Chapter 144: Chapter 144: Baby (1)

"I’ll wait with you," Ji Dongquan was completely sober, having downed several bottles of beer, but for him, it was like drinking plain water, totally unaffected by the alcohol.

"No need, please take my sister and go first," Mi Jing waved her hand with a frown on her face.

Despite Mi Jing’s insistence, Ji Dongquan was uneasy about leaving Mi Jing alone. Not to mention she had been drinking; she was a girl and could encounter danger. He would feel guilty himself and not be able to explain it to Mi Wan and their parents.

Therefore, under Mi Jing’s persistent insistence, Ji Dongquan’s attitude was even more resolute than hers. No matter what Mi Jing said, he remained unmoved.

After a while, a knocking broke the silence of the room. Following the sound of the door opening, Chu Chen entered, not Shen Lingxing who was warm and gentle like jade. Instead, it was the fashionable and vibrant Chu Chen.

"Mr. Chu." Ji Dongquan was always steady and composed, and even though he didn’t expect to see Chu Chen, he didn’t show any surprise. He greeted Chu Chen calmly and evenly.

"Chairman Ji, what a surprise to see you here." Chu Chen, sporting a baby’s face and a bright smile, simply exchanged a few words, noticing Ji Dongquan beside a Sleeping Beauty.

"Chu Chen?" Mi Jing’s reaction was slightly delayed. Although she knew Shen Lingxing had arranged someone to pick her up, she never expected it would be Chu Chen!

No matter what, Chu Chen was a privileged young man, and it felt absurd that he’d come to drive her, making her feel flattered.

"It’s me, sis-in-law." Chu Chen, seeing Mi Jing’s face mixed with surprise in her daze, flashed a cute smile.

Mi Jing slowly propped herself up and smiled at Chu Chen. Then she turned to Ji Dongquan, "The person picking me up is here, Brother Ji, you can leave now. Also, remember to wake my sister up and have a good chat with her."

Mi Wan’s heart knot could only be untangled by Ji Dongquan.

Mi Wan had fallen asleep long ago, and it wasn’t until Ji Dongquan carried her and left that Mi Jing shakily stood up.

"Sis-in-law, can you walk by yourself?" Chu Chen walked by Mi Jing’s side, cautiously supporting her with his hands.

This was his fourth brother’s precious gem! It was nerve-wracking enough to be asked to pick her up, let alone being warned not to take advantage.

Damn!

Though he loved to play around, he had zero interest in his brothers’ women, honestly!

He really didn’t get it. Did women have such charm? Enough to turn all his brothers into wife-strains one after another, and now he was reduced to being a chauffeur!

"Yes, I can walk by myself." Mi Jing nodded, then took a shaky step toward the door.

"Sis-in-law, are you sure you don’t need me to support you?" Chu Chen closely followed Mi Jing, focusing entirely on her, his eyes never wandering.

Although his fourth brother warned him not to take advantage, if Mi Jing got herself hurt, the consequence would be even worse!

This was a totally thankless task, but he had to do it since he owed people favors!

On the dozen or so meters from the hotpot restaurant to the car, Chu Chen trailed behind Mi Jing like he was protecting a national treasure, nervous all the way, fearing she would fall, making it hard to answer to Shen Lingxing.

"Wow, it’s so cool tonight!" Standing outside the restaurant, Mi Jing, with a joyful face, spread her arms wide, indulging in the cool breeze blowing against her, exclaiming.

Mi Jing’s shout immediately attracted the passing crowd’s curious glances. Though she was unaware, Chu Chen beside her felt a bit uncomfortable, genuinely wishing he could pretend not to know this lunatic!

"Sis-in-law, let’s get in the car." About two meters away, a sleek Lamborghini was parked by the roadside, its driver already holding the door open, waiting for them.

But Mi Jing seemed not to notice, taking out her car keys from her bag and handing them to Chu Chen, "Chu Chen, can you please help me?"

What did that mean?

Did she want him to drive her Chery?

This... this...

He indeed had some disdain for her car!

"Sis-in-law, don’t worry, I’ll have the driver bring your car back." Chu Chen said as he took the keys from Mi Jing.

"Chu Chen, do you not like my car?" Mi Jing frowned, giving Chu Chen an unconcealed look of displeasure.

"No... no, I don’t," Chu Chen lied, looking slightly troubled.

"Then let’s go get my car." Mi Jing, a car lover, though her vehicle couldn’t compare to Chu Chen’s luxury cars, believed that one’s own belongings were the best. Besides, she didn’t like having strangers drive her car. After Shen Lingxing had someone return her car last time, she had it thoroughly disinfected inside and out.

Though she wasn’t completely obsessive about cleanliness, she had that kind of mentality towards certain things.

Seeing Mi Jing swaying as she walked towards the open-air parking lot, Chu Chen resigned and followed her. The driver waiting on the side, seeing that Chu Chen didn’t get in the car but instead turned to leave, timidly called out, "Mr. Chu..."

"Take the car back," Chu Chen answered in a deep voice, not turning his head as he followed Mi Jing.

Living a polished and luxurious life, Chu Chen never imagined he’d have a day driving a Chery!

Because of the car’s design, the narrow space inside and the lower height meant that the over six-foot-tall Chu Chen had to practically cram himself into the vehicle.

Sitting in the driver’s seat, Chu Chen adjusted his position several times but still felt uncomfortable. Firstly, he couldn’t stretch his back completely; if he did, his head would hit the roof, messing up his hair and making him even more uncomfortable. Secondly, he couldn’t fully extend his legs, his long legs crammed awkwardly. All these made him feel stifled, leading him to suspect Mi Jing did it on purpose to mess with him!

"Chu Chen, you’ve never driven this kind of car before, have you?" Mi Jing said, sitting in the passenger seat, having managed to buckle her seatbelt with clumsy movements. Now she was leaning back casually, speaking adorably in her drunken state.

"No, I haven’t," Chu Chen responded with a polite smile, feigning ease while feeling somewhat aggrieved inside, thinking, Sis-in-law, you finally know how hard it is for me, right?

"Then you should be grateful to me for giving you a different driving experience."

What?

Did he hear that right?

Hearing Mi Jing’s words, Chu Chen’s smile froze on his handsome face. Right then, he sincerely hoped he had misheard.

This was torment, okay?

Not only does she not realize how unfair it is of her, but she also thinks he’s enjoying it?

But...

He was a man, after all, and what was the point of arguing with a drunk woman?
