Xing Su was worried and checked it a few more times before she gradually heaved a sigh of relief.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Then, a middle-aged woman’s voice sounded. “Miss Xing, are you awake?”

Xing Su stared at the door in fear for a moment before answering in a hoarse voice, “I, I’m awake.”

The door was pushed open from the outside and an auntie in her fifties walked in. Xing Su looked at her in a daze. The auntie was not tall and was slightly chubby. She even had an apron on her chest and looked neat and tidy. She held the dress that Xing Su had worn last night with both hands and said with a smile, “Miss Xing, I’ve already washed the clothes you took off last night. You can change into them first. Oh, and breakfast is ready.”

Xing Su took the dress and hesitated for a moment before asking, “Auntie, who helped me change my clothes last night?”

The middle-aged woman was stunned. “Didn’t you change it yourself?”

Xing Su: “…”

After changing her clothes, Xing Su came out of the bedroom. Although she had lived a good life since she was young and had seen a lot of things, she was still shocked by the design of this house.

Jiang Wenrui was already walking in front of the dining table. Xing Su stopped in her tracks, confusion flashing through her mind. Why was he here?

When Jiang Wenrui heard footsteps, he turned his head and said with a distant expression, “What are you standing there for? Come and eat.”

Xing Su felt inexplicably awkward. The scattered memory from last night slowly surfaced with Jiang Wenrui’s voice. Although it was not complete, she had pieced it together. She seemed to have lost her temper because she did not eat the egg yolk pastry. Then, Uncle Xiao Rui appeared, and she seemed to have made a fuss… She could not remember what happened after that.

Xing Su sat down awkwardly and tried to find something to talk about. “This is your house? Your taste is not bad…”

Jiang Wenrui: “It’s the company’s.”

Xing Su: “…Oh.”

Jiang Wenrui looked at her. “I’ll get someone to send you back after breakfast. I’ll keep what happened last night a secret from Old Chief Xing, but the fact is still that you didn’t go back home last night. How do you want to explain it to Old Chief Xing?”

Xing Su was a little confused, but it was obvious that Jiang Wenrui did not intend to explain it to her in detail. Her gaze landed on the dining table, and Xing Su was surprised to find a box of egg yolk pastries on it. She reached out to take a piece. It was still warm…

Xing Su carefully looked up. “I don’t have good alcohol tolerance. Last night… I didn’t do anything I shouldn’t have, did I?”

Jiang Wenrui stopped drinking his coffee and finally raised his head to look at Xing Su. However, he did not say anything. He just finished the coffee in his cup and stood up to leave.

Xing Su: “…” She felt that she was done for. From Uncle Xiao Rui’s behavior, it was obvious that she had not done anything good!

Xing Su finished her breakfast tastelessly. Jiang Wenrui also changed his clothes and waited for her to go out together. Xing Su looked at the auntie who was about to pour her milk and quickly stopped her. “Auntie, there’s no need. Thank you. I’m already full.” After saying that, she stood up from the dining table and stood in front of Jiang Wenrui. “Uncle Xiao Rui, thank you for helping me again. I don’t know how to thank you. You can go to work. I can go back by myself.”

“Don’t call me uncle.” Jiang Wenrui’s expression turned even uglier.

Xing Su could not understand how she had provoked this person last night. His expression had been strange since this morning. However, she quickly smiled and said, “Okay, since Grandpa said that you’re not much older than me, then I’ll call you Brother Xiao Rui from now on?”

No matter how good Jiang Wenrui’s self-restraint was, he had to surrender in front of Xing Su! He ignored Xing Su and pushed the door open alone. When Xing Su left, she did not forget to wave goodbye to the auntie. The auntie sent the two of them to the door with a smile.

After the two of them got into the elevator, the auntie jogged to the living room and picked up her phone to make a call. “Matriarch, I have good news for you. CEO Jiang brought a woman back last night. Yes… Yes, of course it’s true… That Miss Xing is so beautiful. She’s even wearing CEO Jiang’s shirt. I even saw CEO Jiang’s eyes looking tired… Aiyo, two young people. They don’t know how to control themselves…” As she spoke, the auntie’s lips were about to fly into the sky.

Jiang Wenrui did not ask the chauffeur to come over. Instead, he drove himself. It was a blue SUV with a medium price, which suited Xing Su’s impression of Brother Xiao Rui as a wage earner.

Xing Su sat in the car, still thinking about how she had stumbled into Brother Xiao Rui’s house last night…
