Chapter 325: An Embarrassing Scene

Chapter 325: Chapter 325: An Embarrassing Scene

Truth be told, he was no longer angry with Li Muwan.

Even if he only considered her a friend, he still would have come today.

Of course, that was limited to just being friends.

However, Jiang Fan believed there should be a limit to these kinds of things. He silently told himself, ’This is the last time.’

After helping Li Muwan into the car, Jiang Fan drove straight to her home.

But just then, Jiang Fan felt a soft touch on the hand that was gripping the steering wheel. Li Muwan had leaned over...

Jiang Fan glanced at Li Muwan. She had moved closer, half of her body now pressing against his.

Resigned, Jiang Fan could only pull the car over to the side of the road.

Drunk, Li Muwan’s body was burning hot. She was half-leaning on the center console and half-pressed against Jiang Fan.

"Li Muwan..."

Jiang Fan called her name, pushing her back into the passenger seat and forcibly buckling her seatbelt.

Li Muwan’s pliant body leaned back in the passenger seat, but one of her hands grabbed Jiang Fan’s arm.

"Jiang Fan, you’ll come back, won’t you?"

Li Muwan looked at Jiang Fan, her gaze earnest.

Jiang Fan felt he had never seen Li Muwan’s eyes look so clear. For a moment, he couldn’t even be sure if she was truly drunk.

The next moment, however, her gaze suddenly grew hazy.

"You’ll still come back, won’t you?" Li Muwan asked again.

Jiang Fan gently pushed her hand away, settled her back against the passenger seat, and started the car.

"I already made it clear to Xue’Er today that I won’t be returning to the company for the time being. The manager position in the planning department can be handed over to someone else. Supervisor Sun is actually quite capable, and Yu Xiaoyu has a good head on her shoulders, too. That includes you—you’re a person with a lot of initiative, and you have your own ideas when it comes to planning!"

Jiang Fan said all this in a low, steady voice as the car merged back onto the main road.

Li Muwan was silent for a long moment, leaning back in the passenger seat.

When Jiang Fan turned to look at her again, he found that her eyes were closed.

It seemed Li Muwan really had drunk quite a bit.

"Jiang Fan!"

Just then, Li Muwan started calling his name again.

"I’m sorry, Jiang Fan. I know I misunderstood you... I’m sorry..."

With her eyes still closed, Li Muwan muttered a few more words to herself, then slumped back in the passenger seat and fell silent.

Jiang Fan sighed. Looking at Li Muwan, he couldn’t help but let out another sigh.

Half an hour later, they arrived at her apartment.

By then, Li Muwan was fast asleep, completely still.

Jiang Fan simply carried Li Muwan inside. After some difficulty, he found the key in her pocket, opened the door, and gently laid her on the bed.

"Jiang Fan, don’t go!"

Just as Jiang Fan was about to lay her down on the bed, she suddenly threw her arms around his neck.

Slightly startled, Jiang Fan nearly lost his balance and tumbled onto the bed with her.

Her eyes remained closed, but the strength in her arms was immense.

Feeling the strength of her body and smelling her perfume, Jiang Fan was momentarily lost in a daze.

"Jiang Fan, I’m sorry..."

Li Muwan kept murmuring from her lips.

Jiang Fan froze for a second, but just then, Li Muwan suddenly jerked her head up and, with a "BLECH," threw up.

"What the fuck!"

Jiang Fan had no time to react. With Li Muwan still clinging to him, he could only watch as the contents of her stomach gushed out and splattered all over him.

The strong stench of alcohol snapped Jiang Fan back to his senses. ’Shit!’ he cursed inwardly as he quickly helped Li Muwan sit up.

But it was obviously too late. She had thrown up a huge mess all over herself and the bed.

"Sigh..."

Jiang Fan sighed and shook his head in resignation.

After a moment’s hesitation, he had no choice but to lay Li Muwan back on the bed before rushing back to his own apartment.

"You little rascal, what are you doing back so suddenly? I thought you were never coming home again,"

Sun Yanzi was lounging comfortably on the sofa, dressed in a slip.

Seeing Jiang Fan, she immediately got up and walked over.

However, when she saw his sorry state, she frowned.

"What happened to you? How did you end up in this state?"

Jiang Fan gave an awkward smile and said hurriedly, "Yanzi, it’s a long story, but the short version is that Li Muwan got drunk and threw up on me. I’m in a hurry to get out the door. Could I trouble you to look after her?"

Sun Yanzi pinched her nose and nodded quickly. "Alright, go get changed. I’ll wash these for you later. I’ll go check on Manager Li now!"

"Thanks for the help, Yanzi!"

"Why be so formal with me?"

With that, Sun Yanzi headed for Li Muwan’s room.

Jiang Fan didn’t have time to think. He just grabbed a clean set of clothes and jumped in the shower.

’What a fucking mess,’ he thought. Still, he was somewhat relieved that Li Muwan hadn’t thrown up in Yin Ruxue’s Maybach. That would have been a real disaster.

After a quick shower and a change into clean clothes, he came out to find Sun Yanzi had already returned.

"How is she, Yanzi?" Jiang Fan asked quickly.

Sun Yanzi frowned. "What’s gotten into Manager Li, drinking so much? I had no choice but to take off her clothes and wipe her down. She’s sleeping now. We can just wait for her to wake up!"

Jiang Fan sighed and nodded.

"You’re really something, Jiang Fan. It looks like Manager Li has fallen hard for you. She kept apologizing to you in her sleep."

"Ah... th-that’s..." Jiang Fan gave a wry smile. "Yanzi, it’s not what you think!"

"You think I can’t tell?" Sun Yanzi’s eyes were as clear and bright as autumn pools. "I’ve been around the block. I know what I’m seeing!"

Jiang Fan gave an awkward laugh and waved his hand. "Yanzi, I have to go, I have something to do! I’ll leave Li Muwan in your hands!"

"Alright, I get it. Go on, hurry up. Look how impatient you are to get away. It seems I’ve lost my appeal, since you’ve been avoiding me all these days."

"Yanzi, I swear I haven’t been avoiding you on purpose! As soon as I’m done with my business, I’ll report back here first thing!"

"Go on, go on!"

Jiang Fan chuckled, and after leaving his apartment, he first made a trip to the Yang City Toy Carnival. He bought a huge doll and a little princess gift set before finally heading toward Yin Ruxue’s villa.

He arrived at the villa shortly before five in the afternoon. Jiang Fan let out a long sigh of relief; after rushing around, he had at least made it back before dinner.

When he got back to the villa, Jiang Fan saw Yin Ruxue and Nanny Chen busy in the kitchen, while Mengmeng was sitting in the living room, playing with building blocks.

"Daddy, you’re back!" Mengmeng lit up the moment she saw Jiang Fan.

"Mengmeng, look what Daddy brought you!"
