Chapter 115: The other person beside Jinhai (1)
“Well?”, Nana asked like a wife nagging her husband.
Jinhai liked that feeling.
“Yes. I was wrong. I’m very sorry. I will never do that again.”, he lowered his head and said sincerely.
“En.”, she was satisfied.
“Nee-chan.”, Yukito asked knocking her door.
“Coming.”
“Wait. I will open the door. You shouldn’t walk in your condition.”
“It’s okay…”, but Jinhai already got up. He opened the door and greeted the twins.
“Hello.”
They were dumbfounded. Why is he giving off the feeling that he was rightfully opening the door like this was his own room?
Oh, and do you finally recognize us? Hmph!
“Come inside you two.”, she said.
The twins saw her inside and said, “We are so sorry Nee-chan. We totally fell asleep.”
“It’s okay. I also didn’t feel like waking you up.”, she looked at Jinhai but still felt a little awkward after what happened last night. He might not remember but she did.
“Mr. Liu Jinhai-“
“Please call me only Liu Jinhai. The salutation isn’t necessary.”, he said.
Huh?
Yukito narrowed his eyes.
“How can I…”, she looked hesitant.
“It’s no problem.”, he insisted.
After a pause, she sighed. “Okay. Liu Jinhai.”
He felt satisfied. “En.”
“You can freshen up here and I will cook some hangover soup for you.”
“No. You freshen up here. I will go to the twin’s room. I already said you shouldn’t walk much.”
Yukira scowled. Oh yeah? Last night you were so vehemently opposing coming to our room.
Yukito didn’t comment.
She thought and nodded.

After half an hour, everyone gathered down. Nana served him his hangover soup.
Jinhai said, “Thank you. And…I’m sorry for causing you trouble last night.”
She smiled. “No problem.”
They had their breakfast and it was time for him to leave. He knew he had to go back home, but Jinhai wanted to spend a little more time.
“Ah…”, he pressed his forehead.
“What is wrong?”, Nana quickly asked in concern.
“My head. It is still hurting a lot.”
Bro, just how much did you drink last night?
Nana was in a dilemma. It won’t be safe driving with his head aching. He might lose his focus.
Nobody saw Jinhai, but he quietly typed something on his phone.
Yukito suggested, “It’s no problem. We will send him by the cab, and then later his driver can come here and pick up his car.”
Nana nodded. “That’s a good idea. I will book a cab.”
She opened her cab app. She found one cab two minutes away from her place. Just when she was about to book it, the cab symbol disappeared.
Huh?
She tried again but this time she couldn’t find any cab nearby. She frowned. She opened the app again but it was still the same. She opened another app but there too, was not a single cab available.
What happened to all the cabs? Is there a strike?
“I cannot find any cab here.”
The twins also checked. “How is this possible?”
She sighed, “What should we do now?”
Jinhai said, “It’s alright. I will manage it somehow.”, he made a slightly painful face.
She hesitated. “Let’s do one thing. I will also come with you. Sorry, you will have to drive though. With my ankle…”
“Don’t worry, I will drive.”
“But, I will check on you. There should be someone with you in your current state. The twins have their school so I am the only one who can come.”
His eyes sparkled secretly. He quickly nodded.
“Okay. I will bring my purse and then we’ll go.”
They got outside and the twins left for their school. Jinhai and Nana also settled in the car and drove towards the Golden Sea villa.

Golden Sea villa.
Huian was pacing back and forth in the living room. She knew Jinhai was very angry with her. He didn’t come back last night and she was worried now. She wanted to talk to him and apologize. The whole night she felt guilty.
All the family members also gathered. Jing scowled at her.
Liu Chunhua said, “Don’t worry dear. He will-“
From the corner of her eyes, she saw two silhouettes coming.
“Jinhai!”
They all looked towards the entrance.
“Jinhai..-“, at first Huian was happy but froze seeing the other person beside him.
N-Nana? Why is she here?
Everyone else was dumbfounded too except Liu Hai and Jing.
Liu Chunhua said, “Are you alright? Where were you?”
He said nothing.
She felt hurt seeing his ignorance. Liu Hai sighed.
Huian was about to go near him but his chilling glare stopped her in her steps. They challenged her as if saying, ‘don’t dare to come near me or I won’t mind making a scene.’
She immediately retreated. She bit her lips hard.
Grandma Liu asked, “What kind of irresponsible behavior is that Jinhai? Where were you!?”
He ignored her.
Nana felt awkward. Is there some tension going on? Should I say something?
She was about to talk when Jing interrupted.
“Sister Nana!”, he happily hopped over to her.
Nana was elated. “Liu Jing.”
He hugged her. “How are you? And how is your leg?”
She chuckled. “We just met yesterday. I’m-“, she knit her brows abruptly. She stepped near him and smelled him.
Everyone was confused.
She narrowed her eyes. “Were you smoking?”
His jolly smile vanished. He gulped.
“Ah…”, he was going to lie but her stare clearly said, ‘Don’t bother lying.’
“Yes…”
The next second Nana twisted his ear hard.
“Ouch, ouch, ouch!!! F*ck you are so strong. My ear!!!”
Everybody had their mouths hanging wide open. The maids and the butlers were shell-shocked.
She-she twisted second young master’s ear? She must have a death wish!
