Lu Huaiyu knew then that Ning Li was really drunk.
He took a deep breath and said, “Go back to bed.”
As he said that, he pulled Ning Li back to the bedside.
Ning Li sat down and looked at the cup of water in his hand.
Lu Huaiyu handed her the cup, but she did not take it from him.
She merely cupped Lu Huaiyu’s hand and drank from the cup.
Lu Huaiyu looked down at her messy hair intensely.
After Ning Li had her fill, she leaned back. Her red and plump lips looked glossy.
Lu Huaiyu had always thought that he had excellent self-control, but now he realized that he seemed to have overestimated himself.
He set the cup down on the bedside table and took out a set of baby blue cotton pajamas from the closet next to it.
It was women’s pajamas.
He handed Ning Li the clothes.
“These are new. Sleep well.”
Ning Li nodded as she hugged the pajamas.
Lu Huaiyu turned around and was about to leave.
However, after taking one step, he felt her tugging on his sleeve.
He turned back and saw Ning Li looking at him. She seemed a bit nervous as she asked, “Where are you going?”
Lu Huaiyu stared at her for a while and slowly exhaled.
“I’ll be right next door. The door will be open, so you can call me if you need anything.”
Ning Li seemed to be relieved at this.
She then held up the pajamas in her hand.
“But, how do I change into this?”
Lu Huaiyu was dumbstruck.
Ning Li reached out to touch the back of her neck a few times, but she could not find the zipper of her dress.
She started to get a bit annoyed and her anxiousness increased when she could not find it. The corners of her eyes turned red as she felt so aggrieved that she felt like crying.
Lu Huaiyu walked up to her and held her hand.
The room had been lit with only a bedside lamp. The dim warm light cast a faint shadow on the two overlapping figures.
Ning Li sat on the edge of the bed while Lu Huaiyu knelt on one knee in front of her. His warm and strong hand held on to her anxious and fumbling hands.
He pulled her hand over to the side of her incredibly slender waist and said in a deep and hoarse voice, “Here.”
The zipper of her dress was on the right side of her waist. It had been hidden well because it had been incorporated into the seams.
Ning Li’s fingers fumbled around and finally touched something cold and hard.
She breathed a sigh of relief. Her eyes were glistening, which shook the man’s heart and soul.
Ning Li then moved to pull it down.
Lu Huaiyu pressed her hand down to stop her.
Ning Li then lifted her eyes to look at him in confusion. “Lu Huaiyu…”
She frowned gently and could not quite understand why he would not let her get changed.
“Wearing this is not comfortable…”
Lu Huaiyu’s Adam’s apple moved. He felt as if something inside him was screaming to break free from its restraints.
He was so tense.
“I know.”
He was also uncomfortable now.
“You can change when I go out.”
He then said in a commanding tone, “You can change after I close the door. Got it?”
Ning Li nodded her head in a daze.
Only then did Lu Huaiyu get up to leave.
He was about to close the door when Ning Li said, “Don’t lock it.”
Lu Huaiyu paused for a bit and left the door open slightly.
He then leaned against the wall and tilted his head slightly.
The sound of the zipper being pulled open came from inside the room.
Lu Huaiyu’s body became stiff.
Then, he could hear the rustling sound of clothes.
He ripped open the top two buttons of his shirt, closed his eyes, and was in an unprecedented state of distress.
After a while, the movement inside finally subsided.
“Lu Huaiyu?” Ning Li called out to him.
Lu Huaiyu did not move. “I’m here.”
Ning Li was quiet.
After a few minutes, she shouted again, “Lu Huaiyu?”
Lu Huaiyu leaned against the wall and gently closed his eyes.
“I’m here.”
After a long time, Ning Li finally fell into a deep sleep and went completely silent.
Lu Huaiyu’s long legs were slightly bent. He opened his eyes and looked ahead.
The lights in the villa were turned off, so he could only see a rough outline of the villa.
His phone vibrated, so he took it out and saw that it was a message from Cheng Xiyue.
[Is Little Ning Li asleep?]
Lu Huaiyu replied. [Sleeping.]
Cheng Xiyue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Little Ning Li was drunk, and her drunken self was quite…intriguing.
She seemed fine after all.
[Then, you should sleep early as well.]
Lu Huaiyu had not gotten his rest in the afternoon because of the party, so he was probably quite tired.
Lu Huaiyu stared at the message for a while and snorted.
‘How can I sleep like this?’
….
Ning Li slept very soundly this time and was eventually woken up by thirst.
She was dazed and confused when she opened her eyes. After sitting up, she turned her head and saw a glass of water on the bedside table, so she took it.
The warm water seeped down her throat and instantly woke her up.
She paused for a moment and looked at the cup.
It was a fine and simple cup, and did not belong to her.
Out of the corner of her eye, she thought that the quilt looked familiar.
‘This isn’t the Ye family’s house.’
She then looked up stiffly and looked around.
‘This is…Lu Huaiyu’s house! Isn’t this the same room that I slept in previously?’
A trace of uneasiness surged into her heart. Ning Li suddenly realized something and looked down at her body.
Pink and blue women’s pajamas!
Her mind instantly went blank.
‘What the hell happened last night?! How did I come to Yunding Fenghua?’
She looked at her phone and saw that it was already Sunday, 9:00 am.
‘Did I actually sleep here all night?’
However, this was not the most pressing issue.
‘Who changed my pajamas?!’
She quickly lifted the covers and got up, then she went outside.
Just before she got to the door, she bumped into someone’s arms.
Lu Huaiyu held her shoulders. “You’re awake?”
Ning Li raised her head. “Second Brother?”
Lu Huaiyu’s eyes twitched slightly.
Ning Li spoke with difficulty, “W-why…am I here?!”
Lu Huaiyu heard this and narrowed his eyes dangerously. After a long time, he smiled.
“You don’t remember?”
