Chapter 63 "Good boy, behave yourself..."

Su Fengxian called soon after.

"That happened so long ago, why are you suddenly asking about this?"

A cold wind blew by, and Su Hui hunched her shoulders as she turned and walked into the Li Group office building.

"I was just asking casually, and then I suddenly remembered, wasn't that the first time I met Su Pu? Why is he also in the hospital? Has he gone mad too?"

In Su Hui’s mind, Zhao Qing was always a somewhat terrifying “crazy woman” who was obsessed with marrying his father.

When his biological mother passed away, Su had nightmares for several nights in a row, dreaming that the crazy woman moved into his house with a child and forced him to call her "Mom".

Gradually, this hostility spread to Su Pu.

Su was afraid that one day Zhao Qing would grab him by the neck and make him call that mute man "brother".

On the other end of the phone, Su Fengxian recalled for a long time.

"I've forgotten exactly why, but the hospital called me over and said that Su Pu and his mother had both fainted and needed a family member to accompany them..."

Su Hui could understand Zhao Qing fainting, after all, the woman was diagnosed with a terminal illness two years later.

"But why did Su Pu faint?" Su Hui asked.

Moreover, he was filthy, and his feet were frostbitten.

Who took them to the hospital that day?

Given the time that had passed, Su Fengxian couldn't be sure. "It seems like a kind person saw Su Pu running alone in the street and took him to the hospital..."

After saying that, he himself wondered, "But how did his mother get to the hospital?"

...

The past is like a pebble thrown into a lake; it makes a soft thud, but it also creates ripples.

All afternoon, the three members of the Su family tried hard to recall that past event.

Su Pu was on the night shift that day, and was responsible for closing the store.

When I changed out of my work clothes, there was only one person left in the store, and the sky outside the window was already dark.

He locked the shop door and looked up.

As expected, the president's office was still brightly lit; Li Jichuan must still be working.

Su Pu sighed. Recently, Li Jichuan had been coming home later and later, and every time he came back, he looked exhausted.

I quickly took a shower and went to sleep; I barely exchanged two words with him.

Didn't you say you wanted him to give you a chance?

Didn't you say you were pursuing him?

Li Jichuan is so busy, how can Su Pu agree to him?

With slow, deliberate steps, Su Pu walked to the bus stop and boarded the bus home.

Li Jichuan once wanted to assign Su Pu a driver, but the little mute girl was reluctant, thinking it would be too much trouble.

There's a bus stop not far from the apartment that goes directly to the coffee shop, making commuting very convenient.

The little mute boy put on his earphones and heard the singing inside.

"How can I capture your tenderness? It gets closer and closer, yet I never touch it."

Then she sighed softly, thinking with some melancholy:

What if my husband continues to be so engrossed in his work that he forgets about liking Su Pu?

Just then, my phone vibrated; it was a message from my husband.

Su Pu, come pick me up, I've had too much to drink...

The next message is a location: a restaurant located in a nearby hotel.

Su Pu was startled and immediately got up. As soon as the car stopped, he jumped off.

Finding taxis too slow, he grabbed his backpack strap and ran in the opposite direction.

The night wind whistled past his ears, but Su Pu's blood was boiling.

He felt like a brave knight-errant, ready to rescue the princess trapped in the castle.

He finally proved somewhat useful.

...

The restaurant is located on a mid-floor floor of the hotel, and soundproofing is excellent to protect diners' privacy.

Walking through the quiet corridor, Su Pu found the private room number given to her by Li Jichuan.

Through the slightly ajar door, one could immediately see Li Jichuan slumped in his wheelchair... and two boys sitting on either side of him...

Su Pu: !!!

When he burst through the door, the two boys were still trying their best to get him drunk.

Su Pu ran over, grabbed Li Jichuan's wheelchair, and shielded him behind her.

"Hiss, where did you come from?"

The man sitting opposite Li Jichuan had a deep voice; he was the host today. He shouted, "What are you doing here?"

The two little boys also snapped out of their bewilderment and reached out to push Su Pu.

"Is anyone in charge of this restaurant?"

