It was Anna.
She seemed drunk and kept calling Lou Yuming's name.
Suddenly, a man's flirtatious voice came from the other side.
"Beautiful lady, all alone? Come over and have a drink with me!"
"Who do you think you are? Let go! I told you to let go!"
There was danger. Song Xi, in her haste, blurted out, "Miss Anna, are you alright!"
With a "bang," the sound of a bottle breaking rang out from the other side, followed by a deathly silence.
After a long time, Anna spoke dazedly, "...It wasn't Yuming?"
Song Xi was at a loss and wanted to explain, but the other party hung up the phone. When she called back, it was already turned off.
There was nothing she could do but contact Shao Cheng.
Shao Cheng was on the night shift at the time. He was somewhat surprised to hear Song Xi's urgent rambling.
In a sense, they were love rivals. If it were Anna, she would not only add insult to injury but also fan the flames.
But Song Xi calling him was truly foolish.
He responded calmly, leisurely taking off his white coat. "Where is Yuming?"
"He has a cold."
No wonder he used his phone.
Finally, Song Xi said nervously, "Dr. Shao, if you find Miss Anna, could you please... explain to her."
"Explain what?" Shao Cheng scoffed, "Her relationship with Yuming is not as legitimate as yours. Instead of worrying about others, you'd better take good care of Yuming. He rarely gets sick. Serve him well."
Song Xi was stunned for a moment, "...Okay."
By the time Shao Cheng arrived at the bar, the situation had already been resolved.
He had said it before, his sister was not a simpleton.
The scene was chaotic, with bloodstains on the ground.
A group of people stood downstairs. Upon seeing Shao Cheng, they all shouted in unison, "Young Master."
Shao Cheng frowned, recognizing them as bodyguards hired by the Shao family. She actually dared to use the Shao family's influence! Displeasure immediately appeared on his face.
Walking upstairs, Anna sat on the sofa, dressed in a vibrant red dress, with colorful lights shining on her head, like a seductive, deadly femme fatale.
Shao Cheng kicked the man at his feet, who was beaten beyond recognition, and said coldly, "Do things with discretion. Otherwise, you'll bring shame to the Shao family."
Anna looked up, her eyes completely sober, "Brother, they bullied me first."
Shao Cheng snorted, "Don't think I don't know what mischief you're up to again. You put on this act just to lure Yuming here. You didn't trick him, but you got stimulated yourself. How do you feel, satisfied?"
Seeing through her act, Anna's expression changed.
Shao Cheng sat on the sofa and said in a low voice, "I advise you not to waste your efforts. You and him are impossible."
"On what grounds!" Anna was instantly enraged, "I understand him better than anyone, but he'd rather have an affair with his nephew's girlfriend than look at me! On what grounds!"
"Understand him better than anyone?" Shao Cheng sneered, "Overestimating yourself. Besides her, no one in this world understands Lou Yuming."
A murderous intent appeared in Anna's eyes, "You mean Song Xi?"
"Does she qualify?" Shao Cheng slowly stood up, "Clean it up. From now on, stop causing trouble outside under the Shao family's name, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Anna glared resentfully at his retreating back, her lips bitten so white they ached.
If it wasn't Song Xi, then who else could it be?
...
Song Xi didn't sleep all night.
At six o'clock in the morning, she received a text message from Shao Cheng, learning that Anna was unharmed. She breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at Lou Yuming, who was still sleeping, she turned to the bathroom to take a shower, then went out to buy breakfast.
She could skip sleep, but she couldn't skip breakfast.
Song Xi bought two bowls of congee and eggs. Lou Yuming was still recovering, so he couldn't eat anything too greasy.
After everything was ready, she was about to wake him up, but surprisingly, he woke up on his own.
