Chapter 1087 - 1083: Drunk
Chapter 1087 - 1083: Drunk
An Ran hugged his arm, her cheeks flushed with a rosy hue, and called out again with her eyes tightly shut, "Brother...""Mmm."
She called out several times, but each time she only called him "brother" and then fell silent.
Yet every time, Chi Cheng responded to her tirelessly.
They returned all the way to the Chi Mansion.
During these days while An’s mother was in the hospital, Chi’s father had been staying at the hospital with her.
In the large mansion, only Chi Cheng and An Ran were there.
After parking the car, Chi Cheng carried An Ran horizontally all the way to her bedroom.
He placed the young girl on the bed, his actions carrying a touch of gentleness even he hadn’t noticed.
Just as he was about to get up, a pair of small hands grabbed onto his sleeve.
An Ran looked at him with drunken eyes and finally expressed her grievances under the influence of alcohol, "Brother, you know, I really hate you..."
Chi Cheng’s eyes were awash with emotion, his thin lips gradually pressed together.
"I hate you... obviously, you’re an outright demon, obviously, you’re a deceitful bastard, obviously, you don’t like me, obviously, you’re just with me to take revenge on my mom..." An Ran’s voice grew lower as she hiccuped and grumbled, "You’re clearly so bad, but I can’t be as carefree as you..."
His feelings for her were an act.
But An Ran’s feelings were not.
"You’ve had too much to drink today." Chi Cheng rubbed An Ran’s small head, "Just lie down, I’ll get you a glass of water."
An Ran was already drunk, still clutching his sleeve and muttering to herself, "Why do you have to be so cruel? You’re right next to me, everything seems just like before, but I know we can never go back..."
Chi Cheng’s back stiffened, his voice hoarse, "An Ran."
"Mmm, I know." An Ran nodded, reaching out to hug his neck, "I know what you want to say, just let me hug you like before one last time."
She had drunk too much and didn’t know what she was doing.
But Chi Cheng hadn’t drunk too much, and he was very aware of what he should do.
He should push her away.
But Chi Cheng didn’t move at all, allowing An Ran to hug his neck, like a little rabbit, her soft body pressed closely against him.
Briefly and beautifully relying on him.
Chi Cheng looked down and saw An Ran with her eyes closed, appearing half asleep.
[I only kiss women I like]
These were the words Chi Cheng had just told An Ran that morning.
Chi Cheng moved his gaze away from her lips, closing his eyes slightly.
In his mind, the letter his mother left before her suicide floated up again.
In that letter, Chi’s mother instructed Chi Cheng to ensure that, many years later, he would return the suffering inflicted upon her a thousandfold upon the An mother and daughter.
Otherwise, Chi’s mother would never rest in peace.
This was his mother’s last wish while alive.
It had to be avenged a thousandfold.
Avenged.
Chi Cheng opened his eyes, regaining some calm in them.
He silently turned and walked out.
The door shut tightly, and he walked to a bar in the small living room on the second floor, his steps slow.
The living room lights weren’t on, but the lights around the bar were motion-sensor activated.
As he walked over, the dim yellow lights cast down on him, outlining layers of shadows.
Chi Cheng leaned casually against the high stool.
Suddenly, he raised his eyes, turned around, picked up a wine glass, and skillfully opened a bottle of strong liquor, pouring half a glass, then tilted his head back and drank it down.
Setting the glass down, he walked back to An Ran’s bedroom with decisive strides.
An Ran naturally hadn’t fallen asleep, and upon hearing the sound of the door opening, she opened her hazy, drunken eyes again, "Brother..."
Listening to her softly calling him brother.
He got drunk.
Yes, let’s just say he got drunk.
-
The next day.
When An Ran woke up, she felt as if her head was about to explode from the pain.
Staring blankly in a daze...
What happened yesterday?
She seemed to have drunk until she blacked out.
She only remembered drinking by the lake with Ruge, but had no recollection of how she got back or what happened afterward.
When she turned her head to look...
Ah—!
It was actually Chi Cheng!
Chi Cheng was sleeping next to her.
"Chi Cheng! What, what did you do to me?"
