Chapter 1286: Chapter 1286: Why Is Xi Zelie Here?
"How are you feeling, any better?" Xi Zelie looked at her, noticing she wasn’t throwing up as violently anymore. He patted her back to help her breathe easier. Seeing her face with an unnatural flush, his eyebrows contracted involuntarily, and he pressed his rosy thin lips together, "Why did you drink so much?"
Where is Li Beijue?
How could he just let her drink this much?
Chi Enen was vomiting as if the world was spinning, and it was hard for her to feel less sick in her stomach. Her head started spinning again; she didn’t know whether it was the alcohol or the intensity of her vomiting earlier that left her gasping for air. She instinctively let go of her grip on Xi Zelie’s clothes, her bright eyes glazed over as if in surprise, or perhaps she still hadn’t fully come to her senses, "Xi... Xi Zelie?"
Seeing her state, Xi Zelie knew she’d drank a lot. His head hurt, yet he couldn’t stop feeling sorry for her. Even though Chi Enen let go of his hand, he still held her wrist. It wasn’t to take advantage of her drunken state but mainly because he was worried she couldn’t stand steadily after drinking so much. He brushed his thin lips lightly, "It’s me."
"I’ll take you home."
Chi Enen felt dizzy and uncomfortable but not so out of it that she couldn’t understand what was being said. She reflexively refused, "No, no need. I’ll call the driver to come pick me up later..."
Xi Zelie tightened his grip on her hand a bit. Although he still looked as gentle as usual, his tone brooked no refusal, "I don’t feel at ease; I’ll take you!"
Before Chi Enen could speak, "That’s settled. Wait for me a moment."
"I..."
Xi Zelie had already instructed his sidekick, "Get me a new set of clothes, quickly."
"Yes, Young Master Lie." The sidekick didn’t dare delay even a moment and jogged out to handle it.
He still held Chi Enen’s wrist and turned back to the waiter, "Get me another private room ready, and bring over a glass of hot water and sober medicine."
Xiezelai was already handsome, with a beauty that leaned towards the likes of Hanazawa Rui. Under the light, his features appeared more three-dimensional and profound. Especially his eyes, which, being peach blossom-shaped, curved upwards ever so slightly. Coupled with his wing-like dense eyelashes, they cast a shadow on his eyelids under the light, giving a gentle and focused allure.
The female waitress, her face flushed, quickly snapped out of it and said hurriedly, "Okay, sure, I’ll prepare it right away."
Xi Zelie watched her trot off and then glanced over at the group he had been dining with. He had no intention of being secretive. Although polite, he spoke indifferently, "Sorry everyone, I might not be able to join you for karaoke later, enjoy yourselves, the bill’s on me."
The others immediately understood why he couldn’t join them and tactfully replied, "Young Master Lie, you’re too kind. If you have business, take care of it first, we can arrange another gathering next time."
"Yes, yes, Young Master Lie, handle your business first, we’ll have the same fun, let’s plan next time."
"President Wang is right, Young Master Lie, take care of your business, don’t worry about us."
Though they said this, the curiosity in their eyes directed at Chi Enen grew stronger.
However, in Xi Zelie’s presence, it wasn’t appropriate to keep staring at Chi Enen, so they merely stole glances at her a few times.
After a few polite farewells, the female waitress returned, and they sensibly bade goodbye to Xi Zelie and left one by one...
After everyone had left, the female waitress said, "Please follow me."
