Let's Get Married novel Chapter 204

Lily knows that she is teasing her, and smiles humbly to shoot back, “Don’t ask me about this, aren’t you the same?”

Crystal subconsciously thinks about Joe and quickly makes a joke, “Come, come, eat some chocolate to boost your blood sugar, I think you can’t even stand properly….”

The annual meeting goes from nearly eight o’clock to nearly ten o’clock. For the first time in her life, Lily feels it hard to attend entertainment. Whether you are the high or low supervisor, as long as other’s level is higher than yours, you have to toast a glass with them earnestly.

It is impossible to toast together. Thus, it can only be done separately. While drinking at it, her dizzy head turns aside. The food she has just eaten is almost piled in her throat.

She really could not keep it up anymore. Thus, she tells Crystal that she goes to the toilet and left. Inside the toilet, she meets many acquaintances; all of them are in her team. Each of them drinks a lot.

Lily goes into the bathroom and washes her wrist with cold water. After sobering up a little, she walks back to the hall.

She is half-bending her head, trying to restrain the uncomfortable feeling in her stomach, which makes her does not look on the way ahead. She is also very unresponsive. When she is approaching the door, her head suddenly hits a wall of people.

Her footsteps are unstable and she staggers back. Her waist is then immediately covered with a warm palm, which slightly uses an effort to stabilize her.

There is a refreshing scent mixing with a lightly smell of alcohol on the man’s body. Lily does not need to look up to know who it is.

When she just wants to speak and just opens her mouth, there is a surge of nausea coming. She raises her hand and presses her chest, her brows furrowed tightly.

Seeing that she is uncomfortable, Rex pulls the person into the VIP elevator aside and takes out the room card from the pocket inside the suit, then swipes it to a corresponding floor. He brings her into the suite while half-cuddling her.

As soon as Lily enters the room, she subconsciously searches for a sofa. Then she falls onto the sofa like a slush, “Ah.. nice.”

Rex glances at her dress and turns on the air conditioner. Afraid that she will catch a cold, he takes off his coat and puts it on her. He then leans over and smells a quite strong alcohol scent on her lip, “How much did you drink?”

Lily holds out her finger and gestures, “A little…”

“Heh,” As if laughing, his voice is low yet deep and sonorous, “More than a little.”

Lily says nothing. In fact, she is not completely drunk, but some behaviors are indeed started to be out of control, indeed… more than a little.

For example, she unexpectedly reaches out and grabs his collar at this moment, “Socializing is really annoying. It turns out that you’ve always been so tough.”

She does not have enough energy to look at him. However, Rex leans closer in order to cooperate with her, “Who asked you to drink, huh?”

He will go back and pulls them out one by one. They like drinking, right? Then they will have to attend every socializing feast in the future.

Lily thinks about it, but her head is in a mess. The more she recalls it clearly, the more she could not remember anything. As if a cat is scratching a ball of knitting wool, she has no idea.

After thinking for a while, she gives up, “Forgot...”

As if knowing the result, Rex sighs helplessly and turns around to walk to the bedroom. He takes the pillow on the bed and puts it under her head.

There is still a group of people waiting for him downstairs. He still needs to do his business. Upon looking at the petite woman lying on the sofa, Rex coaxes and says, “Rest for a while. Spit it out if you feel uncomfortable. Get some sleep if you’re sleepy. I’m going out for a while.”

Lily is a little sluggish, his voice also seems to be slowed down. It takes a while before she nods, “Hmm, hurry up…”

The man’s cool fingertips tap her forehead, “Okay.”

…

Downstairs, Joe is looking for him all over the hall. When he sees him coming down from the guest elevator, he remembers Crystal said that she cannot find Lily too. He seems to understand a bit but secretly criticizes him. Rex is too hurried, he cannot even wait for a while….

Rex returns to the top level’s banquet hall. There is a lot of company’s director who also drinks much. Upon seeing him coming back, they greet him and wait to go home.

Inside, Rex really hopes that they will leave earlier. There is a woman upstairs that makes him worried.

Orson aware of his anxiety and teases him, “If you’re worried then go, I can handle this by myself.”

“It’s okay.”

Orson looks at his expression that is trying to hide the fact, and then continue to say, “Oh right, I heard that you give Lily the award? Not bad hah….”

The man finally looks over him and says nonchalantly, “If you have this space time, consider your own problem, don’t bother my girlfriend.”

After that, he walks toward the door, leaving Orson alone at the chaos. Bothering Lily? What is he…

A small white face suddenly flashes through his mind, Orson’s expression stiffens for a moment. He then understands what it means, which makes him a little upset.

Rex walks to the door and chats with the old director who has worked with him since the company established. They do not chat about the work, most of it is their greetings to each other.

When he is speaking, his phone in his pocket rings. After slightly signaling a hint, he walks to the corner to pick it up, “Hello?”

“Rex, are you still busy?” Marina’s soft voice comes from the microphone, accompanied by the sound of ping pong, “I heard that you’re attending the annual feats tonight. I’ve cooked you some sober soup, when you come back….”

“No need.” Rex interrupts her, his vision falls on the scattered snowflakes outside the window, “I’m not going back tonight.”

Marina’s voice pauses, “You’re not coming back? Then where are you staying, it’s snowing outside, is it convenient for you?”

Even though her voice is all about her concern, Rex still could hear the hidden request behind it.

She is making a request by using this kind of gentle tone, she is asking for him.

The negative emotion suddenly urges up. Rex suddenly loses his patience, “Marina, I said I will not go back tonight.”

For so many years, this is the first time Rex has spoken to her in such a direct yet impatient tone. She was merely wondering if he will come back or not, why did he disgust her like that?

Marina looks at the boiling water in the pot. She has not made the sober soup. However, now it seems that it is unnecessary.

Her chest seems to be stuffed with a ball of cotton that makes her breathless, “Rex, do you think I disturbed you and Lily? Well then, I’ll move out tonight.”

After it, she directly hangs up without giving Rex a chance to speak.

Looking at the disconnect call, Rex curses in a low voice, afraid that she will do something irrational. He walks out in worry. Halfway through, he pauses and takes out his phone again to call Maxx, “Go to my Villa now. Marina’s mood is very unstable right now, calm her down.”

Hearing it, Maxx’s tone tightens, “Marina? Is there anything wrong?”

Listening to his unusual tone, Rex’s left brow slightly raises up, as if he is clearly aware of something. “Maxx, calm down.”

Only then, Maxx realizes that his attitude just now is a little too aggressive. He then quickly puts away his emotions, “Sorry, Rex. I will rush over now!”
