Totally not worth it! No, wait! She’s not getting drunk; she’s releasing anger!
Her anger represents that she is angry. Why is she angry? Isn’t it because of them? In the end, it’s just for them to get drunk.
“Even if you get drunk here, they won’t feel a thing! Do you want to get back at them?” JE said mysteriously to Luo Yaling.
“Of course I do!” Luo Yaling gritted her teeth in response.
“Then let’s do this! I’ll help you, and I guarantee they’ll experience the pain of betrayal,” JE smiled.
“What do you mean?” Luo Yaling frowned in confusion, her mind clouded by alcohol.
“Come with me, and you’ll find out,” JE said, leaning close to her ear.
“Uh? Ah? I think… maybe not… go away and don’t disturb me from drinking,” Luo Yaling suddenly felt a sense of danger.
“Don’t be so polite. I know your heart is full of resentment. If you don’t take revenge, you’ll surely suffer internally,” JE said, putting his hand on her shoulder and pulling her up from her seat.
“Let me go,” Luo Yaling tried to break free from JE’s grip, but she was too powerless to move.
Damn, how unlucky can she be? She couldn’t even drink in peace. Ugh… Luo Yaling’s heart kept sinking.
Suddenly, a tall, familiar figure blocked their path.
“May I ask where you’re taking my girlfriend?” Shen Yixuan stared coldly at the man.
“Girlfriend?” JE looked surprised.
“That’s right,” Shen Yixuan glanced at Luo Yaling, seeing she was completely drunk. Wu Ma told him she had gone to a bar, and he was worried she might attract predators. Concerned for her safety, he had been watching her, ready to step in if needed.
But he didn’t expect her to engage with men who approached her. He had made several exceptions for her safety.
“I didn’t hear that President Shen had a girlfriend,” JE said reluctantly. He wasn’t willing to give up easily.
“Just because you haven’t heard doesn’t make it untrue,” Shen Yixuan said, forcefully taking Luo Yaling from the man’s hands.
“You… hmph!” JE was unwilling, but he didn’t want to offend Shen, knowing it might only hurt himself.
“What a bargain for President Shen!” he said angrily before slinking away.
A bargain? What did that guy mean? Shen Yixuan furrowed his brow.
He looked down at Luo Yaling, her face slightly flushed and her purple eyes hazy. She was nearly collapsed in his arms.
“Shen Yixuan,” she mumbled, nestling closer.
“Hey! You clearly don’t have good alcohol tolerance, yet you drank so much. Now you’re feeling the consequences!” Shen Yixuan said tenderly.
Given her state, he couldn’t leave her alone; what if someone ill-intentioned approached? He needed to take her away.
“Girl, wake up,” he urged, shaking her gently.
“Ugh… what?” she responded vaguely, her eyelids barely open.
Shen Yixuan frowned, feeling at a loss. He hadn’t expected she had gained weight recently. With food delivered daily and Wu Ma taking care of her, how could she not?
Shaking his head helplessly at the unconscious Luo Yaling, he carried her to his car and drove to a high-end hotel.
Chapter Fifty-Eight: Drunk?
“Welcome, sir! What kind of room do you need?” the staff asked.
“Whatever,” he replied expressionlessly.
The staff looked at him, star-struck.
Shen Yixuan, growing impatient, said to the front desk, “Are you done?”
“Sorry! Here’s your room card and number,” the service staff nervously handed over the items.
Shen Yixuan took them and walked out, catching the staff’s attention with his handsome appearance.
After parking in the garage, Shen Yixuan noticed the girl in the passenger seat sleeping peacefully, curled up like a cat. He felt a mix of concern and frustration; she must have discovered the man’s affair and sought refuge in alcohol. He couldn’t fathom why she left her privileged life to endure this.
“Sweetie, just sleep here!” he murmured, carrying her into the room, removing her shoes, and covering her with a blanket. He planned to pay at the front desk and leave before she could argue with him upon waking.
But just as he was about to leave, the person on the bed let out a painful groan.
Shen Yixuan helplessly turned back. “Sweetie, are you okay? Let me get you a towel?” He had never taken care of anyone before, and this girl had made him break his own rules time and again.
Luo Yaling slowly opened her eyes. When she saw his familiar face, she was stunned. She remembered someone taking her away but nothing beyond that. Was he the one who saved her? He hated her, and she felt the same way.
“Are you okay?” Shen Yixuan looked at her, worried when she didn’t respond.
“Not good… not good at all… Are you really Shen Yixuan?” Luo Yaling said with blurry eyes. Her stomach felt like it was boiling; she felt terrible.
“Drinking so much alcohol, it’s inevitable to feel uncomfortable,” Shen Yixuan shook his head and went to the bathroom for a wet towel.
“Don’t go,” Luo Yaling said, quickly grabbing his hand, looking pitiful. “Don’t leave me alone.” Although he was bad, compared to that person, he was still better. She just wanted someone to accompany her.
Luo Yaling tightly gripped Shen Yixuan’s arm, afraid he would abandon her.
“I’m just going to get you a wet towel; I won’t leave you alone,” Shen Yixuan comforted her like a child.
Luo Yaling slowly loosened her grip. When she let go, Shen Yixuan turned to walk into the bathroom. Before he could grab anything, he heard her fall from the bed and quickly came out to check.
Seeing she was about to vomit, he grabbed a bath towel and rushed to her, but not fast enough. Shen Yixuan could only wrap the vomit in the towel and throw it in the corner of the room.
Regretfully, he looked at Luo Yaling’s stained clothes. He frowned at the thought of her sleeping in them all night.
“Sweetie, go to the bathroom and clean up?” Shen Yixuan asked helplessly.
Luo Yaling weakly nodded, but when she tried to stand, she found she lacked the strength.
Sighing, Shen Yixuan, not caring about getting his clothes dirty, bent down and carried her to the bathroom.
“Can you handle it yourself?” he asked suspiciously.
“Mm…” Luo Yaling nodded softly.
“That’s good.”
Shen Yixuan took a bathrobe from the shelf and placed it nearby. “Wear this after you clean up!”
“Oh!” Luo Yaling responded, dazed.
“I’ll be outside. Call me if you need anything.”
With blurry eyes, she watched him walk out and close the door.
Was this really Shen Yixuan? How did he become the hero saving her? Didn’t he hate her?
A foul smell wafted over, leaving no room for thoughts. Her priority now was to clean herself.
Luo Yaling removed her soiled clothes and decided to take a shower. She quickly showered, feeling more refreshed.
Unfortunately, when she tried to step out of the bathtub, her foot slipped, and she fell.
“Splash!” Water spilled out of the bathtub.
“Ouch… it hurts!” The fall nearly broke her waist, and the back of her head hit the bathtub’s edge, causing her to see stars.
Hearing the noise, Shen Yixuan rushed in. He found her with her feet in the air, completely fallen in the bathtub.
Seeing the situation, he hurried to help her, but just as he approached, he saw her completely naked.
Shen Yixuan took a deep breath and lifted her out, wrapping her in the bathrobe.
Luo Yaling lowered her head, embarrassingly red. Good heavens! Why did she always embarrass herself in front of him?
He saw everything and acted like it was nothing! She was so humiliated.
Shen Yixuan carried Luo Yaling to the bed, wanting to prevent her from getting bruised. He covered her with a blanket and prepared to leave, afraid he might impulsively “devour” her.
Just as he was about to go, Luo Yaling pulled him back.
“Is there something else?” he asked gently.
Originally, she wanted him to take her home, but the sight of him made her emotional, amplified by the alcohol.
