Chapter 192.2
Editor: Jodi
Xiao Lin pulled Lin An Lan by the hand towards his room but didn’t stop at his own door. Instead, he headed into the room they had prepared for the new child who was about to arrive.
“Is this big brother’s room?”
“En.” Lin An Lan confirmed. “It’s right next to yours, so you can come play with your big brother anytime.”
“Then I’m going to bring two more toy cars for big brother.”
He let go of Lin An Lan’s hand the moment he finished saying this, then ran out of the room. A moment later, he returned with two toy cars, both of which he placed on the bed.
“Will big brother like them?”
“He’ll love them.” Lin An Lan caressed his little head. “These are all baby’s treasures, so big brother will definitely like them, and not only will he like them, he’ll like baby too.”
Happy, Xiao Lin smiled at him sweetly.
Meanwhile, after several rounds of drinks, Cheng Yu’s dinner was coming to an end. He’d wanted to go home for a long time, and now, he was almost free.
Just as he was thinking this, he received a message from Lin An Lan: [Almost done?]
[Almost.]
Cheng Yu replied: [Another half hour and I should be done. I’ll be home in about an hour.]
Lin An Lan: [Okay.]
Seeing his message, Cheng Yu became even more anxious to leave.
The other party’s boss was still trying to get him to drink more, however he refused, “No more for me, or I’ll get drunk.”
“That’s okay.”
“But then I won’t be able to enter the house.” Cheng Yu told him.
His words made the director who was sitting next to him laugh.
“President Xu, you might not know this, but our President Cheng’s life motto is, ‘The signing of contracts can be skipped, but the door of the house can’t be left unentered.’, so you won’t be able to convince him.”
The table burst into laughter.
“I’ve heard before that President Cheng is famously devoted to his lover, and now I see that it’s really true.”
“That’s why I’ll be heading out soon.” Cheng Yu said smoothly.
“This is really a case of ‘one’s heart is set on speeding home’.” President Xu laughed. “Then why didn’t you bring Mr. Lin with you tonight? I saw his latest movie recently and was hoping to chat with him.”
“He’s busy and rarely gets time off, so I wanted him to rest a little longer.” Ching Yu said lightly.
“President Cheng really spoils his wife. Alright then, I won’t make you drink more. Otherwise if you really get drunk and aren’t able to enter the house, it’ll be my fault.”
“Thank you, President Xu.”
Then after chatting for a little while longer, the group finally stood up to leave.

Cheng Yu and his assistant took the elevator down to the underground parking garage. “I’m off tomorrow, so if anything comes up, just send me a message.”
“Got it.”
As they were walking, a loud car horn suddenly blared. Then moment later, headlights shone directly at them.
Cheng Yu squinted toward the light and was surprised to find that it was Lin An Lan’s car.
“Tell the driver to take you home.” He told his assistant.
Then after saying this, he walked towards Lin An Lan’s car.
“What are you doing here?” He opened the passenger door and got in, surprised. “Weren’t you at home?”
Lin An Lan looked at him with a smile, “I was worried you’d get drunk, so I came to pick you up.”
Cheng Yu’s face immediately lit up with a smile, and he couldn’t help but remember the time when they had just gotten married.
Back then, Xu Sheng’s girlfriend finally agreed to his proposal, so he had invited them out for drinks excitedly. And it just so happened that Lin An Lan had been out of town for a business event, so not holding back, he had ended up drinking way too much.
Cheng Yu wasn’t a troublesome drunk. He didn’t vomit or make a scene—he just became very lazy.
Hua Rong had helped him and Xu Sheng out of the bar, planning to take them to a hotel to sleep it off, but he had waved him off, saying he didn’t want to go to a hotel, he wanted to go home.
“How are you going to get home like this?” Hua Rong had been helpless. “I’ve been drinking too, so I can’t drive you.”
“I’ll call An An to pick me up.” Cheng Yu had said in a daze.
Hua Rong had tried to reason with him, “Lin An Lan is busy, and he’s not at home, so don’t cause trouble for him.”
But Cheng Yu just grunted, and not listening to him at all, pulled out his phone and called Lin An Lan, his voice sticky and soft, “I’m drunk. Can you come and get me?”
Lin An Lan, who had just rushed to finish his event so he could go home and was now just getting off the plane was surprised when he received his call, “You’re drunk?”
“En.”
“Where are you?”
“At Wild Grass.”
“Do you still know who I am?”
Confused as to why he was suddenly asking this, Cheng Yu had replied sleepily, “An An.”
Lin An Lan chuckled, “It seems you’re not too drunk. I’m coming over now, wait for me.”
“En.”
Then after hanging up, he had said smugly to Hua Rong, “He said he’s coming to pick me up.”
“Doesn’t he have an event today?”
“Oh, right.” He had tried to think through his hazy mind. “Maybe he’s done already.”
He didn’t leave, instead sinking back into the sofa to wait for Lin An Lan.
Seeing this, Hua Rong had had no choice but to stay with him, pulling Xu Sheng, who was so drunk that he was almost falling asleep along.
“Do you think I should call Xu Sheng’s girlfriend to pick him up?” Hua Rong had asked him, but quickly answered his own question, “Forget it, if she sees him like this, she might break up with him.”
“No breaking up!” Xu Sheng woke up immediately, “No breaking up!”
“Okay, okay, no breaking up. Just rest.” And Hua Rong coaxed him helplessly.
Even drunk, he was still worried about breaking up!
Only then did Xu Sheng closed his eyes again, drifting back into his half-asleep state.
After a while, Lin An Lan finally arrived at the club and walked straight up to Cheng Yu.
When Cheng Yu saw him, he stood up and hugged him immediately, whining like a spoiled child, “So slow.”
“I got here as fast as I could. It’s a long way from the airport.”
But Cheng Yu wasn’t listening, clinging to him tightly, feeling that no matter what, he’d been too slow.
Lin An Lan didn’t bother trying to reason with a drunk person and simply said to Hua Rong, “I’ll take him home now.”
“Go on, go on, I’ll come with you. I still need to sort Xu Sheng out.”
“How about I drop him off on the way?”
“No need.” Hua Rong waved it off. “Just take Cheng Yu home. It’s late. I’ll take Xu Sheng to a hotel and crash there. There’s no need to trouble you.”
“Alright.”
Lin An Lan helped Cheng Yu out the door.
Then after getting him into the car, he let him lean against his shoulder, then told the driver, “Let’s go.”
