Ji Chen pursed his lips and the cold hard feeling all over his body gradually softened. He looked at Jiang Baiwan, his eyes flickering, and under the influence of alcohol, he opened his mouth to say something.

Jiang Baiwan was quick on her feet. She pulled out two napkins from the side and pressed them on Ji Chen’s mouth at once. “Wipe it quickly. You can’t just lick the sauce next to your mouth.”

Ji Chen: “……”

The ambiguous atmosphere collapsed in an instant. Ji Chen’s face cooled down along with his brain. Jiang Baiwan, in her drunkenness, even wiped Ji Chen’s mouth with a napkin indiscriminately, scaring Tan Mi to break into cold sweat. She held Jiang Baiwan and told her to sit down, then laughed awkwardly at Ji Chen, “Ji Chen, I think she’s drunk. If you’re free, send her home.”

Jiang Baiwan was still restless in her seat and when she heard Tan Mi say this, she yelled, “Don’t drink if you’re driving. Don’t drive if you’re drunk!”

Tan Mi rolled her eyes and directly blocked her mouth with a chicken leg from the plate. “I’ll send Luo Xiao home, and you send Xiao Wan. I just have to trouble Master Wei to tidy up the shop.”

Wei Dao naturally had no objection. He nodded. “Miss Tan arranged it quite well. Just leave this to me.”

Ji Chen furrowed his brows slightly, looking somewhat confused. “Why are you…… doing this?”

While speaking, Tan Mi had already helped Luo Xiao up. She stood there steadily, completely different from her usual soft appearance. Hearing Ji Chen’s question, Tan Mi couldn’t refrain from chuckling. “President Ji, just think of it as me apologising to you for my bold behavior in the beginning.”

After saying that, Tan Mi supported Luo Xiao out, leaving only Ji Chen, Jiang Baiwan, and a busy Wei Dao in the shop.

Ji Chen showed a rare expression of being lost for words as he subconsciously looked at Wei Dao. Master Wei gave him a very fierce look. “Why are you looking at me? Didn’t Miss Tan already say it? She asked you send the person back.”

Ji Chen met the old man’s gaze and wanted to say something but Jiang Baiwan suddenly stood up. Her body looked shaky, but her eyes were a few shades brighter than usual. She accurately pinpointed Ji Chen’s location and staggered towards him, saying, “Ji Chen, Ji Chen, I’ll give you 200,000. You take me home!”

Wei Dao laughed very impolitely, but Ji Chen was a little helpless. He was afraid that Jiang Baiwan would fall, so he quickly supported her. Jiang Baiwan couldn’t stand upright and fell into Ji Chen’s arms all of a sudden. She grabbed Ji Chen’s clothes with both hands, only feeling that her head was clear for a while and then extremely disoriented.

“You’re drunk.” Ji Chen’s voice was a short distance away. “I’ll take you back.”

For her part, Jiang Baiwan nodded seriously. “You’re right, I’m drunk.”

“But you’ve had a lot of drink too.” She tiled her face up, the smell of alcohol lingered in her breath. “How can you hold alcohol so well?”

Ji Chen raised a brow. “It’s inborn.”

Jiang Baiwan: “……”

“I’m not talking to you.” Jiang Baiwan muttered trying to push Ji Chen away. “You hurt my self-esteem.”

“Don’t make trouble.” Ji Chen said lightly, smoothly holding down Jiang Baiwan’s flailing arms. “I’ll take you back.”

Jiang Baiwan looked up again at Ji Chen after hearing that. She said gratefully, “Ji Chen, you’re such a good person!”

Ji Chen, who got a good person card out of nowhere, was not in such a wonderful mood. He sighed, took out his mobile phone with one free hand and made a call. Not long after, the Ji family’s driver arrived with the car.

“Uncle Wei, I’ll take her away first.” Ji Chen spoke to Wei Dao. “I’m sorry to trouble you here.”

Wei Dao waved his hand, telling him to hurry up and go. Ji Chen supported Jiang Baiwan and walked slowly outside.

When he reached the door of the shop, Ji Chen looked up and was surprised by the car in front of him—— A stretched Lincoln was parked in front of the Malatang shop, looking very eye-catching. It wasn’t yet late into the night and quite a few people on the road kept looking over, all because of this exaggerated luxury car.

The driver stood aside and bowed respectfully to Ji Chen. “Young Master.”

“……What’s going on?” Ji Chen frowned. “Why did you bring this car here?”

The driver cautiously glances at Ji Chen, then quickly lowered his head again. “This is…… the Master and the Young Lady’s idea.”

Ji Ying and Ji Hongfa?

Ji Chen felt his head ached. He pressed his temples and helped Jiang Baiwan who had slipped a little to stand upright. After deliberating for a while, he made a decision. “Go back and change the car.”

The driver laughed embarrassedly. “Young Master, the Young Lady said that this is the only car available in the house today as she has lent out everything else.”

Ji Chen: “……”

He stared at the car and blinked. In his mind, he began to hesitate whether he should call Assistant Xu over. As a result, at that moment, Jiang Baiwan suddenly came to her senses again. She looked at the stretched Lincoln in front of her and was taken aback. “Wow! Ji Chen, why is there a subway in front of me?”

