Chapter 21 Hangover Aftereffects
Concern leads to confusion.
When Su Pu woke up, she forgot to check the time. When she rushed out of the room and bumped into Uncle Wang, she learned that it was almost nine o'clock.
Li Jichuan had already gone to work.
Su Pu stood dejectedly in the corridor, trying hard to recall how he got home yesterday.
However, his mind was blank.
From what moment did I begin to completely lose my memory?
"Uh, Brother Su... what are you doing here too..."
A familiar voice approached, and Su Pu subconsciously looked up—
He actually saw Ouyang in Li Jichuan's apartment!!
Judging from his appearance, Ouyang had just woken up, his face looking haggard, unable to hide the traces of his drunkenness.
He shrugged and muttered, "My whole body aches. Did I get into a fight last night?"
Uncle Wang scoffed at him.
"After drinking so much, I had to be carried back. Of course my body aches..."
Ouyang rubbed the back of his neck. "This is the first time I've ever been this drunk. Is this Mr. Li's house?"
Uncle Wang smiled reproachfully and answered yes.
"Oh my god, President Li usually looks so serious, I never expected him to be such a kind-hearted person."
He belatedly sighed in realization.
"I thought he would think we two drunkards were in the way and just throw us out on the street."
Uncle Wang puffed out his chest, his face full of pride, "Mr. Li would never be such a cold-hearted person!"
"Yeah, I have to say. But it's definitely President Li's house. The bed is so soft and comfortable, much better than my dorm bed... By the way, Su-ge, how did you sleep last night? You got drunk even earlier than me. You got so drunk with just a little bit of alcohol. You have no idea how funny you were last night..."
Upon hearing this, Su Pu tensed up and looked at Ouyang with a serious expression, signaling him to continue.
Ouyang chatted with Uncle Wang and Su Pu with a smile.
"Just last night, I went to the bathroom and came back intending to continue drinking. Then I saw Brother Su hugging President Li's neck and trying to pry him off."
"Haha, is that so?" Uncle Wang laughed, glancing at Su Pu with a teasing look.
"Yeah, it startled me. I was sobering up. I ran over to pull him away. But don't let my skinny appearance fool you, Su-ge is incredibly strong. The more I pulled him away, the tighter he held on. In the end, he even sat on President Li's lap."
Su Pu: !!!
He frantically shushed Ouyang Bi, trying to stop him from saying anything more.
Ouyang was happy to tease him. Anyway, once they left this door, they would probably never see these servants from Li Jichuan's house again in their lives, so there was nothing to be ashamed of.
On the contrary, it was quite rare to see Su Ge blushing and looking embarrassed.
Not wanting to miss such an opportunity, Ouyang began to recreate the scene from last night in exaggerated gestures.
"When I saw it, I thought, oh dear, how presumptuous! Even the closest friends shouldn't just sit on someone's lap like that... But, you know, Mr. Li is a man who does great things. Even in this kind of situation, he can still control his emotions and is very classy."
"My brother Su even had his arms around his neck and slept with his head in his arms, but President Li didn't put him down. He just held him like that. Look at his integrity and magnanimity!"
Ouyang gave a thumbs up from the bottom of his heart.
Now that things had come to this point, Su Pu also became curious.
Although it wasn't the first time he had sat on Li Jichuan's lap, he had unknowingly sat on it twice before he completely blacked out last night.
But is Li Jichuan really willing to hold him and let him sleep with him in his arms?
Didn't he himself say that their marriage was just to appease his grandfather, and that they didn't have any obligations to fulfill in private?
So why indulge him like this?
Su Pu looked at Ouyang and gestured for him to continue.
Ouyang shrugged, "I don't remember the rest either..."
"You wouldn't let go of President Li, so I just wanted to finish the rest of my beer quickly and get you home... and then I got drunk and don't remember anything..."
Two seconds later, Ouyang suddenly exclaimed "Oh!" and realized something.
"Oh dear, I just remembered something else. I think I did get into a fight last night!"
Su Pu was astonished.
They actually got into a fight? Did he join in?
Was Li Jichuan fighting alongside them, or was he injured because of them?
