66: A small misunderstanding

The mere thought of possibly being seen completely by a man made Tang Xinyi's face flush with shame and indignation.

She wasn't sure how to face any of this.

After a while, she gathered her courage and called out, "Zimo?"

No one responded.

Even after calling several times, there was still no reply.

A flicker of doubt crossed Tang Xinyi's eyes.

Had he already left?

She hesitated for a moment, and after checking that her pajamas were intact, she emerged from under the covers and got out of bed.

The hotel room was quite extraordinary; a soft, plush, high-grade carpet cushioned her feet, making it very comfortable to walk on.

But Tang Xinyi wasn't in the mood to pay attention to such details; instead, she was looking for her clothes.

Aside from her phone and bag being on the bedside table, the clothes she had worn yesterday were nowhere to be found, not even in the inner wardrobe. However, there was a new dress hanging in the closet.

After searching around, she bit her lip and finally decided to open the room door.

It was very dark outside, and the curtains were drawn, allowing only a faint, dim light to penetrate.

Using the light from her phone, Tang Xinyi made her way to the living room, where she saw Xu Zimo lying on the sofa.

Besides him, there was no one else in the room.

So... it must have been Xu Zimo who changed her clothes.

Tang Xinyi's lips were bitten until they were somewhat pale, and her eyes were red-rimmed.

Why?

Why would someone who seemed so reliable and trustworthy still do something like this?

Her opinion of Xu Zimo plummeted to rock bottom.

At this moment, she only wanted to retrieve her clothes and leave this place quickly.

"Xu Zimo!"

She called out his full name directly, her voice slightly hoarse and stiff.

She called several times in a row.

"Hmm?"

Xu Zimo woke up, groggily opening his eyes, and saw Tang Xinyi standing not far away. "You're awake?"

He spoke very casually.

As if the two of them were already very familiar with each other.

Tang Xinyi didn't speak; she just looked at him quietly, her gaze like that of someone looking at a stranger.

"What's wrong?"

Xu Zimo sat up.

He had been through a lot last night. He hadn't expected that the seemingly well-behaved girl he knew would be in such a state when drunk.

The lights came on, and Tang Xinyi noticed that Xu Zimo was also wearing pajamas.

She took a deep breath and then asked in a stiff tone, "Where are my clothes?"

"Aren't they in the closet?"

Seeing Tang Xinyi still staring at him, Xu Zimo finally seemed to remember and said, "You mean the ones you wore yesterday? They've been washed. I'll have the Private Butler send them up later. You can wear the ones in the closet for now."

"Washed?"

Tang Xinyi's expression changed slightly. She rubbed her aching head, and some fragmented images suddenly flashed in her mind.

Those seemed to be things that happened after she got drunk.

"You threw up on them like that; how could they be worn without washing?"

Xu Zimo was a bit speechless. He could even smell the lingering odor on himself.

Annoying.

But, looking at Tang Xinyi, who was still in a daze, he couldn't help but ask, "You... didn't forget what you did, did you?"

While in the car, Tang Xinyi had been crying and making a fuss in his arms, weeping profusely.

Upon arriving at the hotel, Xu Zimo had initially booked a standard suite.

But who knew, as soon as they entered the room, Tang Xinyi threw up all over him, and both their clothes got dirty.

Upon inquiry, only the presidential suite offered Private Butler service, so he had no choice but to book another room and have the female Private Butler change Tang Xinyi's clothes.

And, he bought new clothes and hung them in the closet.

"I..."

Tang Xinyi also seemed to recall some things at this moment, including the scene of herself crying and making a fuss in Xu Zimo's arms.

However, because she had blacked out, her memory wasn't complete.

But after Xu Zimo's reminder, she seemed to remember that she had thrown up. She even vaguely recalled Xu Zimo's disbelieving expression at the time.

What happened next, she had no impression of at all.

How could this be?!

Tang Xinyi suddenly felt her head ache even more.

She had actually had such intimate contact with a man!

This was something that had never happened even during her relationship with Wang Qiang, yet it had so easily occurred after getting drunk!

Most importantly...

From the images in her mind, it seemed she was the one taking the initiative, even going so far as to actively try to kiss him after arriving at the room, and then... she threw up all over both of them.

How embarrassing!

Tang Xinyi's state of mind had shifted from initial indignation to complete shame.

It's over, it's over.

Her image was completely ruined.

While she was caught in this internal struggle, Xu Zimo had already called the Private Butler, asking him to bring up their clothes.

Seeing Tang Xinyi still hitting her head, he also instructed to bring up the prepared hangover soup.

He knew that hangovers were unpleasant, so he had instructed the Private Butler last night.

"Are you feeling better?"

After hanging up the phone, Xu Zimo walked towards Tang Xinyi.

"I..."

Tang Xinyi didn't dare to look up at him. In fact, hearing Xu Zimo's voice would make his disbelieving expression, when she threw up all over him, flash in her mind.

She bit her lip tightly to prevent any strange sounds from escaping.

"You should sit down; don't keep standing."

Seeing her dazed look, Xu Zimo reminded her again.

Tang Xinyi hesitated for a moment but still sat on the sofa. Her expression was conflicted, constantly changing; she didn't know how to speak or what to say.

Throwing up like that was, of course, her own fault, and her clothes were so dirty that they definitely needed changing.

Besides that, Xu Zimo hadn't done anything inappropriate to her.

Although there were still some reservations, she could only accept it.

However, she didn't know how to face him, nor how they would interact in the future. Perhaps... they would have no further contact after this.

Soon, the doorbell rang.

It was the Private Butler, who brought in their clothes and also placed a bowl of hangover soup in front of Tang Xinyi. "Madam, here is your hangover soup, as Mr. Xu requested last night."

He really... knew how to take care of people.

Looking at Xu Zimo's back as he went to change, Tang Xinyi's expression was complex.

"Madam, these are your clothes. Last night, when I was changing your clothes, I noticed some loose threads on the side. I sewed them up for you after cleaning. Please check if it affects anything."

As she spoke, the female Private Butler handed the clothes to Tang Xinyi.

"Loose threads?"

Wait.

"You were the one who changed my clothes?"

Tang Xinyi looked at the female Private Butler in astonishment.

"Yes."

The female Private Butler replied with a smile.

Tang Xinyi was stunned. It wasn't Xu Zimo after all, but this female Private Butler who had changed her clothes.

Then hadn't she completely misunderstood him?

Thinking of her attitude and expressed emotions just now, a strong feeling of guilt immediately arose in Tang Xinyi's heart.
