Yu Ting’s words became increasingly impassioned, and thankfully a fair amount of the drink in her hand had spilled due to her dramatic gesturing. She attempted to leap up several times, but was repeatedly pushed back down by Ning Xuan.
"Alright, alright, I’ll even hire her to shovel shit, let’s get you home," Ning Xuan played along with the drunkard’s ramblings, blissfully unaware that she was talking about Shen Ruchu, a female CEO worth billions.
"But he’s not even my..."
The scene shifted abruptly; Yu Ting’s voice was significantly quieter now. She looked a little pitiful, hunching into a small ball. Ning Xuan couldn’t bear it; her heart softened slightly. She considered comforting her to give her some sense of security, but just as she was about to do so, Yu Ting suddenly stood up after quieting down, striking a pose.
"Am I not beautiful?"
Due to her unfamiliarity with such actions, Yu Ting looked particularly awkward. She couldn’t even keep track of herself or others, yet her hazy eyes were still trying to dazzle.
Ning Xuan:...............
"Nice one, I’ll record this and see if you’ll still feel embarrassed after sobering up."
Resigned, Ning Xuan pushed Yu Ting back down again, planted her hands on her hips beside her, intending to take Yu Ting somewhere to sleep it off.
Leaning in closer, she could hear Yu Ting’s incessant mumbling.
"Why doesn’t Lu Nanchen like me...Despite the fact we’re married, he still doesn’t like me..."
Ning Xuan: ?!
She felt like the fool in the field.
"You’re married to Teacher Lu? The ring Teacher Lu wears is your wedding ring?"
Her curiosity caused Ning Xuan to halt, leaning in closer to Yu Ting, she asked in astonishment.
"If he doesn’t like me, why is he treating me so well?"
Yu Ting totally ignored Ning Xuan’s question.
Ning Xuan:...
She got it now, it was all about this angst.
Ning Xuan seated herself next to Yu Ting, glancing at her and the table full of bottles, frowning slightly.
After thinking for a while, she patted Yu Ting trying to feel something. She finally found something rectangular and pulled out Yu Ting’s phone. She unlocked it using Yu Ting’s fingerprint and found Lu Nanchen in the contacts, immediately dialing his number.
The call was picked up quickly after a ring, with Lu Nanchen still reading at this moment on the other side.
"Hello! Lu Nanchen, right?" Ning Xuan yelled out.
My mom told me, men who marry someone they don’t love are scum.
"...Who is this?"
"I’m Yu Ting’s roommate, she’s drunk at a bar right now. Do you want to come pick her up? If you don’t, I’ll bring her home myself," Ning Xuan said.
If it wasn’t for Yu Ting’s circumstance, I would just take her home myself. Why bother calling you?
Her impression of Lu Nanchen plummeted.
"Alright, send me your location," Lu Nanchen responded quickly this time.
Seeing Lu Nanchen respond promptly made Ning Xuan slightly less displeased. She sent him their location right away, then turned to look at Yu Ting, who was still mumbling and whimpering from time to time.
By the time Lu Nanchen arrived, about ten minutes later, he was moving quickly. Dressed in a beige sweater with a black jacket draped over his arm, his cool and fragrant presence clashed with the atmosphere of the bar. He scanned around from the entrance, and then spotted Yu Ting in a corner.
She was attempting to pour more alcohol, but a woman beside her kept restraining her.
After being held back several times, Yu Ting got angry, her brows furrowing deeply.
"Don’t you dare be as annoying as that idiot Lu Nanchen!"
The travel-worn Lu Nanchen: ?
