On summer nights, even the evening breeze carries a heat.
At 1:30 a.m., Liu Nian was entertaining business associates and executives with Assistant Xie at the entrance of a club, exchanging polite words.
Throughout the event, Liu Nian maintained a professional smile, dressed in business attire, and her exquisite makeup made her appear both capable and charming.
Several restless older men at the dinner party kept staring at her and tried to get information out of her, but she skillfully deflected their questions each time.
At this time, Su Ke and Xiao Yang had just finished get off work. When they saw Liu Nian chatting and laughing with several older men at the entrance of the club, Su Ke's face immediately darkened.
Xiao Yang was rather oblivious and didn't notice anything unusual about Su Ke. He only nudged Su Ke with his elbow when he saw Liu Nian.
"Ake, it's my sister!" Looking at Liu Nian, who was struggling with several men, he added, "But she seems to be in trouble!"
Su Ke naturally saw it, but he had no intention of going over.
At this time, Liu Nian also received a notification from the system.
The updated system promptly reported to her: "Host, the male lead is currently within 500 meters of you."
The fleeting years paused, and her mood instantly improved. Looking at the group of old men in front of her, her face changed instantly, turning somewhat pale.
Shit immediately noticed her odd behavior, pulled her behind him, smiled at the executives, and spoke politely.
"I'm so sorry, Secretary Liu had too much to drink."
Liu Nian, standing behind him, kept her head down and didn't say anything.
The bosses knew that Liu Nian was Li Yao's most valued employee, so they didn't dare to pester her too much.
With Assistant Xie saying so, how could they dare let Liu Nian accompany them to the next event? They had no choice but to obediently release her.
"In that case, I'll have my driver take Secretary Liu home!" a CEO said.
Assistant Xie would definitely disagree and immediately declined: "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Wang, but we have a driver, so let him take us."
After waiting for about two minutes, the driver who was supposed to pick up Liu Nian arrived. Assistant Xie helped her into the car and gave the driver some instructions before closing the door.
Liu Nian wasn't drunk to begin with. After the driver had driven for a while, Liu Nian asked him to stop the car as soon as they turned a corner.
"You go back first, I have something to do."
The driver knew she wasn't drunk. As a qualified driver, he naturally followed the passenger's instructions. Moreover, Liu Nian was the person his boss valued most, so he would let Liu Nian off the bus and would also notify Assistant Xie.
As soon as Liu Nian got out of the car, he immediately took out his phone and sent a message to Assistant Xie. The other party replied quickly, and then the car drove away.
After the system detected Su Ke's location, Liu Nian obtained her exact location. She then walked along casually.
Sure enough, the system not long after, it notified her.
System: "Host, the male lead is within 600 meters of you."
Liu Nian knew that Su Ke was right behind her and had seen her.
After seeing Liu Nian leave by car, Su Ke and Xiao Yang headed towards their rented apartment as usual.
Not long after they started walking, they unexpectedly saw Liu Nian walking alone on the side of the road again.
The two looked at each other, both seeing confusion and bewilderment in each other's eyes.
Liu Nian walked unsteadily, wearing extremely high heels that made people tremble with fear.
Su Ke stood not far behind her, frowning as he looked at her, a worry in his eyes that he himself was unaware of.
Seeing that Liu Nian almost fell several times, he strode forward and soon arrived beside her.
Liu Nian looked at him with hazy eyes as he suddenly approached, and as if by accident, she wrapped her arms around his arm, drunkenly saying, "Handsome! Do you have a girlfriend?"
Su Ke: "..." It seems she is really quite drunk.
Without saying a word, he picked up Liu Nian and hailed a taxi as Xiao Yang followed.
"Ake!" Xiao Yang was surprised by Su Ke's actions.
Su Ke didn't say anything, but simply gestured for him to help open the back door.
Xiao Yang quickly opened the back seat of the car, and then Su Ke carried Liu Nian into the car and followed him in. Then he glanced at Xiao Yang.
"You sit in the front."
Xiao Yang got into the passenger seat, and only then did the taxi driver ask them where they wanted to go.
Su Ke glanced at Liu Nian's current state, thought for a moment, and decided to send Xiao Yang back to his rented apartment first, and then send Liu Nian back.
"Go to xx apartment."
The rented apartment isn't too far from here; it's about a 20-minute bus ride or a 40-minute walk, so Su Ke and Xiao Yang both choose to walk to and from get off work.
They are tall with long legs, and because they exercise regularly, walking is not a problem for either of them.
The car arrived at the apartment building shortly afterward.
Su Ke glanced at Liu Nian, who had been silent since getting into the car, and said to Xiao Yang, "You go up first, I'll take her home."
Xiao Yang got out of the car and looked at Su Ke with a blank expression: "Do you know where my sister's house is?"
"Hmm." Su Ke didn't intend to explain further. After returning to Xiao Yang, he gave the driver an address, and the car drove away from Xiao Yang's sight.
He was still completely bewildered. He had no idea when Su Ke and Liu Nian had gotten involved! When did Su Ke find out Liu Nian's address?! He was utterly confused. Should he tell Si Yue and the other woman?! Could there be something going on between Su Ke and Liu Nian?!
Liu Nian, who had remained silent the whole time, almost fell asleep without realizing it.
The driver's words, "We've arrived!" finally woke her up from her drowsiness.
After paying, Su Ke carried Liu Nian out of the car.
The woman in his arms was like a boneless ball, soft and light, and felt almost weightless when he held her.
