Chapter 554 - Incident (3)
When Mu Yuchen said this, Zhou Zimo only shrugged.
“I haven’t asked you yet. How does it feel being a father-to-be? I went to see Grandfather Mu and the rest at the Mu residence the other day. They all look quite well. They couldn’t stop talking about their great-grandchild. I can tell that they’re all really looking forward to the child.”
Upon hearing this, Mu Yuchen just chuckled without a word.
Obviously, he was really looking forward to it, and of course, apart from anticipation, he was mainly feeling a little worried, especially when he saw her reacting badly. He never knew that pregnant women suffered so much. The doctor said that there were still many things to pay attention to, and it sounded like there was quite a lot to look after.
“You’re so happy that you’re forgetting your duties!” Zhou Zimo sighed upon seeing him like this. He vaguely felt disoriented.
When Su Chen was done changing, the buddies left together.
Mu Yuchen drove straight ahead to the north of the city near the Grand Waves Villa area. He remembered bumping into Xi Xiaye there once. There was a pretty good entertainment club, and if he drank too much, he could go straight back to Maple Residence.
Unexpectedly, Su Chen did not drink as much as he usually did. Instead, it was Zhou Zimo who drank quite a lot. He drank quite a bit and soon felt tipsy.
His tolerance for drinks was actually not that high. After a few glasses, he suddenly remembered that his woman might be waiting for him at home. Subconsciously, he fumbled in his pocket but reached nothing. He then remembered that he seemed to have forgotten his phone in the car.
In the end, Zhou Zimo drank way too much whilst Mu Yuchen began to feel tipsy too. Instead, Su Chen was more sober than usual.
When they were about to leave, Zhou Zimo had already blacked out from being inebriated. His entire weight fell onto Mu Yuchen, so Su Chen could only help him get his coat and put it over his shoulders as he said, “You help Zimo and stay at your place for the night. I have to make a trip back to the bureau. There are some things I left in the office which have to be checked daily. How annoying!”
“What about you? Are you going to stay over in Maple Residence too? I’ve already prepared quite a few rooms.” Mu Yuchen steadied Zhou Zimo and looked at Su Chen.
“Just bring him back. I’ll probably rest in the office today. There are some things I need to rush. You didn’t drink too much, did you? Can you drive?”
Then, he reached out and waved a hand in front of Mu Yuchen who pushed it away. “I’m fine. We’re very close. I’ll ditch you then. I’m going to go back now. Xiaye’s still waiting for me.”
In fact, because he did not even give her a call, she was probably going to be unhappy when he got back. Thankfully, it was only slightly past 10 p.m., hence it was not considered too late.
As Su Chen listened, he could not help but lift a hand to rub the space between his brows. “You have the potential of being a wife slave. Just let her wait for a while. What’s the rush? Okay, you get lost then. I’ll get the bill!”
Then, Mu Yuchen helped Zhou Zimo out the door while Su Chen waved to the waiter to settle the bill and left too.
It was a lovely night outside. A slender crescent moon hung in the night sky. The moonlight was bright and refreshing.
Su Chen found his car keys from his pocket and was about to walk to his car, but he was caught off guard. Before he could move, a soft hand had suddenly held onto his shoulders. He subconsciously wanted to move away, yet at this moment, there was the unmistakable sound of puking.
The smell of alcohol filled the air, and with it came a strong odor!
He felt a faint warmth at the leg of his pants followed by terrible wetness. The stench was madly overpowering!
Su Chen immediately frowned. When he turned to look, he realized that it was a woman puking while being in a state of nausea!
Dressed in a gray formal dress with smooth hair at shoulder-length, she had her head lowered as she clutched onto him like a lamp pole and puked all over him…
She had her head down, so he could not see how she looked like, but Su Chen knew that at this moment, he was extremely angry. No, he was pissed!
What bloody luck! He was already enraged at that point, and now this woman had puked all over him. He was smelly and dirty now. What was going on with all these turns of bad luck one after another? How was he supposed to live his days?
“Go away! What’s wrong with you?” Su Chen shoved the woman that held on to him away, feeling annoyed, yet before he could react, he felt a pain on his shoulder. A sharp nail had quickly hooked itself onto his shoulder, and he felt like he was suspended mid-air.
Swoosh!
Bam!
Su Chen was caught off-guard with this off-shoulder throw. In the blink of an eye, he was thrown to the ground. Pain soared from his waist, and before he could cry out, that woman had already come over. Her knees pinned his torso down tightly as she threw punches at him like rain to greet him. Involuntarily, Su Chen screamed!
Everything happened so quickly that he did not have time to react.
He was not sure how many more punches he had to receive. He only felt his ears buzz with pain, and a warm stench filled his nose. He then struggled away from the woman pinning him down after much effort. He threw a punch at her, yet she did not seem to feel pain. On the contrary, she began to hit him even harder!
“Whoa! Where is this bitch from, acting all crazy and being drunk now?!”
Su Chen was extremely annoyed. He took a careful look at the woman’s face. She was a complete drunk who was swinging punches without properly assessing the situation!
She even hurt him all over with the blows!
His wrist seemed to be sprained!
Now that she was done punching, why was she not letting go of his arm?
…
Mu Yuchen obviously did not know about Su Chen’s tragic situation. After he helped Zhou Zimo home, Xi Xiaye was waiting on the sofa for him.
Sis Wang helped settle Zhou Zimo in, then he sighed a breath of relief. He explained a few things to Sis Wang before going upstairs.
“Why are you so late? You didn’t answer your phone either. Did you find Su Chen? You reek of alcohol. Why did you drink so much?” She walked over and helped him take off his suit. To her disgust, the strong smell of booze made her dizzy.
He reached out to pull his tie away and said in a gentle tone, “It’s fine. We found him. I left my phone in the car.”
He casually tossed his tie aside and hugged her delicate shoulders. He was about to lean down for a kiss, yet Xiaye gently lifted a hand to push him away. “I don’t want to… You stink of alcohol!”
“Just for a bit…”
He did not care whether she wanted it or not. He leaned down for the kiss and got a few minutes of sweetness before he let go of her.
“What did you have for dinner?” he asked in concern out of habit.
This man seemed to be quite concerned with her diet recently. Usually, even if she did not have meals with him, he would always ask her about what she had eaten.
Xi Xiaye panted slightly. After a while, the mistiness in her eyes gradually dissipated.
