Hua Suisui, who was a bit confused, quickly realized that this wasn’t the main point. She knew Endme’s character wasn’t that open, so this was probably some kind of misunderstanding.
The problem was...
Following behind her was Endme’s boyfriend!
Endme also saw her boyfriend. After a brief moment of shock, she hurriedly and awkwardly stood up from Zhou Wang’s embrace, but it was too late. Like Hua Suisui, the tall young man had also taken in the entire scene.
"Xiaoxi, what... what are you doing?!"
Endme’s boyfriend’s face instantly turned ashen, asking incredulously.
"Chen He, don’t misunderstand, I almost fell just now, Zhou Wang was just helping me stand up..."
Endme said urgently.
"And I just happened to see it?"
Chen He laughed sarcastically, trembling with anger, "Are you guys acting in a drama here, do you really think I’ll believe this?"
"But I really didn’t do anything, believe it or not!"
Not knowing how to explain, Endme pursed her lips, looking a bit wronged.
At this moment, Hua Suisui blinked and started speaking on behalf of Endme.
"Chen He, you might really have misunderstood Xixi. She was feeling a bit dizzy just now, so she didn’t come to send Xiao Xiao off with me. And besides, Xiao Xiao and I have been here all along. Do you really think Xixi would do something to betray you?"
Hearing Hua Suisui’s words, Chen He’s face looked a bit better. He figured she was right, and Endme wasn’t the type to mess around...
Since he first met her, he pursued her for two and a half years, so he knew better than anyone that Endme, though cheerful and laughable on the outside, was actually harder to approach than any other girl.
But when he turned and saw that empty bottle of Lafite on the table and Endme’s flushed cheeks, Chen He still couldn’t help but feel a bit angry:
"Didn’t you tell me you didn’t drink much? And this is your ’not much’?"
"A few glasses of red wine aren’t much, are they?"
Having moved past her initial panic, Endme also began to get angry. "And Chen He, why did you just rush over without saying anything? Are you here to check on me?"
"If it wasn’t because you kept ignoring my messages, why would I have come?"
Chen He finished, then pointed at Zhou Wang and questioned, "And, you told me it was just a few girlfriends gathering, so who is this person, and why were you sitting next to him, staying alone in the room with him?"
Zhou Wang, who initially didn’t plan on saying anything, frowned and said calmly, "If you’re going to talk, then do it properly, don’t point fingers."
"So what if I point at you?"
Already worked up, Chen He sneered at Zhou Wang. From the first glance he had taken of Zhou Wang, he already found him annoying, and it didn’t help that he could drink ’82 Lafite, either. Why did this guy get all the good things in the world?
Now he finally found an excuse and was about to stride towards Zhou Wang.
But before he could exert the pressure of his 6’1" frame, a shadow flashed behind him. Barely able to react, Chen He felt a sharp pain in his leg, followed by a sense of weightlessness, and before he knew it, he was face down on the ground with a heavy thud amidst two girls’ startled cries.
His face made a close encounter with the smooth floor, his tall figure now more like a wriggling fish, but no matter how much he struggled, he couldn’t lift his head.
"Damn... uh!"
He cursed only once before the severe pain in his arm made him cry out in agony, unable to say another word.
The man pinning Chen He down was a sturdy guy in a sleek suit, the "assistant" Xiao Biao assigned to Zhou Wang by Zhang Shihao.
Since Zhou Wang started dining, Xiao Biao had been stationed nearby the room, never showing up to disturb Zhou Wang...
Xiao Biao silently subdued Chen He and, after he was subdued, looked up, seeking Zhou Wang’s approval with his eyes.
By this time, Endme and Hua Suisui came to their senses, realizing this man in a suit was likely Zhou Wang’s bodyguard or something similar.
"Zhou Wang, can you let him go..."
Endme couldn’t help looking towards Zhou Wang.
"Zhou Wang, maybe we should just let it go, Chen He isn’t a bad person, he might have just been a bit impulsive just now..."
Hua Suisui cautiously advised.
Zhou Wang, without much expression, looked slightly resigned.
He made me look like the villain!
He nodded towards Chen He, "Let him go."
"Yes, Mr. Zhou!"
Xiao Biao responded and then released Chen He.
Chen He couldn’t stand up immediately. After gritting his teeth and moving his arm, he finally struggled to stand.
There was still some residual anger on his face, but he didn’t dare to say anything more to Zhou Wang.
"Suisui, and... Zhou Wang, I’m sorry for today, I’ll leave first."
Endme forced a smile to both of them, then grabbed her LV bag and walked out of the room without looking back.
"Xiaoxi..."
Chen He hurriedly chased after her.
After Xiao Biao bowed slightly to Zhou Wang, he exited the room again. Xiao An, who had been standing at the door, now came back in, apologizing to Zhou Wang, "I’m sorry, Mr. Zhou, I thought that man was a friend of yours, so I didn’t stop him..."
Zhou Wang waved a hand to stop her from continuing.
Hua Suisui then jogged over, grabbed Zhou Wang’s arm, lightly shook it, and murmured with her head down, "Zhou Wang, it’s my fault, I didn’t know Chen He would come over without telling Xiaoxi..."
"It’s not your fault, and besides, I didn’t do much. They’re a couple, after all, it’s understandable."
Zhou Wang really didn’t put the incident to heart and indicated for Hua Suisui not to worry. He just casually asked, "What does that Chen He do?"
"He’s a model, you know, doing quite well in that circle of his. He’s usually alright, perhaps he just cares too much for Xiaoxi. Heehee, he chased after Xiaoxi for more than two years before she said yes..."
