Chapter 29 : Help me

The dinner ended a little late since everyone was so engrossed in the vibes. Long Fei was sent by Wen Li as Han Zhi Fan's instruction, what was more she had represented Tang Wei to drink so Han Zhi Fan felt in debt for protecting his wife. After making sure that Long Fei was well-seated in the car, then Tang Wei got into the red Maserati.

"Can you drive?", Tang Wei asked worriedly. Just now, she saw Han Zhi Fan drank a little during the dinner.

"My alcohol tolerance isn't bad.", Han Zhi Fan nodded.

Meanwhile, Qian Luo who had drunk a lot decided to stay a night in the hotel. She checked-in and went to the elevator. She leaned to the wall as soon as she got into, then she got out of the elevator when she heard the ding sound.

She walked through dim aisle and looked carefully at the room number. When she saw the number 5008, she took out the card and tried to inserted the card to unlock the door. However, she found it hard to do so since her vision was not clear.

Then, a firm hand grabbed the card on her hand and immediately inserted the card to unlock the door. She turned to her right and saw a tall man blurly. "Oh! Handsome little brother, thankyou for helping this sister.", she said as she tapped the man's cheek lightly.

The man hold her wrist and said "Are you dumb? You clearly know that your alcohol tolerance is low."

"Handsome little brother, come and accompany this sister.", Qian Luo didn't even listen to what the man said, instead tried to seduce him.

Lu Jinnian sighed looking at the woman in front of him. He had been following her since the moment she walked out the dinner party. He also stood right behind her when she was checking-in. He even had to press the button in the elevator since she didn't even budge after she went inside it.

No one knew better than him how Qian Luo would be when she was drunk. She would do things unexpectedly and she wouldn't remember a fragment of it the next day. Thus, he followed her to make sure that she was well. He was worried that she met any mishaps. Moreover, he missed her too much so thay he woud like to accompany her for awhile. He dared to do so because he knew that she wouldn't remember anything.

Getting no response from the man, Qian Luo smiled and grabbed his hand then pulled him into the room. She closed the door and started taking off her clothes. However, she was stopped by a firm hand. "Let me off.", she struggled.

"If you want to take off your clothes, go to the restroom.", the stern voice was heard.

She smirked and walked toward the voice. She could blurly see a man, she locked her arms around his neck and pressed her body toward him "Don't you want me?"

Lu Jinnian tightened his fists as he felt that it was the only way to control himself. He then felt the woman got closer and closer to him. He quickly evaded her kiss.

Qian Luo felt the man's struggle, she released her arms and walked to the bed and laid down. She turned over and got into the fetal position which made her look so fragile that every man who saw would like to protect her. So did Lu Jinnian. He wished to pull her into his arms.

Not long after, Lu Jinnian heard a faint sobbing sound. He walked closer to the source of the sound and he could clearly see tears on Qian Luo's face. He was stunned. 'Why is she crying? Does she feel hurt since I avoided her kiss?' When the thought of her throwing herself unknowingly to man, Lu Jinnian wished to throw a bucket of ice water to wake her up.

"It's been seven years",Qian Luo softly cried.

"It's been seven years, but I still love him...very much.. even after what he has done.. I still love him.", Qian Luo whispered.

Lu Jinnian's body stiffened when he heard her confession. He knew it better than anyone else who she was talking about. He tightened his fists. 'So do I', he silently confessed.

"He said he felt disgusted when he looked at me."

Lu Jinnian answered in his heart 'No, I don't. I will never feel so.'

Qian Luo slowly turned to face him, her eyes were full of tears, her appearance was messy but Lu Jinnian couldn't feel anything except hurt. "Do you feel disgusted as well, so you avoided me? Am I so disgusting?"

'No, you are not. You are the most beautiful woman in this world. How can you be disgusting?'

"He said that he won't touch me even if I stand naked in front of him..Hehehe", she laughed depreciating herself "but, he said that he might consider me as his bedwarmer if I am better at bed." She turned to him and smiled while stretching her hand toward him "So, do you want to help me?"

The moment he heard that, Lu Jinnian felt that a hammer had hit him. He felt like his heart bled. 'Qian qian, do I hurt you too much to turn you this way?'

Looking that he showed no reaction, Qian Luo smiled widely and closed her eyes "You may go."

She then slowly drifted to her slumber. Looking at her breathing evenly, he slowly walked to her and he held her hand tightly. He examined her face closely. His other hand caressed her cheek. He leaned closer and kissed away her tears.

'If just you were not his daughter, if just I didn't find out your identity, if just I can make sure not to hurt you, but there is no if in this world.'

Qian Luo felt the familiar scent which made her feel relax. She drifted to sleep while in Lu Jinnian's embrace.

For that whole time, Lu Jinnian stayed beside her and patting her to sleep. It had been seven long years. No one knew how much he missed sleeping while having her in his arms. No one knew how much he blamed himself for hurting her. No one knew how much he wanted to kill himself for longing her. Lu Jinnian kissed her forehead for a very long time which he didn't realize that it had been more than two hours.

Suddenly, Qian Luo opened her eyes which startled Lu Jinnian. She looked at him blankly for awhile before she leaned forward and kissed him. She nibbled his bottom lips gently which brought him back to the time before things happened between them. He remembered how unskillful she was at kissing, but he was addicted to her initiative.

Qian Luo finally realized something was off. She opened her eyes and saw a familiar face in front of her. The face of the man that she loved. She didn't know how many times she woke up in the mid of her sleep and saw the familiar face, but whenever she looked more clearly, the familiar face vanished.

Thus she didn't dare to blink her eyes feared that the familiar face could vanish at any moment. She took the advantage and leaned forward to kiss him to show how much she had missed him. 'This feels so real.', she suddenly realized that fact.

She instantly got off the bed and walked around the room looking for something. Lu Jinnian was surprised by her sudden actions.

Qian Luo kept on looking before she stopped when she found her bag. She unzipped her bag and took a white bottle. She opened the bottle and downed several of pills before she walked to the sofa and slept there without giving a glance to the bedside.

'My hallucination is getting worse.', she said to herself, trying to calm herself down. She didn't dare to look at the bedside afraid that what she saw was really him, then what should she do if he felt disgusted of her? However, she was more afraid that she saw nothing. Thus she decided not to look at that side.

Her actions gave a shock to Lu Jinnian. 'What did she eat?'
