Chapter 143 Tang Yan and Li Dabai

The next day, Fu Yibai opened his eyes to find Tang Yan still asleep in his arms, her face buried in his chest, breathing evenly.

Li Dabai had somehow snuggled into his chest, her arms draped over her body, her fair and plump thighs resting on his lower abdomen.

He gently removed the two women's arms and legs from his body, then got up and got out of bed.

The sound of water came from the bathroom. Fu Yibai took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and came out to find Tang Yan already awake, rubbing her eyes against the headboard.

"What time is it?"

"Seven o'clock."

Fu Yibai sat down on the edge of the bed and buttoned up the cuffs of his shirt.

Tang Yan leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.

"Leaving so early?"

"I need to catch a flight; I have some business to attend to at the company."

Tang Yan nodded, her gaze falling on Li Dabai on the other side of the bed.

Li Dabai was still asleep, breathing steadily, and motionless.

"What should we do about her?"

"Wait until she wakes up, you can get some more sleep."

Fu Yibai stood up, tied his tie, and picked up his coat.

"Um."

Tang Yan shrank back into the covers and looked at him tenderly.

Fu Yibai walked to the door and glanced back at her.

Tang Yan smiled, her eyes crinkling, and waved.

The door closed, and the room fell silent.

"Sister Bai, isn't it time to wake up?"

Everyone's gone.

His voice was neither too loud nor too soft, carrying a hint of languor from just waking up, and an undisguised smile.

Li Dabai didn't move.

Tang Yan wasn't in a hurry. She reached for her phone on the bedside table, pressed a couple of buttons, and slowly spoke.

"Sister Bai, how come your alcohol tolerance is so low? You haven't even had many drinks."

Li Dabai moved.

The movement was very slight; the shoulders tensed up slightly for a moment, then relaxed again.

Tang Yan laughed out loud.

"Alright, stop pretending. Your breathing has changed a long time ago."

silence.

A few seconds later, Li Dabai rolled over, lay flat on his back, and opened his eyes.

She stared at the ceiling, her face expressionless, but her ears were slightly red.

"woke up?"

Tang Yan leaned closer, resting her chin on the pillow, and looked at her with a smile.

Li Dabai didn't speak, his gaze shifting from the ceiling to Tang Yan's face, his lips moving slightly.

"last night……"

His voice was a little hoarse, with the dryness of someone who had just woken up.

She cleared her throat and continued, "I drank too much last night, I'm sorry for the trouble."

Tang Yan blinked, didn't reply, and just looked at her.

Li Dabai felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze, so he looked away and stared at the light coming through the gap in the curtains.

"Are you really drunk?"

Tang Yan's voice was tinged with laughter.

Li Dabai did not answer.

"Shouldn't you sleep in your own room if you've had too much to drink?"

How did you end up at Mr. Fu's door?

Also, when he hugs you, you snuggle into the crook of his neck and hold onto his clothes tightly.

Tang Yan spoke in a relaxed tone, as if she were talking about something interesting.

"Were you drunk back then?"

Li Dabai closed his eyes, his eyelashes trembling slightly.

"Candy..."

"Um?"

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

Tang Yan smiled.

She sat up, hugged her knees, and looked at Li Dabai with her head turned to the side.

"Sister Bai, when did you start having feelings for Yi Bai?"

Li Dabai opened his eyes and met her gaze.

"no."

"No?"

Tang Yan tilted her head.

"Then why did you come here last night? Your room is at the other end of the hallway; you wouldn't have gotten here even if you went the wrong way."

Li Dabai remained silent for two seconds.

"He drank too much."

"oh--"

Li Dabai could no longer keep up the act; a faint pink blush rose from his ears to his cheeks, spreading across his snow-white skin.

"Tangtang, I didn't know what kind of relationship you two had."

I didn't mean to take it from you.

Tang Yan tilted her head to look at her, a meaningful smile playing on her lips.

"What are you robbing?"

Li Dabai remained silent.

Tang Yan moved closer to her and lowered her voice.

"Sister Bai, tell me the truth, were you really drunk last night, or were you faking it?"

Li Dabai stared at the ray of light coming through the gap in the curtains and remained silent for a few seconds.

"It was true at the beginning."

Her voice was very soft.

"Later... I woke up, but I didn't dare to open my eyes."

Tang Yan laughed out loud.

"From when, not from the two of us...?"

"Um…"

Li Dabai was so ashamed that he hid under the covers, his body burning hot as if it were on fire.

"Haha, Sister Bai."

You're so funny.

Li Dabai peeked out from under the covers and met her gaze.

"Tangtang, you...aren't you angry?"

"angry?"

Tang Yan blinked, then laughed, a carefree laugh.

"Why should I be angry? He's not just mine."

Li Dabai was stunned for a moment.

Tang Yan leaned back, her tone relaxed.

"Sister Binbin, Sister Jing, Sister Lan, Liu Yan, and that little girl Yang Mi, and maybe even others."

She paused, then looked at Li Dabai.

"Sister Bai, you've been with the company for a while now, surely you noticed something like this?"

Li Dabai remained silent.

"So, one more of you won't make a difference."

Tang Yan leaned closer.

"But Sister Bai, you have to treat me to a meal."

Why?

"Because I can help you."

If you really like Yi Bai, I can help you.

From now on, we're sisters.

Li Dabai was stunned.

She never imagined she would hear such an outrageous statement in her lifetime.

"you……

you……"

For a moment, Li Dabai was at a loss for words.

"This is insane, this is insane."

Li Dabai muttered as he got out of bed.

I straightened my clothes and went outside.

"Sister Bai, where are you going?"

Without turning his head, Li Dabai said, "Order food."

"Ordering food?"

Tang Yan was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and couldn't help but laugh so hard she fell onto the bed.
