Standing behind the door, Zhuang Shuqing looked at the hung-up phone, puzzled. So, what exactly happened last night?
After changing clothes, she walked out of the room just as Lu Jinyang was coming in from outside.
Their eyes met for a moment, both quickly shifting their gazes away.
"Lu Jinyang, you..." She initially wanted to ask him when he had gone out, but the words just wouldn’t come out.
She didn’t continue, and Lu Jinyang acted as if he hadn’t heard anything, walking over to the dining table with something in his hand, "Come have some breakfast."
Zhuang Shuqing slowly moved over, absentmindedly picking up a cup to drink. Suddenly, a large hand appeared in front of her, she looked at him in surprise, silently inquiring.
Zhuang Shuqing felt awkward, coughed embarrassingly, "Sorry, I drank too much last night."
Hearing this, Lu Jinyang stopped what he was doing and looked at her, "You remember that you drank too much last night?"
"...Actually, not much, just a sip."

She could feel that Lu Jinyang’s gaze was penetrating, as if seeing right through her.
Finally, unable to withstand his intense stare, she braced herself and said: "I have the type of constitution that gets drunk easily, so..."
"So knowing you have this issue, you still went drinking?"
"I didn’t intend to drink..." Zhuang Shuqing mumbled, stuffing a steamed dumpling into her mouth, her voice getting softer.
She really didn’t intend to drink; it was all because Tan Biyang had provoked her and she got carried away in the moment.
All of a sudden, she remembered something and asked, "Do you know how I got back last night?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Jinyang didn’t know how to describe his feelings. He knew she had blacked out from drinking; he should have just dealt with her then, as she wouldn’t remember anyway.
"Hey, did you hear what I said?"
Zhuang Shuqing: "..."
Just as they were at a loss for words, the phone on the table rang. Lu Jinyang said disdainfully, "Change the ringtone, it’s awful."
Zhuang Shuqing grabbed the phone and walked toward the balcony, saying as she walked, "Even controlling the ringtone of my phone, you’re really overbearing."
The call was from Qin Huaixin, who Zhuang Shuqing thought might know how the two of them got back last night, but instead, Qin Huaixin urgently said, "Shuqing, hurry, look at the newspaper; if there is no paper, check the news headlines. Oh my, this woman is just crazy!"
Zhuang Shuqing frowned, "What happened? Did you find out about last night?"
"No, not about last night, but related to it. Oh, just go look at the news, I can’t explain it all in a hurry."
With that, Qin Huaixin ended the call.
Zhuang Shuqing opened her phone, and another call from Qin Huaixin came in, only to hear her say, "Zhuang Shuqing, last night I was sent back by Leng Yixing and the driver, but the driver said he didn’t see you, so that’s it, bye."
The call ended, and just as the news page she had opened appeared, she incredulously widened her eyes, cursed, and then stormed back into the living room, stopping in front of Lu Jinyang.
Compared to today’s headline news, how she got back last night no longer seemed important.
She thrust the news page in front of Lu Jinyang, glaring at him furiously, "Lu Jinyang, look at this."
Lu Jinyang, who was having breakfast calmly, took her phone. But the detached demeanor from a second ago turned instantly cold as he took her phone and walked to the room.
