After Transmigrating, I Married the Male Lead’s Sister (GL) - Chapter 27
Li Suimei only had two glasses of wine that night. She was afraid of allergies if she drank too much, so she was very restrained and replaced the wine in her glass with mineral water after two glasses.
Fu Yanxiao: “…”
Li Suimei said awkwardly, “Cough, you can’t drink too much, I’ll just taste it.”
“Forget it,” Fu Yanxiao said, “I’m going to find my brother, do you want to come?”
“No.”
After Fu Yanxiao left, Li Suimei wandered alone in the outdoor night banquet. The organizers hadn’t prepared any more entertainment items for the night, just drinking and chatting, and a few people were dancing in the open space by the bonfire.
But even so, no one felt bored.
With the melodious piano music and the brightly lit night, Li Suimei almost forgot the other purpose of her visit.
She took some time to find Mrs. Han again.
“Aunt,” Li Suimei walked over and clinked her glass with Mrs. Han’s.
Mrs. Han’s playmates were also a group of wealthy matrons. Seeing Li Suimei, they asked, “Suimei, where’s Wenjing?”
“Mom is with Aunt Liu.”
Several people covered their mouths and laughed, then quickly returned to normal.
Who doesn’t know the Li family didn’t receive an invitation? Li Suimei is definitely making excuses.
“So you came in the Qin family’s car?”
Li Suimei remembered that Cayenne, the “Qin” had already been torn off by her, “No.”
“Is the Li family’s car outside? You have to give us a ride around the lake later!”
Li Suimei smiled, “Of course, no problem.”
She had to maintain face. Mrs. Han pushed a glass of wine towards Li Suimei.
Li Suimei said, “You know, I’m allergic to alcohol, so I’ll let you have this drink?”
Li Suimei was generous and graceful, and Mrs. Han couldn’t refuse a junior’s sincerity. She took the glass and took a small sip.
Seeing this, Li Suimei reached out, held the bottom of Mrs. Han’s glass, and raised her glass.
“Cough!” Mrs. Han looked at Li Suimei in surprise, “What are you doing?!”
Li Suimei smiled and handed over a tissue, “Aunt, don’t let it stain your dress.”
The people around fell silent. Li Suimei stopped a waiter and asked him to refill her glass, “I’ll return the toast.”
She raised her hand, her slender fingers wrapped in white lace, and flashed it in front of Mrs. Han. Li Suimei tilted her head and drank.
—Was it plain water?
She glanced sideways at the waiter who was standing quietly beside her. He stood there, and when Li Suimei finished drinking, he picked up the glass and refilled it for her.
Li Suimei hummed.
“Alright, if you’re allergic, don’t drink anymore.” Mrs. Han found a way down, alcohol allergies could be fatal, and although Han Zhou had split with the Li family, she still had to consider Li Enhua’s face. “You sit.”
Li Suimei complied, her face flushed as if she were truly drunk.
A lady with sharp eyes asked, “Who designed this dress for you?”
Li Suimei replied, “The old master doesn’t like me publicizing him.”
Then, she flipped a strand of hair that had fallen onto her collarbone.
Several wealthy matrons looked at the pink gem of high quality hanging on her swan neck.
Li Suimei smiled, breaking through the barriers of women. It was indeed gold and silver jewelry.
As they chatted, Mrs. Han was isolated from the group, and her face turned black.
“This ruby, I found it when I went to City S to gamble on stones. The rough stone was ugly, but I felt a connection with it.”
“Hmm, Dad isn’t here, he’s busy with the production of glass products.” After chatting for a while, the topic turned back to why Li Enhua and Ji Wenjing didn’t come to the fashion show. Li Suimei casually revealed that Li Enhua had found a substitute material and was busy producing glass.
Mrs. Han paused. Looking at Li Suimei’s flushed cheeks and hazy eyes, she thought she was drunk, so she squeezed into the circle of conversation and asked in a low voice that only the two of them could hear. “Did your father really find it?”
