Falling into the rain

She stood there stunned, and Aunt Jing called her name several times, but she still couldn't come to her senses.

She only started to react slowly when someone touched her forehead. After Aunt Jing took her temperature and withdrew her hand, she saw that the temperature on the forehead thermometer was normal. Looking at the absent-minded Yu Tingyu, she couldn't help but ask with concern, "What's wrong? Is the alcohol still not metabolized?"

Otherwise, why would he have that expression?

Yu Tingyu looked away and shook her head haphazardly, "...I'm fine."

She was just wondering why Wen Huaixu was still as concerned about her as before after this incident. Shouldn't he be furious and blaming himself for doing such a shameful thing? Not to mention having Aunt Jing make porridge for her, which was something she wouldn't even dare to dream of.

A bowl of hot porridge was placed in front of her, but Yu Tingyu couldn't eat it. Feeling anxious, she looked up at Aunt Jing and asked, "...Where is he?"

Aunt Jing casually replied, "Of course I'd be at the company at this time."

Also.

Wen Huaixu has worked diligently for so many years, and under his leadership, the overall strength of the Wen Group has reached a level higher than that of the last century. How could he possibly stay at home because of something like this?

But hearing that Huai Xu was not there, Yu Tingyu was even more at a loss for what to do. She now had only one thought in her mind—

I really want to strangle the drunk version of myself from last night.

-

"You mean...you confessed your feelings to Huaixu last night?"

After listening to Yu Tingyu's explanation, Shen Sihe was so surprised that she didn't speak for a long time. It took her several minutes to process the information before she looked at her and asked.

"Actually, I had a feeling last night that you'd speak the truth after drinking, but I didn't expect you actually would..."

Shen Sihe blinked, feeling for the first time how accurate her sixth sense was.

"Then why didn't you stop me from ordering?" Yu Tingyu asked dejectedly.

"It's Brother Huaixu who's here to pick you up! Brother Huaixu! How could I dare to stop him! It's only natural for him to come and take you home."

Shen Sihe bit her lip and looked at her expectantly.

Yu Tingyu collapsed onto her bed, saying desperately, "I really want to go abroad and hide away..."

Although she said she wanted to die a quick and painless death, the thought of the scene when the two of them met made her want to run away at the last minute.

Shen Sihe waved her hand dismissively: "It hasn't come to that."

"Why aren't you here yet? You have no idea what I did last night." Yu Tingyu banged her head against the wall.

"Didn't you say it yourself? We kissed, we bit, we're just short of the final step." Shen Sihe shrugged.

"Stop talking."

Yu Tingyu was almost in tears. Shen Sihe forced her to recall the events again, and by the end, her face was burning hot.

"I'm afraid he'll think I'm being ridiculous, or that I'm some kind of weirdo."

Yu Tingyu was even speculating about Wen Huaixu's next move: kick her out of the Wen family? Or send her abroad and never let her come back? Sending her a living allowance every year would be enough to fulfill their friendship of so many years.

Thinking of this, Yu Tingyu's eyes reddened, and she looked like she was about to burst into tears, which made Shen Sihe feel heartbroken.

She gently rubbed Yu Tingyu's forehead, which was red from the bump, and softly comforted her, "I don't think Brother Huaixu will take this seriously. Look, he's so much older than us, he's experienced so much, would he care about this? Besides, you're drunk."

She raised an eyebrow, then suddenly realized she'd grasped a key point: "Drunk?"

"Yeah, weren't you drunk? Just insist that you were too drunk to think straight, and Brother Huaixu won't do anything to you."

This is indeed a solution, but it's an escapist approach and a last resort.

Yu Tingyu took the tissue Shen Sihe handed her and wiped away her tears. She gave a pale smile and said, "Sihe, I'm not afraid to tell you this, but I still have a sliver of hope that he might like me too."

Shen Sihe felt a pang of sadness upon hearing this: "You're so wonderful, if Brother Huaixu doesn't like you, then he's just blind."

Yu Tingyu curved her lips into a smile, but it looked somewhat bitter. She said softly, "See? Everyone's first reaction is that he won't like me."

I'm the only one indulging in unrealistic fantasies.

Yu Tingyu thought to herself.

Shen Sihe opened her lips as if she wanted to say something, but ultimately didn't say anything.

Yu Tingyu closed her eyes briefly, her moist eyelashes fluttering gently. Leaning on Shen Sihe's shoulder, she whispered, "Can I stay here tonight?"

Give her at least one night to adjust her mood; she really needs to think carefully about how to handle this matter.

"Of course, you can stay as long as you like." Shen Sihe nodded, putting her arm around her.

Wen's Group, President's Office.

"Did you see that? Why is President Wen wearing a mask today?" The female assistant came out of the office carrying documents, lowering her voice and her eyes full of gossip.

A man next to him turned his chair around, raised an eyebrow, and smiled: "Three possibilities: one, he was bitten; two, he bumped into something; three—"

He paused for a moment, building up everyone's curiosity, and then continued, "Actually, I was bitten, but I said I bumped into something. That's how short dramas are done."

The female assistant rolled her eyes: "Try to watch less."

"Could it be that your girlfriend bit you?"

One person guessed.

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent for a moment, and they all saw disbelief in each other's eyes.

"You never know, aren't there rumors that the relationship between the General and Secretary-General Chen's eldest daughter has been exposed?"

"How come I remember that when Miss Chen came to see President Wen last time, she waited outside for almost an hour?"

"Perhaps it's just General Manager Wen acting in an official capacity?"

"But Miss Ke Yu has never waited for me when she comes."

Just as everyone was pondering this, Wang Hang led Chu Lingyu out of the elevator.

"Hey handsome guys and beautiful ladies, what are you talking about? Are you waiting or not? What's wrong with your CEO, Mr. Wen?"

When Chu Lingyu walked over, he heard their discussion. He leaned against the desk and asked them the same gossipy questions.

The assistants glanced at Wang Hang's expression and immediately dared not say anything more.

Chu Lingyu raised an eyebrow, then put her arm around Wang Hang's shoulder in a friendly, buddy-buddy manner: "Hangzi, tell me secretly, what exactly happened to Second Brother?"

Wang Hang lowered his head, not daring to say anything. Even now, when he thinks about the scene from last night, he still feels like he's dreaming.

He was prepared to take this secret to his grave, so he knocked on the CEO's office door and gestured for him to enter: "...You'll find out when you come in."

Chu Lingyu became even more curious. He took two steps at a time and went inside, just in time to see Wen Huaixu take off his mask and pick up a water glass.

"My goodness..."

Chu Lingyu sighed, his steps unconsciously becoming lighter. He stared at Wen Huaixu's lips for a long time. The wound on it had scabbed over, but it was very obvious. No matter how you looked at it, it didn't seem like he had done it himself.

"Second brother, who bit you?"

After asking the question, he felt increasingly uneasy.

Is there anyone in the world who dares to bite Wen Huaixu?
