Once Upon A One Night Stand

Li Han almost turned J City upside down and searched every corner, but Shu Tian was completely oblivious of the chaos she had left. After the plane landed, she took her luggage and got into Fu Qingtong's roadster, heading for the most luxurious hotel on the island of H City.

She didn't have much money, but after working at the HY Law Office for so long, she had a small deposit of her own, which was not a big deal to spend. She was so sad that she needed spending money to cover it up.

The lobby of the hotel was resplendent and imposing. The two of them took a suite, in which two rooms were connected. The view of the island was visible.

"Tong, use your ID card." When they checked in, Shu Tian said sheepishly.

Fu Qingtong waved her hand generously. "It's okay. We'll share the same room anyway, so it doesn't matter."

Shu Tian felt a little guilty that she didn't tell Fu Qingtong that she just didn't want Li Han to find her. Although she didn't know if the man would really be looking for her anxiously, she just wanted to calm down and smother these possibilities.

After checking in, it was already getting dark. H City was close to the tropical zone and the weather was nice as if spring lingered here all year round. The two of them changed into long skirts and went to the most popular seaside restaurant on the island.

Before they entered the door, they heard a melodious song coming from inside, for there was a singer was playing music.

Sea breezes blew slowly under the night, gently rubbing Shu Tian's body and face, but failed to take away the sorrow in her heart.

Fu Qingtong chose an open-air seat outside. There were many foreigners at the next table, chatting and laughing mirthfully.

Most of the food was seafood. Fu Qingtong ordered lobster and some other supplementary salads. Seeing that she was sitting in her seat in a bad mood, Fu Qingtong pointed to the bonfire not far away. "The waiter said there would be an interaction section later. Go and dance?"

Shu Tian cast her eyes down. "I don't want to dance. Let's drink."

Fu Qingtong was shocked. "Drink? Are you sure?"

The last time the two of them drank at the KTV, they were so drunk that they possibly couldn't even recognize their own mother. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but remember a person, Ji Chuanyi. For the first time in her life, she was so despised by a man.

"Well, since both of us have something troubling our minds and both are unhappy, let's drink!" Fu Qingtong called the waiter with a smile and ordered a few cocktails and a bottle of imported champagne. "We are so far away anyway. They can't stop us even if they want to."

They had quite a comfortable meal. Not far away was the shimmering sea under the night, and behind her was a noisy and enthusiastic crowd. As she swigged down the alcohol, she felt her negative emotions wear away.

A crisp sound came as they clinked their glasses. Shu Tian raised her head to take a gulp. The light yellow liquor disappeared from her lips, and her head gradually went into a daze as her mind was a little distracted. "Tong, why all men like to find another girlfriend when he already has one?"

"Burp-" Fu Qingtong burped heavily. Hearing Shu Tian's voice, her attention shifted from the handsome foreign man and she raised a finger calmly. "Because they are - cheap!"

"..." Shu Tian's serious sadness was interrupted." To be honest, I don't want to trust any man now."

"Why? Just because of that scumbag Tang Zechen?" Fu Qingtong shook her head and sneered disdainfully. "It's not worth it."

Shu Tian did not say anything. Of course, she knew it was not worth it, very much. But she was betrayed and deceived again and again. Her heart would get hurt, and it would one day be riddled with wounds. She really didn't want to go through the same experience again. She couldn't bear it, really couldn't stand it again.

After a few rounds of drinking, both of them became slightly beyond tipsy, and a blush that was characteristic of drunkenness appeared on their cheeks. Not only was it pleasant to look at, but it also served as a foil for their fair and tender skin.

Shu Tian was wearing a sapphire blue gauze dress, which was draped to her ankles. Gentle breezes swayed her dress, making her ethereally gorgeous.

Fu Qingtong insisted on dragging her to the dance. Shu Tian was numb in her drunken state and couldn't refuse, so she followed Fu Qingtong.

Many people were holding hands in front of the bright bonfire, forming a whole circle. Fu Qingtong found a place to squeeze in, and Shu Tian followed. Unfortunately, there were too many people, so the two of them were separated with a few interrupted in between.

"Tong, Tong..." Shu Tian called out to her, but it was so noisy around and Fu Qingtong was so excited that she didn't hear Shu Tian at all.

Just as she was about to walk over to look for Fu Qingtong, her left hand was suddenly wrapped in warmth. Her body instantly froze. She thought that someone was holding the wrong hand and immediately wanted to pull it back, but the more she pulled it, the tighter the grip became.

Shu Tian became slightly irritated. She turned around and was about to scold the person in a low voice, but she bumped into a pair of bottomless dark eyes.

"It's you?!"

After seeing the person's facial features, Shu Tian resisted even more fiercely. She was almost sober from her drunkenness. "Are you stalking me?!"

If it was an accident at the orphanage in J City, she would never believe it would be a coincidence this time!

Meng Shichuan looked down at the woman in front of him. She had obviously drunk and was a little tipsy. Her little face was ruddy and her voice was nasal. She wore a V-neck dress, which was dark blue and made her white skin stand out. Her black and shiny hair fluttered in the wind, so conspicuous.

In the crowd, he saw her almost at a glance.

Hearing her angry question, the man quirked up his lips slightly. "It was indeed a coincidence."

He didn't expect to meet her here. He just saw her standing here and came over to hold her hand. As for the reason for holding her hand, he didn't know very well, and he simply wanted to get close to her. "Liar!" Shu Tian didn't believe it at all. "Z Country is so big. Why is it so coincidental that you meet me at the same time and place twice?"

Meng Shichuan shrugged. "It's incredible, but that's the truth. Besides, why should I stalk you?"

"You!" Shu Tian was stricken speechless and she just wanted to get rid of him immediately. Her face darkened a little in spite of herself. "Whatever you think, from now on, don't follow me, and don't even greet me."

Meng Shichuan sneered. "Miss Shu is my savior. How can I pretend not to know you?"

Shu Tian was already upset and vexed, coupled with her drunkenness, she could not smother the impulse to refute him. "If I had known that you would continue to pester me like this, I wouldn't have saved you at all!"

The smile in the man's eyes faded in an instant, and his long and narrow eyes returned to their previous coldness, freezing those who dared to look into them. "Heh."

He chuckled and let go of the big hand that was holding her. "Unfortunately, there is no 'if' in this world."

Shu Tian pulled back her hand, glared at him warily, and walked away quickly.

Fu Qingtong was immersed in the dance when Shu Tian dragged her away. Along the way, she complained, "Hey, hey, I haven't finished dancing with that handsome guy yet!" "Stop dancing. If you continue, you won't be able to go back to the hotel..."

Before she could finish his sentence, three men in black suits suddenly appeared in front of them. They were tall and had a frightening temperament, apparently badasses that nobody would be pleased to mess up with, especially with black earphones on their ears.

Shu Tian's footsteps slightly fluttered as she was a little flustered. She wanted to avoid them and walked to the side but was blocked. "I'm sorry, Miss Shu. Mr. Meng asked you to go over."
