Throughout the ride home, Bai Yan drove his car very slowly.
Every once in a while, he would take a peek at the person leaning on his shoulder, and when he saw the tears streaming down her face, he furrowed his brows and gently called out, “Niannian.”
Since this was the very first time Ji Xiaonian had ever consumed alcohol, she had a rather upset stomach. There were several occasions where she wanted to throw up, but once she took a whiff of Brother Yan’s scent, she forced herself to hold it down.
Even though tears had formed due to her attempts at holding back her vomit, she still refused to give up.
Upon hearing the familiar voice, she gasped and answered, “Yeah?”
“Are you okay? Do I need to bring you to the hospital?”
Ji Xiaonian still had her arms wrapped around Bai Yan’s neck tightly as she shook her head and answered, “Yes, I am. As long as I’m hugging Brother Yan, Niannian will be fine.”
“…”
‘When did my temper improve, so much so that I’m tolerating her reckless behavior?’
‘To think, I’m even sending her home.’
Bai Yan felt that he had been acting odd recently.
‘Indeed, ever since she snuck into my room that night, I’ve started to act weirdly.’
Upon remembering the events of that night, Bai Yan could not help but take another glance at the girl leaning on his shoulder.
He looked closely at her white and tender little face and noticed that her features were extremely delicate. Moreover, her pink and plump lips would pucker up from time to time, and it was quite a cute sight.
Not long after making his observation, Bai Yan suddenly noticed that there was a surge of energy converging at a certain body part.
Moreover, the little girl was not behaving properly and would wiggle around occasionally. It was truly…
Bai Yan floored the accelerator. He wanted to send Ji Xiaonian home as soon as possible in order to escape the lethal sensation he was feeling.
It was only ten o’clock when they reached home.
However, Bai Yan had not brought Ji Xiaonian back to the Ji Residence. Instead, he took her to his home.
While carrying the sleeping girl, Bai Yan entered his house.
Usually, at ten o’clock, Ji Yun would be wide awake and entertaining herself with Korean dramas. As such, the moment she heard a sound coming from the door, she turned around and saw her child carrying Ji Xiaonian into their home.
Surprised, Ji Yun hurriedly stood up and asked, “Lil Bai, what’s up with Xiaonian?”
“She’s drunk. I’m going to take her to my room.”
Fearing that his mother would spot his hard-on, Bai Yan did not pause and headed upstairs instantly.
Ji Yun found the situation a bit suspicious. ‘Isn’t the company holding an anniversary bash today? Did Xiaonian go to the office?’
‘Doesn’t my Lil Bai hate Xiaonian though? Why would he take her home?’
Ji Yun was extremely intrigued. However, she felt that it was a good sign, and as such, did not head upstairs to trouble them. Instead, she returned to the living room and continued watching her dramas.
Despite that, the more Ji Yun thought about it, the more unusual she had found the situation. Unable to resist any longer, Ji Yun snuck upstairs to take a peek.
…
Morning, the second day.
Ji Xiaonian woke up feeling groggy. It was an extremely awful feeling.
Out of habit, Ji Xiaonian faced the door and called out, “Brother! Brother…”
Hearing no response, Ji Xiaonian rubbed her eyes and sluggishly got up.
After sitting up straight, upon closer inspection, she suddenly realized that she was not in her room.
However, there was a familiar feel to the room. It felt like… Brother Yan’s room.
‘Brother Yan’s room?’
Ji Xiaonian gasped. ‘My god! How did I end up in Bai Yan’s room?’
She racked her brains to recall what had happened, but try as she might, she could not remember anything that would land her on Bai Yan’s huge bed.
With her head still dazed and hazy, she pulled off the bedsheets as she tried to get off the bed. It was only then, that she realized, she was wearing a man’s shirt. Not just any man’s, but Bai Yan’s. Moreover, she was not wearing any pants, and the only thing underneath was her panties.
‘What on earth is happening here?’
She was so shocked that her mind went blank. She hastily got off the bed and began searching for her clothes.
However, the door to the room swung open before she even found her clothes.
She rapidly turned around and was greeted by a housemaid carrying a set of brand new clothes.
“Lady Ji, the young master has ordered me to bring you a change of clothes.”
Ji Xiaonian flinched. She froze as her mind entered a daze.
‘Did… Did Bai Yan take me home last night? And was he the one who put me on his bed?’
‘Was he the one who changed my clothes?’
Another thought occurred to Ji Xiaonian, and she immediately rushed to the housemaid and asked, “How did I end up here? What happened last night…”
“It was the young master who carried you back. You had a bit too much to drink and soiled your clothes with vomit. As such, the young master tossed out your dirty clothes and went out early in the morning to buy you a new set of clothes. Now, hurry up and put them on. Everyone’s in the living room, and they’re waiting to have breakfast with you!”
“…”
Upon seeing the mischievous smile on the housemaid’s face, Ji Xiaonian flinched once again.
‘Was it really… Bai Yan who brought me back?’
‘And was he the one who changed my clothes?’
For some reason, when Ji Xiaonian realized how much sense the housemaid’s words made, she became excited. She shyly took the clothes and immediately ran towards the washroom.
By the time she changed her clothes and went downstairs, her face was so red that it looked as if she had covered herself in a layer of rouge. She looked especially cute.
“Xiaonian, hurry up and sit beside Aunty.”
Upon noticing Ji Xiaonian, Ji Yun immediately gestured for her to come over.
The moment she spotted Bai Yan at the dining table, Ji Xiaonian remembered the incident that occurred the night before and immediately became embarrassed at the thought of it. With her head hung low, she obediently approached Ji Yun and sat beside her.
“The skirt looks nice on you. It suits you, Xiaonian. Lil Bai, you have a good eye for this,” Ji Yun narrowed her eyes as she uttered the words of praise.
Bai Yan raised his head as if he was about to say something. However, Ji Yun glared at him and cut him off by saying, “Alright, let’s have breakfast!”
