Chapter 135 Drunk

At the wine table.

Once the atmosphere is good, people drink one glass of wine after another.

As they drank, everyone got drunk.

Mu Yuan's face turned red from drinking, his hands supported his chin, and his eyes were dazed.

The deputy director looked at his subordinates who had passed out drunk and said helplessly: "You young people, your drinking capacity is not as good as that of an old man like me."

He began to implement the methods of sending them back one by one.

Those with family members can contact them, and those without family members can contact a taxi to send them back.

His gaze shifted to Mu Yuan at the edge.

"Hey, Mr. Mu, what's your husband's phone number? I don't have your family's number yet."

Mu Yuan was completely confused.

Hearing the deputy dean's words, her eyelids lifted, her brain working hard: "Husband?"

Deputy Dean: "Yes! You are drunk and you can't go back alone. I will contact your husband to come and pick you up."

"No." She shook her head slowly.

The deputy director looked puzzled: "Why not?"

"Because..." She hiccuped and murmured, "He won't come."

The deputy dean is old after all, and he has seen all kinds of scenes.

Considering Mu Yuan's repeated drinking tonight and her dejected expression, the deputy dean immediately sensed something was amiss: "Are you and your husband..."

"Deputy Dean."

The deputy director was interrupted by a sudden low voice from behind.

The deputy dean turned around in confusion and saw the person coming.

The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were stretched out in shock.

"Huo, Mr. Huo?!"

Huo Min's gaze passed over him and fell on Mu Yuan, who was drunk, with her cheeks slightly puffed up by her palms, and looked cute and naive.

He raised his eyebrows imperceptibly: "Did you drink tonight?"

"Yes, yes, you are here for barbecue too?"

Huo Min said calmly: "Yeah."

He walked forward and stood in front of Mu Yuan.

Seeing this, the deputy director hurriedly said, "Everyone got drunk tonight because they were so happy. I was just arranging a way for them to get home. Now all we need is Mu Gong. I originally wanted to contact her husband to pick her up, but... I'd better take her back myself."

Huo Min stared at the table in a daze with deep eyes. Mu Yuan, who hadn't noticed him coming, said in a deep voice, "Why didn't you contact her husband?"

The deputy dean was stunned by the question, as if he didn't expect Huo Min to ask this question.

He was confused but honest: "I don't have Mu Gong's husband's phone number. Besides, she was obviously in a bad mood tonight and said her husband wouldn't come. I guess she had a fight with her husband."

The drunk Mu Yuan muttered again: "He won't come."

The deputy director had a headache: "Look, he's so drunk, I have no choice but to send him back."

Mu Yuan seemed tired of holding up his face and put his hand down.

Without support, the little head fell down again and again.

Each time he fell lower and lower.

My chin was about to hit the table.

Huo Min's eyes flashed, and he reached out, resting his palm under her chin, propping up her head.

The deputy dean gasped.

He immediately wanted to step forward and help pull Mu Yuan away.

But before his hand touched Mu Yuan, Huo Min stopped him with a sharp look.

Huo Min said calmly: "I'll take her back."

Deputy Dean: “???”

Facing the deputy dean's shocked and puzzled expression, Huo Min remained calm and said, "I know her husband."

Vice Dean: "Ah? You know him?!"

Huo Min's expression was so natural that there wasn't a single flaw in it: "Yes, I know him."

The deputy dean was curious at this moment about how they knew each other.

Could it be that Mu Yuan's husband is also a son of a wealthy family? Is that why he knows Huo Min?

But before he could think it through.

Huo Min had already pulled Mu Yuan up, and the drunk Mu Yuan clung to his arms like cartilage.

Huo Min hugged her waist tightly, lowered his eyes and looked at Mu Yuan who rested her cheek on his shoulder, his eyes turned soft.

The deputy dean looked at them.

I always feel that something is not right.

But I can’t say for sure.

I thought silently: It seems that after that illness incident, Engineer Mu has successfully gained the trust of President Huo.

Taking care of the sick is indeed a wise choice.

Mu Yuan was in a daze and felt someone hugging her waist tightly. She instinctively rejected this closeness.

Trying hard to break free.

"Do not touch me."

She frowned and swung her arms wildly, almost hitting Huo Min.

The deputy dean was terrified and quickly reached out to help.

But his hands had just been raised.

But he met Huo Min's cold gaze again.

The deputy dean stood up straight instantly.

He felt confused: Why did he feel that Mr. Huo didn't want him to touch Mr. Mu?

Huo Min grabbed Mu Yuan's rebellious hand with one hand and whispered, "It's me."

Hearing the familiar voice, Mu Yuan's confused eyes became clearer.

She raised her eyes and her vision gradually focused.

Huo Min's handsome and upright facial features were clear in the out-of-focus scene.

"Huo Min?" Her chaotic brain was completely unable to process this information.

I saw that she recognized me.

Huo Min's face was filled with tenderness: "Well, I'm here. I'll take you back."

Mu Yuan frowned and followed her instinct: "No... take it back."

She couldn't think of anything else.

All she could figure out was: she couldn't go with him.

People will see it.

She was so weak that even if she struggled, it was limp and useless.

But the deputy dean saw how repulsive she was.

Sensing Mu Yuan's reluctance, he hurriedly said, "Boss Huo, how about you please call her husband and ask him to pick her up?"

Huo Min glared at him coldly: "Why? Are you worried about me?"

His thoughts were exposed in an instant, but the deputy dean still gritted his teeth and faced Huo Min's sharp scrutiny.

She found a tactful excuse: "I have absolutely no such intention, but after all, I am the one organizing the party tonight, and Mu Gong is too drunk now. If something unexpected happens to her, I won't be able to explain it to her husband."

Huo Min said coldly: "Didn't you say they were arguing?"

"This couple always quarrels and makes up afterward. No matter how much they argue, her husband can't just leave drunk Mu Gong alone, right?"

Huo Min was rarely choked.

The deputy director continued, "Because I don't know her husband, I can only ask you to call her husband and ask him to come pick her up."

He gave a polite and courteous smile.

Huo Min's thin lips were tightened into a straight line.

He didn't move.

The deputy dean looked at him with a polite smile and urged him silently.

As if he didn't fight.

He wouldn't let him take Mu Yuan away.

The atmosphere was tense.

However, at this moment, Mu Yuan had regained some strength and began to struggle fiercely, muttering, "Don't... touch me. I won't go back with you... Let me go."

The deputy dean looked at him with increasing suspicion.

It’s strange, why is Mu Gong so against him getting close to him?

He felt protective of his child and reached out to take Mu Yuan out of Huo Min's arms: "Boss Huo, let me help Engineer Mu!"

Huo Min's expression was cold and hard, and he didn't let go: "No need."

The deputy director was embarrassed, but finally said bluntly: "After all, this Mu Gong is married. If her husband comes and sees you holding her like this, he might misunderstand. Besides, you can't free your hands to make a phone call while holding her."

Huo Min's expression grew increasingly gloomy.
