Chapter 59: Chapter 59: An Ambiguous Atmosphere

"Yep!"

Jiang Fan said, completely unabashed.

He was probably the only person in the world who drove a Maybach but couldn’t afford gas.

Li Muwan pulled out her wallet, took out five red bills, and slapped them into his hand.

"Go get gas. Can we leave now?"

As soon as he took the money, Jiang Fan’s whole demeanor changed. "Of course, of course. Please, get in, President Li."

"I am now your most loyal lackey—ah, no, I mean, assistant!"

Seeing his money-grubbing expression, a faint trace of disgust rose in Li Muwan’s heart.

But she had no choice. Her car had broken down, so she had to take Jiang Fan’s. After all, it would be a loss of face for the company if the General Manager of Xuerong Group’s sales department showed up in an ordinary car.

After she got in, Jiang Fan didn’t hesitate and headed straight for a gas station. He hadn’t been kidding Li Muwan; the car was really out of gas.

If he didn’t get his bonus tomorrow, he was planning on using a rental bike to get to work.

"Fill it up with 500 yuan!"

Jiang Fan slapped down the five red bills, looking exceptionally generous.

This series of actions made Li Muwan pause. ’So he really didn’t have money for gas.’

’I must have misunderstood him. He wasn’t deliberately trying to annoy me, was he?’

After filling up, Jiang Fan grinned. He could drive for another week now.

"Hold on tight, President Li! We’re heading out at full speed!"

Jiang Fan’s driving skills were no joke. He turned a thirty-minute drive into a twenty-minute one.

However, Li Muwan’s pretty face had turned a little pale. She shot Jiang Fan a vicious glare.

He had driven so fast that it had made her feel a bit unwell.

"President Li, do you need me to accompany you upstairs?"

"You’re just an assistant. What makes you qualified to go up?"

"You just wait for me down here. I’ll call you when I’m done."

"Don’t you go anywhere. Otherwise, you can forget about your 2,000 yuan salary, and there won’t be a bonus either!"

After speaking, Li Muwan tossed her head, turned on her exquisite high heels, and strode away arrogantly.

Jiang Fan rolled his eyes. If he weren’t trying to get that bonus from her, he wouldn’t give her the time of day.

’Who does she think she is, acting so high and mighty!’

Bored out of his mind sitting in the car, Jiang Fan even managed to take a nap.

When he was woken up by a call from Li Muwan, he realized he’d been asleep for over four hours.

"Come get me at the elevator. I’m a little unsteady on my feet."

Only then did Jiang Fan realize Li Muwan’s voice was tinged with drunkenness, a complete departure from her usual ice-cold, sharp-tongued manner.

It even held a trace of flirtatious charm.

The feeling startled Jiang Fan so much that he reflexively slapped himself across the face.

’I actually thought she sounded charming? Is the world about to end?’

Still, he didn’t dare to delay. He hurried to the elevator in the underground parking garage and saw Li Muwan leaning against the wall, barely able to stand.

He wasn’t sure if it was his imagination, but when she saw Jiang Fan approach, she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Jiang Fan reached out to support her and slowly walked her toward the car.

"If you can’t hold your liquor, you shouldn’t drink so much next time. I’m telling you, what if someone took advantage of you?"

"You’d be crying your eyes out then."

"No... no choice... If I don’t partner with those two companies... I think... the deal was almost done."

"The impact... on the company... would be... just too great."

Li Muwan was completely wasted, her words broken and slurred.

Her whole body went limp, pressing against Jiang Fan, whose own body stiffened.

’So this is what Li Muwan, who’s always wrapped up in professional attire, is packing underneath.’

She also gave off a faint, pleasant fragrance that drilled right into his nostrils.

Fortunately, his self-control was exceptional.

"Manager Li, where do you live? Should I take you home first?"

Jiang Fan asked tentatively.

"What for? Trying to find out where I live, huh? You got ideas about me?"

"Did... did you fall for your big sister?"

"You’re handsome, but let me tell you, you don’t stand a chance."

Jiang Fan rolled his eyes. The drunk Li Muwan was the complete opposite of her usual self.

She spoke in a soft, weak voice, and there was even a hint of a coquettish whine.

"You’re this drunk, I have to take you home. What ’ideas’ are you talking about?"

"When you’re drunk, you go home and sleep it off, right?"

Jiang Fan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

"Is that so? Then... do you want to sleep with me?"

Li Muwan looked up and asked, her eyes hazy and unfocused.

Jiang Fan subconsciously nodded, then frantically shook his head.

"Such a dishonest little boy."

"But I like your type. Come here and give me a kiss."

Li Muwan actually planted a kiss on Jiang Fan’s cheek.

Leaving behind a lipstick mark.

Her action made Jiang Fan shudder. ’She’s completely wasted! When she sobers up tomorrow, isn’t she going to kill me?’

He didn’t even dare to imagine what would happen when she woke up tomorrow and remembered all this...

A shiver ran down his spine. Jiang Fan quickened his pace and placed Li Muwan in the car.

After fastening her seatbelt, he asked again, "President Li, where on earth do you live?"

"At Pure Villa, Building 7, Apartment 802."

Li Muwan murmured, her head lolling back against the seat.

Jiang Fan breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he knew where she lived, he was good. In her current state, taking her to a hotel was out of the question.

If she found out he’d taken her to a hotel while she was drunk, he didn’t even need to think about it—the first thing she’d do after sobering up would be to tear him to pieces.

He drove all the way to Pure Villa and opened the door to Li Muwan’s apartment.

The apartment was cozily decorated, and some of the trinkets were even all pink.

"I never expected President Li to have such a girly heart."

Jiang Fan teased.

Supporting Li Muwan’s limp body, he pushed open her bedroom door.

The decor inside was even more intensely pink, and there were all sorts of Kuromi dolls.

The entire bed was covered in them.

He laid her on the bed and took off her high heels.

He originally wanted to change her clothes, since her formal dress must have been uncomfortable to sleep in.

But on second thought, he decided his own life was more important.

"Alright, President Li, I’ve brought you home. I’ll be leaving now."

Jiang Fan stretched and turned to leave, but unexpectedly, Li Muwan grabbed his right hand.

"Can you please not go? I’m scared!"

"Huh? If I don’t leave this late at night, where am I supposed to sleep?"

"Don’t tell me you actually expect me to squeeze in with you?"

Jiang Fan tried to pry her hand open but was afraid of using too much force and hurting her.

"Please? I’m begging you!"

"Just stay here and keep me company. I’m scared."

At this moment, Li Muwan had opened her eyes and was looking at Jiang Fan pitifully.

"Big brother~~"

That "big brother" was so sweet it sent a shiver down to his bones.

"How about this? I’ll stay with you for a little while, and I’ll leave after you fall asleep, okay?"

"I knew you were the best, big brother."

Li Muwan pouted her lips. "Kisses, big brother~~"
