Seeing that there was still time, Tang Song gave Mo Ran a call and told her he’d be over later, then drove home.
First, he planned to see Wen Sha, then drop her off before heading to Mo Ran’s place.
As he approached his home, he indeed saw a drunken Wen Sha leaning against his door. With hazy eyes, she looked at him and cracked a smile, "Brother, I knew you couldn’t bear to leave me behind. You came back after all." ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novelꞁire.net
Tang Song glanced at her, his eyes devoid of much emotion. He took out his cell phone intending to make a call, but Wen Sha suddenly pounced on him, pressing down on the phone.
"Don’t call anyone! Don’t you dare call someone to take me away!"
"You’re drunk," Tang Song stated plainly.
"I’m not! Brother... why don’t you like me? Am I really that bad?" Wen Sha clung to his entire body, her arms tightly embracing his waist.
Tang Song’s hands remained still, his indifferent expression a stark contrast to her clinging fervor.
"Stop it. I’ll call someone to take you home. I need to go out in a bit for something."
Suddenly, Wen Sha grew angry and yelled at him, "Today is New Year’s Eve! What else could you possibly have to do? I know, it’s just an excuse, an excuse so you don’t have to be with me! I don’t care, you’re not allowed to go anywhere today. Otherwise, I’m running away from home! I’ll leave right now..."
No sooner had she spoken than she staggered a few steps, only to be grabbed by Tang Song by the arm.
His brow furrowed with impatience, Tang Song asked coldly, "What exactly are you trying to do?!"
This woman, she was nothing but trouble. He had disliked her since they were children, resenting her for always threatening to run away from home.
How many times had she run away as a child? It was countless.
The first time was when she was seven. She’d sneak into his room and cause havoc while he was out. When he came back and caught her, he told her coldly to get out.
He didn’t know she had run away from home until dinner time when the servant mentioned she hadn’t been seen. Worried that the old man would get angry and not wanting to cause trouble for himself, he went out to look for her.
It took an entire afternoon before he found her next to the trash cans.
After that, it seemed like she played the game of running away from home over and over, leaving home at the drop of a hat!
It was exasperating to watch!
Wen Sha pouted, saying aggrievedly, "You’re scolding me... I just wanted to spend New Year’s Eve with you. Why do you have to be so mean?"
"I don’t want to spend it with you. Go back and celebrate on your own!"
