"Shushu, why did you take so long? Did those customers give you any trouble?" Her friend Xiaojie had already returned to the bar and waited for a while before seeing Ji Shushu running over, panting.
Anyone who didn't know better would think they were being chased.
"No, don't worry, the wine has been delivered safely. Xiaojie, hurry up and get me something to eat, I'm starving, I haven't had dinner yet, I'm just waiting for this big meal from you." Ji Shushu leaned on the bar, exhausted from running all the way.
“Okay,” Xiaojie handed her a menu, “order whatever you want.”
"Ugh, I want to eat meat! Bring me all the meat dishes you have here. Oh, and I also want to drink. I'll have a good drink. I was so angry just now. I'll drink some wine to ward off evil spirits."
Xiao Jie was a little worried. Had this girl really offended all the VIPs in room 412? "What's wrong? Who made you angry? Can you drink? If you get drunk, you'll have to wait for me to take you home after get off work."
"Don't worry, I won't get drunk. I can hold my liquor. I just ran into that scoundrel who took advantage of me last time in that private room again. It makes me so angry."
Xiao Jie asked the bartender to mix several different cocktails for Ji Shushu. The alcohol content was not very high, and they were sweet, like drinking fruit juice.
Ji Shushu was really thirsty, drinking one glass after another, treating cocktails like water.
"Drink slowly. Although it doesn't contain much alcohol, you'll still get drunk if you drink too much. Did that thug you ran into do anything to you again? Did he bully you?"
"Hmph, he might as well, but I won't let him succeed again!" Ji Shushu clenched her little pink fist and waved it. If that guy dared to appear in front of her again, she would punch his head off.
"Shushu, there's a lot of food. I've asked the waiter to put it on that table for you. I've also brought the wine over for you. Go sit over there and I'll come over to chat with you after I'm done here."
"Oh, okay, hiccup~" After drinking so many cocktails at once, and in such a hurry, Ji Shushu let out a burp and staggered to the table that Xiao Jie had arranged for her.
The wine was all poured, with several pitchers of fruit wine on the table, along with a large table of meat dishes, all of which were Ji Shushu's favorites.
***
Inside the private room.
After Ji Shushu left, the atmosphere in the private room gradually became lively.
Some continued drinking, others playing games, as if nothing had happened.
Xuan Mingyu didn't argue with Gu Yao anymore. After all, they had been friends for so many years, and there was no need to really break off their friendship over something like that.
However, what intrigued Xian Mingyu was when Gu Yao and Ji Shushu became enemies. Judging from her fierce and aggressive manner just now, it was fortunate that Bai Xiaoruo was not like Ji Shushu and had a relatively gentler personality, otherwise Xian Mingyu would really have a headache.
By now, the little girl should be asleep, and he should probably head back. He has to go to work early tomorrow morning, so he shouldn't stay out so late.
"Mingyu." Just as Xuan Mingyu was about to walk out of the private room, Gu Yao called out to him from behind.
Xuan Mingyu turned around and glanced at him.
"What happened just now... I acted impulsively, but I hope you don't misunderstand, Bai and I..."
“You don’t need to explain. I admit I have my extreme moments. You can keep playing with them. I’ll give you half a day off tomorrow.” Xuan Mingyu patted Gu Yao on the shoulder, as if everything had passed and they were turning a new page.
"Wait a minute!" Gu Yao had something else he wanted to ask Xian Mingyu, "That girl who just came in...you and her..."
"What? You're interested in her?"
Xian Mingyu raised an eyebrow. After so many years of adhering to the single life, Gu Yao, this monk, has finally lowered his standards and found a girl he likes?
"How could that be! I was just asking... She wouldn't... really be your cousin, would she?"
Gu Yao hadn't heard clearly what Xuan Mingyu and Ji Shushu were talking about. He only saw that as soon as she saw Xuan Mingyu, she ran over excitedly, calling him "Cousin Xiaobai" all the while.
"Ji Shushu, the second young lady of the Ji family, Bai Xiaoruo's classmate. If you have any other interests, look it up yourself." After saying that, Xuan Mingyu had already stepped out of the private room.
"Ji, Shu, Shu?" Gu Yao pronounced the three words one by one. She and Bai Xiaoruo were classmates, so they must be about the same age.
Unexpectedly, one day I would fall into the hands of a little girl and become a thorn in her side that she hates with a vengeance.
***
Bai Xiaoru fed her pet rabbit some carrots.
She chopped them into small pieces and put them in its little food box. The little guy ate them happily, as if it was really hungry.
"Eat slowly, it's all yours." She squatted down beside the little rabbit, gently stroking its soft fur.
She usually kept the little rabbit in the guest room next door. Only when Xian Mingyu was not home would she dare to bring it, cage and all, to the master bedroom to keep herself company. Being alone in such a big house day after day was really boring.
I haven't been able to go out for a whole day. I've tried everything, but the bodyguards are still heavily guarding the area. I figure even if I had wings, I wouldn't be able to fly out.
Bai Xiaoruo didn't dare call Xuan Mingyu again. Perhaps he wouldn't pay attention to her anymore, so she didn't dare to try again. She could only silently pray that his anger would subside soon and that he would set her free.
In fact, Bai Xiaoruo was also very frustrated. She didn't understand why Xuan Mingyu had gotten so angry last night. Before, when she lived in the new courtyard, she could go wherever she wanted and do whatever she wanted without anyone interfering. But starting from the last two months, Xuan Mingyu's possessiveness towards her has become stronger and stronger. Not to mention going out to play, even if she did something that displeased him, he would throw a tantrum at her.
