Tomb Raider: Nine Gates Let Me Be the Group’s Pet

When Adjutant Zhang woke up, it was already dawn and the banquet was over.

But Zhang Qishan thought that the man was very drunk, so he did not wake him up and went back home first.

But when Adjutant Zhang propped himself up with his hangover head, he found that someone was holding his arm. He looked down and found Jie Rong lying beside him in dishevel.

"This... is this Miss Jie Er? What's going on... I... I can't be..." Adjutant Zhang carefully pulled out his arm, holding his head and thinking.

Xie Rong actually hadn't slept all night. She felt that Adjutant Zhang had woken up, so she pretended to be sleepy, rubbed her eyes, and stood up to look at him. "Um... Adjutant brother, you're awake..."

When Adjutant Zhang heard that Jie Rong had woken up, he quickly came out of his thoughts, put on his clothes quickly, got out of bed, and stood three meters away from Jie Rong, stammering, "Jie... Second Miss Jie... Last night... I... We... We..."

"Brother Adjutant, I know you like Sister Zhixi, not me." Jie Rong paused and said.

"I also know that you were drunk last night, so leave quickly before daybreak. Don't worry, I won't tell my big brother and big sister about this!" Jie Rong spoke before he finished asking, pretending to be understanding and thinking for him.

"Really, you'd better leave now! I won't tell anyone. Just pretend...just pretend that nothing happened last night!" Jie Rong saw him in a daze and pretended to be considerate and urged him.

At this moment, the flustered Adjutant Zhang had no time to think so much. He nodded, took his coat, hurried out of the Xie family, and quietly returned to the Zhang Mansion.

After getting up, Zhang Zixi wanted to go to Jie's house to pick up the drunk Adjutant Zhang, but when she arrived at Jie's house, she learned that he had already left, so she went back home to his room to find him.

"When did you come back? Are you sober?" Zhang Zixi pushed open the door and saw Adjutant Zhang sitting on a stool in a daze.

"I came back...in the early morning." Adjutant Zhang was thinking about what happened last night. When he turned around, he saw Zhang Zixi appear in his room and felt a little guilty.

"I'll have someone make you some sobering porridge." Zhang Zixi saw that he didn't look well and was a little worried that he was too drunk, so she turned around and asked the kitchen to make porridge.

"Xier." Adjutant Zhang called her and pulled her into his arms and held her tightly.

"what happened?"

"Can we...stay together forever?" Adjutant Zhang asked her sullenly.

"What's wrong with you? Aren't we fine?" Zhang Zixi was very puzzled by his abnormal behavior and her face was full of confusion.

"What if...what if...what if I did something wrong and we have to separate? Will you...hate me? Will you never talk to me again?"

Adjutant Zhang spoke more and more quietly, feeling extremely aggrieved.

"Didn't you just accompany your brother to attend the party at Li's house yesterday? What could you have done wrong?" Zhang Zixi looked up at him in confusion from his arms.

"I... no... no... it's okay, I mean... if..."

Adjutant Zhang originally wanted to tell Zhang Zixi about this, but he thought that if he told her, would this be the end of their relationship?

So even if... even if it was out of selfishness... it would allow him to desire it for a while longer, but in the end he still chose to keep silent and conceal it.

"I think you've drunk too much and are thinking all kinds of weird things." Zhang Zixi reached out and poked his cheek.

"Because... I like you so much." Adjutant Zhang had no choice but to smile and hug her tightly, hiding his emotions.

'I'm really scared... of losing you...' he thought to himself.

More than two months passed after that, and Xie Rong really didn't say anything.

But that was only because the calculated time had not yet arrived, and Adjutant Zhang's heart had never been at ease.

Suddenly one day, while Xie Rong was having a meal at home, she pretended to be unwell and ran to the toilet to retch.

Master Jie Jiu was concerned about his sister's health, so he immediately asked someone to find a doctor. However, even though he was a good fortune teller, he trusted his sister and did not realize that the doctor had been bribed and arranged by Jie Rong.

The doctor pretended to frown as he felt Xie Rong's pulse. Facing the anxious hearts of the Xie family, he slowly said, "Second Miss Xie is pregnant."

"What? Xiaorong, you...when did it happen?" Master Jie Jiu was shocked. He didn't understand when his younger sister had a relationship with someone.

"No...brother and sister...that...was an accident...I don't want to mention it to you guys." Jie Rong deliberately acted weak and powerless and said to Jiu Ye.

"You are such a fool, girl. No matter whether it is an accident or not, tell us quickly! Who did it? My brother and I will definitely seek justice for you!" The eldest sister of the Jie family was very anxious.

"Yes, Xiaorong, who is it? Tell big brother! Big brother will never let you suffer this injustice!" Master Jie Jiu became even angrier when he saw Jie Rong's appearance.

"Yes... yes... it was my adjutant brother... at the banquet that day... he got drunk... and..." Jie Rong pretended to be embarrassed and stammered.

"Adjutant Zhang? How... is this possible? He obviously likes... anyone with a discerning eye can see it." Master Jie Jiu became a little confused.

"Brother, do you think Xiaorong is lying? She said so, won't you seek justice for her?"

"It seems that Adjutant Zhang is nothing but a hypocritical man who pretends to be loyal and affectionate." The eldest sister of the Jie family said indignantly.

"Brother...sister...wuwu, I'm really fine...wuwu, don't blame adjutant brother." Xie Rong sobbed again as she spoke, revealing some signs of sobbing intentionally or unintentionally.

"Don't be afraid, Xiaorong. Tomorrow I will go to the Zhang residence with my brother to seek justice for you!"

When Master Jie Jiu saw Jie Rong like this, he was furious even though he had some doubts in his heart.

"Xiao Rong, take care of yourself first. Tomorrow, I will go to the Buddha's house to ask for an answer! This matter cannot be let go like this!"
