Chapter 43
Besides, lan had removed his suit jacket, and a few buttons on his shirt were
undone. With his sleeves rolled up, his fair skin and well-defined arm muscles
were exposed.
Sage promptly stopped herself from staring. She couldn’t afford to be infatuated with his attractiveness again.
Shooting him a cold look, she grumbled, “What are you standing here for? You gave me a fright!”
lan wasn’t angry. Instead, his tone was gentle as he replied, “Weren’t you seeing Grandma off? Why did you come here? I’ve looked everywhere for you…”
Based on his words and expression, Sage confirmed that lan had had a bit too
much to drink.
His usual image was one of swift decisiveness, even in situations like this where he seemed a bit slow in reacting. Moreover, he wouldn’t normally say something as silly as having looked for her everywhere.
There was once in her previous life that lan had gotten drunk as well. However, he had only slept it off upon getting home instead of making such a fuss.
At the thought of this, Sage eased up a bit. But just to be sure, she called Terry to help arrange for someone to pick them up.
“Alright, Mrs. Holcomb,” Terry responded before hanging up.
“You still haven’t told me why you’re here.” Ian held her arm and insisted on an
answer.
Tiana had warned Sage about how scary people could become when drunk. So, she didn’t argue with lan in that state and simply said, “I was just bored and took
a walk.”
“Why are you bored?” lan’s slightly intoxicated gaze was fixed on her, and his expression was serious.
Sage thought that if she recorded lan’s silly and cute behavior right now, she

could probably extort a billion from him.
At her silence, lan unexpectedly reached out and pulled her into an embrace.” Why aren’t you talking?”
“lan, let me go!” Sage demanded as she tried to break free.
But lan held her tighter. He felt displeased. “You’re being rude. How come you’re not calling me ‘Tany’ now? Let me hear it.”
Sage was momentarily stunned, then found it somewhat funny and poignant at the same time.
Eventually, she lost her temper. “Tan, do you think it’s fun to act crazy after drinking?”
Sage forcefully pushed him away and added, “Or do you feel uneasy because I haven’t been chasing after you every day lately?”
Call him “lany”? Like hell! He never cared when she used to call him that all the time. In fact, he would frown so deeply as if he found it incredibly distasteful!
So how dare he ask her to call him that now?
lan stumbled back a few steps as Sage pushed him. His eyes cleared slightly, but
there was still a hint of drunkenness.
Seeing Sage’s angry expression, lan felt more annoyed.

And so, lan had softened his tone, acted extra gentle, and even wrapped his

around Sage’s waist despite her resistance. Yet, it was completely useless.
Conversely, Sage was even angrier than before!

as he stepped forward.
After a few steps, he looked back at Sage. He said slowly and indifferently, “Are you planning to stand there all night?”
