His elder brother sternly reprimanded him.
After he hung up the phone, he was uneasy and depressed. He grabbed a bottle of wine from the coffee table and gulped it down all at once.
He overestimated his ability to handle alcohol.
Not long after the bottle was empty, he blacked out.
Later, he did not remember how he got Xiang Bingzhi to the hospital.
When he woke up again, he was lying naked on his villa bed, and next to him was an equally naked Jiang Siyou.
Upon awakening, Jiang Siyou saw him, grabbed the blanket to cover her body, and screamed.
Then, she lowered her head, silently shedding tears, saying that what happened last night was consensual, not forced by Xie Jinfei.
Xie Jinfei was stunned for a while, then thought carefully. He was very sure that he had slept soundly all night and had definitely not done anything to Jiang Siyou.
Even if he didn’t do anything to Jiang Siyou, the fact that they both lay naked together meant he should take responsibility for her.
He did have feelings for Jiang Siyou.
Jiang Siyou was quite a well-known beauty in Jiang City; otherwise, Star Palace wouldn’t have signed her.
Moreover, Jiang Siyou’s appearance was quite to his liking.
They had a good relationship when they were kids.
But as they grew older and found out that Jiang Zhengxing might be the one who killed their father, their hatred for Jiang Zhengxing extended to his children, causing him to distance himself from Jiang Siyou.
Now, he knew that Jiang Siyou was not Jiang Zhengxing’s daughter.
She was just his adopted daughter.
In Xie Jinfei’s view, Jiang Siyou was also a pitiful girl.
A victim.
He didn’t know where Jiang Zhengxing had picked her up from and made her leave her biological parents to acknowledge that beast as her father.
He felt sorry for Jiang Siyou. Coupled with his longstanding fondness for her, he immediately coaxed her not to cry and suggested that since they had ended up sleeping together, they could try dating each other for some time.
If they feel compatible, they could become boyfriend and girlfriend.
Jiang Siyou, taking advantage of Xie Jinfei’s drunkenness to climb into Xie Jinfei’s bed, disrobing the both of them, and lying together had all been to attain this proposition from him.
She would, of course, agree right away.
What disappointed her was that Xie Jinfei had been too drunk. Despite her efforts, Xie Jinfei never reacted, and they couldn’t consummate their relationship.
Hearing that Xie Jinfei wanted to date her and possibly be boyfriend and girlfriend, she immediately pounced on him. She clung to Xie Jinfei’s neck and poured out her heart to him.
She told Xie Jinfei that she had been fond of him since she was sixteen when she found out that he wasn’t her real cousin and had been secretly in love with him since. But given that they were technically cousins, she was afraid to confess.
They had a close relationship when they were kids, Xie Jinfei had feelings for her, and she was a beautiful woman with a great figure. She was naked and clinging to Xie Jinfei, whispering sweet nothings. This touched Xie Jinfei very much.
So, they made a promise to try dating each other.
Jiang Siyou felt overjoyed when she succeeded in “catching” Xie Jinfei.
She wished she could immediately drag Xie Jinfei to the civil affairs bureau, get a marriage license, and let the whole world know that even if she was no longer the Second Young Lady of the Jiang family, she had become the prestigious Second Young Madam of the Xie family!
But she was unlucky.
The incident with Xiang Bingzhi caused a great uproar.
Xie Jinfei had to help Xiang Bingzhi clean up the mess, leaving him busy to the point of desperation.
She called and arranged a few dates with Xie Jinfei, but he always said he didn’t have time. So, she didn’t dare disturb him anymore..
