The man he was now was a perfect match for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she, on the other hand, felt like she wasn’t quite worthy of him now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, a man with his kind of resources must come from a prominent family. How could they possibly allow him to be with an older, divorced woman?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...to use Xu Yun’s own words from earlier, why should she think so far ahead!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Live one happy day at a time. Why should she hold herself back?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I’m a divorced woman. I don’t need to care about that stuff anymore.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mu thought again of that cup of brown sugar fruit juice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I’ll just consider it repaying a kindness.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She casually found an excuse to convince herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mu rolled over, and they were suddenly face to face, only a few centimeters apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun’s eyes widened in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He instantly felt a heavy, substantial pressure on his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the faint scent of her perfume wafted over him, refreshing and captivating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mu looked down, her breath carrying a hint of alcohol, and asked with a seductive smile, \"If I’m willing, then it’s not against a woman’s will, is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun was a little drunk, not dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind was still clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the things he’d just said to Su Mu were things he’d wanted to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That whole \"drunk words are sober thoughts\" thing was bullshit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just people using alcohol as an excuse to say what they really wanted to say, to frantically test the other person’s boundaries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never expected her to actually respond!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so directly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It caught him completely off guard!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun swallowed hard and said, \"Su Mu, if you keep this up, I might actually do something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just kidding.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mu suddenly stood up, straightened her clothes, and smiled. \"Alright, it’s getting late, and we’ve had enough to drink. You can finish the rest yourself. I’m heading back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, she ignored Xu Yun’s reaction, grabbed her bag, and prepared to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seriously? You think this is okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun sat up, instantly dissatisfied. \"You just flirt with me and then leave? What am I supposed to do now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do it yourself,\" Su Mu said with a triumphant smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\" Xu Yun was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before closing the door behind her, she didn’t forget to add a \"kind\" reminder, \"I’ve been drinking, so I can’t drive. Remember to drive my car to the company for me tomorrow morning. Don’t be late, or I might have to dock your pay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\" Xu Yun was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She definitely did that on purpose!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Fine, fine, fine. You win!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he had the Do as You Please System, he didn’t dare do anything illegal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, without her consent, he couldn’t make a single move. He could only let her leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving Xu Yun’s apartment, Su Mu stepped into the elevator and let out a long sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t nearly as calm and casual as she had appeared. Thinking back on how forward she had just been, her heart was now pounding a little fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’That was so close. So close. I almost acted on impulse, using the alcohol as an excuse to... with Xu Yun...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Good thing I slammed on the brakes.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’And it’s also a good thing Xu Yun didn’t just go for it.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If he had been just a little more forceful back there, under those circumstances, she might have just closed her eyes and let it happen.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Worst case, when we woke up tomorrow, to avoid the awkwardness, we could just say we were drunk...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’We’re both adults, and we’re both single. It’s perfectly normal for something like this to happen once in a while.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’That way, neither of us would have to be responsible for the other.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving the residential complex, Su Mu called a private car and headed home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jinshu was at home, still scantily clad. Seeing Su Mu walk in, she asked from the living room, \"Where have you been? I sent you a message, but you didn’t reply.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nowhere special, just went out to dinner with a friend.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jinshu sniffed the smell of alcohol on her. \"You were drinking?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mmm, a little.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mu said, \"I’m going to take a shower first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A guy friend or a girl friend?\" Li Jinshu asked, eager for gossip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Su Mu ignored her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jinshu pouted and went back to watching her TV drama, \"With Phoenix.\" ’The Divine Monarch in this is so handsome,’ she thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later, Su Mu came out of the shower and went straight to her room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jinshu thought she must have had too much to drink. She got up and knocked on the door. \"Are you drunk? Want me to make you some honey water?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need, I’m fine. Just a little tired.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mu lay on her bed, scrolling through her phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she saw a social media post Xu Yun had updated half an hour ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Xu Yun: The loneliness of one person is the fault of two...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mu, of course, knew why he couldn’t sleep. She couldn’t help but smile, pursing her lips as she reached out a slender hand and silently gave his post a ’like’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, in another apartment, Ning Qian also saw Xu Yun’s post.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She immediately left a concerned comment below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[What’s wrong? Are you in a bad mood? Do you need me to come have a drink with you?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she waited for a long time without getting a reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sleepless night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He woke up the next morning, and it was already past 9:00. He was definitely going to be late for work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun didn’t really care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened his phone, saw the little red dot notification on his social media, and tapped it open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also saw Ning Qian’s comment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too bad he’d gone straight to sleep after posting last night and hadn’t seen it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It’s all fate!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Otherwise, after being teased like that last night, there’s no way he would have slept alone.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were also some less-than-serious comments from other friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Lonely? Lonely my ass! Come work overtime with me!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Go to Crystal Palace, ask for number 88. Guaranteed to cure your loneliness tonight.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Listen to me, go to Magic Finger Impression. Number 33 is where you belong.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You guys upstairs have no class. Let me tell you a real place: Great Waves Washing the Sand, number 21. If it’s no good, you can come curse me out!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[What single man isn’t lonely?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Bro, if you don’t mind, I’m willing to sacrifice myself...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun scrolled through them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, there was even a heartwarming comment from his mom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Son, don’t let work stress you out too much. Drink less alcohol, it’s bad for your health.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the most infuriating thing was that Xu Yun discovered Su Mu, the culprit herself, had actually ’liked’ his post!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This is too much!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She’s twisting the knife!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I’ll get my revenge when I see her at the office today.
