Mu Zexian and a few others were happy today, and with Han Yan allowing them to drink a little, they got even happier. As a result, it turned out these guys had terrible alcohol tolerance, and with Kuang Guangyi encouraging them to drink, they ended up in a drunken stupor one by one. Han Yan, however, didnât drink, only had some tea, letting these young playboys amuse themselves. Soon, they all needed to go to the restroom...
In the end, only Han Yan and Kuang Guangyi were left in the private room.
However, after leaving, none of them came back for a long time. Han Yan frowned slightly, about to get up to ask the waiter to check what was going on. Just then, Kuang Guangyi stood up, speaking with a slurred tongue, "Brother Han Yan, you sit, you sit, I, Iâll go, Iâll go see why they havenât returned yet."
With that, Kuang Guangyi staggered out.
Han Yan squinted slightly; is the main event coming?
She had known something was off for a while; this Kuang Guangyi seemed clean, but everything had been too coincidental.
"I have two pieces of news for you, one bad and one good. Which one do you want to hear?" Suddenly, the voice of Star Illusion Thousand Machine echoed in her mind.
"Whichever one you want to tell." Han Yan rolled her eyes in her heart. Actually, she didnât want either, but knowing Star Illusion Thousand Machineâs way of speaking, she figured neither would be good.
"Youâve been hit. Try using Energy Movement." Star Illusion Thousand Machine said.
Han Yanâs expression changed slightly. She tried Energy Movement and found her Qi couldnât circulate at all! How did this happen? Was it Kuang Guangyiâs doing? What does he mean to do? Does he have the guts to dare harm me in such a place? Han Yan didnât think the other person would have such outrageous courage.
"Whatâs the good news?" Han Yan asked in her heart.
"The good news is youâve been hit with two kinds of drugs. One of them is meant to stir your desires, turning you into a beast, commonly known as an aphrodisiac." Star Illusion Thousand Machineâs voice carried a hint of schadenfreude.
What the hell!
Oh, damn you!
This is called good news?
Will you ever stop screwing with me? Han Yan was nearly crying blood inside.
"Did you know there was something wrong in this room beforehand?" Han Yan resisted the urge to pinch Star Illusion Thousand Machine to death. Even if she couldnât resist, she couldnât reach it anyway.
"Yep." Star Illusion Thousand Machine answered righteously, with no remorse. "Moreover, the other party spared no expense on the drug. It wasnât directly given to you; it was the tea you drank and the floral scent in the room working synergistically. Truly a silent but deadly effect, known only to me," Star Illusion Thousand Machine boasted, flaunting its knowledge.
"What are you planning?" Han Yan asked again.
"Arenât you curious what Kuang Guangyi is plotting?" Star Illusion Thousand Machine retorted. It would never admit it didnât warn Han Yan beforehand just to watch the show.
"What is he plotting?" Han Yan asked.
"Youâll know soon." Star Illusion Thousand Machineâs voice carried a tinge of excitement.
Just then, the door opened, and someone walked in. Seeing the person, Han Yan froze.
She certainly remembered this face. It was Princess Jin Hua!
"Princess Jin Hua?" Han Yanâs face was already slightly flushed. Oh, damn, this kind of drug, for the first time in two lifetimes catching it, this feeling was indeed a bit novel. Han Yan wasnât worried at all; since Star Illusion Thousand Machine knew there was a problem but hadnât warned her earlier, it meant there was no danger.
"Itâs you!" Princess Jin Huaâs face twisted momentarily but quickly returned to calm. She asked faintly, "Whereâs Young Master Ye? Isnât he with you?"
"Why would he be with me? Princess Jin Hua, why are you here?" Han Yan lazily slouched on a chair, asking indifferently.
"He..." Princess Jin Hua initially wanted to say Ye Lanfeng wrote to invite her here, but the words never left her mouth. She knew it was impossible; someone posed as Ye Lanfeng, writing to invite her. Though she knew, she still came. She wanted to know what was going on, but she didnât expect to meet Han Yan here.
"Princess Jin Hua, you should leave here first." Han Yanâs eyes were somewhat hazy. "Canât you see someone set up a trap to lure you here? Iâm not feeling well now; youâd better leave quickly." Han Yan, at this moment, already had some guesses about the plotterâs intentions.
"You..." Only now did Princess Jin Hua carefully examine Han Yan and naturally noticed her odd state, blurting out in surprise, "Youâve been drugged with an aphrodisiac?" Upon realizing her words, her face showed some regret.
"Oh? Princess Jin Hua, how come you, a princess, know so much about such things?" Han Yan teased with a playful smile.
Princess Jin Hua stayed silent, just glaring at Han Yan, her expression shifting unpredictably, lost in thought.
"Why is she looking at me like that? I feel a bit nervous." Han Yan spoke in her mind to Star Illusion Thousand Machine.
"Your anxiety has nothing to do with her staring at you; itâs the drug taking effect slowly." Star Illusion Thousand Machine replied calmly.
"Princess Jin Hua, you can depart now. Itâs not appropriate for a man and woman to be alone in the same room, right?" Han Yan urged Princess Jin Hua again to leave.
Yet, Princess Jin Hua didnât budge, remaining firmly in place.
"What exactly does she want to do?" Han Yan was puzzled.
"Youâll find out very soon." This time, Star Illusion Thousand Machine couldnât hide the excitement in its voice.
"Youâre just here to laugh at me!" Han Yan accused Star Illusion Thousand Machine.
"You just realized? I thought youâd gotten smarter, but it was my illusion." Star Illusion Thousand Machine replied mournfully.
Oh, damn it, one day Iâll strangle you. Han Yan was so angry her stomach hurt.
Light footsteps were heard at the door, and Han Yan knew them well. She finally understood Star Illusion Thousand Machineâs intentions; it was here for the drama!
Because those footsteps belonged to Ye Lanfeng!
What an outrageous drama!
Princess Jin Hua suddenly pounced forward, right in front of Han Yan, pulling down her shoulder sleeve, and exclaimed toward the door, "Han Yan, how dare you offend me..."
Han Yan watched this scene unfold wide-eyed, witnessing Princess Jin Huaâs self-directed performance.
Turns out thereâs no most melodramatic, only more melodramatic.
Princess Jin Hua, what on earth is going on in your mind?
The door opened at that moment, revealing Ye Lanfengâs face, dark as water.
At this moment, Star Illusion Thousand Machine popped a line into Han Yanâs mind: "Thatâs a good show."
Han Yan: "..."
