Shen Xinghui's brow furrowed slightly, and he said in a low voice, "I am not Lu Dongjue." There was a hint of bitterness in his tone.
No one could tell.
His reminder had no effect on Yun Suiwan; instead, her slender hand grabbed his sleeve and gently shook it: "Lu Dongjue, take me home..."
She was very drunk and forgot about the little tiffs she had with Lu Dongjue; all that remained in her heart was her dependence on Lu Dongjue.
"Lu Dongjue, Lu..." Receiving no response, her muttering grew louder.
The nearby guests were already casting puzzled glances at them.
Shen Xinghui had to take her away first, otherwise, if she made a fool of herself, it would only be Yun Suiwan who would be embarrassed.
"Wanwan, I'll take you home," he said softly.
"Mmm." She took his words to heart and genuinely believed that Lu Dongjue was going to take her home, so she obediently agreed.
Shen Xing put his arm around her shoulder, his tall figure completely enveloping her delicate frame, and the two looked very intimate.
Some of the guests started talking about it.
"Yun Suiwan has been busy all the time, even trying to seduce the Shen family members who are not respectable."
"It can't be that bad, isn't she engaged to the eldest son of the Huo family?"
"You guys don't know this, do you? They're really shrewd. This is what you call having a girlfriend but always having backup options."
"..."
Shen Xinghui glanced back indifferently, meeting the gazes of these busybodies. Her cold aura made them tremble, and the chatter immediately ceased.
"Hmm..." Yun Suiwan let out a soft moan, her legs going weak and she could barely stand.
Shen Xinghui simply picked her up and carried her across the venue.
Gu Fanyan noticed the commotion and turned to look at Lu Dongjue beside her.
He was having a lively conversation with several senior business associates and seemed completely unaware of Yun Suiwan's departure.
After he finished chatting with his seniors, Gu Fanyan considerately brought him a cocktail to soothe his throat.
“Oh,” she said casually, “Suiwan and Shen Xinghui left together. I wonder what their plans are.”
Lu Dongjue showed no reaction and was not interested in what she was saying.
She looked at Lu Dongjue and asked, "Dongjue, are Suiwan and Shen Xinghui on good terms?"
"I don't know," Lu Dongjue said indifferently.
Gu Fanyan gave a thoughtful "Oh," and said, "They seem to have a good relationship. When Sui Wan got drunk, she didn't look for anyone else but leaned into Shen Xinghui's arms."
Turning back, Lu Dongjue had already turned away and gone to chat with the others nearby.
Gu Fanyan's starry eyes sparkled, veiled in mist, making it impossible for anyone to discern her thoughts.
...
Shen Xinghui escorted Yun Suiwan to her hotel room and gently placed her on the bed.
As he tried to get up, he noticed she was still clutching his sleeve tightly, murmuring, "...Lu Dongjue, Lu..."
The large mattress made her figure appear even slimmer, and her deep collarbones were so prominent they could practically hold fish.
The excessive alcohol made her feel terrible. Her thick eyelashes trembled in the wind like two leaves. She whispered the name "Lu Dongjue." Perhaps only Lu Dongjue was the one who could make her feel at ease.
Shen Xinghui gently moved her fingers away and covered her with the blanket.
Then, he wrung out a warm towel and placed it on her forehead.
Gradually, she felt less uncomfortable and finally fell asleep.
Just then, Shen Xing's phone rang, and she received a message.
He sat quietly for a while, then got up, walked to the door, opened it softly, and went out.
He had just reached the elevator entrance when a tall figure appeared in front of him.
"Didn't you tell her to go to Courtyard No. 2?" The hallway wasn't very bright, but the displeasure on Lu Dongjue's face was obvious.
Shen Xinghui said calmly, "She's drunk and feeling unwell. I'll find a hotel nearby for her to rest. She's in room 2101 now."
Shen Xing handed him the room key and then walked into the elevator.
This kid, Lu Dongjue gripped the room key tightly in his hand, a slight smirk on his lips, "He's not bad."
As Lu Dongjue entered the room, a strong smell of alcohol immediately filled his nostrils.
"Hmm..." The person on the big bed was sleeping restlessly, with a furrowed brow and a layer of fine sweat on their nose.
Lu Dongjue frowned and his face darkened. He couldn't drink, yet he drank so much. Wasn't he just asking for trouble?
Despite saying that, he reached out and took her hand.
Her slender little hands seemed soft and boneless, and were easily enveloped by his broad palms.
But it can also easily slip from his palm.
As if feeling the strength from his palm, Yun Suiwan, who had been tossing and turning, gradually calmed down... In her sleep, she didn't know that she regarded his hand as something to rely on, so she pulled it down hard and rubbed her soft cheek against the back of his hand.
It tickled his heart and made his whole body tense.
However, a shadow fell over his eyes. Who did she take him for?
Shen Xinghui?
Huo Beichen?
She would never have imagined that he would come to her room.
This realization instantly ignited a surge of anger in Lu Dongjue's heart, a anger tinged with a hint of lemon.
"Yun Suiwan, Yun Suiwan..." He wanted to pull his hand back, grasp her shoulders, shake her awake, and ask her who he really was.
After a moment of patience, he finally just withdrew his hand.
Yun Suiwan felt her perfectly soft pillow being pulled away from her sleep, and a fly buzzing incessantly in her ear, disturbing her sleep and making her extremely annoyed.
Thump!
Without thinking twice, she raised her foot and kicked.
Caught off guard, Lu Dongjue immediately clutched his stomach, his brow furrowing in a deep frown... The woman had kicked him squarely in the abdomen.
Go down one inch further, and some people will lose all their happiness in this lifetime.
"Hehe." Yun Suiwan, lying on the bed, let out a laugh, her lips parting into a wide grin.
Although her eyes were closed and she looked sleepy, Lu Dongjue still suspected that she was faking it.
"Yun Suiwan, Yun Suiwan!" Lu Dongjue called softly a few times, trying to see if she was really asleep.
However, she was indeed sleeping soundly. Under the warm light, her porcelain-white skin and rosy lips beneath her upturned nose looked as beautiful as an oil painting.
A faint smile still lingered on her lips, clearly lost in a sweet dream.
Without thinking twice, Lu Dongjue leaned down and kissed that smile. He forced his way into her dream, hoping that the person who gave her that smile was him.
The kiss couldn't be stopped.
He was hooked; her softness and sweetness made him unable to resist, and he always wanted more.
"Eek~"
She felt uncomfortable in her sleep and slightly raised her head, which actually made things easier for him... He rolled over and pressed himself against her, his large hands beginning to wander.
Suddenly, his phone started buzzing.
The person beneath him suddenly opened their eyes, staring intently at his face with their large eyes.
Lu Dongjue was stunned for a moment, then immediately pressed the button on his phone.
Looking at Yun Suiwan again, she had already turned over and continued to sleep.
She was indeed woken up, but she was too drunk to think clearly. So opening her eyes was just an unconscious action.
At this moment, Lu Dongjue's phone rang again. Just like the last time, it was Gu Fanyan calling.
