Lin Jing hurriedly entered the private room.

Qin Chao spotted Lin Jing and waved at the newcomer. “Assistant Lin, you’re finally here! Hurry up and take your boss back!”

Lin Jing immediately supported Fu Huaixu. “Boss, let me take you back.”Full novel: Five Years Late, Zhao Zhao Returns to Huai — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠

Fu Huaixu shook off Lin Jing’s hand. “Get away… Don’t touch me… Only Zhaozhao can touch me… You’re not worthy!”

Lin Jing: “…”

“Zhaozhao…” Fu Huaixu’s voice softened, sounding as pitiful as an abandoned puppy. “I want to go find Shen Zhaoning…”

Suddenly, Fu Huaixu grabbed Lin Jing’s hand. “Zhaozhao… Don’t leave… okay…”

Lin Jing: “…”

Qin Chao: “…”

Xie Xiuyuan: “…”

Zhou Sinian: “…”

Folks, who can understand this? If the boss remembers this tomorrow, will he send me to F Province to dig coal?

Lin Jing pulled his hand away and steadied Fu Huaixu, crying internally. “Boss, it’s very late now. Miss Shen is already resting. I’ll take you to see her tomorrow, okay?”

“No! I want to see her now!” Fu Huaixu threw a childish tantrum. “She’ll be angry… I have to see her right away. I promised her we wouldn’t let arguments last overnight… I need to go comfort her…”

The three bystanders were even more dumbfounded, unable to resist covering their mouths and snickering. Who would have thought that the formidable Fu, who dominates the business world, would act like this when drunk?

What to do? What to do? They really wanted to record this, but they didn’t dare, afraid of getting beaten up—they couldn’t win!

Park Hyatt Hotel

It was already midnight. Shen Zhaoning was still revising a client’s design draft. She rubbed her sore eyes, stretched, and was about to get up to pour a glass of water.

Suddenly, a series of urgent doorbell rings shattered the night’s tranquility.

Shen Zhaoning frowned, putting down the water glass in her hand. Who could it be at this hour?

She walked to the door and peered through the peephole.

Outside stood two people, one of whom was actually Fu Huaixu, his head lowered, his shirt collar disheveled—clearly drunk.

She intended to ignore it, but the doorbell kept ringing stubbornly.

Shen Zhaoning took a deep breath and finally reached out to turn the lock.

As soon as the door opened, a strong smell of alcohol hit her.

Lin Jing stood at the doorway with an apologetic and somewhat awkward expression.

“I’m sorry, Miss Shen, for disturbing you so late. The boss… he’s drunk and kept insisting on seeing you. I really had no choice but to bring him here.”

Shen Zhaoning glanced at him but made no move to step aside. “Do you know what time it is? And couldn’t you just take him back directly?”

Lin Jing forced a pained smile. “I know this is very presumptuous. But the boss really drank all day today and wouldn’t listen to anyone. Only when I told him I’d bring him to see you did he finally stop drinking…”

Future boss’s wife, please forgive me for telling a little white lie~

Shen Zhaoning was taken aback, her gaze involuntarily falling on Fu Huaixu.

Fu Huaixu seemed to catch the familiar scent. He lifted his head groggily, and when he saw Shen Zhaoning, his eyes instantly lit up as if he had found a long-lost treasure. “Zhaozhao… I missed you so much…”

Staggering towards Shen Zhaoning, his voice carried a hint of grievance and coquettishness, “Zhaozhao… I finally found you…”

Shen Zhaoning instinctively took a step back, but he grabbed her hand. His hand was somewhat cold, yet he held hers tightly, unwilling to let go.

Lin Jing, standing nearby, flashed a professional standard smile: “Miss Shen, I’ll leave our CEO in your care. My elderly mother is waiting for me at home for a late-night snack.”

With that, he quickly turned and walked away, as if finally shaking off a ‘trouble.’

