The driver responded respectfully.

Soon after the car started moving, Jun Li asked the driver, "Is there any water?"

The driver quickly took a bottle of water from the front of the car and handed it to him.

"Third Young Master, this is the water I usually buy to drink. Please make do with it."

Jun Li hummed, unscrewed the bottle cap, and drank the water in one gulp.

Afterwards, he leaned back in the car seat and stared blankly at the road ahead.

After an unknown amount of time, he couldn't resist the sleepiness and dreamed of Zhougong.

He woke up again and was woken up by the driver.

Because I have returned to Fengchen Villa.

"Third Young Master, we're home."

When the driver woke Jun Li up, he felt a little apologetic. The third young master had fallen asleep, and he couldn't let him sleep in the car, so he had to wake him up.

"We're here! So fast."

Jun Li sat up straight and looked outside. With the help of the street lights in the yard, he saw the familiar environment. He was home.

But he no longer had the peace he used to have when he returned home, and he always felt empty inside.

He knew it was because of Li Ke.

That girl was really cruel to him!

Seeing him and Miss Ke "acting" so affectionate, Li Ke did not feel sad. She chatted with those bosses and had a great time, clinking glasses with others one after another. I don't know how many orders she could sign after drinking so much.

It was obvious that if she only asked him for help, he could help her pay off all her debts and expand her cardboard factory so that her business would prosper.

However, she didn't let him interfere, didn't speak to him, and didn't let him help her.

What she did to him was to distance herself from him, even to avoid him, not wanting to see him, and treating him with a ruthless face, forcing him to give up.

The sister-in-law told him to be considerate of Li Ke.

Jun Li felt heartbroken. He understood her, but she didn't understand him.

"Third Young Master, are you okay?"

Seeing Jun Li's unhappy expression and sitting there in a daze, the driver asked worriedly.

"I'm fine, I just drank too much and I'm a little tipsy."

Jun Li got out of the car and said, "You can leave work. I won't go out again."

"I'll take the Third Young Master inside before leaving get off work."

The driver insisted on taking Jun Li back to the house.

Jun Li returned to his room. Only the housekeeper Aunt Wan knew he was back and came out of the room to see him. His parents had already fallen asleep and his younger brother was not in the villa.

"Third Young Master."

Aunt Wan came over and smelled the alcohol on him. She asked with concern, "Do you want to make a bowl of sobering soup for the Third Young Master?"

Jun Li walked to the sofa and sat down, saying, "I'm only a little drunk, I don't need any sobering soup. Aunt Wan, you go and rest, I don't need anyone to wait on me."

Seeing that he was conscious, Aunt Wan went to pour him a glass of warm water, placed it in front of him, and said softly, "Third Young Master, if you need anything, please call me. My phone is on 24 hours a day."

Jun Li didn't say anything.

After a moment of silence, Aunt Wan asked him tentatively, "Did the Third Young Master go to see Li Ke?"

"Why mention her? I don't even want to hear her name. She's so cruel."

Jun Li's words were filled with frustration.

Aunt Wan has worked here for many years and knows this young master very well. After Li Ke moved out of Fengchen Villa, the third young master rarely returned to the villa.

Occasionally, she learned from the lady that the Third Young Master was angry with Li Ke.

"Third Young Master, Li Ke doesn't want to drag you down. She has her dignity."

Aunt Wan still admires Li Ke very much. If Li Ke asked the Third Young Master to help her family pay off debts after knowing that the Third Young Master liked her, Aunt Wan would look down on Li Ke.

"What a bullshit dignity! She's been working herself to death and has lost so much weight she's practically skin and bones. She must be starving herself from not eating. She'll regret it someday. For the sake of business, for orders, and for being a slut, she's all chatting and laughing with people, drinking one glass after another."

If Li Ke hadn't been able to drink a lot, she would have been drunk tonight by President Zhou and those who wanted to please President Zhou.

Everyone saw that he had a girlfriend, and they didn't stop Li Ke from drinking with them. They thought that he and Li Ke were just lovers as rumored, but in fact, there was no such thing as a relationship at all, and it was just a fabrication made up by everyone. So in the second half of the party, Li Ke drank even more.

Jun Li felt very distressed.

Countless times, I almost couldn't control myself and wanted to go over to stop her from drinking.

What if she gets drunk and falls into Mr. Zhou's hands?

Aunt Wan complained in her heart: The Third Young Master obviously cares about Li Ke, but he is just being stubborn.

She said, "Li Ke can hold her liquor well, and she's also wary of others. She won't let anyone take advantage of her easily. Third Young Master, if Li Ke had gotten into your car the first time she followed you back to the villa, and then asked you for money, asking you to pay for her younger siblings' schooling and to pay for her family's debts, would you have liked her?"

"You'll feel like she only cares about your money and your status, treating you like an ATM machine, sucking your blood when she's short on cash. You won't appreciate her at all, won't like her, and will simply stay away from her."

"You like the self-reliant and stubborn Li Ke. Who can you blame? Blame your own taste."

Jun Li was left speechless by Aunt Wan's words.

Yes, if Li Ke only wanted his money, he would not even look at Li Ke, let alone worry about her. In order to preserve her dignity, he had to pay people to act with him.

Seeing her tired and thin, he felt distressed, but he couldn't help her because she didn't ask him for help and didn't want him to help her.

But he just likes the self-reliant and stubborn Li Ke!

There's really nothing we can do about her.

"But Li Ke was also wrong. She made the decision for the Third Young Master without authorization. How could she be so sure that the Third Young Master wouldn't be willing to wait for her? The Third Young Master has been single for so many years. What's the big deal about him being single for a few more years?"

"The Third Master and his wife have become numb to the fact that the Third Young Master continues to be single."

Jun Li: "...I told Li Ke that she doesn't have the nerve to let me wait for her for three to five years."

Aunt Wan: “…”

"But, but I was joking. I said that so that she would confess to me and actively pursue me. I didn't mean it. As long as she doesn't marry someone else, I'm willing to wait for her, three years, five years, even a lifetime, I'll wait."

Aunt Wan said to him, "Why is the Third Young Master so mean? He said something like that, and Li Ke took it seriously. She was thinking that the Third Young Master is so outstanding and has such a good family background. There are so many women who want to marry him. She is not in an advantageous position now. How can she hold the Third Young Master back just because of her own affairs?"

Jun Li scratched his hair irritably and said, "Auntie Wan, if I tell Li Ke that what I said was just a joke and that I'm willing to wait for her forever, will she believe me?"

"I'm not Li Ke, so I don't know how Li Ke would answer the Third Young Master. If the Third Young Master wants to know the answer, he can only go find Li Ke and ask her this question in person."
