Because I simply love you

Chapter 112: Nana...Nana...Nana...

"I said what I wanted to say.", and without even looking back Jinhai left. Jing immediately followed him.

"Liu Hai, this is an injustice to my daughter! How can you defend Jinhai?", Xiang Wei said angrily.

Liu Hai said nothing.

Liu Chunhua felt torn apart between her son and daughter-in-law.

Grandma Liu quickly said, "Don't worry. I will talk to him again. I know he will surely understand.", she hugged Huian, "It's okay dear."

She nodded.

"Bro!", Jing called out. "Where are you going?"

Jinhai ruffled his hair. "Don't worry. I just need a breather. I'm sorry you came back and we couldn't spend some good time together."

He smiled, "It's fine big brother. I'm here for good now. We have lots of time ahead."

He pinched his cheeks. "Look how grown-up you are now." He stuck out his tongue.

"Bro.", he said seriously, "No matter what, I'll always be your side. I don't care if I go against Mom, Dad or Grandma. I will always be standing with you on your side. I'm not that little child anymore. I also want you to depend on me for any help you need just like how I do."

Jinhai smiled. He hugged his brother. "Of course. Thank you, Jing."

He hugged him back and Jing's eyes welled a little seeing his brother in pain.

It was eleven in the night when Nana was closing Natsukashi. She changed the signboard when she heard a car's noise from behind.

She turned back to see.

This carshe got shocked. Isn't it Mr. Liu Jinhai's car? What is he doing here at this hour?

She got closer to take a look and found Jinhai on the driver's seat, a little intoxicated.

He seems drunk. Gosh! It's dangerous to drink and drive. What was he thinking!

She knocked on the car window.

"Mr. Liu?"

He slowly looked to his side. He smiled seeing the familiar face.

"Nana"

He somehow opened his door and got out.

He tried to stand up but faltered a little.

"Mr. Liu Jinhai!?", she immediately supported him. It was a little difficult with her walking stick.

"Nana"

"Y-yes?"

"Nana", he mumbled incoherently.

What is wrong? Why is he suddenly so drunk today?

It was getting difficult for her to hold on to him with her one bad leg.

"Yukito. Yukira. Come outside please."

Did she hurt herself? The twins got worried and quickly came out. They widened their eyes seeing the man in front of them.

"Huh? Why is he here?", Yukira asked.

"He looks drunk.", Yukito figured.

"I also don't know. Help me in taking him inside for now."

They nodded and Yukito held his one arm over his shoulder while Yukira held the other over his.

"God he is so heavy. Just how much does he work out to get those muscles?", Yukira complained.

"He is so tall too! Damn it, he is hurting my pride.", Yukito commented.

Nana facepalmed.

They went inside and settled him in a chair.

"Go bring some lemon for him to suck on. Its sourness will help him to focus."

They quickly brought a lemon piece and made him taste it. He strongly furrowed his brows and moved his face aside. He was still delirious.

"What should we do now? Obviously, he can't drive back home in this state."

"Yeah, and what happened exactly? Why is he drunk and why did he come here?"

They all shook their heads.

Nana thought for a while and said, "I will call Mr. Liu Hai. He will send someone to pick him up."

She dialed his number and it was picked on the second ring.

"Hello. Mr. Liu Hai. I'm Nana. I'm sorry to disturb you at this late hour."

"Nana, it's you! It's alright, child. I was awake anyway. Tell me. Wait, are you hurt? Do you need my help? Tell me where you are and I will immediately come to pick you up. And call me uncle!"

Nana was touched with his concern. "Ah sorry, uncle. It is not me. I'm fine. It's justMr. Liu Jinhai is here, and he is quite drunk. I don't think he cannot come back home in his current state."

Silence.

"So, can you please send someone to pick him up?"

No answer.

"Uncle?"

"Ah yes! Wellcan you please do me a favor and let him stay there for the night?"

Nana blinked her eyes, "Huh?"

"Well, there is no driver available here now. They all went back to their homes and you wouldn't want me to disturb them in the middle of the night right, now do you?"

"No" I thought drivers have their own quarters to stay in the villa.

"You are a very kind girl.", he nodded at the other side.

"Um, can you come here?"

"Me? Not a chance. I'm feeling quite sick today, you know. I don't think even I am in the state to drive.", he said while coughing.

Didn't you just say that you will immediately come to pick me up if I was in trouble? How come are you sick now?

"Ohthen please take care."

"Sure, sure.", he quickly said.

"Then I think I will have to ask Chen Jianyu."

"No!", his loud voice startled her.

"Huh? Is everything okay?"

Liu Hai was sweating hard, "Hehe, you know, he had a very tiring day today. He had too many meetings and now he must be already asleep. It will be too much for him to come there, drop him here and go back home again."

"Y-yeah that is true too"

"Yes, so it will be much easier for him to stay there. He is drunk anyway so just put him to sleep."

"But I think it would be inappropriate for him to-"

"Hello? Hello Nana? Hello? I cannot hear you. Your voice is breaking. Like I said, let him stay there for the night."

"But I can hear you clearly-"

"Okay bye.", and he hung up.

Phew! That was a close call, he thought. He curled his lips upwards. I'm such a great dad! Ho ho!
