The Reigning Star: Tycoon's Exclusive Obsession-Chapter 714 - 712: Did you drug me?

Ji Niandong reached out, tracing the lines of the sketch through the glass frame with her fingers, as if feeling each stroke she once made.

"Husband, I seem to feel how earnest I was when drawing it. I usually sketch casually at home, but rarely do portraits. And I drew it so well. If you hadn’t told me, I wouldn’t believe I drew this." She turned to look at Lu Beichen, "Husband, I was so dedicated to drawing this for you, how could I possibly have had no feelings for you then?"

Lu Beichen’s heart trembled, and he reached out to hold her shoulder. Back then... did she have feelings for him?

Wasn’t it mostly gratitude for his help back then?

Lu Beichen dared not respond to her, so he just said, "You really put your heart into it back then. You spent the whole afternoon drawing!"

He took a breath and continued, "The night I was drugged, you were delivering the framed picture, but it shattered the moment you entered. I had it reframed later."

"Where have you kept it all this time? Why didn’t you ever show it to me?"

"I left it in Paris out of anger back then. Since I’m a VIP guest, the hotel managed it until now, when I came to collect it. Thankfully, it’s still intact!" Lu Beichen sighed slightly.

"Angry?" Ji Niandong furrowed her brows slightly, "Husband, did I do something to anger you back then?" 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"It wasn’t you!"

The morning after that night, Lu Beichen woke late, remembering the events of last night. A glance at the empty bedside made his heart jolt, though traces of their passion remained un-erased.

The messy bed highlighted by a glaring red disrupted his thoughts with anxiety.

Scanning the surroundings, he got up and walked out, confirming she had left, only shards of glass at the entrance with a hint of blood remaining!

The sketch was drowned in the smashed frame!

Was it really her?

Recalling her trembling fear and cries last night, a wave of panic washed over his heart.

Her shoes remained here, shards with blood? Did she cut her foot?

Unease and rage surged within Lu Beichen. After quickly changing clothes, he hurried out, noticing the missed call.

Returning the call, he heard his secretary say, "Boss, there was indeed something in the wine Miss Gu brought last night!"

Lu Beichen’s anger skyrocketed, reaching an unprecedented level!

"Help me find Tong Nian, that girl we met last time!"

"Okay, Boss!"

As soon as the call ended, Lu Beichen was driving straight to the Gu Family’s house. Though Gu Xiyao had invited him several times before, he directly went there today alone, arriving at the villa door.

He hurried inside, his face stern and demeanor threatening.

Gu Xiyao, who had been dressing up meticulously at home for their lunch together, happily descended the stairs to welcome him, hearing he had arrived at the Gu Family.

"Little Uncle, why are you here today?" She still wore a peaceful smile.

As soon as she approached Lu Beichen, he gripped her arm and asked, "Was it you?"

His indifferent tone and murderous glare were different from usual, causing Gu Xiyao to become nervous, "Little Uncle, what’s wrong?"

She tried her best to stay calm, nearly breaking down in face of Lu Beichen’s demeanor!

"Last night’s wine, did you drug me?" Lu Beichen asked, enunciating each word.
