Chapter 1868: Drunk

Xu Shu fulfilled his duty as a host, “I’ve arranged cars for everyone, I’ll send you over.”

“We can find it! It’s not our first time at Grandpa Jiang’s house, we know where the parking lot is, Brother Shu, you take care of Tingting, we’re leaving now, see you later!”

Xu Shu replied lightly, “See you later.”

Two minutes later, everyone gradually left, the previously chaotic atmosphere had calmed down.

Xu Tingting seemed boneless, leaning heavily against him, her hands flailing weakly on him before giving up due to lack of strength, her entire weight pressed on him. Xu Shu almost couldn’t stand, as drunk as she was, she wouldn’t listen to reason, so he didn’t bother trying, he simply picked her up and walked away.

“Ah Shu.”

His aunt chased after him, carrying a few boxes of pastries. She saw Tingting’s flushed cheeks and pressed the back of her hand against them, “This child, how did she drink so much? Wasn’t anyone watching her?”

Xu Shu replied helplessly, “Someone was watching her, but it didn’t work.”

“It’s normal, this little troublemaker, who dares to control her? She has no capacity for alcohol, just drinks blindly. You should hurry home, are you able to drive, or should I call a driver for you?”

“No need, Aunt, I haven’t drunk, I’ll drive.”

“Alright then.”

His aunt walked out with him, personally placing the pastries in the back of the car, “These are from your grandfather, he said Tingting likes them. You didn’t eat much at dinner, he saw you eat a few pieces of pastry in the afternoon, so he asked me to pack more for you. Remember to eat them when you get home, don’t leave them for too long.”

While talking, she helped him get Xu Tingting into the back seat, then climbed in to find a pillow for her to rest on.

Concerned, she asked, “Is everything really okay?”

“Don’t worry, Aunt, it’s fine.”

His aunt sighed, “Alright, I won’t see you off, drive slowly on the road.”

Xu Shu acknowledged her words, sat in the front seat, rolled down the window to wave at her, then drove out of the parking spot and slowly left.

There were no traffic jams on the way back, he drove slowly, it took more than an hour just like on the way there.

He drove directly to the front of the villa, carrying Tingting out of the car, and the butler, hearing the noise, came rushing out to help. Xu Shu sidestepped, “Please, take the pastries out of the back, some need to be refrigerated, please be thorough.”

“Alright, Young Master, is Miss okay, does she need hangover soup?”

Xu Shu glanced at the person in his arms, when getting out of the car she’d faced the wind, she snuggled her face into his chest with a grumpy frown. Xu Shu hugged her shoulders, turning her inwards to shield her from the wind, “No need, she’s quite obedient when drunk, won’t cause trouble, let her sleep.”

“Thankfully, sir and madam are asleep.”

Xu Shu asked, “Has Uncle Qing returned?”

“No, the second young master called, said he had social obligations and hasn’t come back yet. By the way, when the second young master comes back late from socializing, he usually wants a late-night snack. The kitchen is prepared, do you want to eat, Young Master?”

Xu Shu, “Get it ready, I’ll eat with him when he gets back.”

The butler nodded, watched Xu Shu go upstairs, then carried the pastries to the kitchen.

When opening the door, Xu Shu bent one leg, his knee against the wall, he placed Xu Tingting on his leg, loosely wrapped his hand around her leg, gently pressed to turn the door handle, and then carried her inside.

The door shut automatically, before it closed completely Xu Shu nudged it with his toe, leaving a gap.

He placed Xu Tingting in the bed, carefully withdrawing his hands, she suddenly turned over, her arms reached out, and half of her body slung over his arm again.
