Heartthrob, Your Image is Crumbling!

Chapter 465: A Drunk Jiang Xinyi

Zhou Yuwen had already taken off his pants when Jiang Xinyi's knocking echoed from outside. Judging by the sound of her voice, she seemed a bit drunk.This put Zhou Yuwen in a very awkward position. Of all the times to show up, she just had to come right at this moment.

Zhou Yuwen and the two girls had only returned not long ago. Since they were already like an old married couple, they weren't coy about the upcoming games. The moment Zheng Yanyan stepped into the house, she tossed her denim shorts aside. Wearing only her red CK panties, she flaunted her long legs, wandering around before crawling right into bed.

Lu Lin wasn't being reserved, either. She was just feeling lazy, not wanting to move an inch, and simply collapsed sideways onto the bed.

Zhou Yuwen looked at her in exasperation and muttered, "We just finished eating. You should at least move around a bit."

But Lu Lin simply replied that she was too lazy to move.

So, Zhou Yuwen knelt directly on either side of her waist, pressing down on her as he said, "If you won't move, I'll help you move."

With that, he leaned in for a kiss. As he kissed her, he helped push Lu Lin's jeans halfway down. It was a half-hidden sight; her calves were still wrapped in the black denim, while her thighs were exposed in an expanse of snowy white.

The night was long, and Zhou Yuwen was in no mood for too much prep work. When the time was right, he hoisted Lu Lin's long legs onto his shoulders, poised for action.

After all, Zheng Yanyan was still waiting right beside them.

But who would have thought that right at this moment, a sudden knock would come from the door outside?

The knocking startled everyone in the room. 'Who is it?' Zhou Yuwen thought. 'Who knocks on a door this late at night?'

"Could it be Su Qing?" Zheng Yanyan asked, kneeling on the bed.

Zhou Yuwen replied that it was impossible. She couldn't even be bothered to pay attention to him right now, so how could it possibly be her?

"Are you going to come in or not?" Lu Lin asked lazily from where she lay on the bed.

Seeing her like that, Zhou Yuwen was just about to continue.

But then they heard Jiang Xinyi's voice from outside: "Zhou Yuwen! Open the door. I have something to say to you."

Jiang Xinyi's voice was slurred with drink, but everyone instantly recognized who it was. Zheng Yanyan couldn't help but frown, muttering, "What is she doing here? Didn't they break up?"

"Don't look at me," Zhou Yuwen said. "I have no idea either."

Lu Lin sighed. "If you aren't going to come in, could you put me down?"

Zhou Yuwen's hands were still grasping Lu Lin's calves. Hearing her words, he honestly intended to lower her legs, but Zheng Yanyan chimed in, "Why put her down? You two continue. I'll go out and see what's going on with her."

Seeing her about to leave the room, Zhou Yuwen quickly pulled her back. "Stop making a mess of things."

With that, he began pulling up his pants, adding, "I'd better go out and take a look. You two wait for me in the room. If it's nothing major, don't come out—especially you, Zheng Yanyan."

Zheng Yanyan instantly puffed her cheeks in anger upon hearing this. What kind of remark was that?!

What did he mean, "especially me"!?

Zhou Yuwen left the room. The main reason was that, judging by Jiang Xinyi's words, he could tell she had drank quite a lot of alcohol and was drunkenly shouting for him to open the door.

She even yelled that she knew he was home, begging him not to ignore her.

Worried that something might have actually happened to the woman, Zhou Yuwen decided to open the door first to see what she meant.

As for Zheng Yanyan back in the room, she was fuming—especially over that "especially you" comment!

Wasn't that taking it too far?

Feeling wronged, Zheng Yanyan immediately wanted to vent to Lu Lin.

Instead, Lu Lin merely pulled up her jeans, closed her eyes, and tilted her head to go to sleep.

"..." Zheng Yanyan was left utterly speechless.

"Open the door. Hurry up and open the door." Jiang Xinyi rhythmically pounded on Zhou Yuwen's front door, even using a liquor bottle to strike it, creating a loud clatter.

Zhou Yuwen opened the door and found that, sure enough, Jiang Xinyi had been drinking. She was dressed very plainly today, wearing a white shirt paired with sky blue denim wide-leg pants. Her body was swaying unsteadily, and two adorable patches of wine red flushed her fair cheeks. Dangling half a bottle of foreign liquor in her hand, she stood slouched outside the door. Seeing Zhou Yuwen open up, she smiled at him.

"What are you doing in the middle of the night?" Zhou Yuwen asked with a look of distaste.

Hearing his voice, Jiang Xinyi smiled even more drunkenly. It was a silly grin. She pointed at him with a little chuckle, but as she tried to point, she lost her footing. Leaning sideways, she collapsed right into Zhou Yuwen's arms.

Zhou Yuwen naturally caught her. Smelling the heavy reek of alcohol, he couldn't help but ask just how much she had drank.

