Chapter 173: Misfortune Strikes Home_1
"Even if I have to lose myself, I’ll make sure she gets back safely!" Zhou Hongjin smiled and walked in to grab his things, "He Zhilan, let’s go."
Zhou Chenyue helped Ding Jinshi sit down on the leather couch, then followed the two out of the VIP room, saying to He Zhilan, "He Zhilan, don’t worry. Compared to Ding Long, my brother is much more reliable. I wouldn’t trust Ding Long to take you home! And this Gu En, with just one sentence, he directly refused to let Lin Deng take you home, such an overbearing and selfish move."
"I know, thank you." He Zhilan expressed her gratitude sincerely, "And please thank your sister for me."
"Yeah, my sister is tough on the outside but soft on the inside. She is actually quite nice to everyone." Zhou Chenyue curved her eyebrows into a gentle smile. Yet, she found He Zhilan to be a very decent person, neither naive nor ignorant. Many things seemed to click for her without needing to be pointed out, such as her tactful refusal of Ding Long’s offer to escort her home, and realizing that her sister’s arrangements were well-intentioned.
Once they left the West Building and were walking down the quaint corridor, He Zhilan noticed the temperature drop significantly from day to night. But the cool breeze on her face was quite refreshing, especially for Zhou Hongjin who had had a few drinks.
Once they got in the car, Zhou Hongjin handed his jacket in the car to He Zhilan and smiled, "This was left in my car by that rascal Chenyue from the last time. Wrap it around yourself, it’s a bit chilly at night."
He Zhilan thanked him and quickly put it on. The wind was indeed cold and she was covered in goosebumps.
