The next two days seemed calm and peaceful.
Lin Wan Bai carried the documents back to the desk and took out the phone from the drawer. There were two missed calls from the same person.
She thought about it, but instead of dialing back, she edited a text: Is there anything I can do for you?
The moment he sent it over, he received a call.
Lin Wan Bai's fingertips were numb from the shock, and she hurriedly picked them up. "Hello?"
"At work?" Huo Chang Yuan's calm voice came out.
"Yes, the meeting just ended …"
"I'm reviewing papers."
"Oh …"
Lin Wan Bai bit her lips. She didn't understand why he was calling, it seemed like he didn't have any important points.
Huo Chang Yuan's calm voice continued, "I'm heading home from work, what about you?"
"I'm going to accompany the Leader to dinner."
"With your department's Supervisor Chen?"
"Yes."
"Where is it?"
Lin Wan Bai gave him an address, but did not say anything else, and replied: I'm hanging up, I have a video conference here.
And then he just left.
Lin Wan Bai looked at the screen of his phone speechlessly. He still didn't understand the reason for his call, but it was as if they were lovers who were often on the phone and could get to know each other's whereabouts.
Just as he put his phone back in the drawer, a colleague beside him came over to gossip, "Xiaobai, is this your boyfriend?"
"That's not it!" Lin Wan Bai shook his head.
"It would be weird if I believe you, but look at how you answer every single question like a little wife!" If that's not the case, then there's definitely something fishy going on! " His colleague curled his lips.
Lin Wan Bai was both embarrassed and helpless, "How could I …"
Her colleague was still muttering about his disbelief as he returned to his seat to continue his work. She couldn't help but look at herself in the mirror beside him and shake her head.
After work in the evening, Lin Wan Bai packed up his stuff and directly went to meet the supervisor for lunch.
Just like the previous two times, he asked her to help him serve the dining table and pour the wine. When he returned, he couldn't help but say, "Supervisor, it seems like your cell phone is ringing!"
"Oh, really?" Hearing that, the director took out his cell phone from his jacket.
Approaching closer, Lin Wan Bai could vaguely see the words "Hutong" on the screen.
The supervisor apologized to the table and went to the window to pick it up. He seemed to look back at her.
Not long after he answered the phone, the supervisor said that he had to go to the washroom. When he came back, his expression looked painful.
Lin Wan Bai quickly went over and asked, "Manager, are you alright?"
"Not so good." The supervisor shook his head, his eyebrows furrowed tightly and his tone became serious, "Xiao Lin, my gastritis has committed an offense. I might need your help later!"
Lin Wan Bai bit his lips and looked at the table.
Tonight, they were all entertaining the important leaders of the government departments. Everyone had a lot of authority in their hands and their words had a lot of weight. They could not afford to offend any of them, so after some hesitation, she could only nod her head.
Throughout the entire night, the wine cups in front of Lin Wan Bai were filled with liquids.
In the end, she almost couldn't remember how many cups she had drunk. She only knew that when she sat down, her hands would rest on the edge of the table.
He didn't know how long this state had been going on, but he could vaguely hear the supervisor pat her on the shoulder, "Little Lin, it's over!"
"..." Is it over? " Lin Wan Bai was groggy, but he was relieved.
The cold wind blew through the doors of the restaurant late in the autumn of the north. As the wind blew in, not only did Lin Wan Bai feel cold, even the alcohol he tried to suppress also seemed to be going "whoosh" towards his head.
He forced himself to accompany the supervisor as they sent off each of the leaders. In his line of sight, he could faintly see a white Land Rover driving over.
At first, he did not pay much attention to it, but when the tall and big figure got closer, Lin Wan Bai was surprised when he saw it clearly, "Err … Why are you here? "
"It's along the way." Huo Chang Yuan replied indifferently.
Lin Wan Bai was confused. What a coincidence!
Huo Chang Yuan opened the passenger door and said to her, "Come, let's go back."
Lin Wan Bai turned to look at him. The supervisor had ran off somewhere and nodded, "Oh …"
The Land Rover didn't travel at a very fast speed. It traveled very steadily through the night.
After Lin Wan Bai got on the carriage, he sat next to the door and placed one hand between his eyebrows. He rubbed it hard, as if he was trying to dispel the drunkenness.
Huo Chang Yuan glanced at her, "You drank too much?"
"A little bit …" Lin Wan Bai nodded honestly.
"It's very uncomfortable?" Huo Chang Yuan asked again.
"Still okay …" Lin Wan Bai's breath was filled with the hot smell of alcohol.
His stomach didn't feel as uncomfortable as having overturned rivers and seas, except that his head was very dizzy and his temples felt painful. He didn't dare to look outside the window and felt as if a bunch of neon lights were flying in the air.
With that, she closed her eyes for the time being.
When the car died, she opened it, held it up for a long time, and saw that she was home.
He pushed open the door of the passenger seat. The foot that stepped on the ground felt like it was stepping on cotton.
Beside her, there was a stable force supporting her.
Lin Wan Bai raised his head. What he saw were his sharp and clear facial features, and those pair of deep and calm eyes in particular, seemed to be like the night sky behind him.
There was no strength beneath his feet, so his tongue was tied. "Thank you …"
At this moment, she was completely unsteady. The alcohol that rushed up to her made her brain become more and more cloudy. She did not realize that her entire weight was leaning on him, allowing him to take advantage of her in such a way.
Huo Chang Yuan lowered his eyebrows, and an arm quietly wrapped around her waist.
A deep light flashed in his eyes, the strength in his hands tightened, and his calm voice was blown by the night wind into his ears, "Is it because I can't stand stably with my legs weak? I'll carry you up. "
With that, he carried her in his arms.
Lin Wan Bai's dizziness was really too strong, even a double image appeared in front of his eyes, he didn't have the strength to struggle at all. In a daze, he leaned on's shoulder and said to him again, "Thank you …"
As his feet landed on each floor, the sensing lights lit up.
Huo Chang Yuan did not stop in the middle of the air, as he hugged her tightly.
As Lin Wan Bai breathed, besides the smell of alcohol, there was also the smell of his masculinity that lingered around the tip of his nose. Smelling it, he felt like he was even more drunk, to the point that when he reached the top floor, he did not even notice the person opposite him.
The door creaked open and closed.
Her back fell onto the soft bed, and under the influence of the alcohol, she felt the world spinning around her.
Subconsciously, his hand grabbed onto Huo Chang Yuan's shirt in front of his chest.
Perhaps due to the excessive force, two buttons on the front of the shirt were ripped apart, revealing a large bronze colored skin. The pectoral muscles were faintly discernible.
Huo Chang Yuan raised his eyebrow, and held her hands back in panic, "What, you want to rob around when you're drunk?"
