? Helplessly, Su Banxia helped him up from the table and guided him out of the restaurant. But moving a drunk man was no easy task for a woman. Stumbling and staggering, she finally found the car and managed to get him inside, nearly exhausting all her strength. Leaning against the car to catch her breath, Pei Shaoze suddenly stumbled out of the vehicle again. Under the dim streetlight, Pei Shaoze tilted his head, his shirt unbuttoned at four buttons, practically hanging open. His shoulders were broad, his chest firm, and the hollow of his collarbone curved attractively. Su Banxia frowned at him, seeing his eyes half-closed as he stared at her, his gaze deep and low, as if lost in thought. Knowing he was drunk and seeing how late it was, she walked over and reached out to support him. Before her hand could touch him, he yanked her into his arms, holding her tightly, lowering his head toward her. As his handsome face inched closer, Su Banxia’s body tensed up. She spoke, “President Pei, you’ve had too much to drink. Where do you live? I’ll take you home.” “Home?” Pei Shaoze let out a cold laugh. “You want to go to my home? For what?” Su Banxia was a bit speechless. She looked at him and said, “To take you back. It’s late, don’t you want to go home?” Pei Shaoze grabbed her hand, pulling her closer with force, and sneered, “You want to come home with me?” Su Banxia: “…” Sober or drunk, he was always a handful—truly impossible to deal with! Taking a breath, she said patiently, “I’m not going home with you. I’m taking you home. If you don’t want to go, are you planning to spend the night here?” Pei Shaoze seemed not to hear her. He gently lifted her chin and leaned in closer. His dark eyes fell on her lips, and his Adam’s apple bobbed involuntarily. He couldn’t help but want a taste. “It should be sweet!” With that, he lowered his head and pressed his lips to hers, gently licking. Like a child tasting a favorite candy, he was unusually delighted. Su Banxia was stunned by the kiss, momentarily unable to speak. When she saw Pei Shaoze about to kiss her again, she blocked him and said, “President Pei, you’re drunk. Let me take you home!” Pei Shaoze didn’t respond, just stared at her. After a long pause, he let out another inexplicable cold laugh. “Su Banxia, are you trying to seduce me?” Psycho! Su Banxia was getting angry. She shoved him away and snapped, “Pei Shaoze, I’ll ask you one more time: where do you live? If you don’t want to say, then stay here alone. I’m going home. I don’t have time to waste with you.” She had promised her two kids she’d be back to spend time with them. Being held up by him like this was infuriating. Pushed back a few steps, Pei Shaoze stumbled, steadied himself, and looked at Su Banxia. Seeing her dark expression and obvious anger, he paused, lowered his head, and fell silent. Su Banxia didn’t know what to do with him. She was furious but couldn’t just leave him there. So she stepped forward and asked, “Where do you live?” “Yicheng Shanshui Villa.” “Which building? Which door number?” Seeing he wasn’t being difficult, her voice softened a little. After that, Pei Shaoze seemed to be completely drunk. His tall frame leaned against the car, and he stopped talking. Thinking he had fallen asleep, Su Banxia had no choice but to help him into the car, start the engine, and head straight for Yicheng Shanshui. Halfway there, her wrist was suddenly grabbed. She was driving and nearly jumped in surprise. Glancing sideways, she saw Pei Shaoze looking at her, his thin lips moving. “Do you like Yan Xin?” Su Banxia’s mouth twitched. What kind of weird question was that? To avoid trouble, she replied flatly, “We’re almost home. Get some rest.” Pei Shaoze didn’t seem willing to hear that. His face darkened as he stared at her and said coldly, “What do you see in Yan Xin?” Su Banxia frowned. Was this guy ever going to stop? Ignoring him, she kept driving. Luckily, Yicheng Shanshui wasn’t far, so she arrived quickly. Pei Shaoze was very unhappy with her driving skills. As soon as he got out of the car, he unfortunately threw up. Standing behind him, Su Banxia felt a twinge of guilt. She looked around—Yicheng Shanshui was a wealthy villa district. She didn’t know Pei Shaoze’s exact address, so she couldn’t find it right away. She had to wait for him to finish. After a while, Pei Shaoze’s alcohol level had dropped significantly, and he was much more sober. He walked to the trunk, took out a bottle of mineral water, and rinsed his mouth. His cold eyes fell on Su Banxia, his dark gaze half-lidded, still icy. Seeing he was clear-headed, Su Banxia asked, “President Pei, which building and door number is yours?” Pei Shaoze seemed unwilling to acknowledge her. He gave her a cold look, then got back into the car and drove off. Drove off. Su Banxia stood there, stunned and confused. That jerk had just left her here in the middle of the night… She was fuming, wanting to kill him. But she was helpless. She fished her phone out of her bag, about to call a taxi, when it rang. The caller ID showed Pei Shaoze. She really didn’t want to answer, but she took a breath, suppressed her anger, and picked up. “President Pei, hello.” “Building 36. Walk straight along the tree-lined path.” His voice was ice-cold. Su Banxia was in a bad mood too. She said directly, “No need. Since you’re safely home, I’ll head back now.” She’d never met such a despicable man. “Outside cars can’t get in here. Do you want to stay out all night?” With that, he hung up. Su Banxia didn’t know how to describe her feelings. This man was truly… shameless! It was already late at night. Outside cars couldn’t enter, and walking out would be too far. The cars inside certainly wouldn’t give her a ride. So… She had no choice but to go to Pei Shaoze’s place to borrow a car. Following his directions, she found his villa—a Western-style building. The front yard was all lawn, with two Roman columns at the entrance. It looked luxurious but desolate, lacking a sense of warmth. The villa’s front door was open, so Su Banxia walked in. The hall lights were on, and she pushed the door open. She frowned slightly, not seeing Pei Shaoze. She glanced at the yard—the car was gone, probably parked in the underground garage. “President Pei!” She called out into the empty hall. But only an echo answered her. Helpless, she entered the villa and looked around. She saw Pei Shaoze’s car keys on the shoe cabinet. He must have gone into the bedroom. “Bang!” A sound came from upstairs, like something breaking. Instinctively, Su Banxia went up to the second floor. She looked around and spotted a half-open bedroom door. It was probably Pei Shaoze’s room. She knocked on the door, but no one answered. Thinking he might still be drunk, she pushed the door open and went in. The bedroom was dimly lit, the curtains drawn. “President Pei!” She called out, but no one responded. Instead, she heard water running in the bathroom, a steady trickle, like someone showering. Alright. Now she just had to wait for Pei Shaoze to come out.
