Wan Qing noticed the man beside her beginning to stir, and immediately tears welled up in her eyes. She tried to stifle her sobs as she saw the man was about to wake.
Chen Qian was just coming to when he heard choked sobs in his arms. He woke with a start to find himself holding a woman tightly. Upon closer look, he realized it was the stunningly beautiful Wan Qing, Xiaomei's sister, who was sobbing quietly in his arms.
Chen Qian was stunned. He closed his eyes and forced himself to think. Gradually, he recalled he had had some drinks last night, and then....
Chen Qian took a deep breath to calm himself before again looking at Wan Qing and holding her closer.
"I'm sorry. I will take responsibility. I'll make a respectable woman of you. Please, don't cry, alright?" Chen Qian said gently. This was tenderness he had never shown Xiaomei, but now offered to Wan Qing. His heart was involuntarily drawn to the soft, delicate woman in his arms.
