Chapter 157 - Just A Little
The red Ferrari stopped at a five-star hotel near the bar. Jiang Ruolan leaned back in the leather chair, half asleep, and put her hand on her head. She was feeling dizzy.
When Qin Gengxin was awakened by the waiter, he immediately saw that Jiang Ruolan had fallen asleep on the sofa. He had no choice but to use his little consciousness to help her get out of the bar and into the car.
He drove around until he reached a nearby hotel. He stopped the car and looked at Jiang Ruolan. He nudged her with his hand, "Jiang Ruolan."
No reaction.
"Jiang Ruolan." Qin Gengxin nudged her again.
"Aiya, what are you doing …" Jiang Ruolan pushed his hand away.
Qin Gengxin forced himself to open his eyes and look at her for a while. His eyes were frighteningly dark. He got out of the car, staggered to the pa.s.senger side and opened the door.
Qin Gengxin stood by the side of the car, looking down at Jiang Ruolan. After staring for a long time, he pulled her out.
Jiang Ruolan staggered out of the car. She was unsteady on her feet.
Qin Gengxin quickly embraced her and looked down at her. "Jiang Ruolan, let"s get a room."
Jiang Ruolan pressed her face against his chest and nodded in a confused manner, "Sure, whatever you say."
Ten minutes later, Qin Gengxin and Jiang Ruolan were half-supporting each other and staggered to find their room.
When Jiang Ruolan saw the room number, she giggled and pointed to the door, "It"s this one. Hee..Heee."
Qin Gengxin glanced at the door and smiled. He used a room key to open the door, and they both entered, one in front of the other.
Jiang Ruolan touched the wall as if she was looking for a bathroom. But before she could move forward, Qin Gengxin"s heavy breathing suddenly hit her ear. He pressed her against the door, bent down, and kissed her lips, causing her to give in restlessly, "Don"t. You stink of alcohol."
Jiang Ruolan slowly opened her eyes. She looked at Qin Gengxin for a long time, and slowly, her eyes became focused. Her eyes immediately widened.
Jiang Ruolan immediately pushed him away.
Qin Gengxin didn"t expect her to do this. Jiang Ruolan pushed his body against the wall beside her, but because of the alcohol, his consciousness disappeared, and he was powerless to move again. He spun and lay on the bed at her feet.
Jiang Ruolan sat up in a fl.u.s.ter and pulled up her clothes that had fallen off her shoulders. She turned around and glanced at Qin Gengxin, who was lying motionlessly on the bed and cursing herself for finding him out of the blue.
Her impulsiveness almost made her make a big mistake.
Jiang Ruolan stumbled out of the hotel. She didn"t know what time it was now and the number of cars on the road became very small, there were only a few taxis left.
As she walked to the side of the road, she endured the dizziness and hailed a taxi. After saying two words, "Greenville Residence", she immediately leaned against the seat and stopped moving.
Jiang Ruolan could hear her cell phone ringing, but she was powerless to move, to check on the phone. In her vague mind, she thought that the ringing phone belonged to the taxi driver.
When the taxi stopped at Greenville Residence, the driver had to call for her for a long time before she opened her eyes in a daze. Jiang Ruolan looked outside the window and recognized the name of the building. She then casually took out 100 yuan from her bag and gave it to the driver.
Although she was drunk, Jiang Ruolan did not forget to wait for the driver to give the balance. When the driver saw how drunk she was, he did not intend to find the money and waited for her to get out of the car in a daze before driving away.
But when he saw Jiang Ruolan still waiting for him, the driver had to hand over the rest of the money. Jiang Ruolan took it and asked, "What time is it now?"
"Two in the morning!" The driver snappily replied.
"Really? She didn"t forget to look for the balance even when she was so drunk. I"ve never seen such a woman!"
Jiang Ruolan took the money and put it in her pocket. Then, she opened the door and got out of the car. The cold wind blew around her and her body swayed, almost falling to the ground.
She forced herself to take two steps forward and raised her hand to support herself on the telephone pole.
Jiang Ruolan felt like she was about to fall to the ground, so she quickly leaned against the pole and lowered her head. Her eyes stared at the ground, motionless.
She touched her forehead and wanted to open her bag to pick the ringing phone, but just as she took out her phone, her hand trembled and her bag fell to the ground along with her phone.
Jiang Ruolan looked down at her bag and the phone on the floor and bent down to pick them up, but then she suddenly fell to the ground.
The phone"s ringtone rang a few times at the entrance of Greenville Residence, which was quiet and empty late at night. In the end, everything became quiet.
In less than five minutes, Jiang Ruolan heard the familiar footsteps. She turned around and saw Xian Zihao.
She stared blankly at his figure, who was slowly walking out of Greenville Residence.
Was she hallucinating?
Was that really Xian Zihao?
That familiar face was etched in her mind, so it was quite impossible for her not to recognize it. Even if her eyes were blurry with drunkenness, she would still be able to recognize that handsome face.
This is bad! If he knew that she had been out all night and had drunk so much wine, he would be furious.
Jiang Ruolan hurriedly glanced at the figure as he slowly walked towards her. She quickly turned around and was about to leave, but as soon as her hand left the telephone pole, she suddenly staggered and swayed twice on the side of the road before falling down.
Suddenly, a hand firmly grabbed her arm. In the next instant, she was pulled into a warm and fresh embrace. She struggled for a moment but was firmly held in his embrace.
"Are you drunk?" Xian Zihao"s voice sounded above her head.
Jiang Ruolan"s whole body went stiff. She was like a child caught doing something bad. She lifted her face and gave him a silly smile, but Xian Zihao didn"t smile at all. He gazed at her drunk face, then lowered his head to look at the bag on the ground, his expression much more serious than usual.
"Just a little." Jiang Ruolan stretched out her index finger and waved it in front of his eyes, and her body leaned against his chest without strength. She waved her finger in front of his eyes a few times and said very seriously. "Really, I drank just a little!"
After saying that, Jiang Ruolan nodded at Xian Zihao with certainty. "A little."
Her clothes were tousled, and her hair was scattered behind her back. The right heel had lost its heel at some point. Jiang Ruolan"s appearance right now made her look like a completely different person from her usual clean and tidy self.
She leaned against Xian Zihao"s chest and snickered at him.
Xian Zihao did not say anything. He held her with one hand and picked up the bag and phone with the other. Jiang Ruolan shamelessly stuck to his body, with one arm around his waist and the other tightly holding onto the sleeve of his shirt. "I"ve got you. You can"t run away from me now."
Jiang Ruolan looked at him with a silly smile, only to find out that Xian Zihao ignored her. She suddenly became angry and firmly held the sleeve of his shirt. "Xian Zihao, look at me. I said, look at me!"
Helplessly, he glanced down at her.
Jiang Ruolan giggled as she stuck to his chest. She raised her hand to hold his face, tiptoeing, and bit his lips.
Xian Zihao frowned as she bit down his lips hard. He quickly wrapped his hand around her waist when he saw her almost fall.
