Woman 30: I regained my life after divorce

"Soldier, can you still stand up? I'll take you home now."

Despite Li Bing's strong smell of alcohol, Xiao Song showed no disgust and spoke to him gently.

The other people in the barbecue restaurant didn't say much. It was common for people to get drunk at this time of day when they were in high spirits.

Li Bing burped, shook his head groggily, his eyes fixed on Xiao Song standing beside him.

"If you're going to take me home, you can't leave now."

When drunk, Li Bing was completely different from his usual self; he even seemed a bit like a child.

Xiao Song chuckled, took one of Li Bing's hands, placed it precisely on his shoulder, and made a concerted effort to support Li Bing.

After paying the bill, Xiao Song helped the unsteady Li Bing to the side of the road.

Even late at night, there are still many vehicles on the road in big cities.

Xiao Song casually hailed a taxi, and with the driver's help, placed Li Bing in the back seat.

As early as when Xiao Song arranged to meet Li Bing, he had already told Li Bing not to drive over, something Xiao Song had already thought of.

The barbecue restaurant was not far from Li Bing's home. The driver arrived at the entrance of Li Bing's residential area in about 10 minutes.

Upon arrival at their destination, the driver once again offered his assistance. Xiao Song repeatedly expressed his gratitude and helped Li Bing back to Li Bing's home.

Ding ding ding.

There was a knock on the door.

Zhou Xinyao, who was playing on her phone in the room, quickly heard the sound and couldn't help but mutter something.

"He's back so late. I thought Li Bing wasn't staying at home today."

While talking to herself, Zhou Xinyao got off the bed, walked to the door, and opened it.

The first thing that catches the eye is the figures of Xiao Song and Li Bing.

"Little Song?"

Zhou Xinyao gasped. She had never imagined that the person having dinner with Li Bing was Xiao Song.

"You're the one having dinner with Li Bing today? Why didn't you invite me to join you? Never mind, just bring Li Bing in already."

Zhou Xinyao teased him repeatedly, her eyes darting back and forth between Xiao Song and Li Bing.

When Zhou Xinyao saw that Li Bing was drunk and confused, she realized that she couldn't let Li Bing keep falling on Xiao Song, so she quickly stepped forward to help him.

Xiao Song nodded to Zhou Xinyao and spoke with a slightly shy expression.

"Oh dear, it's because Madam is going back to the old house tomorrow, and I wanted to thank Li Bing separately for taking care of us during this time."

Xiao Song spoke logically and persuasively, having prepared these words in her mind for a long time.

Zhou Xinyao had no doubts and naturally assumed that Xiao Song was right, but she seemed to have forgotten something.

What did he forget? He forgot why Xiao Song only invited Li Bing to dinner and didn't bring himself along.

In his dazed state, Li Bing occasionally uttered a few drunken words.

"Xiao Song, marry me."

Both women in the room heard Li Bing speak, and Zhou Xinyao looked into Xiao Song's eyes with a hint of teasing.

"Xiao Song, I can see that Li Bing cares a lot about you. I think you two are not getting any younger, why don't you two get together?"

“From our recent interactions, you know that Li Bing is an honest and capable person. I think you two are a good match. You should think it over.”

Zhou Xinyao was very enthusiastic and really hoped that Li Bing and Xiao Song could be together.

Xiao Song remained silent, and together with Zhou Xinyao, they carried Li Bing to the bed.

Xiao Song was well aware of Li Bing's feelings for her, but she had already clearly rejected him, and most importantly, her target was Bai Yunchuan.

When it comes to choosing between love and a bright future, Xiao Song has her own way of weighing the pros and cons.

“Madam, I’ll head back to the old house first. You can take care of Li Bing. We’ll meet again tomorrow.”

Xiao Song didn't want to stay in Li Bing's house any longer; she had other plans to make.

Zhou Xinyao frowned and asked in confusion to persuade him to stay.

"What? You're actually going back to the old house? You should stay here tonight. It's too late, and it's not safe for a girl like you to go back alone."

The well-intentioned reminder did not elicit a nod from Xiao Song.

"I'm so sorry, Madam. I only took a few hours off this time. During that time, the young master was taken care of by the old butler and the others. I can't keep asking them for help, so I still have to go back to the old house."

Xiao Song had anticipated Zhou Xinyao's question and blurted it out.

Zhou Xinyao was taken aback. She thought that a new postpartum nanny had been found to take care of Bai Yuechen long ago, but she didn't expect that Xiao Song was still looking after him.

Helpless, Zhou Xinyao still thought of Bai Yuechen's sake and didn't try to persuade Xiao Song to stay. Anyway, she was going back to the old house tomorrow, so it didn't matter whether Xiao Song stayed here or not.

"Then you should hurry back. Be careful on the way. Tell me when you get to the old house and send me a text message to let me know you're safe."

Zhou Xinyao urged Xiao Song to leave, wanting him to return to the old house to take care of Bai Yuechen.

Before leaving, Xiao Song deliberately turned his head to take a look at Li Bing, who was still in a daze.

"Madam, please take good care of Li Bing. He drank quite a lot this time."

Zhou Xinyao nodded in agreement and saw Xiao Song to the door.

After Xiao Song stepped out of the house, he hurried to the entrance of the community and quickly hailed a taxi to go to the old house.

This anxious mood wasn't because she wanted to go back and take care of Bai Yuechen as soon as possible, but because Xiao Song had other plans to carry out.

After a long taxi ride, Xiao Song finally arrived at the old house.

It was already very late, but most people were still awake and resting in their rooms.

Xiao Song first went to the nursery to check on Bai Yuechen's condition and found that Bai Yuechen was already asleep. She quickly walked over with a smile.

"Old housekeeper, thank you so much. I'm really sorry to trouble you. Could you watch the house for me a little longer? I'm going to the restroom."

After saying that, Xiao Song quickly left, rushing to the outside of Bai Yunchuan's bedroom.

He knocked lightly on the door, and Bai Yunchuan's cold voice came from inside.

"Please come in."

Xiao Song opened the door and went inside.

Bai Yunchuan saw that the person who came in was Xiao Song, and his eyebrows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

"What are you doing here? It's so late. What do you need me for? If there's nothing else, you should hurry back and take care of the young master."

Bai Yunchuan thought that Xiao Song was looking for him because of Bai Yuechen's problem.

Xiao Song did not answer Bai Yunchuan's question, but stepped forward and said anxiously.

"Mr. Bai, I just spoke with your wife on the phone, and I heard a man's drunken voice next to her..."

"And I recognize that voice; it's Li Bing's voice..."

Xiao Song hesitated, the content of the painting prompting countless possibilities.
