Chapter 2140: Chapter 2143: A Warm Feeling, So Close Yet So Far
"Why did you drink so much just now? Drinking damages your health." Maimai raised her head and poked his face: "Look at you, your face is all flushed, smelling of alcohol. Don’t drink so much next time."
Listening to her words, Sheng Sheng felt helpless, thinking it was because of her that he was upset. He put one arm around her waist, his gaze transitioning from cold anger to softness, finally turning into tenderness. The gentle look made Maimai’s anxious heart relax a bit.
Their silhouettes stretched long, very long, sometimes overlapping, sometimes separating, as they continued walking along the silent path together.
Even though it was spring, the nights were still a bit cold.
A gust of cold wind hit, and Maimai shivered, not accustomed to it. Sheng Sheng felt her tremble and took off his coat to wrap around her thin body tightly.
When they reached the entrance of the club, Sheng Sheng patted her shoulder and said, "Wait for me here, I’ll go get the car."
Perhaps influenced by the current atmosphere.
Maimai worried that it might be dangerous for Sheng Sheng to drive in this state. Her beautiful eyes focusing on his back, watching Sheng Sheng in his western leather shoes, she couldn’t help but call out, "Sheng Sheng."
Sheng Sheng turned his head, his eyes lightly resting on Maimai, standing there waiting for her to continue.
Maimai bit her lip, thinking that if she didn’t handle this well tonight, he’d surely be constantly at odds with her. Maimai was very adept at reading situations, having spent the entire evening contemplating how to defuse the situation. She felt she had performed well just now; now she added a bit of effort, murmuring, "You’ve been drinking, don’t drive. It’s dangerous."
Her words were extremely soft and gentle, entering Sheng Sheng’s ears, full of charm.
Sheng Sheng slightly furrowed his brows, looking at Maimai’s flushed face, the little lady’s charming demeanour fully evident. He walked up to her, tidying a few strands of her hair near her temples, looking at her for a while, pausing again before taking out his car keys from his pocket:
"You drive. Who knows where to find a designated driver now?"
Maimai promptly nodded obediently, holding his car keys, looking at Sheng Sheng and saying, "Then stay here and don’t wander off, I’ll bring the car over!"
Heading towards Sheng Sheng’s car.
With great relief, she exhaled deeply all the way.
Recalling his fierce words when entering, she was truly afraid he’d hit her after the banquet, and now she had cleverly defused the crisis. Maimai patted her forehead, speaking to herself, "Fortunately, I was quick-witted!"
If he had really lost his temper, he would have used a whip.
Qingqing deeply sympathized, often telling her that when Sheng Sheng wielded a whip, he showed no mercy or tenderness, not even to Qingqing!
But seeing him walk unsteadily, how could she be assured of him driving?
.............................
Sheng Sheng sat in the passenger seat, tugging at his tie, his eyes holding a layer of laughter.
In the smile, there were touches of softness!
It seemed something had quietly warmed his heart, and that warmth felt near.
Driving the car into Sheng Sheng’s high-end apartment’s car park, parking, supporting him upstairs.
Sheng Sheng’s half-body weight pressed against her, Maimai struggled under the strain, starting to get upset again, grumbling, "Why drink so much!"
After much effort to get him inside the room, Maimai was almost exhausted to death.
