Chapter 1367 - 1381: Lin Junyang, I Like You
Lin Junyang heard the sound and looked over, just in time to see Xie Yuting kneeling down to pick up the broken pieces of the wine glass.
He was about to say something when he heard her exclaim "Oh!" Her slender fingers had already started bleeding.
Almost instinctively, Lin Junyang stepped forward, but someone was faster.
Chen Yankun moved ahead and unceremoniously pulled Xie Yuting up, "Sister-in-law, why are you picking that up?"
Saying this, he waved to a waiter to come over and clean up.
Xie Yuting slowly lifted her head. Whether it was the pain in her fingers or something else, her eyes were red, with tears welling up in them.
Chen Yankun frowned slightly, "You’ve had too much to drink. I’ll take you home. Don’t do this next time; Second Brother would be heartbroken."
In the Chen Family, Chen Sheng ranks second among the men, so Chen Yankun should call him Second Brother.
Xie Yuting nodded, allowing Chen Yankun to help her out the door.
Lin Junyang watched that delicate silhouette until it disappeared from view.
The broken pieces of the wine glass on the floor had already been cleaned into a dustpan by the waiter, and a streak of crimson pricked his eyes.
Looking back, the girl behind him had already fallen asleep on the table, her long lashes casting a shadow like butterfly wings under her eyes, her rosy little mouth moving slightly as if mumbling something.
He called a waiter, asking for Xiao Xiao’s coat, and then phoned the chauffeur at home before going to gently shake the person sleeping at the table.
"Xiao Xiao, don’t sleep. Let’s go home."
Xiao Xiao, disturbed, showed some irritation, waving her hand, "Lin Junyang~, don’t bother me, let me sleep a bit longer."
Lin Junyang found it both amusing and frustrating. How big-hearted is this foolish woman? If he weren’t there, could she just fall asleep outside without any care?
Yet inside, he felt a bit sorry for her. If it weren’t for his stubbornness, she wouldn’t have drunk that wine, nor would she be drunk.
"Don’t sleep anymore; if you keep sleeping, you’ll catch a cold. Get up, I’ll help you get dressed."
As Lin Junyang spoke, he pulled her up.
Xiao Xiao still felt dizzy, standing there with closed eyes, swaying as if she might fall at any moment.
All Lin Junyang could do was support her with one hand and take the coat from the waiter with the other.
Just as he was about to drape it over her shoulders, Xiao Xiao lost her balance and leaned into his arms.
Feeling the familiar scent, Xiao Xiao snuggled further into him, wrapping her arms around his waist, her small face rubbing against his chest. With her eyes still closed, she mumbled incoherently, "Lin Junyang, I like you."
The action of Lin Junyang draping the coat paused right there.
The girl seemed to have fallen asleep again, her entire weight leaning on him, her little head resting on his chest, her breath feeling almost like it could burn his chest.
A moment later, he pulled her coat tighter and lifted her horizontally in his arms.
"Young Master Lin, your coat." The waiter behind him said.
"Take it to the car for me," Lin Junyang finished saying, looked again at the girl in his arms, and, confirming she was fine, headed towards the door...
An Ran didn’t stay at the hotel. She knew in her heart that Mu Xingfeng had always had a cold temperament and wasn’t interested in playing around with those people. In contrast, separating from her, he couldn’t bear it, which is why he said those things.
And her own state of mind was much the same.
Although they hadn’t lived in the villa this whole time, someone cleaned it every day. The Mu Family didn’t mind the expense of a few servants.
