Chapter 167 Xie Qingcen: Wife, you are reluctant

to leave Gu Qingran. She pursed her lips and tried to suppress the drunkenness in her eyes, but her eyes were still a little hazy, "Madam, do you need any help?"

No matter what, the etiquette in one's bones can never be changed.

Upon hearing this, Ye Shutong raised her head very slowly, and her beautiful eyes carefully and seriously identified the identity of the person in front of her.

After a long time, she shook her head, "No... I'm sorry, I'm a little drunk."

She held Gu Qingran's shoulders tightly with both hands, her charming fox eyes narrowed slightly due to drunkenness, and she smiled foolishly at Gu Qingran, "You are so beautiful, are you interested in being my boyfriend?"

Ye Shutong's eyes were clear and sincere, staring straight at Gu Qingran's fair face. If it weren't for the hint of drunkenness in her eyes, Gu Qingran would probably think she was a female hooligan.

In fact, she didn't mean it.

Being in the entertainment industry, she was certainly a capable drinker, but she usually needed to stay sober at drinking parties; a single mistake could land her in a dire straits.

Therefore, no one could get Ye Shutong drunk unless she consented, except for one person.

Ye Shutong's eyes misted slightly, but deep down, she was screaming wildly, "Why can a man be so fickle? Why can he just get away with it? Why is it so unfair?"

Perhaps it was because her recent days had been too difficult, or perhaps it was because Gu Qingran's aura was so alluring, but Ye Shutong curled his lips and, for some reason, raised his hand to gently cup Gu Qingran's cheek.

The corners of his eyes flushed and moistened, a hint of inexplicable charm.

Gu Qingran frowned, "Since you're drunk, you should go home."

He stepped back slightly, unnoticed, avoiding Ye Shutong's touch, his cold, indifferent eyes fixed on Yun Jing, who was watching the show from the front.

The meaning was self-evident.

Ye Shutong shook her head like a rattle. "Okay, come with me, I'll take you home!"

She spoke each word clearly, enunciating it distinctly. If it weren't for the chaotic footsteps below, one wouldn't have guessed she was a drunk.

Gu Qingran politely half-protected her waist to prevent her from falling, a hint of impatience already lingering in his cold, moon-like eyes.

He had just gotten off a plane today and had been busy for several days. In the end, he hadn't even gone home when Jiang Yubai called him here. If it weren't for the curiosity deep in his heart, he wouldn't have agreed.

Now, he was truly exhausted.

Gu Qingran's eyes grew cold. "Name, ID number! Let the police take you home."

After saying that, he glanced at Yun Jing without any emotion, his lips, sharp as a knife, gradually tightening into a straight line.

Yun Jing, who was lazily leaning on the stair railing, saw this, his eyebrows slightly raised, a hint of teasing in his eyes.

He straightened up slowly and walked over to Gu Qingran, but didn't immediately take Ye Shutong from Gu Qingran's arms.

He studied her for a moment, scratched his brow, and said, "Looks familiar."

Gu Qingran, now holding Ye Shutong's waist with one arm, glanced at Yun Jing indifferently, a hint of suppressed anger in his eyes.

"Serving the people is a police officer's fundamental duty."

Yun Jing suddenly chuckled. After years of friendship, he knew his friend's temper well.

He nodded. "Indeed, but Professor Gu, do you think I can help you get rid of her?"

Gu Qingran lowered his eyes, his cold and indifferent gazes silently fixed on the woman in his arms. Even though she was too drunk to tell the difference, she still clung to him tightly.

A rare hint of helplessness crossed his eyes.

"Call Jiang Yubai,"

Yun Jing smiled, looking up and gesturing behind him. "He's already here."

...

The Xie family mansion.

Ruan Liuzheng was standing behind Xie Qingcen, quietly listening to him on the phone.

The man's voice was clear and cold, and every word he said was clear and round, sounding like an indescribable charm.

So even though Ruan Liuzheng was not a voice control, she couldn't help but be attracted by the man's voice.

It felt as if everything was overshadowed in front of the man.

She poked her chin with one hand, and her cold almond eyes gradually became a little dazed.

Xie Qingcen put away his phone, and when he turned around, he saw the woman's slightly dazed look. He raised his eyebrows slightly, and a faint arc appeared at the corners of his thin lips.

He suddenly felt a chill on his back, pursed the corners of his lips, turned around again, raised his hand to close the window, and blocked out the cold air outside.

He walked up to Ruan Liuzheng, and a smile appeared in his dark phoenix eyes.

He lowered his head slightly, and his fair forehead unconsciously pressed against Ruan Liuzheng, "What are you thinking about?"

Ruan Liuzheng came back to her senses, and when she opened her eyelids, she saw the handsome face so close to her, and the hands hanging at her side slowly clenched. Her

eyes were vague for a moment.

She coughed twice, "I'm not thinking about anything. Why are you suddenly so close?"

Ruan Liuzheng leaned back as she spoke.

The scent of agarwood on the man was too aggressive.

It reminded her of the embarrassing scene when they first met. Ruan Liuzheng's face flashed with unnaturalness, and her eyelids drooped slightly.

Shy? This is not common.

Xie Qingcen raised his eyebrows slightly, and the smile at the corner of his lips slowly deepened. He stretched out his long arms and hugged Ruan Liuzheng's waist forcefully, not allowing her to retreat.

A blush crept across Ruan Liuzheng's fair ears. Her eyes darkened, and she feigned anger. "Xie Qingcen!"

Xie Qingcen snorted, and he and his companions sat down beside the bed. His handsome features tinged with indifference. "Yes, I'm here, honey."

He twitched his tongue, and his clear, magnetic voice suddenly filled Ruan Liuzheng's ears.

His tone was a mixture of laziness, seriousness, and a smile.

Ruan Liuzheng's ears flushed even more. She raised her eyes, her gaze brimming with anger. "Do you still want to sleep with Chengcheng tonight?"

Xie Qingcen's gaze paused.

He blinked innocently, his gaze meeting Ruan Liuzheng's rosy cheeks, and a bright smile spread across his lips.

He leaned in shamelessly, "Wife... can you bear to let her go?" "

Besides, the old lady has been lonely for a long time. She'd love a child to be around. How could you bear to disappoint her?"

Ruan Liuzheng frowned, the corners of her light crimson lips curling unconsciously.

Although Zeng Shuwan had been somewhat protective of Fu Yanci and Fu Zhiqing earlier, she hadn't truly spoken up for them in the face of major issues.

This showed that she was a reasonable person, not easily deceived.

Furthermore, Ruan Liuzheng truly appreciated her temperament, unexpectedly seeing a reflection of her mother.

However, if she were to face Zeng Shuwan's disappointed look...

Ruan Liuzheng frowned slightly, subconsciously biting her lip, a faint feeling of discomfort welling up in her heart.

She thought, she probably doesn't want to.
