Chapter 31: The Second World (7) [Part 3]

Zhuo Rui’s mood was a bit sour, but when his eyes landed on Yun Luo who was standing at the door, he couldn’t help but call out strangely, “Ms. Yun?

The assistant recognized Yun Luo and opened her mouth to say, “Ms. Yun, Miss Ji is drunk.”

Yun Luo walked to Ji Mo’s side and found her lying comfortably on the assistant’s back, snoring softly in deep sleep. Yun Luo felt a bit strange.

It was an odd feeling.

She still remembered the first time she met Ji Mo. The other party had her head down, hugging her knees. Clearly, she was in a guarded state.

But now, Ji Mo could comfortably get drunk and lie and sleep on her assistant’s back. Just how trusting was she with her? Had she forgotten what her former assistant had done to her before?

Yun Luo was slightly angry!

“If you can’t handle alcohol, drink less.” Yun Luo spoke very coldly, as if she were speaking to Ji Mo, or venting her dissatisfaction, but more like blaming the assistant for not stopping Ji Mo when she was drinking. But she didn’t want to make things difficult for a person who was helping, as the assistant indeed took good care of Ji Mo. “Did someone force her to drink?” Yun Luo’s cold gaze fell on Zhuo Rui, with obvious displeasure on her face. She also warned, “Ji Mo is only eighteen years old.”

She wouldn’t give Zhuo Rui, the so-called movie king, any face. Who cares about a movie king? He meant nothing in front of her.

Zhuo Rui smiled and said, “Ms. Yun misunderstood. Ji Mo seems to have a weak alcohol tolerance, and she probably only drank one glass.”

“If she can only drink one glass, then she shouldn’t drink at all. She can have non-alcoholic beverages.” 

Yun Luo was aware that she was being unreasonable in this sentence, but she felt a surge of anger. It was similar to when her subordinates presented her with a garbage proposal but tried to fool her by saying that it was a meticulously designed plan. It made her furious.

Yun Luo asked the assistant to help her take Ji Mo to her car.

The assistant, dutifully as always, asked Ji Mo and received her vague response before placing her in Yun Luo’s car with peace of mind.

After a few of them left, Zhuo Rui’s face didn’t look too good. He thought it would be easy for him to lay his hands on Ji Mo, but he didn’t expect that he couldn’t even do it after this dinner party. It looks like Ji Mo and Yun Luo were on good terms, which made him hesitate about continuing to pursue her. If he ended up messing with the Yun family, it’s certain that he wouldn’t be able to laugh again.

However, Ji Mo was just so suitable for his target that he couldn’t bear to give up.

“Xiao Wu, come up to the car with me. I have some things to ask you. You don’t have to worry about the car, I’ll have someone come to pick it up,” Yun Luo said.

Wu Ling didn’t refuse. She also felt comfortable beside Ji Mo since she was able to look after her.

Yun Luo asked, “Does Ji Mo get like this at every dinner?”

Wu Ling replied, “Most of the time, Ms. Yun doesn’t need to worry, I’ll always take Ms. Ji home safely.”

Yun Luo knew that Wu Ling was quite capable and responsible. She wouldn’t hand Ji Mo over easily to anyone else, including her, and hadn’t she asked for Ji Mo’s response first before complying with her words to place Ji Mo inside her car just now? It felt really weird to be treated like this for the first time.

“It’s you who carries Ji Mo back every time?” Yun Luo’s lips tightened into a straight line. She found it odd that she was asking things like this, but she just cared about the answer. 

Wu Ling was a bit puzzled. “Of course.”

If she’s not the one, then who else? Wasn’t it because Ms. Ji had taken a fancy to her strength and knew that she could carry her when she was drunk?

“Ji Mo collapses with just one glass. It’s a bit dangerous to be like this all the time,” Yun Luo analyzed.

Wu Ling nodded. “That’s right, but in this kind of dinner party, one can’t stay completely sober.” Wu Ling thought that Yun Luo was concerned about her good friend’s personal safety and only felt that Ms. Yun was a very kind-hearted person.

The anger in Yun Luo’s heart still remains.

Perhaps it was because her period was approaching, which caused him to feel irritable for no reason. (TL: LMAO, I didn’t expect this.)

Unable to find much to talk about with Wu Ling, Yun Luo decided not to say another word. She acknowledged that Wu Ling was a responsible assistant and that she had to give Ji Mo some face.

Suddenly, Wu Lin’s phone rang, and she looked at Yun Luo.

Yun Luo said, “Feel free to do anything, don’t be too restrained. It’s not like I eat people. Earlier, I was worried about Ji Mo’s safety. Fortunately, you were there.”

It turns out that Ms. Yun wasn’t unhappy with her. Thinking of this, Wu Ling breathed a sigh of relief.

She answered the call, and a young girl’s voice came from the other side of the phone: “Mom, when are you coming back? I haven’t seen you for a long time.”

Yun Luo pricked her ears hearing this. Wu Ling has a child?

After the call ended, Yun Luo asked, “Xiao Wu, you are married?”

Wu Ling shook her head and said, “No.”

“Then…”

“It’s the child of a close friend. My friend passed away, so I’m taking care of the child,” Wu Ling explained. Yun Luo’s eyes landed on the other party’s eyes that contains a longing expression, as if she was reminiscing about someone she deeply loved.

Yun Luo didn’t press for more details. She suddenly discovered that she wasn’t angry anymore, and the anger in her had completely disappeared. She regained her calmness. Her expression became serene, attributing her previous feelings to the emotions she would feel when her period was approaching.

“Ji Mo probably doesn’t have much to do right now. She can rest for a while. You can talk to her about going back to see the child. With me here, I can take care of Xiao Ji.” Yun Luo spoke, “The child is still young and needs the company of close family members.”

The author has something to say:

Yun Luo: I can take care of Ji Mo by myself. You can go back and see your child with peace of mind.
