Chapter 596: After drinking, who am I to you?_3
He bowed his body and looked at the person on the bed, perhaps having received a promise, and soon her breath gradually became shallow and even; she was clearly fast asleep...
He slowly withdrew his hand, replaced her towel, and tucked her properly into the covers. Perhaps due to his professional habits, he stuffed Shen Shuci into the blanket so tightly that it was airtight all around, revealing only her head. It was incredibly hot, so she raised her hand and directly tore open the blanket...
Her clothes had already been messed up quite a bit; a few buttons at the neckline were undone, revealing a section of her pale shoulder as she twisted uncomfortably, which made his eyes warm.
The man stood at the head of the bed and pinched the center of his eyebrows, feeling oppressed in his chest.
His throat felt dry and parched, unspeakably irritable.
He even began to consider whether or not to be a gentleman.
After hesitating for half a minute, he bent down, covered her with the blanket again, and whispered softly, "You really have no guard against me. If you encountered someone like Manager Fan, I wonder what you would do..."
"Um—" Shen Shuci mumbled.
"Don’t drink so much the next time someone urges you to drink," he said to himself, but he had no idea that Shen Shuci muttered belatedly, "You are not him..."
The response of a drunk was always a beat slow.
"What did you say?"
"You are a good person."
The man chuckled softly. This was the first time in his life that he had been given a "good person" card. None of his colleagues or friends, including Jiang Jinsang, had ever said he was a good person. This description was indeed fresh.
"Aren’t you afraid I might do something to you?"
Shen Shuci shook her head.
Seconds passed before he leaned in closer to her and whispered softly, "Shen Shuci—"
"Hmm?"
"Do you know who I am?"
His voice was low and hoarse, tickling her ear, making Shen Shuci feel both itchy and hot, and she furrowed her brows slightly.
Seeing her silent for a long time, the man got up, pulled the curtains closed, and in the corner of his eye, he saw a photo on the table, knocked it over casually, turned off the lamp for her, and prepared to leave.
In the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a watch by the doorway, picked it up to look at it, she had even taken the effort to put it in a box, he muttered lowly to himself, and was about to leave with the watch when he heard a low whisper from inside:
"Huo Qinqi..."
His fingers paused for several seconds before he finally closed the door and left.
The Huo Family thought he wouldn’t be coming home tonight. Seeing him coming out of the building, they were slightly surprised, but it seemed his mood was rather good, so they boldly prepared to ask him a few more questions.
"Sir, you and Miss Shen are—"
He didn’t make a sound, just gave them a cold look.
Qi Zeyan thought he wasn’t coming back tonight because he had been gone for so long. Bored and having had some alcohol, he had dragged a few people into the living room to play Fight the Landlord, and suddenly hearing a car outside, he almost fell off the sofa in fright...
"Quick, put away the cards."
Like students doing something naughty in class and getting caught by the teacher.
When the man entered the house and smelled the lingering scent of alcohol in the living room, his gaze swept sharply over, seeing several people looking guilty, clearly up to no good. But his mood was good today, so he didn’t make a fuss, glanced at Qi Zeyan, "Go to bed early."
Qi Zeyan frowned: What’s going on? Changed character?

The next day
Shen Shuci was awoken by the ringtone of her mobile phone, groggily answering the call.
"Auntie? What are you doing? I called you several times but you didn’t answer. Tang Wan and I are already on our way to your place, we’ll be there in half an hour, get ready."
Shen Shuci hung up the phone, only then did snippets from last night start flooding into her mind. But at this moment, she wasn’t in the mood to think too much because Tang Wan and Jiang Jinsang were about to arrive...
