Chapter 20 : Making a Fool of Oneself After Drinking
- After a moment of consideration, Luo Jinyi smiled politely and took the wine glass, drinking it all in one gulp.
- "No need to be polite, Mr. Lu. It's something I should do," she said.
- Lu Zhihuai's gaze was intense as he stared at Luo Jinyi, but she showed no signs of weakness, disguising herself perfectly.
- Finally, Lu Zhihuai withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "Well then, Miss Niki, please make yourself at home."
- Luo Jinyi nodded with a smile and turned her head, noticing Lin Enxi standing beside Lu Zhihuai with a pale and frosty expression.
- Interesting, what exactly is the relationship between these two?
- As Lu Zhihuai turned around, Luo Jinyi quickly grabbed his arm, as if demonstrating her presence, and followed him.
- This scene was somewhat uncomfortable for Luo Jinyi, but she restrained her slight displeasure and turned to leave.
- She had only been sitting in the corner for a short while when many men approached her, but she dismissed them one by one.
- For some reason, perhaps due to the effect of the glass of red wine earlier, she now felt a turmoil in her stomach and quickly rushed towards the restroom.
- Unbeknownst to her, every move she made was observed by Lu Zhihuai. He saw Luo Jinyi running away and followed her.
- Standing by the sink, Luo Jinyi almost vomited, feeling extremely uncomfortable. Everything in front of her became somewhat blurry.
- In her last moment of consciousness, she seemed to have seen a man in a black suit rushing towards her, followed by a subtle scent of cologne...
- ---
- It took quite an effort for Lu Zhihuai to carry Luo Jinyi from the restroom to the underground parking lot. He looked at her flushed face and unclear state of mind as she sat in the passenger seat, furrowing his brows slightly.
- They say that people speak the truth when they're drunk. Should I... give it a try?
- After a moment of contemplation, Lu Zhihuai gently patted Luo Jinyi's reddened face and asked, "Are you Luo Jinyi?"
- But... was that too straightforward?
- Before he could think further, Luo Jinyi suddenly opened her eyes, squinting as she stared at Lu Zhihuai for a while. Then, she grabbed his ear, causing him to wince in pain.
- "Luo Jinyi is dead!" she shouted, releasing Lu Zhihuai's ear and rolling over, continuing to sleep soundly.
- Lu Zhihuai's face turned as dark as ink. He gave up on further questioning and drove with Luo Jinyi back to the entrance of the apartment.
- To his surprise, as soon as he parked the car, Luo Jinyi woke up. Blinking her big eyes, she innocently looked at Lu Zhihuai and suddenly burst into laughter.
- "Get out of the car," Lu Zhihuai said curtly.
- Luo Jinyi obediently got out of the car, but to everyone's astonishment, she hopped and skipped to the bottom of the apartment building, sat down, and shouted at the sky, "Everyone who's awake, come out!!!"
- Her powerful voice shook the surroundings, and Lu Zhihuai saw the lights in the building turning on one by one. His heart trembled, and he quickly tried to pull Luo Jinyi away.
- But Luo Jinyi was one step ahead and unleashed a sonic attack.
- "All of you come out and see! Whose family do I belong to?" Luo Jinyi said, her voice suddenly turning teary, and she shouted with earth-shattering force, "I can't find my way home!!!"
- Lu Zhihuai stood behind Luo Jinyi, covering his ears, his mouth twitching, and three black lines appeared on his forehead.
