Do You Want to Marry Me? Chapter 27

Chapter 27
Jin Nian couldn’t remember anything. Drinking really did make her memory hazy, and she had no memory of what had happened while she was drunk. Lu An was surprisingly patient as he helped her recall. “There was a fool who got herself drunk, and then she pulled me along, cried, and laughed while talking nonsense.” He was telling the truth. When he went to the private room to look for someone, Jin Nian was the only one left lying on the sofa, feeling groggy.
Drunk people were unusually heavy and uncooperative. It took him a lot of effort to pick her up. She said a lot of things and finally vomited all over him. Women were troublesome, torturing others and torturing themselves. The pink dress had been stained with a lot of filth. Lu An had to bear with the disgust and carry her upstairs to deal with it. Wanhe Huayuan was such a luxurious hotel, and Young Master Lu’s suite was the best.
The Lu family had quite a number of properties in the city, but Lu An had been living in a hotel ever since he returned to the country.
Tan Siyun had been with Jin Nian the whole time, so her mother had changed Jin Nian’s dirtied dress for her. It was easy to break off the engagement, but Jin Nian didn’t care if she got drunk or not. Tan Siyun still had to rush home to shut her relatives up and discuss how to deal with the situation. Originally, she had planned to wake Jin Nian up and bring her away with her, but Lu An stopped her. He said that Jin Nian must have been very tired during this period of time, so she should let her have a good sleep. Tan Siyun was angry, and her heart ached. She gritted her teeth and nagged, “Do you still think you’re a child? Why can’t you solve your problems properly? Why did you have to drink so much?” Those gossipy people will definitely talk about you behind your back in the future.”
How could Jin Nian have heard it? Only Lu An was left standing at the side and listening quietly. “You know how stubborn Jin Nian is,” Lu An advised. “She must have suffered a lot. I just didn’t tell you.” Tan Siyun’s tears had fallen as she pointed at the air and cursed Jiang Qingchi, “Lu An, Jin Nian is such a good child. How dare Jiang Qingchi!” Lu An lowered his eyes. “She’s nice. It’s that man who blinded his dog eyes.” With Lu An looking after Jin Nian, Tan Siyun had naturally been at ease.
After Lu An had recalled these memories, Jin Nian also remembered a lot. She became dispirited and licked her dry lips. She said in a low and muffled voice, “Lu An, you also think I’m a joke, right?” Lu An stood up, leaving Jin Nian with a tall back view. His deep voice crashed down on her, “Jin Nian, I change planes twice to return to Binhai City, not to see your joke.” He walked out of the room and closed the door. Jin Nian covered her head with the blanket and was in a daze inside.
It would have been better if he hadn’t mentioned Jin Nian, but it was even more uncomfortable now that he had mentioned her. They hadn’t seen each other for six years, yet he had witnessed such a huge farce. Why did it have to be Lu An?
The soundproof carpet absorbed the sound of Lu An’s footsteps as he returned. He reached out and patted the bulging blanket. Jin Nian crawled out of the blanket. Her eyes were wet, like a puppy that had just woken up. Lu An looked at her and paused for a moment. Jin Nian was not in a good mood. “What do you do?” “What can I do?” Lu An opened the bottle of mineral water and handed it over to Jin Nian.
The water passed to her in time, and Jin Nian gulped down more than half of it. Lu An took out his phone and looked at the time. She was still dressed in a noble outfit, with short, neat hair. From beginning to end, she looked unattainable. Jin Nian didn’t forget what she had done. “How much was the clothes? I’ll call and pay for it.” Lu An sneered, “Even if I sold you, it wouldn’t be enough to pay for it.”
“So, how much is it?” Lu An gestured a number with his well-defined fingers. Jin Nian clicked her tongue. “You’re so extravagant.” “There’s one more zero, “Lu An said. “F*ck! Why don’t you rob a bank!”Jin Nian said. “So, I didn’t say I want you to pay for it?” Lu An stopped joking. “Jin Nian, you owe me more than just a piece of clothing.”
He had a piercing gaze, which had made Jin Nian feel guilty. She changed the topic nonchalantly. “How long have I been asleep?” “You have been asleep for more than three hours. It’s already past six,” he had replied. “Okay,” Jin Nian had said, and Lu An hadn’t wasted any time with her. He had adjusted his tie and had ordered food for Jin Nian.
He said, “Rest for a while longer. Someone will come to deliver food in a while, and you should eat something to fill your stomach. I’ll come back to check on you later.” Jin Nian had been curious, “Where are you going?” “I’m going to the banquet.” “Whose banquet?”
“Xie He.” Jin Nian had been surprised, “Your mother… got married again?” “I’m used to it. This would be my fourth time attending her wedding, including when she was pregnant with me,” Lu An had said with a sigh.
As an outsider, Jin Nian had no right to say anything about Lu An’s mother, Xie He. As expected, human nature was gossiping. When she heard that Xie He had married for the fourth time, Jin Nian immediately threw her own matter to the back of her mind. Over the years, from what Jin Nian had known, Xie He had been married twice.
