C21 On the Way Home

"No." Xia Wennuan avoided his gaze and took a sip of the wine.

During the feast, female guests from other tables came over to chat with Mo Shaoqing. There were a few times when they wanted to push Xia Wennuan away and sit by his side.

However, Mo Shaoqing ignored the girl who came to chat with him and even leaned closer to Xia Wennuan to chat with her.

Xia Wennuan could tell that Mo Shaoqing did not want to bother with those women, so he used her as a shield. Just like that night, she could not help but feel a little depressed in her heart, but Xia Wennuan did not refuse.

Mo Shaoqing's method was not very good, but it successfully stopped some of the women who wanted to continue.

At the banquet, everyone ate and drank, chatting. Unknowingly, they began to talk too much.

Even Xia Wennuan was also drunk with a few glasses of red wine. She was not good at drinking, so her small face was flushed red and her tongue gradually became numb.

Qin Ziyang saw that the time was right and directly asked her on the table, "Miss Xia, I guess you are not boyfriend yet, right?"

This time Xia Wennuan did not answer like before. She did not know if it was because of the alcohol, but she unexpectedly nodded her head.

Seeing this, Qin Ziyang continued to ask, "Then, what is Miss Xia's criteria for choosing a spouse? For such a beautiful girl like you to not have a boyfriend till now, it must be that the criteria for choosing a spouse is too high."

Hearing this, Mo Shaoqing glared sharply at Qin Ziyang. That gaze was questioning him, What exactly do you want to do?

Qin Ziyang smiled bitterly. What did he want to do? Wasn't he doing it for him?

He ran to his branch office every day. If people found out about his identity, it would cause a sensation. Sigh, as a friend, he could be a matchmaker for a month and matchmake the two of them.

This way, it would be good for both of them. Why not?

This time, Xia Wennuan smiled and did not speak. She did not know how to reply.

Probably because she drank a little wine, Wu Di finally could not hold it in anymore. She took the initiative to answer on Xia Wennuan's behalf, "Our Wennuan's requirements are not high at all. She is a proper man. She did not ask for a big fortune and a big fortune. She only wanted to live a peaceful life. But a very simple-minded person is because of this. That's why I couldn't find a boyfriend. Haha, isn't that right, Wennuan?"

Xia Wennuan laughed foolishly. She did not nod nor shake her head.

Yes, it was exactly as Wu Di had said. She only wanted to find an honest and motivated man and live a peaceful life. She didn't ask for much money. She just wanted the two of them to love each other and help each other.

Wu Di's words really made everyone present feel surprised. No one would have thought that a beautiful girl like Xia Wennuan actually did not ask for wealth and wealth but only wanted to marry an ordinary man.

Mo Shaoqing looked at Xia Wennuan in shock. When he saw her blushing and smiling foolishly, a hole in his heart was suddenly filled.

Did she really think that way?

But if that was the case, then why did she hide from him previously? Did she feel that he was not reliable and proper enough?

Xia Wennuan's head was dizzy. She inadvertently turned her head and saw Mo Shaoqing staring at her. That incomparably handsome face was looking at her with a gratified expression.

Xia Wennuan's heart started to jump uncontrollably again. She bit her lips and gave a shy smile. Then she stiffly turned her head and did not dare to meet Mo Shaoqing's eyes again.

A birthday banquet that looked like a royal ball ended with a group of ordinary employees eating and drinking.

After the banquet ended, Xia Wennuan and Wu Di walked out of the hotel with hands in hand.

Wu Di's alcohol tolerance was not bad and she was in high spirits but Xia Wennuan was not so lucky. She was already unable to drink and was even drunk a few glasses tonight. Her walking had already started to sway.

"See you tomorrow, Xiao Di." Releasing Wu Di's hand, Xia Wennuan foolishly said goodbye to her.

"See you tomorrow what? Tomorrow is Saturday, there is no need to go to work!" Wu Di had a headache, "Mom, if I had known earlier that you cannot drink, I would not have let people drink you!"

"It's fine. I just felt a little dizzy and didn't get drunk." Xia Wennuan tried to stand up straight and wanted to look normal. "It's getting late. Quickly take a taxi back."

"What are you going to do when I go back? You're already like this. I can't leave you behind." Wu Di said worriedly, "Why don't you follow me back to my house and go back tomorrow?"

"No, I can't spend the night outside. My dad will be angry." Xia Wennuan rejected Wu Di's good intentions and gently pushed her, "You should leave quickly. Don't worry about me. I will take a taxi back myself."

At this moment, Mo Shaoqing, Qin Ziyang and Gu Yufei also walked out.

Coincidentally, they saw two girls pulling and pulling on each other on the roadside. Before Qin Ziyang could say anything, Mo Shaoqing walked towards Xia Wennuan.

This speed really made Qin Ziyang click his tongue. He could not help but complain to Gu Yufei, "Have you seen Young Master Mo behaving like he is today?"

"Yes, I have." Gu Yufei nodded thoughtfully, then said, "It will be today."

It seemed that Mo Shaoqing had really been hooked by Xia Wennuan. He had never seen him being so considerate to any girl. He even helped her drink a few times tonight.

