Intentionally entangled without worry

  In the second villa within the large estate, on the first floor in the grand hall, the lights shone brightly like daylight. A wave of unbearable and painful vomiting sounds echoed through the entire quiet space.

  He Yihang, Ji Shufen and He Yu surrounded the white figure on the sofa.

  "Tongtong, are you feeling better? Auntie is heartbroken seeing you like this." Ji Shufen spoke first, her anxious tone filled with concern and worry.

  "You rarely drink, how did you get so drunk tonight? If it gets any worse, we should call Dr. Xu." He Yihang was worried and perplexed.

  He Yuze remained silent, gently stroking Li Xiaotong's back.

  Just then, a tall and thin figure walked in from outside, about twenty years old, wearing a white shirt and black trousers. He looked similar to He Yu, but was actually his younger brother, He Yong. Unlike He Yu's calm and introverted nature, he gave off an air of youthful recklessness. After taking in the situation in the room, he teased, "Tonight, big brother will be giving a speech on stage, and it's clear that he's the one in charge. All these years, Tongtong has been working hard for nothing, but tonight she can finally relax and have a few drinks to celebrate."

  "You're talking nonsense!" Ji Shufen immediately scolded him.

  He Yue made a face at his mother and turned his gaze to Li Xiaotong, "Sister Tongtong, do you think I'm right?"

  After a bout of vomiting, Li Xiaotong's face looked a bit pale. Seeing He Yanzhen's sincere eyes, a scene flashed through her mind - this afternoon, she had secretly seen the scene at the door of the bathroom outside the gate of this house.

  "All right, stop meddling and go upstairs quickly, this has nothing to do with you." Ji Shufen said.

  "What's wrong with me, I'm also worried about Tongtong!" He Yifeng immediately complained, looking at He Yun, "Brother, you come and judge, am I meddling, am I meddling?"

  He Wei couldn't help but laugh at his brother's deliberately pitiful appearance, and changed the subject, "Have all our colleagues left?"

  "Of course, I've eaten and also curried favor, but must I really stay behind to serve Grandfather and Third Uncle at night?" He Yanshi's expression changed in an instant, and he curled up his mouth again.

  She was again blamed and criticized by her mother, "Go, what nonsense are you talking about! Mind your own business, if you have time, reflect on yourself. I heard from Third Uncle that you went to investigate the Organization Department's He Commissioner two days ago, and he complained to your Third Uncle."

  He Yi was taken aback, then shouted, "I haven't even reported him yet, this turtle grandson actually preemptively accused me, I'll get the evidence ready and take it to Third Uncle tomorrow."

  "You..." Ji Shufen's eyes widened even more.

  "Mom, don't mention me again. Didn't Grandpa teach us that as parents and officials, we should do more for the people and be blameless? I knew that old man in the Organization Department was suspicious, but if I didn't report him, how could I face the taxpayers of this city?" He Yong's expression turned serious and solemn, his momentum rising, like a passionate young man.

  Ji Xufen was almost furious, "You little yellow-haired kid, how much do you know about officialdom! Just be obedient and listen to San Shu's instructions. It's getting late, hurry up and go rest!"

  He Yi stopped arguing, bid goodnight to his father who had been silent but serious all along, bid goodnight to He Yu and Li Xiao Tong, and finally teased his mother before heading upstairs.

  Li Xiaotong suddenly also proposed to He Yu, "Yu, I don't want to go back tonight."

  He Wei was taken aback.

  Ji Shufen quickly took over the conversation, "It's okay if you don't go back, just stay here for a night. By the way, is there anything wrong with your body?"

  "After vomiting, I basically have no major problems, just feel a bit tired and don't want to move."

  "Alright, you get some rest early, Ah Yu. Take Tongtong to your room, she's drunk like this, it's best if someone takes care of her. Tongtong will sleep in your room tonight."

  "Thank you, Aunt. Uncle, you should rest early too, I'm sorry to trouble you, Li Xiaotong felt apologetic."

  "He Yihang chuckled and said, 'It's nothing, what trouble could there be?'"

  "We're all family here, no need for formalities!" Ji Shufen smiled and chimed in, as warm and loving as ever.

