Forsaken By Love

"Have you been drinking?" He Lixue could smell the alcohol even before she stood next to Lu Nanfeng. She actually did not like the scent of alcohol, but when it was on Lu Nanfeng, she was not so much against it.

She did not know why Lu Nanfeng had arrived at her place when he had a driver, but she did not think much of it.

She had stayed with her teacher in her old life, so she had no scruples about staying in the same house as a man.

She came from another country, a country where they were much more open about many things, so it was no wonder that she did not care at all about staying in the same house with Lu Nanfeng.

Lu Nanfeng was also not sure why he suddenly wanted to stay over at He Lixue's place, but it could be because his own home was cold and motionless, it did not feel like a home at all.

Lu Nanfeng picked up a bag he had in his car. He always had extra casual clothes with him, and he could make his assistant bring him a new suit the following morning.

"Help me upstairs," Lu Nanfeng said, and He Lixue quickly supported him to the elevator, where they went to her floor and into her flat.

Seeing him so drunk, He Lixue could not help but smile and shake her head. She never understood the attitude towards drinking and business meetings in the evening that this country had.

In her old country, business would be discussed during the day in conference rooms, but here many business people socialized and discussed at dinner meetings and banquets. It was quite different, but she was not one to judge.

As they entered the flat, He Lixue gently nudged Lu Nanfeng into the bathroom. "Take a bath and sober up a little. I will go make a bit of food for you to have when you finish."

"Oh," Lu Nanfeng nodded his head, and looked at the petite woman, feeling a bit as if he had become a married man.

It was not a bad feeling.

His lips curled upwards, and he could not help but feel lighter and happier as he entered the bathroom with his bag of casual clothes.

He Lixue was quite concerned about Lu Nanfeng, so she often went to the door of the bathroom to listen to the sounds inside, to make sure that he had not fallen asleep or had an accident.

When he finished, He Lixue had made him a light portion of congee. She had learned cooking both in her previous life but also in her current one.

In her previous life, she had cooked western food, but in her current life, what she had learned how to make was eastern food.

Although she had more experience cooking the western food, she dared not let Lu Nanfeng see her cooking that, as it would invite some questions she did not know how to reply to.

Lu Nanfeng was feeling pampered, and the smile could not fall from his face; it was there constantly, and it made it hard for him to think straight. A life where he came home to see He Lixue every day would not be such a bad thing.

He Lixue sat opposite Lu Nanfeng as he ate, her face also split in a great smile, and she could not help but feel that he was quite adorable when drunk.

He did everything she told him to, without questioning anything. He was like an obedient child, and she could not help but laugh.

Seeing her laugh happily caused Lu Nanfeng to look at her in a daze, and his hand absentmindedly reached out and pinched her cheek. The soft touch on his hand was addictive, and he could not help but c.a.r.e.s.s the cheek time and time again.

He Lixue was surprised by the sudden touch on her cheek, but when she saw Lu Nanfeng's happy expression, she just shook her head and smiled. Since he was drunk, she would let him take advantage of her.

After a bit of time, Lu Nanfeng had finished the meal, and his eyelids were getting heavy. He was feeling quite tired, and He Lixue looked at her couch, after which she decided to lead Lu Nanfeng into the bedroom and helped him unto the bed.

He fell asleep the moment his head landed on the pillow, and He Lixue wondered for a moment if she ought to sleep on the couch, or if it would be okay for her to sleep on the bed as well.

She was not fragile at mind, and she did not feel any problem in sharing the bed, as long as they did not touch each other, but was Lu Nanfeng perhaps the same?

After considering some time, He Lixue laid down on the bed. Lu Nanfeng had come to her apartment in the middle of the night, and she was tired. It was only natural that she slept on her bed as well.

Like this, Lu Nanfeng and He Lixue slept throughout the night, and when the alarm clock rang the following morning, both of them opened their eyes, looking at one another.

While He Lixue was quick to regain her memories of the night before, Lu Nanfeng had a hard time remembering how he had ended up in He Lixue's bed.

Frowning, he found that he did not feel revolted by the thought of lying in her bed alongside her, but he was still slightly puzzled. What exactly had happened to him and her last night?

"Brother Nanfeng, how are you feeling today?" He Lixue asked with her soft and melodious voice, and Lu Nanfeng suddenly realized that he did not feel a hangover at all, although he knew that he had been drinking the day before.
