Chapter 203: Chapter 203: Set a Trap for Him_1 Chapter 203: Chapter 203: Set a Trap for Him_1 “Where’s my drink? Why hasn’t it arrived yet?” Xia Qingtian pretended to say in a drunken state.

Shen Yaxuan freezes upon seeing her, a flash of surprise crossing his eyes.

He didn’t expect to run into Xia Qingtian here.

He quickly sends his friend to the private room first, and strides over to Xia Qingtian. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly smelled the strong aroma of alcohol on her.

Shen Yaxuan’s face abruptly changes.

He grasps Xia Qingtian’s arm, “You drank?”

“Who are you? Whether I drink or not, what’s it to you?” Xia Qingtian swats his hand away and returns to the private room in a tipsy manner.

Seeing her like this, Shen Yaxuan knows she’s drunk and can’t simply leave her alone.

He immediately follows her.

Xia Qingtian settles back onto the sofa and lifts the bottle of wine on the table, ready to continue drinking.

Just as the wine reaches her lips, Shen Yaxuan snatches it away.

“Qingtian, you’re carrying a child. You can’t drink,” Shen Yaxuan reminds her, thinking of how much she values the child she’s carrying.

Xia Qingtian squints her eyes and gives him a serious look.

“You, you are Shen Yaxuan…” She points at Shen Yaxuan, “I remember you. Last time, you helped me fend off a drunkard and got injured.”

Following that, she asks, “Shen Yaxuan, are your wounds better now?”

Seeing her concern for him, Shen Yaxuan is somewhat flattered, even knowing she’s only drunk.

Ever since the vacation resort, where he impersonated Bo Jingyan and became the man from that night at the Imperial Hotel, Xia Qingtian has been cold towards him.

“I’m all right,” he nods.

“That’s good!” Xia Qingtian nods, then stretches out her hand towards him, “Give me back my wine. I’m really sad and want to drink.”

Of course, Shen Yaxuan won’t return the wine to her.

His tone is gentle, but his eyes reveal a hint of coldness, as he asks, “What exactly is wrong? Why are you upset? Has someone bullied you?”

If she really was bullied, he certainly wouldn’t stand idly by.

Xia Qingtian’s face reveals her distress, “Jingyan is my husband, Momo is my best friend, but they… ”

As she speaks, her eyes start to redden, “I wish that all of this was fake.”

Seeing her so heartbroken, Shen Yaxuan feels a deep pang of sympathy.

“This matter really is…” he subconsciously wants to tell her that this matter is indeed false, so she can stop being so heartbroken.

But before he can finish his words, he catches himself.

“What has happened, has happened. Don’t overthink it,” he abruptly changes his response, “If you really can’t accept this, then leave Jingyan and A City. I’ve said before that I would help you, and I always keep my word.”

Even though Xia Qingtian is drunk, there’s no guarantee she won’t remember what has transpired when she sobers up tomorrow.

If she genuinely can’t remember, then his comfort today would be meaningless, and she would still be devastated by Chen Momo and Bo Jingyan tomorrow.

Xia Qingtian looks dejected.

She had thought that pretending to be drunk would lower Shen Yaxuan’s guard.

She didn’t expect him to remain composed, and she couldn’t deduce anything from him at all.

Was she just going to give up then?

No way!

Not wanting to miss today’s opportune moment, she figured it would be a while before a similar chance came again.

With that thought in mind, Xia Qingtian decided that she would glean some useful information out of Shen Yaxuan today no matter what.

“I’m not leaving. I don’t want to be a deserter,” she continues her act as if she were in a drunken haze, “I’m so upset. I want to drink, give me my wine.”

With that said, she reaches out for the bottle again.

Shen Yaxuan intercepts her.

Unable to get to her alcohol, Xia Qingtian starts to tear up, looking at him in reproach, “You won’t let me drink. You’re such a terrible person.”

Shen Yaxuan is at a loss. He can’t scold or hit her.

Seeing her teary state, he feels a deep pang of sympathly.

“You can’t drink,” he says in a good-natured manner while dealing with the drunk Xia Qingtian, speaking in a gentle and comforting tone, “We can do anything else, just no drinking.”

“Really?” Xia Qingtian’s gaze settles on him.

“Yes!” Shen Yaxuan nods in agreement.

A flicker of sly triumph flashes in Xia Qingtian’s eyes, her face still portraying the innocence of someone drunk, “Alright then, since you won’t let me drink, I want you to drink.”

Shen Yaxuan is taken aback by her request and doesn’t immediately agree.

Xia Qingtian feels somewhat nervous, fearing that he would refuse.

Fortunately, after pondering for a while, Shen Yaxuan agrees.

As long as Xia Qingtian doesn’t continue to drink and harm herself, he’s willing to do anything.

Xia Qingtian secretly sighs in relief.

Following that, she starts to pour Shen Yaxuan refill after refill of liquor. When they run out, she has the waiter deliver several cases of wine.

There’s red wine, white wine, beer…

Drinking so many types of liquor all mixed together, even a heavy-drinker wouldn’t be able to handle it.

As expected, Shen Yaxuan soon becomes tipsy.

Seeing this, in order to judge if he is actually drunk, Xia Qingtian asks him a few questions.

Fearing that Shen Yaxuan might be faking his inebriation, she chooses to ask questions that don’t give away her sobriety. These include why Shen Yaxuan has been so good to her, why he wants to help her, and finally she asks for his phone unlocking code, as well as his mobile payment code.

At this moment, Shen Yaxuan has no defenses against her. He answers all her questions, openly and thoroughly, a stark contrast from his usual caution.

Xia Qingtian finally confirms.

Shen Yaxuan is truly drunk, not pretending.

Xia Qingtian’s heart starts to race and she anxiously licks her lips.

She will finally know who the man was that night at the Imperial Hotel, the biological father of her child.

“Shen Yaxuan…” Her voice comes out raspy due to her nerves, “Do you remember what happened three months ago in the presidential suite at the Imperial Hotel?”

Fearing that he might not remember due to the time that had passed, she was relieved when Shen Yaxuan nodded and mumbled, “I remember!”

He was completely drunk, murmuring his words.

But as long as she leaned in and listened carefully, she could still understand him clearly.

A wave of joy wells up in Xia Qingtian’s heart. It’s great, he remembers.

She just needs to keep asking, and she will know the answer.

As she thinks this, her breath becomes hurried.

Forcing herself to calm down, she asks in a shaky voice, “The man I slept with that night… was that you?”
