Xu Weiran watched as the car drove away. Moments later, she returned to the private room.
On the other side, Sheng Yeli drove Tang Dou home and then took the car back to the villa.
He parked at the villa’s entrance and walked around to the passenger side. As he opened the door and was about to lift the girl from the car, he saw that she suddenly opened her eyes.
"Oh, Young Uncle, you’re here?" Sheng Ning’an’s memory was still stuck at the moment she called Sheng Yeli from the KTV.
Since she could still recognize him, it seemed she wasn’t too drunk.
Sheng Yeli looked at her and asked, "We’re home now, can you walk by yourself?"
Sheng Ning’an nodded, instinctively trying to get up, but after several attempts, she realized she couldn’t move and looked up at Sheng Yeli with a pitiful expression, "Young Uncle, my body seems to be tied up, please help me!"
Sheng Yeli’s handsome face darkened. Thinking that he couldn’t reason with a drunk, he reminded her coldly, "Seat belt!"
"Oh!" Sheng Ning’an’s reaction was obviously slower than usual, and even after hearing Sheng Yeli’s words, it took her a long while to respond, moving sluggishly to unbuckle it.
It took several tries to get it off, and when she got out of the car, she bumped her head and teared up in pain.
Sheng Yeli had initially thought that she deserved a lesson and hadn’t helped her at first, but seeing her eyes turn red, he scolded her coldly, "For a girl, who let you drink so much?"
After that bump, Sheng Ning’an sobered up quite a bit. Seeing that Young Uncle was angry, she hurriedly said, "I didn’t drink much, just a bottle of sparkling cocktail!"
Sheng Yeli thought of his sister-in-law’s tolerance of barely a sip of beer before getting drunk, and silently let the topic go. After a moment, he reminded her again, "Anyway, be careful when you go out next time and don’t drink when you’re outside."
"Got it!" Sheng Ning’an nodded obediently.
Although she usually got along well with her Young Uncle, he was still quite scary when angry.
At times like these, playing the good girl was the right move!
Sheng Yeli glanced at her and didn’t continue with the drinking matter, instead asking, "What’s going on between you and Xu Weiran?" It was such a coincidence that the man returned to the country on the very day of this girl’s birthday?
The two of them ended up at the same KTV.
He couldn’t help but wonder.
"We just happened to meet, why?" Sheng Ning’an blinked, puzzled.
"Nothing, go back and rest early." Sheng Yeli suddenly remembered, now that the girl was of age and had her own thoughts, it wouldn’t be his place to interfere if there was indeed something between them.
"Oh!" Sheng Ning’an nodded and was about to head back to the villa when she paused, turned to Sheng Yeli, and said, "But he seems to have become even more handsome. Young Uncle, you’ve got to put in effort, otherwise the title of the research institute’s number one handsome guy is going to be taken by him."
What kinds of strange things occupied this girl’s mind all day long?
Before, her Young Uncle and Xu Weiran were known as the two handsome guys of the research institute, but after Xu Weiran went abroad, her Young Uncle single-handedly held up the institute’s good looks.
For any event, the leaders liked to send her Young Uncle.
It just so happened that Sheng Yeli disliked being in the spotlight and hated such occasions the most.
The leaders always had to spend effort to persuade him.
Sheng Yeli thought about this as well.
Come to think of it, that guy’s return was actually good news for him.
In the future, for things , the leaders probably wouldn’t go looking for him anymore.
