But she, already half-drunk at the time, had no chance to resist and was directly forced to drink it.
She remembered nothing of what happened afterward, and it seemed very likely that the drink had been drugged.
Thinking of the harsh words she had just spoken and how she had misunderstood Liu Yifeng, believing he had done something to her, she felt a wave of embarrassment. "So... that's not necessary. I think I might have truly misunderstood you. I'm truly sorry. I was just shocked and confused when I woke up and saw myself like this."
"Do you know that such a misunderstanding could ruin my life?" Liu Yifeng questioned.
Clearly, he was still angry about her misunderstanding him. She had been in such a state yesterday; in fact, even if he had taken advantage of the situation and had relations with her, he could have used the excuse that she was drugged and he was only helping her.
But he hadn't done that, precisely because he was a man and couldn't stoop to despicable acts.
Yet, in the end, he was still misunderstood. He didn't even know what the point of his restraint had been from the beginning.
Sensing that Liu Yifeng was still angry, Mengxi began to act coy. "Oh, please be magnanimous and overlook my faults, like a prime minister who can tolerate a boat in his belly. Don't take it to heart.
I didn't misunderstand you intentionally. The scene was just too suggestive, and it was hard not to misunderstand. And even if you didn't do anything to me, you still saw me naked. You have to admit that, don't you?"
Her words immediately brought to mind her perfect figure in Liu Yifeng's mind. But he hadn't intentionally looked, he hadn't even had time to stop it.
Besides, after he had given her a cold shower, he had to help her dry off, or she would catch a cold. But all of this was out of kindness, with no intention of taking advantage.
Seeing that Liu Yifeng remained silent, Mengxi knew she was right. However, she didn't seem angry. "It was my fault for misunderstanding you. But you also saw my body, so let's call it even.
As I said, if I misunderstood you, I'll give you double the compensation. Give me your account number, and I'll transfer the money to you shortly."
"First, let me prove that I didn't intentionally look at your body. Second, it's just a matter of money. Just give me the money for the clothes and the five thousand yuan reward!" Liu Yifeng said.
"I know you didn't do it intentionally, but I'm a person of my word. I'll transfer the twelve thousand yuan to your account without a penny less," Mengxi added immediately.
Seeing her insistence on giving him so much money, Liu Yifeng didn't say anything further. "Alright, I'll send you my account number via text message."
After speaking, he suddenly remembered something. "Right, there's something I wanted to ask you!"
"What is it?"
"I took you to your room, and by the time I came out, it shouldn't have been half an hour. How could you have thought that?" In his opinion, what could be done in half an hour?
"But isn't it enough to finish that kind of thing in just a few minutes?" Mengxi retorted.
Liu Yifeng was momentarily speechless, unsure of what to say. Although he hadn't officially done such a thing, he believed his physical condition was very strong, and it would take at least an hour to start.
Mengxi saying she could handle it in half an hour was practically an insult to his capabilities.
However, hearing her say it only took a few minutes, he couldn't help but be curious if Mengxi had experienced such a thing, or how else she would know.
Of course, this was her private matter, and he couldn't pry too much.
"You asked me a question, and I have a question for you as well!"
Liu Yifeng came back to his senses. "What is it? Ask away!"
"I consider myself to be among the more attractive women in the entertainment industry, and my figure is even more so. There isn't an ounce of excess fat on me, but where there should be, there's no less.
Facing a woman like me, how were you able to remain so composed? Are you a Saint, or do you find me not beautiful enough or not attractive enough?"
The question immediately caused three lines to appear on Liu Yifeng's forehead. "Don't you think you're being contradictory? When you initially misunderstood and accused me of what you thought I did, you berated me without questioning. Now that you know I didn't do anything to you, you're asking me why I didn't do anything.
What exactly do you want me to do, or not do?"
"Don't misunderstand me. I'm just genuinely curious about what you were thinking at the time!"
"Does that need thinking? I believe any man wouldn't take advantage of someone in such a vulnerable situation!" Liu Yifeng replied without hesitation.
Upon hearing his answer, Mengxi immediately praised him. "I was right about you. You're a true gentleman!"
"Whether I'm a gentleman or not isn't important. What's important is that producer. Since he failed last night, I'm worried he might still target you!"
"I'll be careful. But after last night, at least for a while, he won't be paying attention to me!"
After a few more brief exchanges, Liu Yifeng hung up the phone and edited his bank account information to send to Mengxi via text message.
However, his mind was filled with thoughts about the entertainment industry. He knew that in order to gain fame in the industry, one had to go through unwritten rules to some extent; otherwise, there would be no resources.
This made him think of Yun Duo'er, who had suddenly become famous. He wondered if she had experienced similar things like Mengxi.
This time, Mengxi had encountered him, but Yun Duo'er might not have such good luck, or perhaps she had initiated it.
If she had truly fallen to such depths for fame, then such a woman would be truly beyond redemption, and Tongtong could never be entrusted to her care.
"Daddy, who were you on the phone with?" Tongtong came out of the bathroom and saw her daddy sitting on the bed, lost in thought.
Liu Yifeng snapped back to reality. "With a big sister from the film crew. Have you finished washing up, Tongtong?"
"Yes, yes, I'm done washing up. Daddy, hurry up!"
"Do you want Daddy to help you get dressed?" Liu Yifeng asked.
Tongtong shook her head. "No need, Tongtong can dress herself!"
Liu Yifeng then went to the bathroom. After he washed up, Tongtong had already put on clean new clothes. He also changed into new clothes and went out holding a box of milk for Tongtong.
Today was a rest day, and many people chose to sleep in, while others read. Song Yicheng was one of those who continued to study.
Song Yicheng, who was studying, also felt a rebellious urge. "Mom, I don't want to study, I want to play!"
Upon hearing this, Song's mother comforted him. "Be a good boy, son. We are still in the competition stage. Look at the strong skills of many contestants in this competition; it's not easy to win the championship. We can only work harder to have a chance to win the championship."