Li Suimei hummed, “Yes, he found it in Australia. By the way, Aunt, have you found a foundry for your company? The patent is still with my dad’s company?”
Mrs. Han pondered for a moment. It was true that although Han Zhou had the raw material formula and controlled the import of raw materials, the glass patent was indeed registered with the Li family company.
Li Suimei mumbled, “Aunt, you have to persuade uncle. My dad is better at experiments than him, and ten Han Zhous can’t compare to my dad in terms of business. Besides, the patent is still with my dad?”
Mrs. Han pursed her lips, “…We were too impulsive.”
“Haste makes waste.” Li Suimei supported her swaying body, and the waiter next to her promptly helped her. “Miss Qin asked you to go upstairs to rest.”
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Han and the other wealthy matrons’ faces changed. Qin Qing had specifically arranged for someone to watch over Li Suimei?
For a moment, there were countless expressions of concern.
“Oh dear, then Suimei, you should go and rest.”
“You silly child, why did you drink when you’re allergic?”
“Your Aunt Han is really something! She’s bringing that man’s game into our circle! Don’t be angry, get a good night’s sleep, and we’ll stand up for you!”
“Give me the room card, I’ll go myself,” Li Suimei said.
The waiter took out a room card. The card had a ‘Li’ printed on it, indicating a presidential suite, which also meant that Li Suimei was a genuinely invited VIP guest by the host.
People like Mrs. Han could only stay in ordinary guest rooms.
Li Suimei nodded, ignoring the envy of everyone, and turned to leave.
After she left, a group of women who had been surrounding Mrs. Han immediately turned against her, “Why did you mess with the Qin family?”
“That’s right, although the Li family is down on their luck, isn’t Li Suimei Qin’s fiancee? When she marries into the Qin family, she’ll have everything.”
Mrs. Han said with difficulty, “…Han Zhou thought Qin Qing wouldn’t let the Li family go.”
“Look at her, isn’t she doing fine?” someone advised her.
Mrs. Han thought about it and felt that she should go back and persuade Han Zhou to reconcile with the Li family.

The waiter led Li Suimei to the door, “I’ll send you some sobering soup later, Miss Li. Please drink the soup before you sleep.”
Li Suimei yawned and didn’t say anything, directly slamming the door in the waiter’s face.
“……”
For a playful exhibition like this, Qin Qing didn’t have time to enjoy it. When she received the message, she had just stepped away from a group of business tycoons. Her assistant came running to find her and explained the situation.
Outside a hotel room on the 3rd floor of the ancient castle, a waiter held a cup of sobering soup, hesitant in front of the closed door.
Qin Qing strode over. As soon as the banquet started, she changed into a cheongsam that highlighted her Asian heritage, making her look both elegant and subtly seductive.
The waiter quickly used the spare key to open the door for Qin Qing.
On the sofa in the suite, a drunkard was sleeping with her head down, her hair disheveled and her mouth open, looking completely out of character.
Li Suimei was asleep, her breath hot, and even her little face was too red, as if she had a high fever.
Her red lips were parted, and the contrast between the red and white inside was striking.
Qin Qing smiled faintly, watched for a while, and leaned over to shake Li Suimei, “Wake up, take off your dress and go back to sleep.”
Li Suimei’s breathing was even, and she obviously didn’t wake up.
Qin Qing: “……”
Frowning, Qin Qing put the sobering soup on the small table beside Li Suimei. The little girl was completely unguarded, so Qin Qing pressed her fingertip on her cheek, and a small dent appeared when she pressed down, which quickly bounced back when she released it.
“…….”
She pursed her lips, suppressing the corners of her mouth that were involuntarily rising.
Qin Qing raised her chin arrogantly, suppressing the corners of her eyebrows, thinking she should call someone else to help Li Suimei take off her clothes.
Suddenly, there was continuous noise outside the door!
“This is the VIP lounge! Please stop!”
“Get out of my way! Why are you stopping me? Li Suimei is inside, why can’t I go in?”
