“I’m sorry, CEO Pei. We drank too much and didn’t notice where they went…”
Pei Huai stopped the last group of people who left.
They supported each other, smelling like alcohol. It was obvious that they had drunk too much.
Pei Huai frowned and looked around.
Lu Shang asked, “you still can’t get through to Master?”
Pei Huai gripped his phone tightly. He did not reply, but Lu Shang knew the answer when he saw his expression.
He also called Nan Miaomiao, but no one picked up. That little girl would always turn her phone to silent mode every time they had a drinking session.
Pei Huai looked at the empty terrace. It was especially deserted after the celebration.
The busy tone on the phone was suffocating, and it couldn’t get any worse.
“CEO Pei, don’t worry. Master hasn’t had a drop of alcohol tonight. I’ve been watching her.” He pointed to the side. “She might have gone to the washroom. I’ll go over there and take a look!”
Pei Huai and Lu Shang split up to search.
Initially, Lu Shang thought that he would be able to find them very quickly. After all, the restaurant was only so big, but after searching for ten minutes…he still hadn’t found them!
Pei Huai went to the security room to ask for the surveillance footage. Lu Shang was infected by his emotions and also became anxious.
Fortunately, there was a surveillance camera in the elevator below the balcony. The surveillance camera showed that Su Ji and Nan Miaomiao did not leave the balcony at all.
“Did we miss something?” Lu Shang turned around to look at Pei Huai, but the person who was still standing there a second ago had already disappeared.
The security room was on the first floor, and the balcony was on the seventh floor of the hotel.
At this moment, the elevator was occupied, so Pei Huai went straight up the stairs.
He only took a minute to climb the stairs to the seventh floor.
Pushing open the door to the balcony, the man, who had always been calm and self-restrained, was sweating anxiously. The breath he exhaled from his chest was hot and rough.
This time, he finally noticed the shadow of a recliner cast on the ground behind the corner of the balcony.
He strode over.
The two heartless people were lying side by side on the recliner.
Nan Miaomiao was drunk, and Su Ji had fallen asleep.
Pei Huai stood on the spot and calmed his breathing. After a while, he laughed helplessly.
Although she was heartless, she still remembered to cover her stomach with a piece of clothing when she fell asleep.
He couldn’t tolerate anything happening to her.
She could never disappear from his eyes again.
When Lu Shang caught up, the man carried Su Ji horizontally in the night sky and walked towards him. It was the kind of care he had for his most precious treasure. Neon lights fell behind him.
Lu Shang admitted that he was shocked by that scene. It was as touching as a movie scene.
“Mine is also here?” His master was asleep, so he lowered his voice.
Pei Huai tilted his forehead. “Over at the stands.”
Lu Shang nodded and thanked him.
The two of them passed each other. Pei Huai carried Su Ji and left, while Lu Shang went to look for his girl.
He walked over and squatted by the folding bed, looking at Nan Miaomiao’s blurry and red eyes.
The back of his hand touched her cheek. “You almost caused trouble.”
His voice wasn’t loud, but Nan Miaomiao seemed to have heard him.
Her eyes were half-opened in a daze, and she could not focus.
Lu Shang reached out to cover her clear and beautiful eyes.
“Lu Shang,” Nan Miaomiao recognized him, even though she was obviously drunk and her words were unclear. “I really admire your determination.”
Lu Shang smiled and raised his eyebrows. “What?”
These words were a little sudden, and he suspected that he had misheard.
Perhaps Nan Miaomiao felt safe with him covering her eyes. She didn’t have to think about her face no matter what she said. She mumbled in a daze, “I said, I really admire your determination! A beauty like me lives next door to you every day, and you can actually endure it?”
Lu Shang’s body stiffened.
He felt her eyelashes flutter in his palm, and his heart went numb. The redness spread from his neck to his ears.
This was the first time Nan Miaomiao had told him about it, and it was also the first time he knew what she was thinking.
The surroundings were silent. He did not know if she was asleep or waiting for his reply.
However, he knew that if she drank too much, she would definitely lose her memory and would not be able to remember anything the next day.
“That’s all an act.” He leaned close to her ear and said in a low, husky voice, “actually, I fantasize every day that you’ll be sleeping next to me when I wake up…”
Pei Huai’s car drove into the embassy, and Su Ji, who was in the passenger seat, was woken up by a phone call.
Pei Huai wanted to get her phone, but Su Ji was already awake.
She rubbed her temples and tried to figure out where she was.
Then, she looked at the caller ID and frowned. She couldn’t hold back her anger after waking up.
The call was from Su Junye. It was still evening in China.
Her voice was clear and cold, and her entire body exuded a sense of hostility. “What’s the matter?”
Pei Huai glanced over from the corner of his eye. He drove the car very steadily.
“Please do me a favor! My happiness in this life depends on you!”
Su Junye was as loud as usual.
Su Ji massaged her temples. “Just say it.”
Su Junye paused for a few seconds before saying, “can you lend me some money?”
“This time, it really wasn’t a random spending! My goddess is livestreaming tonight. I want to tip my goddess!”
Su Ji asked, “who’s your goddess?”
“Jiang Mi!”
It had been a while since she had heard this name, so Su Ji chuckled.
Su Junye thought that he had a chance when he heard that and continued to persuade her. “You her too! Now, there are many people who donate to her stream. I must rush to the top of the rankings today! To let the goddess remember me!”
Ever since the PK competition ended and Jiang Chu won the championship, his popularity in the country had increased a lot.
In addition, everyone knew that he was about to participate in “Tonight’s Warmth”. All kinds of invitations from the program team flew into his mailbox like paper.
His popularity had increased by several times, and the number of people who tipped him naturally increased.
In the past, Su Junye could sometimes be in the top three, but now he was ranked outside the top ten.
“How much?” Su Ji asked.
Su Junye replied, “80,000 will do!”
“I’m hanging up.”
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
She didn’t show any mercy!
Su Junye was still talking when he heard a toot sound when he was about to catch his breath. He pulled out his phone and glanced at it. “???”
Su Ji knew that her brother was not that easy to deal with. As expected, as soon as she hung up, she received a WeChat message.
[ Young Master Su of Beijing: “Please, I’ll definitely return it! I really can’t live without my goddess!” ]
Su Ji replied
[ “Are you sure that he is your goddess?” ]
She deliberately used the word ‘he’ beside the word, but Su Junye did not notice that.
[ “Yes!” ]
[ Young Master Su of Beijing: “Not only is she my goddess, but she’s also my true love!” ]
Ding dong. A dialog box popped up with a transfer.
Su Junye was so touched that he was on the verge of tears. Then, he clicked on the message.
[ Su Ji transferred 200 to you. ]
Su Junye:
[ “Use it to get a pair of glasses.” ]
Su Junye:
