Su Yuxi hiccuped, a silly, innocent smile appearing on her face. Immediately afterward, she felt a wave of dizziness, and things in front of her began to appear double.
She shook her head violently; the alcohol was stronger than any she had ever tasted before, and her stomach was burning and churning, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.
"I can't take it anymore, I'm a little dizzy, I need to rest for a bit." She managed to regain her last bit of consciousness and staggered back to her seat.
Chu Juan glanced at her, worried that something might happen to her, and tried to help her up, but she ruthlessly shook him off. She had been quite friendly just now, but she turned on him as soon as she started drinking.
After several unsuccessful attempts to contact her, he could only follow closely behind her, just in case.
Fu Huaijin, like a human hunting dog, followed closely behind, the two of them like inseparable shadows, leaving no room for anyone else to intervene. They could only retreat dejectedly to continue playing the game.
Su Yuxi stumbled back to her seat, feeling like her mind was completely blank. Her pupils were unfocused as she stared ahead. Although there were two men sitting side by side, she could only see the man with the silver hair.
"Are you alright?" Chu Juan asked in a calm voice. He originally just wanted her to taste it so he could give everyone an explanation, but she was so quick that she drank all three cups in the blink of an eye.
Su Yuxi reached out her hand to the man in front of her, wanting him to hold her hand, but the man ignored her. She stood up angrily, but after taking only a few steps, her body fell forward uncontrollably.
She threw herself directly into Fu Huaijin's arms. The pleasant scent made her unwilling to get up. She just kept burrowing into his arms, inhaling the intoxicating aroma.
Suddenly... the whole world fell silent.
Everyone stared at the two with horrified expressions, wanting to look but not daring to, yet afraid of missing something if they didn't look. In the end, they couldn't help but sneak a peek to satisfy their curiosity.
Liu Ying, who had been silently supporting him, stared in shock, her steps faltering as she rushed forward, grabbing Su Yuxi's arm and her voice rising involuntarily: "Miss Su..."
Su Yuxi cried out in pain, thinking someone was trying to steal her things, and pushed the person away.
She was quite strong, and Liu Ying, caught off guard, was pushed and stumbled. Fu Huaijin could have easily reached out and pulled her back, but he didn't.
He watched as she stumbled back several steps before finally collapsing onto the sofa.
"Mine, mine, Azu is mine, don't you dare take it." Su Yuxi's face flushed with a drunken blush. She glared at her angrily, muttering "Azu" over and over, completely treating the person in her arms as her possession.
Seeing that the protagonist remained silent, the others quietly turned their heads away, pretending to be doing their own things.
Although they weren't looking, their ears were already perked up, afraid of missing a single word.
Liu Ying's face turned deathly pale, as if she had been struck by a blow.
Indeed, the man who was originally the only one she touched was now being held in someone's arms without the slightest resistance. And the man who was always kind to her was now too lazy to even lend a helping hand when she was in danger.
If she was just uneasy when she first arrived, now she was certain that Fu Huaijin had changed. In the short few days since his return, he had accepted someone else.
She hurriedly lowered her head to hide her true emotions, quickly composed herself, and when she raised her head again, she was still the perfect Secretary Liu in other people's eyes. Although she really wanted to go up and tear Su Yuxi away, she could only swallow her anger in order to maintain her image.
"Brother Huaijin, are you alright?"
"Miss Su is drunk. I'll have someone come and help her upstairs to get a room."
Fu Huaijin glanced down at her without saying anything, which was taken as tacit approval of her actions.
Liu Ying did not relax; her body was still trembling slightly because she saw that Fu Huaijin's arm was loosely wrapped around the person in his arms, as if afraid that she would fall.
Soon, two waiters came in.
Liu Ying gritted her teeth and directed them to help the person upstairs.
As if she had a premonition, Su Yuxi clung tightly to Fu Huaijin's neck and started yelling when someone touched her: "What are you doing? What are you doing? Don't touch me, don't touch me."
"Azu, help! Bad guys are here! They're going to pull my tail!" This kind of thing had indeed happened before. Her tail was beautiful, soft, smooth, and fluffy. Those older, naughty kids would always take advantage of her being alone to pull her tail, saying they would take it home to make a scarf.
She couldn't win, so she could only run. If she hadn't run fast, she might not even have a tail left now.
She held Fu Huaijin in one arm and protected her own bottom with the other: "Grandpa, kill them, kill them!"
The two waiters, not daring to offend these ladies, stood awkwardly to the side, unsure of what to do.
Liu Ying was furious, her anger flaring up, but she had to force a smile: "Miss Su, you're drunk. Nobody wants to drag you down. Shall I have someone take you upstairs to rest?"
No one took Su Yuxi's words seriously, thinking she was just a drunkard talking nonsense.
Su Yuxi squinted at her and found her annoying, so she refused outright: "No, I want to be with Azu."
Fu Huaijin and Chu Juan exchanged a glance, and the two nodded to each other secretly: "I'll take you there."
This time, the person in my arms didn't struggle and lay there obediently.
Then, to everyone's astonishment, Fu Huaijin picked the person up and carried them outside.
Chu Juan naturally wanted to go along as well.
Liu Ying stood there stunned for a few seconds, seemingly still unable to believe what she had just heard. By the time she came to her senses, they were already almost out the door.
She hurriedly chased after him in her high heels; she couldn't possibly let Fu Huaijin be alone in a room with someone else.
But as soon as she stepped out the door, Chu Juan raised his hand to stop her, and said gently, "Xiao Ying, I can handle Huai Jin's side. It's very late now, so you take charge here and let everyone disperse."
Liu Ying's face instantly lost all color. She had always done these things before, and she had no way to refuse. She could only stand there blankly and watch them leave.
The light shone on her pale, milky skin, and her quiet pupils trembled slightly, directly revealing the panic in her heart. She was afraid that Fu Huaijin would transfer the gentleness and magnanimity that originally belonged to her to someone else, but now she was powerless to do anything about it.
As soon as they left, the others, needless to say, all started to find excuses to leave. They were increasingly unable to understand what was going on. They could understand Lu Yunzhou taking Jiang Shiqian with him, but Fu Huaijin taking Lu Yunzhou's fiancée and leaving Liu Ying behind was something no one could understand.
After everyone had completely left, Liu Ying was still standing there in a daze.
She had been following Fu Huaijin all along, constantly traveling back and forth between China and abroad over the years, always rushing in and out. Whenever she had time, she would spend it with him. This time, she couldn't make it back in time for the old man's birthday celebration, so she went to see the two elderly people as soon as she got home.
They also couldn't find out anything about the relationship between Su Yuxi and Fu Huaijin.
Now....
