Chapter 162 Returning Home
No matter how pure and flawless the cloth is, once it falls into the quagmire of the Meng family, it will only end up being contaminated.
The only way is to prevent the cloth from falling and stay away from this mud puddle.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and turned to leave the terrace.
After Yu Huan came out from the terrace, he found He Xiaowei in the banquet hall. He was talking and laughing with others and looked very happy.
Yu Huan wanted to cover his head with the clothes in his hand.
Walking up to He Xiaowei, she forced a smile and said, "Mr. He, your clothes."
When the people around her saw her, they all asked about her identity. He Xiaowei introduced her generously, "My sister."
Yu Huan also played the role of a well-behaved sister and secretly rolled her eyes at He Xiaowei several times.
He Xiaowei ignored them all.
While dealing with greetings, Yu Huan would glance towards the entrance from time to time. Only after he saw the figure coming in did he retract his gaze and never looked in that direction again.
The new company is currently just a small, unknown company in H City, but He Xiaowei has been with Meng Han for more than ten years and is not a stranger in this world of fame and fortune. Most of the time, he comes to watch the fun and is happy to exchange a few words with him.
Yu Huan followed him around and didn't have much time to pay attention to Meng Han.
Perhaps he was deliberately avoiding her, he didn't come towards her again, and there was always a crowd of people between them.
The cocktail party was coming to an end. He Xiaowei drank quite a bit of wine. Yu Huan blocked two glasses for him. Although it was champagne with low alcohol content, he was a little drunk now.
Following He Xiaowei out of the banquet hall, Yu Huan couldn't help but mutter, "You should hire a driver too, so you don't have to find a designated driver when you get drunk."
He Xiaowei tutted his words, "It's free to hire a driver, but I, your brother, have a wife and children to support."
“I’m telling you…”
He Xiaowei kept talking a lot, but Yu Huan was too lazy to listen. He pushed him to the car, handed the keys to the driver who had been called earlier, and then opened the back door and got in first.
He Xiaowei leaned on the car door and expressed his dissatisfaction with Yu Huan, "You are treating me too differently. I am now your immediate superior, and you won't even open the door for me! You were not like this before!"
Yu Huan pretended not to hear, closed his eyes and leaned back in the chair, pretending to be asleep.
He Xiaowei clicked his tongue, opened the passenger door and was about to get in when he caught a glimpse of a car behind him.
It was a very familiar car, with its lights on, indicating it had been started a long time ago, but it hadn't moved.
He raised an eyebrow and bent down to get into the car.
"Master, let's go."
He Xiaowei first reported the address of Yu Huan's home. On the way, he would look at the rearview mirror from time to time to see if the car was behind him.
Yes...yes.
The car was still following behind until they were almost at Yu Huan’s residential area.
He crossed his arms over his chest and sighed with great pride.
Still stubborn!
The car stopped at the entrance of the community. He Xiaowei turned around and looked at the back seat. Yu Huan was really asleep. He leaned back on the chair with his head tilted back and his mouth open, making slight breathing sounds.
He Xiaowei shook his head. "I really don't know what I like about you."
After complaining, he called out, "We're here, get off the bus quickly, don't delay me from getting home."
Yu Huan was suddenly awakened. At He Xiaowei's urging, he got out of the car with his bag. After getting out of the car, he shivered in the night wind.
It was already autumn, and the night wind was chilly. She was wearing a thin dress, so she felt a little cold.
After rubbing her arms twice, she walked towards the entrance of the community, cursing He Xiaowei in her heart as she walked.
They dropped her off at the gate of the community, and didn't want to waste a few more minutes so they sent her directly to the underground garage to save her from having to walk such a distance.
"I'm freezing."
"What are you mumbling about?" A voice sounded from the side. Yu Huan turned his head and saw that it was an acquaintance.
Huang Yiran, whom I haven’t seen for a long time.
Since that day, Yu Huan never attended baking training classes again to avoid embarrassment, and the two never met again.
Even though they suddenly bumped into each other, Yu Huan didn't feel embarrassed at all.
Is it because she doesn't like him that she can face it calmly?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but think of Meng Han. Could it be that this was also the reason? Because he didn't like her that much, so when he saw her, he could still be as attentive to her as before?
This thought made Yu Huan feel upset and a surge of depression came over him.
Not wanting to think about that anymore, she concealed her depressed mood and replied to Huang Yiran: "Nothing, why are you still out so late?"
Huang Yiran raised his hand, holding two takeout boxes, and said, "Let's go out for a midnight snack."
As he spoke, he glanced at Yu Huan's attire and said, "Are you going to a banquet? You're dressed so formally."
Yu Huan folded his arms and rubbed them, "Yeah, I went to a cocktail party."
As she spoke, she walked towards the community.
Huang Yiran walked beside her, and seeing her attitude, he handed the takeaway box to her and said, "Help me hold it."
Yu Huan took it subconsciously, "What's wrong?"
Huang Yiran quickly took off his coat and put it on Yu Huan, then took the packing box from her hand and said, "You're shivering from the cold. Let me lend you my coat so you don't catch a cold."
Yu Huan reached out to take his coat, "No need, we'll be home soon."
Huang Yiran stopped her from moving. "Alright, put it on. I know what you're thinking. Don't worry, I won't ask you to marry me just because I let you put on my coat."
Yu Huan then felt a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say for a moment. Huang Yiran spoke again.
He put his hands behind his back and said, "I know you don't like me, and I can't be a person who only cares about dating and not getting married, but this shouldn't affect our being friends, right? Besides, you're a girl, so I should take care of you. Don't think too much about it."
"Besides anything else, I'm still your teacher. It's only natural for a teacher to take care of his students."
"Oh..." He suddenly remembered something and teased, "Maybe you don't regard me as a teacher anymore and don't even come to class."
It would have been fine if he hadn't said this, but after he said this, Yu Huan felt even more embarrassed.
"Well...I'm busy lately and don't have time."
"Oh...no time."
Yu Huan scratched his head, unable to think of what to say, and the atmosphere became a little cold for a moment.
Huang Yiran sighed, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Don't skip class just because you're embarrassed to see me. You spent your own money on the class, don't waste it. I won't pester you, so don't feel burdened, just relax."
Yu Huan glanced sideways at him and saw that he looked relaxed and didn't seem to have taken what happened that day to heart. He breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, but...your clothes smell a bit sweaty."
"Tsk, I told you to relax, but you're too relaxed."
"I'm telling the truth."
The two smiled at each other, both relieved, without any ambiguity.
But in the eyes of others, it is not the same.
