Chapter 42 - Chapter 41-52

Inside the Haoting Hotel's private dining room 108.

Wen Ting's phone was snatched away by a stunningly beautiful and glamorous young woman. She had wavy long hair, a delicate and pretty face, and was dressed quite fashionably. Her face was heavily made up, giving her a vibe reminiscent of the popular streamers on live platforms. A bewitching charm that didn't lose its touch of innocence. However, a malicious, cold smile always lingered in her eyes when she looked at Wen Ting.

"Wen Ting, really now. We're all about to graduate, and soon everyone will be scattered to the winds, making it hard to ever meet again. It's a rare class reunion for all of us, so why are you always on the phone? You're such a buzzkill! Come on! Let's you and I have another drink!"

This girl was named Liu Jiayu, and she was considered one of the school's famous beauties.

But compared to Wen Ting, who was an excellent student and a pure, beautiful girl with a natural temperament, Liu Jiayu's beauty, which relied on makeup and dressing up, seemed much more worldly and vulgar.

Therefore, Wen Ting was, without a doubt, unanimously named the school belle by all the boys in the school.

And Liu Jiayu, with her extremely strong vanity, could only serve as a foil.

Even the boy she had been pursuing had always had a secret crush on Wen Ting.

This made Liu Jiayu incredibly jealous and resentful of Wen Ting.

On the surface, Liu Jiayu called Wen Ting her "sister" and took care of her, but secretly, she was jealous of Wen Ting, always thinking of leading her astray, ruining her grades, and making her crush give up on her!

"Wen Ting, don't spoil the fun. How about this, I'll personally toast you. You wouldn't refuse to give me face, would you?" A handsome, tall, and slim young man holding a glass of red wine walked up to Wen Ting with a smile. He exchanged a subtle glance with Liu Jiayu, then picked up Wen Ting's wine glass, handed it to her, and said authoritatively, "Wen Ting, give me some face. Have one more drink. Just one more, and I'll have my driver take you home."

This boy was named Wang Senjie. He was a rich second-generation heir in Wen Ting's class and also a notorious delinquent in the school. The other troublemakers all called him their boss.

This class reunion had been initiated by Wang Senjie, and he was covering all the expenses.

Countless female students had a crush on Wang Senjie, but he had been crazily pursuing Wen Ting. Even after being directly rejected by Wen Ting time and time again, and even being warned by the school's teachers several times, he still refused to give up on her.

Wang Senjie saw that the college entrance exams were just around the corner. Once they graduated, he, with his abysmal academic performance, would have no hope of getting a chance to pursue the outstanding student Wen Ting. So this time, Wang Senjie had deliberately set up this scheme. He paid off a few of Wen Ting's good friends, planning to get her drunk and then make her his.

All the girls present knew Wang Senjie's intentions. Only the innocent Wen Ting was unaware that she had already become these people's prey!

"Wen Ting, your grades are so good, you're bound to have a bright future. With our grades, we'll probably only get into some ordinary university. When you get into Tsinghua or Peking University, you can't look down on us!" Another girl with a ponytail, a slightly chubby figure, and some acne on her face looked at Wen Ting with jealousy and also joined in to urge her to drink.

This girl was the vice-class monitor, the second-best student in the class after Wen Ting. Her name was Yan Xiaoli. Because Wen Ting, who didn't seem to try very hard, consistently outperformed her in academics despite her own hard work, Yan Xiaoli felt both envy and jealousy towards Wen Ting. Over time, this jealousy gradually turned into resentment!

Even though they usually had a decent relationship and Wen Ting often helped Yan Xiaoli with her studies, she still agreed to Wang Senjie's request.

A woman consumed by jealousy has no feelings to speak of; she is more vile and venomous than a poisonous snake!

Right now, Yan Xiaoli just wanted to see Wen Ting ruined. It would be best if, in this last half-year, her grades would slip due to some romantic entanglement, allowing her own college entrance exam score to surpass Wen Ting's and make her the number one student in the entire school!

"I can't... I really can't drink anymore!... My head is spinning... Give... give me back my phone..." Wen Ting said angrily, looking around as if searching for her phone.