Su Pu directly showed his left hand, displaying the ring on his ring finger—

She then grabbed Li Jichuan's left hand and placed them together; they were a pair of rings.

Before, we wanted the old man to see them get married, so many things were decided hastily, but these rings were not one of them.

All afternoon, Li Jichuan held Su Pu's hand and picked out one item after another until they finally found a style that satisfied both of them.

They put them on each other and never took them off.

Su Pu looked at the limp Li Jichuan, her cheeks flushed.

Even though she was so drunk, she knew he was coming, and she gently took his hand and squeezed it twice.

"Oh my, I've heard that Mr. Li got married, but I haven't seen you yet."

Upon recognizing his identity, the man immediately changed his demeanor, waving his hand to shoo away the two boys who had been trying to persuade him to drink.

"Young Master Li can't hold his liquor, so I booked a room for him on the top floor and called two kids I knew to help me get him up there."

This explanation was utterly weak; Li Jichuan was in a wheelchair, so in theory, it shouldn't have been difficult for him to move.

Moreover, the hotel has waiters; it's not hard to guess what their intention was in calling over two boys out of the blue.

Therefore, Li Jichuan immediately summoned Su Pu after realizing something was wrong.

But since he was Li Jichuan's business partner, Su Pu had no intention of offending him, so she simply nodded and wanted to take Li Jichuan away.

“Hey, little one,” the man suddenly stopped him, “I’ve watched Mr. Li grow up, and I’m happy to see him settled down now…”

"Then let me invite you for a drink, wishing you a long and happy marriage!"

Before Su Pu could react, a glass of wine was shoved into her hand.

"Uncle, drink first." The man downed his drink in one gulp, cutting off Su Pu's escape route.

Su Pu hesitated for a moment. It was just a glass of baijiu, which shouldn't get him drunk, so he tilted his head back and swallowed it all.

"Oh, that's great! Uncle likes straightforward kids like you..."

Seeing this, the man took out a wine pot and filled his own wine cup first.

Then, shaking the wine pot, he found it was empty, so he went around to get the cup that Li Jichuan hadn't drunk and handed it to Su Pu.

"With Old Master Li gone, the burden on young Mr. Li's shoulders has become heavier. As his uncle, I will definitely help him as much as I can, as long as young Mr. Li asks..."

Having said that, Su Pu had no choice but to drink.

So he grabbed the glass and drank it all in one gulp.

However, the second glass of wine tasted strange.

It's very different from the one I had before.

Su Pu took half a step back. The ground beneath his feet was no longer flat and was a bit slippery, making him lose his balance...

The man's voice came from near and far. In a daze, Su Pu saw the two boys who had been pestering Li Jichuan to drink with him walk in again.

Don't go near him—

Su Pu, struggling to stay conscious, lunged toward Li Jichuan's wheelchair.

But his arm was first grasped by a hand that reached out from the wheelchair.

In the blink of an eye, Su Pu was already sitting comfortably on Li Jichuan's lap.

"That's enough, Mr. Xu, isn't it?"

Su Pu blinked, trying to make sense of it for a moment.

Wow, my husband is so amazing!

Even when drunk, his speech is still so clear, just like usual.

Su Pu rolled her eyes, feeling very sleepy.

Li Jichuan's embrace was also very hot, like sitting in a furnace.

That's strange.

What did Li Jichuan say next? His voice was so pleasant.

Su Pu frowned, unable to hear clearly, only managing to catch a few ambiguous words.

“...My people...drugged...the room key…”

What does that mean?

A moment later, he felt himself begin to move.

What bad luck! Every time I get drunk, Li Jichuan catches me and I make a complete fool of myself.

Su Pu shook his head, trying to control himself and not lose his composure.

But why did they stop moving again?

Su Pu struggled to open her eyes, still sitting against Li Jichuan, and the two of them didn't enter the elevator...

Why is Li Jichuan stopping?

Are you tired?

Or have they encountered danger?

Su Pu was full of fighting spirit and struggled to get up. No one could bully his little Princess Li!

Suddenly, I felt a burning sensation near my ear.

"Good boy, behave yourself..."

"If you move again, I won't be able to hold it in."
