"Sure! It's a perfect day for a drink."
Gu Sisi and Xiaotao found a bar with a nice atmosphere and sat down to start drinking.
Gu Sisi really wanted to get herself drunk. However, considering her miserable experiences of getting drunk several times and the fact that she still had to go home to see her baby, she drank with caution, keeping in mind her alcohol tolerance.
Xiaotao, on the other hand, downed one glass after another. At first, she sipped slowly, but later, she drank faster and faster. Before Gu Sisi could react, Xiaotao had already had quite a lot.
If she kept drinking like this, Gu Sisi thought, Xiaotao would get drunk soon.
Sure enough, after just half an hour, Xiaotao was sitting crookedly. But she still kept bringing the glass to her mouth. Gu Sisi couldn't stop her.
Gu Sisi snatched the glass from Xiaotao's hand. She couldn't let Xiaotao drink like this anymore. The girl was already drunk.
"Let me drink. I'm not drunk. I'm not..."
Xiaotao struggled to grab the glass from Gu Sisi's hand. When she failed, she reached for the bottles on the table.
She picked up the bottles one by one and shook them. Only then did she find that they were all empty. Then she staggered to her feet and was about to go to the bar to get more drinks.
Before Gu Sisi could blink, Xiaotao had already walked away. Just as she was about to rush over and bring Xiaotao back, several men suddenly surrounded her after she took a few steps.
"Beauty, come on. Have a drink with me."
"Don't go. You're not giving me face."
One of them grabbed Gu Sisi's arm tightly, while another brought a glass to her lips.
Under the restraint of these big men, Gu Sisi couldn't break free at all. She could only watch helplessly as Xiaotao got farther and farther away from her.
"Let go of me. I don't know you!" Gu Sisi struggled desperately.
But since these men had blocked Gu Sisi, they were all drunkards. How could they let her go so easily?
Gu Sisi struggled for a while and almost got forced to drink. Just when she didn't know what to do,
Suddenly, a hand reached out and intercepted the glass that was about to touch Gu Sisi's lips. Then the glass was smashed onto the man's head.
"Where did this stinky brat come from? Ruining my good deed!" The man, whose head was suddenly splashed with alcohol, got angry immediately.
However, Huo Cheng ignored him. With his other hand, he grabbed the arm that was holding Gu Sisi and twisted it hard.
"Ouch, it hurts. Let go, let go."
As the man cried out in pain, he also let go of Gu Sisi. Huo Cheng stretched out his long arm and pulled Gu Sisi into his arms.
Gu Sisi, still in shock, didn't even think about pushing Huo Cheng away at that moment. She was just glad that it was Huo Cheng who had come.
Those men still wanted to step forward, relying on their numbers. But they were quickly subdued by the people Huo Cheng had brought.
Suddenly, Gu Sisi realized that Xiaotao was missing!
She quickly broke free from Huo Cheng's embrace and wanted to go find Xiaotao as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, a hand grabbed her wrist, preventing her from moving.
Gu Sisi was extremely anxious. "Let go of me. Hurry up!" She said while trying hard to push Huo Cheng's hand away.
"Sisi, don't go. Are you still angry with me?"
"Let go quickly. My friend is missing. I have to find her." Gu Sisi was almost dying of anxiety. How could Huo Cheng still be talking about whether she was angry or not at this moment?
Hearing Gu Sisi's words, Huo Cheng suddenly felt a bit embarrassed. He had thought that Gu Sisi was trying to get away because she didn't want to see him or have any contact with him.
Although Gu Sisi did have that intention, finding Xiaotao was more important at this moment.
By this time, Xiaotao had disappeared. Gu Sisi looked around near the bar and then checked the restroom. She searched every place in the bar where Xiaotao might be, but there was no sign of her.
Huo Cheng also sent his people to search the bar and the surrounding area carefully. He himself followed his wife around. Wherever Gu Sisi went, he went.
Gu Sisi was so busy looking for someone that she didn't even notice Huo Cheng behind her, so she naturally didn't tell him to leave.
After searching for a long time, Gu Sisi still couldn't find Xiaotao. She called Xiaotao's phone, but there was no answer.
Helplessly, Gu Sisi dialed 110.
"It's you two again! Long time no see!"
Gu Sisi really wanted to cover her face. Sigh. They had been to the police station so many times before, and always together with Huo Cheng. The police station even recognized them.
Thinking of this, Gu Sisi glared at Huo Cheng. It was all his fault for following her. Otherwise, they wouldn't be in such an embarrassing situation now.
Huo Cheng saw Gu Sisi glaring at him. Instead, he reached out and pinched Gu Sisi's little hand. Gu Sisi tried several times but couldn't pull her hand out.
There was nothing she could do but glare at Huo Cheng with her eyes. Huo Cheng, on the other hand, looked at Gu Sisi innocently as if nothing had happened.
The police officer watched their little interaction and couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead. Could these two please consider that he was a single dog? The police officer felt like his heart had been hit by ten thousand points of damage.
"Um, Miss Gu, please come and make a statement with us."
Gu Sisi felt as if she had been granted amnesty. Finally, Huo Cheng had to let go of her now, right?
Unexpectedly, Gu Sisi still couldn't pull her hand away. She looked at Huo Cheng helplessly.
But she saw that Huo Cheng was staring directly at the police officer, with a chilling look in his eyes. The police officer, who had seen all kinds of situations, felt a shiver down his spine under Huo Cheng's stare.
"Since Mr. Huo was also there at that time, please come in and make a statement together."
After saying this, the police officer walked away quickly. Once again, it was just Huo Cheng and Gu Sisi alone.
"Then... let's go." Gu Sisi used all her strength and finally pulled her hand out.
Then she trotted in. She was running so fast as if there was some kind of fierce beast chasing her. She was trying her best to get away.
This time, Huo Cheng seemed extremely patient. Since they were both here, she couldn't run away. He hadn't seen Gu Sisi properly for several days. Either Gu Sisi was still asleep when he left, or she had already gone home when he was still working overtime.
Moreover, as soon as Gu Sisi got home, she would definitely go to the baby's room and stay there until it was time to go to bed at night. And she always went back when Huo Cheng was reading documents.
This left Huo Cheng with no chance to talk to Gu Sisi face - to - face. He could only use the spare key at home to open Gu Sisi's door and go in to see her sleeping soundly when he really missed her.
Even Huo Cheng himself thought he was so useless. Why was he just helpless when it came to Gu Sisi?
Sometimes, Huo Cheng really wanted to keep Gu Sisi by his side, not letting her go anywhere, not letting her work or go out. It would be so nice if she just stayed with him.
But then he thought of the tear - stained face in his memory. Gu Sisi was sitting alone on the bed, with her head buried in her knees. He didn't want to see Gu Sisi like that ever again.
The last time it was because he asked Gu Sisi to quit her job, and she was already like that. Gu Sisi wasn't a caged canary. If he made such a request, he was sure she wouldn't be happy.
