C5 Do You Think I will be Responsible for You?

Upon hearing the other person's words, Jee Cheng'an let out a cold snort. "Yeah, I'm off to enjoy the night. You handle the rest." With that, he hung up decisively.

Glancing at Jiang Nuan in the rearview mirror, he abandoned the idea of dropping her off and turned the steering wheel toward Autumn Villa.

"That jerk of a man, and that friend who's no friend at all, ugh..." Jiang Nuan seemed to wake up, muttering as she sat up, holding onto the seat. "Huh... where are we going? Are we gonna confront them?"

"Yeah, confront that jerk and the so-called friend," Jee Cheng'an replied casually as he drove.

"Oh, you go ahead. I just want to sleep." With that, Jiang Nuan slid back onto the rear seat, even propping her feet up on the car window.

Seeing her sprawled out like that, Jee Cheng'an couldn't help but label her in his mind: a real tomboy.

At Autumn Villa, Jee Cheng'an parked the car in the yard, opened the back door, and roughly hoisted Jiang Nuan over his shoulder. Ignoring the shocked stares from onlookers, he carried her into the villa.

"Park the car properly!"

"Yes, sir!"

He carried the sound-asleep Jiang Nuan up to the second floor of the villa and unceremoniously tossed her onto his bed. Jee Cheng'an then shrugged off his jacket and shirt, leaving them in a heap on the floor, and headed for a shower.

Jiang Nuan woke up groggily, feeling like she was lying in an incredibly comfortable place. Unable to resist, she turned over a few times and, through her sleepy haze, noticed a naked figure. She chuckled softly, "Just wait until I wake up, you jerk. I'll deal with you then!"

With that, she turned over, deftly unhooked her bra from under her clothes, and tossed it onto the floor with a flourish. She then sprawled across the entire bed, hugging a pillow and blanket, and drifted back to sleep.

Jee Cheng'an, freshly showered, frowned slightly. This woman sure acted like she was at home, sleeping so soundly in an unfamiliar place. He couldn't quite understand her ease.

Thinking this, Jee Cheng'an decided to have someone bring another set of pillows and bedding, opting to sleep in the study instead.

He had initially planned to prepare a guest room for Jiang Nuan, but seeing her so peacefully asleep, he found himself reluctant to wake her.

Early the next morning, Jiang Nuan woke from her slumber. Stretching luxuriously, she was immediately hit by a pounding headache. Sitting up in bed, she closed her eyes and clutched her head in discomfort.

"Never again," she thought, vowing to avoid hangovers in the future. She couldn't help but rub her arms, legs, and back. She had no idea what she did after drinking too much last night, but her whole body ached as if she'd been in a brawl with a dozen people.

"You’re awake." A pleasant male voice reached Jiang Nuan's ears.

Startled, Jiang Nuan quickly looked up.

She saw a man dressed casually, one hand in his pocket and the other holding a tray. His face was expressionless, but his eyes sparkled with amusement.

"You, you, you..." Jiang Nuan glanced around, realizing she was in an unfamiliar room! Even more alarming, the floor was scattered with the man's clothes and her underwear! This scene made Jiang Nuan instinctively pull the blanket tighter around herself.

"What, what, what?" The man smirked, seemingly mocking her. He casually placed the tray on the bedside table. "Hangover soup."

Jiang Nuan said nothing, her wide, frightened eyes fixed on the man before her.

"Last night..." The man’s face twisted into a strange expression, as if he was both conflicted and puzzled.

"Stop!" Jiang Nuan seemed unwilling to hear more. She quickly interrupted him, then closed her eyes, her face set with a look of grim determination. "It’s my fault. I... I’ll take responsibility!"
