Having said that, Lin Chuan rushed forward in a swift motion and stomped down on Liu Dagu's shin.

Crack...

With that stomp, Liu Dagu immediately passed out from the pain.

Lin Chuan turned around, picked up Secretary Tang, and quickly left the Triumphal Arch Hotel. Outside, Luo Guoqing had finally extricated himself, and when he saw Lin Chuan coming out with Tang Yumeng, he let out a sigh of relief. "Goodness, you made it just in time," Luo Guoqing hurriedly said. "It was about to turn into a disaster."

"Give me the keys," Lin Chuan said as he placed Tang Yumeng in the back seat.

"Here you go," Luo Guoqing quickly handed over the Audi's keys.

Unexpectedly, Lin Chuan gave Luo Guoqing another set of keys, saying, "Help me drive that car back to Jiangbei City."

Not far away, a military green Beijing Jeep. Luo Guoqing took a glance and said, "Wow, this is yours? I love this old relic."

Lin Chuan got into the Audi and drove away. The car contained only him and Tang Yumeng. Luo Guoqing and Xiao Xue were left behind. Lin Chuan drove all the way back to Jiangbei City and took Tang Yumeng back to the house in the City Committee compound.

The house was empty; the young maid was not at home.

Lin Chuan carried Tang Yumeng into the master bedroom and placed her on the bed. Tang Yumeng's body was burning up at this point; she had drunk too much alcohol, well beyond her limit. Now the alcohol had entered her bloodstream, evaporating and giving off a lot of heat.

In a hurry, Lin Chuan stripped off her clothes, removing her top and pants, leaving only her underwear. Her skin was as white as snow, flawless. This was the epitome of a perfect woman. Her figure was proportionate in all the right ways, the kind that could make one's blood surge. Lin Chuan is a man, and if he said the scene before him held no temptation, that would be false. Though Lin Chuan is a man, at least he's a decent one. He wouldn't take advantage of others while they're vulnerable.

Lin Chuan quickly filled a basin with warm water and took several new towels from the cabinet. After soaking the towels in warm water, he wrung them out and carefully placed them on Tang Yumeng's exposed skin, covering her entire body. When the towels cooled, Lin Chuan would dip them in warm water again, wring them out, and repeat the process.

Like this, it was past nine at night before Tang Yumeng's body temperature returned to normal. Lin Chuan hastily collected all the towels and wrapped her body with the bedding to warm her up quickly. The most effective way to sober up was like this, using hot towels to wrap the body, allowing the alcohol to quickly seep into the towels.

That basin of water had turned into a low-alcohol solution.

Lin Chuan poured out the water, then sat by the bed. The round bed was quite beautiful, and with Tang Yumeng lying there, she looked like a princess, serenely asleep. Her previously pained expression was gone, her lips slightly curved up, seemingly drawing a faint smile.

"Finally, a bit better," Lin Chuan held Tang Yumeng's hand, saying, "Silly woman, for the sake of work, what wouldn't you sacrifice? If I hadn't arrived in time today, wouldn't your chastity have been compromised? How could you go on living after that?"

Lin Chuan understood Tang Yumeng; she was a conservative woman. So conservative that when she kissed him last time, she even slapped him, and yet, there was a mutual liking between them. A kiss built on this mutual liking was also met with a slap. So if she had slept with Liu Dagu, one could imagine the outcome; she definitely wouldn't have been able to live with it.

While holding Tang Yumeng's hand, Lin Chuan gently kissed it, saying, "Rest well, I won't disturb you anymore."

"Mmmng..." Tang Yumeng suddenly turned over and murmured, "Lin Chuan... don't be mad at sister... don't leave..."

Even her sleep talk was so clear. Lin Chuan turned back to look at Tang Yumeng, his expression a mix of grievance and sadness. He found himself feeling reluctant to leave, so he set down the keys, returned to the side of the bed, and sat down, gently kissing Tang Yumeng's forehead. "Alright, I won't leave. I'll stay with you..."

Finished speaking, Lin Chuan sat down on the adjacent sofa. The view from the window was quite nice. Lin Chuan, with a cigarette in his mouth, was about to light it when he glanced again at Tang Yumeng lying on the bed and quietly put down the unlit cigarette.

Giving up smoking is a painful choice for a man. Many believe they will never quit smoking in their lifetime.

In fact, there's nothing in this world that can't be given up. It's just that you haven't met the person who makes you determined enough to quit smoking. Lin Chuan smiled, holding the cigarette under his nose and took several deep breaths, trying to savor the smell of the tobacco, letting the aroma satisfy his sense of smell.

Outside the window, the night was enchanting; inside the room, the beauty was enticing.

Lin Chuan had no restless thoughts, only a peaceful and composed heart.

The charming night seemed like a lullaby luring one to sleep. Slowly, Lin Chuan sitting on the sofa, fell asleep.

......

