Chapter 321: Checking Up On Him?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When Zhang Ji heard Zhang Jing’s words, he said reluctantly, “Alright, let him drink the last glass later.”
Liang Xun had never thought of asking Jing Yao to call him to help him out, so when he picked up the call, he only thought that Jing Yao had something to ask him.
“Yaoyao misses me?”
Although she had indeed missed Liang Xun from the moment he left, Liang Xun’s tail would be wagging if she admitted it at a time like this.
Jing Yao said, “No, are you going back to the hotel now?”
Liang Xun stood by the corridor window to answer the call. At this moment, the wind blew over. The alcohol he had drunk earlier had taken effect. His temples were throbbing and he felt a little dizzy.
It was just that his thoughts were a little slow, but he was still very clear-headed.
Hearing Jing Yao’s words, he knew how to get to the point. “Yaoyao, do you really not miss me? But 1 miss Yaoyao very much.”
Jing Yao’s ears felt hot. She opened her mouth a few times but couldn’t say anything. She just asked the question again. “Are you back to the hotel?”
Liang Xun chuckled. “Wifey, are you checking up on me?”
Jing Yao was speechless.
Liang Xun’s skin was more than 10 times thicker than the city wall.
“Just tell me if you went back to the hotel.”
Her coy voice clearly sounded exasperated.
Liang Xun knew when to stop. His voice returned to normal. “No, I’m still at the dinner party.”
It hasn’t ended after so long?
Liang Xun had attended dinner parties in the past, but it usually ended very quickly. With his status, no one could force him to drink and socialize if he was really unwilling.
“Um, are there women at the dinner?” Jing Yao’s voice was much softer. If Liang Xun wasn’t focused enough, he probably wouldn’t have heard what she was saying.
Liang Xun chuckled. Jing Yao, who was probing carefully, was too cute.
He cleared his throat and muttered, “Yes, there are two.”
Jing Yao’s expression froze.
Not only were there women, but at least two?
“Are they pretty?” Jing Yao asked again.
The corners of Liang Xun’s mouth curled up even more as he continued to tease her seriously. “1 don’t know. 1 didn’t notice. 1 only know that they are not young. After all, she’s a municipal leader and has a lot of experience. Perhaps they were quite good-looking when they were young?”
“Huh?” Jing Yao was stunned for a moment before she realized that Liang Xun was teasing her.
“Don’t drink too much. Go back early. Goodbye.” Jing Yao quickly said this and hung up without giving Liang Xun time to react.
Liang Xun was in a rare daze. When he came back to his senses, he was amused and helpless.
Inevitably, Jing Yao’s current state appeared in his mind. She must be embarrassed and angry now.
Liang Xun felt his drunkenness surge crazily, causing him to feel a little hot from the inside out.
He was not in a hurry to go back. Instead, he stood by the window and enjoyed the cold wind for a few more minutes. He only walked back to the private room when the heat on his body dissipated a little.
He had just entered when everyone in the private room looked over.
Especially Zhang Jing and his brother. They sized him up very seriously, as if they wanted to accurately capture the slightest change in his expression. They wanted to use this to see what he had said on the phone just now.
To be precise, they wanted to know what Jing Yao said.
Not long after this meal started, Liang Xun sensed that they valued Jing Yao so much that they didn’t want to miss any information about Jing Yao.
Liang Xun saw their expressions and made a decision.
If they didn’t get Zhang Li involved and just treated Jing Yao well, he wouldn’t mind acknowledging them as relatives.
Zhang Ji couldn’t tell anything from Liang Xun’s face. He felt inexplicably indignant and raised his wine glass at Liang Xun again.
Liang Xun raised his eyebrows slightly. It was not easy to reject him just now because he was an elder, but it was different now.
He said to Zhang Ji apologetically, “I’m sorry, Chairman Zhang. I really can’t drink anymore this time. My family called to check on me just now and specifically instructed me not to drink anymore.”
Liang Xun’s tone was calm. Others thought nothing of it, but Zhang Ji inexplicably heard a hint of bragging.
Zhang Ji’s expression twisted for a moment. He said stiffly, “Is that so? Forget it. A man should still prioritize his family.”
Liang Xun raised his eyebrows. He knew that Zhang Ji had said that on purpose, but he agreed. Hence, he nodded and said, “Yes, Chairman Zhang is right..”
