Chapter 70 Ling Rui is crying

Huai Jun didn't expect that even after the marriage contract was dissolved for so long, he still subconsciously called Sheng Ran his wife.

Even though I had been deliberately avoiding this issue for a while, the thing I least wanted to happen still happened.

Huaijun closed his eyes in regret, and decided to go all out, and forced himself to say what he hadn't finished.

"I suddenly remembered that Zuixianlou adds a brightly colored, unnamed flower during the winemaking process. They claim it enhances the aroma and color."

Sheng Ran was originally embarrassed by his calling her "wife", but when they suddenly talked about business, she quickly calmed down and her expression became serious.

Huaijun stayed in that dungeon for a full six months and must have seen the dirtiest and most secretive things in the building.

What he said couldn't be false. There was a problem with the wine in Zuixianlou, and perhaps the root cause lay in this flower.

She has a special sensitivity to plants and will definitely be able to find out the truth.

[Okay, I understand.]

She held Huaijun's hand without any hesitation, and let go after she finished writing.

But the tingling sensation still stimulated Huaijun, and he suddenly had an idea to call her that name again.

——Is he really drunk?

Huaijun's ears turned a little red, but luckily she managed to hold it back, otherwise she would have lost this face.

Initial progress has been made in wine making. If we put it into mass production tomorrow and let it sit for a day or two, we can take it out and slap Zuixianlou in the face!

Sheng Ran became excited just thinking about it.

But the beastly husbands were exhausted after a whole day of running around, and she herself was in urgent need of rest.

[That's all for today, everyone go back to sleep.]

She then went on to put out the silent burning firewood.

But the raven took the initiative and said, "You guys go back. I'll stay here and continue making wine."

After observing for a long time, he has understood the principles of the entire wine-making process.

There aren't many technical operations involved. He just needs to keep an eye on the distillation process to make sure there are no mistakes.

Ravens require very little sleep, almost none at all, so it's perfect for them to continue preparing the wine at night.

Sheng Ran was a little hesitant. She knew that Raven wanted to do more for her, but she still needed to rest no matter what.

"Don't worry, Master." Raven's gaze fell on her, and his tone softened unconsciously. "If I feel tired, a short nap will refresh me. You can go to sleep peacefully."

He urged Sheng Ran to go back to her room, and the other beastly husbands also looked more concerned.

There is no longer a tense competitive relationship, and everyone is now prioritizing Sheng Ran's affairs.

"Then I'll leave it to you." Pei Xiaoxing nodded, "If you can't hold on, ask me to take over."

It was a rare moment of unity, and Sheng Ran curled the corners of her lips in satisfaction. She glanced to the side and suddenly stopped moving.

Ling Rui grabbed the pottery jar at some point and poured himself half a bowl.

When I noticed him, he was sipping his wine slowly, his Adam's apple rolling faster and faster, and the red bloodshot in his eyes gradually climbed up to the whites of his eyes.

By the time Sheng Ran reacted, he was already slumped by the fire, holding the clay pot. His golden hair was a mess and stuck to his sweaty forehead. Even the ends of his hair, which usually stood up, were hanging limply.

Sheng Ran went crazy—hadn’t he vowed that he would never get drunk even if he drank a thousand cups?

Sheng Ran reached out to grab the pottery jar, but he grabbed her wrist.

Ling Rui's palms were incredibly hot, and his drunken eyes were glued to her face, with a directness and heat that was never there normally, like a young animal that had let down its guard.

He suddenly rubbed her hand with his cheek, "Wife..."

The others all turned their heads away with strange expressions.

Ling Rui actually got drunk and started acting crazy? It was unbearable to watch!

Ling Rui burped, his voice vague but remarkably clear, "You've already picked out the other beastly husbands. When will it be my turn..."

When Sheng Ran heard this, her face turned red.

What's with the flipping cards? Aren't they taking turns on duty? Why does Ling Rui make it sound like she's having a blast every night, favoring someone every day?

Huaijun felt a strange sense of sadness in his heart. Knowing that this topic had nothing to do with him, he left without saying a word.

Pei Xiaoxing gritted his teeth and finally pulled the drunkard up from the ground. "Wife, I'll take him back. Please don't take his nonsense to heart."

He was originally thinking of continuing to sleep with his wife tonight, but damn Ling Rui suddenly did this to ruin his good plans!

The more Pei Xiaoxing thought about it, the angrier he became, with anger burning faintly in his heart.

Using a force that Ling Rui could not resist, he dragged Ling Rui away.

Sheng Ran waved goodbye to Raven and was about to leave, but found that he was staring at her silently.

His eyes were burning, but he had no intention of speaking.

Sheng Ran even suspected that he was the one who was mute.

At this moment, Raven suddenly grabbed her hand and rubbed it gently with his face, imitating Ling Rui's previous action.

Sheng Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Why were these beastly husbands so competitive?

Do you even want to compare this?

But the next second, Raven suddenly lowered his head and pressed his thin lips against hers.

Raven kissed the back of her hand.

It was fast, but not light at all. She could clearly feel his breath falling on her skin, warm, in stark contrast to the coolness of his lips.

"Good night, my wife."

He addressed his wife as master, not as master.

Sheng Ran's body suddenly stiffened, and she hurriedly shook off Raven's hand and ran back to the room.

What happened to these beastly husbands recently?

Why are the looks in her eyes getting weirder and weirder!

Sheng Ran quickly asked the system to check their blackening values.

Pei Xiaoxing became very slow after it dropped to 5, and now it remains at 4; Ling Rui only has 10 left; Raven's remains unchanged, but his love value has increased a lot; Tu Shanyi is like a dead person, and none of his values ​​have moved.

As for Huaijun, no information about him can be found in the system.

Everything was still moving in the right direction, but for some reason, Sheng Ran always felt that something was wrong.

It seemed as if something had escaped her control.

Sheng Ran took a shower, changed her clothes, and lay on the bed, thinking about what happened throughout the day, but she couldn't fall asleep.

I even started to worry about Ling Rui again.

Judging from the way he looked just now, he was probably completely drunk. Wouldn't he have a headache when he woke up the next day?

However, didn’t the monkey beast we met in front of Zuixian Tower today say that her herbs can help with hangovers?

Sheng Ran was really worried, so she lifted the quilt, took a bag of tea leaves, and went to Ling Rui's room.

Before I knocked on the door, I heard intermittent voices from inside, "Wife... don't leave me..."

Sheng Ran couldn't help but find it funny. This lion still had her in its mind?

I remember that he wasn't like this during the first few days after he came here! At that time, Ling Rui even wished she would die.

There was something wrong with the sound coming from the room, low and hoarse. Sheng Ran paused at the door for a moment, wanting to continue exploring, but Ling Rui suddenly began to mutter excitedly, "Such a familiar floral scent... Is that my wife? Where is my wife!"

I didn't expect that he could smell it through a door. This is not a lion's nose, it must be a dog's nose!

Sheng Ran couldn't help laughing, and finally opened the door with the spare key.

The beast on the bed immediately noticed her approach. With blurry eyes, he gently stroked her cheek with his fingers, his movements as clumsy as if he was touching fragile butterfly wings. "Am I dreaming? I actually saw my wife..."

Sheng Ran was stunned.

Her wrist was burning from his grip, and the faint moonlight fell on the corners of his crimson eyes. Sheng Ran could clearly see the pair of eyes covered by the water color.

—Finally realized where the quirk in his voice came from.

Ling Rui was actually crying.

...But why?

What has he been sad about these days?
