it close to her lip she pretended to take a sip but instead sniffed it to know what kind of drug it was.

Date **** drug… She snickered inwardly.

Totally expected, Lei Xinyi swayed the drink in her hand then placed it back on the desk and ordered the same drink for him too.

”So what are you sad about? Love life or family issues?” Xiaoming asked her pretending to be curious.

In fact he didn't give a d*mn what was up with her, the woman was curvy and hot with naivety and innocence dripping off her.
