Chapter 62

Even with Ye Fan's astonishing willpower and control over his body, he was still a young, passionate man. Faced with Su Yuxin, who exuded sensuality, cold beauty, and shyness all at once, his lower body immediately reacted!

"Phew~"

Noticing the change in his lower body, Ye Fan took a deep breath, suppressing the surging hormones. Just as he was about to explain how drinking would affect Su Yuxin's condition, he heard footsteps outside the restroom.

This discovery made Ye Fan swallow his words and take a step back, changing his tone: "President Su, you've had too much. Drink less!"

Huh?

Seeing Ye Fan address her as President Su and deliberately take a step back, Su Yuxin, who was slightly drunk, was taken aback. Then, a thought struck her, and she turned her head to see Deputy Director Lin Zhiping approaching.

Since the banquet began, Lin Zhiping's attention had never left Su Yuxin. When he saw her go to the restroom with a flushed face, he wanted to follow but couldn't because Su Hongyuan was toasting. However, after Su Hongyuan finished his speech and toasting, Lin Zhiping noticed that Su Yuxin had entered the restroom, and Ye Fan had followed her!

This discovery made Lin Zhiping restless. He thought Ye Fan was trying to take advantage of Su Yuxin while she was drunk!

With this in mind, Lin Zhiping immediately headed for the restroom.

"Ye Fan, what did you do to Yuxin?"

Entering the restroom, Lin Zhiping saw Ye Fan and Su Yuxin standing face to face, very close to each other. He immediately stepped between them, glaring at Ye Fan with displeasure, as if ready to challenge him if Ye Fan admitted to any wrongdoing.

Ignoring Lin Zhiping, Ye Fan turned to wash his hands.

"Ye Fan, I'm telling you, don't think you can take advantage of Yuxin just because she's drunk..."

"Lin Zhiping, are you sick?"

This time, before Lin Zhiping could finish, Su Yuxin's drunkenness faded, and she coldly interrupted him. Lin Zhiping wasn't anyone special to her, so why should he meddle in her affairs?

Moreover, Lin Zhiping was lecturing Ye Fan, which Su Yuxin couldn't tolerate.

"Yuxin, you..."

"Lin Zhiping, I haven't settled the score with you for spreading rumors about President Ye. If you dare to say anything more, even if Uncle Lin intervenes, I'll make you pack your bags and leave!"

At this moment, Su Yuxin seemed like a different person. Her face, which had been flushed, now showed less redness, and her expression returned to its usual coldness.

"..."

Lin Zhiping opened his mouth but couldn't find words, watching helplessly as Ye Fan walked past him as if nothing had happened.

Su Yuxin gave Lin Zhiping a cold glare and followed Ye Fan.

"Damn!"

Seeing them leave, Lin Zhiping was so angry he almost spat blood, cursing under his breath.

However, he knew that with Ye Fan's current position as vice president and Su Hongyuan's favor, he had no capital to challenge Ye Fan. Otherwise, as Su Yuxin had said, even if his father intervened, he would still be kicked out of the company!

Back in the banquet hall, Su Yuxin timidly glanced at Ye Fan, as if seeking approval or apologizing. Without waiting for Ye Fan's response, she picked up her glass and continued toasting.

Seeing this, Ye Fan was speechless but understood Su Yuxin's dilemma. Ignoring her workaholic nature, she had already toasted the employees at other tables. If she didn't toast the remaining tables, it would make them think too much.

After toasting the remaining tables, Su Yuxin, feeling guilty, returned to her seat without looking at Ye Fan. Later, she used the excuse of feeling unwell to toast with juice instead of alcohol.

Only after doing this did she muster the courage to sneak a glance at Ye Fan. Seeing him looking back, she winked, as if to say, "I didn't drink."

Ye Fan couldn't help but smile.

At 9 PM, as Su Hongyuan and his group left, the celebration banquet was nearing its end. The employees went to KTV in groups to sing.

Due to Su Yuxin's cold personality, no one dared to invite her, but many invited Ye Fan, all of which he declined.

On one hand, he wasn't familiar with the employees, and it wouldn't be fun to go with them. On the other hand, he had an important task to do—take Su Yuxin home.

Although she had been drinking red wine, Su Yuxin had consumed a lot and was already seven or eight parts drunk. After leaving the hotel, she was almost leaning on Ye Fan, almost clinging to him.

