Chapter 711 Don“t want to go home

Watching the people from Red Moon scurry away with their tails between their legs, Gui Zhongmin heaves a sigh and shook his head.

"And I thought they I would be able to use my fists again."

He sighs again and thinking about something, he turns his head to look at Liu Shan.

"Does this mean Mad Reaper is back?"

His question made Qi Li, Gui Tian Lan, and Tang Zhonghui turn to look at the assistant. No one said a word, but their expression held curiosity.

Liu Shan's eyes stared in the direction Tao Meng and his men had gone. He heard the question, but his mind was replaying the look Ling Ni had shown him. It was full of guilt and regret.

However, he brushes her face away from his mind and turns around.

He doesn't answer the question and strides to the table his boss was sitting in.

"Boss."

Coming to a stop at the side of her table, he doesn't sit down but remains standing.

"Tao Meng and his men have left."

Yue Ling nods her head lightly in understanding. She reaches for the bottle of liquor and pours herself another drink.

"Boss."

Before she could even take a sip, Liu Shan snatch the cup out of her hand. He set the cup down and moves the bottle of liquor to the opposite end of the table.

"Stop drinking. You are drunk."

He sighs his words in his usual tone, but everyone heard him loud and clear. The incident that had just taken place was thrown aside and everyone turns to look at Yue Ling.

Seeing the redness on her cheeks, the look of fear appears on each person's face.

It was as if they tough and strong appearance they had seconds ago was never there.

"Boss, I have to get up early tomorrow. I'll be on my way now."

"Me too. I have to meet a client tomorrow."

"Boss, my dog called me. I must go home and feed him."

Quickly as the fear appeared on their faces, all the alcohol everyone had consumed into their system disappears. In one swift motion, each person grabs their belongings and scattered away as their life depended on it.

The only ones left were Yue Ling, Liu Shan, Uncle Nuo, and the Alpha Team.

Ju Suo was dumbfounded by the scene that had unfolded. She slams her palms on her the table and stood up from her seat.

"Ya!! How dare you jerks leave!!"

She stumbles to stand on her chair and points with her trembling finger in the direction everyone had gone.

"Don't let me see you tomorrow! If I see any of you, you will see my fist!!"

*Click *Crash—

Just as her threatening words fell, the chair she was standing on breaks, and her tiny figure falls onto the ground with her bottom being her cushion.

She was baffled by this and blinked her eyes in silence. However, in the next second, her head drops down and she passes out while sitting.

Lian Ni Shang stares at the woman and chuckles as she walks over. Shaking Ju Suo by the shoulder, she sighs and shook her head.

"Ju Suo ah Ju Suo. If your Jiangyu was here, how will he react?"

Seeing this, Liu Shan frowns in frustration. He massages his forehead then looks at Lian Ni Shang and Shan Sinan.

"She's too drunk to drive. Send her home."

He looks away from the couple to Qi Li, Tang Zhonghui, Gui Tian Lan, and Gui Zhongmin. The four men had been drinking, but he knows that they were not drunk as their tolerance for alcohol was high.

"Help Uncle Nuo close up. I'll send boss home."

Given an order from the assistant, no one objected and proceed with their task. Liu Shan sighs again and looks at his boss.

"Let's go. If I don't get you home soon, I will end up as a missing person."

His hand reaches to help Yue Ling stand up, but she dodges him and shook her head with a pouting face.

"I don't want to go home."

"…"

Liu Shan stares down at her in disbelief. Wasn't she fine a minute ago? Why does she look like an angry child who didn't get to buy her favorite toy now?

However, when realization kicked his brain, he scratches the side of his head.

"Aish… If I knew you were going to end up like this, I should have stopped you from drinking so much."

She was never the type to drink, but once she does, she turns into a stubborn child. This was also the reason why everyone didn't hesitate to sober up and leave.

No one dares to stay behind because she will force everyone to do something that keeps them all night.

He grabs hold of her hand and pulls her up from the chair, but she the second she stood up, she moves away from him.

"I want to count the stars."

"…"

Liu Shan scoffs a sarcastic chuckle and didn't know what to do anymore. Every time she drinks, this was the only thing she wants to do. It drove everyone including him crazy because she would make them stay up all night until sunrise just to count the stars.

He never understood this side of her but as her assistant, he put up with it because he knew this was something important for her.

"How about I take you home and you count the stars there?"

Yue Ling stares doubtfully at him and shook her head no. Her cheeks puff out like a chipmunk with her arms swaying at her side.

"I want to count the stars here."

Liu Shan creases his brows together. He could only cry inside and question where his perfect boss went to. How did things come to this?

Who can help him?

Just as he thought the question, a certain person comes to his mind. His eyes lit up brightly and he smiles at Yue Ling like a sweet father trying to calm his precious daughter.

"Yue Ling, how about I take you somewhere to count the stars?"

Staring at him, Yue Ling presses her lips together with doubt. Thinking about his words, she purses her lower lip.

"I can count all the stars there?"

Liu Shan grins with his eyes closed and nodded his head.

"It is a beautiful castle, just like the ones in a fairytale. When we get there, you can count all the stars you want."

Hearing his exaggerating words, Yue Ling gasps with brightly lit eyes.

"A beautiful castle?"

Liu Shan nods his head and the light in her eyes shone brighter.

"And I can count all the stars I want?"

Seeing this childish side of her, Liu Shan couldn't help but sigh inside. She always put on a strong appearance but deep inside she was still a child. After all, she never got to live the life of a normal child.

He stretches his palm out to her and smiles softly to her.

"Do you want to go to the castle?"

Yue Ling didn't doubt him anymore and takes his hand. In her drunken state of mind, all she could think about was the castle Liu Shan had mention.

As he guides her away in the direction of his parked car, Liu Shan couldn't help but pray inside.

'Dear Buddha, please watch over me. Please don't let the King of Jealousy break my neck. I am only holding my boss's hand because she is drunk, and I am trying to get her home to him.'
