"Just a tiny bit," Ye Zhiwei gestured with her thumb and forefinger. "I only drank this little bit."

Jiang Jianian gave a cryptic laugh, “Looks like you’ve had quite a bit to drink.”

Ye Zhiwei didn't know if Jiang Jianian didn't like her drinking, so she could only say, "Because it's fruit wine and sweet, I drank a little more."

"They were drinking even when there were guys around."

"That's because I knew you'd come to pick me up." Ye Zhiwei took Jiang Jianian's hand, looked up at him and said coquettishly, "I'm not drunk."

"Do you still want to get drunk?"

Jiang Jianian is deliberately misinterpreting her words!

Ye Zhiwei angrily let go of Jiang Jianian and pretended to ignore him. Seeing that Jiang Jianian was just following behind her without coming over to hold her hand, she walked even faster.

He walked quickly, keeping his distance from her, but he didn't come up to hold her hand.

Ye Zhiwei got even angrier and walked forward in a daze. She didn't know where Jiang Jianian's car was parked, so she just walked around aimlessly. Because she was walking too fast and was a little drunk, she tripped over something on the side of the road and almost fell. It was Jiang Jianian who caught her and helped her stand up again.

Ye Zhiwei, who was being hugged, said aggrievedly, "It's all because you didn't hold my hand that I almost fell!"

She complained bitterly that Jiang Jianian was too cold-hearted. He would get angry and ignore her just because she drank some fruit wine, and he wouldn't take the initiative to hold her hand. She said he was a bad person.

Jiang Jia was silent for a moment, then took Ye Zhiwei's hand and said, "Then can I hold your hand and walk with you?"

Ye Zhiwei got even angrier. She pointed at Jiang Jianian and muttered, "What I want is for you to take my hand voluntarily, not for me to ask you to take my hand before you do!"

Slightly drunk, he spoke boldly, even pinching Jiang Jianian's face hard and gritting his teeth, saying, "You're still trying to fool me."

Jiang Jianian was indeed unhappy, especially knowing that Ye Zhiwei had drunk quite a bit of alcohol in the presence of men. What if he hadn't come or had come later and she had drunk too much and someone with ulterior motives had done something to her?

He suppressed his anger and resentment, but he couldn't bear to vent it on Ye Zhiwei, especially since she was looking at him with such a wronged expression.

Actually, they can be quite cute when they're drunk.

Jiang Jianian reached out and stroked Ye Zhiwei's face, and after a while asked, "Don't you rarely drink alcohol?"

"Yes, that's right."

“You’ve never been drunk, have you?” Jiang Jianian said again.

Ye Zhiwei obediently shook her head.

"What if you get drunk because you don't know your alcohol tolerance?" Jiang Jianian asked Ye Zhiwei, squinting at her.

Ye Zhiwei hesitated for a moment before saying, "Weren't you going to come and borrow it from me?"

"What if you were already drunk before I came over?" Jiang Jianian leaned closer to Ye Zhiwei and whispered in her ear, "You need to protect yourself. If anything happens to you, I might lose control and do things that scare you, understand?"

What scares her—

If Ye Zhiwei really gets into trouble, how could Jiang Jianian possibly tolerate actually following legal procedures to punish those who hurt her? He would only take matters into his own hands and make those people wish they were dead.

She understood what Jiang Jianian meant.

Jiang Jianian looked at Ye Zhiwei and sighed. He picked her up, walked to the car, opened the door, and gently placed her on the passenger seat.

Jiang Jianian didn't take Ye Zhiwei home directly. After consulting with Ji Shuli, he drove Ye Zhiwei to a private winery. The owner of the winery was someone Ji Shuli knew, and he had a lot of various wines that he had bought through private channels.

Ye Zhiwei was led inside by Jiang Jianian, who spent a large sum of money to buy several bottles of champagne, peach sparkling wine, and grapefruit sparkling wine. The packaging of these wines was particularly beautiful. Noticing that Ye Zhiwei's gaze lingered on them for a moment, he bought them directly.

The shopkeeper said with a smile, "These wines are all sweet, and girls love them. I only have a few bottles left. Usually, I would only buy one or two bottles from other customers, but since you are Xiao Ji's friend, I'll do you a favor and give them all to you."

After settling the bill, Jiang Jianian took Ye Zhiwei back to the villa.

Ye Zhiwei rested on the sofa in the hall to sober up, while Jiang Jianian went to the kitchen to make desserts. He made mousse and white jade rolls with peach wine, and after hesitating for a moment, he also made chocolates with liqueur fillings.

While Jiang Jianian was making desserts in the kitchen, Ye Zhiwei was sobering up. Because the fruit wine she drank today had a very low alcohol content, Ye Zhiwei was gradually becoming sober.

She had just completely sobered up when she saw Jiang Jianian come out of the kitchen with sparkling wine and some delicious-looking pastries.

She hadn't had any of Jiang Jianian's pastries in a long time!

Ye Zhiwei immediately stood up. Before Jiang Jianian could even put the chocolates on the table, she secretly grabbed one and put it in her mouth. "A liqueur-filled chocolate?"

She ate another white jade roll, "The white jade roll tastes like pomelo."

The rich aroma of the cake and pastries overpowered the wine itself, leaving only the lingering fragrance of grapefruit after the initial sweetness.

Ye Zhiwei guessed, "This also includes a bar?"

Jiang Jianian nodded.

Ye Zhiwei laughed and said, "Why are you buying wine and using it to make desserts?"

"I'll let you get drunk once," Jiang Jianian said calmly. "Get drunk once to experience your alcohol tolerance, and next time you'll know roughly how much you can't drink anymore."

Jiang Jianan, who was deeply worried about Ye Zhiwei, began to pour peach wine for her.

The peach wine has a relatively high alcohol content, but because it is very sweet, the alcohol taste is not strong. Ye Zhiwei took a sip and she really didn't expect that wine these days would be so sweet.

I don't know how Jiang Jianian made the cake, but it was sweet, and the aftertaste wasn't from alcohol but from the fruity fragrance left by the sparkling wine.

Ye Zhiwei started to feel a little dizzy.

She told Jiang Jianian, "I feel like I'm about to get drunk, I can't drink anymore."

Jiang Jianian poured Ye Zhiwei another glass of wine without changing his expression, and said, "Keep drinking."

His reasons were too high-sounding, and Ye Zhiwei thought they made sense. Taking advantage of this drunkenness, she knew roughly how much she had drunk before she was about to lose consciousness. Without thinking too much, she drank two or three more glasses. At this point, her consciousness began to wander. Unlike when she was slightly drunk and excitedly acting coquettish, she became particularly obedient and almost completely followed Jiang Jianian's orders.

Jiang Jianian smiled and made her drink another glass. Ye Zhiwei felt like she was about to black out. She didn't even know when she changed into a nightgown, a wine-red spaghetti strap nightgown.

She was completely drunk and collapsed on the sofa.

Jiang Jianian walked forward step by step, kneeling on the sofa with his long legs. He lowered his head and kissed Ye Zhiwei's collarbone. He was holding an opened bottle of champagne, which he poured onto Ye Zhiwei's shoulder. The pink champagne stained Ye Zhiwei's fair skin red, which made the ferocity in Jiang Jianian's eyes even stronger. He kissed the champagne on Ye Zhiwei's shoulder somewhat roughly, leaving pink marks on her fair skin, whether from the champagne or the kisses, it was hard to tell.

The boy stared at Ye Zhiwei, narrowed his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "Ye Zhiwei, do you know? If you get drunk, a bad guy like me will take advantage of you."
