A night can change a lot of things.
Wen Ling woke up with a pounding headache, which was probably due to the aftereffects of drinking too much. She felt very uncomfortable.
"Uh... Ou Ou... I want to drink water, I'm thirsty..."
With her eyes half-closed, Wen Ling sat up, rubbing her head and making a humming noise.
A cup of warm honey water was placed in her hand, and Wen Ling drank it all in one gulp. After finishing, she licked her lips and said, "Wow, the sun is rising from the west! Ou Ou, you're so kind to me, giving me honey water! Hehe, hehe..."
She opened her eyes, squinting and smiling at the person in front of her. But in an instant, she was shocked, her eyes wide with surprise, and her mouth agape.
"You... you... you..."
Was she dreaming? Why did she see Uncle Hao yesterday, but today she saw Cheng Ge?
His distinctive light red hair...
Lian Kang took the cup from Wen Ling's hand and poked her forehead, half-reproachfully saying, "You drank a lot yesterday, you were really drunk."
Yes, last night... because she was heartbroken, she had gone out with a group of friends to drink.
"Oh, sorry about that, did I get drunk and crazy? Did I throw up or... or did I lose control of my bladder?"
Wen Ling scratched her head, saying this and that, before suddenly remembering something crucial - "Wait, I remember I went home, why am I in this room?"
The huge bedroom, much larger than her small rental room... and the cold, blue-and-white striped curtains... this place was too unfamiliar.
She looked at Lian Kang, who was smiling, and then looked around, taking in the large bed and her own clothes...
"Ah!" She gasped.
Who changed her into this sleepwear?
This revealing, conservative sleepwear was who put it on her?
Wen Ling pulled at her sleepwear, looking down and gasping again.
Who took off her bra?
"Who... who... who changed my clothes?"
Lian Kang, who was facing away from Wen Ling, coughed and said, "Me."
"What? What? Why did you do that? How could you?"
Lian Kang turned around, looking wronged, "I didn't want to change your clothes, but you insisted on taking off all your clothes, like you had a sudden urge to expose yourself. I couldn't just watch you like that, so I put this sleepwear on you. If you don't like it, you can take it off now."
"Ah..."
Wen Ling shrank back, covering her chest with her hands.
"Never mind, I'll just wear it." It was better than being naked, after all. "I... I don't know why I got so drunk and crazy. I've never been like that before."
Lian Kang, wearing a black V-neck sweater and white casual pants, with his light red hair, exuded a strong and intelligent aura.
"Because I took you in, I had to sleep in the study, and my waist is all sore from it. You're not even grateful, and you're talking to me like this, Wen Ling. Do you think I'm the kind of person who would take advantage of you?"
"Uh... you... of course not."
What could she say? That he was a bad person?
Lian Kang raised an eyebrow, looking at Wen Ling's pale shoulders, and said, "Also, I saved you twice yesterday. I was on my way home when I saw you being kidnapped by some thugs, so I went to rescue you."
"What? Kidnapped? Was I that valuable?"
Wen Ling blinked, suddenly admiring the thugs for knowing that her rich mother had just appeared and that they would kidnap her.
"I saved you twice, so you should thank me. How about you make me breakfast?"
"Ah? Breakfast?"
Was that all?
Lian Kang glared at Wen Ling, "What, you don't want to make breakfast to thank me? Do you want to... offer yourself to me instead?"
Sweat dripped down her face...
"Ah, I'll make breakfast for Cheng Ge, of course!"
Wen Ling jumped down from the bed and ran downstairs to make breakfast.
Wow, Lian Kang's house was huge, just like Uncle Hao's. It was a waste of space, with just one person living in such a large house.
While cooking, she suddenly remembered what happened last night.
She forgot everything else, but remembered Zheng Bi Fan holding an engagement ring, standing next to Old Man Bai, under the starry sky.
She wanted to cry, but swallowed her tears in front of Lian Kang.
Sigh... Uncle Hao was engaged...
"Is the food okay?"
Wen Ling asked Lian Kang, who was eating, with a timid expression.
