Xia Yangyang stood rigidly in place.
An inexplicable and unsettling emotion surged within her heart.
She had no lingering affection for Lu Haotian.
Yet seeing Lu Haotian in this state was distressing.
In Xia Yangyang’s heart, despite having experienced betrayal,
despite feeling utterly despairing and hateful once,
after completely letting go, Xia Yangyang hoped that this young man, who had once shared her youth, would find happiness.
Xia Yangyang knew that, in fact, back then, Lu Haotian had rely been manipulated by Gong Xue’er.
Seeing him in such pain and still unable to let go of the past made Xia Yangyang feel uneasy.
Xia Yangyang eventually snapped out of it.
She summoned a steward from the deck to escort Lu Haotian back to his room.
Lu Haotian was thoroughly intoxicated.
The steward laid him on the sofa and left.
Xia Yangyang found Lu Haotian’s drunken state sowhat overwhelming.
Xia Yangyang initially wanted to leave and simply ignore it.
But in the end, she couldn’t bring herself to be so harsh.
Xia Yangyang went to the kitchen and fetched so green beans to start making a sobering soup.
Soon, the green bean soup was ready.
Xia Yangyang filled a bowl and brought it to Lu Haotian.
Lu Haotian was no longer lying on the sofa.
Instead, he had staggered to the refrigerator and continued to take out bottles of alcohol to drink.
Xia Yangyang hurried over and grabbed Lu Haotian’s arm directly, "Stop drinking, you’re already drunk. Drink this instead."
Xia Yangyang handed him the sobering soup.
Lu Haotian turned his head, his eyes bleary.
Seeing Xia Yangyang’s face swaying in front of him,
he recognized her and suddenly smiled, "Yangyang, am I dreaming?"
Xia Yangyang frowned, "Lu Haotian, hurry up and drink the sobering soup. I’m leaving."
Perhaps these words struck a nerve in Lu Haotian.
Lu Haotian suddenly grabbed Xia Yangyang’s arm.
A fierce look appeared on Lu Haotian’s face, "You want to leave, where are you going? I won’t allow you to leave, Yangyang. You belong only to , solely to ."
With that, Lu Haotian pulled Xia Yangyang’s arm and then cupped her face and kissed her.
As Lu Haotian’s lips skimd across the corner of Xia Yangyang’s lips, Xia Yangyang snapped out of it.
She leaned backward, almost reflexively performing a grappling technique.
Lu Haotian, being drunk, was naturally no match for Xia Yangyang.
Xia Yangyang was also furious.
Even though she knew he was drunk and acting wildly,
Xia Yangyang still couldn’t tolerate it.
Xia Yangyang grabbed Lu Haotian and pushed him into the bathroom.
She then turned on the cold water.
The ice-cold water poured down from the showerhead.
Lu Haotian fell to the bathroom floor.
Xia Yangyang then turned off the cold water.
Seeing Lu Haotian’s eyes gradually clear, Xia Yangyang spoke, "You’re sober now, aren’t you?"
Xia Yangyang left in a huff.
She returned to her own room.
Xia Yangyang just felt furious, although she knew it was pointless to be angry with a drunk, yet she wasn’t sure why.
Perhaps because Lu Haotian repeatedly brought up things from the past.
Perhaps because he always trampled on her boundaries.
She just felt inexplicably uneasy.
And at that mont, Xia Yangyang greatly missed Gu Qichen.
With Gu Qichen by her side, she always felt at ease.
But this matter, ultimately, couldn’t be discussed with Gu Qichen.
Even if Gu Qichen were betting, he couldn’t tolerate another man forcefully kissing his wife, although it hadn’t been successful.
Xia Yangyang wiped the corner of her lips.
Though she was angry, it was mostly a profound sadness.
