Chapter 699 He Was Like a Madman, Kissing Her and Leaving a
Mo Yao saw the message and carefully confirmed it word by word, afraid that he had misread it. "Mr. Li, you didn't send the wrong message, did you""...."
Luo Ningxi was being held back again!
I've been trying to contact Yushi Group these past two days to resolve the outstanding issues, but their responses have been vague and evasive.
She couldn't directly ask Yu Chengnan, afraid of causing him any trouble.
I never expected this matter would fall directly into Li Bocen's hands!
Ming Ming Yu and the Li family were worlds apart...
"Don't give me that look, I'm already doing you a favor by coming to clean up this mess the Yus caused. "
"Okay." Luo Ningxi took a deep breath and accepted the contract that Li Bochen handed her, "I'll have the project manager connect with you after..."
"The resort incident has blown up, and the only reason it hasn't been completely overturned by public opinion is because the Li family is suppressing it. Now that I'm here personally to handle this, you expect me to be appeased by just anyone"
"If the cooperation hasn't started yet, how do you know it's just lip service"
Li Boche's voice was laced with coldness, "Since you refuse to admit you're pregnant, you must be in good health. I want you...to handle it personally!!"
Keep her under your nose, there are plenty of opportunities to take her to the hospital.
Luo Ningxi wanted to swear at him, but she forced herself to hold back.
"If you have any questions, feel free to contact me anytime. See you later."
After finishing, Lu Ningxi took the contract and turned to leave the room.
……
As soon as Luo Ningxi walked out of the hotel, she received a call from Xiao Jin, "Luo Zong, how is it over there I've already made all the arrangements before."
"I'm out now. Li Bochen did try to test me, luckily you had someone change the wine earlier."
Luo Ningxi wiped her mouth, secretly letting out a breath of relief.
From the moment Li Bochen invited her to dinner, she had guessed that he was going to test her.
So, she first got Xiao Jin to contact the hotel and have her drinks replaced with non-alcoholic ones in advance. She had deliberately pretended to drink so much in front of Li Bochen just now. Unless he was being overly cautious and examined them carefully, he shouldn't be able to tell the difference.
"By the way, regarding the follow-up on the resort project, Yù Shi Group has handed it over to Lì Báo Chén. You can liaise with him from now on."
"Young Master Li... wouldn't that mean he'll make things difficult for you again" Xiao Jin's voice immediately turned serious.
"Right now, I just want to get this thing resolved and then completely cut ties with the Li family."
Lu Ningxi let out a soft sigh. The culprit behind the collapse of the gazebo, they could only suspect it was Mu Xiyin, but there was no evidence at all.
This must be the reason why Li Bochen took over this project, to cover up for his fiancée
Lu Ningxi felt a tightness in her chest and some discomfort in her abdomen. She decided to go home and rest first.
On the other side, Li Bochen’s long fingers tapped incessantly on the table, his mind churning over everything that had just happened. A bit sullen, he picked up another opened bottle of red wine and poured it into his glass, one after another. He hadn't really been in the mood before, but now, drinking seemed to numb him instead.
He didn't eat much of the dishes to begin with, and when he started drinking, he drank a lot. In no time, the bottle was empty.
He rubbed his throbbing temples, glancing across the table at Lonning Creek's empty wine glass.
She didn't look well and had only put on a light touch of makeup.
She claimed it was light makeup, but she had only applied lipstick. At this moment, the cup reflected a faint lip print. Unconsciously, Li Bochen didn't know if he had drunk too much, and he actually reached out to take up the empty wine glass that Luo Ningxi had used. Like a madman, he pressed it against her lip print.
Luningxi, how can I make you trust me more
However, just as he posted it, Li Bochen's face suddenly changed drastically.
The alcohol taste in this cup… it's not the same as what he just drank!
Li Bohui snatched up another empty wine bottle and brought it to his nose, sniffing it carefully.
A cold glint flashed in his eyes, a fleeting sharpness that sent a chill down her spine. Something wasn't right.
"Waiter!" Li Bochen quickly called for the waiter, "Why are these two bottles of wine different"
The waiter, naturally clueless about what had happened, explained, “This was Ms. Luo’s specific request. When we went to the wine cellar to get the red wine, it was already open. We just delivered the wine and didn't know anything else…”
"Who opened the wine" Li Bocen continued to ask.
"We have a colleague who specializes in opening and decanting wine," said the waiter.
To be honest, it's usually opened at the table. It's rare to open it in advance.
Li Bohan called Mo Yao, "Get me the monitor footage of the wine cabinet at Yunlan Restaurant."
Mo Yao did as he was told.
In less than three minutes, Li Boche had received all the surveillance footage.
A familiar figure appeared on the monitor screen at the wine cabinet door —
Xiao Jin.
Lu Ningxi's most trusted advisor.
At this point, he appeared at the restaurant's wine cabinet, and the alcoholic drink he was having with Lorraine Creek was swapped for a non-alcoholic one.
Damn it, she's actually playing a trick on herself!
Li Bohen's anger rose instantly!
Luningxi! Cheating him again!
……
Golden Shore Apartments.
Luo Ningxi lay on the bed, listlessly browsing parenting tips on her phone.
I hope Li Bochen believes that she is not pregnant, and he won't bother her anymore in the future.
Tap tap --
Luo Ningxi was just thinking when her phone suddenly rang."As soon as I mentioned his name, he called!"Luo Ningxi scoffed and hung up the phone directly. But just as silence had fallen for two seconds, the phone rang again.When she hung up for the third time...
