Long Mingwei took in the entire scene of Long Tingwei's doting and pampering of Jian Mujin, and he was equally puzzled. What exactly did his brother Tingwei see in that woman?
The shrill chatter kept circling around him. Long Mingwei wanted to ask her something; surely she should know a lot about the things between Long Tingwei and her friend?
Suddenly, Xi Xi Ha Ha ran over, shouting that Ci Er was ready to go home. Upon hearing this, Ci Er immediately pushed Long Mingwei aside and left.
Long Mingwei stared at her in disbelief, his expression changing in an instant! Did she think of him as someone she could summon and dismiss at will?
Long Mingwei had never seen a woman as tactless as her.
Feeling slightly uncomfortable, he stared intently at her retreating figure. "Woman, I'll remember you!"
Long Tingwei carried Jian Mujin out, and a cool breeze made Jian Mujin feel so comfortable that she couldn't help but doze off. As he let go, the money scattered all over the ground.
Long Tingwei shook his head, patted her cheek, and tried to wake her up.
"Ugh!" Perhaps because he had drunk too much alcohol, and because Long Tingwei had a pleasant fragrance, Jian Mujin couldn't stand the smell and suddenly vomited.
Most of it got onto Long Tingwei's white shirt. Long Tingwei didn't seem disgusted; instead, he pulled her away slightly and used a tissue to wipe her mouth and clothes.
A loud, shrill voice came running over, and upon seeing this scene, immediately covered its face.
"I'm sorry, she threw up all over you. Why don't you take it off and we'll wash you?"
"No need! I'll take you back!"
Long Tingwei carried Jian Mujin and put her into the car.
The loud, grating laughter also got inside.
As soon as the car started moving, Jian Mujin vomited violently again, filling the entire car with the smell of alcohol mixed with the unpleasant sour smell of digestion.
Even with all the car windows rolled down, Long Tingwei couldn't get rid of the smell. And judging from Jian Mujin's posture, she seemed ready to vomit for another eight hundred rounds!
"Waaah, I don't want to ride in the car! Waaah... Bad guy, go away! Grandpa, save me... Waaah..."
Jian Mujin suddenly burst into tears in a daze, crying so sadly that she hugged her neck and pulled her arms tightly together.
Long Tingwei trembled all over as he watched, and pulled her tightly into his arms. "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here!"
The laughter was jarring, and everyone looked at Jian Mujin with tension. They sighed and suddenly said, "That's how she is when she's drunk; she's especially prone to thinking about things from her childhood!"
Long Tingwei's heart shattered into pieces. What a nightmare she had gone through after he left all those years ago.
I'm such an idiot! Why didn't I investigate properly? Why did I keep hurting her?
"Don't be afraid, the bad guys have been chased away. It's alright now, it's alright. I'll stay by your side forever, no one will hurt you!"
Ignoring the filth covering her body, Long Tingwei held her tightly, resting his chin on her cheek, trying to give her a sense of security.
Jian Mujin curled up for a while, then quickly fell into a deep sleep. Long Tingwei breathed a sigh of relief and lowered his head to kiss her hair.
"Egg, I'm sorry! Can you forgive me for what I did before? Let me take care of you for the rest of your life, okay?"
Long Tingwei's fingertips brushed against Jian Mujin's face, and he spoke with deep affection as if holding a precious treasure.
He was met with heavy breathing.
"If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes, okay?"
"Okay! Then you can't go back on your word!" Long Tingwei quickly grabbed Jian Mujin's small hand and pulled her into his arms.
Afterwards, he started the car and drove the shrill, laughing girls back, leaving only him and the sleeping Jian Mujin in the car.
He originally wanted to take her back to the Long family's house because it was too dark and damp, and she was afraid that Dan'er wouldn't be able to rest well.
But he was also afraid that returning to the Long family would remind her of the things he had hurt her in the past, and that she would not forgive him.
When the car stopped downstairs at the residential building, Jian Mujin sat up with a start.
"Oh, you're home? Where are they...?"
Jian Mujin looked around and saw that the three people looked extremely confused.
"I've taken them home! Come on, let me carry you upstairs!"
Jian Mujin shook off his hand, "No!"
"Then I'll help you up!" Long Tingwei reached out his hand to her, but Jian Mujin remained unmoved, instead looking smugly at his dirty shirt.
"Drinking is bad for your health. Don't drink so much next time! You know that? When you drink too much, the boss will rip you off again..."
"What! That boss is absolutely heartless! He cheated me out of so much money, I'm going to get it back!"
As soon as the topic of money came up, Jian Mujin got angry. Long Tingwei knew this would happen, and he watched her with amusement.
"You're lying to me, aren't you? Last time, you were the one who had that guy's bar smashed up and forced him to pay off his debts. Do you know I hid in the sewers for days and nights without eating a single bite? And now you're doing the same thing again..."
Before Jian Mujin could finish speaking, Long Tingwei immediately pulled her into his arms with a look of guilt. Heaven knows that every word he heard made his heart ache as if he couldn't breathe.
He just wanted her to drink less in the future so she wouldn't be reminded of things from her childhood. He really didn't mean anything else...
"I'm sorry, you can hit me or yell at me if you hate me. But after you calm down, you have to give me a chance, okay?"
Jian Mujin could feel Long Tingwei trembling all over. To be honest, her impression of Long Tingwei was that he was always cold and aloof. Now he was so fragile and pitiful. When he looked up, Jian Mujin could see that his eyes were red.
"Do you think I'm stupid? If I hit you or scold you, what if you hold a grudge against me? Would I even be alive to go back? You have violent tendencies, and I don't want to start over with you!"
Jian Mujin cherishes her life very much. Regardless of whether he is truly repentant, she must stay far away from him.
She shook off his hand and was about to get down when Long Tingwei grabbed her tightly, his voice choked with sobs, "Do you want me to kneel before you and repent before you can forgive me?"
Jian Mujin looked bewildered, then laughed it off without a care in the world, "No need, no need..."
Quickly pulling her hand back, Jian Mujin ran away in a flash!
Caught off guard by being abandoned, Long Tingwei felt an increasing sense of guilt as he watched her flee.
Even though he tried so humbly to keep her, she wouldn't turn back. Did he really have to use a more forceful method to imprison her by his side and torture himself by looking at her hateful eyes every day?
She's such a sunny and cheerful person; how miserable her life would be without her smile.
The light in Jian Mujin's room was turned on and then quickly turned off. Long Tingwei immediately felt the light in his heart dim, and he was surrounded by darkness.
He had had enough of this dull and boring life. Jian Mujin's appearance was like the blazing summer sun, warmly illuminating his path as he walked alone.
If I can't walk hand in hand with her for the rest of my life, the future will be a frozen wasteland. Egg, what should I do to get you back to my side?