"Seriously, what's going on lately? Why are all you girls suddenly so obsessed with drinking?" Zhou Yuwen muttered helplessly.

He took the half-empty bottle of foreign liquor from her hand and glanced at it. Good lord, it was 56-degree vodka. Impressive. Zhou Yuwen had never tried this particular brand of vodka before, but just one sniff told him it packed a serious punch.

Sigh, she was already slumped dead weight against him.

Left with no other choice, Zhou Yuwen could only support her over to the sofa first.

Pouring her a glass of plain water, Zhou Yuwen stared helplessly at Jiang Xinyi, who was sprawled out on the sofa.

At this moment, Zheng Yanyan peeked her head out from the bedroom. Seeing that Jiang Xinyi seemed to be drunk, she wanted to come out and take a look.

Instead, Zhou Yuwen shot her a glare, signaling with his eyes for her to get back inside.

Zheng Yanyan was still unconvinced.

She was still wearing her top, but her lower half consisted solely of her long legs in CK panties, with a pair of white cotton socks on her small feet. Dressing up like this was actually more alluring than being barefoot. Without putting on shoes, she stepped onto the hardwood floor in her cotton socks, trying to come out and have a look.

But she was ordered back by Zhou Yuwen.

Although she was unhappy and puffed out her cheeks, Zheng Yanyan honestly retreated back into the room.

Just then, Zhou Yuwen's phone rang.

Seeing it was Tang Xinrou calling, he connected the call.

"Hello~ Brother-in-law? Did my sister make it to your place?" Tang Xinrou's guilty voice sounded from the other end of the line.

Zhou Yuwen immediately understood what was going on. "You're the one who dropped her off?" he quickly asked.

Tang Xinrou gave an awkward laugh. "It's not like I wanted to, Brother-in-law! My sister insisted on seeing you."

Both Jiang Xinyi and Tang Xinrou were a few years older than Zhou Yuwen, but he was furious right now. "She drank so much alcohol, and instead of letting her get a good rest, you sent her to my place?" he snapped.

Zhou Yuwen's voice carried a suppressed fury that was genuinely a bit intimidating. Tang Xinrou suddenly didn't know what to say and could only offer apologetic laughs over the line.

Zhou Yuwen told Tang Xinrou to get upstairs immediately and drag her away.

But Tang Xinrou revealed that she had already left.

"Brother-in-law, why don't you drive her home? I'd been drinking too, so we took a cab here, and the driver is already on the elevated road. Could you just drive my sister home? Hello? Brother-in-law, the signal is a bit bad, I'm going to hang up now."

"Hello?"

Zhou Yuwen called out again, but the other side had already hung up.

This left Zhou Yuwen entirely speechless.

He glanced back at Jiang Xinyi collapsed on the sofa. She looked completely comfortable now, lying there with her head tilted to the side and her cheeks flushed pink. Her breathing was steady; it seemed she had fallen asleep.

Perhaps finding her shirt too uncomfortable, Jiang Xinyi reached out to undo its buttons, but Zhou Yuwen quickly stopped her.

"Hey, there are people here. Don't do anything rash."

Zhou Yuwen reached out and pinched her collar shut.

Taking advantage of his proximity, Jiang Xinyi grabbed Zhou Yuwen's arm, rested her head against it, and murmured, "Zhou Yuwen..." "Yeah, I'm here."

Jiang Xinyi mumbled something else in a daze.

"What?" Zhou Yuwen couldn't catch what she said, so he lowered his head to listen.

It took a great deal of effort before he finally understood her plea: "Don't leave me."

These words deeply touched Zhou Yuwen. He gazed at Jiang Xinyi, who had her eyes closed and looked completely out of it from the alcohol.

No matter what, this girl was a wealthy daughter from an affluent family. Before meeting him, she had lived freely and effortlessly. Why was she tormenting herself like this now?

She continued to clutch tightly to Zhou Yuwen's arm. He initially wanted to pull away, but found he couldn't break her grip. Giving up, he simply sat down next to her.

This way, Jiang Xinyi could rest her head more comfortably against his arm.

Zhou Yuwen unscrewed the cap of the water bottle. "Want some water?"

There was no response from Jiang Xinyi. It seemed she really was blackout drunk.

He brought the water to her lips, and she instinctively managed to drink a little.

Zhou Yuwen then laid her back down on the sofa. He watched her for a moment. Seeing that she was completely unconscious from the alcohol, he hesitated before scooping her up into a princess carry.

He carried Jiang Xinyi straight into the bedroom just like that.

Waiting there, Zheng Yanyan thought Zhou Yuwen had finished dealing with things and come back.

But when she saw him returning with Jiang Xinyi in his arms, her face immediately fell. "Why did you bring her in here?" she asked, utterly exasperated.

