Chapter 116 Chi Yanzhou: Which bastard spread rumors about him?

As the wine jar spun around on the table and returned to his hands, a third of it had already been emptied. Jiang Zhicheng's heart was bleeding.

He didn't even pour himself a full glass.

I poured only half of it out before I wanted to put the lid on.

Chi Shaokang chuckled and teased him, "Old Jiang, what are you doing? Why don't you fill your glass? Are you reluctant to part with it?"

"Who was it that said we'd be drinking this wine today, and that there would be plenty?"

Jiang Zhicheng glared at him: Old Chi, you dishonest bastard! Such a good thing, he didn't say so, making me bring it out to entertain guests, and he even boasted that, now I can't even hide it secretly.

He completely forgot that although Chi Shaokang hadn't explained exactly how good the wine was, his actions clearly showed that it was excellent.

Jiang Zhicheng himself didn't believe it, thinking that even if Xia Yuhuan's homemade wine was delicious, it wouldn't be anything special.

"Shut up, okay? This wine is so good that I wouldn't even drink it myself. Giving each of you two a glass is more than enough, alright?"

"There's only one jar, I'll definitely keep the rest for myself to drink slowly," Jiang Zhicheng said matter-of-factly.

Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this, pointing at Jiang Zhicheng and making fun of him.

"Old Jiang, look at you, so stingy, like a miser."

"Exactly, shouldn't good things be shared by everyone?"

"You invited us here as guests, but you won't even let us drink to our hearts' content?"

Jiang Zhicheng didn't care that he was being laughed at; he just kept holding onto the wine jar.

"Anyway, I don't care. You guys have drunk a lot of my wine. I need to keep some for myself. You can laugh at me if you want."

He acted as if he were a miserly slacker, indifferent to everyone's ridicule.

Seeing this, Gao Xiaoxiao felt helpless and tugged at his sleeve: "Old Jiang, don't be like this. It's rare for everyone to get together and have fun. You won't even let them drink to their heart's content. Aren't you afraid people will laugh at you?"

"Let it be a joke, I don't care." Jiang Zhicheng seemed determined to protect his wine.

Seeing this, Xia Yuhuan quickly said, "Teacher, you and all the uncles, please just drink. I still have some of this wine at home, and I've also brewed quite a lot recently. If you like it, I'll bring you another jar later."

Jiang Zhicheng's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "Really? You really still have some? You'll really send me a jar later?"

Xia Yuhuan nodded with a smile, "It's rare for everyone to get together and have fun, so just drink as much as you want, but you can only enjoy yourself to the fullest, and you absolutely cannot get completely drunk."

"Old Jiang, look at you, you're not even as sensible as your little apprentice."

"Give it to me, look how stingy you are."

While Jiang Zhicheng wasn't paying attention, someone stepped forward, snatched the wine jar, and ran away.

When Jiang Zhicheng learned that Xia Yuhuan would send him another jar, he no longer acted like a miser.

He didn't chase after the wine that was taken from him. Instead, he held up his glass and said, "Then everyone can enjoy a good meal today thanks to my little apprentice."

Those invited to Jiang Zhicheng's home were all very close relatives, and they had mostly been laughing and joking earlier, so upon hearing this, they all raised their glasses in celebration.

Xia Yuhuan sat to the side, watching as these people, who were either deans, vice deans, or other big shots outside, sat beside her, shedding their imposing and noble airs, drinking and laughing like ordinary people. She couldn't help but laugh along.

In reality, no matter what status or position a person holds, in front of their familiar and trusted relatives and friends, they are just an ordinary person.

They have the everyday life of ordinary people, and the joys and sorrows of ordinary people; they seem perfectly ordinary.

Gao Xiaoxiao, worried that Xia Yuhuan would feel uncomfortable, leaned closer to her and asked, "Xiaohuan, were you scared by them? Let me tell you, don't mind them. This is how it is when these old men get together, always bragging and drinking."

Xia Yuhuan smiled and said, "Master's wife, I wasn't scared. I just think it's nice that Master has so many good friends who can get together to chat and have a drink."

Gao Xiaoxiao laughed along with her.

"Yes, true friends are hard to find in life. Your teacher is a man of noble character and loyalty. He is surrounded by good people. He is truly a good person."

Xia Yuhuan and Gao Xiaoxiao chatted together, while Jiang Zhicheng and his group of men drank and talked until they were all satisfied before leaving.

Upon returning home, Xia Yuhuan first went to see He Xiaojie.

When she entered the room, He Xiaojie was lying on the bed reading a comic book.

Seeing Xia Yuhuan come in, he happily rushed forward and threw himself into her arms, hugging her tightly.

After what happened yesterday, He Xiaojie became even more attached to Xia Yuhuan.

Xia Yuhuan looked at He Xiaojie with tenderness, bent down and picked him up, walking towards the bed.

"Has Xiao Jie been behaving well at home today? Is his hand still hurting?"

He Xiaojie nodded first, then shook his head, his eyes narrowed and sparkling as he stared at Xia Yuhuan.

Xia Yuhuan's heart melted under his gaze.

Who wouldn't love a sweet, soft, and well-behaved baby?

She leaned forward and kissed He Xiaojie's cheek.

"Oh my, my precious son is so well-behaved and cute. I love you so much."

He Xiaojie's eyes sparkled as she praised him.

He blinked gently, seemingly a little embarrassed. After a moment of hesitation, he quickly leaned forward and kissed Xia Yuhuan.

Xia Yuhuan was overjoyed by his kisses.

She's so lucky to have such a sweet and adorable baby, and to have become a mother without pain.

After chatting with He Xiaojie for a while and learning that he had already washed up, Xia Yuhuan told He Xiaojie to rest first.

Goodnight, my little Jie.

Xia Yuhuan gently kissed his forehead, tucked him in, and then turned off the light and left his room.

He Xiaojie opened her eyes after she left.

She raised her hand and touched the forehead that Xia Yuhuan had kissed, her eyes filled with a joyful smile.

He opened his mouth and silently said, "Goodnight, Mom."

On the other hand, Xia Yuhuan was unaware that in He Xiaojie's heart, she had risen to an unparalleled position.

After returning to her room, she washed up first, and then lay down on the bed, routinely recounting her experiences of the day to Chi Yanzhou.

She couldn't help but laugh when talking about Jiang Zhicheng's adorable behavior of protecting the wine.

"No wonder they say men are boys until they die. I didn't expect that even at his age, the way he protected the wine was still quite adorable."

"I wonder what you'll be like when you wake up?"

"I heard before that you are an iceberg that never melts, a flower on a high mountain, to be admired from afar but not to be touched, and that you have a cold and ruthless personality and are not easy to get close to."

"I don't know if these rumors are true."

“If it’s true, then we definitely can’t go on like this. I don’t want to spend every day with a silent, cold ice block.”

Xia Yuhuan muttered and reached out to poke Chi Yanzhou's cheek.

"If you were really like the legends say, would I still want to give it a try?"

Upon hearing this, Chi Yanzhou felt as if the sky had fallen.

No, which bastard is spreading rumors about him?

The worst part is that it even reached his wife's ears.

If he finds out, he'll kill that bastard who spread the rumors!
