n“Alright then, I’ll try to stall for time. Come as quickly as possible.”

nIf a stare could kill, Young Master Ming would have died countless times in that short span of time.

nThe man behind him withdrew his gaze when he saw that Ming Ansheng was about to hang up. He turned around soundlessly and walked back to the private room.

nThe door opened and sure enough, the tiny woman who was still sitting up before he left was now lying down on the couch.

nHer petite body lay there with her hands properly placed on her belly. She was sleeping peacefully and didn’t seem like she was drunk.

nWith big steps he strode towards her, bending down to pick her up. He casually carried her handbag too and without a word to the others, he turned around and left.

nSuddenly a gust of wind blew towards them when they stepped out. It was accompanied by a chilly breeze coming in their direction.

nThe woman in his arms felt the chill and curled her body. In that instant, Yan Rusheng was struck with a pang of guilt and he almost flung her away.

nHe lowered his head to look at her—she was still sleeping peacefully as if nothing had happened earlier.

n“Stupid woman, I’m going to sell you off.” Yan Rusheng gritted his teeth and reprimanded her fiercely.

nHowever, his voice was soft and he spoke cautiously.

nHe put Wen Xuxu down when he was near the car. He supported her with one hand and with the other opened the car door, and then stuffed her inside.

nThe next second he rushed to get in the car, and after starting the engine he drove off in a rush.

nStopping the car at a red light, Yan Rusheng stole a glance at the sleeping woman through the rearview mirror. She was still lying in the same position when Yan Rusheng had laid her down. Her body was tightly curled up with her ponytail loosened and hanging limply.

nIt made one feel like protecting her.

nOh, damn it. To his surprise, his heart had been pounding for some time after seeing this scene.

nAnd god damn it, why did he ‘abduct’ her?

nYoung Master Yan was well aware that his action was classified as an ‘abduction’.

nBut he had already ‘abducted’ her, so he couldn’t possibly send her back, right?

nHe was feeling vexed at the moment when suddenly his cellphone rang. He glanced at the screen and as expected, it was from Ming Ansheng.

nHe answered the call and Ming Ansheng’s anxious voice instantly sounded over the phone. “Third Yan, where did you go? Have you seen Xuxu?”

nYoung Master Yan looked back guiltily to check on Wen Xuxu. He responded after he saw that there weren’t any signs of her waking up anytime soon. “She’s tipsy and kept pestering me to send her home.”

n“Really?” Ming Ansheng asked skeptically.

nYan Rusheng immediately adopted his Young Master Yan’s usual authority and command and retorted in a low voice, “Do you think I’m lying to you? You don’t know how irritating she is.”

n“Oh.” Ming Ansheng believed him. “Are you sending her back home or to your place?”

nDespite knowing the answer, Yan Rusheng asked, “Why are you so concerned about her?”

nMing Ansheng replied honestly, “Ah Heng is looking for her.”

nYan Rusheng originally wanted to say that he was sending Wen Xuxu back to her own apartment. The words were already in his mouth when he unexpectedly changed his mind. “I’m a little tipsy as well, so I won’t be heading to her place. I’m going straight back home, and anyway the old madam has been clamoring for Xuxu to visit her these past few days.”

nWhen he used the old madam as a reason, Ming Ansheng instantly deflated like a balloon. “Alright then.”

nYan Rusheng hung up and a cunning look flashed through his eyes, the corners rippling with evilness.

nAfter reaching the entrance of the courtyard, he made a turn and the car entered the courtyard slowly.
