Upon returning to her room, Meng Xiao found that Yang Yi was deep in sleep. He was still dressed, his tie askew and shoes on. She tried to undress him, but he rolled over and hugged the comforter tightly.
The smell of strong booze filled the air. It was high-proof baijiu, a Chinese spirit.
Yang Yi was out in under two minutes and was even snoring loudly.
In the past, Meng Xiao would have definitely woken him or kicked him out, making him clean up himself. But now, he had interceded on behalf of Meng Xun, her stepbrother, and she couldn't be too ruthless.
Given her limited mobility, she could only remove his shoes and tie, unbutton his shirt to make him more comfortable, and lay next to him, enduring the alcohol smell on his breath.
It was true that Meng Xun had nearly killed his uncle, and Yang Yi indeed used his connections to save Meng Xun. But he used this as leverage to pressure her into marriage.
The next day, Meng Xiao woke Yang Yi up.
