Chapter 9 Gu Yannian's Mischief
As night fell and the lights came on, the hustle and bustle of the city was gradually covered by the night. Lan Yaoxia, who was drunk, staggered back to the door of her villa. Lan Yaoxia was no longer able to drive, so Li Keyi asked Ye Yue to find a designated driver.
He staggered out the key, finally opened the door, and stumbled into the house. Once inside, he took off his shoes and stepped on the floor with his bare feet, making a "clacking" sound.
Lan Yaoxia dragged his heavy steps and walked towards the living room with difficulty. As soon as he stepped into the hall, his eyes collided with Li Jinxi who was sitting on the sofa.
At this moment, Li Jinxi was staring at him intently, with uncontrollable anger flashing in her eyes. The angry look seemed to burn Lan Yaoxia to ashes, which made people shudder.
Lan Yaoxia stared at Li Jinxi intently, and felt a chill rising from his spine, causing him to shiver involuntarily. The originally hazy drunkenness instantly dissipated, and he asked incoherently: "It's so late... why haven't you gone to rest yet?" As soon as he finished speaking, Lan Yaoxia staggered and groped, walked to the sofa with difficulty, and then collapsed on the sofa like a puddle of mud.
Li Jinxi's heart was full of doubts and dissatisfaction. She originally wanted to loudly question the person in front of her who made her love and hate him, but when she really faced him, all the words seemed to be stuck in her throat and she couldn't say them.
She walked straight towards Lan Yaoxia silently, with complex emotions flashing in her eyes. Li Jinxi gently reached out her hand and stroked his soft hair, as if this could convey the care from the bottom of her heart.
Her voice became unusually soft as she asked, "Why did you drink so much?" This simple question contained endless concern and helplessness. But at this moment, looking at the drunk Lan Yaoxia, she felt heartbroken for some reason.
But under the influence of alcohol, Lan Yaoxia muttered unclear words: "Li Jinxi, I want to divorce you..." These words were like a bolt from the blue, breaking through the silent night sky and hitting Li Jinxi's heart hard.
She stared at the man in front of her with eyes wide open, in disbelief. Whether it was drunken nonsense or a true confession under the influence of alcohol, this sentence was like an extremely sharp sword, deeply hurting her heart.
However, before she could recover from her shock, Lan Yaoxia said, "In this way, I won't have to fight with Gu Yannian anymore, and he is the only one in your heart..." His voice was filled with resentment and unwillingness.
"As long as I divorce you, I will be able to return to normal and no longer be nervous all day long. Then I will be back to normal, back to normal." At the end, Lan Yaoxia's tone gradually became low, and seemed to be full of helplessness and pain.
Perhaps subconsciously, Lan Yaoxia's consciousness prevailed, which is why he expressed his thoughts under the influence of alcohol.
After hearing these words, Li Jinxi was also panicked.
Like a soulless zombie, she mechanically opened her mobile phone and stared at the screen with empty eyes, as if she wanted to see through everything.
The message sent by Gu Yannian and the photo that echoed it suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Jinxi, I just saw Lan Yaoxia in the bar..."
"He seems to have a woman outside..."
"Maybe I'm overthinking it, don't be angry..."
It turned out that every word was like a sharp sword, piercing her chest mercilessly and making her feel miserable.
And that photo was like a bombshell, shattering the last bit of her sanity.
Originally, all of this was the evidence Li Jinxi was going to use to question Lan Yaoxia, but at this moment, she only felt a deep disgust and nausea rising in her heart.
How could that heavily made-up, seductive and charming woman be worthy of the husband she loved so much?
And how could her husband be interested in such a woman?
Li Jinxi couldn't accept this fact, she would rather believe that it was a misunderstanding.
The next day, when Lan Yaoxia woke up, it was already afternoon.
Maybe I drank too much yesterday and now I still have a headache.
Lan Yaoxia had forgotten how she got home and how she got into bed.
Obviously, Lan Yaoxia subconsciously chose to forget that he had a wife.
I quickly got up, took a shower, changed clothes, and then drove to the company.
Li Jinxi arrived at the company early in the morning, but Gu Yannian had not received any message from Li Jinxi at home. After waiting for a whole night, he could not wait any longer and decided to send a message to Li Jinxi again.
Then he turned on the voice chat and asked with concern, "Jinxi, are you okay?" There was a hint of anxiety and worry in his voice.
"That Lan Yaoxia is so outrageous!" He complained indignantly, "You are so gentle, kind, and beautiful, but he doesn't know how to cherish you and even goes out to flirt with other girls. I really don't know what he is thinking!"
However, time passed by without any response from the other party. Gu Yannian began to feel a little anxious, but deep down he still held a glimmer of hope, praying that things would develop as he expected.
As he waited, his thoughts became more and more confused and his mood became more and more excited. So he simply poured himself a glass of foreign wine, trying to calm his inner waves with alcohol.
He picked up the wine glass and gently slid his fingers across the glass wall, feeling the cool and smooth touch. Then he raised his head and took a big gulp of the wine, letting the strong liquid flow down his throat, bringing a burning sensation.
At this moment, Gu Yannian's eyes gradually blurred, and the fantasy in his mind became more and more beautiful. He seemed to see the ending he had been waiting for for a long time slowly unfolding...
After hearing these words, Li Jinxi's anger became more and more intense, and she also felt that something was wrong. She began to recall the recent events and found that she seemed to be deliberately provoked by Gu Yannian, and then she would fall into a fierce quarrel with her beloved husband Lan Yaoxia.
Li Jinxi frowned tightly, and a flash of anger flashed in her eyes. She realized that this was not accidental, and someone must be behind it! Could it be that Gu Yannian really did it on purpose? So she called her special assistant without hesitation.
Next, Li Jinxi used her mobile phone to crop the photo, carefully cutting out the man in the photo, leaving only half of the mysterious woman. After doing this, she forwarded the cut photo to the special assistant and ordered in a serious tone: "Go and investigate the identity and background of this woman immediately, and act quickly! Make sure to arrange for her to meet me this afternoon." The special assistant knew the urgency of the situation, nodded in agreement, and quickly left the office.
