Chapter 681 - 679: Come, Let’s Sleep Together
A wise saying goes: Don’t argue with fools, don’t take drunken people too seriously.Someone was lying on the bed like a master, watching Yuan Yumeng struggle to climb up, kneeling at his feet, her small hands first helping him untie his shoelaces—
One shoe, then the other.
After taking off his shoes, she felt completely exhausted, so she casually threw the shoes under the bed. Just as she was about to climb down, she noticed the man pouting again, like someone had taken his lollipop.
Oh come on, seriously?
Huo Junting acts like a child when he’s drunk.
No drunken antics, no noise, just being clingy?
Yuan Yumeng crawled over on her knees, reached out and touched his forehead, "What’s the matter this time?"
Could he please stop looking at her like that!
The man reached out and grabbed her pajamas, pulling her into his arms with a tug, "Come on, let’s sleep together."
"S-sleep together?" Yuan Yumeng was dumbfounded.
Before she could break free from the man’s embrace, she heard a "thud" at the door, like something had fallen to the ground—
She thought, oh no.
Turning her head towards the door, sure enough, she saw Sister-in-law Zhang with an awkward expression. This is bad, now even jumping into the Yellow River wouldn’t clear her name.
"Sister-in-law Zhang, don’t misunderstand, he, he’s drunk. I have no idea how this happened. Could you watch over him? I’m going back to my room to sleep."
After saying that, she blushed, got off the bed, didn’t dare look at Sister-in-law Zhang’s eyes, and rushed out of the room.
——
Yuan Yumeng returned to her room flushed and with a racing heartbeat, throwing herself under the covers and tightly covering her head. She wondered what Sister-in-law Zhang would think. Though she explained herself, who would believe such a reason in that situation?
Fortunately, Huo Junting was really drunk and probably wouldn’t remember anything after sleeping it off.
Yes, that’s definitely it.
With that thought, Yuan Yumeng fell asleep with her head covered, but had a nightmare-filled night.
The new morning came, and she was drenched in cold sweat, sticky and uncomfortable, so she immediately got up to shower and dress before going downstairs for breakfast.
Walking down the stairs, everything from last night was still vivid in her mind. With each step, her heartbeat quickened a bit, and the scar on her lip constantly reminded her of what happened—
Finally feeling fed up, she comforted herself by thinking, it’s not like they had a one-night stand, why should she be so scared?
Thinking this, she swaggered into the dining room.
Everything in the dining room was exactly like yesterday morning, making her feel as if it was yesterday.
But Yuan Yumeng knew it wasn’t.
Because Sister-in-law Zhang, standing next to Huo Junting, was looking at her with a peculiar expression, making her feel completely uncomfortable.
She greeted awkwardly, "Good morning, everyone! Wow, crab roe buns today, my favorite. These are super delicious."
"Lin Zheng, you must try them, they’re a famous dish in Hong Kong."
Lin Zheng didn’t seem interested in the so-called famous dish; he held his chopsticks and stared at Yuan Yumeng intently, or more precisely, at her lips.
"Meng Meng, what happened to your mouth?"
Yuan Yumeng immediately covered her mouth, "N-nothing, just got bitten by a mosquito by accident."
"That must’ve been one huge mosquito!" Lin Zheng remarked, clearly skeptical.
Sister-in-law Zhang chimed in at an inopportune moment, "That’s not right! Yesterday you said you bit your lip on some snacks."
Yuan Yumeng: "..."
Sister-in-law Zhang, no one would think you’re mute if you stay silent!
At that moment, the man who had been silent all along glanced over lightly, "What’s really going on?"
