Chapter 614: Not Good Enough of You

Xu Hui

After a long time, Ji Chuan called her name.

Xu Hui was held rigidly in his arms, motionless. She tried to ask in her usual joking tone, "How much did you drink? Why are you so upset?"

"Don't interrupt."

His lips brushed against her hair, and she felt as if an electric current was running down from head to toe, in waves, as violent as a tidal wave that seemed to knock her to the ground.

Her legs were stiffly planted on the ground. She was standing very steadily, but her hands couldn't help wanting to grab something so as not to feel dizzy. She couldn't lean on him, let alone grab his clothes.

She could only persuade him with her mouth, "If you have anything to say, wait until tomorrow when you sober up."

"I'm not drunk. I'm quite sober."

He still held her tightly, and their hot breaths were inseparable.

She tried to breathe more evenly. "That's what drunk people usually say."

"Let me go now, then go back to the car, call a designated driver to take you home, get some sleep, and you'll be blacked out by tomorrow morning."

He tilted his head slightly, his lips brushing her hair, and moved to her ear, saying in a calm tone: "I am sober, I know what I am doing, you are all in my mind, I like you, and I will protect you from now on."

It was hard to say whether it was expected or not, but at this moment Xu Hui's ears were still burning. She couldn't avoid his breath, so she just pursed her lips and lowered her eyes.

"Three years ago, I've always remembered your voice in the recording. I never expected you to appear before me again three years later. I never thought we'd have any connection, but every time I see you, I can't help but want to be closer to you."

"You said I felt pity for you, and maybe I did. To be more precise, I felt sorry for you. I wanted to protect you and support you."

Xu Hui listened to his words carefully and said calmly: "I don't need to rely on men. I can support my family by myself."

His voice became urgent: "It's me who needs you. I want you."

Xu Hui slowly raised his head, looking surprised.

Everything Ji Chuan said tonight was said without any thought, just out of instinct.

"I'm not talking about your body, I want you as a person. I like you, be with me."

Perhaps it was because he was so different from his usual indifferent and cold self at this moment, the weight of these words coming out of his mouth was particularly overwhelming.

Xu Hui felt the waves on her body rising higher and higher, almost swallowing her whole.

Over the years, she had heard countless true and false confessions from men, but unexpectedly, she was still bewildered by his words.

However, she only allowed herself to be in this state for a few tens of seconds. When he lowered his head and was about to kiss her, she pushed him away fiercely.

Xu Hui said calmly, "We can barely be friends, but being boyfriend and girlfriend is a fantasy."

"It's such a good job. I wanted to work here for a while longer, but it seems that I can't do that. I won't go to the institute tomorrow."

After saying that, she turned and walked towards the door.

He was drunk and his reaction was slow. After she took two steps back, he strode after her and pulled her back. His tone was too strong to allow for argument: "Either agree to me, or I will go in with you."

She looked up at him, his dark eyes were heavy with pressure, she looked away, "You're taking advantage of being drunk to act like a rogue, right? Then you stay here."

She shook his hand off with all her might and turned to leave again.

He was indeed drunk and impulsive, and he had lost all his rationality. He used a little strength to pull her back into his arms, turned her body over, and bent down to kiss her.

Xu Hui was really panicked and twisted her neck desperately to avoid him, but he still touched the side of her cheek.

In a panic, she shouted, "Go away! It's dirty!"

His movements froze, and she took the opportunity to escape from his arms. "I've been a lady and served men before, do you understand? I'm not worthy of you, and you're forcing me to say it, right?"

After saying that, without waiting for his reaction, she turned and left.
