Sheng Nian shook her head gently. “No, I’ll just stay here for a while. Don’t bother me.”

How could Lu Ming leave? He had been waiting for this moment.

He patiently put on a caring and considerate appearance, took the initiative to sit next to Sheng Nian, supported her shoulders, and gently embraced her, saying, “You’re in this condition, how can I leave you alone here? After all, we were once a married couple. Is there anything you can’t trust about me?”

Sheng Nian sneered in her heart but deliberately showed a puzzled look on her face. “You can go. I don’t want to see you. If your hands have touched someone else, don’t touch me again. I find it dirty.”

She even used her hand to push Lu Ming’s shoulder, but she looked weak as if the medicine was taking its toll. However, to Lu Ming, it seemed like she was playing hard to get.

Lu Ming knew that deep down, Sheng Nian still cared about him. He couldn’t hide his excitement and said, “Nian Nian, I was wrong about everything in the past. I promise to be completely devoted to you from now on. If you don’t believe me now, it’s okay. I will prove it to you. Please give me a chance to start anew. What do you say?”

Sheng Nian lifted her head slightly, her confused gaze falling on Lu Ming’s face, carrying a hint of deep infatuation. “Lu Ming, it’s over between us. You can go; I don’t need you. I want to go home.”

“Then I’ll take you home!” Lu Ming forcefully picked her up, claiming that he would take her home, but his legs were headed in the direction of the hotel upstairs.

Sheng Nian buried her face in his chest, feeling nauseated. “Lu Ming, put me down. I don’t want to go with you.”

She deliberately said this for the bartender next to her to hear.

Incidents of harassment at bars were not uncommon, and the bartender immediately realized what was happening. He directly blocked Lu Ming and asked, “Sir, I’m sorry, but I’d like to ask, what’s your relationship with this young lady?”

Lu Ming said impatiently, “She’s my wife. She drank too much. I want to send her upstairs to rest.”

“Sir, please show your identification to prove that this woman is your wife. Otherwise, I will call the manager immediately.” The bartender refused to let him go easily and pretended to take out his walkie-talkie to call the leader.

Lu Ming was impatient, but he had no choice but to put Sheng Nian down on a nearby chair.

At this point, Sheng Nian was unconscious, and she had to rely on Lu Ming to keep her body stable.

Despite that, she looked stunning. She had dressed carefully, wearing a low-cut, high-slit dress that revealed her ample cleavage and slender legs. Lu Ming couldn’t take his eyes off her and wished to immediately take off her clothes and kiss all the places he had been yearning for.

“Sir, please show your identification.” The bartender, seeing the way Lu Ming was leering at Sheng Nian, had already judged him as a predator trying to take advantage of her in her vulnerable state. His finger had already touched the button of the walkie-talkie.

“Fine,” Lu Ming reluctantly tore his gaze away from her, reached into his pocket, and handed his marriage certificate to the bartender. “Take a look. Do you think I would lie to you? My wife had a quarrel with me and came out for a drink. She’s now drunk, and I want to take her upstairs to rest. Are you so free that you have to meddle in other people’s affairs?”

The bartender gave him a wary look and then opened the marriage certificate. After carefully verifying that the girl in the photo matched the woman in front of him, he hesitantly handed the certificate back, saying, “I’m sorry, sir. I misunderstood you earlier. You can now take this lady and leave.”

Lu Ming put away the certificate with a cold expression and shouted at the bartender. “You can check if you want and I can’t leave until I get your permission? Are you a cop or a bartender? I’m a customer of this bar. Do you know what a customer is? A customer is your bread and butter! Apologize to me right now, or I’ll find your manager and have you fired!”

The bartender was a young man who had just entered the workforce. He had worked hard to find this lucrative job and didn’t want to lose it due to a misunderstanding. He had to apologize and said, bowing his head, “I’m sorry, sir. I misunderstood you earlier. It’s just that this lady didn’t seem to be in the right condition, and I had to take precautions for customer safety. Please understand my job.”

“Your job is to serve people! Stop interfering in my business!” Lu Ming spat at his shoe, then turned around and picked up Sheng Nian again, striding into the elevator.

Just before leaving, Sheng Nian discreetly opened her eyes just a tiny bit and stole a glance at the young man who had spoken up for her. She memorized his appearance before closing her eyes again.

Once they left, the manager rushed over and asked, “What happened just now? I noticed the walkie-talkie lit up for a moment.”

”1 felt that the lady’s condition wasn’t right just now,” the young man meticulously recounted the situation.

Upon learning that the misunderstanding had caused a commotion and irritated the customer, the manager scolded the young man in front of everyone..