Wang Senjie, Liu Jiayu, and Yan Xiaoli exchanged a glance, the corners of their mouths curling into triumphant smiles. They quickly stepped forward, grabbed Wen Ting's arm, and said, "Wen Ting, it looks like you're really drunk. You can't get home like this. How about I take you back?"

"No need... I... I can get back myself..." Wen Ting shook off Wang Senjie's hand, frowned angrily, and snapped at Liu Jiayu, "Give me back my phone!! Liu Jiayu... you... what are you doing? Give me back my phone now..."

"Wen Ting! You're drunk! Let Wang Senjie and I take you home!" Liu Jiayu and Wang Senjie exchanged another confirming glance, then simultaneously grabbed Wen Ting from both sides, dragging the already intoxicated Wen Ting towards the exit of the restaurant.

"Let go of me!!... What are you doing?... Let me go..." Wen Ting propped herself up, angrily pushing Wang Senjie again. She shouted at him loudly, "I said I can go back by myself! Give me back my phone!..."

"Wait! What are you doing?" Just then, a tall, slender, and handsome young man from another table, who had been watching the whole time, nervously stood up. He quickly stepped forward, blocking the path of the three, and asked, "What are you doing dragging Wen Ting around? Liu Jiayu, give Wen Ting back her phone!"

The commotion was too loud and also attracted the attention of the other classmates attending the reunion.

Everyone curiously looked over in their direction.

A few hooligan-like students stood up with cold sneers, walked over to Wang Senjie's side, and stared coldly at the young man blocking the door, their eyes full of menace.

Seeing someone stand up for her, Wen Ting immediately pleaded with the young man, "Jun Kai, make them let go of me!"

"Jun Kai, don't get involved in this! Just leave!" Liu Jiayu gave the young man a light push, saying to him in a sweet voice.

This young man was the one Liu Jiayu had always had a crush on. He was handsome, with a sweet look, very similar to the popular young celebrity, Lu Han.

Although he lacked a bit of masculine toughness, he was very gentle and kind, and his academic performance was the best among all the boys in the school.

Therefore, he had always been pursued by many girls.

But Zhou Jun Kai had always been secretly in love with Wen Ting. He was absolutely devoted to her.

And Wen Ting, in turn, had a pretty good impression of Zhou Jun Kai.

Although the two had not established a relationship, they had mutual feelings and affection for each other.

Originally, Zhou Jun Kai had planned to find an opportunity today to formally confess his feelings to Wen Ting. But unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the hotel, he was dragged to another table by a few of Wang Senjie's lackeys. He could only watch helplessly as Wen Ting, Wang Senjie, Liu Jiayu, and the others toasted each other.

Watching Wang Senjie and the others force Wen Ting to drink one cup after another, Zhou Jun Kai was angry but didn't dare to speak out. It wasn't until he saw Wang Senjie trying to take Wen Ting away that Zhou Jun Kai finally mustered the courage to stand up.

"Liu Jiayu! You've gone too far! Wen Ting trusted you so much, she treated you as her best friend! You..."

Smack!

Before the young man could finish his sentence, Wang Senjie directly slapped him across his pale, weak face.

"Zhou Jun Kai, you are fucking itching for a beating again, aren't you? Get the hell out of my way! I'm in a good mood today and don't want to hit anyone! You get the hell away from me, or don't blame me for being rude!"

Wang Senjie had slapped Zhou Jun Kai and was now glaring at him viciously, threatening him.

The three hooligan-like young men behind Wang Senjie all clenched their fists and surrounded Zhou Jun Kai with threatening expressions.

"Zhou Jun Kai! You fucking know my temper! If you don't know what's good for you, I guarantee you won't have an easy time for the rest of the year! I guarantee I'll make you lose all interest in preparing for the college entrance exam, believe it or not. And! Don't forget, it was my dad who got your dad his job! Get the hell out of my way!"

"Senjie, don't be like this! What you're doing is illegal! Everyone is watching! If someone..." Wang Senjie's threat made Zhou Jun Kai's face turn deathly pale. His body was trembling, but he still bent over and pleaded with Wang Senjie unwillingly.

"Let go of me!!... Jun Kai! Help me get my phone back!... What on earth are you trying to do?... Somebody, please help me!..." Wen Ting struggled angrily, but her hands were held tightly by Wang Senjie, Liu Jiayu, and Yan Xiaoli.

