```Zhu Yulan also saw the note on his phone screen, yuck... so cheesy.
Xu Musen arrived at the entrance.
"Xu Musen, have you been to the mall?" An Nuannuan's sweet voice ca through.
"I'm already here, ran into an acquaintance, I'm currently in the drink shop on the third floor, are you done shopping?"
"Yep, we're almost finished buying, then we'll co find you!"
"No worries, I can also co look for you later, buy a few more pieces of clothing, don't say I'm too stingy to spend money on my wife."
"Ehehe…"
An Nuannuan was always easy to coax, giggling as she hung up the phone.
"Is he coming?" Yao Mingyue asked as she walked over.
"Mhm, he said he ran into an acquaintance and is on the third floor right now, he'll co find us later."
"Acquaintance…"
But Yao Mingyue's eyes narrowed instantly, her automatic cheat-detecting radar had captured sothing in a flash.
"Did he say who the acquaintance was?"
"Nope."
"...Heh heh."
Yao Mingyue, with narrowed eyes, already slled sothing, hmm... the scent of a little vixen!
...
anwhile,
Zhu Yulan watched Xu Musen standing at the door on the phone.
She watched his face filled with an indulgent smile while he spoke.
Although he acted shalessly many tis, it sohow felt incredibly pure and sincere, and she suddenly felt a bit envious of that girl.
If, if she also had soone like that by her side, wouldn't a lot of things be different...
Zhu Yulan shook her head, the alcohol was making her a bit dizzy, her mind was filled with all sorts of ssy thoughts at the mont.
She was envious of An Nuannuan and a bit jealous of Yao Mingyue.
Why could her childhood friend be so good, if her own childhood friend was Xu Musen... perhaps she would have given in.
She was startled by her own thoughts, what did she an by if it were him she would have given in... but it seed to linger in her mind, refusing to leave.
She ordered another bottle of alcohol, opened it, and took a big gulp, even coughing several tis from the burn.
"Boss Zhu, why are you drinking again?"
Xu Musen ca back and saw that she had opened another bottle of alcohol, he was also sowhat troubled, given her ability to knock back the drinks, it seed she was really distressed.
"What's wrong with drinking? Are you even reluctant to spend the money for a bottle?"
Zhu Yulan bit her lip, but she did not dare to look at Xu Musen.
"That's not it, it's just that I'm worried about your health.
Xu Musen shook his head. A drunk person, just like a child, Xu Musen took out a wet wipe and passed it over to help her clean the alcohol from the corner of her mouth.
Zhu Yulan's heart was in turmoil, looking at Xu Musen's face so close and his concerned eyes.
For the first ti, she felt her heart race uncontrollably in front of a guy.
"I... want to go back, I'll find a way to pay you back this money really soon."
"We're friends, lending a hand is what friends do, I believe you will succeed."
Xu Musen didn't try to stop her.
Zhu Yulan looked at his smile. From the mont she decided to start her own business, whether it was her family, her father, or even her second sister... everyone said she couldn't succeed.
The only one who said he believed in her was this man right before her, who had duped her several tis.
Zhu Yulan's body swayed slightly, she looked at Xu Musen, revealing a drunk smile.
"Of course, I will succeed. When I beco a top female tycoon, I can give you a hand too!"
```
"ssage received."
Xu Musen cleared his throat, "But how are you going to get back?"
With the amount of alcohol she had from that bottle, it felt like she would be shaky even standing up.
"I'll have Xiao Tao co pick up... I'm not... um..."
Zhu Yulan said, but as soon as she stood up, she felt dizzy. The caffeine in the coffee could already make one's mind excited, and with the addition of alcohol and emotional agitation, she felt sowhat faint as she abruptly stood up, her whole body stumbling and on the verge of falling.
Xu Musen's quick reflexes allowed him to catch her, and Zhu Yulan felt her head spinning, but she imdiately fell into a warm embrace.
"Are you okay?"
"I..."
Zhu Yulan felt a little groggy, but for so reason, she found an extraordinary sense of security in Xu Musen's arms.
So, this is what it feels like to be spoiled and held in soone's arms?
This feeling, she hadn't experienced it since her mother left, since her eldest sister left.
"You know, Boss Zhu, if you can't drink, you shouldn't show off. Your tolerance wouldn't even get you a seat at the kids' table in my hotown..."
Xu Musen said helplessly.
However, his nagging fell on Zhu Yulan's ears as if evoking another gentle figure hugging her and soothing her softly.
"You, so things you don't have to be strong for, you have your sister here..."
"Sister..."
In her haze, Zhu Yulan murmured as though she feared the person before her would disappear. Xu Musen had intended to set her aside, but Zhu Yulan suddenly wrapped her hands around his neck.
Xu Musen was taken aback. Zhu Yulan was thin, though she was often teased by Yao Mingyue for her open-heartedness.
But a girl is still a girl, still soft, and she indeed carried a faint, clear scent of bamboo on her.
Xu Musen planned to let her rest on the sofa chair first, then call Xiao Tao to take her boss back.
But with Zhu Yulan clinging to his neck, it was difficult to put her down, and Xu Musen could only adjust his posture to gently lay her on the sofa, which made it look as if he was on top of her.
"Yo, it looks tough, need a hand?"
A pleasant voice suddenly ca from behind.
Thinking it was a waiter, Xu Musen instinctively replied, "No need, I can handle it..."
But then he twitched his ear; sothing was off, why did that voice sound so familiar?
It was tinged with a hint of jealousy and a dark tone...
Xu Musen swiftly turned around, and there Yao Mingyue was, biting down on her silver tooth, a little tiger tooth gleaming with a cold light, her phoenix eyes narrowing into an extrely dangerous curve!
And beside her, An Nuannuan was looking on with clear eyes, showing no apparent anger, but her cheeks puffed slightly at the sight of the two in a compromising position.
"..."
Xu Musen had an inkling that the word "death" was looming before his eyes.
"Well, you see, let explain..."
Xu Musen exerted force in his hands, trying to place this hot potato of a lady onto the chair.
But Zhu Yulan was too dazed, and the more Xu Musen pushed her, the tighter she clung to him.
In her daze, it seed as if she dread of her sister's warm embrace drifting further and further away...
"No, don't leave ..."
She muttered, her entire being almost desperate to cling to Xu Musen.
Xu Musen: "..."
"Hehehe..."
He turned to look at Yao Mingyue and An Nuannuan, both of whom seed to flash the sa dangerous shimr in their eyes, sending a shiver down Xu Musen's spine.
One yandere was more than he could deal with, let alone two.
My life is over...
