The obsessive CEO's white moonlight is me

Chapter 66 Blackout

Xu Qinghuan slowly stepped into this mysterious place, her curious gaze sweeping over everything around her.

This is a retro-style bar, with a dark and minimalist decor that creates a unique atmosphere. The marble tiles underfoot, with their irregular stripes that spread outwards like a winding river, reflect a faint light, as if transporting you to another time and space.

On stage, a graceful female singer was holding a guitar and singing softly. Her melodious voice flowed like a clear spring, filling the entire space with a lyrical and soothing atmosphere.

The audience members were either quietly savoring their wine or engrossed in the music; there was no noise, only tranquility and relaxation.

"What kind of wine do you have here that can make people forget their worries? Forget-Worries Tavern..."

Then, Xu Qinghuan walked lightly toward the bar, a sense of curiosity about the young man in front of her growing stronger.

Gu Ci followed behind her and then went into the bar area. She sat down right opposite where he was mixing drinks.

"Beautiful lady, we have a drink here called 'Lover's Tears.' Drink this drink, and you'll forget your tears..." Gu Ci said in an extremely pleasant voice.

"This is the first time I've ever heard of such a wine name, it's so fancy..." Xu Qinghuan looked at the boy with disbelief, resting her chin on her hand.

Then, under the dazzling indoor lights, he stood before the bartender, showcasing his profound understanding and boundless creativity in the art of alcohol. His hands, like a magician's wand, moved lightly and precisely among the bottles and jars, each pour and shake filled with rhythm and deliberation.

Once it was prepared, I placed it in front of her: "Here, taste the tears of a lover."

Xu Qinghuan took a small sip of wine, the strong liquid making her tremble slightly. Her fingers gently caressed the rim of the glass, as if searching for comfort.

This drink allowed her to temporarily forget the troubles that had happened before.

What actors, what program recording, what interests?

At this moment, I am completely relaxed...

Sure enough, for most people, alcohol is indeed the most effective tool for numbing their troubles! The glass of clear liquid was picked up and then drunk in one gulp.

"How is it?" Gu Ci stared at the woman in front of him, his eyes revealing a hint of concern and caution. He felt that she was not good at drinking, but seeing her drink the whole glass of wine in one gulp so boldly, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

As time goes on, the alcohol begins to take effect.

The woman's body swayed slightly, and her originally upright posture became somewhat crooked. Her small head tilted gently, and her cheeks, like those of a ripe apple, were now flushed with an alluring blush.

"Hmm..." The woman parted her lips slightly, uttering a muffled response, "Very good, make me another one..." Her words seemed to carry a hint of drunkenness and a craving for more alcohol.

"No, this is a limited edition!"

Gu Ci quickly waved his hand, while looking Xu Qinghuan up and down with a slightly suspicious gaze, and slowly said, "Besides, its alcohol content is extremely high, it's truly the strongest of the strong, only those with a really high alcohol tolerance can handle it. In my opinion, you probably can't..."

However, to his utter surprise, Xu Qinghuan suddenly seemed like a completely different person after hearing these words. Her previously calm face instantly showed a deep sense of grievance, and her eyes quickly reddened, with tears about to spill over.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Qinghuan's lips trembled slightly, and her voice also trembled as she said:

"Do you know how tough my day has been? Work is full of troubles, and life is a ton of trivial matters. I finally managed to squeeze out a little time to relax, but I can't even enjoy a drink to my heart's content. This is just too unfair..."

As soon as she finished speaking, she could no longer control her emotions, and tears streamed down her face like a burst dam, each crystal-clear tear sliding down her cheek.

Gu Ci had never seen a woman cry before; this was the first time he had ever encountered a woman crying like this in front of him.

"I'll get you another one, don't cry, don't cry..." Gu Ci immediately returned to the bartending station and made her another drink...

"You're so nice..."

She kept drinking one glass after another, and she herself didn't know how many she drank.

There are a lot of them.

Today she can act without any worries.

Her eyes began to glaze over, becoming blurry.

The next morning, the dazzling sunlight, like a sharp sword, pierced through the thick clouds and shone straight through the window into the room.

The beam of light was so dazzling, as if it carried endless energy and enthusiasm, that it instantly illuminated the entire room. It spilled onto the floor, forming bright patches of light, and reflected on the walls.

Xu Qinghuan found the intense light almost unbearable, and she instinctively squinted, trying to block out the glare.

However, this didn't do much good, so she reached out and pulled the blanket next to her over her head, trying to return to that warm and dark dreamland.

Just then, as if startled by something, Xu Qinghuan suddenly sat up in bed.

Her hair was very messy from sleeping, and a few strands even blocked her vision.

At this moment, her eyes were glazed over, filled with confusion and unease, as she slowly looked around at the completely unfamiliar environment.