Her powerless, drunken body couldn't break free from the restraints of the three people. She could only helplessly cry for help to those around her.

Faced with Wen Ting's cries for help, the surrounding classmates showed solemn expressions, while others wore looks of excitement.

But not a single person stepped forward to help, not even a single person spoke up for Wen Ting.

Everyone fell into silence. A few girls even began to whisper to each other with glee, as if they were watching Wen Ting become a laughingstock.

Wen Ting felt the world spin. Looking at Zhou Jun Kai, who was covering his red cheek and cowardly retreating to the side, and at the indifferent classmates around her who acted as if it had nothing to do with them, Wen Ting's eyes filled with resentment and despair!

"Zhou Jun Kai! You coward! You... you are all villains!!" Wen Ting screamed with all her remaining strength, violently pushing away Wang Senjie and Liu Jiayu, who were dragging her, trying to find someone to help her.

But Yan Xiaoli gave her a hard shove from behind. Her already dizzy body staggered and fell heavily to the ground.

"Wen Ting, look at you, you can't even stand up straight! I'd better take you home!" Wang Senjie smiled triumphantly. He and Liu Jiayu went forward to help Wen Ting up, dragging her quickly towards the door.

Just then, the door to the private dining room was suddenly pushed open.

Li Bin stood at the door with a grim expression. Seeing Wang Senjie and Liu Jiayu dragging the furious Wen Ting, he said coldly to the two of them, "What are you two doing?"

"Brother-in-law!" Seeing Li Bin appear, Wen Ting was as if she had found a life-saving straw. She struggled, wanting to rush towards him, but was held tightly by Liu Jiayu and Wang Senjie. No matter how much she struggled, it was useless.

"Let her go!" Seeing Wen Ting being bullied like this, Li Bin angrily strode forward, fiercely shoving Wang Senjie away and pulling the unsteady Wen Ting into his arms.

"Brother-in-law!... Take me home!" Wen Ting's soft, delicate body reeked of alcohol as she hugged Li Bin tightly, as if deeply afraid he would let her go.

Feeling the soft, fragrant body in his arms, Li Bin's anxious heart finally calmed a little. Thankfully, he had made it in time!

"Who the hell are you? Who let you in?" Wang Senjie frowned, glaring at Li Bin with an annoyed expression, his cheek twitching.

Hearing Wen Ting call Li Bin her brother-in-law, Wang Senjie had already guessed his identity, but he was still unwilling to give up.

Just as the woman he had been pursuing for over two years was about to be his, being so suddenly interrupted made vicious thoughts arise in Wang Senjie's heart.

"I'm Wen Ting's brother-in-law. I'm here to take her home! What were you two just doing?" Li Bin stared at Wang Senjie and questioned him coldly.

"You say you're Wen Ting's brother-in-law and we're supposed to believe you? None of us know you! Let go of Wen Ting, we'll take her home!"

Liu Jiayu's eyes darted around as she tried to brazenly step forward and snatch Wen Ting away, but Li Bin simply reached out and pushed her back.

"That's right! We're having a class reunion. You suddenly barge in and want to take our classmate away, how are we supposed to believe you're her brother-in-law? What if you're a pervert? Let go of Wen Ting! We'll take her back!" Wang Senjie still refused to give up, wanting to make one last struggle.

Under the influence of alcohol, Wang Senjie was becoming somewhat hysterical. All he wanted to do now was get Wen Ting into the car and make her his, right then and there!

He liked Wen Ting too much!

He was even infatuated with her to the point of obsession!

Even if he had to pay the price for it, he would not hesitate!

"Kid, you're still too green to be playing this game with me." Li Bin took out his phone and said coldly, "Should I call your teacher right now and let them handle this? You think I don't know what you were just about to do? You think your teacher wouldn't be able to guess? Huh? Or should I call the police and have them investigate? Huh?!"

"No!! Don't tell the teacher!! We didn't have any bad intentions, we just wanted to take Wen Ting home! You... you've misunderstood!" The moment she heard Li Bin threaten to call their teacher, Yan Xiaoli immediately chickened out and hurriedly explained to him with a guilty conscience.

