Ning Xixi’s heart jumped, "Where is he? Is he alright?"
Seeing how anxious she was about Ji Yebai, Xiao Xichen felt a stir of suspicion in his heart.
Could it be that he had misunderstood his sister-in-law?
"I got a call from a friend this morning, he’s still at the bar..."
"Which bar?"
"The one we often go to..." Before Xiao Xichen could finish, Ning Xixi dropped a "Thanks" and dashed out.
Xiao Xichen was stunned, "Hey, hey? Sister-in-law, wait for me!"
Seeing how angry Ji Yebai looked, wouldn’t it be terrible if she went and they started arguing again? Wouldn’t that be the death of him?
"Ying ying ying, You Ruran~ save me!" He immediately went to cling to Cheng Youran’s leg for help in his pathetic state.
Ning Xixi flagged down a car at the school gate, gave the address, and urged in desperation, "Driver, please hurry."
-
After paying the fare, Ning Xixi rushed into the bar.
The bar was empty in the morning. Ning Xixi stopped a waiter, "Where is Ji Yebai?"
"Mr. Ji..." The waiter looked her up and down, "What’s your name?"
"Ning Xixi." Although she wondered why the waiter asked, Ning Xixi still answered.
The waiter’s expression turned severe, "Sorry, Miss Ning, Mr. Ji has left orders that if a woman named ’Ning Xixi’ comes looking for him, he won’t see her!"
"What?"
Ji Yebai didn’t want to see her?
Ning Xixi stood there dumbfounded, a sharp pain rising in her heart.
No! She had to find him and get a clear answer!
"Tell me where he is! If you try to hide it, do you believe I can get you fired in a minute?" Ning Xixi threatened, fierce on the outside but nervous on the inside.
The waiter sneered, "Miss, you must be joking..."
"Help! Indecency!" Ning Xixi yelled at the top of her lungs. The waiter’s face instantly changed, and he covered Ning Xixi’s mouth, "Good heavens, are you trying to kill me?"
Their bar had strict management, and the manager was also there today. If things got out of hand and the manager saw, he might really be fired!
"Mmm hmm..." Ning Xixi glared at him with her eyes.
The waiter had no choice, "I’m scared of you, I’ll take you to him!"
-
Opening the door to the private room, the rich smell of alcohol and smoke wafted out, and the floor was littered with empty bottles.
Beer, red wine, white liquor, whiskey, vodka... it was shocking.
"There, Mr. Ji should be resting in the inner suite. Miss Ning, you can’t tell him I brought you here!"
"Got it."
Ning Xixi stepped forward and twisted the doorknob.
Pushing open the door revealed a different world.
Inside was a suite no less luxurious than a presidential one, always reserved for Ji Yebai.
There was a lump under the covers on the bed. Ning Xixi ran over, lifted the covers, and sure enough, it was Ji Yebai.
Even in his sleep, his brows were still tightly furrowed.
"Are you troubled by something..." Ning Xixi murmured to herself, her voice soft, afraid to wake him.
"Erxi..." Ji Yebai, in his sleep, suddenly mumbled, and Ning Xixi quickly held his hand, "I’m here, Dabai, how are you? Do you need water?"
Ji Yebai clutched her hand back, so hard that it made Ning Xixi bite her lip.
He mumbled something unclear, and then Ji Yebai suddenly said fiercely, "Get out, go away!"
Even though she knew he was dreaming, Ning Xixi’s face still turned pale in an instant.
