Jono saw Jin Chengyan and Ruan Shengyu talking.
Watching the two of them standing there like a perfect couple, completely unbothered, made her heart ache.
She was the one listed as his wife on the marriage certificate! Yet here he was, so openly standing with another woman!
Jono turned away, refusing to look at Jin Chengyan any longer.
Unbeknownst to her, several empty glasses had accumulated around her; she had lost track of how much she had drunk.
Her tolerance for alcohol was questionable—she wasn't a lightweight, but she could only handle so much.
Sun Wen had left early because her child was crying non-stop. Jono had assured her it was fine; her husband was here!
But where was her husband?
The banquet wasn't over yet, but Jono decided to leave early, standing alone at the entrance waiting for a taxi.
Fortunately, due to the cold weather, the reporters waiting outside had dispersed. Otherwise, being photographed alone like this would surely land her on the front page tomorrow.
The headline would read—"New Heiress Stranded at Her Own Hotel Waiting for a Taxi."
Paired with a photo of Jono in this state, it would be quite the attention grabber.
“Ugh—” Jono burped, feeling chilly, partly from the cold and partly from the alcohol. She hugged her arms tightly, wondering why the taxi was taking so long.
The doorman felt a pang of sympathy and approached her. “Young Mistress, it’s so cold out here. Why don’t you wait inside? I’ll come get you when the car arrives.”
Jono turned around and saw a young man. She giggled, "No need... no need... just let the wind blow... to wake me up..." Jono was drunk, waving her hands with a smile still on her face.
She was wearing ten-centimeter high heels, and her swaying figure almost caused her to slip. Fortunately, she still had a bit of awareness left and managed not to fall.
At that moment, someone quickly approached and draped a black trench coat over Jono, wrapping her tightly from neck to calf.
"Third Young Master," the doorman called respectfully.
Yan Beiting did not respond but looked down at Jono, who seemed like she would topple over with just a gust of wind.
Drunk like this, the Jin Family didn’t even send a car over; what kind of wealthy family was this?
"I'll take you home," Yan Beiting said with a serious tone. He glanced at the time; why hadn’t the driver brought the car yet?
Jono's body trembled from the cold. Why couldn’t she learn to take better care of herself?
"Mr. Yan... it's really no trouble... I can go back by myself... really..." Jono struggled to free herself from Yan Beiting's arm, wanting to prove that she wasn’t drunk and attempting to walk straight ahead!
Yan Beiting felt his heart race, fearing she would fall!
Without saying another word, he pulled Jono into his embrace.
"Jono..." Yan Beiting called her name but found himself unable to say anything more.
His expression genuinely surprised the doorman; it seemed Yan San's feelings for the Jin Family Young Mistress were a bit excessive...
Just then, Yan Beiting's car arrived. He helped Jono into the vehicle, and when he turned back to close the door, he shot a glance at the doorman, making him shrink back in fear.
But after all, it was an establishment under the Jin Family, and the doorman felt that it wasn't right for the Young Mistress to be taken away by someone else.
The doorman immediately went into the lobby and searched around until he spotted A-Shan playing on his phone in the lounge.
"A-Shan, the Young Mistress just left with Yan San, and she was drunk..."
A-Shan quickly put down his phone and walked over, giving the doorman a light tap on the head. "Why are you only telling me this now?" After saying that, A-Shan rushed out of the lounge to find their young master!

"Ugh..." Jono covered her mouth, feeling utterly miserable. She had no idea where she was or how much she had drunk. Where had she come from, and where was she going?
"Stop the car!" Yan Beiting looked at Jono, realizing she was about to be sick.
Sure enough, as soon as the car came to a halt, Jono opened the door and rushed to the back of the car, throwing up violently.
Having eaten very little and drinking throughout the night, after expelling all that liquid, her throat felt sour.
She felt like her stomach was twisted in knots.
"Rinse your mouth," Yan Beiting handed her a bottle of mineral water.
Jono didn't hesitate; she took it and gulped down a mouthful but ended up choking!
"Cough cough cough..." She spat out the water and began to cough uncontrollably, looking quite ridiculous.
Yan Beiting gently patted Jono's back through his shirt. "Did you drink so much just to make yourself feel awful? If you don't take care of yourself, how can you expect others to care for you?"
With his back turned to Yan Beiting, Jono heard his advice.
Indeed, if one does not love oneself properly, why should anyone else love them?
"Jono, love should make you a better person, not ruin yourself. If you're willing, I will give you a chance to become better," Yan Beiting said, extending his hand in front of Jono, waiting for her to take it.
He would use all his love to provide her with protection and comfort.
Jono gazed at Yan Beiting's broad hand and could imagine how warm it was and how much protection it could offer her.
