Lu Zuan nodded and spoke, looking worriedly at Xuan, "I'll go with you."
"You can come if you want. But could you please make sure Weiwei and Shaoyan get back first? I'll order a cab." Wei Jingyu spoke, shifting Xuan's weight on one of his arms and whipping out his phone with the other.
Zuan still looked at the drunk Ying Xuan worriedly, who smiled and snuggled closer into Jingyu's arms.
Wei Jingyu smiled and said, "You still don't trust me enough to entrust her to me? I promise. I'll not take advantage of Xuan."
Lu Zuan shook her head and chuckled, "Seeing her behaviour, I'm worried about her taking advantage of you."
Wei Jingyu: "...."
Lu Zuan: "But you're a strong guy. I'm sure you'll be able to save your purity."
Wei Jingyu: "...."
Zuan laughed upon seeing Jingyu's speechless expression and walked over to the sleeping Shi Weiwei. She woke up Weiwei, and was pulling up a half awake Weiwei when Mo Kio came over.
He began to help Zuan, but instantly withdrew from the cold look she gave him.
"I'm just trying to help." Mo Kio said, "We're anyway going back to the same place."
"Go help Shaoyan. He's in no shape to walk by himself too." Lu Zuan said in her emotionless voice, which she usually assumed when talking to Mo Kio.
Once the four of them were comfortably settled in the cab, Mo Kio in the front with the driver and the rest in the back, they drove off.
Kio watched in the rearview mirror as Lu Zuan tucked the stray strands of hair behind Shi Weiwei's hair with a motherly look on her face.
"Why? Why won't you approve of me Zuan?" Mo Kio asked in a small voice.
Getting no reply, he was sure Lu Zuan hadn't heard and was getting ready to get all sulky when Lu Zuan's clear voice rung through the car, "Because I don't want Weiwei to get her heart broken?"
Mo Kio turned around in his seat with a speed that was almost inhuman as he spoke, "I would never ever bear to hurt Weiwei."
Lu Zuan rolled her eyes and replied, "Please. I know all about second generation rich guys like you. You all are only interested in things you can't have. And once you do have them, you throw them away like garbage."
"Why do you approve of Jingyu pursuing Xuan then?" Kio asked with a pouty face.
Zuan's eyes turned unreadable as she said, "He's different. He really loves Xuan."
Mo Kio was a bit taken aback by Zuan's face and words. He couldn't believe it was the ice queen sitting in front of him, a name he had taken the privilege of giving Lu Zuan.
As she said this, Zuan's mind travelled back to a few months ago.
Her heart ached as she remembered Wei Jingyu's face when he had thought Xuan was kissing Shen Jie.
Jingyu had looked just a shell back then, an outer covering. It looked like the life had been squeezed out of him.
Lu Zuan hadn't approved of Wei Jingyu before that day. She thought him too arrogant and quick-tempered to deserve Ying Xuan.
