Upon arriving at the club and mentioning Mo Weiyiâs name, Su Wenwen felt a sense of relief when she heard private room and not the main hall.
Thank goodness, she hasnât completely lost her mind.
However, as soon as she pushed open the door and entered the private room, she was hit by a strong smell of alcohol accompanied by blaring electronic music.
As for Mo Weiyi, she was slouched on the sofa, still nursing a bottle of red wineâ¦.
Su Wenwen, with a slight frown, rushed over, snatching the bottle from her hand, âStop drinking!â
The table was littered with open wine bottles, some were half-empty, some only had a sip taken, every single one of them expensive, top-of-the-line.
What a complete waste!
Su Wenwen, out of habit, started to feel a pinch in her heart.
âWenwen, youâre hereâ¦*hic*â¦â Mo Weiyi giggled like a drunk, quickly grabbing another bottle, âHave a drinkâ¦drink with meâ¦â
âYouâre drunk!â
Though Su Wenwen knew that by her own standards, Mo Weiyi hadnât drunk much, but she barely held her liquor and it was clear that she was already intoxicated.
âIâm not drunkâ¦*hic*â¦â
All alcoholics claim they are not drunk.
Su Wenwen once again took the bottle from her hand, âTell me. What has upset you this time?â
Upon hearing that, Mo Weiyi fell silent.
Lowering her head, she looked crestfallen.
Su Wenwen looked at her, puzzled.
âWahâ¦â Mo Weiyi suddenly looked up, started blubbering like a child, âXiaobai⦠Xiaobai, he⦠*hic*â
âI knew it had to be him! How did he upset you this time?â Su Wenwen rolled her eyes provocatively.
She felt like she had been transported back to two years ago. Back then, she hadnât left the country yet and Mo Weiyi was pretty much like she was now, throwing tantrums on a regular basis, often drinking away her sorrows.
The reason was always Xiao Yebai either ignoring her or telling her that he didnât like her and didnât want to be with her.
That man always found the most damaging way to hurt her, but even that didnât stop Mo Weiyi from stubbornly loving him.
Su Wenwen couldnât help but sigh.
She had thought that since theyâd been married for two years now, Mo Weiyi would have finally thawed that manâs icy exterior, but she was wrongâ¦
âWuwuwuwu⦠Wenwen, I feel terrible, Xiaobai⦠Xiaobai he⦠*hic*â¦â Mo Weiyiâs words were disjointed and incoherent, untilâ¦âTian Yeâ¦â
âTian Ye? Does he really have an affair with Tian Ye?â Su Wenwenâs eyes widened in shock, that scumbag!
âXiaobai and her⦠it hurts⦠why is my head hurting so much⦠*hic*â¦â Mo Weiyi began to cry again, clutching her head and groaning in pain.
âThatâs because you drank too much.â Su Wenwen said, while gathering Mo Weiyiâs belongings, and then asked her, âDid you settle the bill?â
Mo Weiyi rubbed her temples, âXiaobai⦠Xiaobai, heâ¦â
Su Wanwan rolled her eyes, quickly hit the service bell.
Soon, a waiter walked in, âMiss.â
âHow much is it in total?â
He looked at his tablet and promptly spit out a number, âOne hundred and eight thousand six hundred.â
ââ¦â Even though she was prepared, Su Wanwan was still taken aback by the amount, âOne million?â
Is it that expensive?
The waiter smiled, âMiss Mo ordered the top-shelf wines, the bottle of champagne alone was ten thousand, the bottle of red wine was eight thousand, and this oneâs seven thousand five hundredâ¦â
âOkay, okay.â Su Wanwan gave up on the protests. She looked over at Mo Weiyi, âWhere is your card?â
Mo Weiyi frowned deeply, â*hic*â¦Wanwan, Xiaobai scolded meâ¦â
Su Wanwan: ââ¦â
She put her backpack down again, took out Mo Weiyiâs wallet, finally found her bank card and handed it to the waiter. He swiped it and then awkwardly said, âIâm sorry, but the balance is insufficient.â
Su Wanwan: ââ¦â
âNo problem.â The waiter said with a smile, âSince itâs Miss Mo, we can put it on your tab.â
Su Wanwan rolled her eyes, âWhy didnât you say so earlier?â
The waiter sheepishly smiled and left.
Su Wanwan reorganized their stuff and prepared to leave, dragging Mo Weiyi along.
Mo Weiyi was over 5 feet, but she barely weighed around a hundred pounds. To Su Wanwan, carrying her was a piece of cake, save for her immediate protests.
