Ni Jiu - INTOXICATED (NOVEL)

Chapter 23

Before Shen Ting took a bath, she felt that her calf that had been soaked in hot water was in severe pain. When she wiped her body after taking a shower, she found that there were signs of swelling in the place where she was injured. If she didn’t take care of it, it might affect her work tomorrow.

Auntie didn’t live at home, and he was the only one in the huge house at night, so he took a towel to dry his body, simply tied the strap of his bathrobe, and walked out of the room with his slippers on. He wanted to go to the living room to check if there was a medicine cabinet. .

Although he has lived here for a while, he is still not familiar with it. He can only guess by his own habits whether Lian Jue will also put the medicine box in the coffee table or the drawer under the TV cabinet, but he quickly He denied the first half of the sentence. Lian Jue probably wouldn’t have time to do these things by himself, and most likely a nanny or assistant would prepare it.

The open drawers are all empty, and the solid wood drawer can’t even find any sawdust. In fact, not only the drawers, but the whole villa is spotless, neat and tidy like a model room for viewing only, except for the huge double-door refrigerator full of Apart from fresh ingredients, I can’t find anything else popular.

He couldn’t find the medicine box and had to give up. Shen Ting didn’t close the drawer under the TV cabinet, and was about to stand up against the edge of the cabinet. He wanted to see if there were frozen ice cubes or popsicles in the refrigerator. Take a cold compress to reduce swelling.

The short beep of the electronic door lock sounded in silence.

Shen Ting didn’t fully react when he turned his head, and his eyes first turned to the lowered eyes of the person who entered the door. Shen Tingwei was stunned for a moment, then the deep and dark eyes in his sight slowly recovered a little clarity from the turbid fog, and his eyes stooped away from him. The loose, half-open bathrobes were drawn up.

Lian Jue stopped entering the door, turned his body slightly, blocked the door, and said to the person behind him, “Go back first.”

“Okay President Lian.” The outsider responded. It was Lin Chen’s voice.

Shen Tingwei squatted on the ground and re-fastened his bathrobe, stood up, and stayed where he was, not knowing whether he should go back to his room or say hello first. It doesn’t seem very polite to go directly to the room.

Fortunately, Lian Jue spoke first: “What are you looking for?”

Lian Jue loosened his tie and walked in, looking a little tired.

Shen Ting didn’t answer right away, he stood in front of the TV cabinet, watching Lian Jue walk to the sofa and sit down, resting his elbows on the armrests on the side of the sofa, rubbing the frown between his brows.

“Do you want to drink some water?” Shen Tingwei asked hesitantly.

Lian Jue looked very uncomfortable.

Lian Jue hummed “um” lightly, then closed his eyes, and said in a very natural and skillful tone, “Warm water will do.”

Shen Ting didn’t bring half a glass of warm water as he intended, and as soon as he approached, he smelled the clear alcohol smell mixed with tobacco smell on Lian Jue’s body. Lian Jue drank wine.

Lian Jue reached out and took the warm glass. After taking a sip, he raised his eyes and asked again, “What did you just look for?”

Shen Tingwei was a little embarrassed when he was caught digging through other people’s things without authorization, and replied in a low voice, “I want to find out if there is a medicine cabinet.”
