Once Upon A One Night Stand novel Chapter 161

Shu Tian walked into the villa deadpan. Instead of going back to the bedroom, she went into the guest room by the side. After locking the door, she slid down on the floor before she could even reach the bed.

She didn't turn on the lights, and the thick curtains blocked out all the illumination. She hugged her knees with both hands and circled herself in a small space. The temperature in the villa was warm, but she felt cold and stiff.

She felt betrayed by the person she trusted the most. She had already experienced it once in her life, which almost cost half her life. It was Li Han who had saved her from the abyss, but now, this man had also lied to her.

Sister?

It was not that Shu Tian could not understand the nostalgia and tender feelings in Jiang Chujing's eyes. She could tell that this woman had reservations about Li Han, and women always knew the best when it came to the same sex.

What about Li Han?

She believed that he had not yet done anything to cheat her, but was it right to deceive her?

Shu Tian felt like an outsider. If he had told her about Jiang Chujing's existence, he might not have made her so sad. The helplessness and sadness emanating from within her bones made her at a loss of how to face it.

His words made her believe him so foolishly for so long. Seeing that she believed him like a fool every day, would he feel a little guilty or sad?

Shu Tian did not dare to think. She was afraid that everything she saw was nothing but an illusion, afraid that the man she fell in love with would become a stranger.

He had squandered her trust, so at this moment even his explanation seemed so pale and invalid that she could not dare to believe him again.

Shu Tian had no idea how long she had cried on the floor. All she knew was that the man in the car had left again as she heard the sound of the engine starting from the front yard of the villa and the car came back.

Shu Tian hugged her arms even harder as if by doing so she would be able to build a defense wall for herself. Her eyes were closed as tears trickled down. Shu Tian's sobbing gradually turned into wailing. Where did he go? To the company, to another abode, or back to the North Villas?

No one could answer, and no one knew about that. The flustering and anxious feeling once again overwhelmed her.

[...]

Before Li Han drove away from the Imperial Villa, he had already asked someone to keep an eye on the villa. If Shu Tian left or anything happened, he would be informed immediately.

She said she wanted to calm down in a quiet place, but as long as he was at home, he couldn't help but want to find her, so he could only control himself by leaving.

Time slowly ticked away to the early morning. It was clearly the middle of the nightlife, but he was at a loss where to go. Usually, he was busy with work, and he was not keen on having fun. After mulling over it for some time, he could just come up with Pei Yu as the only one to turn to.

He dialed Pei Yu's number grumpily, and it was quickly connected. With the loud music, he heard, "Mr. Li Han? It's rare that you would call me at this time..."

His voice was a little erratic, and it was obvious that he had drunk a lot.

Li Han was not in the mood to banter. "Where are you now?"

"Where else can I be? It must be Red Club. Why are you looking for me?" It seemed that Pei Yu turned off the music because of the noise around him, and a coquettish complaint from a girl beside came, "Yu, why did you turn off the music?"

Pei Yu coaxed her perfunctorily. "Later. Wait a minute."

Li Han turned the car around and drove in the direction of Red Club. "I'll go look for you."

"You're coming!" Pei Yu raised his voice two degrees in surprise. "Now?"