The waiter helplessly said, “Miss Li is already resting…”
“Resting?” Hou Kai sneered, “Is she hiding someone in there? How? Do you know who it is?”
The waiter: “…….”
Qin Qing frowned unhappily and reached for the doorknob to turn it.
“Qin Zhan! Go knock on the door!”
“I don’t believe Li Suimei won’t open the door for you.”
It wasn’t appropriate to open the door now. Although Qin Qing had a clear conscience, Li Suimei was, after all…
Qin Qing turned around and saw Li Suimei standing a few steps away from her.
She asked, “Qin Zhan is outside?”
Qin Qing nodded.
Li Suimei said, “I want to go out.”
Qin Qing: “…It’s not convenient now.”
“Why?” Li Suimei tilted her head and looked at Qin Qing.
Qin Qing’s gaze fell on Li Suimei. At this moment, her collar was disheveled, her hat was off, and the bun on top of her head was also messy, and her face was flushed abnormally…
“……”
Qin Qing looked down at her own clothes and was relieved that she was perfectly fine from head to toe, inside and out.
“I have something to say to Qin Zhan.”
Qin Qing felt her ears heat up, “It’s not good for your reputation.”
Li Suimei: “???”
Outside, Hou Kai shouted, “Give me the spare key!”
The waiter: “……”
“No, it was given to someone else.” Suddenly, Qin Zhan’s voice sounded.
The noise outside continued, and the atmosphere in the room became tense.
“…Don’t” Qin Qing leaned against the door.
Li Suimei pressed against Qin Qing from the front, her hand reaching around Qin Qing’s waist to hook the doorknob behind her.
“I have something to say to Qin Zhan.”
Qin Qing: “…Then I’ll hide for a while.”
Li Suimei rubbed against her relentlessly, her red lips almost touching Qin Qing’s face. Qin Qing could only use one hand to press against her stomach, “Don’t make trouble.”
“Why hide? What’s there to hide?”
Qin Zhan’s gentle voice sounded outside, “Open the door.”
Hou Kai added fuel to the fire, “Adulterers!”
Qin Qing: “…….”
Li Suimei found Qin Qing’s constantly changing expression amusing. Suddenly, she reached out and pinched Qin Qing’s face, “Qin Qing!”
Qin Qing was slightly surprised, “You’re drunk, and you’re getting bolder?”
Li Suimei accused, “You’re so annoying! Can you stop thinking about me every day…”
“Bang bang bang!” The person outside lost patience and started pounding on the door.
Qin Qing frowned, moved her face away, and straightened Li Suimei. “I didn’t mean to… don’t throw a tantrum.”
“Oh.” Li Suimei was listless and rubbed her hot face. She wasn’t completely unconscious from drinking, but she just felt emboldened…
“You don’t want Hou Kai to know you’re here?” she asked, “Why?”
Qin Qing glanced at her inexplicably and asked rhetorically with a knowing look, “Why do you think?”
“Then what do we do? There’s nowhere to hide in here.”
Perhaps it was because of watching the horse race in the afternoon and witnessing others’ intimate moments, the impact of violence and sexuality was too great.
“Open the door! Li Suimei!”
The waiter said, “Mr. Qin, inside…”
Li Suimei smiled. She suddenly remembered the romantic stories of the puffy skirts in ancient Europe, where noblewomen hid their lovers under their skirts.
She took a few steps back, twirled her skirt, and made an untimely joke, “Qin Qing, do you want to hide under my skirt?”
Qin Qing glanced at Li Suimei’s skirt for the first time. The skirt was gorgeous and exquisite, like moonlight dancing on it. Li Suimei was barefoot on the floor, and because she had been drinking, her eyes and posture were off, looking delicate and weak, unable to withstand the spring rain…
Under that skirt, there might actually be space…
The door remained closed, and the people outside left cursing.
Qin Qing was momentarily stunned. She thought, she had lost her composure for a second…
