Chapter 417 How Could It Be You?

Chapter 417 How Could It Be You?

At eight o'clock the next morning, Yi Yanran woke up with a headache.

Her temples throbbed from the hangover, but as she rubbed them, memories of the previous night flooded her mind, bringing a bittersweet sensation to her heart.

She glanced around the private room, noticing the traces of their "passionate encounter" from the night before, and a smile immediately spread across her lips.

Finally, she had finally slept with Ji Ming.

This time, let's see how he could possibly avoid her!

She never expected that, feeling down and drowning her sorrows, she would end up sleeping with Ji Ming by chance. Moreover, the way Ji Ming treated her last night was truly wonderful.

Although Yi Yanran had always maintained the image of an untouchable, celestial beauty in public, in private, she was quite open and had been with many men.

But Ji Ming was really patient and gentle last night, making her truly feel happiness.

He truly lived up to being the man Yi Yanran had set her sights on.

But... where was Ji Ming?

Yi Yanran quickly scanned the room and immediately spotted a man sitting not far away, hunched over his phone, sending messages.

The man had his back to her, his upper body bare, with a few vivid scratch marks on his tanned skin.

Those were the evidence of their passion from the night before.

The man's back was straight, exuding a sexy, just-woke-up look.

The more Yi Yanran looked, the more her heart raced, and she considered seizing the moment for another round.

She quietly moved her body closer to him, pressing her soft form tightly against his back, their contact filled with suggestive tension.

"Why are you up so early?"

The man didn't turn around, his voice carrying a hint of morning grumpiness, "I didn't want to either, but the phone kept ringing, it's so annoying!"

Yi Yanran's body suddenly stiffened.

Why... why didn't his voice sound like Ji Ming's?

And...

Yi Yanran's hands, resting on the man's chest, gave it a squeeze.

The texture felt off too; where were the chest muscles?

She had noticed before, Ji Ming had a well-built physique, with both pectoral and abdominal muscles!

What was going on?

Yi Yanran's body went cold, and she stiffly said, "You... turn around."

Xuanyuan Xun turned around without a fuss, his playful eyes fixed on her, teasing, "My beauty, do you want to..."

"Why is it you?"

At that moment, Yi Yanran finally got a clear look at the man's face.

As the notorious top playboy of Nancheng, Yi Yanran certainly knew Xuanyuan Xun.

But last night she was drunk, and she had already preconceived the owner of this VIP room as Ji Ming, so she never doubted that this man was not Ji Ming!

The lighting in the VIP room was dim last night, and this man was wearing the flashy shirt that Ji Ming usually liked, so she...

She just pounced on him!

Good grief! Why did this happen? Why was it Xuanyuan Xun and not Yi Jue?

Xuanyuan Xun just thought she was overly happy, "I didn't expect you to recognize me, beauty. Yes, I am the famous young master of the Xuanyuan family. If you follow me, you'll live in luxury... Ouch! Why are you hitting me? How dare you hit me?!"

"Why you? Why you?" Yi Yanran grabbed a cushion from the sofa and started hitting Xuanyuan Xun, venting her frustration wildly.

Xuanyuan Xun dodged around, "Hey, stop hitting me, you brat! Are you so happy that you like hitting people? You weren't like this last night, you were all over me..."

"Shut up! Shut up!"

Yi Yanran threw the cushion fiercely, picked up her clothes to cover herself, and started crying.

Her crying finally made Xuanyuan Xun realize.

"Did you mistake me for someone else last night? No way, I didn't rape you! I swear, last night you snuggled into my arms yourself, and you took off your clothes yourself, who could resist that? But it's okay, luckily you slept with me, I won't treat you badly, just tell me how much you want!" Xuanyuan Xun was always generous with his lovers.

"Who cares about your money? Open your eyes wide and see who I am!" Yi Yanran glared at Xuanyuan Xun fiercely.

Xuanyuan Xun leaned in closer, the more he looked, the more beautiful she seemed, and the more... familiar...

He quickly pulled out his phone to look up her photo online, and his legs went weak as he collapsed onto the sofa.

"Yi... Yi Yanran? You are Yi Yanran?"

Yi Yanran glared at him, her eyes wishing she could devour him alive.

Xuanyuan Xun was completely defeated, his pupils dilated as he stared at the ceiling, "This is it, I'm done for! I slept with the young lady of the Yi family, your father is going to kill me! And you're Yi Jue's cousin, oh my God, my mom is going to break my legs when I go back today!"

"Miss Yi, I really didn't mean it. I swear, if I had known it was you, I wouldn't have touched you at all! Can you please not tell your father about this?"

Xuanyuan Xun knelt in front of Yi Yanran, begging pitifully.

This cowardly appearance made Yi Yanran even more furious.

"Get away, put your clothes on!" she scolded with red eyes.

Both of them quickly picked up their clothes from the sofa and dressed, then looked at each other awkwardly.

"So, can I go now?" Xuanyuan Xun asked cautiously.

You think you can just sleep with someone and leave?

Yi Yanran sneered, "Go? Before we clear this up, you try to take one step and see what happens?"

This demeanor was eerily similar to Li Moran when she was angry, and Xuanyuan Xun instantly cowered.

This is why he hated these aristocratic young ladies the most, they were good for nothing but throwing their weight around.

"Alright then, what else do you want?"

"Why were you drinking here last night?"

Xuanyuan Xun felt baffled, "I come whenever I feel like it. I come here every night to drink and pick up girls."

Yi Yanran sneered, "Then why didn’t you leave after getting drunk last night?"

"I passed out when I got drunk. Usually, I just sleep it off until my driver wakes me up."

"Then why didn’t your driver come last night?"

Xuanyuan Xun checked his phone messages, "His wife had a fever and was hospitalized last night, so he took the day off."

It was indeed a leave request.

"What about Ji Ming? Was he here drinking last night too?" Yi Yanran asked again.

"No. Everyone in Nancheng knows that Ji Ming and I don’t get along. He never comes to the bars I frequent." Xuanyuan Xun suddenly realized something, "Did you mistake me for Ji Ming last night? Damn, are you blind? I’m way hotter than that wimp!"

Yi Yanran grabbed a pillow and started whacking him again!

"Stop! Stop!"

"Last night, I heard someone say Ji Ming was in this private room, so I came in. Someone must’ve set me up to come here. And this wine, the wine might have been tampered with too." Yi Yanran, her face pale, picked up the wine bottle and sniffed it.

Xuanyuan Xun scoffed, "You’re just overthinking it. You must have been drunk and misheard... Stop, why are you hitting me again? You violent maniac!"

After venting her anger, Yi Yanran finally put down the pillow and looked around, "Anyway, we must be careful. You need to check this room for cameras immediately, and go to the bar to review the surveillance footage. Make sure all evidence of us from last night is wiped clean!"

Xuanyuan Xun, thoroughly beaten into submission, nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, I’ll do it right away."

"And one more thing!"

"What now, your highness?"

Yi Yanran glared at him fiercely, "What happened last night, once we leave this bar, you must forget everything!"

"Don’t worry, I usually don’t remember nightmares!"

What a nightmare!

Who was it that was begging to sleep with him last night? As soon as the sun rose, she acted like he had raped her!

This is insane!