Hearing this, Lu Lin, who had been lying there playing on her phone, also lifted her head in curiosity. To be honest, even she was a bit stunned by the sight.

"Cut the nonsense. Make some room and give me a hand," Zhou Yuwen said.

Zhou Yuwen placed Jiang Xinyi right between Zheng Yanyan and Lu Lin. The two of them made room, though Zheng Yanyan looked with disdain at the slumbering Jiang Xinyi. "Just how much did she drink? She's going to dirty our bedding."

"Help her clean up a bit," Zhou Yuwen said. "Change her into some clean clothes."

With that, he grabbed a fresh set of pajamas from the wardrobe and tossed them onto the bed.

Lu Lin gave him an odd look. "Couldn't you just do it yourself?"

Zhou Yuwen replied that he was too lazy to bother changing her.

"Hurry up and get her cleaned up."

Since Zhou Yuwen had given the order, Lu Lin naturally obliged. She prepared to head to the restroom to get some hot water to wipe her down first.

However, Zheng Yanyan was unwilling. She couldn't help but ask, "Wait, Hubby. She's not staying here tonight, is she? If she stays here, where are we supposed to sleep?"

"Pack up your things. We'll head over to the villa to sleep. The villa has everything we need anyway," Zhou Yuwen said after a moment's thought.

"Why should we give up our spot for her!?"

Zheng Yanyan's brows immediately shot up upon hearing this. Feeling it was completely unreasonable, she argued, "Can't you just take her home?"

Zhou Yuwen glanced at the passed-out Jiang Xinyi. Sending her home would mean having to explain everything to Liu Jing all over again. Zheng Yanyan and the others had already told him about the situation between Su Qing and Liu Jing.

Ever since that incident, Zhou Yuwen hadn't contacted Liu Jing.

Su Qing hadn't lost out, and that was just Liu Jing's personality anyway. Despite how well she treated him, her true nature could easily be seen from her attitude toward You Changjin.

Zhou Yuwen had no desire to confront Liu Jing, nor did he want to maintain a friendly relationship with her anymore. The thought of dragging a dead-drunk Jiang Xinyi home only to run into Liu Jing was exhausting.

He decided it would be better to just let her sleep it off and go back on her own once she woke up.

By now, Lu Lin had already started taking care of Jiang Xinyi.

A girl raised in a wealthy, aristocratic family truly was different. At the very least, her temperament and the delicate softness of her skin set her apart.

Still reluctant, Zheng Yanyan complained, "Do we really have to leave her here? Can't we put her somewhere else?"

"Sure," Zhou Yuwen replied. "Then I'll just go over with her and not come back?"

"Cut the nonsense and hurry up and get her cleaned up," he added.

"Tch!" Zheng Yanyan glared at the soundly asleep Jiang Xinyi, fuming.

At this point, Lu Lin was already starting to change Jiang Xinyi's clothes.

Honestly, it wouldn't have mattered if Zhou Yuwen stayed to watch.

Yet, playing the perfect gentleman for once, he announced, "I'll wait for you outside."

After saying that, he stepped out.

Jiang Xinyi was just asleep, so presumably nothing major would happen.

Lu Lin simply changed her clothes before telling Zheng Yanyan to head out with her.

Zheng Yanyan stared at the sleeping girl, simmering with anger. "She sure is lucky. They already broke up, but Hubby is still protecting her like this."

"It can't be helped. Who told her to be born into such a good family?" Lu Lin replied.

"That's complete nonsense. Su Qing was right—what does her family have besides money? Hmph," Zheng Yanyan scoffed with disdain, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Alright, that's enough out of you. Let's go," Lu Lin said.

Zheng Yanyan was about to follow Lu Lin out, but she ultimately couldn't hold back. "No, I can't just let her off the hook like this."

Saying that, she pulled out a tube of lipstick.

"What are you doing?" Lu Lin immediately sensed something was wrong.

But Zheng Yanyan had already crouched down and begun scribbling all over Jiang Xinyi's face.

Seeing this, Lu Lin rolled her eyes. "You're crazy."

Meanwhile, Zhou Yuwen had waited outside for a long time. Seeing they hadn't emerged, he walked back in. "Are you two not done yet?"

"Done, done! We're coming out right now!" Zheng Yanyan quickly blocked Jiang Xinyi behind her.

"?" Zhou Yuwen was no fool. Seeing her posture, he immediately demanded, "What did you do?"

With that, he pulled Zheng Yanyan aside.

Only to see Jiang Xinyi's face scribbled on like a painted alley cat.

Zhou Yuwen was utterly speechless. He didn't even know what kind of look to give Zheng Yanyan anymore.

Knowing she'd been caught red-handed, Zheng Yanyan gave a foolish grin. "I-I'll wipe it off."

"Forget it. Let's not waste any more time. Let's just go," Zhou Yuwen said.
