Chapter 20 - Contradicting

Tyler was at a loss. How does one deal with a naughty drunk girl? If he let her keep playing around, he might do something regrettable. Even if he liked a girl, there's no way he would take advantage of her when she was drunk.

He pushed her off him, got off the bed and literally dragged her into the bathroom and let cold water pour on her from the shower head. The girl was shocked by the sudden cold water and tried to run away but Tyler held her firmly. Her hair and clothes were already soaked and clinging onto her body. Her white top, now extremely see-through, did nothing to protect her modesty. Tyler forced himself not to look at her body or he might not be able to control himself.

When she was sober enough to wash herself, Tyler left and went to take a shower himself.

After a cold shower, Yun Xuan was now completely sober. She recalled the things she had just done in embarassment.

Since when was she such a roudy drunk? Wasn't her alcohol tolerance quite high?Most importantly, what would Tyler think of her now?

She really wished she could shrink into a tiny molecule that could fit into the drain.

No matter how much she wanted to hide, she still had to face reality.

She nervously opened the bathroom door and as expected, Tyler was waiting in her room. His face was devoid of any expression, he just sat on the dressing table and waited for her to sit on the bed before talking to her.

"Let's forget about what just happened."

Huh? Forget? She was let off the hook just like that? Her adonis was the best!

"Since it's already late at night, you can stay here and I'll take you home in the morning."

Yun Xuan nodded in embarassment.

"Then goodnight. If you need anything, you know my room."

"Goodnight."

Yun Xuan suddenly thought of something and felt her face blushed even more. He only said she could find him if she needed something. Why did she have such dirty thoughts? Simply because he mentioned his room?

When Tyler went to his room, she quickly took out her phone and lay on her stomach with her beautiful legs crosed at the ankles in the air. She was reading through some entertainment gossip when a text was sent over.

Gossip mode activated.

[Little Wan: Let me guess, you're neither going home nor coming back here]

[Xuan: Idiot! Shouldn't you be asleep? It's 1am already!]

[Little Wan: How's sleep more important than my dear Xuanxuan's gossip?]

[Xuan: Sigh, What should I do about you]

[Little Wan: Tell me, tell me! Did you guys do it? How was it?]

[Xuan: You're the one who did it!!!!! I'm not talking to you anymore.]

After that, Yun Xuan really went offline.

Wan Jia put her phone aside and took a deep breath. Turned out Yun Xuan wasn't the only one having a complicated night.

Wan Jia was thinking about her strategy. Although she knew an experienced lawyer through a former campus classmate, going against Lu Aotian by using the law to fight for Little Jia's custody wasn't going to be easy. She hadn't even made the first step yet. This was totally a case of a novice fighting a master.

She hadn't even gained any power yet whereas Lu Aotian held immense power and could easily manipulate the law without even having to lift a finger. She wanted to have a source of income that would guarantee Little Jia a decent lifestyle if she took her. With that and the connections she was trying to build recently, it might be a little more difficult for Lu Aotian to sway the court and her chances at getting Little Jia's custody would increase.

While working at Yun Xuan's studio when she was still pretending to be her, she had discovered her own talent in fashion design. Therefore, she studied fashion design and was planning to start her own studio when she got enough resources. That would be her first step.

However, her thoughts were slightly conflicted.

On one hand, she needed to accomplish the mission that brought her back to the capital: Take back her daughter and emigrate. On the other hand, Lu Aotian had apologized and he seemed like he would let her get close to her daughter if she wanted to. But the second option was a bad option. If she got close to her daughter, wouldn't she naturally get close to the father as well?The thought of getting back together with him made her scold herself thoroughly.

Actually, she didn't have anything against Lu Aotian. He was such a caring man and she in fact wished their circumstances were different. However, General Yun was starting to act against Lu Enterprise and she didn't wish for her daughter to be caught in between their feud. She knew that old man would stop at nothing to get whatever he wanted, even if it meant using a three year old as leverage.

The next morning

Yun Xuan woke up to find a package containing new clothes on the bedside table.

He had bought everything....including a bra and panty. Yun Xuan's face turned red.

Was this dude a stalker? How did he know so many things about her? He even got her bra size right!

Serves her right for liking a person whose job was basically investigation. What else would she expect?

She took a shower and went to the living room. Tyler was reading some documents on the sofa and looked up to smile at her charmingly. He had prepared breakfast for her.

Since he had to leave for work in two hours, Yun Xuan took breakfast quickly and Tyler drove her to Wan Jia's as she had some things to discuss with her friend.

The entire car ride was silent until they reached the gate and Tyler finally said what had been bothering him.

"I have two things to say to you."

"You can tell me anything." Yun Xuan tried hard to stop her heart from racing.

" Yun Xuan, I like you."

Yun Xuan's eyes grew wide.

Tyler, who had never confessed to a girl before, didn't know how to continue and just waited for her to respond.

One minute passed.

Two minutes.

Five minutes.

"I'll give you time to think about it. Oh, that brings me to the second thing. When I leave this time, I'll come back after one month. I saved my number on your phone last night. We can communicate online once in a while and you'll tell me your answer when I come back."

This indeed settled the huge problem. Yun Xuan was still not completely over what happened with Qin Zhifan. She had thought throughout her childhood that Qin Zhifan was the only man she could ever be with and was betrayed so badly.

Although she sort of liked Tyler, she felt it was too soon to conclude that she indeed liked him to the point of wanting to be in a relationship with him.

Tyler of course understood this and was not going to rush her either.
