Ling Nuan didn't seem to care about Li Jin's appearance at all.
She returned to the bar.
Seeing Ling Nuan coming back, Huo Linsheng motioned to the seat beside him. Before he could say a word, Xu Shichen beside him hurriedly spoke up.
"Is she okay?" Xu Shichen asked.
Ling Nuan originally thought that Huo Qishu had a one - sided love, but seeing Xu Shichen's appearance, she suddenly became interested.
"You're concerned about her?" Ling Nuan didn't answer but asked instead.
Xu Shichen felt a bit embarrassed and replied, "After all, I've taken care of that little girl for so long. It's not strange for me to be concerned, is it?"
"Strange." Ling Nuan didn't hold back at all. "You know she likes you. If you don't want her to get in deeper, you should keep your distance from her. If you like her too, you shouldn't keep rejecting her."
Xu Shichen felt a bit guilty.
"She's so young. What does she know about love? She just mistakes family affection for love." Xu Shichen said.
Ling Nuan let out a laugh.
"Although she's young, I think maybe she understands what love is better than we do. People of her age have simple minds. Love is just love. Unlike us, we have to consider all sorts of things even for a bit of affection." Ling Nuan said meaningfully.
Xu Shichen: "..."
Not being able to argue, he directly shifted his attention and looked at Huo Linsheng. "Linsheng, she's targeting you."
"We're fine." Huo Linsheng replied. "You'd better care more about yourself."
Ling Nuan reminded on the side, "Don't wait until it's really over and then regret it. Once a person's heart is hurt, it's not so easy to mend."
Reconciliation?
It's a low - probability event.
Xu Shichen was a bit annoyed by what they said. He directly poured a glass of wine and put it in front of Ling Nuan. "Sis, I'll call you sis. I'll treat you to a drink. Please let me off."
Ling Nuan smiled, took the glass of wine, and casually let the matter go as if it were a joke.
After all, matters of the heart depend on the two people involved. No matter how much they outsiders say, it's useless.
Just like her. Before she agreed to be with Huo Linsheng, wasn't she extremely awkward?
I don't know if it was because of Huo Qishu's matter that made Xu Shichen in a bad mood. He drank quite a lot that night. He not only drank by himself but also dragged Huo Linsheng and Fu Qili to drink. Even Ling Nuan didn't escape his clutches.
By the end, the only ones still sober on the scene were probably Ling Nuan and half - sober Huo Linsheng.
Fu Qili was already drunk and passed out.
Xu Shichen was lying on the sofa, still raising his hand constantly. "Drink! Cheers!"
Ling Nuan couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Regardless of whether they're rich or handsome, when people get drunk and act crazy, they're all the same. God is really fair in this regard.
She then looked at Huo Linsheng.
Huo Linsheng still maintained a bit of sobriety. He was lying on the sofa at the moment, pinching the bridge of his nose, obviously feeling very uncomfortable.
"How are you?" Ling Nuan asked with concern and then complained. "If he wants to drink, just let him. Why did you drink so much with him?"
Huo Linsheng was also a bit drunk. His reaction was a bit slow. He stared at Ling Nuan for a while before he recognized who was in front of him.
He reached out and pulled her into his arms.
Although he was drunk, his strength was still quite large.
Ling Nuan wasn't prepared and was dragged into his arms.
"Nuan Nuan." Huo Linsheng called her name.
Ling Nuan pushed him away a bit unhappily. "Don't call me. You smell like alcohol. It stinks."
Huo Linsheng wasn't angry even after being pushed. He smiled at Ling Nuan.
Ling Nuan actually saw a bit of silliness on his face. Her slight annoyance instantly disappeared without a trace, and she couldn't help but smile too.
But soon she stopped smiling and glared at him. "I still have to clean up your mess!"
She got up from Huo Linsheng's arms and called the bar manager over.
This was Xu Shichen's own bar, and the manager was already familiar with such things.
"Mr. Xu has a resting place upstairs."
Hearing this, Ling Nuan nodded. She watched as the bar staff took Xu Shichen and Fu Qili there. After making sure they were okay, she turned back and resignedly took the quite drunk Huo Linsheng home.
The bar staff originally wanted to help Ling Nuan carry him to the car.
But then Huo Linsheng also started acting crazy after getting drunk.
He refused to let others touch him.
"Get out of the way."
The people in the bar looked at each other in dismay and didn't dare to move.
Who would have thought that Mr. Huo would still be so imposing after getting drunk?
Ling Nuan had no choice but to do it herself. She carried one side of Huo Linsheng and walked out with difficulty.
For that short distance, Ling Nuan felt as if her internal organs were out of place. Looking at Huo Linsheng again, after getting in the car, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Ling Nuan got angry and reached out to hit Huo Linsheng.
Huo Linsheng opened his eyes. After seeing Ling Nuan, he naturally grabbed her hand and kissed it.
Ling Nuan: "..."
She was so angry that she couldn't even get angry.
But she still murmured, "It stinks."
The consequence of a hangover was that Mr. Huo, who was always a workaholic, got up late.
When Huo Linsheng came downstairs rubbing his temples, Ling Nuan was sitting at the dining table having breakfast. She was holding a tablet and having a voice call with Fang Chao.
"Postpone all the things that can be postponed. I'm not sure when he'll wake up. Make two - hand preparations." Ling Nuan said.
Halfway through the call, she noticed the footsteps behind her and looked up.
"He's awake now. We'll go to the company as soon as possible." Ling Nuan simply said to Fang Chao and then hung up the phone. She got up and walked towards the kitchen.
Not long after, Ling Nuan came out with a bowl of porridge.
"Come and have breakfast. You drank so much wine yesterday. Drinking some porridge will make you feel better."
Huo Linsheng rubbed the bridge of his nose. "Are all the work arrangements done?"
"Yeah. I told Fang Chao. You can have breakfast first. There's still time." Then she couldn't help but complain. "You drank too much yesterday."
Huo Linsheng was helpless. "Xu Shichen is usually quite self - controlled. Yesterday's situation was really special."
Thinking of Huo Qishu, Ling Nuan couldn't help but move closer and ask, "What on earth is he thinking? I think he's not completely indifferent to Qishu."
Huo Linsheng glanced at Ling Nuan and replied, "The matter is probably a bit complicated."
"How complicated?" Ling Nuan asked. "Although there's an age gap, your kind of family shouldn't care about such things, right?"
"Xu Shichen has a betrothal." Huo Linsheng said. "He also has an ex - girlfriend he can't forget."
Ling Nuan: "?"
Such a rich love life?
An ex - girlfriend he can't forget and a current fiancée?
Thinking of this, Ling Nuan felt a bit indignant for Huo Qishu. What a scumbag!
"No, does Qishu know that he has a fiancée?" Ling Nuan asked.
If she knew that Xu Shichen had a fiancée and still jumped in...
"She doesn't know. Xu Shichen's fiancée is quite something. Except for a few of us who know, outsiders don't know much." Huo Linsheng explained.
Ling Nuan found it strange. "Isn't it a marriage alliance?"
"Yeah, it's to repay a favor." Huo Linsheng replied.
Ling Nuan: "..."
The rich people's circle is really chaotic. She can't get involved in this matter at all.
