Chapter 121 - Drinking and Getting Drunk

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After returning to the Huo residence, Huo Xuan immediately took out a few bottles of wine and sat in the living room before starting to drink. Xu Huan followed closely behind the man, not daring to take make a sound.

When the third empty bottle of wine appeared in front of him, Xu Huan finally couldn’t hold back anymore. He snatched the wine glass from Huo Xuan’s hand and advised with a worried expression, “Brother Huo, you can’t drink anymore. Your injuries have just healed a little. If you continue to drink like this, not only will it be bad for your wounds, but you won’t be able to stand it either!”

Huo Xuan waved his hand lightly and shook his head. He glared at Xu Huan as if he was blaming him for being a busybody. The man rejected him with an unfriendly tone, “It’s none of your business. Give me back the wine!”

“No! Brother Huo! Even if you don’t care about the wound this time, you have to think about the poison in your body, right? If you continue to be so willful, even the gods won’t be able to cure you!” Xu Huan frowned and hugged the bottle tightly, refusing to let go.

When he thought of the poison in his body, Huo Xuan couldn’t help but sigh. He sat motionlessly on the leather sofa in the living room with his head slightly lowered, looking a little lonely.

Seeing that the man was not in a good mood, Xu Huan understood what had happened. Now, the only person who could affect Huo Xuan and make him so uneasy was Mo Zhu.

Although Xu Huan wasn’t too sure about the relationship between Mo Zhu and Feng Yu, naturally Xu Huan knew what Huo Xuan thought of. Putting blood relations aside, the relationship between the two of them was obvious.

In fact, he could understand what Huo Xuan was thinking. He had a slight understanding of the relationship between Feng Yu and Huo Xuan previously. If Mo Zhu really had something going on with Feng Yu, he couldn’t imagine how great a blow this would be to Huo Xuan.

“What time is it?” Huo Xuan leaned back against the sofa in low spirits. His head was still lowered, and his voice was low.

Seeing that the man had taken the initiative to talk to him, Xu Huan quickly took out his phone from his pocket and looked at it. “It’s almost twelve.”

Nodding, Huo Xuan stood up and prepared to go upstairs to rest. Before he ascended the stairs, he turned around and instructed Xu Huan, “It’s getting late, you should quickly go back and rest. There’s nothing else here.”

After saying this, Huo Xuan went straight back to his room and closed the door. After making sure that he didn’t drink anymore and that his mood was a little more stable, Xu Huan went to the kitchen and made a glass of lemon water before placing it on the table in the living room. Then, he left the Huo residence.

At three in the morning, Mo Zhu had finally completed the acupuncture treatment for Feng Yu after spending a lot of energy and effort. She heaved a long sigh of relief and instructed Mo Jiu to stay and take care of him. She tidied up briefly and stood up to return to the Huo family.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the door of the Huo residence, she was met with an overwhelming stench of alcohol, causing Mo Zhu to cover her nose and take a few steps back.

Pinching the tip of her nose gently, Mo Zhu walked to the living room quickly, wanting to get a glass of water. She was indeed a little thirsty after being busy the entire night.

Just as she stepped into the house, the girl’s sharp eyes noticed the bunch of wine bottles and faint wine stains on the coffee table.

Seeing this, Mo Zhu shook her head lightly. She took a few steps forward and quickly tidied up the mess in front of her. She started thinking to herself, looks like Huo Xuan and Xu Huan have been drinking here since they left the hospital.

After tidying up the living room, Mo Zhu poured a glass of water and went straight to her room to shower. After being busy for so long, all she wanted to do now was to take a good shower and have a good sleep.

After a simple shower, Mo Zhu wrapped a towel around her body and left the bathroom. Before she could dry her hair, the door was suddenly opened from the outside.

The person who pushed the door open was Huo Xuan. When he saw Mo Zhu in this state, where she had just taken a shower, he stood quietly outside with a muddled expression. The man who had been tipsy a moment ago had his eyes wide open now. He was obviously completely awake.

Mo Zhu didn’t expect Huo Xuan to push the door open at this moment. She casually picked up a towel and covered her head before asking softly, “What’s wrong? Why are you looking for me at this time?”

At this moment, the skin on Mo Zhu’s entire body that was exposed was white, translucent, and extremely tender. Her legs were slender and straight, and her entire body faintly revealed a faint fragrance.

Huo Xuan’s eyes seemed to be mesmerized by something. He stood rooted to the ground and stared at the girl without blinking.

Seeing that the person outside the door was ignoring her and was just staring at her, Mo Zhu took two steps forward and waved her hand in front of the man. “Come back, come back. Looking at your state, are you drunk?”

After being teased by Mo Zhu, Huo Xuan swallowed slightly. He grabbed the girl’s slender arm and pulled her into his arms. He hugged Mo Zhu and asked, “Why are you back so late?”

Mo Zhu didn’t expect that Huo Xuan wasn’t sleeping and would open her door suddenly in the middle of the night. Now that the man had hugged her, a burning sensation rose on her face. Without even looking, she knew that her face was definitely red beyond words.

Leaning quietly in Huo Xuan’s arms, Mo Zhu smelled the alcohol on the man’s body, which was not thick but was very fragrant. She gently raised her head and blinked craftily. “I just finished giving Feng Yu the acupuncture treatment. As soon as his condition stabilized, I came back. I only came back a few hours later than you..”
