Gu Yunting was brought back well past three in the morning. Ye Wan had already fallen asleep. She was woken by Nanny Sun knocking on her door. Ye Wan, thinking something had happened, opened the door to see Nanny Sun looking anxious. "Ye Wan, the young master is drunk. Young Master Jin and Jiang Jing brought him back. Please go and check on him."
"What? What good will it do if I go when he's drunk?" Ye Wan felt the situation was absurd and just wanted to sleep.
"Young Master Jin asked you to go. Hurry now." Nanny Sun pulled Ye Wan and led her out.
Upon reaching the living room, Ye Wan saw Jin Lan and Jiang Jingxiu sitting on the sofa, drinking sobering tea, while Gu Yunting lay on the sofa, completely unconscious.
"Why did he drink so much?" Ye Wan frowned, looking at Gu Yunting.
"You should be the one to ask. What did you do to provoke him again, making him drink like he didn't care about his life? His stomach is already not good. If he gets a perforated ulcer or something, you'll be responsible for the rest of your life," Jin Lan said, his foxy eyes smiling at her.
Ye Wan's eyes widened in alarm. "What does his drinking have to do with me? I'm not responsible!"
She had been confined to the Gu residence for over a decade. She didn't want another ten years. She just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
"Then don't provoke him. Don't make us suffer too," Jin Lan grumbled. He felt miserable too. Although he hadn't drunk as much as Gu Yunting, he had still drunk a considerable amount.
"I didn't provoke him." Ye Wan was puzzled. When had she provoked Gu Yunting? He had clearly smashed the bowl and left, and she had been scared.
"Alright, alright. We've brought him back for you. Take good care of him, and we should be going," Jiang Jingxiu said, standing up and staggering towards the door.
Ye Wan: "?"
She was supposed to take care of him?
The Gu residence had so many servants. Why should she be the one to take care of him? Was it because she didn't get paid?
Nanny Sun saw Jin Lan and Jiang Jingxiu out and never returned. Ye Wan looked at the man passed out on the sofa and glanced at the door several times. Nanny Sun was nowhere to be seen.
Ye Wan: "..."
She had no choice but to resignedly walk over. She reached out to support Gu Yunting, saying, "Get up. I'll help you back to your room to sleep."
Gu Yunting opened his eyes slightly and glanced at her. He tried to prop himself up on the sofa to sit up. Seeing this, Ye Wan quickly helped, supporting his arm and pushing him with all her might, finally helping him sit steadily on the sofa.
His head rested on the sofa. He felt a splitting headache and a suffocating frustration. Drinking when one was in a bad mood often led to a headache. Moreover, he felt like vomiting now, all because of the brat next to him!
"Cooperate with me a little. I'll help you back to your room to sleep. If you don't cooperate, I can't lift you."
Gu Yunting was 1.88 meters tall and built like a bull. Ye Wan was 1.7 meters tall and delicate. If he didn't cooperate, she wouldn't be able to move him at all.
Gu Yunting softly hummed an 'mm' and, with Ye Wan's help, stood up. They walked upstairs together. Ye Wan felt like she was about to collapse, but she gritted her teeth and persevered. The man stumbled several times on the stairs, clearly very drunk.
After finally managing to get him to his room and him collapsing onto the bed, Ye Wan also fell down with him. She quickly got up and shook her arms vigorously, breaking into a sweat. She had truly used all her strength...
"Water... water..." Gu Yunting felt very thirsty. His clothes were constricting around his neck, making him uncomfortable. He tugged forcefully, and several buttons on his shirt popped off.