"Stop trying to scare us with the teacher! Wen Ting is drunk, what's wrong with me taking her home? I don't believe you're Wen Ting's brother-in-law! Let go of Wen Ting!" A vicious glint flashed in Wang Senjie's eyes as he gave a look to the three thugs beside him. The four of them coldly surrounded Li Bin.

Li Bin glanced at the table holding the alcohol, took two steps back, then suddenly grabbed a beer bottle, smashed it hard against the table, and pointed the sharp, broken end at Wang Senjie and the other three thugs who were preparing to close in. He shouted:

"Damn it! You bully my sister, and I haven't even settled the score with you yet, and you still dare to shout at me? You don't believe I'll fucking kill you?"

Seeing Li Bin's ferocity, Wang Senjie and the others froze on the spot, their faces full of panic.

Although these guys were thugs, they were, after all, just high school students.

Li Bin might not have been a street fighter, but he had been in his fair share of fights back in high school, and had even broken someone's hand once.

He might not have what it takes to take on hardened criminals, but against these high schoolers, Li Bin truly had nothing to fear!

He wouldn't even flinch if three or four of them came at him at once!

"Brother-in-law!! Don't worry about them!... I want to go home!! Home!!!" Wen Ting stubbornly held onto Li Bin tightly, shouting loudly in a daze.

"Give me my sister's phone!" Li Bin shot a fierce glare at Liu Jiayu and held out his hand coldly.

"I was just holding it for Wen Ting! Here, take it!" Liu Jiayu walked forward fearfully, trembling as she handed the phone to Li Bin.

Li Bin snatched the phone away, gave Liu Jiayu a cold look, and said, "I've remembered you!"

Li Bin then turned and smashed the sharp end of the beer bottle on the floor, pointed coldly at Wang Senjie, and said, "And you few! If I ever find out you've bullied my sister again, I swear I'll break your damn legs!"

After speaking, Li Bin supported Wen Ting and walked out of the restaurant's private room, under the fearful gaze of all the students inside.

"Wen Ting, are you okay?" Li Bin carried the drunken Wen Ting into the back seat. Holding her soft, delicate body, he asked with concern.

Wen Ting's body looked full-figured, but she wasn't heavy at all. Holding her in his arms was soft and very comfortable. Besides her full chest, she had long, slender legs and a waist so small he could encircle it with one hand. There wasn't an ounce of extra fat on her as he held her. Feeling Wen Ting's delicate, alcohol breath and the pressure of her full, soft chest against him, Li Bin's own breathing grew ragged.

With such a drunk, dazed beauty in his arms, how could Li Bin not be moved?

No wonder that boy had done something so crazy for Wen Ting. If it were him, Li Bin felt he would probably go crazy for her too.

"Brother-in-law! I... wuwuwu..."

The moment they settled into the back seat, Wen Ting threw her arms around Li Bin and burst into tears. Crystal-clear tears rolled from the corners of Wen Ting's eyes, dripping onto Li Bin's exposed shoulder, feeling a bit cool.

Wen Ting cried with a deep sense of grievance and pain.

Li Bin's heart ached to see her cry like this.

Whoever went through something like this would probably not feel very good about it.

Li Bin had originally wanted to say a few words of comfort, but being held tightly by Wen Ting's soft body and feeling the soft trembling against his chest, his mind immediately began to wander.

At a time like this, how could he be in the mood to comfort her? His mind was completely filled with lust. He really wished he could take advantage of Wen Ting's drunken state and have his way with his sister-in-law!

[Current Status: Hurt, Sad, Pained, Drunk, Confiding, Dazed, Confused]

[Achievement Unlocked: Embrace from Sister-in-law Wen Ting, Reward: Constitution +3 (73 Normal)]

[Intimacy: +20 (-20 Vigilance)]

Looking at Wen Ting's current status, Li Bin swallowed hard. His intimacy with his sister-in-law had increased because of today's events, but the overall intimacy was still at -20 Vigilance.

With intimacy at this level, it would be absolutely impossible to have a relationship with Wen Ting.

But fate had given him such a perfect opportunity!

Wen Ting's current state was clearly one of drunken confusion.

