Chapter 850: Love Talk: Are You Smiling Because of Me?

A certain someone’s courage was commendable.

Xu Yuanfei’s fingertips trembled slightly, and the wine spilled out slightly. She smiled bitterly, not knowing how to answer.

Jing Hanchuan’s face darkened completely, but Sheng Aiyi burst out laughing.

“Uncle, I’ll drink it then. Please.” Xu Yuanfei smiled bitterly.

The alcohol content was quite high. When the wine entered her throat, it was a little choking.

When Jing Hanchuan reached out to stop her, it was already too late. Seeing that she was burning red, he brought her a glass of water. “Don’t drink anymore.”

“Yeah, drink less. I’ll go get you some fruit juice.” Sheng Aiyi didn’t expect her to move so quickly. She looked like a pretty girl, but she was refreshing when drinking.

The Jing family drank yellow wine. A certain big shot liked alcohol when he was young. This wine was very strong, and many people couldn’t stand it. Although Xu Yuanfei’s face was a little red, she looked fine.

“No need, Auntie.” Xu Yuanfei smiled and shook her head.

“Can you drink it?” A certain big shot raised his eyebrows.

“Yeah.” Xu Yuanfei nodded. Her grandfather liked to drink alcohol, and she had followed him since she was young, so she could drink a little.

“Then, drink some more with me.”

The big shot liked straightforward people. Seeing that she wasn’t pretentious, he had a good impression of her, unlike his son, who never drank with him.

But he was even more certain that this girl was very formidable. No wonder his son couldn’t withstand her.

“Can you really drink?” Jing Hanchuan didn’t know how much Xu Yuanfei could drink. He was worried that she would get drunk and let it slip when she got home. When the time came…

Master Xu would probably come to their house overnight and smash the door.

“It’s alright.” Xu Yuanfei wanted to leave a good impression on the Jing parents, so she naturally had to accompany them.

When the big shot was at home, drinking was strictly controlled. At his age, it was inevitable that he would get headaches. Usually, Sheng Aiyi didn’t let him drink, but today was special, so she didn’t restrain him.

A certain big shot was very happy. Looks like I can often find Miss Xu to drink in the future.

If Sheng Aiyi knew that a certain someone wanted to find a daughter-in-law just to accompany him to drink, she would probably kick him out of bed.

“But Little Xu, I’m still very grateful to you. Hanchuan’s temperament is really not something ordinary people can stand.

“He’s unsociable, eccentric, aloof…”

Xu Yuanfei listened to him quietly and tilted her head to size up the person beside her. What is he saying about his son?

“Stop drinking and eat more!” Sheng Aiyi picked up a piece of celery for him, meaning for him to shut up.

A certain big shot coughed twice. “Little Xu, let’s have another glass.

“I still have to toast you. It’ll be hard on you in the future.”

Xu Yuanfei didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. What does he mean?

Why does it seem like he wants to kick Hanchuan to me?

Jing Hanchuan remained silent. Ever since he became an adult, his father had started asking him, “You’re an adult now. It’s time to work and move out…”

He wished he could kick his son out before he was satisfied. He kept feeling that his son was disturbing his happy life.

The rumors of him doting on his wife and tormenting his son were not for nothing.

During the meal, Sheng Aiyi smiled and said, “Little Xu, where do you live? I’ll send you back later…”

“I’ll send her back,” Jing Hanchuan interrupted.

Actually, Sheng Aiyi had her own selfish motives. First, she wanted to talk to her more. Second, she wanted to inquire about her family members and their temperaments in preparation for the marriage proposal in the future.

She couldn’t let the same mistake happen again.

Sheng Aiyi didn’t say anything. She wouldn’t do anything to Xu Yuanfei. He had been sick for the past few days and had been lying in bed all day. Now that Xu Yuanfei was here, he was energetic and clingy.

It was rare for a certain big shot to drink freely, so he kept clinking glasses with Xu Yuanfei.

Everyone thought that with the big shot’s alcohol tolerance, Xu Yuanfei would definitely die first…

But an hour later…

A certain big shot almost put his arm around Xu Yuanfei’s shoulder and called her little brother.

Jing Hanchuan reached out his hand and touched his brow. He’s calling his future daughter-in-law brother. That’s enough.

But he was obviously drunk. He actually started to talk about his process of wooing his wife with Xu Yuanfei.

“… Hey, do you know how Hanchuan’s mother and I established our relationship?”

“How?” Xu Yuanfei was very cooperative.

“At the time, she was shy and always avoided me. Finally, I kidnapped her home…”

Sheng Aiyi reached out to support her forehead, wanting to stuff his mouth with something.