âI donât want to go homeâ¦I donât want to go homeâ¦Wanwan, I donât want to go home! Ah⦠I really donât!â
How could this girl protest so fiercely while drunk? Although Su Wanwan considered herself strong, she struggled to deal with the drunk girlâs strength. Soon enough, she was out of breath and nursing a terrible headache, her patience wore thin.
âThen where do you want to go! If you donât say, Iâll throw you out into the street!â
Mo Weiyi pursed her lips and looked at her pitifully, âWanwan, I feel badâ¦Wanwanâ¦â
Her face was flushed red from the alcohol, her eyes welled up with tears, her hair disheveled, whimpering softly, her voice was softly delicateâ¦
Catching sight of Mo Weiyi in this state, Su Wanwanâs heart softened instantly.
âI really canât handle you!â
She hoisted Mo Weiyi up again, âFine, we wonât go home.â
âMmm.â Mo Weiyi obediently got up and let Su Wanwan drag her away.
Su Wanwan wondered, if they didnât go home, where should she take her?
Back to the dormitory? Her bed was rather small, and Mo Weiyi reeked of alcohol. The dorm admin knew her, bringing her back would raise a series of unnecessary questions.
But bringing her to a hotel? Without anyone to take care of her, this picky girl was uncomfortable alone and thereâs no way Su Wanwan could leave her alone.
After pondering, Su Wanwan decided to take her to the Imperial Court.
There, the servants could help look after her.
After struggling to get into a taxi, Mo Weiyi eventually leaned against Su Wanwan, burying her face into Su Wanwanâs shoulder, âWanwan, Iâm feelingâ¦uncomfortable.â
âDriver, to Tianquan Royal Court, number 69.â
Mo Weiyi weakly leaned against her, âIâm uncomfortableâ¦Iâm uncomfortableâ¦â
Su Wanwan patted her shoulder gently, speaking akin to calming a child, âOnce we get home and you sleep, you wonât feel uncomfortable.â
Mo Weiyi promptly started protesting, âNot going home⦠Iâm not going home!â
âWould going to my house work?â
Mo Weiyi hiccupped, âAs long as itâs not home.â
Su Wanwan rolled her eyes again.
Never mind, no use reasoning with a drunk.
**
The Imperial Court villa was brightly lit at this time.
After dinner, Huo Jingshen went to the study to work. Fu Ziyang finished his homework and called KO into the living room, petting the dog while watching an English drama.
Around nine in the evening, Fu Ziyang touched KOâs big head, âIâm going to take a shower and go to bed.â
âArwooo!â KO barked instantly.
At the same time, the door to the study opened, âZiyang, itâs time to take a bath and go to bed.â
âWoof!â Seeing Huo Jingshen, KOâs eyes lit up as he energetically raced towards him, circling around his legs to get attention.
The phone rang at that moment.
Huo Jingshen picked it up and was surprised.
After picking up the call, âHello?â
âHoney.â
Hearing the soft whisper of âHoney,â Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, âDid you make a mistake again?â
Su Wanwan: ââ¦â
âOr is your allowance not enough?â
After a while, the sound of Su Wanwan gritting her teeth in frustration resonated. âCanât you wish me well for once?â
âHa.â Huo Jingshen smirked and asked her, âSo, youâre saying you miss me?â
Su Wanwan cleared her throat, âUh, Iâll be home in a moment.â
âReturning home tonight?â Huo Jingshen was even more surprised. The young girl was actually taking the initiative to return home?
The next second.
âBut Iâm bringing Weiyi with me.â
Almost instantaneously, KO witnessed his masterâs pleasant and tender face instantly turn cold.
âFor what?â the man frowned.
âShe is drunk,â Su Wanwan explained, and then a sound of a woman drunkenly mumbling could be heard from the receiver.
Huo Jingshenâs face darkened even more, âIf sheâs drunk, she should be sent home.â
âShe had a fight with Xiaobai and refuses to go back.â
âThen send her to a hotel.â
âNo one will be able to care for her at the hotel. Plus, Iâm worried, and I did not bring my wallet.â
Huo Jingshen: ââ¦â
âI gotta go; Iâm almost home. Ask Aunt Yang to make some sobering-up tea, and change the bedding in the guestroom. Donât forget to add two more quilts. Gotta hang up.â Without waiting for Huo Jingshenâs response, the call ended.
KO, watching him with his head tilted and a cute expression on his dog-face, suddenlyâ¦
âGo back to your dog house! Your mom is coming home!â
KO: ââ¦â
He had no choice but to sadly leave the warmth of the mansion.
Life as a dog is too hard.
