Qi Yanxu asked for Jiang Hua's home address and then planned to take her home.

Especially considering Jiang Hua's current state—she's completely drunk and her mind is unclear—she should go back and get some rest.

So Qi Yanxu, carrying Jiang Hua, greeted his colleagues and then planned to take her home.

It took a lot of effort to carry Jiang Hua into the car. Fortunately, she didn't have the habit of acting crazy when she was drunk and slept peacefully. Qiao Yanxu settled her in the car and then set off.

Jiang Hua remained completely still throughout the journey, which worried Qi Yanxu. So, when they passed a supermarket, he specially bought her a hangover remedy and a bottle of water.

He helped Jiang Hua up, intending to feed her, but it didn't seem to go smoothly; Jiang Hua wouldn't cooperate. She kept saying she wanted to sleep and not to be disturbed.

When she gets angry, she'll even hit Qiao Yanxu with her little hand.

Qiao Yanxu had never seen Jiang Hua so adorable before. Usually, she was always very distant with him and would never act so affectionately like this.

This overjoyed him, and he stared at Jiang Hua's face, mesmerized. He wished time could stand still at this moment, never to change. He was afraid that Jiang Hua would look at him after she sobered up, and that she wouldn't be cute at all.

Just then, Jiang Hua suddenly rolled over and hit him, and he realized that he had been thinking nonsense again.

Let's get her home quickly, so Qiao Yanxu quickly fed Jiang Hua the 'medicine' and then continued driving her home.

It was getting late, and Gu Yiming still hadn't seen Jiang Hua return. He started to worry. He thought, "It's so late, she shouldn't still be here. Even if she's working overtime, she should at least call me."

What's going on now? She's not coming back and isn't calling him. This is making him worry constantly. There's really no other way, so Gu Yiming took the initiative to call Jiang Hua.

But no one answered the phone, which made Gu Yiming even more worried. He wondered if Jiang Hua had been bullied since she had just found a job, and why she hadn't come back yet.

This wasn't like Jiang Hua's usual behavior. He wondered if something had happened to her. But no, no, he quickly dismissed that thought. How could anything have happened to Jiang Hua? She must have been busy somewhere and forgotten her phone.

Gu Yiming kept explaining this to himself, and finally decided to wait at home, thinking that she might come back soon.

He waited at home, and as time passed, Jiang Hua still didn't return. He couldn't wait any longer and decided to go out and look for her.

Just as he put on his coat and was about to leave, the door suddenly opened, and Gu Yiming was overjoyed. He thought it must be Jiang Hua returning.

But when he looked up, he saw Qiao Yanxu opening the door, and Jiang Hua was currently in Qiao Yanxu's arms.

Gu Yiming could hardly believe his eyes. Why was Jiang Hua in Qiao Yanxu's arms? Where had they gone? What had they done? These questions exploded in Gu Yiming's mind like a bomb.

He felt like he was about to go crazy from this scene, so he stepped forward, snatched Jiang Hua back, and hugged her in his arms.

Qiao Yanxu looked at his behavior with amusement: "Your reaction is too much. What's wrong? You can't stand it? Are you jealous? I really didn't expect you to be like this." He chuckled twice as he spoke.

"Qiao Yanxu, I'm warning you, stay away from Jiang Hua from now on. I forbid you from seeing her. You better do as I say."

"Why should I listen to you? Liking Jiang Hua is my freedom, and wanting to see her is also my freedom. These are none of your business. You'd better understand that." Qiao Yanxu spoke firmly, refusing to back down.

"How can I not care? She's my girlfriend now. Don't you think it's inappropriate for you to treat someone else's woman like this, Young Master Qiao?" he said through gritted teeth.

Qiao Yanxu didn't care about any of that and said, "You two are just boyfriend and girlfriend now, not married. As long as she's not married, I still have the right to pursue her. These are things you can't decide. And there's one more thing you should know: Jiang Hua isn't only for you. I'm no worse than you in any way. As long as I try, she'll fall for me."

Gu Yiming found it laughable. He was certain that Jiang Hua wouldn't like him. Qiao Yanxu was really naive, actually thinking that he could succeed just by being shameless like this. How ridiculous.

Qi Yanxu looked at the strange smile on Gu Yiming's face and felt a little strange. He asked him, "What do you mean by that? Am I wrong? As long as Jiang Hua is not married, I have the opportunity to pursue her. Even you can't stop me."

"Fine, say whatever you want, but that kind of thing will never happen. As long as I'm here, I can make Jiang Hua only like me. You should give up." Gu Yiming seemed very confident about this.

He didn't want to get entangled with Qiao Yanxu any longer, and he gave him the order to leave as soon as he saw him: "Alright, now that you've brought Jiang Hua back, you can leave. I don't have time to entertain you right now, so I won't see you out." Gu Yiming's meaning couldn't be clearer.

But Qiao Yanxu wouldn't leave so easily; he wanted to stay and watch Jiang Hua sober up.

“I’m not in a hurry. I don’t trust you to take care of Jiang Shi. I’d rather take care of her myself. That’s why I don’t want to leave right now.”

Gu Yiming was furious when he heard this and wanted to stay and leave him somewhere.

He naturally disagreed: "Qiao Yanxu, you'd better understand that this is my home. I don't welcome you here. Please leave. Don't force me to call the security guard; that would be unseemly."

Qiao Yanxu wasn't a stubborn person, nor did he want to escalate the situation. He stopped insisting, thinking he had plenty of time later and didn't care about this little bit. He gave a few instructions and then left.

After Qiao Yanxu left, Gu Yiming carried Jiang Hua back to the hospital and looked at her sleeping peacefully on the bed.

Gu Yiming's feelings were complicated. It was so late, and Qiao Yanxu had brought her back in such a drunken state. Had they done something to betray him?

Just now, Qiao Yanxu was so arrogant, saying he wanted to pursue Jiang Hua. Could something have happened between them? Gu Yiming felt more and more uneasy, and he felt that things were not so simple.

Thinking like that was no substitute for action. He then stripped Jiang Hua of her clothes and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she hadn't been hurt and her body was still smooth.

When Jiang Hua woke up, she saw Gu Yiming taking off her clothes and retaliated by slapping him, but Gu Yiming blocked it.
