Chapter 476 - Got drunk (2/2)

“Yup, I just got married this year,” Xiao Luo interjected.

Chu Yue’s body was quaking as she fought back the tears. She crinkled her nose as the tears she struggled to hold back flowed from her eyes. She hadn’t expected that it would turn out like this. To think that he was now married, how could this pretentious d*ck get married, how could he get married?

At that moment, all the joy of finally meeting Xiao Luo again was gone. How she imagined it would turn out, and suddenly, all her expectations burst like bubbles… Her heart was hollow with nothing left inside. She was left with an emptiness that felt like she had just lost a very precious thing.

“Waiter, give me a drink! I need a drink… give me a drink now!” Chu Yue screamed at the young bartender in frustration.

“What kind of wine do you want, Miss?” the bartender asked.

Chu Yue slurred, “Give me the strongest one… I’m gonna get drunk. Hurry up!”

The trip to Xiahai City did not yield any silver linings but instead, only hurt her deeply. Chu Yue’s head was spinning in a daze.

The bartender didn’t dare to go against her wishes. Still, when he saw Xiao Luo and Xiang Gaoyang’s glaring eyes, he immediately took a bottle of red wine with low alcoholic content.

Chu Yue downed glass after glass of the wine in deep sorrow. Actually, she wasn’t a good drinker and even hated the bitter taste of alcohol, but right now, she just wanted to get drunk, with a hope that what she heard was only a dream.

“Miss, you can’t drink anymore.” Xiang Gaoyang felt compelled to speak out.

“Leave me alone! Let me drink, or I’ll tell Father to fire you!” Chu Yue screamed as she pushed Xiang Gaoyang away.

Xiang Gaoyang could only turn to Xiao Luo for help. “Mr. Xiao, please do me a favor,” he pleaded.

His tone was slightly more urgent. After all, it was because of Xiao Luo that Miss Chu had behaved this way, so whether he liked it or not, Xiao Luo had to share some responsibility.

Looking at Chu Yue, already in a state of drunken stupor, Xiao Luo took her glass away and said, “There’s no need to humiliate yourself.”

“That’s my prerogative! Let me alone!”

Chu Yue screamed at him with tears flowing down her face, and Xiao Luo could detect the strong smell of alcohol from her breath. Suddenly, Chu Yue grabbed the bottle of wine and started taking swigs from it.

Well, just let her get it out of her system, and time will heal, he thought. It was the immediate pain that really hurt, and she’d get over it.

Xiao Luo sighed in his heart and gave up trying to stop her anymore.

Even Guan Tong couldn’t stand it anymore. “Xiao Luo, you bast*rd, how could you hurt a girl who liked you so much? Lightning will strike you!” he scowled.

Xiang Gaoyang and Xiang Gaojian totally agreed with him and nodded unconsciously.

“So what do you mean? I should lie to her and give her hope?” Xiao Luo retorted. He was speechless.

Guan Tong frowned. “Of course not, but you can’t do this either. It’s so cruel,” he said.

Xiao Luo grinned. Even if it seemed cruel to her now, there’s no other way. What else could he do? Say that he liked her too? He had not even gotten out of the mess with Siying yet, and he wouldn’t allow himself another episode with the likes of Chu Yue.

Although the red wine’s alcohol content was low, for someone like Chu Yue, who couldn’t drink, it was still potent stuff.

After she finished the bottle of red wine, Chu Yue fell asleep drunk on the bar counter. Her cheeks were red under the light, like a ripe apple, and there were still traces of tears on her face, which was a pitiful sight.

“Where’s your car?” Xiao Luo asked Xiang Gaoyang.

“Carry her away.”

“Well….”

Xiang Gaoyang was a little reluctant as they were bodyguards, and he felt it was not proper to do that. It seemed a bit too intimate to him.

“Mr. Xiao, please help us carry her to the car,” Xiang Gaojian pleaded.

Xiao Luo understood their apprehensions and decided to assist them.