After instructing the dog, Huo Jingshen then turned to the kid, âGo upstairs, take a bath and sleep!â
Fu Ziyang: ââ¦okay.â
It was odd to see Uncle Huo unhappy about Aunt Wanwanâs rare homecoming.
With the kid and dog gone, Huo Jingshen resigned himself to preparing the guest room.
**
Ten minutes later, Su Wanwan arrived as promised, dragging along a female drunkard.
Huo Jingshenâs face looked very unhappy. Especially when he saw Mo Weiyi with messy hair, crying with red, swollen eyes, and a red nose. Her makeup was all smudgedâshe was a mess!
With the smell of alcohol surrounding her and murmuring drunken nonsense, Huo Jingshenâs face darkened even more.
Better off not seeing her.
He closed the door, and was just about to turn away.
âHusband, whereâs Aunt Yang? Ask her to help me out quickly.â
âShe took the day off.â
âWell, then you help me. Iâm exhausted.â Su Wanwan pleaded.
âHow?â Huo Jingshen crossed his arms, being all nonchalant. âShould your husband carry her, orâ¦carry her like a princess?â
Su Wanwanâs mouth twitched. Does he really need to be so suggestive?
âIâm worried youâd take advantage of her!â
Huo Jingshen: ââ¦â
âCanât you just help support her arm?â
Huo Jingshen squinted at her, then looked disdainfully at the female drunkard.
With a shift in his brows, he finally reached out.
As soon as Su Wanwan let go, he grabbed Mo Weiyiâs collar from behind, held her up like a little rabbit, and promptly headed to the guest room on the first floor.
His movements were swift, carrying her by the collar inevitably chokes her. Mo Weiyi started to complain because she was uncomfortable.
Su Wanwan reacted with alarm, quickly followed them, âBe gentle, canât you be gentle?â
But Huo Jingshen acted as if he didnât hear her, went straight into the guest room, and threw the female drunkard onto the big bed.
With a âplopâ, it was rough and brutal!
Unbelievable!
Su Wanwan, angered, gave him a push, then hurried to Weiyiâs side, âWeiyi, are you alright?â
Mo Weiyi lay on the freshly made bed, clutching her collar, and groaned, âIâm uncomfortableâ¦â
Su Wanwan quickly checked her; Mo Weiyiâs neck was indeed a bit red.
She glared at Huo Jingshen, then started to soothe Weiyi in a low, gentle voice.
Huo Jingshen squinted at thisâ¦
He wasnât pleased.
Why isnât this girl this gentle with him?
Mo Weiyi shook her head, starting to complain again, âHeadacheâ¦â
Su Wanwan immediately turned to ask, âWhereâs the sobering-up tea?â
Huo Jingshen cross his arms, âThere is none.â
âDidnât I call you earlier to prepare it?â
âI told you that Aunt Yang had called in sick.â
âThen you go and boil it.â
Huo Jingshen turned black-faced: ââ¦â
âQuickly go!â Su Wanwan acted impatiently.
Huo Jingshen continued with his dark face: ââ¦â
âI feel terrible⦠Wanwan⦠whaahhâ¦â Mo Weiyi started crying.
Su Wanwan hurriedly got up, âYou go and prepare the sobering-up tea.â
Seeing he still wasnât moving, Su Wanwan reluctantly got up, âI have to take care of her here, could you please help me? Thanks, husband. Youâre a lifesaver.â
With a sweet voice, âThank you, husband.â
Looking at her pleasing appearance, Huo Jingshenâs facial features softened slightly. His brows moved a bit, and finally, he turned to leave.
Su Wanwan let out a sigh, and rolled her eyes.
Itâs really something. They are all like children who need her to coax them!
Before she could finish sighingâ¦
âWanwanâ¦â
âIâm here, Iâm here.â Su Wanwan quickly turned back.
**
With the maid absent, it was Su Wanwanâs responsibility to look after Mo Weiyi. Huo Jingshen was a man and doing so would be inappropriate. After preparing the sobering-up tea for Mo Weiyi, he left.
â¦
Second-floor bedroom.
About an hour later, Su Wanwan opened the bedroom door.
Huo Jingshen stood and immediately came up to hold herâ¦
âI need to get my nightclothes to take a bath.â Su Wanwan pushed him away.
âThereâs no need.â Huo Jingshen pinched her soft chin and spoke in a deep voice, âWait until afterwards to take a bath.â
âYou dimwit!â Su Wanwan turned her face away, âIâll stay downstairs with Weiyi tonight.â
Huo Jingshenâs face once again turned completely gloomy.