  Li Xiaotong smiled brightly and with He Wei's help stood up from her weak body.

  He Wei also bid his parents goodnight, and accompanied Li Xiao Tong to the upstairs. He walked silently, subconsciously glancing at the expensive watch on his wrist.

  The action was very subtle, but it fell into Li Xiaotang's eyes. Her slightly lowered face changed color, and then she seemed to be unaware of anything, saying nothing until she entered He Yu's room. When she sat down on the soft and clean big bed, she suddenly rushed into He Yu's arms, her two hands firmly wrapped around his strong waist.

  He Wei's back stiffened slightly as she straightened her body. "Come on, I'll help you lie down."

  Li Xiaotong suddenly stopped him, her beautiful eyes gazing at him with affectionate entanglement, hesitantly and boldly making a request, "Yu, tonight... how about... I want..."

  He Xuan's eyes flashed with a sly smile, "Aren't you feeling unwell? What if you overexert yourself?"

  Is he tired? Does he really think so? Doesn't he want to tire her out with the pleasure of men and women? A strange light flashed in Li Xiaotong's eyes.

  He Yu helped her lie down, "I'll go get a hot towel for you to wipe your face."

  After speaking, he stood up and walked towards the bathroom. When he came back, he had a white hot towel in his hand, carefully and gently wiping Li Xiaotong's forehead, face, and then her arms.

  Li Xiaotong quietly enjoyed his care, her beautiful eyes gazing up at him unwaveringly, that handsome face which made her deeply infatuated and heart skip a beat, asked slowly, "Yu, don't you ask me why I got drunk tonight?"

  He Wei's busy hands paused.

  "What He Yong said is right, I was indeed excited and thrilled to drink, we've worked so hard for so long, our efforts have finally paid off, you've finally taken another step forward, a crucial one!" Li Xiaotong muttered to herself.

  He Wei still didn't make a sound, only pursed his lips and smiled, continuing to wipe her last two fingers, after finishing, he put the towel aside.

  "Yu, you said last time that you would take me to a hotel for two days on the weekend. Have you fixed the time? When can we go?" Li Xiaotong sat up and turned over.

  "When were you thinking of?" He Wei finally spoke up.

  "How about this weekend?"

  "This weekend?" He Xianjian's eyebrows slightly furrowed, "On Sunday I have a golf appointment with a client."

  "What about Friday? Actually, we don't necessarily have to choose a weekend, weekdays are also possible."

  He Wei thought for a moment and made a decision, "That Friday and Saturday, I'll accompany you."

  "Good, thank you!" Li Xiaotong's heart was filled with wild joy and excitement, continuing to gaze at him deeply. After a moment, she resolutely said, "How about we get married?"

  He Wei was suddenly shaken violently, as if he had been struck by an explosive message. His eyes surged with dark waves and he subconsciously turned his face away.

  Yu

  "You've been guessed by Ah Ye, so eager to become Mrs. He?" When He Yu's gaze returned to her face, all expressions had already returned to calmness, and he smiled softly before pressing down on her shoulder again, letting her lie back in bed, "It's late, go to sleep."

  "How about you?"

  "I'm going to take a bath," said He Yu, and with that, she kissed her forehead, walked towards the closet, took out her pajamas, and re-entered the bathroom.

  As she watched the bathroom door slowly close, Li Xiaotong's smile also gradually faded away. Hearing the sound of water coming from the bathroom, she picked up his phone on the bedside table.

  However, she still didn't open her phone, but held it thoughtfully for a while before putting it back in its original place, lying on her back and staring blankly at the ceiling.

  ——

  On the other hand, Ling Yu Xuan had unknowingly waited in the pavilion for an hour.

  As night deepened, the temperature also dropped, and the floral dress she was wearing could no longer ward off the chill. She had to take out her tattered uniform jacket and put it on.

  Actually, no matter how cold her body was, even if it was freezing to the bone, she could endure it. What made her feel painful and uncomfortable was the chill in her heart.

  He didn't come!

  She was waiting for him with hope and expectation, had even thought about what to say and do next, but in the end, she didn't have such an opportunity.
