Chapter 57 Huo Zhizhou held Jiang Ruan in his arms

Jiang Ruan has a very low alcohol tolerance.

Two glasses of fruit wine with an alcohol content of 3-8 degrees will make her drunk, and three or four glasses will be enough to make her unconscious.

I've already drunk four small glasses of high-proof liquor; who knows what might happen if I drink any more.

"It's confirmed." Huo Zhizhou handed her a full glass of cool boiled water. His slender, white fingers, reflected in the crystal glass, were clearly defined and had a strange allure. "Drink up."

Jiang Ruan took it and immediately started chugging it down.

Seeing her like this, Huo Zhizhou's deep eyes grew even more silent.

He didn't know whether to be happy about her trust in him or worried about her lack of vigilance, since she drank from something that had been out of his sight without any suspicion.

"Alright." Jiang Ruan put down her wine glass; completely drunk, her judgment about alcohol was zero.

Huo Zhizhou agreed with her, saying, "Mm."

"Can I leave now?" Jiang Ruan had no idea that only the two of them were left in the private room.

Huo Zhizhou naturally took the bag from her hand and put his arm around her drunken body: "I'll take you home."

Jiang Ruan refused without even thinking: "No."

This is her truest thought from the bottom of her heart.

She really didn't want to get involved with him in any other unimportant ways.

"If you go out like that, believe me, something bad will happen in less than twenty minutes." Huo Zhizhou simply picked her up and carried her in his arms. "If you accidentally get hit by a car, who will be responsible, the driver or you?"

Jiang Ruan's mind was a little slow.

After he picked her up, her mind went blank. She couldn't even think straight. She just felt her head getting heavier and heavier, her eyelids getting heavy, and her hands and feet losing strength due to the numbness caused by alcohol.

She tried to reach out and grab it, but failed several times.

Seeing her like this, Huo Zhizhou felt a rare pang of regret.

She shouldn't have drunk the fourth glass of wine.

Mr. Song, who was in the corner, saw all of this. After confirming through the previous phone call that Jiang Ruan was Huo Zhizhou's ex-wife, he wisely refrained from going up to talk to her or stop her.

I left the hotel.

Huo Zhizhou carried her toward his car.

Before he could meet up with Assistant Jiang in the car, a figure suddenly rushed out from the corner and headed straight for him: "Jiang Ruan".

Huo Zhizhou paused in his steps.

Ye Yanzhi had already reached him.

"Give her to me, and I'll take her back." He met Huo Zhizhou's gaze, his attitude making it very clear.

Huo Zhizhou's eyes were indifferent as he glanced at him and walked past him.

Ye Yanzhi tried to stop him.

He went to pick up Sui Sui from school, only to be told by the teacher that Sui Sui's father had already sent someone to pick her up. He didn't think much of it; the two weren't completely divorced yet, so it was normal for Huo Zhizhou to pick up Sui Sui. He sent a message to Jiang Ruan and immediately turned back to find her.

To her surprise, as soon as she arrived, she saw Huo Zhizhou carrying her out of the room.

Jiang Ruan was clearly drunk.

It goes without saying that Huo Zhizhou did this on purpose.

Assistant Jiang, accompanied by two bodyguards, stopped him in time: "Miss Jiang, our boss will send her back, so Mr. Ye need not trouble himself."

Ye Yanzhi ignored all of this and tried to break through their defenses to rush in front of Huo Zhizhou and snatch Jiang Ruan from his hands.

But Jiang's assistant and his bodyguards were no pushovers either.

After several rounds, Ye Yanzhi still couldn't squeeze through.

"He's being ambiguous with Su Anran on one hand, and trying to get attention from Jiang Ruan on the other." Ye Yanzhi said to Huo Zhizhou in a particularly loud voice, "The scumbag skills of the Second Young Master Huo are truly unheard of."

Huo Zhizhou stopped and glanced at him.

Ye Yanzhi stared at him, looking ready to fight him to the bitter end.