“Zhaozhao, I’m sorry…” Fu Huaixu lowered his head, burying his face in the crook of her neck, his voice choked with emotion, “Please forgive me, okay? I can’t lose you…”

Feeling the warm breath against her neck, Shen Zhaoning said softly, “Fu Huaixu, get up first. Go take a shower and sober up.”

With great effort, Shen Zhaoning helped him inside and closed the door.

“I won’t shower…” Fu Huaixu acted childishly, clinging to her waist like a stubborn child, “I don’t want to be apart from you anymore… Zhaozhao, don’t abandon me…”

Shen Zhaoning sighed helplessly, reaching out to gently stroke his hair, soothing him:

“Alright, I won’t leave. First, sit on the sofa, okay?”

She supported him as they walked to the sofa and sat down.

She remembered there was hangover medicine in her suitcase, prepared for her by Xie Yunshu before his business trip.

Shen Zhaoning found the hangover medicine and poured a glass of warm water. “Take this medicine and drink some warm water. You won’t feel so uncomfortable then.”

Sitting down beside him, Shen Zhaoning brought the pill to his lips.

But Fu Huaixu didn’t reach out to take it. Instead, he just looked at her, his lips pressed tightly together like a petulant child.

“What’s wrong?” Shen Zhaoning asked softly, somewhat puzzled.

“You feed me!” Fu Huaixu’s voice was hoarse and coquettish.

Seeing him so drunk, Shen Zhaoning sighed helplessly and had no choice but to feed him the medicine: “Open your mouth.”

Fu Huaixu obediently opened his mouth, and Shen Zhaoning gently placed the pill inside.

Just as she was about to withdraw her hand, Fu Huaixu lightly sucked on her finger. A tingling electric current seemed to shoot from her fingertip straight to her heart, and her face flushed slightly.

Shen Zhaoning quickly pulled her finger back as if scalded. “Here, drink some water now.”

Fu Huaixu opened his mouth and obediently drank several sips of water from her hand.

As the water slid down his throat, his chest rose and fell slightly. His slightly flushed, handsome face looked particularly captivating and even more alluring~

Back then, she had also been drawn to his face, and then… snapping back to reality, Shen Zhaoning quickly shook off the indecent thoughts in her mind~

Just as Shen Zhaoning set down the water glass, her wrist was suddenly seized by a warm, large hand.

“Ah!” she exclaimed, losing her balance and falling into Fu Huaixu’s embrace.

Lying on top of Fu Huaixu, she could clearly feel the warmth and strong heartbeat emanating from his chest.

She tried to push herself up, her hands pressed against his chest, but she felt Fu Huaixu’s arms tighten abruptly, holding her firmly in place.

“Don’t move…” Fu Huaixu’s voice sounded in her ear, tinged with hoarseness and infatuation, “Let me hold you… Zhaozhao, I’ve missed you so much…”

Shen Zhaoning’s heart trembled violently, and her struggling movements came to a halt.

At that moment, Fu Huaixu tightly gripped her slender waist.

The force was so great it seemed as if he wanted to crush her into his very bones, pressing her firmly against the wide sofa, leaving her with nowhere to escape.

He lowered his head, casting a shadow over her, and the kiss descended upon her unexpectedly.

His lips pressed heavily against hers, starting with tentative exploration before deepening, his tongue forcefully parting her lips, gradually claiming every breath she had.

Shen Zhaoning felt as though she was suffocating, the air in her lungs slowly being drawn away, the kiss heavy with the scent of alcohol making her dizzy.

His kisses gradually moved from her lips to her chin, then down to her slender neck.

His large hand impatiently slipped beneath the hem of her clothes, unable to resist caressing the soft curve of her waist.

Shen Zhaoning trembled, letting out a muffled groan, her fingers instinctively clutching the shirt over her chest.

Just as Shen Zhaoning reached out to wrap her arms around Fu Huaixu’s neck, his movements suddenly froze!

His head, buried in the crook of her neck, stopped moving, and his once rapid, heavy breathing gradually steadied.

Shen Zhaoning was taken aback, pushing his shoulder in disbelief.

“Fu Huaixu?”

There was no response.