But she… smiled lightly, standing straight with a hint of intoxication in her eyes.
"You are Yan Beiting… If I were with you… Jin Chengyan would see… and he wouldn't be happy…" she said, her words slurred with seven parts drunkenness as she even took off Yan Beiting's coat that she was wearing.
"He wouldn't be happy…" Jono returned the coat to Yan Beiting, repeating that Jin Chengyan would not be pleased. "I don’t want to see him unhappy..."
Jono laughed until tears streamed down her face.
She had never experienced anything like this before. She liked Jin Chengyan so much that even knowing he didn’t have feelings for her, and that he had never truly cared for her, she still wanted to love him this way.
She wanted to see him happy; everything else didn’t matter to Jono.
She felt that this was love!
It was different from the affection she had for Shen Fengye.
After learning about Shen Fengye's betrayal with Ni Yue, she felt heartbroken over the years of friendship with Ni Yue, while for Shen Fengye, she just wished to distance herself from him as soon as possible.
Now, Jin Chengyan felt a sharp pain in her heart.
She pressed her hand against her chest. "Jin Chengyan... I don't want to see him unhappy." It didn't matter if she was unhappy herself.
"Jono!" Yan Beiting scolded, realizing how low Jono had sunk.
He grabbed Jono's hand, mostly out of concern that she might catch a cold or feel unwell.
But Jono shook off his hand.
"I want to go home." Back to Jin Mansion, perhaps Jin Chengyan would return tonight. He wouldn't be with Ruan Shengyu; he had said that as long as their marriage wasn't over, he wouldn't have any rumors with Ruan Shengyu.
Yan Beiting frowned and finally said, "Alright, I'll take you home."
"No need... I can go back by myself... Jin Chengyan will be unhappy if she sees me with you..." Jono didn't even know why Jin Chengyan would be unhappy about her being with him.
She thought maybe Jin Chengyan would be jealous!
But why would she be jealous? Jealous of her and Yan Beiting?
Haha, how ridiculous.
With a slight buzz from the alcohol, Jono took one step at a time, determined to go home alone and not let Yan Beiting accompany her.
Yan Beiting watched Jono's figure with a frown. He really wanted to rush over, pick her up in his arms, and throw her into the car. He didn't care if she wanted to go home; he just wanted to take her to his place and force her into his world.
But in the end, Yan Beiting sat in the car and instructed the driver, "Follow her."
Jono had no idea how long she had been walking or how she had gotten there, but she found herself at Jin Mansion.
She felt that her memory was quite impressive!
Just as she reached the entrance, a black Bentley pulled up beside her.
Having walked for so long in high heels and in the freezing cold, she was already in a bad mood. How could someone park like that?
As soon as the person in the car got out, Jono said to him, "How do you drive? Don't you know... I'm the Jin Family Young Mistress? You... hit me, and be careful that Jin Chengyan won't let you off..."
Jono pointed at the newcomer, but the cold hadn't sobered her up enough to see who it was clearly.
It seemed like there were two... or maybe three people?
"Don't think I'm afraid of you just because there are more of you! This is my husband's family! I'll call someone... I will call someone!" Clearly drunk, she blurted out whatever came to her mind.
Jin Chengyan looked at the woman in front of him, whose cheeks were already flushed from the cold. She was drunk and still had a certain charm about her.
But unfortunately, she had a poor tolerance for alcohol.
"Young Master..." A-Shan rubbed his temples. This was what their Young Mistress was like when she was drunk.
"Alright, you go back first," Jin Chengyan said to A-Shan, his expression showing a hint of helplessness.
"Yes." A-Shan didn't ask Jin Chengyan if he needed to go back to pick up Ruan Shengyu; he felt that was none of his business. His only responsibility was to ensure that the Young Mistress was taken care of.
With that, A-Shan left.
Jono discovered that the car was gone, and so was the person, but there was still a man in front of her. Upon closer inspection, he was quite handsome.
"Hey there, good-looking... you really shouldn't be doing such immoral things... just hurry and leave... my husband is coming back, and he won't let you off easily!" Husband?
Jono felt a wave of self-mockery; she had no idea where her husband was at that moment.
Jin Chengyan stepped forward and grabbed Jono's hand. "Miss, it's not safe to be out here alone and drunk at this hour!" He intended to tease her.
Or perhaps, he wanted to let the person who had parked the car nearby see.
Since he wanted to watch, let him see enough; let him witness how the woman he liked was being embraced by someone else!
"Let go of me! My husband will see!" Jono struggled, but it was futile.
"Jono, have you forgotten me after a night of drinking? I'm your husband, the one who pinned you down on the bed last night!"
