Stop There, Daddy

The uncle’s hand which was holding the glass stopped awkwardly in the air and he cast a sidelong glance at Wen’s mother. Wen Shuyue noticed that there was something odd in the interaction of the two and felt puzzled.

“Shuyue, don’t be a pain. For a person who fought hard in the business world, how could you not drink?” Wen’s mother received the eye signal from the distantly related uncle and urged Wen Shuyue.

“Mom, I haven’t been feeling well lately. I can’t drink,” Wen Shuyue really didn’t want to drink this glass of wine, especially with this weird distantly related uncle.

Wen’s mother’s eyes were filled with dissatisfaction and haste. She was afraid that this might fail so she could only coax Wen Shuyue to drink first and she pretended to be sad, “Alas, uncle, forget it, I’ll drink with you.”

After saying it with a voice full of helplessness and sadness, Wen’s mother looked at the distantly related uncle and signaled him with a wink. The uncle instantly understood what she meant. His wretched face moved and he said with an annoying voice, “Sis, if you can’t drink, how can I let you drink? Plus, this wine is not suitable for you.”

The uncle looked embarrassed and at a loss after saying it. When Wen Shuyue saw this, she felt bad that Wen’s mother drink the wine for her and since this uncle thought for her mother, he might not be a bad person after all.

Wen Shuyue picked up the glass on the table and clinked at Uncle Yan’s glass, then said calmly, “Uncle, this one is for you. Thank you for coming to see my mother.”

The distantly related uncle kept on raising his glass at Wen Shuyue with a sly smile on his face. In fact, whenever he clinked Wen Shuyue’s glass, he deliberately peeked inside Wen Shuyue’s clothes. Wen Shuyue took back her hands out of disgust while stood straighter so as to make her clothes cling to her body better.

“Drink, drink,” the distantly related uncle awkwardly withdrew his gaze while he reached out his hand and urged Wen Shuyue with a lascivious smile to finish the glass of wine as he finished his.

Wen Shuyue turned away out of disgust and finished her glass in one gulp, then put the glass on the table with an indifference attitude without looking at her uncle.

“Mom, I have something to deal with in my company. I’ve got to go now. You guys enjoy your chat,” Wen Shuyue was feeling uncomfortable by her uncle’s stares so she spoke of leaving.

“Shuyue, how can you be so rude to your elder? Your uncle hasn’t said anything yet and we haven’t talked yet and now you wish to leave in advance. Where are your manners?” Wen’s mother stopped Wen Shuyue and scolded her.

Wen Shuyue’s face looked harsh and slightly red. With Wen’s mother’s words, she couldn’t leave even if she wanted to. She didn’t know if it was because she drank too fast just now. Wen Shuyue felt that her face was burning and she frowned as she said to her mother, “I need to use the restroom.”

When Wen’s mother saw that she wasn’t leaving, she felt relieved and she replied happily, “Go on, hurry back.”

Wen Shuyue grabbed her bag and walked towards the restroom with a light foot step. She could still feel a pair of evil eyes staring at her hips and legs which disgusted her so much that she wanted to puke.

After Wen Shuyue came out of the restroom, she saw from the washstand that her face was obviously red and her body turned hottoer. Disregarding the exquisite make up on her face, Wen Shuyue splashed some water on her face to refresh herself. After the stimulation of the cold water, Wen Shuyue clearly felt a lot more clear-headed, but the heat in her body was getting stronger and stronger, which was obviously not normal.

Wen Shuyue looked in the direction of her seat nervously. When she saw that her uncle kept looking over to her direction and that his eyes were still full of anticipation and lust. Wen Shuyue hurried back to the restroom and thought about how to escape.

“This woman can’t be hiding in the restroom and not come out, right?” the uncle asked her mother with a little concern. He obviously couldn’t wait to taste Wen Shuyue.

“Don’t be impatient. Women always need time to spice up so as to appear more attractive, right?” Wen’s mother said with a mocking tone, as if she was trying to build up the uncle’s desire, but in her mind, she was thinking about how Wen Shuyue got raped by this man.

“She can’t find out, right?” After two minutes, the uncle was anxious and impatient, worrying that this woman would slip from his hands.

Wen’s mother looked down on this kind of man for all he ever thought about was that filthy thing. However, after giving it a second thought, she suddenly realized that only this kind of person was worthy of Wen Shuyue. She glared at the uncle and answered unhappily, “Don’t worry, it takes 10 minutes for the effect to kick in. If she doesn’t come out soon, I’ll go find her, alright?”

The distantly related uncle saw that Wen’s mother was getting a little impatient, he could only wait quietly while staring at the restroom.

Wen Shuyue continued to splash her face with cold water. She cupped the cold water and put it in her mouth so as to keep herself clear-headed and reduce the heat. Wen Shuyue raised her head from the sink and from the mirror, she saw some clothes and shoes hanging behind the restroom door. It must be the place where the staff changed their clothes to the working uniforms.

Without thinking about it, Wen Shuyue took off her high heels and put on the denim shirt, denim coat and sneakers, which felt two sizes bigger than her own clothes whereas the shoes were also not fitting but they were satisfying to Wen Shuyue since only with this outfit that she wouldn’t look like her.

Wen Shuyue tied her long hair up and stuffed it into the loose denim coat. As she saw a waiter passing through the bathroom with a tray, she quickly followed him and left the restroom.

When uncle saw a woman coming out with the waiter, he brightened up and looked but what he saw instead was a person who was wearing clothes with completely different taste to that of Wen Shuyue. He was a bit disappointed. Wen’s mother was seated with her back at the restroom, but when she saw the expression of the uncle, she knew that the target had not come out yet. Wen’s mother squinted the corner of her mouth contemptuously without saying a word.

Wen Shuyue hurriedly left the restroom and hailed a taxi and went directly to He Siming’s company.

When Wen Shuyue got out of the car, she saw He Siming’s Rolls-Royce driving up from the underground parking lot. Without hesitation, Wen Shuyue went ahead to stop the car.

Seeing that a person in a denim outfit trying to stop the car, Guan Yue brought the accelerating car to an abrupt stop in front of Wen Shuyue. The sudden stop made He Siming’s eyebrows furrowed. Wen Shuyue walked to the front of the car. When Guan Yue saw her, he rolled down the car window and asked in confusion, “Miss Wen, why are you dressed like this?”

“Open the door,” Wen Shuyue’s face turned redder and redder and she couldn’t hold it for any longer, so shhe didn’t want to waste any seconds talking to Guan Yue.

Guan Yue turned around to look at He Siming in the back seat. He Siming didn’t see Wen Shuyue’s face. He just heard Guan Yue calling her and saw that Wen Shuyue was getting in, he thought she was coming to make apology, so he nodded at Guan Yue, “Go out.”

Getting the order, Guan Yue opened the car door and walked out, leaving space for them. After Wen Shuyue sat inside the car, she finally let out a sigh of relief.

“What is it?” He Siming asked coldly, looking straight ahead without looking at Wen Shuyue.

Wen Shuyue leaned her body against her seat and said breathlessly, “I was drugged.”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Hearing it, He Siming turned around to look at Wen Shuyue, only to see that her cheeks were red, her breathing was fast, and her body was still trembling as if she had been holding it as best as she could.
