Chapter 1828: Extra: Escape
Almost at the same time when their eyes met, Jane Eyre quickly looked away, her heart suddenly jumped, and her folded hands slowly clenched into a small fist.
"Miss Jane?"
The tall figure blocked all her sight, and the low voice sounded in her ears. Jane Eyre could feel the cool breath emanating from the man's body without looking up.
Almost the moment Nan Sijue stood up and walked over, Jane Eyre was on alert.
She looked up and met that handsome face, and the scene of that night actually appeared in her mind.
The entangled figure and the pressing breath.
She obviously didn't want to recall it, but the scene was not under her control at all, and it was replayed in her mind.
"Yes, sorry, I'm going to the bathroom!" She almost wanted to run away.
"That, is she Lu Qiming's daughter-in-law?"
"Hey, her son has been dead for several years, how can she be a daughter-in-law? I don't know what Lu Qiming is thinking, letting his daughter-in-law come? But this woman is pretty, could it be..."
Behind her, there were several sarcastic discussions. Jane Eyre felt her face burning, and her steps became faster.
"Wait!" Before she walked out of the room, her wrist was tightly grabbed by a hot big hand. She was so shocked that she pulled her hand back, but was held back by the man with greater force.
"Miss Jane looks familiar! Have we met somewhere?" The tone of voice seemed to be smiling, if Jane Eyre looked back, she could see the coldness in the man's eyes.
What a vulgar conversation, but it made Jane Eyre stiffen, and a mist appeared in her originally clear eyes.
Jane Eyre turned back, her eyes passed over Nan Sijue's, and she smiled stiffly: "Mr. Nan, maybe you recognized the wrong person?"
As soon as the voice fell, Jane Eyre clearly felt that the eyes above her head became colder and colder. She didn't need to look up to guess his expression at the moment.
"Really? But Miss Jane really looks like an old friend of mine!"
"..."
"Miss Jane, are you interested in having a drink with me?" The cold tone was not like a question, but more like an order.
Jane Eyre hesitated, but when she thought of her father-in-law's words, all her reluctance was buried deep. Lu Jing was gone, so she should replace Lu Jing.
"Okay!" Jane Eyre raised her little face and smiled.
She was born beautiful. Today, Lu Qiming spent a lot of money to make her look good in order to make her please Nan Sijue. She became more beautiful with careful dressing.
Jane Eyre smiled, and her fingers gently fiddled with the long hair hanging down in front of her forehead, and her little face was exposed under the dim light.
Because of Bai, her eyebrows and eyes are more delicate, her obsidian-like beautiful eyes are slightly narrowed, and her red lips are slightly hooked, with a bit of charm.
The originally noisy voices suddenly quieted down, and even the sound of someone swallowing saliva could be heard.
Looking at the woman in front of him who was smiling like a flower, Nan Sijue felt a little complicated, and more of it was anger that he couldn't explain clearly.
"Come on, let Miss Jane and President Nan have a drink!" Someone handed over two glasses of wine.
Jane Ai looked at the wine glasses brought over, which were filled with high-proof white wine.
"Thank you!"
Reaching out to take one of the glasses, Jane Ai smiled and drank it all in one breath amid the laughter of everyone. The white wine flowed through her throat and into her stomach. The burning sensation stimulated her eyes to redden. She coughed violently, and the back of her hand pressed her lips tightly to prevent the sound from flowing out.
"Okay, it's your turn, President Nan!" Jane Ai took a deep breath, suppressed the discomfort in her heart, and said with a smile.
Nan Sijue did not move, his eyes moved away from her face, and then fell on the empty wine glass in her hand.
"Oh, I didn't expect Miss Jane to be not only beautiful, but also have a great drinking capacity! Come on, I'll toast you another glass!" The man who brought the wine was obviously drunk. He watched Jane Eyre drink a glass of white wine in one breath, and his cloudy eyes were full of light. As he spoke, he ran to get two more glasses of wine and handed them over.
"No need!" Jane Eyre pushed it away without even thinking about it. Although she represented the Lu family, she knew her drinking capacity. She didn't want her scandal to appear on the headlines of tomorrow's newspapers: "It's late, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first! All the expenses for everyone tonight will be charged to my father-in-law's account. Mr. Nan, have fun!"
After saying that, he pushed the door and left without caring about the expressions of the others.
The door was quickly opened and closed. Indistinctly, there seemed to be the sound of glass falling to the ground and breaking. Jane Eyre didn't think much about it. She knew how strong the white wine was. It seemed that she had to call the driver to pick her up!
It was already late at night, and the cool breeze blew, making Jane Eyre's originally drowsy head a little sober. She took out her cell phone and was about to call the driver when suddenly a dazzling light shone over.
She subconsciously stretched out her hand to block the light. Through her fingers, she seemed to see someone getting off the car and walking towards her.
In the backlight, she couldn't see the man's face clearly, but his tall body was filled with anger. Jane Eyre subconsciously wanted to escape, but before she could move, she was carried up by someone. Her abdomen was against the man's shoulder, and she felt uncomfortable when she walked.
"Ah, what are you doing! Let me go!" She screamed, her pretty face full of panic.
"Shut up!"
The big hand slapped her hips hard, and the soft touch made him almost want to crush it in his palm.
"Snap!"
Jane Eyre was thrown hard on the passenger seat. As soon as her body touched the seat, she wanted to get up immediately, but before she could move, she was tightly suppressed by the man's strong arms.
The distance between the two was too close, and Jane Eyre could even smell the faint smell of tobacco on the man.
"Nan Sijue, what do you want to do? Did I not treat you well enough?" Jane Eyre didn't dare to move. She stiffened her body and wanted to sink into the seat. She looked at Nan Sijue with vigilance.
She didn't know what this man wanted to do.
"What do I want to do?" He raised his eyebrows, his tone was low and dangerous.
His thin lips were slightly hooked, looking at Jane Eyre's face as if she was facing a great enemy, his eyes were full of ridicule.
His eyes moved down from her pretty little face little by little, and finally fell on her drooping collar.
Looking down like this, the scenery is very good.
It's just...
"Heh, I should be the one asking Miss Jane this, right? Miss Jane appeared in my bathroom a few nights ago without any clothes on, and today she's wearing so..." His slender fingers brushed across her lips, and he continued, "I want to ask Miss Jane what she wants to do? What tricks are you trying to play?"
"You're talking nonsense!"
"Are you angry because I said it?" Nan Sijue smiled at the angry Jane Eyre, his deep eyes as bright as stars, but full of ice.
