Yue Yitang groped around aimlessly until she finally found a relatively comfortable corner. Then, like a lazy kitten, she curled up and quickly fell asleep.
Huo Nanchu, standing to the side, gazed quietly at Yue Yitang, who was sound asleep and completely unguarded, and a strange feeling welled up in his heart.
He had never seen such an innocent person before. At this moment, Yue Yitang was like a pure child, making people want to protect her.
As if possessed, Huo Nanchu reached out and gently pinched Yue Yitang's round, pink cheek.
A wonderful sensation welled up in my heart when my fingers touched that soft skin.
When he came to his senses, he quickly let go, as if he had been burned, and wiped his palm with his trouser leg, as if trying to erase the trace of that momentary impulse.
"I must be drunk..." Huo Nanchu muttered to himself.
As the alcohol took effect, he felt a wave of dizziness wash over him. His eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and he struggled to keep his eyes open, trying to stay awake, but ultimately he couldn't resist the onslaught of drowsiness.
In his drowsy state, he subconsciously shifted the arm he was holding Yue Yitang, afraid that he might accidentally drop her onto the car while he was asleep.
The car was parked at Villa No. 18 in Yijingxi Garden, which is located in a lush oasis, surrounded by meticulously manicured gardens and tree-lined paths.
Its exterior design is ingenious, blending modern and traditional elements, making it elegant and sophisticated.
The villa's walls are painted in a warm beige tone, which complements the surrounding natural environment.
The villa's gate is spacious and grand, with a pair of exquisite stone lions standing at the entrance, as if guarding this prestigious residence.
"Young Master, we've arrived," Uncle Wang said softly as he turned around.
"Okay, sure." Huo Nanchu, sitting in the back seat of the car, nodded slightly, his voice a little low.
He struggled to open his heavy eyelids, forcing himself to stay awake.
In fact, before getting into the car, Huo Nanchu had already given Wang Bo clear instructions: go directly to Yue's family villa.
At this moment, they finally arrived at their destination.
Huo Nanchu carried Yue Yitang inside without any problems.
Upon entering the house, the first thing that catches the eye is the beautifully decorated living room.
It displays a variety of high-end and luxurious furniture, with soft and comfortable sofas and gorgeous carpets complementing each other, giving people a sense of comfort.
The Yue family home was unusually quiet; apart from the security guard at the gate, everyone else was sound asleep.
However, Huo Nanchu suddenly found himself in trouble after entering the living room.
The living room was empty, not a soul in sight. Facing Yue Yitang, who was fast asleep in his arms, he was at a loss for what to do.
"Wake up." Huo Nanchu gently patted Yue Yitang's shoulder.
"No, I'm sleepy." Yue Yitang mumbled, then fell into a deep sleep again.
Just as Huo Nanchu was at a loss and didn't know how to deal with the predicament, the Yue family's butler appeared.
The butler naturally recognized Huo Nanchu and led him to Yue Yitang's room without hesitation.
Thinking that his young lady was finally getting married, he knew he had to tell his master and mistress the good news tomorrow.
The young lady has excellent taste; she should have at least found the best young man in Beijing.
The butler's eyes almost disappeared from smiling.
After entering the room, Huo Nanchu carefully and gently placed the person in his arms on the soft and comfortable bed.
However, just as he let go, Yue Yitang seemed to lose her support, and her body involuntarily fell downwards.
She instinctively hugged Huo Nanchu tightly, refusing to let go.
Faced with this sudden turn of events, Huo Nanchu could only patiently and gently comfort the person in his arms.
After some effort, Yue Yitang finally relaxed, slowly released her hands, turned over, and drifted into a sweet dream.
Looking at Yue Yitang sleeping peacefully, Huo Nanchu felt an indescribable emotion welling up in his heart, but at the same time he also felt a strange sense of loss.
This feeling intensified as Yue Yitang was completely pulled away from his embrace.
Finally, after the butler safely escorted Huo Nanchu to the car, he turned and left.
Huo Nanchu sat in the car with her eyes closed, but Yue Yitang's voice and smile kept appearing in her mind.
The next morning, when sunlight streamed into the room through the window, Huo Nanchu slowly opened her eyes and realized it was already very late.
He usually gets up on time to go to work, but today he overslept and didn't go to work.
At this very moment, Huo Jinning was curled up on the sofa in the living room, engrossed in watching a popular Korean drama.
When she noticed that her older brother was still at home, she was quite surprised: "Brother, why didn't you go to the company today?"
Huo Nanchu rubbed his throbbing temples and explained, "Last night, my cousin Zhao Ziheng, Qian Chengfeng, and I had a small get-together. We probably drank a little too much, and I just couldn't get up this morning."
Upon hearing her brother mention Zhao Ziheng and Qian Chengfeng, Huo Jinning immediately put down the cushion she was holding and straightened up.
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. "You were drinking with Zhao Ziheng and Qian Chengfeng?"
Huo Nanchu nodded slightly in affirmation, then simply added, "Yes, we're just having a few drinks and chatting."
However, he understood why his sister was reacting so strongly.
After all, the relationship between Zhao Ziheng and Qian Chengfeng and them was quite complicated.
[The poor older brother still doesn't know that his two childhood friends have betrayed him.]
