Translator: StarveCleric Editor: Milkbiscuit
Leaning back on the driver’s seat, Liang Mumu panted for a moment before turning to the young lady next to her, who had finally quietened down after causing a huge fuss in the bar earlier.
She stared at s.h.i.+ Yao for a moment, and a hint of coldness rippled in the depths of her usually composed eyes.
I didn’t want to do this either, but I had no choice. I can’t let you get closer to Lin Jiage…
Liang Mumu’s lips pursed tightly as she thought this. Then, she stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
She didn’t send s.h.i.+ Yao back to her home or the school. She wasn’t planning on bringing s.h.i.+ Yao back to her apartment either. Instead, she drove the car to a 5-star hotel nearby.
After Liang Mumu’s car stopped at the entrance, a bellboy immediately rushed over to help her support s.h.i.+ Yao.
Liang Mumu didn’t head to the front desk receptionist to check in a room. Instead, she walked straight toward the elevators, then whipped out a card to tap it on the terminal to call the elevator.
After pressing on the corresponding floor, Liang Mumu gazed at the completely inebriated s.h.i.+ Yao through the elevator mirror. She only reined in her thoughts when the elevator doors finally opened once more. She led the bellboy to a room, tapped the room open, and gestured for the bellboy to place s.h.i.+ Yao down on a bed.
After seeing the bellboy off, Liang Mumu finally walked into the bedroom of the executive suite.
She stared at the sleeping s.h.i.+ Yao for a moment before calling out her name, “Yaoyao? Yaoyao?”
Seeing that s.h.i.+ Yao wasn’t responding to her, Liang Mumu stretched her hand to pat on her face lightly, “Yaoyao? Yaoyao?”
There was still no response from s.h.i.+ Yao. Relieved, Liang Mumu walked toward s.h.i.+ Yao’s bag and took out her phone.
She used s.h.i.+ Yao’s fingerprint to unlock the phone before tapping into her Messages app to search for ‘Han Jing’.
She stared at Han Jing’s name for three whole seconds before unhesitatingly dialing the number.
The call was picked up on the other side and then hung up right after.
Liang Mumu frowned. She was just about to continue dialing again when a message suddenly came in. It was from Han Jing: [What’s wrong? My roommates are asleep at the moment, so it’s not convenient for me to pick up the phone.]
Liang Mumu immediately replied: [May I know if you’re the Senior Han that s.h.i.+ Yao often talks about?]
Han Jing: [Yes, I am.]
Perhaps because he’d sensed that something was wrong, Han Jing quickly sent another message: [You are?]
Liang Mumu: [I’m s.h.i.+ Yao’s friend, Liang Mumu. We’ve met once before. Do you remember me?]
Han Jing: [I remember you. Did something happen to s.h.i.+ Yao?]
Liang Mumu: [Yaoyao’s currently drunk, and she doesn’t seem so good at the moment. I have something to do right now so I won’t be able to take care of her, but I don’t feel safe leaving her on her own. The two of you often hang out together, so I figured that you’re close friends with her. Sorry, but can you come over and take care of her?]
As if fearing that Han Jing wouldn’t agree to it, Liang Mumu quickly added:[She’s really drunk right now, and she hasn’t stopped vomiting ever since we left the bar. I’m scared that she might choke and put herself in danger, so it would really be great if you can come over.]
Roughly ten seconds later, Han Jing’s response finally came in: [Got it. What’s the address? I’ll come over right now.]
Liang Mumu: [Great!]
Liang Mumu quickly sent over the hotel’s address before adding: [I really have some urgent matters to do and I have to leave right now, so please come quickly. The room number is 1012. I’ll leave the room card with the front desk receptionist. Just report my name along with yours to them, and they should pa.s.s it to you.]
Han Jing: [OK.]
Liang Mumu: [Once again, sorry for troubling you. Also, thanks.]
Han Jing: [It’s fine. You’re welcome.]
Liang Mumu didn’t respond anymore. She quickly deleted her conversation with Han Jing from s.h.i.+ Yao’s phone, but she intentionally kept the record of the phone call she’d made to Han Jing previously. Then, she placed the phone next to s.h.i.+ Yao’s pillow before standing up to leave the hotel suite.
