Chapter 156: 156, big shot, you said you don’t want to treat everyone.
People are not born lonely, but become lonely because of the attachments in their hearts.
With a bottle of brandy, Shi Lan drank a big half, enough to make anyone dance passionately like Gu Chengyu, but she seemed exceptionally sober, leaving her seat as if she had been drinking plain water all night.
Chen Beini was so shocked that her pupils trembled, then she was admiringly prostrate.
She now felt that she could unlock a new skill of Shi Lan’s every day and was willingly offering up her own knees.
When a woman is cool, indeed, men have nothing on her.
So, Chen Beini couldn’t resist and posted a status on Weibo.
@Chen Beini’s small account: “I declare that, starting today, I am An Lan’s number one fan. No one is allowed to fight me for this! It’s phenomenal! My CP is absolutely phenomenal!”
Netizens were once again puzzled, wondering what crazy thing these two were up to in the middle of the night.
When Shi Lan walked out of the restaurant, she encountered hot Wind and finally felt a bit of an aftermath.
Sun Ling hurriedly supported her: “Boss, are you really okay?”
Shi Lan pushed her away and shook her head: “Do I look like something is wrong?”
“If you were really drunk, I definitely couldn’t handle it, I’d have to contact Director Yan…” Sun Ling explained.
Upon hearing this, Shi Lan immediately said, “The effects are kicking in, and you’re not calling him yet?”
Doctor Sun was very responsive, needing only Shi Lan’s indication, she immediately grasped her spirit and took Shi Lan’s phone to call Yan Shixiu.
On the other end, Director Yan had just finished a headache-inducing meeting, and he answered immediately upon seeing Shi Lan’s number.
“Director Yan… An Lan had a drinking contest with Gu Chengyu tonight, she drank a lot of brandy and is a bit drunk now. I’ve never looked after someone who was drunk, so I could only contact you.”
“Drunk?” Director Yan frowned. Even if she were to drink with everyone at the banquet, and everyone else collapsed, the lady wouldn’t necessarily react, drinking with Gu Chengyu made her drunk?
“Hmm…” At that moment, Shi Lan cooperated by moaning softly.
After hearing it, Yan Shixiu said, “I’m coming over right away.”
After hanging up, Sun Ling returned the phone to Shi Lan, teasing her: “Boss, you still say you don’t care about Director Yan.”
Shi Lan felt her tolerance for alcohol must have regressed, otherwise, with just a few glasses of brandy, she wouldn’t be blushing and overheating.
Only now did she truly understand the tastes of anticipation, longing, loss, and loneliness in life. Tonight, Yan Shixiu hadn’t come, and suddenly Shi Lan understood the feelings of these words, wishing he would come, wanting to see him; his presence would make everything better.
“Come on, I’ll take you back to your room first.”
After returning to her room, Shi Lan lay on the couch, motionless.
Seeing this, Sun Ling asked anxulously: “Boss, aren’t you going to wash up?”
“Silly, who would know to wash up after getting drunk? I’ll just lie down for a while, you go turn off the light and go to bed.”
“Oh, right, right.” Sun Ling suddenly laughed, “Then I’m heading back to my room, I’ll wake you up at six-thirty in the morning.”
Lying on the couch in the darkness, Shi Lan deeply realized just how contradictory she really was. In her previous life, she dealt with all her family relationships like business transactions, severing them completely, and she didn’t allow herself to have true friends, let alone love.
But since rebirth as An Lan, she had unexpectedly experienced friendship and love, things she viewed as shackles, fully aware they would bring endless trouble, yet she still couldn’t help but dive headfirst into them.
Especially now, she was wholeheartedly staring at the door in front of her, hoping that it could quickly be pushed open by that man…
