390: Send Xiao Hongmei home and get the evidence

“Master, please wait here for a while. I’ll take her home and then come back. Don’t worry, I’ll give you extra money,” Liu Xiaolin said after getting out of the car.

“Alright, you go ahead. A girlfriend should be seen safely home,” the designated driver said with a smile.

Xiao Hongmei’s face flushed red when she heard that, but she didn’t explain, merely waiting silently for Liu Xiaolin to catch up.

When Liu Xiaolin heard this, for some reason, he also didn’t want to explain, as if afraid of ruining the beautiful atmosphere of the evening.

He quickened his steps, trying to catch up with Xiao Hongmei: “Sister Hongmei, why are you walking so fast? Wait for me.”

“It’s not that I walk fast, it’s that you’re not used to our steps here, right?” Xiao Hongmei said with a smile, “We’re used to climbing slopes, it’s like walking on flat ground for us, but you still find it a bit strenuous, right?”

“Exactly! I thought arriving at the residential area meant I was home, but I didn’t expect to have to climb so many steps,” Liu Xiaolin said, a little out of breath, after finally catching up with Xiao Hongmei.

“This is the characteristic of our mountain city, a city built on a mountain, magical and grand. I especially like it here,” Xiao Hongmei said with a smile.

“If you like it so much here, how will you travel all over the world with me in the future?” Liu Xiaolin said with a smile.

“It’s alright! You can build a project here, and then I can work with you!” Xiao Hongmei looked at Liu Xiaolin, her eyes filled with anticipation.

“Is that so? Maybe it’s possible, who knows what will happen in the future?” Liu Xiaolin said with a smile.

The two walked for seven or eight minutes before entering the residential area of the community, and then walked for another two or three minutes before reaching the downstairs of Xiao Hongmei’s home.

“You wait here, I’ll go upstairs to get the evidence and bring it down to you,” Xiao Hongmei instructed.

At this moment, Xiao Hongmei didn’t notice that she no longer called him Xiao Lin younger brother, but directly addressed him as “you.” Perhaps subconsciously, she no longer regarded Liu Xiaolin as a younger brother.

Liu Xiaolin did notice this, and under the influence of alcohol, his heart felt sweet, completely forgetting Hong Tongtong’s existence.

Five minutes later, Xiao Hongmei came out of the stairwell, holding an envelope and handing it to Liu Xiaolin: “Here are the invoice application forms signed by General Manager Cai, copies of the issued invoices, and related outbound delivery orders.”

Liu Xiaolin took the envelope, opened it, and glanced inside. The documents were neatly bound, clearly indicating a meticulous worker.

“Okay, I’ll take these. Thank you, Hongmei. I thank you on behalf of Dr. Hai,” Liu Xiaolin said excitedly.

“You’re welcome. Fortunately, I kept this evidence. It can be considered a good deed done for General Manager Hai unintentionally,” Xiao Hongmei said, her heart brimming with joy and a rosy blush on her cheeks upon hearing Liu Xiaolin address her directly by name.

Under the moonlight, Xiao Hongmei looked as beautiful as a fairy.

Liu Xiaolin couldn’t help but pull Xiao Hongmei into his arms: “Hongmei, you are so beautiful.”

Xiao Hongmei shyly rested her head on Liu Xiaolin’s shoulder without a sound.

With the beauty in his arms, Liu Xiaolin felt sweet but also guilty, as he thought of Hong Tongtong in Kunhe City.

He seemed to hear Hong Tongtong’s clear voice: “Liu Xiaolin, you can only love me!”

So, he immediately pushed Xiao Hongmei out of his embrace and said in a flustered manner, “I’m sorry, was I too abrupt?”

His flustered action made Xiao Hongmei appreciate him even more. When they were passionately embracing, he was still worried about being too abrupt? What kind of pure gentleman was this?

Xiao Hongmei said with a smile, “It’s not abrupt at all, I like you very much too.”

Liu Xiaolin’s heart was as sweet as honey, but due to the guilt in his heart, he dared not make any further moves.

“Then you should go back and rest quickly. I also need to return to the hotel,” Liu Xiaolin said, looking at the fairy-like Xiao Hongmei under the bright moonlight. Although he was very reluctant to leave, he forced himself to leave quickly to avoid making mistakes.

“Do you want me to see you out?” Xiao Hongmei, still thinking Liu Xiaolin was shy, asked.

“No need, I should be able to reach the community entrance by following the steps down, don’t worry,” Liu Xiaolin said, waving his hand and turning to leave, afraid that he wouldn’t be able to bear leaving.

Xiao Hongmei watched Liu Xiaolin’s fleeing figure and chuckled. She still thought Liu Xiaolin was young and inexperienced in love, which made him so shy.

Liu Xiaolin naturally understood Xiao Hongmei’s thoughts. He descended the steps feeling both ashamed and sweet, pondering how he could spend more time with Xiao Hongmei. He enjoyed the feeling of being meticulously cared for by Xiao Hongmei too much.

After quickly descending the steps, he glanced back at Xiao Hongmei’s building, feeling a sense of reluctance he had never experienced when leaving Hong Tongtong’s home.

“Don’t look, get in the car quickly, I’ve been waiting for you for a while,” the designated driver saw Liu Xiaolin at the intersection and not getting in the car, so he couldn’t help but stick his head out of the car window and shout loudly.

Liu Xiaolin then flusteredly got into the car with the envelope.

“Young people in love are always so inseparable; it will eventually settle down after a while,” the designated driver said in the tone of an experienced person, “All love changes in the end. If it changes for the better, it becomes family affection; if it changes for the worse, it becomes strangers; and if it changes terribly, it becomes enemies.”

Liu Xiaolin looked at the designated driver in surprise: “Why would it turn into enemies?”

“Of course, some turn into enemies!” the driver said while driving, “If one person changes their heart, wouldn’t the other person hate them to death?!”

Liu Xiaolin shivered. Had he changed his heart? No, he still loved Hong Tongtong very much, but he also couldn’t let go of Xiao Hongmei. Was he a legendary scumbag?

“Then are there no two people in love who live very well, even if another girl enters between them, there won’t be arguments?” Liu Xiaolin asked with a hopeful mindset.

“Haha, are you trying to enjoy the blessings of having multiple wives? It might have been possible in the past, but how could there be such a girl now?” the designated driver laughed loudly and said, “Unless the original partner is someone who traveled from ancient times and believes in the three obediences and four virtues.”

“It’s over, it’s definitely impossible. Hong Tongtong is a modern woman, and she’s also a genius scholar. How could she be a pedantic ancient time-traveler?” Liu Xiaolin thought wildly, no longer in the mood to talk to the designated driver.

Seeing that Liu Xiaolin was silent, the designated driver also stopped chattering. They knew how to read the room and would keep quiet when a customer didn’t want to talk.

Liu Xiaolin held the envelope, thinking of Hong Tongtong and Xiao Hongmei, his mind a tangled mess! He couldn’t let go of Hong Tongtong, and he couldn’t let go of Xiao Hongmei! What should he do?
