5: Accidentally hurting his sister-in-law

Zhang Yuhao knew clearly that due to a certain reason, and fearing an accident, Chen Yuqing never drank alcohol when she ate with him.

She didn't drink beverages either; plain boiled water was her daily norm.

So, he specifically ordered a large glass of plain boiled water and had already added something to it outside.

After placing the plain boiled water in front of Chen Yuqing, he opened the Wuliangye bottle, poured a glass for Chen Yuxi, and also one for himself.

He knew Chen Yuxi liked to drink a little, so he looked at her and said, "Yuxi, let's drink a little! It helps with sleep and can relieve fatigue."

Chen Yuxi indeed did not refuse.

"You can only drink this one glass, no more."

Chen Yuqing said indifferently.

"I know, Sis. Actually, drinking a bit more wouldn't be a problem. We're not driving back, and haven't we already booked rooms?

Oh, right, Sis. We booked two rooms, one on the third floor and one on the fourth. Are you sleeping with me, or with Brother-in-law?"

Chen Yuxi said playfully.

"Stop talking nonsense. Of course, I'm sleeping with you. Give me the room card; don't lose it in a bit."

Chen Yuqing said unequivocally.

Since childhood, Chen Yuxi had always been a little afraid of her sister, who was three years older than her.

So, seeing her unquestionable gaze, she quickly took out the room card and handed it to her.

Chen Yuqing put away the room card and silently began to eat, completely ignoring Zhang Yuhao, who was sitting beside her.

Seeing her pick up the plain boiled water and take a few sips, Zhang Yuhao's heart beat a few faster.

He was currently calculating how he could get Chen Yuqing into his room, with The two sisters sleeping in one room!

Just as he was thinking of an excuse, Chen Yuxi, who had finished a glass of white wine, casually picked up the plain boiled water that Chen Yuqing had half-drunk.

Before he could stop her, Chen Yuxi gulped it down until not a single drop was left before putting down the glass.

"Drinking white wine made me thirsty. Sis, I drank all your plain boiled water. Do you want more?

If you still want some, I'll go out and get you more."

"No need, I'm not thirsty."

Chen Yuqing said indifferently.

In Zhang Yuhao's heart, ten thousand grass mud horses galloped. The plan had a flaw, and he was somewhat flustered.

He thought fearfully, 'How is this going to work? If I end up sleeping with both sisters, won't they kill me tomorrow?'

He now desperately hoped that the medicine he got was fake and wouldn't work.

He couldn't help but comfort himself, thinking, 'This cup of water was shared by The two sisters, so maybe the drug's effect won't be that strong. It'll pass after they wash up upstairs.'

He was truly afraid of getting into trouble now.

Looking at his somewhat strange expression, Chen Yuqing frowned, but Chen Yuxi spoke up, asking, "Brother-in-law, what's with that expression?

I just drank my sister's plain boiled water, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Nothing, nothing. Yuqing, Yuxi, we've pretty much finished eating. It's getting late, and you've traveled a long distance, so you must be tired. Go upstairs and shower and rest early!"

Although the two women found his expression a bit strange, they didn't think much of it. They stood up and walked out of the private room with him, heading upstairs.

The three parted ways at the stairwell on the third floor. Zhang Yuhao said uneasily, "Yuqing, Yuxi, if anything happens and you need me, just call me.

I can come down from upstairs very quickly."

"What could happen in a hotel? Brother-in-law, hurry up and go upstairs!"

Chen Yuxi waved her hand at him.

Chen Yuqing didn't even say a word, pulling Chen Yuxi and walking forward.

They found the room number, opened the door, and The two sisters walked in.

"Sis, the hotel's quite decent, it even has a suite with an inner and outer room. I'll stay in the outer room tonight, and you can stay in the inner one!"

She kicked off her shoes, walked barefoot on the carpet, and said with a smile.

"Yuxi, why do I feel hot all over? I need to take a shower. This heat is making me very uncomfortable."

Chen Yuqing said, taking off her jacket.

"Sis, I'm also hot all over. I thought it was from drinking. Why are you hot all over too?"

The speaker had no intention, but the listener paid attention. Chen Yuqing immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Just as she was about to say something, her phone rang.

Seeing that it was Zhang Yuhao calling, to confirm her suspicion, she gestured to Chen Yuxi to be quiet before answering the phone.

"Hello, is something wrong?"

"Yuqing, Yuxi, do you feel unwell? If you have any discomfort, remember to call me."

"Zhang Yuhao, what do you mean? Why would Yuxi and I suddenly feel unwell?"

Hearing Zhang Yuhao's words, Chen Yuqing grew even more suspicious.

Knowing that he was a bit too eager and almost let slip, Zhang Haoyu quickly tried to remedy the situation, saying, "I was just thinking, since you and Yuxi came from the provincial capital, I was worried you might not be accustomed to the local environment here, right?

I'm concerned about you and Yuxi, why are you questioning me?"

At this moment, Chen Yuqing felt even hotter all over. Enduring the discomfort, she said in a low voice, "Yuxi and I are fine. Don't call again and disturb our rest."

After saying this, she hung up the phone and directly turned it off.

Then she looked at Chen Yuxi again and said, "Yuxi, turn off your phone too."

Now, the intelligent Chen Yuqing was completely certain that Zhang Haoyu had tampered with something during dinner. Seeing her sister's flushed face, she thought of a terrifying possibility.

"Why, Sis? Why turn off our phones for no reason?"

"I'm afraid Zhang Haoyu will call again. Haven't you noticed something is wrong yet? That bastard definitely tampered with something during dinner.

Otherwise, we wouldn't both be experiencing abnormal body heat at the same time."

"How is that possible? You two are husband and wife. How dare he drug both of us at the same time? Does he not want to live?"

Chen Yuxi also reacted, saying with a look of disbelief.

"Silly girl, you don't know the real inside story. He and I have only been husband and wife in name since we got married; we haven't even held hands. This time, he suffered a setback in Yushu County and felt a sense of crisis. He wants to take this opportunity to consummate our marriage to solidify his position in our family. Do you still think it's strange that he drugged me?"

This time, he suffered a setback in Yushu County and felt a sense of crisis. He wants to take this opportunity to consummate our marriage to solidify his position in our family. Do you still think it's strange that he drugged me?"

Chen Yuqing analyzed the situation clearly in a few words.

"So that's it. No wonder you weren't angry at all when he messed around with other women.

But what I don't understand is, even if he targeted you, how dare he target me too?"

"Did you forget that at the dinner table just now, you drank the half-glass of plain boiled water I left, and his reaction was so strange?

You were accidentally injured."

"I understand, Sis. With what you've said, everything makes sense now.

I'll turn off my phone now. We sisters will endure this together, and tomorrow we'll settle accounts with that bastard."

With that, she also turned off her phone.

After this delay, the two women felt even hotter.

"Sis, I can't take it anymore, I'm going to take a shower."

Chen Yuxi said, quickly walking towards the bathroom.

"Yuxi, let's go together! I can't hold on either. I hope cold water can give us some relief and make the medicine's effects pass quickly."
