Chapter 1211: Chapter 1211

Because Xiao Zheng knows that in such painful circumstances, although drinking can’t solve the root problem, it can at least make her feel a little better.

There’s a saying that goes, "Alcohol drowns sorrow, but sorrow only deepens," yet sometimes, from Xiao Zheng’s perspective, drinking does have a little effect.

Although the problems still need to be faced when sober, getting drunk allows for a brief respite from these worries.

Regarding alleviating sorrow, it’s more like an escape.

Later on, even Liu Hanyan herself might not have been clear on what she was mumbling.

Seeing her drink too much, Xiao Zheng finally put down his own glass, settled the bill, lifted her body, and prepared to go home.

He brought Liu Hanyan to her bedroom, placed her on her bed, and covered her with a blanket before intending to leave.

But just then, as Xiao Zheng straightened up, suddenly his wrist was grabbed by Liu Hanyan, and caught off guard, Xiao Zheng fell onto the bed.

Before he could figure out what was happening, Liu Hanyan flipped over and pressed onto him. Despite being drunk, Liu Hanyan’s agility was surprisingly unimpaired.

Her legs straddled Xiao Zheng’s body directly, and her arms coiled around Xiao Zheng’s neck like serpents, she wrapped herself around him .

Xiao Zheng’s face changed slightly; this was, after all, Leng Ruobing’s villa. If he were to be forcefully taken advantage of by Liu Hanyan here, it would be fine if undiscovered, but if caught, even jumping into the Yellow River couldn’t clear him of suspicion.

He intended to push Liu Hanyan away, but she seemed very scared, holding onto him tightly, and continuously kissing his neck and face.

Xiao Zheng was helpless, trying hard to dodge, while Liu Hanyan, clearly drunk, was kissing him randomly.

However, she may no longer be aware of where exactly she was kissing; she was in deep intoxication, acting purely on instinct.

She knew that the person she was holding was Xiao Zheng, and she would rather let her body be ravaged by Xiao Zheng than be used as a bargaining chip by her family, sacrificed to that old man.

"Don’t do this, Liu Hanyan." Xiao Zheng said.

But Liu Hanyan still didn’t respond, and after a long while of kissing, she even reached out to try to undress Xiao Zheng.

Xiao Zheng immediately grasped her hands, preventing her actions, gritting his teeth, he flipped over to sit up.

He looked at Liu Hanyan in front of him, though she was drunk and bleary-eyed, she was still staring intently at Xiao Zheng.

"Take me, please, I don’t need you to be responsible," Liu Hanyan said painfully.

Xiao Zheng resolutely shook his head: "You’re just giving up on yourself!"

"So what? I’d rather be ruined by you than given to that old man!" Liu Hanyan said emotionally.

Xiao Zheng’s face immediately turned somber, he stared at Liu Hanyan in front of him, and said clearly, "Liu Hanyan, you listen to me carefully, you’re not at that point yet. Although the entire family has placed pressure on you,

there is still room for maneuver. If at the last moment, you can’t hold on and give up on yourself, who else can help you?"

Liu Hanyan was slightly stunned, suddenly becoming dejected, looking at Xiao Zheng blankly.

"Think about it carefully yourself." Xiao Zheng sighed and left Liu Hanyan’s bedroom, while she ceased to entangle him further.

To be honest, Liu Hanyan’s earlier behavior had made Xiao Zheng quite angry.

Although the things Liu Hanyan faced were indeed troubling, in Xiao Zheng’s view, it hadn’t reached that level yet.

After all, Liu Hanyan and that old man weren’t even remotely linked, and what would actually happen was still uncertain. But if Liu Hanyan gave up on herself now, then truly no one could help her anymore.

When a person utterly collapses, it’s the moment when their life is thoroughly ruined.

Sometimes hope is a terrifying thing, but sometimes hope is also an indispensable thing.

After leaving Liu Hanyan’s bedroom, he closed the door for her, and Xiao Zheng quietly headed towards his own room, afraid of disturbing Leng Ruobing.

But unexpectedly, just as he reached his door and hadn’t opened it yet, the door to Leng Ruobing’s room next door suddenly opened from the inside.

Leng Ruobing walked out with a somber expression.

In fact, when Xiao Zheng originally brought Liu Hanyan back, Leng Ruobing had already noticed, after all, it was odd not to notice two missing people at home late at night.

So she had been keeping an eye out, noticing as soon as Xiao Zheng brought Liu Hanyan back, though she showed nothing, she patiently waited in her room. Latest content published on NoveI-Fire.ɴet

She heard Xiao Zheng enter Liu Hanyan’s room but didn’t hear him leave.

Although she felt a little strange, she thought it inappropriate to impulsively intrude, so she bit her lip and waited patiently.

After a while, she finally heard the sound of a door opening, which was Xiao Zheng coming out of Liu Hanyan’s room. Unable to bear it any longer, she opened her own door.

"Oh, you’re still up so late?" Xiao Zheng asked awkwardly, feeling like he’d been caught in the act, even though he knew he’d done nothing wrong.

"Where have you been?" Leng Ruobing asked, looking at Xiao Zheng.

"Oh, just went out for a stroll," Xiao Zheng replied casually, looking at Leng Ruobing, forcing a chuckle.

But Leng Ruobing obviously wasn’t responding to his words, and just looked at him coldly, her gaze growing increasingly frigid.

This kind of look made Xiao Zheng feel very odd, did this person notice something just now?

However, Xiao Zheng thought to himself, he hadn’t really done anything overly outrageous and had even withstood Liu Hanyan’s advance; he was practically a paragon of virtue!

"Are you sure you just went for a stroll? Alone?" Leng Ruobing continued to ask.

Xiao Zheng was slightly taken aback, observing Leng Ruobing’s expression, he realized she might have discovered that he had just gone out with Liu Hanyan.

"Liu Hanyan was in a bad mood, so I took her out for a drink and then quickly brought her back," Xiao Zheng said, seeing no other way.
