Chapter 219 How was last night?
The next morning, Tang Yutong was awakened by the alarm on her cell phone. She groped for the bedside table in a daze, and her fingertips touched the cold screen of the phone. She reluctantly opened her sleepy eyes and turned off the alarm.
As she struggled to sit up from the soft quilt, she was suddenly hit by a feeling of thirst. She habitually reached for the water cup on the bedside table, but only touched the empty table top.
"Ah, this is in the hotel..."
She rubbed her temples and finally woke up completely. Looking at the unfamiliar hotel room, Tang Yutong sighed softly and had to drag her tired body out of bed to wash up.
The cold marble washbasin made her shiver, and the cold water splashing on her face completely drove away the sleepiness.
After packing up, she frowned at her bare face in the mirror. There was nothing in the hotel, so she had to go home quickly to change clothes and put on makeup.
As she picked up her handbag and was about to leave, she suddenly stopped at the entrance.
She suddenly remembered that Chu Ci was still next door. She seemed to have heard some noise coming from the master bedroom while she was half asleep last night. After hesitating for a moment, she turned and walked towards the master bedroom.
She gently pushed open the door and the scene in front of her made her raise an eyebrow. Chu Ci was lying on the carpet with his legs spread out. Two quilts were kicked into a mess by him, and one leg was pressed on the corner of the quilt.
Tang Yutong stood at the doorway, watching silently for a moment, a helpless smile rising from the corner of her mouth. Finally, she gently closed the door, and when she turned around, she had regained her usual calm expression.
"Forget it, let him fend for himself."
She muttered softly, her high heels making a dull sound as she stepped on the carpet. As she walked out of the hotel door, the morning sun just happened to shine on her shoulders. She drove away without looking back, and her slightly upturned mouth corners were reflected in the rearview mirror.

Chu Ci slept until eleven o'clock in the morning before waking up slowly. He opened his eyes in a daze and frowned subconsciously. His head, after a hangover, felt like it had been hit hard by a club and it hurt so much that it was about to explode.
When he saw himself lying on the ground, he was completely stunned.
"What's going on?"
The two quilts were wrapped around him tightly like a water snake. He struggled for a long time before he could free himself from the two quilts. After all this, Chu Ci felt his head hurt even more.
He clutched the back of his head, feeling completely off. A hangover headache would have been fine, but why was there a dull ache in the back of his head as well? Could he have been attacked while he was asleep last night?
In fact, that person was none other than himself. He suddenly woke up in the middle of the night and found himself lying on the ground. He wanted to crawl back to the bed in a daze, but he was not familiar with the layout of the room. When he stood up, he hit his head on the bedside table and fainted on the spot. He only woke up now.
Chu Ci took a long time to relax, and after he felt that his headache was no longer so painful, he began to look around. He could tell at a glance that this was a hotel, but why was he in a hotel?
Chu Ci began to recall what happened last night. He only remembered that it happened when he was having dinner with Tang Yutong. He couldn't remember what happened afterwards.
Could it be the hotel that Tang Yutong sent me to last night?
Chu Ci thought about it this way, but he didn't feel entangled. However, when he mentioned Tang Yutong, he suddenly remembered something. Did I get her to tell him something last night? Did she tell me and I forgot?
Chu Ci suddenly felt a little annoyed. If he had known last night, he would not have drunk so much. What a mess! He had been busy all day and it was all in vain. He didn't remember anything.
Just as I was feeling annoyed, the cell phone suddenly rang.
Chu Ci searched his body but couldn't find it. Finally, he dug out his phone from the messy quilt and saw the caller ID was An Jiajun.
"Hello?" He answered the phone, his voice still hoarse from waking up.
An Jiajun's meaningful laugh came from the other end of the phone: "How was last night?"
"What's going on?" Chu Ci was confused and had no idea what An Jiajun was talking about.
"Don't pretend, I know everything about you going to Yu Shi Xuan for dinner yesterday. I heard that you went there with a girl yesterday. That should be your new girlfriend, right?"
"What are you talking about? You're overthinking it. I'm helping Yiran with his work. I don't have time for romance." Chu Ci said as he rubbed his temples.
"Ah? No? I was so happy for nothing... By the way, what did Yiran ask you to do?"
"It's about the last time I sent flowers to Mu Nanyan, don't you know?"
An Jiajun dragged out his tone and said jokingly,
"Oh~ So it's that matter. Yiran has been asking you to help him find out information for so long, but you still haven't found out? You can't do this."
Chu Ci interrupted him angrily: "You can't do that. If nothing else, I'll hang up. I'm annoyed."
"Look at you, you get so anxious when I say a few words to you..."
Before An Jiajun could finish, Chu Ci hung up the phone, threw the phone onto the bed, and slumped down on the floor, feeling extremely overwhelmed.
He had been busy in vain these days. Chu Ci never expected that there would be a woman in this world that he could not handle. He really met his match.
Tang Yutong is much more difficult to deal with than he imagined, and conventional methods simply don't work. In that case... why not change the strategy?
He narrowed his eyes and suddenly smiled playfully.
Since tricks don't work, then let's talk about feelings. After all, Chu Ci has never failed in matters of the heart, and he knows best how to control a woman's heart.
If he could get Tang Yutong, wouldn't it be easy to find out what he wanted to know? Besides, she's pretty, so it wouldn't be a big deal to play with her...
Thinking of this, Chu Ci felt much better. He casually scratched his messy hair, stood up and prepared to wash up. This game had just begun.

Mu Nanyan was immersed in design the whole morning. Before she knew it, the sunlight outside the window had quietly climbed to the height of noon.
Just as she was concentrating on outlining the last detail of the design, there was a gentle knock on the office door.
“Dongdongdong——”
"Come in."
Zhou Ruxuan pushed the door open and walked in with a warm smile on her face:
"Nan Yan, stop busying yourself. It's already lunch time."
Mu Nanyan looked over and said to Zhou Ruxuan who was standing at the door:
"This design draft will be completed soon. You guys go eat first."
"Do I need you to bring me some food?"
"Well, the old style is fine."
"no problem!"
Zhou Ruxuan made an OK gesture and gently closed the office door.
As her colleagues left, the studio fell into silence. Mu Nanyan immersed herself in the design drawings again, and the tip of her pen rustled on the paper.
After an unknown amount of time, a steady knock on the door broke the silence. Mu Nanyan thought that Zhou Ruxuan and the others had gone out and forgotten the key, so she put down her paintbrush and walked towards the door.