“I know you like Jiang Ruan.” Huo Zhizhou’s thin lips parted slightly. “Although I don’t know what excuse you used to keep her from doubting your feelings for her, I’m pretty sure you love her.”

Ye Yanzhi said naturally, "Little Jiang is so outstanding, who wouldn't like her?"

Huo Zhizhou said, word by word, "I'm referring to romantic love between men and women."

"It's too narrow to describe our relationship as just romantic love." Ye Yanzhi walked over and stopped a step away from him, glancing at Jiang Ruan, whose eyes were closed in his arms. "My feelings for her and Su Zhu transcend all emotions in the world."

Huo Zhizhou stared at him with unfathomable eyes.

Under normal circumstances, Ye Yanzhi should admit his feelings for Jiang Ruan in order to provoke him.

"All this talk makes you nothing more than a coward who can't even admit he likes someone," he said.

"You're quite bold," Ye Yanzhi said, his tone clearly mocking, "so bold that you still have the energy to confess your feelings to other women while you're with her."

Huo Zhizhou's eyes darkened slightly.

I didn't explain what he was saying that didn't exist.

“You should know she hates you.” Ye Yanzhi’s expression gradually became serious. “If she wakes up tomorrow morning and finds out that you were the one who sent her back, she will only dislike you more.”

"It doesn't matter if you don't like me a little bit." Huo Zhizhou carried her into the car.

Seeing that the matter was already settled and could not be changed, and that he had no way to snatch Jiang Ruan away under the noses of those bodyguards, Ye Yanzhi simply climbed into the passenger seat.

He deftly pulled over the seatbelt and fastened it.

They seemed determined not to go down.

Seeing this, Assistant Jiang subconsciously looked at Huo Zhizhou in the back seat and said, "BOSS."

"Let's go to Fengyue Huating." Huo Zhizhou settled Jiang Ruan into a more comfortable position and said casually, "Let him sit if he wants to. The car is so big, I don't mind bringing an extra dog."

Ye Yanzhi: "..."

No wonder Su Zhu scolded him so harshly.

With that infuriating mouth of his, he'd even commit a crime to have it cut off!

As the car drove forward, Ye Yanzhi kept checking behind him through the rearview mirror to make sure Huo Zhizhou didn't make any unwanted advances before he felt a little relieved.

After a journey of more than forty minutes, the car arrived at Fengyue Huating.

Just as Huo Zhizhou was about to carry Jiang Ruan out of the car and go upstairs, Ye Yanzhi stopped him, a slight smile on his lips: "Young Master Huo must have other things to take care of. You can leave Xiao Jiang to me."

Huo Zhizhou raised his eyelashes.

Ye Yanzhi's gaze fell on his pocket: "Your phone seems to be ringing."

Assistant Jiang, following his boss's instructions, took out the phone number. After a moment's hesitation upon seeing the caller ID, he said, "It's Miss Su calling."

"Receive." Huo Zhizhou said this very simply.

Ye Yanzhi had doubts.

He's here and he's still answering the phone. Isn't he afraid that the other person will tell everyone about him holding Jiang Ruan?

Assistant Jiang slid the answer button, turned the volume down, and held the phone to Huo Zhizhou's ear. As soon as the call connected, Su Anran's aggrieved voice came through: "Zhizhou, why aren't you back yet? Is the company very busy?"

"Jiang Ruan is drunk, and Sui Sui is home alone," Huo Zhizhou told the truth.

"Then you take care of her first." Su Anran knew what it meant for him to tell her the truth, so she didn't dare to cry or make a fuss. "I can manage on my own."

Huo Zhizhou's voice was deep: "Okay, I'll spend the whole day with you tomorrow."

Su Anran: "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Huo Zhizhou picked up Jiang Ruan and headed for the elevator, leaving Ye Yanzhi bewildered in the wind.

For the first time, he felt his mind go blank. Shouldn't Su Anran normally act up? Whether she pretended to be wronged or made a scene, she had to get Huo Zhizhou back.

How come it's over with just a simple "I'll spend the day with you tomorrow"?