"What's wrong?" Mo Shaoqing walked to the two girls and stared at Xia Wennuan.

"Ah! Mr. Mo!" Seeing Mo Shaoqing, Wu Di seemed to hold onto her life-saving straw. "Mr. Mo, are you Wennuan's friend? Then do you have a car? Can you send her home?"

"You can go back first. I'll take her home." Mo Shaoqing replied coldly.

Wu Di was stunned and nodded foolishly. "Okay."

"Mr. Mo, no need to trouble me. I can go back by myself." Xia Wennuan had just been pulled into Mo Shaoqing's arms when she was in a hurry to struggle out, "I can do it myself."

"You are already drunk." Mo Shaoqing narrowed his eyes and forcefully grabbed Xia Wennuan's wrist.

He supported her swaying body.

In fact, although Xia Wennuan's eyes were a little blurry, her brain was very clear. She swayed left and right not because she was drunk, but because she wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of Mo Shaoqing's big hand.

Because those hands were like a pair of hot iron pliers, tightly wrapping around her wrist, so hot that she could not calm down and only wanted to break free.

Mo Shaoqing did not give her any chance to escape at all and still held her tightly.

"Where is your home? I'll send you back."

As he spoke, Mo Shaoqing bent down and picked up Xia Wennuan. He strode towards the place where he parked his car.

"Hey, hey, those two people, don't tell me they want to drive away?" Qin Ziyang turned his head and happened to see Mo Shaoqing carrying Xia Wennuan and leaving. He hurriedly patted Gu Yufei. "That guy Shaoqing drank today, so he can't drive."

"Why are you telling me this? Aren't you Hong Niang? Why didn't you ask the driver to send them back?"

Gu Yufei rolled his eyes. He was too lazy to talk to Qin Ziyang tonight. "You can take care of the rest yourself. I'm leaving too."

After that, Gu Yufei left without looking back.

Qin Ziyang called him twice but did not stop him. He shook his head helplessly. "So petty. It's just that I told you the most important thing. I was just about to say that you were going to leave. This time, you have no luck with your ears!"

"Young master, I have already sent someone to send young master Shaoqing off." A voice came from behind Qin Ziyang.

"Got it. Let's go too. The rest of the people will be sent off by the leaders of the branch company." Qin Ziyang yawned. He was tired.

Xia Wennuan was brought into the car muddle-headed. She found a comfortable seat and sat in the backseat. She did not know that she was lying in Mo Shaoqing's arms. At the same time, she did not know where she was going to be taken.

At this moment, she only wanted to have a good sleep. Her head was so heavy and uncomfortable.

Lowering his head to look at Xia Wennuan's unconsciously small movements, Mo Shaoqing showed a doting smile. He looked at Xia Wennuan's fair side profile in satisfaction.

He could not help but reach out and help her lift up the messy hair on her cheek.

Xia Wennuan's side profile was very beautiful, especially from Mo Shaoqing's angle.

Seeing Xia Wennuan like this, many soft bubbles emerged in Mo Shaoqing's heart. He did not know what kind of feeling it was, because he had never felt it before. But he knew that he liked this kind of sweet and sticky feeling very much.

"Un..." The shaking of the car made Xia Wennuan unconsciously mutter softly. Her eyes also opened a little. "Where am I?"

"On the way home." Mo Shaoqing replied gently, "If you are tired, then go to sleep. I will call you when I arrive."

"Okay." Xia Wennuan smiled and nodded gently. "Thank you."

"You are welcome," Mo Shaoqing replied with a sigh.

He did not know where Xia Wennuan's home was. He asked twice, but she did not answer. When he asked again, he found that the little girl had fallen asleep.

He could not bear to wake the sleeping beauty Xia Wennuan up again, so Mo Shaoqing made a decision at the last minute.

He asked the driver to send the two of them to his home.

As soon as her body was placed on the soft bed, Xia Wennuan let out a comfortable sigh.

It was so strange. When did her bed become so soft? When did the blanket become so comfortable?

She turned her body but did not touch the bed. In her memory, her bed did not seem to be that big, right?

Alcohol was really a strange thing. It could control a person's brain and make them unconsciously turn what they thought into reality.

This was what Xia Wennuan thought at this moment. She guessed that it must be because she drank alcohol that she felt that everything around her had become beautiful.

Without the nagging of her stepmother, without her father's repeated reminders, and more importantly, without Xia Siying's harsh and accented words. That was good...

Xia Wennuan happily curled the corner of her mouth, closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

Mo Shaoqing had been standing at the side, watching Xia Wennuan's every move gently. He saw her turn over a few times on his bed like a mermaid, and then fall asleep sweetly. He suddenly had an impulse to hug her in his arms.

But he couldn't.

After a moment of silence, Mo Shaoqing gently used a towel to wipe Xia Wennuan's face and then covered her with the blanket.

After that, Mo Shaoqing just sat by the bed and watched Xia Wennuan sleeping. He also unknowingly fell asleep.

That night, Xia Wennuan slept very well. When she woke up, it was because the sun shone on her face that she had to open her eyes because of the hot heat.