"It was like outside a bar. I remember it was a bit windy last night. I was fighting two people, and there seemed to be someone standing behind me. They were really thin and very fair-skinned..."
Thin and fair-skinned, that does match Su Pu's appearance...
Ouyang and Uncle Wang looked at Su Pu together. Su Pu held his head, unable to recall even a single moment.
What's even more intriguing is, where was Li Jichuan when Ouyang was protecting him?
Is he really injured?
Ouyang asked Uncle Wang, "How exactly did we get back yesterday? Was President Li injured?"
Uncle Wang squinted as he recalled.
“You’re not injured,” he glanced at Su Pu and coughed lightly. “Mr. Su came back in a wheelchair with Mr. Li… As for you, the driver carried you up.”
Su Pu was relieved that Li Jichuan was not injured.
Ouyang then realized what was happening and shouted exaggeratedly.
"Oh my god, so you mean, Su-ge, you were holding onto President Li's neck the whole night without letting go?"
"So how did you sleep afterwards? Did someone help you pull you off President Li?"
Uncle Wang replied seriously, "Yes, we did ask two maids to help Mr. Su change into his pajamas last night."
"Then the servants carried my brother Su into the guest room?" Ouyang asked casually.
Uncle Wang looked at him suspiciously, "Guest room?"
"Mr. Su slept in the master bedroom last night."
"The master bedroom!"
Ouyang repeated Uncle Wang's words twice, like a broken record.
He then looked at Su Pu with a suspicious expression.
"Brother Su, there's something strange about you and President Li. With so many rooms in this house, even the best of friends wouldn't sleep in the master bedroom together..."
Su Pu blushed; she could no longer hide it.
I just hope it won't be a burden to Li Jichuan.
Su Pu braced herself, went back to her room to get her phone, and confessed about their relationship.
"What!!!!!"
As expected, Ouyang's reaction was as exaggerated as he had imagined. Uncle Wang couldn't stand the commotion and went to prepare breakfast for them with a smile.
"You, you, you, me, me, me," Ouyang exclaimed excitedly, gesturing wildly. "You guys kept it a secret so well!"
Su Pu sighed and asked him to keep the secret.
"That's fine, anyway, no one would believe it if I told them..."
"The wife of the head of the prestigious Li Group is actually making coffee right downstairs from their headquarters."
"It just feels kind of magical."
Ouyang leaned against the wall, his eyes glazed over.
I've never thought about changing jobs, and I don't want to stay at home. I love making coffee; it makes me happy!
Su Pu shared it with him.
Moreover, perhaps soon Mr. Li will meet someone he likes and break off the engagement... At that time, I hope I can leave more gracefully, and say goodbye to him with confidence and dignity.
Ouyang felt a lump in her throat as she looked at it.
"Brother Su, I support you! We can't give up our careers just because we married a big shot! Besides, I think you're amazing and very clear-headed. I want to be as ambitious as you and work hard to create a future for myself!"
Su Pu patted him on the shoulder to encourage him.
So, I've already drunk with you. Have you fulfilled your promise to ask for my help before?
"Of course! Brother Su, this drinking session was totally worth it. I feel so energized right now, I could go for a 10-kilometer run!"
What do you want me to help you with?
Su Pu curled her lips into a harmless smile.
I'd like to ask you to help me conduct a survey at your school. The data needs to be as accurate as possible, so we need to find a way to get the students to patiently fill out the forms.
Ouyang was taken aback. "This sounds so abstract. Do you have a concrete plan?"
Su Pu nodded.
He really does have one.
...
After finishing the meeting, Li Jichuan remotely controlled his wheelchair to walk to his office.
As he passed the secretary's office, Echo reminded him with a smile.
"Mr. Li, your coffee has arrived."
"oh……"
Li Jichuan frowned.
Doesn't he buy a cup of coffee from downstairs and bring it up every day? Why bother reminding him?
Pushing open the door, I found that besides an extra cup of coffee, there was another person in his office.
The person who makes coffee.
Li Jichuan was subconsciously happy, but then suddenly remembered a few moments from last night.
Two blushes quickly spread across her cheeks.
Everyone says drinking is harmful, but I never expected that last night's alcohol would not only get Su Pu drunk.
Li Jichuan was also drunk today.
