?74: Chapter 74: A Dream 74: Chapter 74: A Dream “Beautiful, why don’t you hang out with us for a while?” a man with a tattoo of an earthworm on his arm said, reaching out toward Murong Yue’s face.

    “Get lost, I’m not in a good mood today!” Murong Yue really was in a terrible mood.

    She had come here to drink and vent, but she hadn’t expected to encounter some thugs.

    “Oh, feisty, huh?

    But the feistier you are, the more fun we’ll have later!” the man laughed as if he could already see the beauty under him in his mind.

    Click!

    At that moment, a broken bottle came crashing down on his head, and he slumped to the ground!

    “How come you’re this drunk?” Bai Xiaofan asked softly, wrapping his arm around Murong Yue’s shoulders.

    “Huh?

    Is that you?” Murong Yue, her eyes bleary, looked at Bai Xiaofan and then hooked her arms around his neck, half-drunk and half-awake.

    Wowza!

    This direct?

    Isn’t that a bit much, especially for a decent man?

    How embarrassing!

    “Kid, where the hell are you from?

    How dare you hurt our boss!” The other thugs, seeing their leader taken down by Bai Xiaofan, glared at him angrily.

    “If you don’t want to end up like him, get lost!” Bai Xiaofan picked up the passed-out Murong Yue and swept a cold glance over the men.

    Seeing them stand there unmoved, he kicked a man blocking the way.

    Seeing Bai Xiaofan’s bravery, the remaining thugs instinctively made way, allowing him to carry Murong Yue out.

    “Hey, where do you live?” Bai Xiaofan asked, looking at Murong Yue in his arms.

    “Don’t want, I don’t have a home!”

    Murong Yue’s voice was soft, carrying a hint of faint sadness and sorrow.

    Bai Xiaofan was in a dilemma, he couldn’t very well take her back to the villa, not with Jiang Feifei, that shrew, likely to drive him insane!

    Suddenly, Bai Xiaofan spotted a hotel across the street, so he carried Murong Yue to the hotel.

    Since he hadn’t brought his ID, Bai Xiaofan had to dig out Murong Yue’s ID to book a standard room!

    No sooner had they entered the room than Murong Yue threw up!

    Bai Xiaofan, having no choice, dumped Murong Yue on the bed, then went to get a mop from the bathroom to clean up.

    Just when he had finished and was about to tuck Murong Yue in and leave, he was stunned by her appearance.

    ...

    The next morning, as sunlight began to spill through the window, Bai Xiaofan woke up from a beautiful dream.

    He turned and looked at the still-sleeping Murong Yue beside him, a look of ecstasy on his face.

    He wasn’t the type to shirk responsibility.

    He was willing to marry her, and he believed that, with his current capabilities, while he might not be able to provide a life of great wealth, he could at least ensure she was not mistreated.

    Thinking this, Bai Xiaofan couldn’t help but kiss Murong Yue.

    However, at that moment, Murong Yue slowly opened her beautiful eyes!

    When she saw the handsome face before her, there was a brief moment of panic, which quickly turned into a cold demeanor.

    “You’re awake, how was last night?

    Did it hurt?” Bai Xiaofan, untroubled, hugged her as she woke.

    “Hurt?” Murong Yue asked, puzzled, before seeming to understand and playfully glared at him, “Could you leave first?”

    Bai Xiaofan sighed helplessly, then got out of bed and casually walked out of the room, picking up his clothes in her line of sight.

    After Bai Xiaofan left, Murong Yue sat on the bed, unable to snap back to reality for a long time.

    When he left the room, Bai Xiaofan had already ordered breakfast!

    “Have something to eat.

    You drank a lot last night; your stomach must be upset,” Bai Xiaofan greeted her tenderly as he saw Murong Yue come out.

    Murong Yue didn’t speak.

    She sat across from Bai Xiaofan and quietly began to eat.

    “I have things to do, I’ll leave first!” After eating, Murong Yue stood up, preparing to leave.

    Thud!

    Hearing Bai Xiaofan’s words, Murong Yue nearly fell over.

    Damn it, this jerk is too shameless, isn’t he?

    “No need, I think we won’t meet again.

    Consider yesterday a dream,” Murong Yue calmly said, shaking her head lightly.

    A dream, huh?

    Bai Xiaofan’s mouth twisted into a bitter smile.

    Sure enough, he had noticed the change in Murong Yue’s expression when they woke up.

    But for Bai Xiaofan, Murong Yue was his first woman; how could he possibly treat her as just a dream?

    “Do you have any troubles?

    Maybe...

    I could help?” Bai Xiaofan asked softly, looking at Murong Yue.

    “No troubles, we’re just not right for each other.

    Goodbye...” Facing away from Bai Xiaofan, Murong Yue forced a helpless smile and lightly left these words behind as she departed.

    What Bai Xiaofan didn’t know was that in Murong Yue’s heart, there was one last unspoken sentence, “Goodbye, my first man!”