The next day, the sunlight pierced the sheer curtains and fell upon Lin Chuan. When he awoke, he found himself sleeping on the carpeted floor. He quickly got up, slightly surprised by the sight in the room, but his heart calmed down immediately when he saw Tang Yumeng sleeping peacefully on the bed.

Lin Chuan stretched lazily and then walked over.

Just as he sat down by the bed, Tang Yumeng woke up.

"Lin Chuan, you..." Tang Yumeng looked puzzled.

"Sis, you're awake?" Lin Chuan smiled at Tang Yumeng, pinched her nose, and said, "You drank too much yesterday, remember?"

"I..." Tang Yumeng felt as if she was experiencing a blackout, but she quickly remembered. She exclaimed in surprise, "I remember now, that bastard Liu Dagu he..."

"Mhm," Lin Chuan nodded.

"Lin Chuan, thank you." Tang Yumeng hurriedly propped herself up.

The two proud beauties on her chest were completely exposed. Tang Yumeng was shocked and quickly wrapped herself with the quilt, exclaiming, "You... Did you... undress me?"

"Yes." Lin Chuan nodded and said, "To help you sober up, if you didn't quickly, you would have gotten alcohol poisoning."

"I..." Tang Yumeng's face turned red, she bit her lip and said, "Get out!"

Lin Chuan stood up, laughed and said, "Sis, I... I didn't mean to, and besides, I didn't do anything."

"Get out, I need to get dressed!" Tang Yumeng glared at Lin Chuan. Her heart was in turmoil. Somehow, she had been completely seen by Lin Chuan. She was nearly naked.

"Hehe, since I've already seen everything, what's the difference?" Lin Chuan said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if you change in front of me."

"You!" Tang Yumeng was about to get angry.

"Alright, alright, I'll leave, okay?" Lin Chuan quickly nodded. He scurried out.

Pfft...

Seeing Lin Chuan's comical exit, Tang Yumeng couldn't help but chuckle, her smile as bright as the sunlight outside the window. The winter sun always warms the heart. Tang Yumeng suddenly felt cheerful, as if yesterday's events no longer had much impact on her. Her smile was radiant, her whole being was joyful.

"You little rascal." Tang Yumeng bit her lip and then crawled out of the bed.

After putting on her robe, Tang Yumeng went to the bathroom to freshen up. After finishing, she walked out. Coming out of the bathroom, she saw Lin Chuan smoking a cigarette in the living room alone.

"Haven't had breakfast yet?" asked Tang Yumeng.

"No." Lin Chuan shook his head and said, "Shall we... go out to eat?"

"No need, I'll cook for you." Tang Yumeng smiled sweetly.

"Great." Lin Chuan quickly nodded and said, "Today is Christmas. If I can eat your breakfast, that would be really special."

"Smooth talker." Tang Yumeng turned and went into the kitchen.

Lin Chuan sat alone in the spacious living room. This house belonged to Tang Yumeng, moreover, it was assigned to her by the City Committee. In Jiangbei City, conservatively estimated, it was worth over one and a half million. And considering this is the City Committee's complex, given the status of the people living here, someone might be willing to pay two million for it.

The house's decoration was quite nice, matching Tang Yumeng's personality and aesthetics. Of course, there were some things Lin Chuan couldn't appreciate. Such as those Western abstract paintings.

In the kitchen, after some bustling about, Tang Yumeng finally prepared breakfast. Tang Yumeng, who rarely cooked, actually made breakfast for Lin Chuan this time. Actually, it was nothing complicated, she fried a few sunny-side-up eggs, toasted some bread in the microwave, and warmed up two cups of milk...

"Let's eat." Tang Yumeng came out.

"Sis, your cooking is pretty good, the eggs are fried beautifully," Lin Chuan said with a smile.

"Of course." Tang Yumeng looked proudly at Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan wolfed down his food: three sandwiches, two fried eggs, one pillow bread, and an egg. Right, and a cup of milk. Tang Yumeng already knew Lin Chuan could eat a lot, so she made an extra portion for him. Not only that, but she also gave some of her portion to him. He happily accepted, taking big bites and gulping down the milk.

"I'm full." Lin Chuan patted his belly.

Tang Yumeng covered her mouth and laughed, "You really eat a lot. Not just anyone can afford to feed you."

"Sis, do you plan on providing for me?" Lin Chuan pretended to be shy.

"Go away." Tang Yumeng rolled her eyes, "I can't afford you. With your appetite, I'd have to work so hard just to earn enough."

"I could make you very comfortable," Lin Chuan said with a mischievous smile.

"Get lost." Tang Yumeng blushed.

"Where did your thoughts go?" Lin Chuan's expression changed, and he said seriously, "I was saying that my massage skills are great, you should try it sometime."

Tang Yumeng's face became even redder.

"Tch..." Tang Yumeng scoffed disdainfully, "Go away, who has time for you."
