Chapter 229: A Drunk Man Is Really Annoying

Mu Lan was stunned, feeling the warmth of Huo Tingxiao's palm passing through her wrist and that deep voice carrying a hint of... coquetry? Was it coquetry? She wasn't sure… the tone.

Looking up, she saw Huo Tingxiao gazing at her intently, and He Yan decided it was best for him to leave the situation.

"Madam, I'll leave Mr. Huo to you."

"I..."

What answered her was the sound of the door opening and then closing.

"Are you angry?"

Huo Tingxiao started tentatively.

Releasing another wave of alcohol fumes, Mu Lan looked at him helplessly.

"No."

Huo Tingxiao grabbed her hand, his grip growing firmer.

"I won't drink again."

His voice softened even more, sounding like he was trying to ingratiate himself with her.

Mu Lan frowned, unable to handle him this way.

"Huo Tingxiao, you really don't have to grovel like this with me, what's the point?"

Trying to withdraw her hand, but Huo Tingxiao's grip was so tight, she couldn't break free.
