These words completely stunned me, and even the flight attendant next to me was shocked, clearly quite taken aback.

　　”You, you all…” She looked slightly taken aback, her pretty and lovely face filled with disbelief, and murmured, “How is this possible?”

　　Chen Hui’s pretty face was flushed pink, but her hands were gripping my arm tightly.

　　I was startled and at a loss, but I quickly realized that this was just a feint by Chen Hui; she didn’t want the flight attendants to disturb her rest.

　　So I smiled and said to the flight attendant, “My girlfriend needs to rest. I’ll call you if she needs anything else.”

　　”Well… I’m sorry to bother you.”

　　The flight attendant practically fled in panic; within two seconds, she turned and disappeared.

　　Chen Hui looked at me speechlessly. “Next time I fly, I never want to go on a business trip with you again. I haven’t been able to get a good night’s sleep.”

　　”This has nothing to do with me.” I gave a wry smile. “I didn’t provoke them.”

　　”Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore.” Chen Hui’s expression returned to normal. “I was just impatient just now, don’t overthink it.”

　　”I wasn’t thinking anything.”

　　”Okay, I’ll take a nap. Wake me up when we get there.” Chen Hui closed her eyes again.

　　About an hour later, we arrived at our destination. I woke Chen Hui up, and we got off the plane with our luggage.

　　As soon as I stepped outside, I felt the urge to relieve myself, so I said to Chen Hui, “Manager Chen, I’m going to the restroom. Please wait for me.”

　　“Go ahead,” Chen Hui said. “I’ll wait for you here.”

　　I then went into the bathroom for a while.

　　When I came out, I saw Chen Hui still waiting for me in the same spot, but she seemed to be in trouble, with an angry expression on her face.

　　A man dressed even more handsomely than me was pestering her, saying something that Chen Hui was furious and seemed quite impatient.

　　”Chen Hui…”

　　The man beside her was still relentless, and even reached out to grab Chen Hui’s arm.

　　As soon as I saw Chen Hui in trouble, I rushed over. No matter what, I couldn’t let her be bullied.

　　Chen Hui happened to see me too. She impatiently shook off the man’s hand, ran up to me, and did something that even she herself thought was bold.

　　”Darling, why are you walking so slowly?” she said coquettishly, reaching out to link her arm with mine.

　　As she spoke, she winked at me, probably hoping I would understand what she meant and cooperate appropriately.

　　I gave a wry smile to myself and glanced at the man who had been chasing Chen Hui. Although I didn’t know what relationship this man had with Chen Hui, since she was unhappy, I couldn’t let this man do anything to her.

　　I narrowed my eyes slightly, glanced at the man, then lowered my head again, and saw…

　　With her eyes wide open and an expression of wanting to cooperate, she slightly curled her lips.

　　Since you want my cooperation, then I’ll decide how you want to cooperate.

　　As I was thinking about how to help her, Chen Hui suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed my lips with her hot red lips, but withdrew after a moment.

　　My heart suddenly raced with anxiety…

　　This pose and movement are way too suggestive!

　　”Honey, I’m tired. Let’s go to the hotel.”

　　Before I could even react, I heard Chen Hui’s coquettish voice, like a lover’s sweet whining.

　　A simple action, yet it stunned the other two people on the spot.

　　I never expected Chen Hui to do that. I was completely unprepared and stared blankly at my lips, my wide eyes filled with astonishment.

　　She kissed herself.

　　How could she do this?

　　”Let’s go, darling.”

　　Chen Hui forced a stiff smile that looked worse than a grimace. “She’s been on a plane all night and her back and waist are aching. You’ll have to give her a massage later.”

　　I swear, I’ve known Chen Hui for so long, and this is the first time I’ve ever heard her speak in such a coquettish tone, and in such a flirtatious way at that.

　　A surge of electricity coursed through my body, my heart pounded wildly, my breathing became rapid, and my throat went dry.

　　I couldn’t help but swallow.

　　But no one was interested in whether her smile was genuine or not. The man’s face had changed color several times since she took my arm, becoming dark and unreadable. All his toughness finally collapsed after Chen Hui’s kiss.

　　”You’re not contacting me because of her,” the man said, his face pale and his hands trembling slightly.

　　At this moment, Chen Hui certainly wouldn’t undermine herself. She nodded without hesitation, and to make it more realistic, she also reached up onto my arm with her other hand, her eyes filled with adoration and infatuation as she looked at me.

　　Chen Hui used actions instead of words; even without saying a word, her actions were enough for everyone present to understand her meaning.

　　The man looked at me, his eyes filled with intense hostility, and then said coldly.

　　”Huihui, come home with me.”

　　Chen Hui stood still, tightening her grip on my arm, a gesture that only made the man more displeased.

　　Watching their actions, I knew there must be some story between this man and Chen Hui, but Chen Hui was pretending to be my girlfriend. If I just let this man take her away like this, it would mean I had no backbone.

　　I gave the man a cold look, then said in a deep voice, “With me here, no one can force her to go anywhere she doesn’t want to.”

　　Upon hearing this, Chen Hui was slightly taken aback. Although she knew it was a lie, the domineering and assertive tone still made her heart flutter involuntarily.

　　After I finished speaking, I looked down at Chen Hui and said, “Let’s go.”

　　It’s more like asking a question than asking a question.

　　As I said this, I put my arm around Chen Hui and turned to leave, my demeanor so forceful that no one could refuse.