Fortunately, most of the employees had already left when they did, so no one saw them.

Perhaps because of the alcohol, once in the car, Su Yuxin kicked off her high heels, revealing her delicate feet, and mumbled, "Doctor Ye, I'm really sorry, but I had to drink those last two glasses."

"I know, lie down and rest for a while."

As he spoke, Ye Fan helped Su Yuxin to the foldable seat at the back of the car, laid it down, and let her lie on it.

After doing this, Ye Fan was about to return to the driver's seat when he saw Su Yuxin's delicate feet and white ankles exposed in the air, causing his heart to skip a beat.

With his excellent self-control, Ye Fan quickly averted his gaze, returned to the driver's seat, and slowly started the car, driving away with Su Yuxin.

"Doctor Ye, can I ask you a question?" After the car entered the street, Su Yuxin, with a flushed face, looked at Ye Fan's profile and asked.

"Of course."

Ye Fan readily agreed, and through the rearview mirror, he saw Su Yuxin lying on the seat, propping her chin with one hand, her face flushed, looking like a beautiful drunk woman.

"Why did you laugh when I was speaking on stage? Did I say something wrong?"

As the saying goes, alcohol emboldens. At this moment, Su Yuxin, who was usually shy, felt no hesitation in asking.

"Uh..."

Hearing Su Yuxin's question, Ye Fan was taken aback, not knowing how to respond. After all, he couldn't tell her that he was imagining how the employees would react to seeing her shy side.

"Doctor Ye, just tell me the truth, I won't mind."

Seeing Ye Fan's silence, Su Yuxin became even more curious and slightly sat up. However, her arm accidentally pressed on her dress, pulling it down and exposing her chest and a corner of her black lace bra.

Seeing this through the rearview mirror, Ye Fan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly averted his gaze, adjusting his emotions, he said, "I was thinking that you look very different on stage compared to your usual self."

"Oh, I see..."

Su Yuxin understood and then, as if remembering something, sighed with a hint of sadness, "It's just a mask. Although I don't like it, to establish authority in the company and avoid unnecessary trouble, I have to wear it."

"I don't think women need to be so hard on themselves."

Ye Fan couldn't help but remind her. He knew that the "unnecessary trouble" Su Yuxin referred to was making people feel cold and distant, so that men with ulterior motives wouldn't approach her.

"Doctor Ye, you don't know. When my father was alive, my brother was always aimless and was suppressed by my uncle and scolded by my grandfather, making him very unhappy. To make my father happy, I secretly decided to study hard and help him after graduation."

Su Yuxin seemed lost in her memories, speaking softly, "Later, I finally graduated, but my father died in a car accident. After his death, my mother, brother, and I had no status at home and were suppressed and bullied by my uncle's family. To protect my mother and brother, I had to work hard for the family to gain my grandfather's approval..."

Hearing Su Yuxin's heartfelt words, Ye Fan sighed. He knew that Su Yuxin didn't want to show her true self, but she couldn't!

"Doctor Ye, thank you."

Su Yuxin spoke again, looking at Ye Fan with gratitude and deep emotion, "Without you, I might have already left this world, and I wouldn't be as valued by my grandfather now. My brother wouldn't have the chance to compete for the family succession either!"

"I've already told you, you don't need to thank me." Ye Fan smiled bitterly.

"Doctor Ye, you don't know. Because of my mother's experiences and the events after I entered society, I once believed that women can only truly stand on their own and feel secure by relying on themselves."

Su Yuxin looked at Ye Fan with misty eyes, murmuring, "But... your appearance changed my view. Sometimes I even think you might be a guardian angel sent by heaven..."

"If not, you wouldn't have appeared when I was most desperate and helpless, and you wouldn't have helped me time and time again..."

"Doctor Ye, I owe you so much, so much that I don't know how to repay you..."

"Doctor Ye..."

Lying on the seat, Su Yuxin, under the influence of alcohol, murmured her inner thoughts to Ye Fan until he drove onto the road leading to Jiuxi Rose Garden.

Suddenly, her face turned pale, and she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, shivering and her heart racing, even her breathing became difficult!

Swish!

Seeing this through the rearview mirror, Ye Fan's face changed!

Su Yuxin's condition had suddenly worsened!
