Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Chapter 702 Too drunk, go home

As the night carried on, so did the color of the sky. The time was nearing midnight and other food stalls had already left for the night, but Yue Ling and her subordinates continued to enjoy their time in front of Uncle Nuoʼs food stall.

Heartfelt laughter echoed into the night sky as each person drank to celebrate the memorable night and catch up with personal life.

Yue Ling had a little too much to drink, but she was one who always knew when to stop herself from drinking too much. She would smile and laugh with everyone but did not forget to keep watch over everyone.

Sitting to her left, Uncle Nuo was as red as a baboonʼs bottom. However, with his old age, he could out drink all the young adults that were trying to get him drunk.

He remembers something and turns his head to look at Yue Ling. He was hesitant at first but decides to tell her.

”Young Miss, the other day I ran into Qin—”

*Crash—

Before he could say any more words, a young man falls flat on the ground. He had wanted to get more food but in a drunken state, he ended up tripping on his own feet.

Everyone turned to look at the man and another wave of laughter sounds into the sky. However, some didnʼt forget to go over and help him up to see if he was injured or not.

”Uh… Boss, heʼs completely out of it. Iʼll take him now.”

Another man spoke in a chuckle as he held the drunk man up.

Yue Ling smiles a nod in approval and watched as the two men leave in the direction of their parked cars. Once they were no longer in view, she looks back at Uncle Nuo.

”What was it that you were saying?”

Uncle Nuo opened his mouth to speak, but his eyes subconsciously glance at Liu Shan who was sitting across from him.

It was like the assistant knew what he was going to say and secretly shook his head.

Uncle Nuo sighs inside before looking at Yue Ling with a smile. He waves one hand in front of her and decides not to say what he wanted.

”Itʼs nothing. This old me just wanted to congratulate you.”

Yue Ling stares at Uncle Nuo for a long second. She wasnʼt able to hear him clearly the first time, so not thinking much, she smiles thankfully at him before turning to look at the others.

A few were drunk and could barely stand while some were immersed in their own conversations.

She wanted to stay as it has been a while but knowing that it was already late into the night, it was best to have everyone leave home. Uncle Nuo also needed to go home but was probably waiting for them to leave so he could close his food stall.

”Uncle Nuo, I truly apologize for the trouble tonight. Itʼs getting late, we will leave after helping you close up.”

Her words fell and like a group of zombies being controlled, everyone stood up from their seat to help clean. Even those who could barely open their eyes suddenly turned normal and began perfectly clearing the tables.

Their movements were once again natural like they had done this too many times.

Uncle Nuo wanted to tell Yue Ling and everyone that it was alright, but seeing that everyone had already started cleaning up, he could only sigh inside.

Even if he wanted to decline the generous help, knowing Yue Ling, she is quite stubborn when she drinks and will not take no for an answer.

*Crash—

Just as two tables had been cleared of any food and drinks, the sound of metal rattling sounds from the table at the end.

Tang Zhonghui, who had cleared off the second table to end frowns at the noise. He turns his head to the source and chuckles at the person.

”Ya, if youʼre too drunk, go home.”

However, the moment he turned around, what he was met with was not one person, but a group of ten men.

Each person looked robust and carried a malicious aura around them.

Tang Zhonghui was quickly put on alert as the group didnʼt look like people who belonged in this part of Imperial.

However, despite their taunting appearance, he did not lose his composure.

Not hearing Tang Zhonghuiʼs voice anymore, Yue Ling and the others turn to see what happened.

When they saw the group behind their comrade, each person kept their calm but alertness flash in their eyes.

Uncle Nuo knew right away that this new group is up to no good, but as the owner here, he smiles politely and walks over to greet them.

”Gentlemen, my food stall is closing for the night. I will have to trouble you all to come back tomorrow.”

Hearing his words, none of the ten men moved. A man standing in the middle (Weʼll call him Man 1) glance at the crowd then down to Uncle Nuo.

His appearance was the scariest compare to the others. His right eye was white as he was blind on that side. One corner of his lip arcs up and he snickers evilly.

”Old man, there are so many people here and you dare say your food stall is closing?”

He glances at Tang Zhonghui. Sizing the young man up, he scoffs a sneer as he (Tang Zhonghui) is only half his size then looks back at Uncle Nuo.

”My boss wants to eat here. So, as long as he is here, your food stall will remain in business.”

His words full in a frightening tone that could bring a shiver down anyone who hears. However, it made all the blood inside Tang Zhonghui boiled like a volcano on the verge of erupting.

”You—”

He (Tang Zhonghui) takes a step forward to confront the manʼs rude behavior but was stopped.

Uncle Nuo takes a small step to stand in front of the young man. He looks at Man 1 then to the others before looking back at Man 1.

”If your boss finds the food here appetizing then I will keep the stall open for service.”

He slightly turns to the side and gestures to the table at the end.

”Please have a seat.”

Man 1 glance smirk arrogantly, he glances at each person like he was searching for someone. When he saw Yue Ling amongst the group, he sneers maliciously before gesturing a wave with one hand.

He takes a step to the side as the other nine men follow and each person made a path.

As the path opened, from behind, a tall and bulky man comes into view. His left arm was placed over a woman with brown hair.

Anyone who saw them would question their relationship as they looked like they were from two different worlds. However, their closeness was enough to let others know the kind of relationship they were in.

Yue Ling saw the man and her bluish-green eyes dimmed dangerously, but when she saw the woman, a tremble quickly replace.

She looks at her assistant and could see all the colors on his face drained away.

However, like she could read his mind, her right-hand reach to grab his left wrist and she whispers in a voice that only he could hear.

”Donʼt.”
