Wen Li rejected Huo Yuanchen's proposal. She said, "I can find a designated driver."
He didn't force her and helped Michelle Yim to leave first.
Instead, it was Michelle Yim who was worried. She looked back at Wen Li and said, "It's too late to ask him to take you there. It's really not safe to ask a stranger to drive you in your car. Don't worry, I'm here. He won't do anything to you."
Wen Li thought that after she broke up with Huo Yuanchen, he never came to pester her once, and he probably had no interest in her anymore. They were not in a serious relationship to begin with, and he was such a proud person that he would not pester her to get back together like Meng Jinnian did after breaking up.
Since beautiful women are indeed doubly dangerous at night, she agreed.
She followed Huo Yuanchen and Qi Meizhen. When she was in the elevator, as the elevator went down, her head suddenly felt dizzy and a feeling of falling came. She realized that she had drunk too much tonight.
In fact, she had been drinking quite moderately. But after Huo Yuanchen made that phone call, Qi Meizhen was obviously not right, and drank one glass after another.
She was afraid that Michelle Yim would drink too much, so she rushed to pour herself a glass of wine. Unexpectedly, she was too stubborn and ended up drinking too much.
Huo Yuanchen helped Michelle Chik to sit in the back seat of the car. Wen Li also wanted to sit in the back, but when she opened the door, Michelle Chik had already fallen sideways in the back seat, leaving no room for her.
Huo Yuanchen said, "My mother is drunk, let her sleep for a while. You sit in the front."
Seeing that Wen Li didn't move, he added, "I got a new car, and no one else has ever sat in the passenger seat."
He still remembered that Wen Li minded An Wen sitting in his passenger seat.
Wen Li felt a little dizzy at the moment, but he didn't think much about it. Seeing that there was no room in the back seat, he sat in the co-pilot seat.
But she had never ridden in this series of cars before, and it was dark, making her dizzy. She couldn't find where to put the seat belt on after pulling it for a long time.
Huo Yuanchen took the seat belt from her and said, "Let me do it."
He helped her fasten her seat belt. When he looked up, he saw that she was not sitting straight, so he naturally helped her adjust her sitting position and said, "Be careful."
In this process, there was inevitably physical contact, but he always stopped at the first touch and did not do anything excessive.
Although Wen Li felt it was a bit strange, he couldn't find any fault with it. He hummed twice, leaned his head back on the chair, and wanted to sleep.
Huo Yuanchen reminded her while driving, "Don't sleep. This place is close to your apartment, and we'll be there in a little while. If you fall asleep, I'll have to carry you out of the car and upstairs. It's tiring."
Wen Li tried to open his heavy eyes and said in a muffled voice, "You don't need to hold me."
Huo Yuanchen said without any emotion, "That's not up to me. If you can't wake me up, I have no other choice but to carry you up."
Wen Li pursed her lips and said nothing. But she was not going to sleep, and even though she was sleepy, she tried to keep her eyes open.
Huo Yuanchen caught a glimpse of her wanting to sleep but not daring to, and found it a little funny. He curled the corners of his lips but said nothing.
When he was almost at Wen Li's apartment, he said "Huh" and asked in surprise, "Why are there so many delivery trucks parked outside your community tonight?"
Wen Li straightened up and looked outside. Sure enough, he saw four or five delivery vehicles parked on the side of the road outside the community. They were from the same courier company, and the couriers wore uniform uniforms.
But I didn’t see anyone coming to pick up the packages, the couriers were all just browsing their phones out of boredom.
The car drove forward a little further, and Wen Li saw clearly that at the end of the express truck, there was a familiar luxury car parked.
She patted Huo Yuanchen twice in a hurry and said in a panic, "Don't drive into the community, don't stop the car, just go quickly."
Huo Yuanchen frowned, "Why are you..."
"Meng Jinnian." Wen Li said, "Meng Jinnian brought a row of courier trucks and blocked me at the door of my apartment. Huo Yuanchen, drive me away from here first, don't let him find me."
As she spoke, she shrank her body and turned her head to the side, for fear that Meng Jinnian would see her. In her heart, she was secretly glad that Huo Yuanchen was driving a new car today, otherwise Meng Jinnian would definitely have discovered her.
Huo Yuanchen took down his spare jacket that was hanging on the seat and threw it to her, "Use this to block it."
Wen Li was now only thinking about preventing Meng Jinnian from noticing her, and didn't care about anything else. She quickly put Huo Yuanchen's coat on her head and curled up into a ball.
Fortunately, Huo Yuanchen's car drove safely past the door of her apartment and Meng Jinnian did not notice it.
After driving for quite a distance, Wen Li finally poked his head out from under his coat and said with lingering fear, "What is Meng Jinnian crazy about? Could it be that he wants to compensate me for my lens, and I can't buy the original one in China, so he bought all the lenses available in the city and brought them to my apartment door for me to choose?"
Huo Yuanchen glanced at her and said calmly, "Your ex-fiancé, you should know him."
Wen Li was silent.
It was because of this understanding that she made the guess just now.
Meng Jinnian is such a crazy person. He can bring a cart of roses to her studio and ask for reconciliation in public. He can also buy all the cameras in the city and block her at the door of her apartment late at night.
When he did these things, he only cared about whether he expressed his sincerity to her, but never considered her feelings, nor did he consider whether his high-profile behavior would embarrass her.
It was like he had already slept with Lin Ruoyuan, but because she wanted to break up with him, he ruthlessly sent Lin Ruoyuan abroad to express his regret to her.
From beginning to end, the only person he moved was himself.
Wen Li raised his fist and hit his head in frustration.
Huo Yuanchen sneered at the side and said, "Don't fight. You're not smart to begin with, and you'll become even dumber if you fight again."
This made Wen Li even more depressed.
He asked her calmly, "Looking at Meng Jinnian's behavior, he won't leave for a while. So what should I do? Can you stay at my place for a night?"
Wen Li shook his head and said, "It's not convenient for me to stay at your place. I'll find a hotel for one night."
Huo Yuanchen nodded, "That's the best. But I have to send my mother back first, and then help you find a hotel."
Wen Li agreed.
He held the steering wheel with one hand and used the other to pull the clothes covering her body down a little, exposing her head.
She said, "We could have sent you there very quickly just now, so I didn't let you sleep. Now I have to send my mom there first, and the journey is still long. You should get some sleep first. You won't think so much when you fall asleep."
Wen Li was tired and drunk, so she was really sleepy. She wanted to hold on, but then she tilted her head and fell asleep.
When Michelle Yim woke up from the back seat, she saw her son tilting his head, staring at the sleeping Wen Li.
The car had already stopped in front of the Huo family villa, but he didn't wake anyone up. As he watched, he gently patted Wen Li's head and sneered meaninglessly.
"Are we there yet?" asked Michelle Yim.
"Yeah." Huo Yuanchen got out of the car and opened the door for Michelle Yim. "We're home."
"Where's Wen Li? Why didn't you send her back first?" asked Michelle Yim.
"I'll take you first, and I'll take her later."
Huo Yuanchen helped his mother walk into the villa.
On the way, Michelle Yim looked back at the car parked quietly in front of the villa. She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it.
It was not until Huo Yuanchen sent her into the villa that he said, "You and Wen Li, be careful on the road."
"I know."
