âOkay, okay. Thank you, brother. Weâll get lost far away.â After He Ming let go, the two of them scrambled out of the private room.
Hu Shanshan was stunned. She did not expect He Ming to defeat the two scoundrels with just a few punches and kicks.
Brother He was amazing, as expected of the man she fancied.
She had sobered up when He Ming was fighting with the two men.
She was relieved when the two of them finally left.
âBrother He, youâre amazing. Youâre my idol.â Hu Shanshan thought that all men liked flattery.
âNo more trouble. Better go home now. Donât come to this kind of sketchy places in the future, especially you girls. Youâre at a disadvantage.â He Ming advised in a brotherly fashion.
âOkay.â Hu Shanshan replied softly.
âLetâs go, Iâll send you two home.â He Ming walked out of the private room and went to the front desk to settle their bill.
âShanshan, when did you get to know such a fine man? He can fight, heâs generous and handsome. This is the first time Iâve met such a man.â Hu Shanshanâs friend whispered to her.
âWeâre just friends. Itâs not the kind of relationship you assume.â Hu Shanshan slapped her friendâs arm.
âCome on. He rushed over after you called. He must care about you too. Otherwise, why would he get involved in this mess?â Hu Shanshanâs friend shared her analysis.
Hu Shanshan linked arms with her and followed He Ming out.
Hu Shanshanâs friend looked at He Mingâs tall figure and suggested,
âShanshan, nowâs a good opportunity. You can use being drunk as an excuse and fall into his bed. Make him yours.â
âWhat nonsense are you talking about? Iâll never do such a thing.â Hu Shanshan wanted to make He Ming hers too but she wouldnât show it.
If her friends found out that she was the one chasing the man, theyâd probably make fun of her for the rest of her life.
After all, she was a goddess in the eyes of her friends. There was no man she couldnât conquer.
âItâs not really throwing yourself at him when youâre pursuing love.â Her friend added.
Hu Shanshan smiled.
He Ming brought his car to the driveway and Hu Shanshan got in the front passenger seat while her friend sat in the back.
âBrother He, please drop off my friend first. Her place is nearer.â Hu Shanshan then told him her friendâs address.
Hu Shanshan stared at He Mingâs large, sculpted hand holding the steering wheel steadily the whole way.
They finally arrived at her friendâs place. After Hu Shanshanâs friend said goodbye to them, Hu Shanshan said to He Ming, âBrother He, please drop me off at a hotel. I smell like alcohol now, and I canât explain it to my parents if I go home. I told them before I came out tonight that Iâll be spending the night at
Xiaomeiâs place. Xiaomei is the girl from just now.â
Hu Shanshan looked at He Ming with her pitiful and sparkling eyes.
âItâs too late at night now. Itâs not safe for a girl to be alone. Go home and explain to Uncle and Auntie.â He Ming frowned.
âItâs fine. Iâll disturb them if I go home so late at night.â Hu Shanshan explained.
âIf youâre worried, you can walk me to my room before you go home.â Hu Shanshan continued.
He Ming had no choice but to do as she said, but he was also frustrated that he had to come out tonight to deal with Hu Shanshanâs mess that he hadnât even had time to call Xiaomeng.
He checked his phone earlier but there was still no reply from Xiaomeng. He couldnât help but feel a little worried. However, when he thought about how Xiaomeng could sometimes be so engrossed with her work that sheâd forget about everything else, he felt a little less nervous..
