Once Upon A One Night Stand

Chapter 141

"Come in first," Li Han came back to his senses. He managed to erase Shu Tian from his mind

temporarily, trying to make himself look like usual.

The two of them walked into the villa, and Li Wei and the others were waiting outside. Inside the villa, in

the silence they could only hear the clock ticking.

Li Han said after a moment, "Is there any job you're interested in? Tell me and I'll arrange it. As long as

you're in good condition, you can stay here."

He didn't promise anything, cleverly fudging the issue. Jiang Chujing understood his deep meaning, but

she didn't dare to complain directly. She had already expressed her feelings when they were in the A

Country before, but he didn't give her a clear answer, perfunctorily fudging the issue. So now, Jiang

Chujing didn't dare to ask him blindly again.

Li Han dreaded to be suppressed by her parents, but if he heartlessly insisted on breaking off all

relations with her, she couldn't change it.

So she'd better invade his life bit by bit like now. As for Shu Tian... Jiang Chujing's eyes turned cold at

the thought of that woman. No one could accept another woman to be around their man.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chujing swallowed everything she wanted to say, coming up with a good idea.

Her legs went limp and she staggered.

Li Han immediately reached out to help her and frowned, afraid that she might have an accident, "Are

you okay?"

Jiang Chujing leaned most of her body against him and said in a weak voice, "I'm fine... I feel a little

dizzy maybe because of the long flight."

"Dizzy?" Li Han held her with one hand and intended to take the phone from his pocket with the other.

"I'll call George to help you."

"No need!" Jiang Chujing grabbed his hand, but she didn't exert much strength. Her hand was draped

casually on his. "I need some time to familiarise myself with the environment around..."

She glanced up at Li Han, her dark eyes filled with tears of sadness. "Han, stay here with me today, Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

okay?"

Li Han checked the time. It was about two o'clock, and Shu Tian who was at home was probably

asleep. She had just called and asked when he would go back in a daze. He said he would be home

soon, but now...

Li Han looked down at Jiang Chujing in his arms and unconsciously withdrew his arms a little. "I'll call

Ling Junze over. We can take better care of you together tonight."

"No." Jiang Chujing refused again. She looked as if she was put in an embarrassing position. "Han,

today is my first day back home. I just want you to accompany me. Stay with me even if you don't say

or do anything. I don't want to be alone."

Li Han clenched his fist that was holding his phone. He did this when he felt difficult making a decision.

He knew that he should go home because he had promised Shu Tian, but Jiang Chujing was not

completely recovered and he couldn't leave her here alone.

Jiang Chujing reached out and tugged at the corner of the man's clothes, begging him, "I know you're

busy, but could you stay with me just for one day?"

Li Han's heart was softened and he finally nodded in agreement.

Being satisfied, Jiang Chujing's joy was so obvious. It had been a long time since her pale face had

such a lively expression, and Li Han felt sorry for her.

"I'll stay with you. You must be tired after the long trip. Wash up and go to bed early."

Jiang Chujing nodded and bent over to change her shoes. There were already slippers the size of her

feet in the shoe cabinet. Seeing it, she was very moved. "Han, thank you for doing this for me."

Li Han moved up the corners of his mouth. "It's my pleasure. Go upstairs and wash up."

"Okay, wait for me." Jiang Chujing turned around and went upstairs. Although she wasn't walking very

fast, she was walking steadily.

Seeing the woman disappear from view, Li Han turned around, walked towards the French window in

the living room, took out his phone, and editing a message several times before he finally tapped the

send button.

Then he put the phone on the windowsill as if he was holding a hot potato.

He held his breath, waiting for a reply, but he received no call. His tension finally eased. Fortunately,

Shu Tian fell asleep. If she called, he didn't know how to explain.

It was the first time that he had not gone home because of social engagements, not to mention that he

was lying.

Looking out of the window at the dark night, the breeze that was blowing across the branches sent a

chill to him though he was in the warm room. Li Han closed his eyes and did not dare to think more.

[...]

The next morning, Shu Tian woke up exceptionally early, not knowing whether it was because she had

something on her mind or because she didn't sleep soundly. She stretched and subconsciously

reached out to the side.

She originally wanted to carry the man next to her in her arms and to act cute, but unexpectedly, she

only felt the smooth sheet.

Shu Tian was confused, and then she reached out for Li Han again, only to find he was not here.

Her little face, which was covered by the quilt, wrinkled. She sat up and found that there was no sign of

anyone sleeping beside her last night. Li Han had not come back all night.

Shu Tian leaned over and took the phone from the nightstand. She then saw an unread text message.

She tapped in open, only saw a few words, "I'm drunk at dinner. You sleep first."

Reading, Shu Tian bit her lip. He was drunk?

When did he be so hard-working and drink for business personally?

Her intuition told her that there must be something strange going on. She didn't hesitate to make a call.

Fortunately, Li Han answered it soon.

The man said in a deep voice, "You are awake."

Only one sentence made Shu Tian's tempers cool. She acted cute instead of judging him, asking, "You

didn't come back last night?"

Li Han paused for two seconds before he answered, "Yes, we mixed alcohol together and it had a

strong delayed effect. I didn't want to wake you up so I slept in the hotel."

However, his voice was as clear as usual. Shu Tian tried to flush those wayward thoughts out of her

and to act gracefully. However, she couldn't help but ask him, "Who did you drink with last night?"

"The leader of the political commissar." Li Han was waiting at a traffic light. He stepped on the brakes,

explaining the reason he had rehearsed countless times in his mind.

Shu Tian knew that those people were picky and knew that the business couldn't always be done as

his wish. But she could not help but feel aggrieved because she knew that no one would make things

difficult for Li Han. As long as he wanted to come back, he could definitely do it.

For a moment, neither of them spoke. Only the sound of breathing echoed.

Shu Tian heard the sound of a car horn on his side and did not dare to say more. "Focus on your

drive."

Li Han knew she was going to hang up and called her softly, "Shu Tian."

Shu Tian paused, "Anything else?"

"Good girl, don't think too much. I'll ask the driver to pick you up later. We'll talk when we get to the

company." The man's compressed thin lips parted. He tried to say in a relaxed tone but he couldn't,

"Punish me as you wish."
