Chapter 718: Whatâs Going On?
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Qin Zhen gave up trying to communicate with Charlene. He pulled her outside, realizing that it wouldnât be possible to take her home now; it was too late, and he didnât want to disturb her family.
Just as he was about to leave, Charlene suddenly squatted down and vomited.
Qin Zhen patted her back, trying to make her more comfortable.
Helplessly, Qin Zhen had no choice but to take her to a hotel to rest until she sobered up before going home.
However, upon arriving at the hotel, Charlene opened her bleary eyes. Her mind still foggy, she mistook Qin Zhen for Gu Shaoting and refused to let go of him.
âCharlene, look clearly. Iâm Qin Zhen, not your Brother Gu,â Qin Zhen said to her, but Charlene was too drunk to understand.
âYouâre Qin Zhen? I donât know you. Go away,â Charleneâs words took Qin Zhen aback.
âLook again. Iâm Qin Zhen. Do you remember now?â Qin Zhen shook Charlene gently.
âOh, itâs youâŠâ Charlene looked at him fixedly.

Golden sunlight streamed in through the white curtains, casting a beam of light onto the window sill.
Clothes were strewn all over the white carpet.
Charlene was now sober from last nightâs alcohol-induced haze. She rubbed her swollen head, opened her bleary eyes, and found herself in an unfamiliar room.
Where was she?
Wasnât she in her own room?
How did she end up here? She racked her brain, but couldnât make sense of it.
Charlene massaged her temples, slowly sat up, feeling exhausted. As she took in the messy surroundings, memories of last night flashed through her mind like scenes from a movie.
âBang!â
Before Charlene could gather all her memories, the bathroom door suddenly swung open.
âAre you awake? Feeling okay?â Qin Zhen asked with concern.
âItâs you, Qin Zhen? Youâre like a bad penny,â Charlene suddenly exclaimed excitedly.
âDarling, donât be so agitated. You werenât like this yesterday,â Qin Zhen innocently replied.
âShut up, you devil. I donât want to see you again,â Charlene gritted her teeth.
âDarling, it hurts me to hear you say that. Remember, we shared a night of passion,â Qin Zhen teased, a bit shamelessly.
âWho shared a night of passion? Shameless,â Charlene clenched the blanket tightly, speaking through gritted teeth.
âCharlene, donât you think weâre meant to be together?â Qin Zhen walked over to her, shook her shoulder gently, and said softly.
âGet out. I donât want to see you. The person I like is Brother Gu,â Charlene became more and more agitated, her eyes seemed to be erupting with fire.
âBrother Gu? Too bad Brother Guâs heart belongs to someone else. He already has a beloved wife,â Qin Zhen taunted, seemingly intent on provoking Charlene.
âHeh, itâs none of your business what I do. Itâs best for you to stay away from me in the future. Even if we meet again, just pretend you donât know me, like at the last banquet. Wasnât that good?â Charlene laughed coldly.
She thought she had cut ties with this person completely, but now they were entangled again, which was truly annoying.
âCharlene, donât say such angry words. Do you know? Ever since we separated, I couldnât forget about you. The fact that we can meet again means our fate isnât over yet,â Qin Zhen sat down beside her, looking at her.
âItâs impossible. Even if Iâm single for the rest of my life, I wonât be with you. Donât you find yourself disgusting?â Charlene looked at him with disdain, wishing he would disappear from her sight.
