Chapter 2916

Su Xinghui said, "Yes, they drank so much red wine; how could they not be drunk? Fortunately, Director Liu's younger brother came, otherwise we really wouldn't have known what to do with them."

The chubby boss did know that Liu Qiang was Liu Xin's younger brother; it was Liu Xin who had called him over earlier. When he entered the private room, Liu Xin had told him that Liu Qiang was her younger brother, so he didn't suspect anything. He said to Su Xinghui, "Then be careful, do you need help?"

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "Thank you, boss, no need for help."

Su Xinghui and Liu Qiang helped the two women to the car. Liu Qiang took the car keys from Liu Xin's bag and opened the car door. The two helped the women into the back seat and let them lean against the backrest. Su Xinghui sat in the front passenger seat and directed Liu Qiang to drive the car into the municipal government compound.

Su Xinghui had Liu Qiang park the car under the building where he and Xin Jing lived. He helped Xin Jing out. Fortunately, it was already past eight o'clock, and it was pitch black downstairs, so no one could see them.

Su Xinghui said, "Liu Qiang, then you take your sister home."

Liu Qiang nodded and whispered, "Mayor Su, thank you!"

Liu Qiang started the car and drove out of the municipal government compound in a flash. Su Xinghui shook his head and helped Xin Jing walk upstairs.

Xin Jing was groggy and couldn't even walk, let alone go upstairs. Su Xinghui simply carried her on his back. To avoid being heard by others, he lightened his footsteps so that the voice-activated lights in the hallway wouldn't turn on. Fortunately, the moonlight in the sky was quite bright tonight, and his eyesight was very good, so he was able to go upstairs by the moonlight.

Su Xinghui carried Xin Jing upstairs. At her door, he took her house key from her bag, opened the door, carried her inside, and closed the door again.

He placed Xin Jing on her bed, pulled the quilt over her, went to the bathroom to scald a towel with hot water, and brought it into the room with the basin. He applied the hot towel to Xin Jing's forehead, which would make her feel better.

Just as he was applying the towel to Xin Jing's forehead, Xin Jing groaned, "Xinghui, Xinghui..."

Su Xinghui thought she was regaining consciousness and said, "Xin Jing, I'm here."

Xin Jing didn't wake up. She closed her eyes and said, "Xinghui, I like you, I like you so much!"

Xin Jing's words shocked Su Xinghui again. Xin Jing liked him too? During this period, although Xin Jing had been very close to him, Su Xinghui always felt it was a friendship and didn't think about it in terms of romantic feelings. This might be because he was a man and was relatively slow in this regard, or perhaps he felt that both he and Xin Jing were married and Xin Jing wouldn't develop such feelings for him.

He always thought that he and Xin Jing were allies in work and friends in life. Who knew that Xin Jing actually liked him too.

This made Su Xinghui feel unacceptable. This was not because Xin Jing was older than him or because he disliked Xin Jing, but because he already had Lu Xiaoya, and Xin Jing also had a husband. Such feelings were immoral.

He also reflected on his own behavior, wondering if he had made Xin Jing misunderstand. He knew that Xin Jing's marriage with her husband was not happy, and perhaps this misunderstanding led Xin Jing to entrust her unhappy emotional life to him.

He felt that he shouldn't get too close to Xin Jing in the future.

Thinking of this, Su Xinghui continued to apply the towel to Xin Jing's forehead, then used his right hand to pinch Xin Jing's pulse and input a stream of true energy into her body to help her dispel the drug's effect.

After inputting true energy for a while, Xin Jing coughed and showed signs of wanting to vomit. Su Xinghui quickly helped her sit up, picked up the basin, and let her vomit into it. After vomiting, Xin Jing should be fine and able to wake up.

If he left Xin Jing alone at home, Su Xinghui certainly wouldn't be at ease, but if he stayed here to accompany Xin Jing for the night, that wouldn't be realistic; it would be too suspicious.

Xin Jing vomited into the basin, quite a lot. After she finished, Su Xinghui wiped her face clean with a towel, let her lie down, took the basin to the toilet to pour it out, washed the basin clean, and made a cup of brown sugar water for Xin Jing, bringing it over for her to drink.

Xin Jing woke up. She saw Su Xinghui taking care of her and asked, "Xinghui, did I drink too much?"

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Yes, you drank too much. I brought you back. Drink some brown sugar water; you'll feel better after drinking it."

Xin Jing looked at Su Xinghui with tender eyes and said, "Thank you, Xinghui!"
