Xu Zhuo An frowned, his eyes squinting as he saw the annoyance on the woman's delicate face. He reached out his hand and touched it. His voice was hoarse with the dullness of alcohol. "Yun Xiao?"
He had thought that he had drank too much just now, and seeing that the woman was about to leave, he pulled at her in a moment of desperation. Now that he was sure that the stain was unmistakable, he instantly felt much better and carefully caressed her soft face, trapping her in his arms, "Why are you here?"
Yun Xiao frowned and struggled for a while, but the man's strength was too much, so he could only give up. He placed his head on Yun Xiao's shoulder and said, "I just want to come over to see if someone is dead or not."
Xu Zhuo An laughed softly. He knew that Yun Xiao was good at everything, but his mouth was extremely stubborn.
"Care about me?"
Yun Xiao frowned and did not say anything.
The manager had just finished cooking the sobering tea when he brought it in. He did not expect to see such a scene, so he said awkwardly, "Boss, you're awake? This is your sobering tea. "
Yun Caizhi struggled out when he was relaxing. He pursed his lips and smiled, "Thank you."
The manager was a tactful person, so he nodded and left. He even considerately closed the door to the room.
Within the spacious room, the aroma of the wine was floating in the air. Yun Xiao kept his face scrunched up and passed the cup to him, "Drink some."
Xu Zhuo An glanced at her, but from beginning to end, she had no intention of taking it.
After a moment of stalemate, Yun Xiao's tone finally softened. He sat down beside him and looked into the man's eyes with a complicated expression. "You've drunk too much wine. I asked the manager to cook this for you. Otherwise, you'll feel uncomfortable tomorrow."
"You're worried about me, aren't you?" As if he wanted her to personally say the answer, Xu Zhuo An asked again.
Yun Xiao knew that he wouldn't drink if she didn't answer him. He lightly nodded his head, this man was actually very stubborn.
Only now did Xu Zhuo An receive the teacup that was stuck in midair, then he lowered his head and blew out the fragrant heat, then he said indifferently, "Yun Xiao, no matter what you're hiding from me, if you don't want to say it, I don't want to ask either." He paused for a moment before continuing, "But, don't say the word 'breakup' to me anymore."
Originally, a while ago, he felt that something was very wrong with Yun Ran. He didn't say anything even if he asked her. After they quarreled, Yun Ran directly said she would break up.
He wanted to vent his anger. Although he hadn't been with Yun Xiao for long, he knew that some people were destined to spend tens of thousands of years in a single glance and would never let go.
Yun Xiao looked at the man's handsome face in a daze, and spoke with an obscure voice, "Zhuo An … "I …" Sometimes, she also thought about whether or not she should stay by this man's side. She was a person who couldn't even determine her own future, so she simply didn't have the qualifications to provoke this man.
More importantly, he had a fiancee, so he was like Little San. She hated Little San the most in her life, and when Gao Jinshan had married a new woman and entered the house, she had actually hated him.
After all, his mother loved him so much, but he brought that woman back not long after her mother died. He also had a sister who was a few years older than her, meaning that Gao Jinshan had raised women outside a few years ago.
For a split-second, the father she liked and respected made her feel disgusted.
Reminiscences were always unbearable to look back on. Yun Xiao's expression sank, and when he looked at Xu Zhuo An he was a little irritated. "It's impossible for us to be together."
Hearing this, Xu Zhuang An threw the teacup onto the carpet with a 'bang'. The tea flowed out from the quilt and soaked on the carpet, leaving behind a watermark. The man's face had an unspeakable gloominess and chilliness. "Why do you think that?"
Yun Xiao jumped in fright, stabilizing the chaos in her heart. She took a shallow breath and asked, "Why did you provoke me when you have a fiancee?" Originally, she didn't plan to ask, but she opened her mouth and directly asked. After saying that, she raised her eyebrows and became extremely annoyed.
Xu Zhuang An was stone-cold to the side, then coldly said, "Who told you that?" He had originally wanted to find a chance to tell her about this. Moreover, the last time he was going to tell her about it was when they were in the middle of a cold war.
"No one told me." She looked at the man beside her and said softly, "I accidentally picked up your phone when I was holding your phone for you last time. Sorry." That morning, Xu Zhuo An forgot to bring her phone when she went out. She had to deliver it to the crew, but she received a call from her fiancee. At that time, she was shocked and never thought that he was his fiancee.
But now that he thought about it, a man like him, with such a family background, must have long been engaged to be married within the family.
Xu Zhuo An's brows sank, and her gaze became sinister as she said indifferently, "I don't like her." As if afraid that she would not believe her, she shook her hand, her burning gaze abnormally serious. "Tomorrow, I will bring you back to the Xu family. I will cancel this engagement, and I will marry you."
