Gu Xiyao took a few steps back, looking drowsy, clearly just woken up by his doorbell. Seeing Zhu Yiming questioning so guardedly, she instantly beca more alert and hurriedly said, "Such a strong sll of alcohol, did Little Uncle drink?"
Zhu Yiming didn’t care about much else, only thinking to get the person inside first. He walked in with big steps and placed the person on the sofa. The heating in the house was on full, but Gu Xiyao still quickly grabbed a blanket and covered Lu Beichen.
Although he was dead drunk, he was just deeply asleep, with that captivating face of his still bearing a hint of gentleness.
Gu Xiyao glanced at him, then said to Zhu Yiming, "Thank you, Doctor Zhu, for bringing Little Uncle back. But, how much did he actually drink? Little Uncle rarely drinks."
Zhu Yiming didn’t answer, instead he asked, "Why are you here?"
"Last night, Nian Nian called crying, saying Little Uncle had a fight with Tongtong. I was worried because he was ho alone so late. I ca over to comfort him for a long ti, and he only fell asleep when I stayed with him. It was very late by then, so he’s still not awake."
She spoke gently and politely, without a single misplaced word, and Zhu Yiming’s expression slightly softened, "Xiyao, you are soone I’ve watched grow up. Beichen is like this now because of Tongtong. Nian Nian is young and doesn’t understand, but you shouldn’t go along with his antics, causing unnecessary misunderstandings."
His words made clear that Lu Beichen cared about Ji Niandong, also suggesting she shouldn’t get too close to Lu Sinian.
Gu Xiyao understood perfectly, nodding slightly, "I understand Doctor Zhu’s aning. But saying this, it’s really unfair to . After all, this is my Little Uncle, so Nian Nian is my little brother. I wouldn’t feel comfortable if he called crying at ho alone at night. As for misunderstandings, I’m also troubled. I’m clearly Ning Zesheng’s fiancée, yet sohow, rumors say I have a child with my Little Uncle."
Although she was explaining her grievances, she spoke in a friendly manner, appearing straightforward and transparent.
Zhu Yiming couldn’t say much more; indeed, what she said was reasonable and logical.
"I watched the brothers all night, and I’m a bit tired. I have a eting this afternoon. I’ll leave him to you then!" Zhu Yiming also spoke politely.
"Don’t worry, Doctor Zhu. I’m well aware of what you’re concerned about. Little Uncle and Tongtong are in this state, Little Uncle must be very upset too. I can guess the reasons behind their issues, and when he wakes up, I’ll try to talk to him. After all, I can see that Tongtong really loves Little Uncle and might not actually mind."
ntioning this, Zhu Yiming had the sa thought, just curiously asking, "You’re clear about their situation?"
Gu Xiyao nodded, her face still wearing a casual smile, "Doctor Zhu, you forgot that I grew up with Little Uncle. When he went to Paris for a business deal, he happened to take back to my dad’s house. At that ti, we were both in Paris."
"I kind of forgot about that," Zhu Yiming laughed mockingly, "That’s why back then, I almost believed you were Nian Nian’s mother. But luckily, I’ve known Beichen all these years. You’re just his little niece, and he’s not the kind of person who would harm his niece, not even under the influence of drugs!"
Gu Xiyao gave an almost imperceptible shiver, then turned to smile at him.
