At first, Lin Mubai wanted to continue indulging this woman in her game, but realizing it was getting late and considering that this little woman had just finished flying today and needed a good rest, he suddenly thought of a good way to end the game without giving the other side a reason to be upset.
After downing another glass of white liquor, he directly placed the cup on the table, stood up, and staggered out of the room, shouting in a slightly drunken tone, "Not playing anymore, my head is dizzy, I want to sleep."
The sudden change in situation left a few clear-headed people momentarily unable to react.
As Lin Mubai had already stepped a foot out of the room, Xi Shaoqi quickly stood up and chased after him, saying, "Mu Bai, slow down, I’ll take you to rest in your room."
As his words fell, the silhouettes of the two men disappeared from everyone’s view.
Soon, with two people missing, the game couldn’t continue.
At this time, An Nan also stood up to say goodbye, "I’m leaving first." As her words fell, without waiting for everyone to retain her, she directly left the room, her stable steps not resembling someone who had just drunk quite a few glasses.
When Xi Shaoqi returned to the room and couldn’t find An Nan, his heart filled with unease, which made his tone towards everyone hold more dissent, "Nannan just drank so much, how could you let her leave like that."
Xi Yu quickly explained, "Sister Nannan left too quickly just now, we hadn’t reacted before she disappeared."
Xi Shaoqi, not being unreasonable, knew well deep down that with An Nan’s character, if she was determined to leave, no one could persuade her otherwise. Shaking his head helplessly, he continued instructing everyone, "Help Lan Luo and Tianchen to their rooms, and Yuwen shouldn’t go back tonight, all rest at ’Champs Elysees’."
Gao Yuwen, who was mentioned, swiftly replied, "Thank you."
Silently following behind everyone, Gao Yuwen’s eyes were full of sharpness. As long as she could stay here, her chances would increase.
If she could manage Lin Mubai tonight, she wouldn’t worry about chasing away An Nan, and by that time, this man would completely belong to her, and she would have more chances to become the Young Madam of the Lin Family.
After arranging for everyone, Xi Shaoqi returned once more to his good brother Lin Mubai’s room.
Inside, the man no longer showed the appearance of being drunk, his eyes clear, and features defined. As he saw Xi Shaoqi step in, his sharp black eyes swept over instantly, "Where is she?" Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novel·fire.net
No need to ask more, Xi Shaoqi immediately understood who he meant, and then truthfully replied, "I just returned to the room, and she was nowhere to be seen."
Lin Mubai’s eyebrows quickly furrowed, and the next moment, he picked up his jacket ready to leave, seeing this, Xi Shaoqi hurriedly called him, "Where are you going?"
The reply from the other was in a voice that didn’t turn back, "I’m not at ease."
Once the sound of the closing door reached his ears, Xi Shaoqi’s mouth curved into a shallow smile, then he moved to the room’s floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the night’s curtain outside, standing for a long time.
"Nannan, I wish you happiness."
As these six words crossed his mind, a faint sourness passed through his heart, perhaps he already sensed such a strong feeling when he knew his good brother liked An Nan, and as he wasn’t emotionally obtuse, he naturally understood why such a feeling existed. But at that time, he knew he was already too late, and could only bury such sourness in the deepest part of his heart, becoming a lifelong bystander, watching her find happiness.