Yun Xiao bit his red lips. He was shocked by the seriousness in his gaze. His eyes became unsteady. "Zhuo An, I …" Before he could finish, he was blocked by the man's finger.
"Yun Xiao, don't refuse." In the next second, he kissed her lips with gentleness and care. That delicate kiss made her soften instantly.
She reached back and hugged the man's broad chest.
Let her indulge once.
Just when Yun Xiao thought he would be suffocated by a man's kiss, Xu Zhuo An let her go. Yun Xiao's face was rosy and the clouds were soft. "I'll get someone to make you another bowl of sobering wine and tea."
Xu Zhuo An nodded and stretched out a hand to support his forehead. It seemed that wine was not a bad thing, and the corner of his mouth unconsciously curled up.
Liao Jinyao carried Qiao Ran into the car. She asked worriedly, "Are you just going to let him lie in the box like that?" At the very least, he should have brought her into the lounge. Wasn't she a good brother?
Liao Jinyao cast her a sidelong glance, "He doesn't need you to worry." There were so many employees in the bar. What could happen if he called his woman?
Not long later, the car stopped at the villa in Jing County. Liao Jinyao carried Qiao Ran upstairs. By this time, Mo Wuji's mother had already returned home, so there was only the two of them in the villa.
After kicking open the door, he directly put the woman in his arms on the bed and pressed her down. A kiss with a burning smell covered her entire body, and the faint taste of alcohol lingered in her mouth.
Qiao Ran panted heavily while looking at the handsome young man who was just inches away from her. With a charming voice, she asked, "How much wine have you drank?"
"I'm not drunk."
When he started to untie the rope tied to her chest, Qiao Ran suddenly tensed up. He reached out his hand to touch the man's hand and said unsteadily, "Jin Yao, I haven't taken a bath yet."
The man stared at her with burning eyes for a few seconds, his thin lips curled up. "I don't mind your dirt."
"No, I'm not used to it," she said, embarrassed. It wasn't that she was being hypocritical. More importantly, she was still nervous.
Hearing her words, Liao Jinyao got up and casually took off the buttons on his shirt before taking off his shirt.
Qiao Ran's eyes were wide open as he couldn't even speak properly, "What are you doing?"
The man stood by the bed and lightly said, "Aren't you going to take a bath? "Let's bathe together." In the next second, he also took off his pants.
The woman was stunned. She quickly got up and entered the bathroom. Then, she heard the sound of a lock being locked.
Liao Jinyao looked at the tightly shut door with a narrow glint in her eyes. She couldn't help but laugh. It didn't matter since she hadn't brought a change of clothes, it wouldn't be too late for her to enter.
Qiao Ran's face was completely red. She raised her head and looked at herself in the mirror. If it was the previous her, she would have already pounced on her when she heard her words. But now, no matter what, she could not accept it.
When she finished her shower, she realized that she had forgotten to bring a nightgown when she came in.
Because after every bath, Ma Mo would clean up and leave it in the closet outside.
Wrapped in a towel, she opened the door and stuck her head out as she quietly called out, "Jin Yao." However, there was no response from the room. She clenched her teeth and walked towards the cabinet. She took out a robe from the closet and put it on. She first went to the balcony to find that there was no one there, then went back to open the door.
Liao Jinyao was wearing a nightgown as he sat on the sofa downstairs. Opposite him was a young man that Qiao Ran recognized as Zhou Manni's assistant.
The assistant, Arlin, looked at the handsome and reserved man in front of him, lowered his head, and carefully opened his mouth, "Director Liao, I'm asking you to help sister Manny. Ever since she was banned, she hasn't received a single movie, tonight …" His eyes were red as he said hoarsely, "She committed suicide at night."
Hearing that, the man's eyes swept across him indifferently, "Why are you looking for me to commit suicide?"
"I told her, but she said she couldn't see that you were adamant about not going to the hospital."
Qiao Ran frowned. At first, he was surprised for a moment, but then he recovered his indifferent expression and returned to his room.
When Liao Jinyao came in, he saw the woman leaning on the bed, reading a sketchbook. When he came in, Qiao Ran smiled gently and said, "Go take a bath."
The man put her hands on her sides and said in a low voice, "Sleep first, I'm going out to do something." After all, she was a woman that had been by her side for a few years. Although she didn't have any feelings, she was still a life after all.
It seemed that the reason she had gone this extreme was because she had truly been pressured to the extreme.
Qiao Ran put her arms around his neck and coquettishly said, "No, you sleep with me." He took the initiative to place his lips against the man's, carrying a rare smile on his face as he acted like a spoiled child.
Liao Jin narrowed her eyes and looked at her fair face. She deepened the kiss and said softly, "Then should I make a call?"
She nodded but didn't let go of the man's neck. Liao Jinyao dialed Wenna's number and hung up after a few words. He stared at her with his deep eyes and said with a smile, "Satisfied?"
