บท 717: Anxious

Qin Zhen felt anxious when he noticed Gu Shaoting hadn't returned, but he couldn't show it. Sitting there, he occasionally glanced at his phone, then at his watch, feeling increasingly restless.

No one knew his inner turmoil. He worried that Charlene might have gotten drunk and something bad could happen to her alone.

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.

So he stood up, intending to find Gu Shaoting and inform him that he had to leave for something urgent.

Just then, Gu Shaoting walked over, his steady gait indicating he was fine.

"What's wrong? Everything okay?" Qin Zhen asked politely.

"Nothing, just had a bit too much tonight," Gu Shaoting waved it off, feeling annoyed. He had been drowning his sorrows in alcohol, one drink after another, and had ended up getting drunk.

Fortunately, he managed to stop in time, washed his face, and sobered up a bit.