Lian Kang chewed slowly, swallowed, and drank some soup before saying, "It's not bad. I'll hire you as my personal chef, name your price."
"Ah... how can you..."
Wen Ling pouted and muttered.
Uncle Hao was the same, finding excuses to hire her to work at his house. She didn't expect Lian Kang to be the same... did all men have this habit?
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, nothing. I'm not good at cooking, thanks for the offer, Cheng Ge."
Lian Kang looked at Wen Ling and said, "You know, yesterday, Bai Hao Nan and Zheng Jia's daughter got engaged."
"Ah... cough... cough..." Wen Ling almost choked, coughing and tearing up before nodding.
"It's okay, he doesn't want you, but I do. Wen Ling, I like you, and I want to marry you. Can you consider it?"
"Ah... cough!"
She was choked again.
Please, Cheng Ge, can we not discuss this during meals?
"I don't know if Ou Ou was worried about me not going home last night. Did he do anything to me?"
She was so drunk that she forgot what happened to Ou Ou last night.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
Lian Kang smiled slyly, holding up a newspaper, and said, "The milkman is here, go open the door."
"Okay."
Cheng Ge even subscribed to milk delivery, what a man who enjoyed life.
"Coming!"
Wen Ling had changed into her own clothes, but was wearing an apron, looking like a housewife. She opened the door.
But instead of milk...
There were cameras and reporters.
Click! Click!
The flash made Wen Ling dizzy.
Lian Kang walked up behind her, putting his hand on her shoulder.
The scene was perfect - Lian Kang's house, a woman in an apron, a man standing behind her, a romantic couple's life.
The next day, the news was all over the papers.
"University Student Captivates the Heart of the Black Dragon!"
"The Black Dragon's Love Story - The True Love of the Ghost Python!"
"University Student Co-habiting with Lian Kang!"
The reporters, who had received benefits from Lian Kang, exaggerated the story, saying that Lian Kang had loved Wen Ling for a year...
That they had been secretly dating for a long time...
That they were already living together, belonging to each other...
That they were planning to get engaged and married soon...
The Ghost Python organization wasn't as famous as the Mitsui company, but it was still a notable underground organization in the country.
Lian Kang, the leader of the Ghost Python, had always kept his personal life private, but now, suddenly, a co-habiting university student girlfriend appeared, shocking the whole nation.
Wen Ling was even more shocked.
Su Ou woke up from her hospital bed, gritting her teeth in pain, and looked around. She punched Lan Qi's head, shouting, "You dare to sleep on my bed? I told you to sleep on the floor! Did you do anything to me last night? You're looking at my sister with lust, aren't you?"
Lan Qi rubbed his head, getting up from the bed.
Su Ou looked at the nurse who came in and was shocked, "What? Are we getting special care? Or did you buy a nurse mistress? How dare you bring this kind of woman into our house! I told you, you can only play outside, never bring any women into our home!"
The nurse was shocked and fell to the ground.
Lan Qi rubbed his temples, "Sister, this is a hospital! Hospital!"
Su Ou was stunned.
"Who's sick? Is it that idiot, Liang Bai? She was drinking like crazy yesterday, I knew she had no self-control..."
Lan Qi's forehead was throbbing, and he finally lost his temper, "Su Ou, it's you who got drunk and passed out! You even got a big bump on your head, how embarrassing!"
A small mirror was held up to Su Ou's face, and she looked at her reflection, seeing the bandage on her forehead. She shouted, "Who ruined my perfect face? I'll kill them!"
The nurses fell to the ground again.
This was... a woman?
Fierce.
Su Ou suddenly slapped her forehead, hitting the wound, and winced in pain, "I remember, Liang Bai was taken away by some bad people last night... we have to save her..."
"Ah, Wen Ling?"
Lan Qi's words were echoed by a nurse, "Wen Ling? Is this Wen Ling?"
The newspaper was handed to them...
"Ah... ah... ah..." Lan Qi and Su Ou shouted in unison.
Wen Ling looked at the newspaper, her hands shaking.
What was she going to do? Not only
