Huo Tingwei was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to his senses and tried to pull Zhao Sijia's arms away. But he just couldn't get Zhao Sijia's arms off of him. He had to carry her in his arms. He said with a frown, "Sijia, you're drunk. Sit down and I'll get you a glass of water."

Zhao Sijia cried: "I don't want to drink water. I want to drink alcohol. I went to see Lou Xiao today, but he refused to help me. We have known each other for so many years, did that count for nothing? He helped Huo Wei bully me. Everyone is bullying me. I'm so scared. So many people are cursing me. They are all cursing me. I only have you. You have to protect me... "

Huo Tingwei spoke a few words with Zhao Sijia, but Zhao Sijia couldn't hear them. She was immersed in self-pity and so drunk that she couldn't think clearly, and only kept crying.

Huo Tingwei couldn't carry her and fell on the sofa with her.

Huo Tingwei had no choice but to pat her and promise her, "I'll protect you. Don't be afraid."

Hearing this, Zhao Sijia felt relieved, as if she managed to grasp driftwood when she was drowning and clung to Huo Tingwei more tightly. She kissed him on the face, crying and laughing. "I have you. Don't leave me..."

Huo Tingwei was infuriated by her but when he wanted to push her away, he suddenly thought of his present situation. He had just divorced, now he is single, and so is Zhao Sijia. Anything that will happen between them is not technically unacceptable.

The curtains in the room were drawn and only the small light was on, the dim environment affected his vision. Zhao Sijia's drunken and hazy appearance almost seemed like Zhao Wanyun! In the past year, all the feelings accumulated in Huo Tingwei's memory of Zhao Wanyun exploded. Instead of hiding, he held her in his arms and pressed her against the sofa.

In the confusion, Zhao Sijia's brain went blank and she couldn't think.

Huo Tingwei grabbed her chin. He forced her to look at him and asked in a low voice, "Who am I?"

Confused, Zhao Sijia looked at him seriously and panted, "Chair..chairman?"

Huo Tingwei heard the answer he wanted to hear, he was sure that Zhao Sijia knew it was him, so he didn't give her any chance to think and sunk into her.

Huo Ming's negotiations had collapsed. The other party was not satisfied with Huo Company's recent turmoils and said that they would consider it for a while longer. Huo Ming returned home two days in advance.

As soon as he arrived at the company, he wanted to report to Huo Tingwei. Secretary Qin met him and said that something seems to have happened to Zhao Sijia. Huo Tingwei went to Zhao Sijia's apartment and just left half an hour ago.

Huo Ming was worried. He asked the driver to send him there and called Zhao Sijia. Zhao Sijia's phone was soaked in a pool of red wine. It turned on and off silently. Huo Ming called Huo Tingwei, but his father's driver answered. The driver said that Huo Tingwei's mobile phone had been left in the car and had not come out since he went upstairs.

Huo Ming was even more worried. He thought of the bad things that had happened these days, which had a great impact on him. He was busy dealing with the company's troubles, trying to achieve better results, and indeed neglected Zhao Sijia.

He had planned to express his love to her on the graduation trip and begin a romance with her, but he hadn't expected that it would turn into the beginning of a streak of bad luck. Until now, he still hadn't found a chance to express his love to her. There seemed to be many conflicts between the two of them, and they hadn't talked with each other for a long time.

He thought that Zhao Sijia might still feel sad because of the curses on the Internet, so he should persuade her to take a trip to relax and make it all up to her with a romantic confession.
