Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son
Chapter 569 - 566

Chapter 569: 566

At the hotel entrance.

As Xiao Yi got out of the car, he felt dizzy, a sensation vastly different from his usual drunkenness.

After only a few steps, he started sweating profusely from his forehead, feeling an unbearable heat throughout his body, especially from his waist down, a heat that seemed ready to burst.

Feige saw him staggering slightly and came forward to support him, his face full of concern, "How many drinks did you have? How can you be this drunk?"

Feige had been waiting downstairs for Xiao Yi, who hadn’t been gone long; logic dictated that he couldn’t have had that many drinks in such a short time.

"I’m fine..."

Feige touched Xiao Yi’s forehead and was startled by the burning heat, "F*ck, you’re not running a fever, are you?"

"No, just leave me alone."

"I’ll go buy you some medicine; you go on up in the elevator."

After the elevator doors closed, Feige immediately ran back to the car and drove off to buy medicine for Xiao Yi.

Half an hour later, when he returned to Xiao Yi’s room, it was empty.

"Xiao Yi!"

After calling out several times, he tried phoning him, only to find the device switched off.

In the middle of the night, there was no chance he’d been kidnapped, was there?

With that thought in his head, Feige dashed downstairs to the reception desk, demanding to check the elevator’s surveillance footage. A guy over 1.8 meters tall and a celebrity, no less, couldn’t just vanish into thin air in the hotel’s elevator and corridors.

But as soon as Feige mentioned Xiao Yi, the receptionist couldn’t help but giggle, "Best Actor Xiao is on the 21st floor. I saw him coming out of the elevator holding Bai Lingshan..."

Feige’s eyes, normally a squint, opened wide. Coming out of the elevator and holding Bai Lingshan?

He suddenly remembered how Bai Lingshan, ever since joining the crew, would go out of her way to find Xiao Yi, and it seemed the two got along quite well...

"Are you sure you didn’t see it wrong?"

As Xiao Yi’s exclusive agent, even he was struggling to believe this was true.

The receptionist nodded with utter certainty, "Sure, absolutely sure, it was Xiao..."

Feige quickly covered the receptionist’s mouth, "Stop, stop, don’t tell anyone about this, got it? This is for you to drink."

He placed the beverage he was holding in front of the receptionist, smiling appeasingly, "Sis, you mustn’t say a word, keep it a secret!"

Gosh, the kid’s finally gotten into a normal relationship!

The receptionist nodded vigorously, "Yeah, I’ll keep it a secret."

"Little White Dove, staying up late and not sleeping, are you here flirting with the little sister?"

Hearing the sound of high heels clicking on the marble floor behind him, Feige tensed up and turned around to see Liu Rui and Secretary Zhang approaching, one after the other.

He frowned slightly, "It’s late at night, aren’t you also not sleeping?"

And you’re returning from outside with President Song’s secretary.

Secretary Zhang, with a professional smile on his face, nodded slightly at Feige, then said to Liu Rui, "I’m going up now; feel free to contact me if you need anything."

Watching Secretary Zhang’s retreating figure, Feige raised his eyebrow suspiciously and asked Liu Rui, "What’s going on between you and President Song’s secretary?"

Liu Rui cast a brief, indifferent glance between Feige and the receptionist before saying, "Take a guess."

Then she headed toward the elevator.

Feige quickly followed Liu Rui, "You’re not into President Song’s secretary, are you?"

Liu Rui looked at him as if he were insane and responded, "Yeah, Secretary Zhang is handsome and capable."

"You’re seriously into him?"

In terms of looks and capability, there was no doubt Secretary Zhang was impeccable for a secretary to President Song.

"What do you think?"

"..."

The next morning, as Xiao Yi turned over, he felt something was amiss.

He frowned and opened his eyes, and when he saw Bai Lingshan, he suddenly woke up with a jolt and sat up in bed.

Bai Lingshan was also awakened by his movement, but before she could speak, Xiao Yi was the one who broke the silence.

"How... how are you in my bed?"

His tone was as cold as ice.

Bai Lingshan had confessed her feelings to him, and his impression of her wasn’t particularly favorable, but he didn’t dislike her either. Everyone had a good time chatting about the script on the set.

But that didn’t mean she could just climb into his bed.

Clutching the blanket tightly to avoid exposure, Bai Lingshan blinked and said softly, "Best Actor Xiao, this is my room, my bed."

"You slept in my bed, with me, and you’re asking me why I’m in your bed?"

But then again, it was indeed her who had been moved by lust at the beginning...

Last night, she was waiting for the elevator to go out when she bumped into Xiao Yi coming out of it. She had just greeted him when he staggered towards her and fell into her arms.

She had assumed Xiao Yi wasn’t feeling well, and since she couldn’t find his room card, she had no choice but to take him to her room first, then call Feige.

Who would have known, just as she got him into the room and before she could even reach for her phone, she was pinned against the door by Xiao Yi.

Seeing the man she liked so close and looking at her, she didn’t know where she got the courage from, but she reached up, hooked her hand around his neck, and kissed him on the lips...

What happened after that just spiraled out of control...

"You..."

Xiao Yi was at a loss for words for a moment, his Adam’s apple bobbed before he finally spoke in a hoarse voice, "Last night..."

He gradually started to recall the lost memories. Indeed, when he had left the elevator, it was him who wasn’t feeling right and had lunged at the girl.

And all his odd behavior was because of that drink.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yi’s face darkened, and he cursed inwardly, ’The Lu Family siblings are really something else.’

They actually played such a dirty trick!

Based on the previous patterns, he thought, if the person was not him but Song Jinze last night, maybe today’s headlines would have been about Song Jinze’s secret hotel rendezvous with an old flame.

And then use that to force Ye Zhenzhen to divorce Song Jinze?

Bai Lingshan didn’t hear any further explanation and thought Xiao Yi couldn’t remember anything. She tentatively poked her half-exposed head out from the white blanket, "Let’s just pretend nothing happened last night, um... Best Actor Xiao, you should hurry and get dressed and leave. I need to go to the set..."

She was completely naked, so she couldn’t just get up openly. She wanted him to leave first.

Besides, if he didn’t acknowledge it, so be it. They were both adults, and sleeping with the man she liked was a win for her.

Xiao Yi turned his head and looked at Bai Lingshan with a firm gaze, "About last night... I’m sorry, it was my fault. I’ll take responsibility for you. If you have any requests, you can make them. As long as they are not excessive, I can agree to them."

Bai Lingshan was stunned. What?

What was he saying?

"Think it over." Seeing her dazed, Xiao Yi repeated himself and then headed to the bathroom.

Bai Lingshan endured the soreness in her body, immediately climbed out of bed to get dressed, and at this moment, her heart was bursting like numerous small fireworks. Did Xiao Yi just imply he would take responsibility for her?

Was that what she thought it meant?

If he could agree to anything as long as it wasn’t excessive, then wanting to be his girlfriend shouldn’t be considered too much to ask, right?
