Chapter 2717: Chapter 2717: She’s Jealous! (Part 2)

He turned around, pressed his hands on her shoulders and shoved her against the wall, trapping her between his arms. "Yeah, I’m drunk."

He lowered his head and seized her lips.

The moment he touched her lips, Meimei turned her head away in fear, dodging his kiss.

Dan Tingye’s eyes tightened, and he suddenly bit down on her neck.

"It hurts..."

Her petite body was locked in his arms. Her neck shrank back in fear, her eyes turned red with grievance. When her gaze met Dan Tingye’s eyes full of rage, tears fell down in big drops, and she burst into loud sobs.

"Don’t you dare cry!"

Dan Tingye lifted his head. Seeing her little face covered in tear streaks, his fists clenched hard.

She loathed his touch that much? She had to push him away in this way?

Fine. Very fine. Yu Xin, you’ve done it. I’ll give you what you want.

Dan Tingye suddenly let go, stepped back, watched her small body slide down along the wall, and forced himself not to reach out to help her. He turned his back to her.

"From now on I’ll never touch you again. Whoever you want to be with has nothing to do with me."

"..."

Meimei stared up at him in shock, watching his resolute back as he walked away. Her heart tightened sharply. She wanted to call out to him, but the moment she opened her mouth, her tears fell even more aggrievedly.

She hugged her knees with both arms, helpless like a child.

"Meimei, where are you?"

She didn’t know how much time had passed when Jiang Nan’s worried voice sounded outside the door.

Meimei was still in the same position, sitting on the floor. Her pair of clear big eyes, after crying hard, were swollen like walnuts.

Hearing Jiang Nan’s voice, she finally snapped back. They were at the Zhong Family’s banquet. There were so many people outside. If she kept hiding in the restroom and didn’t go out, people might really think something had happened to her.

Once she came back to herself, Meimei hurriedly got up from the ground, cupped some water to wash her face, then pulled the door open.

"Jiang Nan, I’m here."

"Why have you been in the restroom so long? I thought you’d gone missing. I was this close to having people turn the whole estate upside down... You’ve been crying?"

Jiang Nan hadn’t finished his concerned nagging when he敏感地 noticed her eyes swollen like walnuts, and instantly tensed up.

"What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere? I’ll take you to the hospital..."

"I’m fine." Meimei pressed down on his hand and shook her head. "Jiang Nan, I want to go home."

"Okay, I’ll take you back."

Jiang Nan held her hand and led her out.

When they passed the dining hall, she saw that Dan Tingye was already gone, and even Zhong Qing wasn’t at the table anymore. Had he left? Did he leave alone, or did he take Zhong Qing with him...

After saying goodbye to Zhong Nianhua, Jiang Nan took her out of the estate.

Once they got in the car, Meimei stopped talking. She slumped against the back seat like an eggplant hit by frost.

Jiang Nan wanted to take her to the hospital several times, but she kept saying she was fine. In the end, he could only drive her back to her apartment.

"I’m just a little unwell. I’ll be fine after a good sleep." Standing downstairs, Meimei waved at Jiang Nan.

"Drink more hot water. Call me if anything happens, don’t just force yourself." Jiang Nan patted her little head before turning to leave.

Back home, Meimei fell into bed and tried to sleep.

It’s fine. Once I sleep, it’ll all be fine.

But she tossed and turned and just couldn’t fall asleep.

Dan Tingye’s face kept flashing through her mind—his disappointed gaze at her, and the way he looked at Zhong Qing...
