Chapter 119: Confrontation (2)
Her footsteps were still light and airy, but she walked extremely fast, and wasn't afraid of falling over. It was as if something was chasing her from behind, making her so flustered.
She had just turned a corner and almost collided with someone leaning against the wall.
She slowly raised her head and saw Cang Mu leaning against the wall, staring at her.
He asked her if she wanted company? She should have let him come along with her, maybe that way, they wouldn't have run into that person.
"Where did he go?"
He opened his mouth, his gaze still fixed on her face.
She just reacted and hastily collected her frightened eyes: "No... didn't you go to the bathroom?" She muttered.
He smiled slightly as he met her, and his smile was very good-looking, more gentle than usual.
She stretched out her hand and thought he was going to do something, but he actually touched her face.
Long fingers, with a warm touch, he gently brushed her cheek under her eyes with his thumb.
"The water hasn't dried yet..."
He said it without sarcasm, without anger, just like a very calm statement of fact: the water on her face was from when she had splashed water on herself in the bathroom and hadn't dried yet.
She hastily backed away, wiping her hands randomly, without even realizing... that there were still water droplets on her face.
Cang Mu suddenly stood up and turned towards another end of the corridor, where another person was standing quietly, staring this way.
Xue Luo saw Cang Mu's movement and was startled in her heart, she also looked back at the road they came from, and Yi Xiang Tian Zheng was also looking over here.
A flash of panic crossed her eyes, and she hastily looked up at the person beside her, only to see him slightly curling up the corners of his lips.
She looked up at Yi Tian on the other end, a little far away from her. She couldn't see his expression clearly, but in her heart, she was so flustered that she didn't know what to do.
She couldn't think of what would happen next, but the people around her seemed to have finished watching a painting or a play, without expressing any thoughts or words, turned around, hugged her and walked towards the private room.
Her heart was still racing violently, her body stiff, and she could only move forward mechanically with his pace.
I really want to turn around and take a look, but it's already meaningless, so it's better not to look.
Inside the private room, it was still lively, still filled with smoke and laughter.
Inside and outside the gate, she seemed to have entered two different worlds.
Everyone present saw them come in and immediately started teasing.
"Sister-in-law, are you lost?"
"Who can get lost? Eldest sister is waiting there specifically for eldest brother to pick her up..."
"Can't see, must be Vitto's orders, right? Let the beauty wait and then sneak out to take a leak, doesn't want us to see, huh? You say so, we can all close our eyes..."
"You guys are really something! Can Vito still be this late? Look at what you're saying..."
Some people jump out to argue for justice, but make others feel like they are covering up the more they explain.
"Then I'm leaving, should I be fined a drink?"
Cang Mu sat down with a smile on his face, looking very pleased.
Snowflakes fell, and he couldn't help but steal a glance at him. He was taking out a cigarette from the pack and lighting it with the service staff's lighter, taking a few puffs.
It was her first time seeing him smoke, with a thin cigarette dangling from his lips, and he looked surprisingly sexy.
He might have felt her gaze, so he slightly turned his head towards her and softly said: "Let's give everyone a bow..."
"Oh..."
Snowflakes fell whispering in response to the sound, and hurriedly lowered her head to hold up the wine cup in front of her, but the wine in the cup had already been replaced with willow spring water.
"I bow to everyone..."
——(
She stood up, and the rest of them saw it too, and they all quickly stood up as well.
"Hey sister-in-law, you're giving us this... it seems a bit..."
The Carter opposite frowned.
"Right, sister-in-law, why don't we add some more vodka..."
"Waiter, help adjust the wine..."
Someone said to the attendant standing on one side early.
The snow fell as she gazed at the cup in her hand being taken away by the waiter. She glanced at the person beside her, but he didn't speak up, and neither did she say anything more.
However, it seems like new problems have emerged again.
"Sister-in-law, you don't seem very sincere when we all toast together... how about one by one..."
"Exactly! Sister-in-law, I haven't toasted you yet... Let me toast you first!"
Gong Yunxiu hastily picked up the cup in front of him and raised it towards Xue Luo.
"I'll go first..."
She felt a bit constrained, glanced at the wine in her cup, took a deep breath, raised her head and drank it all in one gulp.
The vodka was added in moderation, but still managed to bring out the flavor of the wine, although it was mostly a mixture of green plum juice.
Like this, one by one bowed their heads in respect, and the people around remained silent.
It wasn't until she had drunk her eighth cup that he suddenly reached out and snatched the cup from her hand, downing it in one gulp.
"Wow, boss, you forgot to substitute for drinking and have to be fined ten cups?"
He didn't say a word, but took the whisky bottle from one side, poured a full glass of wine: "Owe it, and pay it back next time..." He said, drank it in one breath, then stood up, pulled up the person beside him, "We'll leave first..."
Before she could even react, he had already pulled her out of the private room.
"Hey Vito, why did you leave without saying anything?"
"What happened?"
"He can't hold it in anymore..."
Then came the sound of stifled laughter, and after that everything was shut off from outside the door, nothing could be heard.
Snow fell with his footsteps stumbling all the way to the elevator door.
