Yuan Mu didn't know how he left the magazine. He just wanted to find Jian Yan, even if it was just to see her once.
With Jian Yan, his cold heart finally found a little warmth. As for not wanting to tell her the truth, he was afraid she would worry; he was already troubled enough, why drag her into it?
“Jian Yan, I’m just thinking that I’ve been at Fashion Vanguard for more than two years. Would it be better to switch to another platform?”
After thinking about it seriously, Jian Yan smiled and said, "That would be a real loss for Fashion Vanguard. They've lost a talented and hardworking editor."
For a fleeting moment, Yuan Mu felt that Jian Yan was so wonderful, so wonderful that just looking at her would bring tears to his eyes. He reached out his arms and asked cautiously, "Jian Yan, may I... hug you?"
He was met with a warm embrace.
Jian Yan chose to take the initiative. Her small body seemed to contain boundless energy.
Yuan Mu held her, burying his head in her shoulder, his eyes still filled with hot tears, but a surge of energy rose within him.
"Senior, could you please stop calling me Jian Yan all the time?"
It feels strangely unfamiliar.
"Jian Xiaoyan?" To be honest, Yuan Mu thought it went quite smoothly.
Without thinking, Jian Yan said, "No, don't say the same thing as that immature young man."
So, in Jian Yan's heart, Qin Shu was just a naive and immature young man. Yuan Mu felt much better. He was disappointed in his career, but he hadn't lost everything. "Xiao Yan, thank you."
Yuan Mu left that embrace, a little reluctant to part. But he understood that he couldn't give the girl in front of him anything now, and that she deserved all the good things in the world. "It's getting late, I'll take you home."
"good."
Yuan Mu hailed a taxi on the road, heading towards the Central Villa District.
On the way, Jian Yan made a phone call. "Dai Dai, are you home yet?"
The phone was answered. "This is Huo Yunchao. Dai Dai isn't coming back today."
————————
Let's talk about Xue Qiandai next.
Qin Shu was supposed to take him home, but everyone else had left, and this little devil just squatted by the roadside and wouldn't move.
"Dai Dai, it's time to go home," Qin Shu called to her.
Xue Qiandai raised her watery eyes and blinked hard. "Beautiful Huo, my stomach hurts."
No wonder it hurts; I drank so much rice wine, and my period hasn't even ended yet.
Qin Shu was in a real bind. If Old Huo found out that his little darling had gotten completely drunk in front of him, who knew how he would react? "Dai Dai, I'll take you to the hospital."
He extended his hand.
Xue Qiandai didn't accept it. "Beautiful Huo, I can't walk. You need to carry me."
Qin Shu was already sweating profusely. He'd drunk himself into a stomachache, mistaken someone for someone else, and now they wanted to add another charge against him, and he wanted him to take the blame? Little rascal, are you trying to harm me? Old Huo really wouldn't hesitate to draw his knife.
"Dai Dai, let me help you."
Xue Qiandai disagreed, sobbing, "Beautiful Huo, you don't love me anymore. Everyone else has a family, even Lan Shan does, but I don't. I'm just a little grass that nobody cares about, I'm just a little grass."
Qin Shu hadn't expected Xue Qiandai to be like this when she was drunk; she looked rather silly and cute. He racked his brains to comfort her, "Dai Dai, you're not a little grass, you're the queen of flowers. All the flowers and grasses have to bow to you."
"Kao?" Xue Qiandai was about to cry in anger. "Am I just a diaper?"
What's going on here? Qin Shu, who had never been a father, naturally didn't know that there was a brand of diapers called Kao. He squatted down, practically begging, "Dai Dai, Princess, my ancestor, what do you want me to do to leave? I'm begging you."
Xue Qiandai said softly, "Beautiful Huo, I want kisses, hugs, and to lift you up high."
Qin Shu plopped down on the ground, completely at his wit's end. "So be it," he thought, dialing Huo Yunchao's number. Before the other end could speak, he rattled off a string of questions, "Old Huo, are you done yet? Your little princess's blacked out, we're on the roadside downstairs at Yunhaiyao."
After saying that, Qin Shu decisively hung up the phone. He didn't have the courage to listen to Huo Yunchao fire back.
About forty minutes later, Huo Yunchao's Mercedes-Benz stopped in front of Xue Qiandai. The man, dressed in a smart suit, saw the girl squatting on the ground drawing circles. He glared at Qin Shu and shoved him aside, saying, "Dai Dai."
Despite being drunk and losing her senses, Xue Qiandai still recognized the voice calling her that was different from the previous one. Her eyes crinkled with intoxication, three parts hazy and seven parts misty, "Beauty Huo, did you come to pick me up on a colorful cloud? Ouch, my legs are numb."
Huo Yunchao reached out and scooped her up in his arms. Passing Qin Shushi, he questioned, "Why did you let her drink so much? Her period just started a couple of days ago; she shouldn't be drinking."
Qin Shu: "..." It has nothing to do with him; Xue Qiandai got drunk on her own.
"Go back and try filling two buckets yourself."
Qin Shu: "Yes, sir."
Huo Yunchao placed the person in the passenger seat and fastened the seatbelt. Xue Qiandai rolled down the car window herself, humming a song, "I want to go for a walk with you again, even though we're in different times and spaces. We can still face the wind and freely talk about our dreams."
"Dai Dai, don't stand in the wind, you'll catch a cold. I'll take you home."
In her condition, she probably can't even take care of herself washing up or changing clothes, so Huo Yunchao can't do it for her.
Xue Qiandai understood and wrapped her arms around his neck. "I'm not going back. I want to go home with you and sleep together."