The first thing she noticed was the unfamiliar bed and the furnishings around it, so different from the bedroom she was used to. Then, she looked down at the clothes she was wearing and breathed a slight sigh of relief—thankfully, it was the same clothes she was wearing. But then, a sharp headache struck, as if it were tearing her head apart.

Xu Qinghuan covered her head with her hands in anguish, trying hard to recall what had happened last night.

Gradually, some vague fragments began to emerge in her mind: she remembered that after going out last night, she was walking aimlessly alone on the street.

She walked for an unknown amount of time until she arrived at a tavern. Perhaps because of her depressed mood, she pushed open the door and walked into the tavern without hesitation.

After entering the tavern, she found a corner to sit down, ordered a drink, and began to drink it by herself.

Under the influence of alcohol, her consciousness gradually became blurred, and she couldn't remember what happened afterward or what kind of people she met.

She had a vague feeling that a boy was standing next to her, but she couldn't piece together the specific details.

Filled with remorse, she pounded her head hard, as if that would dispel the frustration and self-blame in her heart. While rubbing her head, she reached out and groped on the bedside table next to her, finally grabbing her phone.

When the screen lit up, she was shocked to find a full 15 missed calls! And without exception, all of these calls were from the man she both loved and hated—Fu Shiyue.

She stared at the familiar number, her finger hovering over the redial button, hesitating for a long time before finally deciding not to press it. Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a figure appeared in the doorway.

It turns out to be the boy I met by chance at the bar yesterday—Gu Ci.

He carefully carried a bowl of steaming hangover soup in his hands, a concerned smile on his face: "You're awake? I made you some hangover soup, drinking some will make you feel better."

Xu Qinghuan's originally fair face was now flushed red with anger. She stared wide-eyed at the person in front of her, gritting her teeth as she said, "How dare you bring me to this strange and godforsaken place! Tell me, what do you want?"

As she spoke, she grabbed a pillow from beside her and threw it at the other person without hesitation.

Gu Ci, standing opposite him, did not dodge; he simply stood there, completely still. The pillow landed squarely on him.

At the same time, the bowl of carefully prepared hangover soup he was holding lost its balance due to the sudden impact, and all the soup spilled out, splashing everywhere.

"Miss, you were really drunk at my shop yesterday! I tried so hard to ask you where you lived, but you were completely out of it and couldn't answer at all! In the end, I was the only one who managed to get you settled. Seriously, your temper is really terrible..." he complained helplessly.

At this moment, she felt utterly speechless.

After all, she was a girl, and she had just inexplicably appeared in a strange boy's room. If others saw her, wouldn't rumors fly everywhere? What's more, she was a well-known female celebrity; if this got out, it would definitely have a significant impact on her image and reputation.

Thinking of this, she quickly asked, "Brother, I don't want to hold what happened last night against you, but I really want to know if I did anything unexpected or out of line?" Her tone was filled with anxiety and worry.

Gu Ci didn't speak, but just smiled and said, "It's nothing. Now that you're awake, pack your things and leave."

...

After tidying up, Xu Qinghuan put on sunglasses to avoid being recognized.

Then, I called Fu Shiyue.

"Speak! Where have you been? Are you acting like a big shot?" Fu Shiyue's voice was as cold as ice.

Xu Qinghuan cleared her throat and said, "I had something to do yesterday, so I didn't answer the phone."

He said in a deep voice, "Then why don't you come over here right now?"

"I'll be there soon."

Ten minutes later, Wanshen Group

conference room

"Mr. Fu! I'm so sorry to bother you. We've come on behalf of the entire production team to express our sincerest request to you." The director said with a beaming smile, handing the script to Fu Shiyue, and then added, "We especially hope to invite Ms. Xu Qinghuan to play the female lead in our production. This is the script specifically prepared for the female lead; please be sure to pass it on to Ms. Xu."

Fu Shiyue glanced at the script the director was offering, but didn't reach out to take it. Instead, he calmly replied, "She'll be here soon. As for this script, I think it would be better if you handed it over to her personally."

Upon hearing this, the director, who was about to hand over the script, froze in mid-air. After a brief hesitation, he awkwardly withdrew his hand, still smiling as he replied, "Oh, I see. Of course, no problem."

Just then, there was a knock on the door, followed by the secretary's voice: "Boss, Miss Xu has arrived."

As the door was pushed open, a youthful and beautiful figure appeared before everyone's eyes.

Xu Qinghuan was dressed quite casually today, her high ponytail making her look energetic. She wore a loose brown sweatshirt paired with skinny jeans, which perfectly outlined her long and slender legs.

The addition of small, delicate, round earrings further enhanced her playful and adorable charm.

"Hello, Ms. Xu, I am the director of the 'A Thousand Years of Love' production team who came to you to collaborate. My surname is Huang, and this is the script."

Xu Qinghuan sat down, took the script, and opened it to read.
