Drunken Truths 7

Li Ruoxuan took a deep breath and tried his best to appear calm. He wanted to carry her and move her to the side.1

However, when his hand landed on her tiny waist again, Li Ruoxuan felt his face become a little hot, making him feel a little overwhelmed.

He carried the little drunkard in a flurry and placed her on a chair at the side of the room.

Li Ruoxuan immediately took a deep breath. He turned around, walked to the window side, and breathed in big gulps of air like a drowning fish.

After taking many deep breaths, his breathing gradually calmed down.

Savoring the warm breeze blowing from outside, his restlessness gradually eased up as well.

Li Ruoxuan cursed in his heart. 'Is there something wrong with me?'

Immediately after that, he turned his head back quietly and saw the girl leaning on the chair. Her face was flushed and she was sleeping very soundly.

It seemed that it was no longer possible for him to carry on with his meal. He had to take her home first.

Wait… He had to carry her to the carriage…

The usually calm Li Ruoxuan, who seemed to be very experienced with this kind of thing, suddenly froze. When he thought about the reaction his body gave when he held her waist just now, he felt extremely helpless. He made up his mind resolutely, walked over, picked her up and threw her over his shoulder, placed his arm firmly around her legs, then walked outside nimbly. When he was about to reach the door, he thought of something and turned around. He searched the ground for a while, found the human skin mask, silently picked it up, and stuffed it into his arms.

Zhu Shen and another guard were standing at the door. When they suddenly heard the door open, they turned their heads and were met with Li Ruoxuan's figure.

They were slightly stunned.

They saw His Excellency carrying a little girl on his shoulder.

Zhu Shen blinked, a little confused.

Did she drink too much?

"Ask them to put it on my tab, and we'll head back first, " Li Ruoxuan said.

Zhu Shen gave an affirmative answer and immediately followed Li Ruoxuan down the stairs with the guard.

The scene of the man with a black eye patch carrying a little girl with a bun on his shoulder was strange no matter how one saw it.

Many guests in the main hall were dumbfounded for a second.

Was that not the State Preceptor?

Why did he sit for just a short while, then come down again?

Also, who was the girl with a bun on his shoulder? Was that the bossy little maid just now?

Sh*t.

What happened?

The little maid was carried down the stairs by the State Preceptor himself?

Were they not…being a little too intimate? Or was it that the State Preceptor had become more approachable nowadays?

All the guests forgot to get up to show respect. Everyone was muddle-headed and transfixed as they watched the group leave.

When the visitors disappeared from the doorway,

The guests came back to their senses and scratched their heads in confusion.

——

The news that the carriage with the "Li'' flag lingered at Songhe Inn for a while. It was also said that dishes were ordered but it seemed that not a single bite was eaten, and only a few pots of wine were drunk. This news reached the branch office of the Zhaixing Administration in the Capital in about fifteen minutes. At the same time, there was also the news that the State Preceptor left while carrying a little girl with a bun.

Jiang Yeqian had just come to the branch office of the Zhaixing Administration in the capital today. After Bai Mei reported this matter to him, Jiang Yeqian's face darkened on the spot.

That little girl in a bun had to be her.

And she…drank?

She even drank too much?

Which ended with her being carried back by Li Ruoxuan?

He wondered whether that woman would reveal her secrets after drinking too much. Jiang Yeqian was suddenly very agitated, so he decided to pay the State Preceptor's residence a visit.

Just as he put on his mask and walked toward the door, he was stopped by Bai Mei.

"What are you trying to do?"

Jiang Yeqian thought that Bai Mei was going to stop him.
