So, was the message you sent before sincere or just a joke?

"I've told you many times to be careful about your safety and bring bodyguards with you when you go out.

Can you guarantee that you will be so lucky every time?

Fortunately, Xiaoxiao is here to help you this time.

“There was a hint of severity and worry in his words.

Cui Yun felt very aggrieved by her brother's serious words. She quietly defended herself, "I had no idea my classmates would act like that! I've always kept a low profile at school. They shouldn't have known about me..."

Her voice sounded a little choked, full of helplessness and anxiety.

Yu Xiao, who was sitting in the passenger seat, calmly interrupted the argument and said, "Don't blame Cui Yun too much. After all, she just went through something terrifying. Let her rest tonight, and we can deal with the rest tomorrow."

As she spoke, she turned around and found that her sister's eyes were wet. She was trying hard to hold back the tears. She just pouted her lips slightly, trying to look strong.

My brother sighed and said in a much softer tone, "I'm just worried about your safety. Don't cry. I'll take you home now so you can have a good rest."

After Cui Yun arrived home safely, the remaining two drove to another location and started a new journey.

"Xiaoxiao, do you think you still remember clearly what happened tonight?"

The man asked the woman beside him, with a probing look in his eyes.

"Well, I remember it quite clearly."

Yu Xiao spoke slowly, her voice steady and calm, "I wasn't completely drunk. When I saw those people trying to bully Cui Yun, I immediately took action."

Not only that, she had actually noticed the weird atmosphere between Shangguan Lan and Zhang Shian in a very short time, so she deliberately began to act drunk in order to distract their attention.

But because he had indeed drunk quite a bit of alcohol, Yu Xiao felt a little confused at this moment.

Today, she finally ended all her ties with the Shen family. She was so happy that she couldn't control herself and ended up drinking a little too much.

She didn't even notice that her cheeks were slightly flushed, and her eyes were bright and a little confused, as if she had really drunk a lot of alcohol.

Lu Zhiyao also felt so, and couldn't help but care more about the woman in front of him.

"Xiaoxiao, you're drunk. Can you handle taking you home by yourself?"

He looked at her slightly drunk face with a hint of concern in his eyes. After all, her current condition made him a little worried about her safety.

"Why not?"

Xiaoxiao raised her head slightly. The dizzy feeling after drinking made her feel relaxed and satisfied.

The alcohol made her bolder, and even her words revealed an unusual free and easy tone.

She half-closed her eyes and asked lazily, "If I can't handle it, Master Lu, will you help me?"

That sentence was meant as both a joke and a test, hoping to get a positive answer from him to reassure herself.

"meeting."

Lu Zhiyao's concise and powerful answer seemed to give Yu Xiao great comfort and courage.

The car was so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be heard. This short word echoed softly in the air, but it suddenly made Yu Xiao feel an unprecedented excitement.

The feeling was very subtle, as if something was slowly melting and flowing into her heart, warm and expectant.

Perhaps it was because he was drunk to give himself courage, but the thoughts that he had kept hidden in his heart during the day and dared not say out loud finally found the opportunity to be expressed.

"Lu Zhiyao, do you like me?"

She asked the question almost directly, without much concealment or hesitation.

There was a hint of nervousness in his tone, but more of an urgent desire to know the answer.

"like."

Lu Zhiyao responded almost without hesitation.

This clear and concise answer was like a thunderbolt to Yu Xiao, who was in a state of chaos, making her already confused brain even more confused.

The word "silly" was not enough to describe the shock she felt at that moment.

She was full of doubts and wondered: How could a man like Lu Zhiyao, who had a strong background and prominent status, fall in love with her?

How could the head of a family with great influence in the capital be easily attracted to a woman who had just gone through a divorce?

Although he comes from a family of doctors, this does not seem to be the reason for the other party to be particularly fond of him; in his long journey of life, he is destined to have the opportunity to meet more outstanding and charming female candidates. What exactly caused all this to happen?

Why did you choose to stand by my side in the end?

"Why on earth?"

This question came to her mind again and was spoken out without any reservation, with a slight tremor in her voice and an irrepressible curiosity.

Hearing this, Lu Zhiyao, who was originally holding the steering wheel tightly, obviously increased his strength.

"Xiaoxiao, you've drunk too much."

He tried to answer in a calm tone, trying to calm the atmosphere, but also out of concern for the other person's physical condition.

However, "I'm not drunk, I'm quite sober."

Yu Xiao said stubbornly.

He then unbuckled his seat belt and leaned forward towards the passenger seat. His movements seemed much bolder than usual.

"Tell me, why?"

She followed up on the question that hadn't been fully answered.

A faint aroma of wine filled the air, slowly passing through along with her gentle voice, as if invisibly narrowing the distance between the two people and adding a lot of ambiguous atmosphere to the conversation.

Every word that came out of her mouth seemed to be endowed with special magic, gently brushing past the man's ears and stirring his heartstrings.

This is especially true for Lu Zhiyao, who has extremely keen hearing.

Feeling the warmth rising on his cheeks, his heartbeat involuntarily quickened.

Do you like Yu Xiao?

When this thought came into his mind, he himself was a little surprised; but when he thought about it carefully, the answer seemed to have been clear for a long time - it was indeed like this.

"Can we go back and talk about this first? I'm driving now."

He tried to say this in a calm tone, but in fact his heart was already in turmoil because of the woman beside him who made his heart beat fast.

His fingers had almost turned white from gripping her so tightly, and he tried hard not to turn his head to look at her alluring face.

Every word and every sentence can easily touch the softest part of my heart.

Soon the sound behind him died down, and through the rearview mirror he caught a glimpse of the charming woman leaning back in the back seat with a blushing face and eyes closed.

The slightly opened mouth made a smooth and even breathing sound, as if it had fallen into a sweet dream.
