Acting Drunk

The dim and cramped car was silent. Jiang Jiu's chin hurt, and an extremely handsome face was reflected in her eyes. Tsk tsk, he was worth billions and had a top-notch reputation. Such a Lu Jinxing indeed had the right to be insufferably arrogant. Even though they knew that they were like a moth to a flame, countless socialites and young ladies were still willing to kneel at his feet.

Jiang Jiu wasn't a rich young lady or a socialite. If Lu Jinxing was a beautiful dream, she didn't even have the right to dream about him.

She and he were not from the same world.

Jiang Jiu came back to her senses and replied calmly, "I don't have the guts to use Third Young Master. I don't dare. Besides… I don't have that ability."

This was true. There were countless women who wanted to cling to him, but none of them dared to anger him. Lu Jinxing pinched her chin and raised her face. "Was your ex-boyfriend's alcohol good tonight?"

"…"

Jiang Jiu cursed in her heart. A man's possessiveness was indeed domineering. Even if he didn't take her to heart, he wouldn't allow his woman to have anything to do with another man.

"Third Young Master also said that he was an ex-boyfriend," Jiang Jiu said self-deprecatingly. "At that time, this matter caused quite a stir. Everyone in the circle knew that I had my engagement broken off in public and was miserably abandoned."

Hearing this, Lu Jinxing narrowed his black eyes. He had indeed heard about Song Shaoshi breaking off the engagement back then, but he didn't know much about it. He wasn't interested in other people's matters, but he didn't expect him to be involved in it in the blink of an eye.

"What Third Young Master is worried about won't happen." Jiang Jiu's chin hurt from being pinched and she frowned in discomfort. "I will cleanly defend the name of Mrs. Lu and definitely not embarrass the Lu family."

Every time Lu Jinxing was unhappy, Jiang Jiu could twist his words. When Lu Jinxing heard the words "clean", he let go of her chin.

"Remember what you said." Lu Jinxing retracted his upper body and leaned against the other side of the back seat. "If the Lu family loses any face because of you, I won't let you off!"

Jiang Jiu was silent. She knew that his harsh words were true. She had experienced it firsthand a few times.

The light and shadow on both sides of the street intersected. Jiang Jiu was a little tipsy. Her forehead leaned against the car window, but her mind was surprisingly clear. She was a reserved person. Perhaps because her parents were too cold and didn't take her seriously, she was used to protecting herself carefully. Thanks to the scumbag Song Shaoshi, her finally-opened heart completely closed.

She would never try to love again. She couldn't refuse this marriage, but she could refuse to be hurt again.

The car stopped outside the building and the two of them returned to the master bedroom one after another. Recently, Lu Jinxing had been at home every day. Jiang Jiu had just taken off her coat when she was pushed onto the bed.

The mixture of several types of alcohol tonight was a little too much. Jiang Jiu endured her dizziness and placed her hands on the man's chest. "You…"

"Your alcohol tolerance is not bad." Lu Jinxing pressed her down, took off his suit jacket with one hand, and threw it at the end of the bed. "You've also gone to class. Have you improved a little?"

Pfft!

Alarm bells rang in Jiang Jiu's heart and she instantly understood his intentions. She was also puzzled. This man had countless famous models around him. Why did he always have to squeeze her dry?

There was no time to think too much. Jiang Jiu came up with an idea in her panic. She suddenly stood up. Lu Jinxing was caught off guard and was pushed away by her brute force. He slammed into the wall.

F*ck!

Lu Jinxing cursed. Before he could flare up, he saw Jiang Jiu pounce over and hold his face with both hands.

"Hey, you're so good-looking. Give your number."

"Come, come, come. Tell me, are you an adult?"

"Your nose bridge is really high, and your face is so tender…"

As she spoke, Jiang Jiu even reached up and down and pulled Lu Jinxing's shirt with both hands, forcefully breaking two buttons.

"Jiang Jiu!"

Lu Jinxing grabbed her hand and glared at her suspiciously. "Are you pretending to be drunk again?"

She was sober on the way back, but she was drunk now? He didn't believe it.

"What pretend?" Jiang Jiu's eyes were blurry, and her fair face was red. "Boy, let me tease you. I'll take responsibility for you."

Responsible my ass!

Lu Jinxing pulled her hand away. Was she really drunk? After all, she had drunk a lot tonight, and it was a mixture of several types of alcohol.

"Aiya, why are you hiding?"

"Come here and give me a kiss."

"Blergh—"

"You're not allowed to vomit. Hold it back!" Lu Jinxing was furious. He pointed at Jiang Jiu and roared.

"Ooh!"

Perhaps frightened by his shout, Jiang Jiu covered her mouth and looked at him. Her black eyes were sparkling.

Lu Jinxing pushed the person in front of him away and walked into the bathroom with a dark expression. He closed the bathroom door forcefully.

Not long after, the sound of water splashing could be heard in the bathroom. Jiang Jiu's body, which was lying on the big bed, finally relaxed. It seemed that she was quite good at pretending. Although it was risky, it was worth it to avoid a calamity.

After her body relaxed, the alcohol gradually hit her. Jiang Jiu was a little dizzy. She wrapped her arms around her body and lay on the outermost side of the bed.

After a while, Lu Jinxing came out of the shower. He was wearing a white sleeping robe and pulled open the blanket to get into bed. The person beside him was already sound asleep. Perhaps because of the alcohol, Jiang Jiu's cheeks were red, and there was a faint smell of alcohol on her breath. It wasn't unpleasant.

Lu Jinxing pulled the blanket over and looked at Jiang Jiu's body, which was leaning against the side. She covered her chest with her hands and looked cautious. Why? Was he a ferocious beast that could eat her?

Yes, he could indeed eat her.

Lu Jinxing's thin lips curled up slightly, and a faint smile flashed across the corners of his eyes. He was aggrieved by this marriage, but since she had become Mrs. Lu, if she dared to have any other thoughts, he would definitely not let her off easily!

The next morning, Jiang Jiu woke up from the cold. She opened her eyes and realized that the warm blanket was pulled to the side. There was nothing covering her.

The place beside her was long empty, and Lu Jinxing was nowhere to be seen in the bedroom. Could this man be any stingier?

"Mhn."

Jiang Jiu's head hurt a little. It was the aftereffect of last night's alcohol. She got out of bed, washed up, and went downstairs for breakfast. After parking the car at the club last night, she had no choice but to get the car first before rushing to the law firm. She was almost late.

"Sister Jiu, someone is in your office."

As soon as she entered the law firm, the assistant reported excitedly, "A rich person, very rich."

'Very rich?'

Jiang Jiu frowned. Why would a rich person look for an unknown lawyer like her?

Pushing open the office door, Jiang Jiu's curved lips instantly sank when he saw a man and a woman sitting in the chair.

They were really persistent!

"Miss Jiang." Lin Yin stood up and took the initiative to greet her innocently.

In the chair at the side, Song Shaoshi reached out and wrapped his arm around Lin Yin's waist, pulling her to sit beside him. "Lawyer Jiang, it's cold here. I heard that you can't take many cases."

Had Song Shaoshi's childish habit not changed? In the past, he liked to pester her, but back then, she was touched. Now, she only felt disgusted.

Jiang Jiu sneered and sat down opposite them.
