The moment the thought crossed his mind, Xu Muyao snapped back to reality and shoved the girl in front of him away with lightning speed. At the same time, he fiercely condemned himself in his heart, utterly depraved, for having such an evil thought about a child so much younger than himself!
He hurriedly turned to the side, clearing his throat awkwardly, but his voice was still hoarse. "Um, what would you like to drink? Tea or plain water?"
His reddened earlobes, his flustered eyes, and the slight bowing of his head before pushing her away—all of these were clearly seen by Jiang Ye.
He definitely has feelings for her, he definitely does!
Jiang looked at his profile and a bold idea popped into her mind, "I want to drink, the same kind as you."
Would it be easier to say things you wouldn't dare to say when you're sober, when you're slightly drunk? As the saying goes, alcohol emboldens the timid.
She pointed to the wine glass on the table, which still contained half-finished red wine.
“No way.” Xu Muyao immediately refused.
"Why?"
"A man and a woman alone in a room, and you're not even on guard, and you're even thinking about drinking. You're not just lacking in safety awareness, you're practically throwing safety awareness away like trash."

Xu Muyao felt the veins in his temples throbbing, and he pinched his brow helplessly and wearily.
"Go home if you want to drink, I won't let you here."

"I'm fine with plain water."
"Wait, I'll go pour it for you."
While he went to get water, Jiang strolled around leisurely. His home was indeed as she had imagined, neat and orderly, with spotless floors.
Just as I was about to go to the bedroom, he came over with a water glass.
"Here you go, it's warm, perfect for drinking now."
Jiang thanked him and took a sip from her cup.
Xu Muyao: "What time are you planning to go back?"
Jiang put down her cup and looked at him unhappily. "I've only been here a few minutes, and I've only had a sip of your water. I haven't even had a chance to sit down properly, and you're already trying to kick me out?"
"Didn't your uncle set a curfew for you?" he asked back.
"Yes, he's set it up, but he's completely at ease with you, as long as I go home at night."
Xu Muyao couldn't help but sneer inwardly. Was it that Director Ye was too magnanimous and trusted him too much, or did he simply not treat him as a normal man?
