192 Can’t He Justify Himself?

Gan Maosheng happened to come back. He had a good relationship with Manager Lin, so he left Xin Lichuan and Manager Lin to have dinner.

Xie Heng naturally accompanied them. And Zhao Chuchu took Xie Jun to have dinner with the women of the Gan clan.

Xin Lichuan did not keep quiet like before. Instead, he talked a lot.

But when he was silent, he still had a serious look.

Xie Heng was still as cold as ever. He answered only when someone asked him a question. Only in front of Zhao Chuchu did he say more.

When men got together, drinking was inevitable.

Gan Maosheng and his two grandsons were both from the Thousand Battalion. They were used to dealing with crude men, so their way of persuading people to drink was simple and brutal, and they didn’t give people a chance to refuse.

Although Xie Heng avoided drinking a lot of wine, he was more or less drunk after that meal.

As for the men of the Gan clan, they were all drunk by Xie Heng, and the task of taking care of Xie Heng naturally fell to Zhao Chuchu.

Zhao Chuchu helped Xie Heng back to his room.

Xie Heng’s whole body weight fell on Zhao Chuchu, and he was much taller than Zhao Chuchu, so it looked as if his entire body was pressing on Zhao Chuchu.

But Zhao Chuchu didn’t have much difficulty.

If it weren’t for Xie Heng’s face, she would have wanted to carry him back.

Back in the room, Zhao Chuchu put Xie Heng on the bed.

Xie Heng sat there with his hands on his knees. His eyes kept following Zhao Chuchu without looking away for a single second.

Zhao Chuchu asked the servants of the Gan clan to bring warm water. She wet a handkerchief and wrung it out. Then she went over to wipe Xie Heng’s face.

Xie Heng stared at her with unblinking eyes.

He did whatever he was told to do, looking very obedient.

“Chuchu,” he called out.

Zhao Chuchu, who was washing the handkerchief, turned around. “What?”

Xie Heng, who was sitting in a docile position, patted the seat beside him. “Can you come over here?”

Zhao Chuchu smiled. “What’s wrong?”

“You’re too far away from me.” Xie Heng pursed his lips.

“I’m washing a handkerchief to wipe your face.”

“Well.”

A few moments later, Xie Heng called out to her again.

Zhao Chuchu answered him. But he continued and just kept on shouting.

Zhao Chuchu thought that Xie Heng might really be drunk.

She walked over somewhat helplessly and shoved the handkerchief at Xie Heng. “Wipe your hands.”

Xie Heng wiped his hands clean quickly and patted the seat beside him again. “You sit here.”

Seeing this, Zhao Chuchu had no choice but to sit beside him. “Do you want to sleep first…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Xie Heng rested his head on Zhao Chuchu’s shoulder. “This way, you won’t be able to leave.”

Zhao Chuchu was speechless.

Sure enough, Xie Heng was drunk.

How else could such a man be so childish?

Zhao Chuchu doubted that Xie Heng would forget everything tomorrow.

But Xie Heng leaned against her and didn’t move.

Zhao Chuchu looked sideways and met the side of a face with a firm and perfect outline. The long eyelashes were slightly upturned, the fair skin did not have a single flaw, and the long ink-like hair hung down casually, making him look less cold than usual and more recklessly juvenile.

“Da Lang.” After admiring Xie Heng’s blossoming beauty, Zhao Chuchu gently called out to him.

Xie Heng did not react.

Zhao Chuchu looked down and found that Xie Heng had closed his eyes. His breaths were calm and long, and he seemed to have fallen asleep.

Zhao Chuchu sighed and said, “You’re comfortable now, but my shoulder doesn’t feel good.”

After a while, Zhao Chuchu carefully helped Xie Heng to the bed. Then, she took off his shoes, socks, and outer shirt and covered him with the quilt.

Xie Heng was very quiet when he was drunk. He was still a good person after drinking.

When covering him with the quilt, Zhao Chuchu looked at that handsome, peerless face and couldn’t help but think of what Xie Heng had said about his past life.

Wasn’t there any other woman who had ever taken a fancy to such a man?

Zhao Chuchu felt that this was impossible.

If Xie Heng could also win the first prize this time, there would be many women around him.

For some reason, Zhao Chuchu suddenly felt uncomfortable when she thought of these things.

But she refused to look into the reason.

Zhao Chuchu sat at Xie Heng’s bedside for a while and was about to leave when her hand was abruptly grabbed.

She looked back and met a pair of deep eyes.

Xie Heng had woken up at some point, and at this moment, he looked sober and not drunk.

“What’s wrong?” Zhao Chuchu’s heart beat faster. Xie Heng’s eyes were full of aggression.

...

“Chuchu, don’t go, okay?” Xie Heng murmured. His tone was a bit sad. “I just saw you leave.”

Zhao Chuchu was confused.

“You didn’t even look back when you left.”

Zhao Chuchu was speechless.

“I’m afraid.”

“What? Afraid of what?”

“My light is gone.”

Zhao Chuchu understood.

Xie Heng had a dream of her leaving.

“Don’t go.” Xie Heng grabbed her hand and didn’t let go. And soon, he closed his eyes again and didn’t move.

Zhao Chuchu was suddenly touched.

...

She was very excited.

What did this mean?

She had the impulse to wake Xie Heng up.

But when she saw Xie Heng frown tightly and seemed to be very uncomfortable, she finally suppressed this thought.

Then she thought, “Forget it. I shall not bother with a drunk.”

But Xie Heng was clutching her hand so tightly that Zhao Chuchu couldn’t pull it out even if she wanted to. She could only move Xie Heng’s fingers off one by one and regain her freedom.

“Next time, you are not allowed to drink!” Zhao Chuchu glared at the sleeping Xie Heng. “You are simply unreasonable when you drink too much!”

Zhao Chuchu left the room after muttering this.

She didn’t notice that just after she closed the door, Xie Heng, who had fallen asleep, suddenly opened his eyes again.

Xie Heng’s gaze fell to the door. He closed his eyes and rubbed his temples.

He was too calculating.

He took advantage of Zhao Chuchu taking care of him to make such an ambitious request.

He could not rest until Zhao Chuchu agreed to stay.

The only thing he wanted to do after being reborn was to take revenge.

But Zhao Chuchu’s appearance let him rediscover a different kind of beauty in the world.

He wanted to hold on to her hand and not let go.

There had never been a woman who unknowingly came into his heart. From then on, she took root and grew into a huge tree that he could not ignore.

In the past, he could do everything to achieve his goal, but in front of Zhao Chuchu, he always had to suppress his thoughts.

This girl was different from everyone else.

He would feel ashamed of himself even if he only had a few ill intentions.

When Xie Heng was thinking, the door opened again.

Xie Heng, who opened his eyes, was caught by Zhao Chuchu.

“You’re not drunk?” Zhao Chuchu raised her eyebrows, and a dangerous glint flashed across her eyes. “Da Lang, you’ve changed!”

Xie Heng was speechless.

Zhao Chuchu walked to Xie Heng as she spoke.

“Pretending to be drunk and taking advantage of me—is this what a gentleman does?” Zhao Chuchu looked down on Xie Heng from above.

Xie Heng looked at her.

“No,” he said.

“Then you still did it?”

“Yes, I did.”

Xie Heng’s almost abandoned confession caused Zhao Chuchu not to know what to say for a moment.

She thought, “Can’t he justify himself for a moment?”