Chi Cheng lounged loosely, like a devil, propping his face up. The gentle tenderness of last night was long gone.
He smirked with a hint of mischief, "Ranran, you clearly know already. Do you really need me to say it again?"
"You—" An Ran was both ashamed and annoyed.
An Ran clutched her head.
She knew drinking only led to trouble.
From now on, no matter how upset she was, she would definitely not drink recklessly again!
-
After Chi Cheng left, An Ran headed straight to the shower.
She took a thorough shower and changed into clean clothes before coming out.
When she went downstairs, she saw Chi Cheng had also changed into a clean white shirt, sitting elegantly at the dining table, sipping coffee while flipping through a document.
An Ran was momentarily dazed, wanting to avoid Chi Cheng, but the housekeeper who came to cook breakfast had already called out to her, "Miss An Ran, please have breakfast."
"I’ll eat later," An Ran said, sitting on the sofa in the living room.
After all, it’s Saturday, no cram school today.
Chi Cheng put down his coffee cup, glanced over, "Come here."
An Ran: "I’ll eat later."
"Do you want me to bring it over and feed you myself?" His voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable firmness.
An Ran bit her lower lip tightly.
So what is it? Is Chi Cheng enjoying controlling her?
In the housekeeper’s eyes, she and he were just siblings from different parents.
An Ran was worried he might actually do something inappropriate, so she quickly got up and walked to the dining table.
Chi Cheng sat there elegantly, reminding her, "Breakfast must be eaten on time, or it’s not good for your stomach."
The housekeeper was so charmed by Chi Cheng’s gentleness that she became his number one fan.
In her eyes, the young master was truly noble and gentle, all those refined and gentlemanly words didn’t suffice to describe him!
An Ran sipped her milk, glancing at the housekeeper.
In this world, perhaps only she knew how manipulative Chi Cheng was, how much of a demon he was.
Just then, Chi Cheng’s phone rang.
He glanced at it and answered.
"Chi Cheng, it’s me." On the other end was Lin Wanqing’s cheerful voice.
Though the voice was unclear, An Ran could still recognize it.
Chi Cheng remained indifferent, "Do you need something?"
"Let’s meet and talk. I’m on Xianning Road. Come quickly, I’m waiting for you."
After hanging up, Chi Cheng pushed back his chair and stood up.
He walked over and ruffled An Ran’s hair, "Finish your breakfast."
Then, without another word, he picked up his car keys and left.
An Ran was eating, but felt as if everything was stuck in her throat.
After receiving Lin Wanqing’s call, Chi Cheng had left without a second thought.
And she had no right to ask what he and Lin Wanqing were going to do.
She remembered when they were in the small coastal town, Chi Cheng told An Ran... the lowest way to take revenge on someone was to make them feel physical pain.
It seemed true now.
Chi Cheng was indeed impressive.
He could harm people invisibly.
"Who was the girl that just called the young master? I heard a girl’s voice, and it was quite pleasant. Could the young master have a girlfriend?" The housekeeper looked gossipy, "As soon as he received her call, he went to see her without hesitation, that girl must be so lucky."
An Ran put down her things, "I’m full."
The housekeeper looked at An Ran with her food barely half-eaten, "Miss An Ran, why did you eat so little?"
Back in her room, An Ran took out her bag and slung it over her shoulder, sending a WeChat message to Jiang Fan Yu: I’m ready to head out now.
Soon, Jiang Fan Yu replied excitedly: I’ll come pick you up!
An Ran: Okay.
Before long, a BMW arrived outside Chi Mansion.
The housekeeper watched from the window as a young man opened the passenger door for An Ran, and she got into the BMW.
What? What’s going on today?
The young master and the young lady both went out on "dates" suddenly?
The house phone rang.
The housekeeper hurried to answer, hearing Chi Cheng’s elegant voice, "Aunt Zhang, is there a document on the dining table?"
"Yes, there is one."
"I forgot to mention before I left, someone will come to pick it up in a few minutes."
"Got it, I understand." The housekeeper suddenly added, "Young master, I just saw Miss An Ran go out with a young man."
