Chapter 262 - 262: Admiration
“Okay, okay. Thank you, brother. We’ll get lost far away.” After He Ming let go, the two of them scrambled out of the private room.
Hu Shanshan was stunned. She did not expect He Ming to defeat the two scoundrels with just a few punches and kicks.
Brother He was amazing, as expected of the man she fancied.
She had sobered up when He Ming was fighting with the two men.
She was relieved when the two of them finally left.
“Brother He, you’re amazing. You’re my idol.” Hu Shanshan thought that all men liked flattery.
“No more trouble. Better go home now. Don’t come to this kind of sketchy places in the future, especially you girls. You’re at a disadvantage.” He Ming advised in a brotherly fashion.
“Okay.” Hu Shanshan replied softly.
“Let’s go, I’ll send you two home.” He Ming walked out of the private room and went to the front desk to settle their bill.
“Shanshan, when did you get to know such a fine man? He can fight, he’s generous and handsome. This is the first time I’ve met such a man.” Hu Shanshan’s friend whispered to her.
“We’re just friends. It’s not the kind of relationship you assume.” Hu Shanshan slapped her friend’s arm.
“Come on. He rushed over after you called. He must care about you too. Otherwise, why would he get involved in this mess?” Hu Shanshan’s friend shared her analysis.
Hu Shanshan linked arms with her and followed He Ming out.
Hu Shanshan’s friend looked at He Ming’s tall figure and suggested,
“Shanshan, now’s a good opportunity. You can use being drunk as an excuse and fall into his bed. Make him yours.”
“What nonsense are you talking about? I’ll never do such a thing.” Hu Shanshan wanted to make He Ming hers too but she wouldn’t show it.
If her friends found out that she was the one chasing the man, they’d probably make fun of her for the rest of her life.
After all, she was a goddess in the eyes of her friends. There was no man she couldn’t conquer.
“It’s not really throwing yourself at him when you’re pursuing love.” Her friend added.
Hu Shanshan smiled.
He Ming brought his car to the driveway and Hu Shanshan got in the front passenger seat while her friend sat in the back.
“Brother He, please drop off my friend first. Her place is nearer.” Hu Shanshan then told him her friend’s address.
Hu Shanshan stared at He Ming’s large, sculpted hand holding the steering wheel steadily the whole way.
They finally arrived at her friend’s place. After Hu Shanshan’s friend said goodbye to them, Hu Shanshan said to He Ming, “Brother He, please drop me off at a hotel. I smell like alcohol now, and I can’t explain it to my parents if I go home. I told them before I came out tonight that I’ll be spending the night at
Xiaomei’s place. Xiaomei is the girl from just now.”
Hu Shanshan looked at He Ming with her pitiful and sparkling eyes.
“It’s too late at night now. It’s not safe for a girl to be alone. Go home and explain to Uncle and Auntie.” He Ming frowned.
“It’s fine. I’ll disturb them if I go home so late at night.” Hu Shanshan explained.
“If you’re worried, you can walk me to my room before you go home.” Hu Shanshan continued.
He Ming had no choice but to do as she said, but he was also frustrated that he had to come out tonight to deal with Hu Shanshan’s mess that he hadn’t even had time to call Xiaomeng.
He checked his phone earlier but there was still no reply from Xiaomeng. He couldn’t help but feel a little worried. However, when he thought about how Xiaomeng could sometimes be so engrossed with her work that she’d forget about everything else, he felt a little less nervous..
