But he was drunk at the time. When he woke up, he had a vague memory of it, but he wasn't sure if it had actually happened, so he stopped thinking about it.
"That's good. I think Miss Jiang might just like you too much, which is why she's been bothering you. Perhaps she really did have some reason back then..."
"There's no need to talk about what happened back then. She abandoned me first, so there's nothing more to say between us." Even if she really did leave because she was sick, so what? She left without even sending him a message, abandoning him so cruelly. They can never go back to what they were before.
“Let’s not talk about her anymore. My scenes will probably be scheduled for another month or so. The drama I filmed before has been broadcast, and Sister Zhang said it’s very likely to win an award. I don’t know when I’ll be able to see you on the awards stage.”
"Don't worry, it won't be long." Xiao He's tone was extremely confident. It was just an award; it was so easy for her to want it. He could just say a word and the award would be hers.
"We'll have a nice meal together when you get back."
"Great! I'm already looking forward to it."
…
A month passed quickly. As soon as Nian Xingxue finished filming, she contacted Xiao He, who couldn't wait to pick her up and take her home. He felt that he had been acting strangely for the past month, so he was eager to see the person he liked.
After Rong Li dropped them both off at home, he leaned against the car and stared at the direction of Nian Xingxue's residence for a while before looking away.
He was wondering if he should quit his job. He suddenly felt a bit tired of it. Although Xiao He paid him a high salary, his performance was commensurate with that salary.
Moreover, my role isn't just that of an assistant; I also have to act as his driver occasionally and be available whenever he calls. I used to think it was quite nice and fulfilling, but now I'm suddenly feeling a bit annoyed.
"Ah Li, what are you doing here?" Wan Ge saw Rong Li and walked straight to his side. Then she noticed that Xiao He's car was parked behind him, so he must have come here with Xiao He.
The original owner had mostly seen Nian Xingxue at Xiao He's villa before, so he didn't know Nian Xingxue lived here. Perhaps he had seen her when investigating her, but he didn't remember.
Rong Li glanced upstairs subconsciously, but quickly looked away: "I brought President Xiao here to take care of some business."
Wan Ge also noticed that this area consisted entirely of residential buildings. Although it was an upscale community, it was for people to live in, not for commercial use. So she immediately guessed: "Does Nian Xingxue live here?"
Rong Li did not deny it, and simply hummed in agreement.
Wan Ge lowered her head gently, her eyes slightly red, and looked at Rong Li as she said, "Ali, can you take me for a walk to clear my head?"
Are we going to the beach again?
Wan Ge shook her head: "Let's go somewhere else."
…
Rong Li watched as the other woman drank glass after glass, and finally reached out to stop her, covering the mouth of the glass: "Miss Jiang, please stop drinking, your body can't take it."
At this moment, Wan Ge's face was flushed from drinking, and her eyes were somewhat hazy. She leaned against her and said, "Didn't we agree not to call me Miss Jiang? Do you hate me too?"
"No." Rong Li lowered his head; of course he didn't dislike her.
Why won't you drink with me?
"I have to take Miss Jiang home later, so I can't drink."
"Wouldn't it be better not to go back then?"
Rong Li remained silent.
Wan Ge seemed a little angry and bit him on the neck. Rong Li's body stiffened instantly: "Then take me back."
"Go back where?"
“Silver Bay, that’s where I’ve been staying lately.”
"good."
Rong Li supported the other person, who was now completely leaning on her. Her eyes seemed to be getting increasingly blurry, probably because the alcohol was taking effect.
She had only taken a few steps when Wan Ge said, "I'm so tired, I don't want to walk anymore."
Unable to do anything about the other person, Rong Li simply picked them up in her arms.
From his unseen perspective, Wan Ge slightly curled her lips into a smile. It's just pretending to be drunk, isn't it? What's so difficult about that?
…
On the way home, Rong Li noticed the other person muttering something in the passenger seat. It was unclear what they were saying, but their pronunciation was becoming slurred, indicating they were clearly drunk and confused.
Rong Li sighed. Fortunately, it wasn't far from Silver Bay, and he could get her home soon.
