337: Nobody Wants Me

Nobody Wants Me

Lu Ning slumped over the counter, glass of wine in hand. With her other hand, she beckoned at Huo Jinyan and the others. "It's fine, it's… Go, just go. Don't worry about me."2

Huo Jinyan peered behind him. In this rowdy place, there was bound to be countless wolves hidden among the patrons. Once he left, they would pounce on her and eat her whole.

Huo Jinyan furrowed his brows and shut his eyes, displeasure written on his face. Then, he flagged his hand for Chu Ting to put his phone away, seemingly having resigned himself to something.

He went to Lu Ning's side. "I'll send you home."

Lu Ning abruptly shoved him, whimpering between sobs, "I don't have a home anymore… Nobody wants me…"

Huo Jinyan did not move at all despite getting pushed.

Chu Ting handed the information he had just found to Huo Jinyan.

Huo Jinyan glanced at Lu Ning. She hung her head and her body was swaying lightly. As if sensing that someone was looking at her, she slowly raised her head to look.

Tears kept falling down her cheeks as she looked at him pitifully.

"Don't send me back, please…"

Sobbing and wailing, she clutched Huo Jinyan's clothes with her fingers. She was begging him, so as to preserve her last shred of dignity and self-esteem.

Huo Jinyan's shrouded eyes fell upon her face; he handed his phone to Chu Ting, then used his hand to wipe her tears away gently. Thereafter, he bent down, lifted her over his shoulder, and strode out.

The bartender was about to holler at them, but Chu Ting handed him a black card.

"…"

…

While Lu Ning was being carried on Huo Jinyan's shoulder, her stomach churned uncomfortably.

"Don't…"

She had no strength left and could not even speak properly.

She could only repeat one word over and over.

"Don't…"

She wanted to say, Don't move.

Huo Jinyan mistook that as her still telling him not to send her home.

He walked to the car and said, "I'm not sending you home."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard something from behind.

"Urgh—"

When Chu Ting stepped out and saw this scene unfold before him, his mind instantly went blank as he rushed over.

"President Huo! It's fine! Don't move!"

Chu Ting quickly helped Huo Jinyan take off his suit jacket.

Huo Jinyan stood there motionless like a statue, and moved only upon Chu Ting's instruction.

"President Huo, raise your arm."

"President Huo, please support Miss Lù with your other hand."

"President Huo, raise your other arm."

The sleeves were taken off, though Lu Ning was still pressing on the back. Chu Ting yanked it off and used an unsoiled part of the suit to wipe Lu Ning's mouth.

Chu Ting threw the dirty suit aside and hurriedly opened the car door. "President Huo, please carry Miss Lù to the car."

Only then, did Huo Jinyan take action. He took two steps forward and tossed Lu Ning into the backseat.

Lu Ning seemed to still have some rationality left in her. She looked at Huo Jinyan and murmured, "I-I'm, I'm sorry…"

Huo Jinyan slammed the door shut.

Chu Ting found a place for Huo Jinyan to change his clothes. After changing, Huo Jinyan was finally revitalized.

However, when he opened the car door and saw Lu Ning, he still felt a sense of discomfort on his back.

Chu Ting looked at him. "President Huo, I had Miss Lù rinse her mouth and opened the windows to ventilate the car. It won't smell."

Huo Jinyan clenched his fists, then went into the car.

Lu Ning was curled up, unmoving.

When the car started and jolted, she suddenly sprang up, startling Chu Ting. Huo Jinyan turned to look at her.

Her eyes spun around and then looked at Huo Jinyan. Then, she leaned towards him, and eventually laid her head on his lap.

"…"
