The bar, a revelry as if the world was ending.

"Life's too short, my friends; we shall not cease from drinking until we're steeped in booze. To the east, my beauty, oh, to the west, the Yellow River flows..."

Xia Yuxun was holding a bottle, humming tunelessly while staggering through the dance floor, completely unaware that a man was stealthily inching closer to her.

Because she had drunk too much, her steps were unsteady. A misstep in her high heels made her instinctively reach out to steady herself on the man's hand.

The moment he felt her touch, the man was ecstatic, but before he could take advantage of the situation, he was suddenly hauled away by two burly bodyguards dressed in black, disappearing into the crowd without a chance to resist...

Drowsy and confused, Xia Yuxun blinked as she watched this unexpected turn of events unfold, a puzzled expression crossing her face.

Where's the handrail? There was a handrail here just now, wasn't there?

Without the support she'd lost, she staggered once more.

A few steps away, Ou Mingxuan waved off the bodyguards, signaling them to throw the man far away, then turned back incredulously to look at the woman in front of him, who was dressed too scantily, too boldly, too avant-garde.

What the hell!

Was this really the same Xia Yuxun who always wore black-framed glasses, T-shirts and jeans, and ponytails, with a lollipop in her mouth?

After a brief moment of stunned admiration, his brows furrowed.

He only wanted to get rid of that man for her, but in the end, he couldn't stand it and stepped forward, steadying her just as she was about to fall.

Xia Yuxun swayed as she looked at the man who had suddenly appeared, her eyes lighting up, sparkling, "Hey, handsome~ you're much more dashing than that handrail just now~"

"Xia Yuxun! Do you have any idea what you're doing? Even madness has its limits!" Hearing her nonsensical talk, Ou Mingxuan's forehead bulged with veins.

"Uh... Stop yelling! My head is killing me!" Xia Yuxun complained drunkenly, swaying. "Hey, why are there two beauties now..."

"Xia Yuxun! You better sober up, I..." Before he could finish speaking, he was slapped in his handsome face by that wild girl.

"Handsome, why are you so naggy..."

Ou Mingxuan's face darkened as if it were the bottom of a pot.

Damn woman!

Xia Yuxun clung to his shoulders, still yelling like a bandit leader, "Being the wife of bandit chief has its perks, I assure you. You'll get to eat well and drink fiery spirits with me, as long as you stop nagging..."

Ou Mingxuan's lips twitched as he felt a headache coming.

She truly had lost her mind!

Wasn't she the most open-minded of all?

Didn't she care about nothing at all?

Why was she now so disgracefully forlorn and wretched?

Was it really worth it for that bastard, just because he was her childhood sweetheart?

After graduating from college, she even gave up her passion for travel management to become his personal bodyguard.

Hearing news of his engagement, the bold and carefree Xia had actually become sentimental and melancholic, almost to the point of imitating Lin Daiyu burying the flowers in sorrow.

Her mind was elsewhere, so much that it didn't teach her a lesson when she almost lost her life under the thug's gun while protecting that bastard, and now it was even worse. She actually dragged her weak body out to get drunk in the middle of the night!

As angry as he was, he eventually resigned himself to carrying her out. Since he didn't know her address, he had to take her to a nearby hotel.

After a lot of hassle, he finally dumped her on the bed. Ou Mingxuan took off his coat, violently tugged at his tie a few times, and sat down on the opposite sofa to light a cigarette, his expression dark.

"Where's my drink? My drink! Bring me my drink!" Xia Yuxun called out, delirious with alcohol.

Ou Mingxuan's lips twitched slightly and he rubbed his forehead in speechless frustration. He really had saved a little tyrant...
