When He Yuzhe settled everything and returned to the residence of He family alone, it was already late at night.

He gently opened the door, but it was dark inside. He Yuzhe frowned. He knew that Xiao Ruoyi was afraid of the dark, so she couldn't be alone in the dark.

He looked around anxiously. Sure enough, nobody was in the empty residence of He family. The lifeless scene made He Yuzhe's hand gradually clenched.

He narrowed eyes slightly as he looked up at the clock. It was already late at night. The moon was dimmed by clouds, and the wind blew hard.

He didn't want to ask about that women when went back to his room, but every step he took reminded him of Xiao Ruoyi's expression when she walked out of the conference room.

With a feeling of frustration, he gradually stopped and turned around to pick up the jacket he had just taken off. He frowned and quickly walked out.

The car sped out of the residence of He family. He Yuzhe's eyes were fixed on the front, and the veins in his palm were bulging due to the great force.

Xiao Ruoyi was always like this, which made him inexplicably annoyed. Every time he thought of her as a child of the Xiao family, he felt uncomfortable all over.

In the morning, he had seen everything in the conference room clearly and knew all the tricks that Bai Muya used. But when he saw Xiao Ruoyi's eyes, which were almost identical to Xiao Haotian's, he bit the words back that rose to his lips.

He shook his head slightly, trying not to think about Xiao Ruoyi. But it didn't work. Instead, he thought more about the faint scent of her body.

As the night deepened, He Yuzhe followed the direction of his phone and finally stopped at the entrance of a small bar. The dark bar reeked of alcohol, and the noise inside could be heard from time to time. The original white floor was stained. Everything there made He Yuzhe take a step back.

He took out a tissue to cover his nose to prevent himself from inhaling the alcohol. Thinking that Xiao Ruoyi was inside, he hesitated for a while but finally went in.

The bar was hot and filled with the smell of alcohol. Every step he took, he frowned more.

The familiar figure on the bar counter in the corner attracted He Yuzhe's attention. He turned around and walked quickly towards her.

"One more... One more drink..." Xiao Ruoyi sat at the bar counter and reached out her hand to the bartender. Her eyes were slightly blurred and seemed to be foggy.

There were already a few upside-down wine glasses, and the counter was in a mess. The music was so loud that Xiao Ruoyi impatiently knitted her brows.

She raised the glass and drained it in one gulp, and the wine stained her collar. Gradually, Xiao Ruoyi was a bit buzzed and slightly leaned over the counter.

Because of the alcohol, her head ached slightly and the scene before her eyes was a little blurry. She could only vaguely see a person sitting next to her.

"Hey Beautiful, are you alone? Can I buy you a drink?" She heard a strange voice.

Then Xiao Ruoyi propped herself up with her hands and looked up. "He Yuzhe, you bastard! How dare you come to me after you had ruined my family? It was all about money. I can give you..." Xiao Ruoyi was not sober anymore. She picked up the tissues and threw them all on the man.

"How could I hurt you? I like you so much." The man spoke in a gentle voice, while putting his hand on Xiao Ruoyi's shoulder, and narrowing his eyes to seize her up.

"Did you... Did you see me spilling coffee on that woman surnamed Bai? Why... Should I apologize?" Xiao Ruoyi stammered, but was pulled into that man's arms. She instinctively struggled, but it was useless.

The man pretended to comfort her while putingt his arm around Xiao Ruoyi's waist. He stood up and was about to walk out.

"Xiao Ruoyi, what are you doing?" Xiao Ruoyi was awakened a little by that serious voice. She looked up and saw He Yuzhe standing not far away in a suit that was out of place.

Her head ached again, but she subconsciously pushed away the man beside her, only then did she realize that the man in the flowery jacket was not He Yuzhe.

She staggered a few steps and almost fell to the ground.

He Yuzhe took a step forward and wrapped his arms around Xiao Ruoyi's shoulders, holding her tightly.

A smell of alcohol made He Yuzhe frown impatiently and turn his eyes away slightly to distance himself from Xiao Ruoyi in his arms.

He looked at the man who was snuggling up to Xiao Ruoyi just now. There was an air of murder in his eyes as he spoke in a cold voice. "You harassed my woman. Tell me, what should I do?"

Although he said calmly, every word was powerful and frightening.

The man in the flowery jacket was stunned for a moment. He looked at He Yuzhe's clothes and finally wussed out. He explained flatteringly, "I just thought it would be unsafe to leave this drunk lady alone and wanted to send her home. Since her boyfriend is here, I won't worry anymore."

"Get lost." He Yuzhe looked away and said with his lips slightly opened.

The man forced a smile, then turned around and disappeared into the crowd.

The smell of alcohol in the air made He Yuzhe frown impatiently. He was getting irritated when looked at Xiao Ruoyi, who was already hammered.

She seemed to be painful and her eyes were blurred. Her lips were slightly curled from time to time, and her hands and feet were a little restless.

A group of half-naked men and women around them were twisting their bodies in the deafening music. Because of He Yuzhe's appearance, a few women with heavy make-up even tried to strike up a conversation with him.

He Yuzhe was impatient and quickened his pace, but Xiao Ruoyi put all her weight on his shoulder, and it was hard to control her.

He simply scooped her up and held her firmly in his arms. The smell of alcohol permeated the air, and He Yuzhe slightly turned away.

"Who allowed you to drink so much? Did you forgot what I've told you? What if..." He Yuzhe spoke as if he was talking to himself. Xiao Ruoyi in his arms did not respond and her eyes were closed.

Fortunately, after walking through the corridor, the street lights were faintly visible.

The lady in his arms was restless, rubbing against He Yuzhe's chest and grabbing his collar. She wrapped her arms around He Yuzhe's neck to prop herself up. They were so close to each other.