Xu Yuanfei had heard her grandfather mention this before.

“Then… I kissed her.

“Everyone says that if a woman likes you, she won’t be angry. If she’s angry…

“Anyway, I’ve already kissed her. Who cares? In any case, I didn’t suffer a loss!”

Sheng Aiyi gritted her teeth in anger. “You’re drunk!”

“I’m not!” a certain big shot shouted.

“You’re really drunk.” Sheng Aiyi pressed down on his restless arm.

A certain big shot turned his head and saw that the person holding him was his wife. He pursed his lips and said, “I did drink too much.”

Xu Yuanfei lowered her head and smiled. This big shot is too cute.

***

Because a certain big shot had drunk too much, the meal ended early.

Sitting in the car, Xu Yuanfei recalled what the big shot of the Jing family had said and couldn’t help smiling.

“What did you think of?” Jing Hanchuan tilted his head to look at her. The car was driving, and the shadows of the street lights brushed past her face. She wasn’t drunk, but her face was very red and indescribably beautiful.

“I just feel that your dad is different from what I thought…”

During the day, he had still been putting on airs in the store. She didn’t expect that after drinking too much, he would actually become a wife-flaunting maniac and keep telling her about his daily love life with Sheng Aiyi.

The two of them were sitting in the back of the car, with a half-person gap between them. Jing Hanchuan reached out and grabbed her hand on her knee.

He held it gently, and his body naturally…

… leaned over gently.

While driving, the driver occasionally glanced at the rearview mirror from the corner of his eye. Then he saw Sixth Master’s snake-like movements. Why did he move to sit beside her?

Then he heard a sentence that even men would think was extremely sweet. Sixth Master held the young lady’s hand and said…

“I thought you were smiling because…

“You were thinking of me.”

F*ck, let me die, okay? Sixth Master, can you pay attention to your image?

Xu Yuanfei’s face was already very red from drinking. At this moment, she felt that her body was about to combust.

Then she saw a certain someone’s face getting closer and closer…

Then a hint of warmth landed on her lips.

Her head was spinning.

The driver had worked in the Jing family for more than twenty years and had watched Jing Hanchuan grow up. Sixth Master had finally fallen in love. He was gratified.

The car stopped a hundred meters away from the Xu residence, and they got out of the car.

Xu Yuanfei didn’t even know that the two of them were actually so intimate along the way.

“Do you really not need me to send you back?” Jing Hanchuan had thought about it. Master Xu would stab him sooner or later.

“No need.”

“You drank.”

“It’s alright. I can walk…”

“I’ll drop you off. Send me a message when you get home.”

Jing Hanchuan watched her disappear from his sight before getting into the car and waiting for her message.

***

Xu Yuanfei’s legs were indeed a little weak, but it wasn’t because she drank. She reached out to touch the corner of her mouth. When she thought of the scene in the car just now, her face and ears started to turn red again.

Before she reached the door, she felt someone pat her back.

Then she heard her brother’s teasing voice and was scared out of her wits.

“Big Sis, what are you doing? You’re smiling while walking alone like a fool.”

“N-nothing.” Xu Yuanfei subconsciously looked behind her. She couldn’t see the Jing family’s car anymore.

“Did you drink?” Xu Yao had just finished gathering with his colleagues when he saw his sister smiling like a lunatic as she walked.

“I went out with friends and drank a little.”

“Oh.” Xu Yao didn’t suspect anything.

After returning home, Xu Yuanfei called Jing Hanchuan and talked about this.

“How’s your relationship with your brother?” Jing Hanchuan was still wondering if he should develop an alliance first, preferably one that could say good things about him in front of Master Xu.

“My brother and I…” Xu Yuanfei bit her lip.

“He always liked to mess with me when we were children, and we often fought.”

“I can tell.” When he was young, this brat also liked to deliberately anger him.

“Back then, I often beat him to tears.” Xu Yuanfei pursed her lips. “Now, he’s taller and stronger than me, so I can’t win.”

Then she heard Jing Hanchuan’s low voice on the other end…

“I’ll help you in the future.”

Xu Yuanfei spoke exceptionally happily. Even the Xu family members saw some clues…

Thus, over the next few days, Master Xu kept going to the dessert store from time to time to see why she was acting strangely.

But Jing Hanchuan’s body was recuperating. It was cold, so he hardly went out. In addition, Fu Chen and Song Fengwan’s engagement banquet was on the agenda, and Xu Yuanfei was focused on making desserts…

Three days before the engagement banquet, a cold wave came from the north. The entire capital was freezing, and there seemed to be an indescribable cold current surging.
