Lisa walked over and saw the two people gazing at the night outside the door. She asked in surprise, "What are you doing?"
Mu Fan chuckled and was about to speak when Ning Yuze said calmly, "Just getting some fresh air."
Mu Fan raised an eyebrow, surprised that this usually aloof guy would actually speak up to cover for someone else. He clicked his tongue in amazement, but nodded in agreement.
Lisa had been talking to someone and hadn't seen what happened at the door. When she saw Ning Yuze surprisingly explaining things to her, she was overjoyed and smiled brightly. "I knew you liked the environment here. I've cleared out the terrace; it's better for ventilation there."
Ning Yuze remained silent, neither confirming nor denying.
Lisa knew that Ning Yuze was reluctant to get close to people and didn't dare to reach out to pull him, but she didn't want to waste the space she had painstakingly prepared, so she could only look at him with her eyes.
Mu Fan thought that Lisa was the hostess here, and they should follow her lead and not make things too difficult for her, so he said, "Okay, but it would be too boring to just stand there like an idiot. There's still some time before we cut the cake, so why don't we take some wine over and have a round of drinks first?"
Lisa smiled gratefully at Mu Fan, then turned to look at Ning Yuze.
Mu Fan gestured to Ning Yuze, indicating that he should agree. Ning Yuze was reluctant, and his reasons seemed absurd to himself. He actually wanted to leave and go to meet the girl he had just met.
Mu Fan didn't see the interaction between Shi Lan and Ning Yuze, and was unaware that the two had just made an agreement. Seeing that Lisa's eyes were red, he quickly pulled Ning Yuze and said, "I know your drinking capacity. Let's drink until we drop tonight."
Ning Yuze was passively dragged to the third floor by Mu Fan, with a group of young people following behind to join in the fun.
Outside the small building, Shi Lan stood there expectantly, watching the bustling crowd on the terrace, wondering if Ning Yuze had understood what she was saying.
The night was dark and deep, and the stars twinkled in the sky. Shi Lan waited for a long time but no one came, so she simply sat on the flower bed across the road and looked up at the stars.
After watching for an unknown amount of time, people began to emerge from the small building. Shi Lan scrambled to her feet and stared at the fashionable young men and women who, despite being drunk and staggering, were still trying to appear strong by putting their arms around each other.
As the crowd passed by in waves, Shi Lan stared wide-eyed, afraid of missing the person she was looking for.
The crowd quickly passed, and Shi Lan was quite certain that Ning Yuze hadn't come out. Just as she was wondering if she had missed something, Mu Fan, swaying unsteadily, walked out.
Without thinking about anything else, Shi Lan rushed over and asked, "Where's Ning Yuze?"
Mu Fan, his eyes still blurry with drunkenness, looked for a while before recognizing the person. "It's you."
Shi Lan nodded, anxiously tugging at his sleeve, and asked, "Where's Ning Yuze? Didn't he come out with you?"
Mu Fan turned his head in confusion and looked around. "I don't know, they probably haven't left yet."
Shi Lan was furious. At this moment, the lights in the small building had begun to go out one by one. If Ning Yuze was as drunk as him, he would very likely be taken advantage of.
If that person is just an ordinary woman, that's fine. But what if that person is an evil being? Wouldn't Ning Zeyuan be like a lamb entering a tiger's den?
Shi Lan pushed Mu Fan away forcefully and ran towards the small building with her long legs.
Mu Fan staggered, and only managed to regain his balance by leaning against a nearby pillar.
Looking up again, there was no one in front of him. Mu Fan muttered to himself, "Why did you run so fast? Yu Ze will be fine."
Inside the small building, Ning Yuze slumped onto the sofa, his slender fingers kneading his brow.
Lisa, holding a clear glass of water with a thin layer of frost on it, knelt down at his feet with a tender expression. "Yuze, have some water, wake up."
Ning Yuze let out a long breath, shook his head, and said, "No need, it's getting late, I should go."
Lisa leaned against the sofa, her fingers lightly tracing her exposed, fair skin. "What's the rush? I've called a driver. We'll be here soon."
She deliberately lowered her body, revealing the beautiful curves of her chest to him. Her fingertips, adorned with bright red nail polish, lightly pinched the glass and pushed it towards him. "Have some. I added some honey to it; it'll make it more pleasant."
Ning Yuze leaned back on the sofa with his eyes half-closed. Only then did he realize that the room was unusually quiet, as if there were only the two of them.
Ning Yuze's vigilance suddenly increased, and he regretted that he should not have been so confident in his drinking capacity and let Mu Fan make a fuss, accepting all comers without hesitation.
Under the bright lights, Ning Yuze's fair and handsome face was slightly raised, his long eyelashes trembling and the shadow between his nose forming an angle that highlighted the delicate skin on his cheeks.
Lisa stared at him, her gaze moving from his full forehead to his straight nose, and slowly down to his tightly pursed lips.
Ning Yuze clearly noticed her gaze, but he didn't open his eyes. He just frowned and groped for something that looked like a car controller.
Lisa slowly got up and sat down next to Ning Yuze. "Yuze, if you're not feeling well, you can rest in the guest room. My father knows there's a party at home, so he probably won't be back tonight."
As she spoke, she reached out to help Ning Yuze.
Hearing these words, even the slow-witted Ning Zeyu knew he had been tricked.
His body, sluggish from drunkenness, was moved. Ning Zeyu used all his strength to push her away and said succinctly, "Get lost."
Lisa's expression changed, a hint of fierceness appearing in her thick, arched eyebrows, but it quickly turned into gentleness.
But before she could continue to display her gentle and virtuous wife and mother persona, a rapid and piercing doorbell rang throughout the entire building.