A woman in this state is the easiest to take advantage of!

First, because a woman is powerless when drunk. Second, because as the alcohol takes effect, she gradually loses consciousness, but her body, stimulated by the alcohol, becomes more sexually aroused.

And Wen Ting was clearly in this state right now.

Li Bin could feel that Wen Ting's body was completely drunk, limp and powerless, her consciousness a muddled mess, and she could no longer speak clearly.

The Wen Ting who had been guarding against him like he was a wolf was now holding him tightly without the slightest bit of vigilance, collapsed in his arms and crying her heart out.

After a moment of hesitation, Li Bin finally mustered his courage. He reached out a trembling hand and tentatively embraced Wen Ting's soft, graceful body.

"Wen Ting, it's okay now. I'm here. No one can bully you! It's alright, don't be afraid! If you want to cry, just cry your heart out..."

Feeling Li Bin's gentle embrace, Wen Ting's body, which had already gone limp, tensed up again. She struggled weakly and cried out incoherently, "Let me go... what are you guys doing... let go of me... let go... no... get away..."

Li Bin was caught off guard by Wen Ting's sudden reaction. He immediately pulled her back into his arms and comforted her gently, "Wen Ting, it's okay! It's all over! It's me! It's your brother-in-law! I'm taking you home now!"

Li Bin gently patted Wen Ting's back, and only then did she gradually relax. Her body went limp and collapsed into Li Bin's arms, her mouth muttering drunken nonsense.

Li Bin waited for a moment and saw that Wen Ting seemed to have fallen asleep. Only then did he gather his courage, take a deep breath, and gently release her. He propped her head against his shoulder, breathing rapidly as he gazed at the beautiful girl in his arms.

Wen Ting's features were exquisite. Large eyes, long eyelashes, a beautiful, straight nose, fair and smooth skin, and those delicate, rosy lips that were slightly parted, exhaling faint wisps of alcohol.

"Gulp~~~" Looking at Wen Ting's luscious smile, Li Bin licked his lips and slowly brought his own moist lips closer to hers.

As their lips met, with just a light touch, Li Bin felt as if he'd been struck by lightning, his whole body trembling with excitement.

The soft, delicate sensation made Li Bin feel intoxicated with bliss.

*****

"Li Bin, you're finally back? Why didn't you answer your phone?"

"Li Bin, how's Wen Ting? What happened? How did she get so drunk?"

"Brother-in-law, why did you take so long?"

When they saw Li Bin's car pull into the garage, Shen Han, Wen Wan, and Wen Lan immediately rushed over, looking at the drunken Wen Ting with anxious and concerned expressions as they questioned Li Bin.

Suppressing the guilty anxiety in his heart, Li Bin feigned anger and said, "This damn girl, her classmates got her drunk. When I got there, I saw a young hooligan from her school trying to take her away! When I tried to bring her back, that group even tried to start a fight!"

"If I had been any later, this girl's life would have been ruined."

"Which students were they? I'm going to their school tomorrow! These motherless bastards, they're getting out of hand!! How dare they be so bold!!" Shen Han's face flushed with anger as she panted, taking out her phone to make a call.

"Wen Wan, Wen Lan, you two come and help carry Wen Ting to her room. She's had too much to drink and needs to rest. We can talk about anything else tomorrow after she wakes up." Li Bin opened the back door, reached out to hold Wen Ting's slender waist, and lifted her out of the car.

"This damn girl! I don't know what she's up to all day! Fortunately, her brother-in-law was there, otherwise, this girl's life would really have been ruined! The college entrance exams are just around the corner, how can Wen Ting be so thoughtless?!" Wen Lan shot a grateful glance at Li Bin, then, together with Wen Wan, took Wen Ting from Li Bin's arms one on each side and carried the groggy girl upstairs.

Watching Wen Ting being carried upstairs, Li Bin's heart began to beat even faster.

But just kissing her was already a heinous crime!

If Wen Ting had been conscious for even a moment, and woke up tomorrow morning, he would probably be in serious trouble.

Just now, Li Bin had been driven by lust, incredibly bold.

But now that he had calmed down, his heart was filled only with lingering fear and regret.

A strong sense of guilt made Li Bin feel incredibly uneasy.