Ji Chen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “It’s a car.”

“What kind of car is so long?” Jiang Baiwan muttered. “It’s clearly a subway, look, it’s even moving.”

Ji Chen glanced at the stretched Lincoln parked in front of the shop and wisely chose to remain silent.

“No, I can’t take the subway.” Jiang Baiwan pulled Ji Chen’s sleeve very seriously. “I drank a lot today. If I take the subway, it will shake and I’ll throw up.”

“Okay, then we won’t take it.” Ji Chen looked around. “Shall I walk you back?”

Jiang Baiwan waved her hand repeatedly, rejecting Ji Chen’s proposal without hesitation. “No! I hate walking! Don’t walk back!”

Ji Chen was startled. After a while, he slowly said, “Then…… I’ll carry you?”

It’s just that before Ji Chen had time to express his proposal, Jiang Baiwan interrupted him. She fumbled in her pocket, took out a bunch of keys, and placed them in Ji Chen’s hand. “Let’s go, let’s go, let’s ride my e-bike!”

Ji Chen, who was holding the keys, had a deep gaze. He was now facing one of the biggest challenges of his life.

——Should he ride the electric bike or not?

Looking at the stretched Lincoln next to him once again, Ji Chen decisively chose Jiang Baiwan’s e-bike.

The Ji family’s driver watched Ji Chen clumsily unlock the large lock on the vehicle, and for a moment his heart went up in his throat. “Young Master, it’s better to take the car.”

“No.” After finally opening the lock, a thin layer of sweat broke out on Ji Chen’s forehead. He pushed the bike out and rode on it with awkward movements. Jiang Baiwan’s e-bike was a woman’s type and was not large in size. Ji Chen was tall so when he rode on it, his two long legs seem to have no place to rest.

Jiang Baiwan was quite obedient. Though she was drunk, after seeing Ji Chen get on the bike, she took the initiative to sit in the back seat and even conveniently put her arms around Ji Chen’s waist. Originally, Ji Chen was about to start the bike, but when Jiang Baiwan embraced him, Ji Chen immediately became stiff and almost fell down.

Wei Dao had already closed the shop door and was standing at the entrance with his arms folded and his eyes squinted, watching Ji Chen try to ride the electric bike. He saw Ji Chen tried a few more times before he finally rode the bike out smoothly. Wei Dao looked at Ji Chen’s back and then said to the driver on the side, “Hey, since the car is here, can you take me back?”

The driver, who also knew Wei Dao, shook his head helplessly. “Young Lady told me to go back and tell her who President Ji is with today.”

“Tell her what? That’s not necessary.” Wei Dao pulled open the car door and took the time to glare at the driver. “You think that little girl Ji Ying doesn’t know? She’s the smartest person in the entire Ji family. She knows everything.”

The driver didn’t refute Wei Dao’s words. It was clear that he thought so too.

Ji Chen was riding Jiang Baiwan’s electric bicycle. With the cold wind in front of him and the little alcoholic on his back, it was a double ordeal. Fortunately, the handlebar under President Ji’s hand was very steady. It wobbled a little at first, but then it went smoothly all the way. As he rode on, he could hear Jiang Baiwan behind him whispering something.

His ears were filled with the sound of the wind so Ji Chen consciously slowed down the speed as he tried to hear what Jiang Baiwan was saying clearly.

What he caught was, “Ji Chen, thank you for sending me home……”

Ji Chen’s heart softened all of a sudden. The corner of his mouth curled up and was just about to say ‘you’re welcome’, when Jiang Baiwan continued, “But I really can’t take the subway. I’ll get motion sickness.”

Ji Chen almost laughed out of anger. He sighed lightly and sped up, deciding to wait until they arrived at Jiang Baiwan’s house and let this silly girl sober up first up.

The e-bike turned a few intersections and Ji Chen skilfully drove Jiang Baiwan downstairs of her house. After locking the bicycle, Ji Chen quickly assisted Jiang Baiwan who was on the side. “All right, I’ll walk you to your door.”

Jiang Baiwan nodded obediently. “The door and the bike key are together, you can identify it yourself.”

Ji Chen was slightly startled as he turned his head to look at Jiang Baiwan. “……You’re sober?”

“I’ve never been drunk.” Jiang Baiwan said with a surprised expression. “Are you drunk? Why are you talking nonsense?”

……Not sober yet, still drunk.

Ji Chen stopped talking to Jiang Baiwan. He grabbed her wrist and led her towards the elevator. He was tall and long-legged, and because of nervousness, he wasn’t walking slowly, but Jiang Baiwan, who was following him, was drunk, so she couldn’t keep up with Ji Chen’s pace. After trotting for a while, Jiang Baiwan was dissatisfied and pulled Ji Chen back. “You walk slower. It’s too fast.”

Ji Chen, who was charging forward absorbed in his thoughts, was shocked, and then froze in place.

His hands, which were cold from riding in the wind, were suddenly wrapped by two hot hands. The touch of those two hands was different from his own, it was soft and delicate, as if they were boneless. They entangled and grabbed his.

Ji Chen’s heart was beating heavily, and the little deer, which had already stopped, started bumping into his chest frantically once again.
