After Being Betrayed, I Married a Tycoon in a Flash

Chapter 21: Chapter 21 Could it be that, you are missing me?

Rose Residence, within Shuian Blue Bay.

Ye Shu sprawled on the cushion with a hand still clasping the half-empty bottle of red wine, swaying to and fro.

“Jerks, they’re all jerks… Sun Nanjue, you’d better pray I never see you again, otherwise, I’ll punch you every time I do!”

Everyone was an adult, and Ye Shu had been very clear, from the moment she failed to intercept Ou Linlin, about what would happen next.

However, knowing the outcome didn’t quell the sense of unwillingness in her heart.

She couldn’t do anything; she was utterly powerless!

...

Ye Xinyu was right; she really was like a lost dog now!

She had lost her family wealth, her relatives, and now even her friends were dragged down by her…

A cool breeze wafted by, stirring the locust flowers on the shore, and small white petals fluttered in, landing on the tip of her nose.

The fragrance of the locust blossoms seeped in, and Ye Shu suddenly sneezed.

She felt a dizzying sensation.

With her right hand, she knocked on her muddled head, sat cross-legged on the Huali wood floor, tilted her head back, and took another big gulp.

The burning sensation of the alcohol spread from her throat to her stomach.

The tumultuous sensation made her lean over the wooden couch at the water’s edge, violently vomiting.

She felt as if all her insides were about to come out; the feeling was indescribably painful, yet there was a hint of exhilaration, offering her a brief respite.

Ye Shu rolled over and lay back on the couch, her ink-black curly hair cascading down, the tips brushing the clear surface of the man-made lake; with the wind blowing, she looked as beautiful as a painting.

Ye Shu raised the wine bottle in her hand, pouring its contents over herself.

The red liquid completely spilled onto the blue chiffon hem of her dress, a shocking sight.

The phone hanging around her neck began ringing.

Ye Shu flung the empty wine bottle onto the floor, grabbed her phone, and peered, bleary-eyed, at the incessantly flashing screen.

The bold characters for ‘Sheng Ancestor’ splashed across the screen, shimmering with the ringtone, absurdly comical.

Ye Shu, exhaling alcohol fumes, chuckled foolishly, her fair, slender fingers sweeping over the screen to answer, “Hello!” Her voice carried the recklessness of intoxication, quite loud.

A gasp of breath came from the other end of the phone, followed by a long silence.

Ye Shu staggered to her feet, pacing around the tatami, raising her phone high before bringing it back to her ear, “Hello, hello, speak up!”

Still silence on the other end, and through the static of the wireless signal, only some disordered breathing could be heard.

The signal was clearly good, so why the silence? What kind of charade was this?

Ye Shu, who didn’t have the best tolerance for alcohol, started feeling irritated, tugged at her collar, and griped, “Sheng Ancestor, what new tricks are you playing now? I’m here at your beck and call, so go on, give your orders!”

Silence persisted on the other end, but the breaths coming in through the wireless waves seemed even more ragged than before.

Ye Shu slumped onto the Huali wood floor, shaking her phone and said in an eerie voice, “Could it be, you’re missing me? Hehe, then just come to Rose…”

Ye Shu didn’t finish her sentence when the line on the other end was abruptly disconnected.

Squinting her eyes, Ye Shu stared at the darkened phone screen and jabbed her finger at the black void of the screen, cursing whilst inebriated, “Lunatic!”

She was truly drunk.

Her head ached, her throat parched and burning, Ye Shu swayed as she stood up, wanting to find some water to drink.

However, no sooner had she stood up than she stumbled, taking several lurching steps forward, accidentally stepping on the empty wine bottle she had tossed on the floor. Her foot slipped, and flung her body forward; her forehead struck the corner of the tatami, knocking her unconscious.
