Chapter 44 men and women drinking, will there be any accidents?

GLORY WORLD GROUP, TOP FLOOR OFFICE.

The 88-story building could outshine all the luxurious offices in Jiangcheng, but it was simply designed in black and white.

A tall figure stood in front of the window, looking out at the night sky. He had an imposing manner that could not be ignored.

"Master," Han Beicheng said as he finished with a phone call. "It's getting late, I should drive you home."

Han Beicheng took Qiao Hanye's coat and draped it on his master's shoulder. Qiao Hanye nodded and walked to the private elevator, Han Beicheng in tow. They left through the basement.

Qiao Hanye came home to Scenery Garden, which was always brightly lit at night.

While the place symbolized the prosperity and stability of Jiang City, it was also like the undercurrents of the waves. Having returned home, Qiao Hanye changed into comfortable clothes before heading to the balcony to make a phone call. His gaze lingered on the dark bedroom next door.

She had not come back since she returned to the He residence. It was as if she had disappeared from Qiao Hanye's life in the blink of an eye without leaving a trace.

"He Lanjin," Qiao Hanye said into the pitch-back room.

They had met totally by chance, and he–who had initially resisted women–had started having feelings he had never had before. She had awakened a strong desire in him, but she left without a word. Would he see her again?

Qiao Hanye looked up at the stars. He, who was well-prepared for everything, seemed unable to read even an eighth of this woman's thoughts.

Qiao Hanye stood in the balcony for a long time, looking at the wound that He Lanjin had bandaged.

"Qiao Hanye." He Lanjin's extremely pleasant voice surprised Qiao Hanye, causing his lips to curl into a sneer. He, the heir of the Qiao family, was actually hallucinating.

He Lanjin rushed into her room with two bottles of wine. Seeing him in the shared balcony, she ran toward him and grabbed his arm to drag him inside.

"Come, I'm in a good mood today," He Lanjin said. "Let me treat you to some good wine." On the table, she set the fine wine that Qin Nan had sent her. He Lanjin pushed Qiao Hanye onto the sofa and threw a bottle at him in a carefree manner.

He Lanjin walked to the bar counter and poured two glasses of good wine.

"How about you, are you in a good mood?" He Lanjin asked. Qiao Hanye looked at her smiling face. The smile reminded him of the color of spring. They were so charming they could steal one's soul.

"Hmm... Mr. Qiao, you didn't break up with someone, did you?" He Lanjin said as she took a sip of the wine. She looked at Qiao Hanye's peerlessly handsome face and saw his thin lips were tightly pursed. He had a serious look on his face.

Break up with someone? Why would she ask him that? Qiao Hanye downed the glass of red wine in one gulp. "I'm not in love."

"Eh, are you blushing?" He Lanjin asked as she studied his face. Although Qiao Hanye looked calm and dignified, his ears and neck seemed to be dyed red. She could not help approaching him so she could see him clearly.

He Lanjin drew nearer, her playful movements shifting her oversized sweater and exposing one of her shoulders. Her skin looked so fine and delicate as if it would break with a soft blow. She sat close to Qiao Hanye, and a faint whiff of her fragrance filled his nose.

Qiao Hanye's Adam's apple moved. His abdomen felt stuffy and hot. His whole body tensed up as if on fire.

"It's getting late. It's time to sleep," Qiao Hanye said in a low voice. He put down his wine glass and stood up to leave.

He Lanjin grabbed Qiao Hanye's arm and forcefully pulled him back. "It's still early. It's rare that I'm in such a good mood. Let's drink two more glasses."

Qiao Hanye was forced to sit down. She seemed to have already drunk several glasses before this and she wants to drink two more?

"Ah, why is this wine so strong?" He Lanjin muttered to herself as she leaned against the sofa. "I remember Qin Nan clearly saying the alcohol level isn't too high."
