C18 Drunk

"That's because I've been promoted, so I have to treat them tonight. They're all waiting at the restaurant. Is Director Zhou going with them?"

Xu Lan had only politely invited him, but she hadn't thought that Zhou Ye would actually agree.

Sitting in Zhou Ye's car, Xu Lan had the urge to slap herself a few times. Why was she asking Zhou Ye out of the blue?

When they arrived at the restaurant, everyone was stunned to see Zhou Ye, who had arrived with Xu Lan. Luckily, Zhou An had saved the situation in time, so they were not that embarrassed.

"Director Zhou's already come today. If you still get Sis Xu to pay the bill, then you're really slapping Director Zhou's face, isn't it?"

Because everyone was a bit relaxed, when it came to the back, they didn't even care about the level.

"Of course, I'm treating today, it's not enough to continue ordering."

Zhou Ye did not care about that and started a commotion with everyone.

After dinner, she went back to Hymn. Since it was Xu Lan who was promoted, everyone took turns to toast her. When she was done, she was already drunk.

"Xu Lan, Xu Lan, wake up. What's your cell phone number, I'll get CEO Lu to come pick you up."

Zhou An shook Xu Lan, but she was too drunk to wake up.

"Zhou An, what's wrong?"

"Director Zhou, Xu Lan is drunk. I wanted to call Director Lu, but I can't open her phone. Do you have Director Lu's number?"

Zhou Ye called Lu Liangchen. Due to Zhou An's urging, only Zhou Ye accompanied Xu Lan.

"You know, he doesn't love me, he never loved me. Hehe, I don't love him either, I don't love him either."

When she was half drunk and half awake, Xu Lan mumbled to herself with a hint of a sobbing tone.

Hearing Xu Lan's words, Zhou Ye couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. For a moment, he didn't know how to comfort her.

He had thought that Lu Liangchen and Xu Lan would marry and would definitely fall in love with each other. He hadn't thought that neither of them loved each other and that Xu Lan was currently having such a hard time.

"Why didn't you leave him?"

Zhou Ye saw that Xu Lan was frowning and couldn't help but reach out his hand to stroke her brow.

Ever since he found out about Xu Lan and Lu Liangchen's marriage, he had restrained himself from making contact with Xu Lan.

But every day at the company, he couldn't help but want to get close to her.

So this time, in the name of filming, he was able to see Xu Lan every day. He knew that he had overdone it.

However, in all these years, there had been a lot of women by his side, but none had been able to move him so much.

"Leave him? "If I leave him, I will have no home. I will have nowhere else to go. Xu Zhou will not be able to fulfill his dream."

Zhou Ye did not expect Xu Lan to answer his question. Hearing her answer, the expression on his face deepened.

He had always known that Xu Lan was an orphan, but when she said she had nowhere else to go, he felt a burning pain in his heart.

He couldn't help but stretch out his hand and pat Xu Lan's back, giving her a short moment of comfort.

When Lu Liangchen arrived, he saw Zhou Ye gently patting Xu Lan's back and Xu Feng obediently lying on the sofa.

"Director Zhou, I'm afraid you don't know that she's my wife, right? It's not very kind of you to do so."

Lu Liangchen pulled Zhou Ye away from Xu Feng with a darkened face, then glared at him.

"CEO Lu, what are you doing? You don't love her, so why do you occupy her?"

Zhou Ye did not let himself be at a disadvantage. Before, he did not know, so he felt that if he treated Xu Lan like this, he might destroy someone else's family. But now, he knew that Xu Feng was not happy to be with him, so he did not want to continue hiding it.

"Director Zhou is really funny. Even if I don't love her, I won't let others miss her. She's mine."

Hearing Zhou Ye's words, Lu Liangchen looked at him maliciously.

"Why? Xu Lan is not happy when she is with you, so why don't you let her find her happiness? Lu Liangchen, you are so selfish, you don't deserve to have her."

Zhou Ye was not afraid of his gaze and clenched his fist tightly, like an angry lion.

"But Director Zhou, even if I don't love her, she's still my woman. Every night, she lies beside my pillow, and I don't need to love her. I just need to leave her at home every day, so I hope that Director Zhou can see my true identity. Otherwise, I don't mind teaching you."