　　From beginning to end, I didn’t even look at the man directly, except when I shook Chen Hui’s hand.

　　Chen Hui linked arms with mine and we walked forward, her expression growing increasingly grim.

　　I couldn’t help but think to myself, “It’s true that a beautiful lady is sought after by gentlemen. Last night, Qin Xiao came to cause me trouble, and now that I’m in Tianjin, someone else is still causing me trouble.”

　　I don’t know Chen Hui’s true identity. The man was obviously from a well-off family, which shows that Chen Hui’s family is also well-off. No wonder she repeatedly told me to work hard and make progress.

　　It seems I need to work harder, otherwise I’ll face many difficulties and might even let Chen Yao down.

　　After we left the airport, Chen Hui let go of my arm and hailed a taxi to the Hyatt Hotel.

　　This Hyatt hotel was naturally arranged for us by the company’s administration.

　　Chen Hui remained silent the entire way, probably because she was upset. I didn’t say anything either, afraid of provoking her anger.

　　In about half an hour, we arrived at the Hyatt Hotel. Seeing that Chen Hui seemed distracted, I went straight to the front desk to ask for our room number.

　　When the receptionist handed me the key, I realized that the two rooms were actually next to each other.

　　”Manager Chen, let’s go,” I called out.

　　Chen Hui nodded lightly. “Okay.”

　　We took the elevator up to the fifth floor, found our room number, and I opened Chen Hui’s room. “Manager Chen, this is your room. I live next door. If you need anything, just call me or give me a call.”

　　”Okay.” Chen Hui was still somewhat absent-minded, probably because of the man she met tonight.

　　Just as I opened the door to go in, Chen Hui suddenly called out to me, “Tang Zheng.”

　　I turned around in astonishment.

　　”I’ll explain what happened tonight to you sometime.” Chen Hui took a deep breath and then said, “Go take a shower and change your clothes first. I need to talk to you later.”

　　I have a feeling that Chen Hui might be drinking again tonight.

　　This made me increasingly suspicious of her identity.

　　Who exactly is Chen Hui?

　　Just as I finished showering and getting dressed, I heard Chen Hui’s voice from outside the door, “Tang Zheng, are you done showering?”

　　I quickly replied, “It’s all washed.”

　　As I was speaking, I opened the door and found that Chen Hui outside had changed into an off-the-shoulder top and denim shorts.

　　She glanced at me, but didn’t come into the room. She simply said, “Let’s go out and get something to eat.”

　　I thought she would take me somewhere to eat something delicious, but to my surprise, she took me to a barbecue stall next to the hotel.

　　That familiar scene instantly flashed into my mind again. Last time, we were also drinking draft beer and eating barbecue, and she even drank too much that time. Tonight, she actually brought me to eat barbecue again. Isn’t she afraid of drinking too much again?

　　Before I could even open my mouth, Chen Hui had already called out, “Boss, four draft beers, and some grilled chicken legs and vegetables too.”

　　”Okay,” the owner replied, quickly bringing over the four mugs of draft beer we ordered.

　　Seeing those four large mugs of draft beer, I couldn’t help but swallow hard. Looking at Chen Hui, I said, “Manager Chen, after these four, we’ll probably all be drunk…”

　　”Come on, I know your alcohol tolerance.” Chen Hui rolled her eyes at me. “Don’t ask anything, don’t say anything, just drink with me.”

　　As she spoke, she picked up the cup in front of her, tilted her head back, and gulped down a large mouthful.

　　I was terrified. She was trying to drown her sorrows in alcohol again tonight. If we were both single, it would be fine, but she’s my sister-in-law now.

　　I started to feel nervous again, afraid that I had done something terrible.

　　”What are you still standing there for?” Chen Hui glared at me disapprovingly. “Drink…”

　　Left with no other choice, I picked up the glass and gulped it down. I must say, this draft beer was incredibly refreshing.

　　After seeing that I had drunk the wine, Chen Hui didn’t continue to offer me any more. Instead, she picked up her glass and took another big gulp, finishing the entire glass of wine in an instant.

　　A sense of female pride and courage, not inferior to men, arises spontaneously.

　　However, I saw a hint of sadness deep in Chen Hui’s eyes. I didn’t try to persuade her, and I picked up my glass and drank it all.

　　…

　　About an hour later, the two of us had drunk ten glasses of draft beer. I felt like my stomach was filled with a water tank, and my steps started to feel a little unsteady.

　　Chen Hui grinned foolishly and said, “Let’s go back.”

　　As she spoke, she stood up unsteadily. I was really afraid she would fall to the ground. After paying the bill, I shook my head, trying to clear my head, and then, supporting Chen Hui’s arm, headed towards the hotel.

　　She’s drunk again!

　　After walking a few steps, she suddenly stopped, stood still, chest out, head held high, arms hanging naturally at her sides, then turned her head and glanced at herself, tears suddenly flowing silently down her cheeks!

　　This startled me greatly, and I quickly asked, “Manager Chen, what’s wrong?”

　　Chen Hui bit her lip and shook her head, but the tears flowed more and more uncontrollably.

　　Then she started sobbing again, and with each sniffle she looked incredibly aggrieved!

　　”Why am I living such a miserable life, unable to even pursue the life I want…”

　　She raised her hand to wipe her nose, but cried even harder, her voice filled with an overwhelming sorrow.

　　Seeing such a stunning beauty reduced to this state, she suddenly burst into tears, a sight that evoked pity in me!
