Chapter 322: Follow Me Home

Lu Huaiyu stood up and walked over.

Ning Li became more and more nervous, as she tried hard to recall what had happened after she had blacked out last night.

Before she could make up her mind, Lu Huaiyu was already standing in front of her.

He bent over slightly, his deep phoenix-like eyes looking straight at her.

Ning Li’s face couldn’t help but heat up.

‘Could he tell...’

“Are you not feeling well?”

Lu Huaiyu raised his hand and touched her forehead,

“Your face is still so red. Do you have a fever?”

Ning Li immediately shook her head and braced herself to ask, “No, no. My... Second Brother, last night... Did I do anything I shouldn’t have done?”

Sure enough, she appeared to have forgotten everything.

Lu Huaiyu straightened up and tilted his head to look at her. His gaze lingered on her plump and moist lips for a moment before he moved away.

He thought for a moment before he raised his eyebrows and smiled.

“It was me.”

Ning Li was extremely nervous. “Wh-What?”

“Last night, you cried and begged to be allowed to sleep in my bed...”

Lu Huaiyu’s thin lips held a casual smile.

“I could only give up the master bedroom to you.”

Ning Li slowly widened her eyes.

How could this man say such words without changing his expression at all?

Wasn’t he the one who had carried her over himself??

She had not spoken a single word from the beginning to the end!

“I didn’t–”

She had just opened her mouth when she looked at Lu Huai and his slightly raised eyebrows. She then automatically swallowed back the rest of her words.

“I... I wouldn’t do such a thing, right?”

Ning Li’s hand was tightly pressed against the wall. She gritted her teeth, trying to prove her innocence.

“Oh, do you remember then?”

Lu Huaiyu smiled faintly.

Ning Li felt a lump in her chest, and her voice weakened a little.

“No, I don’t remember...”

She knew she had done something she felt guilty for. Hence, she was feeling very hesitant as she faced Lu Huaiyu who was sober.

Where could she find the extra energy to clear her name?

“Yes, you drank one-third of that bottle of whiskey. You got drunk and blacked out. It’s perfectly normal for you to not remember what happened.”

As Lu Huaiyu spoke, her delicate and fair earlobes turned red at a visible speed.

“I said I would send you home, but you refused. You said that it was snowing, and then you said you wanted to sleep. You entered my room and refused to leave...”

She lowered her eyes, and her thick and curly eyelashes fluttered slightly.

Lu Huaiyu watched with great interest. He admired her for a while, to the point that he felt that the young girl was about to be embarrassed and annoyed. Then, he changed the topic and gave her a way out.
