Cheng Dongyu had never seen someone who would fall on their promise like that, let alone the brilliant and mighty boss.

Just a second ago, he was still being stubborn, saying, “If you can’t walk, do you expect me to carry you?”

But the next second, he squatted in front of Su Lu with his back turned, impatiently saying, “Aren’t you coming up?!”

Was the promise he had made just an auditory hallucination? Or did it happen?

Su Lu embraced his neck, resting her head on his shoulder. She tilted her head and looked at him drowsily.

Bo Jingshen felt uncomfortable being stared at like that, so he furrowed his brow.

Su Lu whispered in his ear, “Why are your ears… so red?”

As she spoke, her mischievous fingertips lightly grazed his ear.

“Don’t move,” Bo Jingshen said in a low voice, too lazy to argue with a drunk.

He didn’t bother paying attention to the gazes of others in the private room. When he passed by Liu Qiming, he didn’t even spare him a glance.

Liu Qiming’s eyes were bloodshot. Despite being in a state of complete unconsciousness while holding onto the trash can, he suddenly mustered up the last bit of his strength and tugged at Bo Jingshen’s clothes.

His voice was weak, “President Bo, wait.”

“Is there anything else?” Bo Jingshen halted and lifted the woman’s leg that was behind him.

The smell of filth in the trash could spread out. Su Lu wrinkled her nose and subconsciously moved closer to Bo Jingshen’s neck, just like how people would subconsciously move closer to a source of heat when they were cold.

When the surroundings were too smelly, she wanted to get closer to the smell she liked. Su Lu liked the cold fragrance of the cedar on Bo Jingshen’s body.

Liu Qiming let out a bitter smile as he watched this scene. Regardless of what made Bo Jingshen interested in Su Lu, it was evident that Bo Jingshen was very tolerant of her.

After all the trouble, he ended up being treated like a clown and played for a fool?

Liu Qiming bitterly smiled, “President Bo, I know you may not believe it, but if it wasn’t for your female assistant telling me it was your intention, I wouldn’t have brought Little Lu to this dinner party. At least, I wouldn’t have let her get so drunk.”

Bo Jingshen furrowed his brow, asking, “What do you mean?”

Liu Qiming wiped his face, saying, “Your female assistant told me that you came to Hai City for this project and that if I could get Little Lu to negotiate this project with me, Little Lu would benefit, and I would earn a favor. Then, it will be easier for me to cooperate with you in the park in Feng City. Even this dinner party was suggested by her.”

Liu Qiming now realized that he had been tricked by Zhuang Cainan. He was naturally angry, but just like Su Lu, he realized that he had made a lot of mistakes after careful consideration.

However, at that moment, due to various reasons, he believed it to be true.

Bo Jingshen remained silent, his furrowed brow still unfurled, as he walked away with the person on his back.

He turned to Cheng Dongyu and instructed, “Call an ambulance for him.”

“Alright, boss,” Cheng Dongyu replied, his smile fading as he adopted a more serious expression.

As they left the restaurant, Zhuang Cainan hurriedly approached.

“Jingshen…”

Her face was a little pale because she was anxious. They had eaten elsewhere earlier. Bo Jingshen suddenly stood up without a word. She thought he was going to the bathroom.

However, after a while, Zhuang Cainan realized something was wrong.

Bo Jingshen didn’t say anything. He glanced at her indifferently.

Zhuang Cainan pursed her lips and cleared her throat to calm herself down. She changed the way she addressed him and asked, “President Bo, is Miss Su okay?”

“She is fine, just a bit drunk. Thanks to you.”

Zhuang Cainan’s face turned pale. “President Bo, I…”

“No need to say anything,” Bo Jingshen shook his head and turned his gaze to Cheng Dongyu, who had just come out. “Dongyu will take you back, and you don’t have to continue with the rest of the itinerary. Thank you for your hard work.”

Zhuang Cainan’s lips trembled as she took a step forward. “Jingshen.”

Bo Jingshen looked at her silently.

After a few seconds of silence, Zhuang Cainan asked in a low voice, “Why?”

Bo Jingshen’s gaze slightly narrowed upon hearing the question.

But in the end, he didn’t speak and left with Su Lu on his back.

Yes, why? Sometimes, Bo Jingshen also wanted to ask that question.

Why? Why was it okay for Gu Xin, but not for him, Bo Jingshen?

Why did Gu Xin betray her like that, and yet she was willing to betray him in that year to marry Gu Xin?

Why?

But he couldn’t expect an answer from the drunkard on his back.

Bo Jingshen walked on, letting out a soft sigh.

“Do you like her?” Suddenly, he heard the drunkard on his back ask.

Bo Jingshen turned to look at her in surprise. He thought that she was sober, but she was not. Her face was flushed red. No matter who looked at her, she was still drunk.

He was too lazy to talk to the drunkard, so he did not answer.

However, this woman, who usually kept a distance from him and was careful and restrained, seemed to have been emboldened by alcohol at this moment.

“Does she like you?” Su Lu didn’t wait for his response and answered her question, “She definitely likes you. Many people like you.”

Bo Jingshen’s gaze deepened. “What about you?”

“I…” The drunkard almost blurted out her answer but stopped herself.

Before Bo Jingshen could hear her continuation, Su Lu had already tilted her head and closed her eyes on his shoulder.

Bo Jingshen’s lips curved with a hint of helplessness.

Upon returning to the hotel and entering the suite, the first thing he noticed was the bags he had bought for her. They were already unpacked and neatly displayed on the table, illuminated by the spotlights. They exuded the same luxurious texture as they did when they were still on the store’s shelves.

Seeing that the gifts he had given her were not left untouched in a corner but meticulously arranged on the table, Bo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, feeling pleased.

He gently placed her on the bed.

Su Lu was beautiful, with delicate features, and she appeared quite innocent. However, combined with her flushed complexion from the alcohol, she became even more alluring. Bo Jingshen didn’t leave her side. He lay down beside her, propped her head with his hand, and silently watched her.

After a while, Su Lu slightly opened her eyes, revealing a watery gaze.

Her focus was scattered, and her gaze seemed to wander. Eventually, her gaze settled on his face.

“Are you awake?” Bo Jingshen asked softly.

The room was only lit by a dim yellow night lamp, and the air was filled with a faint scent of alcohol mixed with the cold fragrance of cedar. The ambiance became even more ambiguous under the soft lighting.

“Thirsty?” Bo Jingshen’s voice was low.

Meanwhile, Su Lu continued to stare at him without turning away.

“Sleepy? If you’re tired, you should…” Bo Jingshen’s words were cut short.

Su Lu’s soft arm wrapped around his neck, and her warm and slender body nestled into his embrace.

Her lips, tainted with the aroma of wine, pressed against his lips and she gently kissed him.

The intoxicating wine and the allure of spring overwhelmed them.

Bo Jingshen’s breath paused momentarily before becoming deeper.

He uttered a low, hoarse sound from his throat.

“Su Little Lu, you brought this upon yourself. You were the one who provoked me first.”
