âGood!â Du Ruo agreed readily.
Jin Chen was speechless.
Ji Yu said to him across the table, ââDonât be like this. The leader is just concerned about you! Itâs not good for your health to drink so much. We still have to go to work tomorrow. If weâre dizzy, itâll delay our work.â
âI can hold my liquor very well. Itâs not a problem for one person to kill two catties.â Du Ruo didnât listen to him at all.
Since she had said so, Ji Yu didnât say anything else.
He and Jin Chen had similar personalities. Both of them were people of few words.
Du Ruo was drinking with a few male doctors while she was still thinking if Jin Chen would try to dissuade her later.
Unexpectedly, Jin Chen ignored her completely. Instead, he lowered his head and silently ate the hotpot.
He ate very quickly. This was a habit he had developed over the years.
After putting down his chopsticks, he walked to the restaurantâs cashier and spoke to the hotel staff before picking up the phone to make a call.
Du Ruo drank a little too much and felt a little suffocated. When she went to the bathroom, she heard Jin Chen talking to his family on the phone.
Seeing the gentle way he spoke and listening to the content of the conversation, she knew that he was talking to his wife.
âIâm almost done eating. My colleagues are still having fun, but I canât wait to go home and see you.â
âBaby, how is it? Were you obedient today?â
âHa, what a naughty fellow. It must be tough, right? Why donât you sleep earlyâ¦â
âDonât come and pick me up! Iâm worried about you â¦â
Jin Chen was extremely gentle to his wife, which made her extremely envious.
Du Ruo couldnât help but ask herself, What are you doing? Do you really want to tear down their family?â
She knew that it was immoral to do so. My damn charm as a man made her fall for me at all timesâ¦
When Jin Chen was almost done with the call, Du Ruo hurriedly left the place and ran to the toilet.
..
Su Hanyan knew that Du Ruo was among the guests at the party today, so she wanted to see how this girl would pester Jin Chen.
So, Su Hanyan calculated that it was about time for her to leave. She took her car keys and left.
Jin Chen didnât know that she was here. He figured that everyone had almost finished eating. He paid the bill, said goodbye, and left.
Du Ruoâs face was flushed red from drinking. When she heard that Jin Chen was leaving, she staggered out and chased after him.âJin Chen, Mr. Jin, can you bring me back with you? Weâre on the way!â
Jin Chen looked at her drunken appearance and did not care much about her.âDid I remind you before you drank?â
Du Ruo smiled at him,âI can hold my liquorâ¦â She only drank a littleâ¦Actually, Iâm not drunk at all ⦠I want to go back with you. Can you send me home?â
âNot good.â Jin Chen refused. â I told you, I have a family. Donât pester me anymore. â
âYouâre too stingy. Thereâs only one woman in your eyesâ¦Do you know how big the world is? Other than her, there were many wonderful things? Other than her, there are also many beautiful people?â
As Du Ruo spoke, she couldnât even open her eyes. Her entire body swayed, and she could fall at any moment.
Jin Chen was worried that she would fall, but he did not dare to help her up. A woman like her was always troublesome!
â Wait here for a moment. Iâll get Ji Yu to send you back. â Jin Chen said.
