"Zheng Kai, you...you're here." Shi Guang swirled his wine glass, already slightly tipsy.
Zheng Kai sat down beside him and joked, "If I hadn't come, you probably would have gotten drunk. Aren't you afraid of getting so drunk that you'd pass out and be dragged back to your spider cave by some spider demon?"
As he spoke, he glanced at the two beautiful women beside him who kept glancing in their direction.
The two women were caught peeping, but they casually winked at Zheng Kai.
In the unawareness of time, I raised my glass and tilted my head back to gulp down the wine.
"Hey, Shiguang, is this how you drink?" Zheng Kai, snapping out of his daze, quickly grabbed the glass from his hand.
Some of the wine spilled, but he managed to snatch the glass away. Otherwise, if Shi Guang had kept drinking like that, he would have been drunk to death in less than fifteen minutes.
However, when Zheng Kai saw what kind of wine it was, he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh: "You're intoxicated by your own presence, not by the wine itself."
"Zheng Kai, tell me, am I really that bad? Why doesn't she want me?" Fueled by alcohol, Shi Guang, without knowing where the impulse came from, poured out the bitterness that had been weighing on her heart.
Zheng Kai's pupils contracted involuntarily, and his eyes widened in disbelief.
Wow, there's a story behind this!
His expression was as if he had just heard some juicy gossip.
Just then, the bartender handed him a glass, and Zheng Kai poured himself half a glass of wine, asking, "Who is it? They have no taste!"
"Lin Momo." Shi Guang, whose senses were numbed by alcohol, was unusually cooperative and answered every question.
Zheng Kai thought for a moment and realized he probably didn't know them, so he asked curiously, "How did you two meet?"
"This time when I went out, my car... accidentally hit her, and that's how we got to know each other." Shi Guang recounted the process of how the two met in an extremely concise manner.
"Not bad, you even had a romantic encounter on this trip." Zheng Kai swallowed a mouthful of wine and teased. To entice him to reveal more information, he changed the subject, "Our Young Master Shi has money, looks, and height. What does she have? Why wouldn't she like you? Didn't you show her your financial power? These days, few girls don't love money. If you pull that trick, I guarantee she'll obey you."
He claimed to be standing up for a friend, but in reality, he wanted to find out what kind of person the girl was.
Logically, the reason this girl refused was either because her family was not well-off and she looked down on Shi Guang, or because she didn't know that Shi Guang was a rich second-generation.
"No, I shouldn't. I injured her, so I should be responsible for her medical expenses, but she refuses to accept them."
Zheng Kai chuckled: "Oh, this girl is quite extraordinary. Why don't you just let it go? You should be more open-minded. You're not going to marry her anyway. Such a good girl, you shouldn't ruin her life."
"Who said I wouldn't marry her? As long as she agrees... to marry me, I'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with her to get our marriage certificate first thing tomorrow morning," Shi Guang immediately retorted.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Kai was so frightened that he almost lost his mind and spilled the wine in his glass onto the bar.
Fearing that Shi Guang might impulsively go and get a marriage certificate with that girl, he quickly reprimanded him: "Hey, buddy, what are you talking about? Even if you want to marry her, do you think your parents will agree? What about your childhood sweetheart? Back when you graduated from university, didn't both of your parents want to arrange for you to study in England together? Who knew you would run off to enlist in the army?"
"I've heard that your childhood sweetheart is coming back from studying in England soon, and you two might even get engaged soon. I advise you to put your mind at ease!"
"What childhood sweetheart? I only see her as a younger sister, okay?"
"Really? Then he only sees you as a brother, a romantic brother, hahaha." Zheng Kai teased unkindly.
Shi Guang glared at him irritably: "Get out of my way!"
Zheng Kai earnestly advised, "Shiguang, don't be ungrateful. Your childhood sweetheart is wonderful; she's beautiful, highly educated, and comes from a very wealthy family. She's a good match for you. Isn't this how arranged marriages are done in families like ours? Whether you like her or not doesn't matter; just marry her. Besides, it doesn't matter who you marry, so why be so awkward?"
He himself could not escape this fate, and had long since come to terms with it, which is why he thought of indulging himself before getting married.
That night, he drowned his sorrows in alcohol and got completely drunk.
Zheng Kai, who had also been drinking, was unable to drive, so he simply called a designated driver to personally take Shi Guang home before calling a car to go back himself.

The next morning, Lin Momo woke up at eight o'clock.
After washing up, I took my suitcase, which I had packed the night before, and went downstairs to check out at the front desk.
That's right, Lin Momo decided to leave Haishi today.
Those who needed to say goodbye have already said goodbye.
Although it ended badly, it was at least a clean break with him.
After completing the formalities, Lin Momo dragged her suitcase out the door, intending to go to the street to hail a taxi to take her to the airport.
Having never flown before, she planned to experience the feeling of flying in the sky before her time travel.
"Crack—"
A black sedan screeched to a halt in front of Lin Momo.
The next moment, the cockpit door suddenly opened, and Lin Momo, still shaken, subconsciously took a step back.
"Get in the car!" the man said coldly as he got out of the car. He then snatched the suitcase from Lin Momo's hand, silently lifted it, and put it in the trunk of the car.
"Time..." Lin Momo had just opened her mouth when she was interrupted by the honking of a car behind her.
