"If you want to cry, just cry!" Inside the car, Dong Shan Zhong looked at Xinran, who was curled up beside him. She was clearly trembling all over, yet she pretended to be strong. Even now, she maintained a stiff expression, unwilling to show any sign of weakness. Her stubbornness was truly infuriating.
"Why should I cry?" Xinran turned her head from looking out the window to face Dong Shan Zhong and asked calmly.
"Here, you can lean on me as much as you want." He pointed to his shoulder.
"Can you tell me why your people arrived so promptly?" Xinran smiled lightly. He thought too highly of her fragility; she was not the kind of woman who would cry on a man's shoulder just because she had almost been violated. Even if she cried, it would be in solitude.
"My people have been secretly protecting you. I thought it was just a precaution, but I didn't expect something would actually happen. They still arrived late and scared you!"
"No, actually I don't know how to thank you and your subordinates. Without them, my consequences... heh, tonight is truly something I don't want to look back on!" Xinran forced herself to stop there; she did not want to recall what had happened tonight.
"If you want to get drunk, I'll accompany you tonight and help you forget everything you want to forget!"
"You are so kind; knowing you is the luckiest thing in my life..." After saying this, Xinran quietly gazed at Dong Shan Zhong's exceptionally handsome profile, falling silent.
"We've arrived!" The car stopped. Dong Shan Zhong did not wait for his subordinate to open the door for him; he got out first and walked around to the other side of the car, lifting Xinran out as if he were carrying her into the car again.
Xinran knew this man's stubbornness, so even though she felt dirty, she said nothing. She raised her head and surveyed her surroundings. This was a seaside villa, and due to its coastal location, the scenery was stunning; even at night, its beauty could not be concealed. The villa's architecture was inspired by European castles. If it were daytime, wandering under the blue sky and white clouds while breathing in the fresh sea breeze would surely be a delightful experience...
Xinran had always known that Dong Shan Zhong was a noble prince but never expected that a prince would actually live in a castle!
"Is this... your home?" she asked hesitantly.
"How does it feel?" Dong Shan Zhong did not overlook the surprise in Xinran's eyes when she first saw this place. She really liked it, so bringing her back to his property tonight was the right choice.
"It's beautiful, you surprised me!"
"I just want to make you happy. Trust me, when you wake up tomorrow morning after the wine, you'll fall in love with the scenery here," Dong Shan Zhong said with a smile.
"I already love it here..." What Xinran didn't say was that even if she fell in love, this place did not belong to her. No matter how beautiful it was, she was just a passerby. "Can the wine here get me drunk?"
"There’s a wine cellar here. If you want, you can indulge yourself in tasting as much as you like!"
Dong Shan Zhong carried Xinran into the villa. She had expected it to be like a real castle with servants everywhere, all waiting at the door for their master to enter, but to her surprise, there wasn't a single person around...
After placing her on the cream-colored sofa, Dong Shan Zhong walked over to the wine cabinet and took out a bottle of excellent vintage red wine along with a pair of goblets. Xinran quietly watched as he returned to the sofa, sat down, opened the wine, poured it into the glasses, and handed one to her. All his movements were so elegant and noble, beautiful like a scene from a movie.
Xinran took the red wine. At that moment, she had no intention of savoring its rich flavor. She tilted her head back and drank all the wine in her glass. Then she filled it again and drank it down repeatedly until the bottle was nearly empty...
Dong Shan Zhong did not stop Xinran from drinking heavily; he knew she was feeling down. Since she thought getting drunk would help her feel better, he let her be!
"Cough cough... This wine is really good... I... I want to take a bath..." She stood up somewhat dazedly, feeling hot all over, and tugged at Dong Shan Zhong's suit jacket while murmuring.
"Alright, let's go take a bath." He looked at the slightly intoxicated woman in front of him and gently took her hand to lead her toward the bathroom on the second floor.
