Shen Xiaomin tilted his head back and gulped down a mouthful of wine. The spicy wine went down his throat, burning his chest and bringing tears to his eyes. He forced himself to drink the wine, enduring the itch in his throat.
This was his first time drinking alcohol, and the strong liquid in his mouth was stimulating his nerves.
Shen Xiaomin's dark eyes reddened, and he looked at Gu Sheng with a deep gaze, saying, "Sister is a girl, it's not good for her to drink, I'll drink for her."
elder sister?
That green tea b*tch, does she really think she's young? Does she really treat Yuan Jiang like an older sister?
Nobody would believe that!
Gu Sheng scoffed, narrowing his eyes and slightly raising his chin, speaking in a nonchalant tone: "Ah...? You don't understand, do you? Little brother, red wine, women drink it for beauty and health."
Shen Xiaomin lifted her eyelids and looked at him coldly: "Does drinking this also improve your appearance, brother?"
"..." Gu Sheng was rebuffed, clicked his tongue in disdain, and put the empty wine glass back on the tray.
Wen Yufen watched as Gu Sheng finished the drugged red wine, and the heart that had been in her throat finally settled back into her stomach, making her smile seem more genuine.
Yuan Jiang raised her hand and tucked the hair that was hanging beside her cheek behind her ear. She gave Wen Yufen a meaningful look, and the next second, she smiled and picked up the third glass of red wine on the tray and handed it to her: "Auntie, you can have a glass too."
"...Me?" Wen Yufen was dumbfounded. Looking at Yuan Jiang's forced smile, she felt a chill run down her spine and her heart pounded like a drum. This wine contained a potent aphrodisiac! To ensure its effectiveness, she had poured the entire packet evenly into these three cups of wine. Once drunk, she would lose her mind and be consumed by lust, and only doing *that* could relieve the urge!
Wen Yufen glanced at Gu Jiancai with disdain, her face growing increasingly grim. Gu Jiancai was old and incapable in that area; he couldn't even satisfy her normally. If she drank this glass of wine, she'd probably suffer terribly!
Thinking of the unbearable, gnawing pain, Wen Yufen swallowed hard, hesitatingly refusing, "Jiang... Jiang Jiang, Auntie is getting old..."
"Didn't Gu Sheng say that red wine is good for a woman's beauty and health?" Yuan Jiang's smile grew even gentler, but her tone carried a hint of coldness: "Auntie, a glass of red wine won't cause any trouble, so drink it quickly."
Wen Yufen keenly sensed the hostility the girl was showing her, and her heart skipped a beat. She couldn't understand what she had done to offend this young lady, but no matter how hard she racked her brains, she couldn't figure it out.
She cast a pleading look at Gu Jiancai, but Gu Jiancai was completely absorbed in Yuan Xiangci, chuckling and rambling on without even glancing at her.
Wen Yufen took two deep breaths. To avoid Gu Sheng noticing something was wrong, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and accept the glass of red wine that she had personally drugged.
"I...I don't like it..."
"It's just a glass of wine. What can't a girl like you who hangs out in bars every day drink?" Gu Sheng's dark, sharp eyebrows showed impatience, and his tone turned cold: "What? Is there something dirty in this drink that you're afraid to drink?!"
Wen Yufen froze, forcing herself to breathe calmly to appear less nervous, and managed a weak smile: "H-how could that be? Please be quiet, don't be angry, I'll drink it right away."
Gu Sheng stared coldly at Wen Yufen.
Yuan Jiang crossed her arms, her bright and captivating fox-like eyes now filled with a chilling darkness, staring intently at Wen Yufen. Shen Xiaomin, who was dizzy from drinking a glass of red wine, was breathing rapidly, his upturned eyes misty with pink, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down. He exhaled two deep breaths, his gaze falling on Yuan Jiang's slender and delicate neck, feeling his mouth dry.
At this point, what reason did Wen Yufen have to refuse?
She had no choice but to grit her teeth and drink the red wine in one gulp, then wiped the wine stains from the corner of her mouth and said ingratiatingly, "Keep it down, I've finished."
"You should tell Sister Yuan Jiang," Gu Sheng said, turning his head away.
"Jiang Jiang, Auntie has finished drinking." Wen Yufen said, swallowing her anger. The suppressed anger and humiliation in her heart were about to explode at this moment. She was Gu Sheng's nominal stepmother, yet he sided with outsiders to make things difficult for her! She felt wronged to the core! But she was helpless!
