Chapter 2741: Chapter 2741: Step by Step Into Her Heart (5)

If I don’t hurry up and take her home, she’ll cause a scene.

As soon as the car stopped outside the apartment complex, the person who had been dozing off against his chest suddenly seemed electrified and snapped awake.

Her big eyes first darted around inside the car before finally landing on Dan Tingye’s face. She reached out and touched his face.

"I know it’s you who brought me back, thanks! I’m home now, bye!" Her small hand grabbed the car door, pushed it open, and slipped out, moving as quickly as someone who wasn’t drunk.

Her walking was steady, in a straight line, like she was marching, without a hint of a stagger, walking straight ahead.

"You head back first, I’ll stay here and take care of her," Dan Tingye said, getting out of the car swiftly to follow her.

As he walked up and was about to speak, he discovered that her eyes were actually closed!

Walking a straight line with her eyes closed, is this some kind of special skill?

Dan Tingye suddenly hesitated, even forgetting to call out to her, just following her, watching her walk in the right direction even with her eyes closed, reaching the elevator, her little finger raised multiple times but unable to press the button. Frustrated, she squinted open her eyes, pressed the elevator, and then closed them again.

Her cheeks were rosy, with a flush that became even more pronounced in the night breeze, turning so red it seemed like they might bleed.

Reaching the front of the apartment, she started searching for her small bag, rummaging inside to pull out the keys, trying several times to fit the key into the lock but failing each time.

She seemed to be getting anxious, pressing herself against the door and pounding on it.

Her small mouth was mumbling, "Let you open, let you disobey, disobey and you’ll be spanked, I’ll let Tingye come and hit you, tomorrow I’ll demolish you..."

"..."

In her eyes, is he a demolition worker?

Dan Tingye was truly taken aback today; her drunken antics were so endearing it was almost laughable.

He stepped forward, supporting her wobbly little body, took the keys and opened the door, then carried her inside.

He placed her on the sofa, then turned towards the bathroom to get a hot towel to wipe her face. Once he had the towel ready, she was gone!

"Meimei."

Dan Tingye’s first reaction was to look at the room’s door; it was locked from the inside, so she likely hadn’t left.

Could she have gone into the bedroom?

Holding the towel, he entered her bedroom, searched around, but couldn’t find her.

She wasn’t in the master bedroom, the guest room, or even the balcony...

Damn it! Where did she run off to in just the blink of an eye?

His heart tightened, turning from the balcony just as he was about to check the kitchen when he glimpsed a small figure lying on the living room floor.

Her petite body was face down, sprawled on the floor; she had clearly rolled off the couch...

Dan Tingye’s steps halted, looking at Meimei sprawled on the floor asleep without a care, his expression shifted from green to purple.

He walked forward, just reaching out to pick her up, but she kicked him.

"I’m sleepy, don’t touch me, let me sleep," she mumbled with a tone full of childish sulking.

"Let’s clean your face first; you smell like booze, how are you gonna sleep?" Dan Tingye said softly, placing her back on the sofa and wiping her face with the towel.

Meimei opened her eyes to look at him, seemed to recognize him, obediently sat still.