Lu Liangchen proudly said this as he turned around to hug Xu Lan.

However, at some point in time, Xu Lan had already woken up. She sat on the sofa and blankly stared at the two of them.

Seeing Xu Lan, Lu Liangchen couldn't help but feel shocked. He turned around to look at Zhou Ye, and when he saw Zhou Ye looking at him triumphantly, he realized that he had been tricked.

Seeing Xu Lan's look of disbelief, Lu Liangchen wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to say it. He could only look at her.

"Thank you for tonight, Zhou Ye. I'll be going first."

After a long while, Lu Liangchen felt as if a century had passed. Just when he was about to lose his patience, Xu Lan spoke up.

She smiled faintly at Zhou Ye, then said a "thank you" before walking around Lu Liangchen and out of the room.

"Director Zhou, I've really underestimated you. This time, I've really gotten to know you."

Lu Liangchen walked over to Zhou Ye, gritting his teeth as he spoke in a strange tone.

"Director Lu, you're too kind."

Zhou Ye smiled and nodded.

Actually, Zhou Ye already knew that Xu Lan was about to wake up. Although Xu Lan drank a lot tonight, it wasn't a big thing. She'll be fine after lying down for a while.

He purposely provoked Lu Liangchen and made Lu Liangchen say those words. Although this made Xu Lan feel very uncomfortable, it was also the easiest for her to not hold any hope in Lu Liangchen's hands.

In fact, he was right. Xu Lan had heard all of Lu Liangchen's words.

Walking out of the bar, a gust of wind blew over, and Xu Lan became much more clear-headed.

She looked up at the sky. There were very few stars in the sky.

She raised her head as tears unconsciously dripped from the corner of her eyes. A wry smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Go back."

When Lu Liangchen came out, he saw Xu Lan looking up at the sky. He walked up to her and said in a soft voice.

Hearing his words, Xu Lan didn't reply and just walked towards the car.

Tonight, Lu Liangchen drove here. Originally, Lu Liangchen wanted to let Xu Lan take the first passenger seat, but Xu Lan walked into the rear passenger seat first.

Seeing the closed door, Lu Liangchen blankly stared for a moment before getting into the driver's seat.

On the way, perhaps because she was afraid that Lu Liangchen would say something, Xu Lan closed her eyes and dozed off as soon as she got in the car.

No one in the carriage spoke. The quiet air was suffocating.

Arriving at the beautiful garden, Xu Lan stumbled out of the car, walked into the bedroom and locked the bathroom door and locked herself in.

She turned on the spray head and sat on the ground without undressing, letting the water pour over her body, along with her tears.

She clutched at her heart tightly, the tears seemed to have turned on, unable to stop no matter how hard she tried.

She had always known that Lu Liangchen didn't love her, but she knew that it was one thing. Being spoken of like this in public was another.

Recalling what he had just said to Zhou Ye, those insulting words, she could not help but want to laugh.

Just how stupid was he to keep desperately missing Lu Liangchen?

He was grateful to Lu Liangchen for giving him a home and a chance for Xu Zhou to fulfill her dream. However, she also hated Lu Liangchen because he was no longer immune to poisons.

Xu Lan was hiding in the bathroom, crying. Lu Liangchen was sitting alone in his study, smoking a cigarette.

The entire study was filled with smoke, as if it could temporarily make him forget what he had just done.

However, when he closed his eyes, he could not help but recall the look in Xu Lan's eyes when she looked at him. It was so unfamiliar, so desperate.

As he thought about this, Lu Liangchen felt as if he had been thrown into an icehouse. A chill ran down his spine.

"Zhou Ye."

Lu Liangchen gritted his teeth as he called out to Zhou Ye. It looked as if he wanted to tear Zhou Ye into a thousand pieces. Zhou Ye, who was far away from home, couldn't help but sneeze.

"Son, why did you catch a cold?"

Seeing her son sneeze non-stop, Mother Zhou thought that Zhou Ye had caught a cold and asked anxiously.

"No mother, maybe the girl was thinking about your son."

Zhou Ye smiled lightly, acting coquettishly towards his mother.

"You are no longer young, it's time to get married. Your aunt said that she knows a few girls and that their family background is pretty good. Why don't you go take a look some other day?"
