Outside the small building, Shi Lan shook Ning Yuze, whose eyes were half-closed, and asked, "Hey, are you alright?"
I don't know if it was because he was out of danger, but as soon as he left the small building, he was in a state of confusion.
Shi Lan pinched his nose hard, trying to wake him up.
He simply opened his mouth, exhaled a strong smell of alcohol, tilted his head, and collapsed completely onto her.
Shi Lan frowned in disgust, having no choice but to abandon the idea of waking him up. She used all her strength to bring him to the roadside, clinging to a sliver of hope that she would run into Mu Fan, who was also drunk. At least that guy was still conscious and knew where he lived.
Looking around, the surroundings were already empty.
Shi Lan frowned in worry. This was an affluent area, and few people usually came here during the day, let alone now that it was already midnight.
Worried that the big-breasted, brainless guy who was lusting after Ning Yuze's good looks would realize what was happening, Shi Lan had no choice but to help the drunkard onto her electric bicycle. Holding the handlebars with one hand and putting her arm around his waist with the other, she let him lean against her and slowly walked home.
About two hours later, Shi Lan laboriously dragged Ning Yuze, who was almost asleep, to their current rented room.
With great effort, Shi Lan moved him to the bed, wiped the sweat from her brow, rubbed her aching back from exhaustion, and collapsed onto the simple sofa.
After panting heavily for a while, he finally felt alive again. Shi Lan then came over, took off his outer clothes and shoes, covered him with the quilt, and squatted by the bedside, staring at him intently, or rather, at his pale pink lips.
She had tried to test Mo Yun in every way, but to no avail. If Zhou Yuxiu hadn't drugged him to take the initiative, she and Mo Yun wouldn't have broken the rules and made such intimate contact. Shi Lan suspected that it was because of that intimate contact that Haoze regained consciousness.
only……
Shi Lan bit her finger, looking very troubled.
Although she has traveled through more than a dozen worlds, she has mostly achieved her goals through force or cunning. Forcing herself on someone is really too low-class.
Looking at his dry, soft lips, Shi Lan's gaze lingered on them several times, but she still couldn't bring herself to take a bite.
The lights were dim, and Ning Zeyu lay quietly on his back. His fair skin radiated a lustrous glow, like a finely polished jade statue or a large, carefully sculpted doll. He had a high nose, red lips, long eyelashes, and bright eyebrows.
Shi Lan suddenly brought her face close to his lips, lingered for a long time before slowly pulling away, helplessly pulling the blanket up a little, sighing softly, her face flushed red, she got up and turned off the light, then quietly shrank back onto the sofa half a meter away.
Unbeknownst to her, the moment she closed her eyes, the man who had been asleep the whole time suddenly opened his eyes, quietly gazing at the serene sleeping face half a meter away from him, his heart wavering.
After a while, once he was sure the person had fallen asleep, he slowly closed his eyes.
It felt like she had only slept for a moment before Shi Lan was awakened by her fixed biological clock. She groggily got up and subconsciously looked towards the bed.
One glance was enough to instantly dispel her drowsiness.
She hurriedly got up and rushed into the bathroom, only to find no one there. After repeatedly checking that there was nowhere in the less than 30-square-meter apartment to hide a living person, she slumped her shoulders in dejection.
Although he knew that such caution was only natural, she had, after all, snatched him back from the jaws of a wolf. Logically and emotionally, he should wait for her to wake up and thank her.
The house was quiet, which made the bustling traffic outside seem even more lively.
Shi Lan sat on the edge of the bed for a while, lost in thought. Perhaps because of Ming Xiao's words and Mo Yun's unusually different attitude towards her, Shi Lan had great confidence in Ning Zeyu and felt that as long as she was there, he would not leave.
As a result... reality slapped her hard in the face.
My mind was buzzing in a jumbled mess, and something in my pocket kept buzzing.
Shi Lan casually reached out and pulled out an old, chipped cell phone. She pressed the call button, but before she could even speak, she heard an extremely irritable male voice on the other end, "Shi Lan, what are you doing? I asked you to deliver a cake, and you've offended a client. You have thirty minutes to come over and complete your resignation procedures. We can't afford a troublemaker like you here."
Shi Lan frowned, moved the constantly roaring phone away, and as soon as the sound subsided, she put the receiver to her ear and heard the 'beep beep' sound of the phone being hung up.
Shi Lan pursed her lips and cursed a couple of times, not surprised by the outcome.
When she rushed in yesterday and saw that it was the woman who refused to accept the cake who opened the door, she knew that she probably couldn't keep her job. Although this salary was very important to her in her current situation, it was not as important as Haoze. She couldn't let this tender and bright young man be devoured by that big-breasted, brainless woman. However, thinking about the salary that would be paid in two days, she still felt a pang of heartache.
Hopefully, the boss won't find an excuse to withhold my salary.
After a quick wash, Shi Lan got on her bike and pedaled furiously to a luxuriously decorated hotel.
She handed over the money and receipt at the counter, then hurried up to the third floor and knocked on the manager's office door.
A few sounds came from inside the room, followed by a male voice on the phone, "Come in."
Shi Lan straightened her expression, put on an extremely anxious and aggrieved look, and then pushed her inside.
"manager."
The man looked up and saw it was Shi Lan; his face immediately fell. "What, it's you?"
Shi Lan stepped forward and said with a fawning smile, "Manager, I was wrong about what happened yesterday, but you don't know, that woman is a real pain. I rode my bike all the way to deliver the cake, and she just ignored it without even looking at it. I thought to myself, this cake is so expensive, I shouldn't waste it, so I knocked on the door again." Shi Lan stepped forward and poured him a glass of water, who was waiting for her with a cold look in his eyes. She said, "Luckily I knocked, otherwise the money for this cake would be gone."
The manager remained silent with a sullen face. Shi Lan cautiously said, "Manager, I've been here for almost half a year now. I've always been diligent and conscientious, and I've never dared to delay a client for even a minute. You wouldn't fire me just because of this one deal, would you?"
The manager finally looked up and his gaze fell on Shi Lan. "What can I say to you? Do you even know who you've offended?" He tapped the table and said, "The daughter of the owner of Lengmei Winery."
What?
Shi Lan blinked, completely bewildered.
The manager frowned, unwilling to explain the hidden background of Lengmei Wine Shop to her. He simply shook his head and said, "It's just a cake. Why bother with such a mere five thousand yuan and upset that young lady? Do you know that she has already threatened to cause trouble here?" He continued, "I know you're a good person, but there's nothing I can do. For the sake of this shop, you should leave."
Shi Lan said, "Then what about my salary this month..."
The manager glared at him, "I know whether this store can even survive, and you're worried about your little bit of money?"
Shi Lanka stared blankly, without moving.
The manager finally lost his temper and yelled, "No!"
Shi Lan quickly recalled the procedures the original owner went through when she started working, confirming that she had never signed any contracts or similar documents.
Since there was no text protection, she could only slump down and sheepishly slip out the door. (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on Qidian. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please read on m.)
