Chapter 14: Drunk

The men were chatting, Chu Shuang sat next to Sheng Ting, his low, mellow voice was clear in her ears when he spoke, the cuffs of the man's suit were patterned with smooth gold thread, and the enamel cufflinks were deep and noble.

In her sight, he raised the jade porcelain cup and took another sip of wine, his brows slightly furrowed, his Adam's apple rolling slightly, and Chu Shuang felt that the aroma of the wine was even stronger.

Knowing that there was a pair of eyes floating on him, Sheng Ting turned his head and stared at Chu Shuang's clear eyes, "Want to drink?"

"What does it taste like?"

“The taste of wine.”

Chu Shuang opened her lips and saw the man take her cup, tilt the pot slightly, and let some wine flow into it.

"That's enough. The wine is aromatic but strong. Don't drink more."

Hatsushimo curled her lips and said, "Okay."

Qianqian took a sip and found it much more fragrant than their sake. This was the first time that Hatsushimo had tasted such a mellow Chinese wine.

"It smells so good, what kind of wine is this?"

Masazawa said, "This wine is called Lu Nong Xiao."

The first frost paused slightly, "Huaqing is drunk with music and colorful clothes, and the imperial concubine is drinking wine and smiling."

Zhao Jinzhou chuckled, "Sister-in-law knows a lot. This wine is the Lu Nong Xiao that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and Concubine Yang drank together at Huaqing Pool. This fine wine presented to the palace is said to be made from nectar and red water. It is extremely clear and fragrant."

"It is indeed the Imperial Jade Wine," Chu Shuang finished the last bit of the wine in the cup. "How did you find this precious place?"

"The boss is right here."

Zhengyuan held the wine glass in his hand and smiled faintly: "Sister-in-law, come drink with me in the future, I will give you and your friends a free meal."

Li Bingbing had already asked Zhengze for a glass of wine. She was really intoxicated by Lu Nong's smile. Upon hearing this, she raised her glass to Zhengyuan: "Boss Zheng is so generous!"

Halfway through, Li Bingbing wanted to go to the bathroom and took Chu Shuang with her.

Staying away from the group of men, she finally had a chance to vent what she had been holding back all night. "Sister, let me be clear. When I first saw your husband, I was indeed impressed by his handsomeness. But you know I tend to exaggerate. I just admired and praised him. I didn't really want to snatch your man. You...you mustn't think too much!"

Chu Shuang looked at her quietly without saying anything. Li Bingbing licked her dry lips and said, "We have principles and bottom lines. You must not touch the men of your sisters! I guarantee it with my happiness for the rest of my life."

Stopping teasing her, Chu Shuang laughed out loud: "Don't I know what kind of person you are?"

Li Bingbing breathed a sigh of relief. "I was shocked. Who would have known that the handsome guy I met by chance at dinner would be your man? Fortunately it's you. If it was someone else, I wouldn't be able to explain it today."

Hatsushimo chuckled, "Do you want contact information? I have it."

"No, no, no, I don't dare to do that anymore," Li Bingbing shook her head, "I'd better not meet your man in the future. As soon as I see him, I will remember the embarrassing things that happened today."

After washing her hands, Li Bingbing recalled that stern face. "But come to think of it, you really made a fortune from this marriage. Such a handsome man makes people feel good just by looking at him. Suddenly I feel that marriage is not that scary."

"You changed your mind pretty quickly. You said it was horrible before."

"It depends on the person," Li Bingbing suddenly chuckled, "Your husband is really nice, and it's quite pleasing to the eye to sit with you. I think he treats you well, too."

"You can tell in just a short while?"

"It's not easy to fake a person's words, deeds and manners. He looks like a man with principles. When he spoke to you at the table just now, his voice was low and his head was slightly lowered. At least he respected you, and his friends did the same."

Hatsushimo stared in thought for a while, "That's exactly what happened."

"But if someone else marries him, he will be the same."

Li Bingbing: "...Are you allergic to romance?"

The two of them had just sat down when Sheng Ting received a phone call. He stood up and went outside to answer it.

Chu Shuang looked at his disappearing back, her eyes fixed on his bright smile. He had only poured her a little bit just now, so she only tasted it.

Now that no one was around, Chu Shuang pursed her lips, reached out to take the wine jar and quickly filled her own glass.

Zhengyuan caught a glimpse of her action. Chushuang paused slightly, then bent her lips and smiled calmly.

Zhengyuan smiled: "It seems that sister-in-law really likes my wine."

Sheng Ting came back faster than expected, with half the glass of wine still in it. Chu Shuang followed his gaze and quickly finished that half glass of wine.

As Shengting took his seat, she bowed her head silently.

Afterwards, they chatted for a while. Li Bingbing was a talkative person and she kept chatting with the handsome guys, but Chu Shuang fell asleep on the sofa without anyone noticing.

Sheng Ting caught a glimpse of the person sleeping beside him. His black hair covered most of his face, his breathing was shallow, and his cheeks were slightly pink.

Zhao Jinzhou betrayed Chushuang: "Your wife Sheng just drank some wine while you were away. She didn't drink much but got drunk first."

Sheng Ting glanced at his watch and said, "I'll take her back. You guys can have fun."

Chu Shuang felt someone pulling her up. She opened her eyes with difficulty and saw Sheng Ting's well-defined face.

"Can you walk?"

Chu Shuang nodded, and pushed herself to her feet. She took a few steady steps, but she started walking in a curve at the back. She continued walking with a swaying head, and her left foot accidentally tripped over her right foot. Her center of gravity was unstable and she was about to fall forward.

The pain she had imagined did not come. Instead, a strong force was tied around her waist, holding her tightly. Chu Shuang opened her eyes and saw the man's jaw.

Sheng Ting said nothing and carried her into the car.

The driver drove the car onto the main road. Sheng Ting glanced at the man who was taking a nap with his eyes closed. "How much did you drink?"

Hatsushimo raised a finger, then bent it, and said in a hoarse voice, "A little bit."

The man sneered, "You don't even know how much you can bear, and you don't listen to advice."

Hatsushiro wrinkled her nose and changed her sleeping direction.

Not only did she feel dizzy, but her body was also hot. The wine was indeed strong enough. When the car arrived at Qingyu Garden, she hadn't reacted yet, "Where is this?"

The man got out of the car and looked at her, "We're home."

Looking at the unfamiliar gate, Hatsushimo shook his head, "This is not my home. There is a stone lion at the door of my home."

She raised her eyes to look at the man standing against the light, her eyelashes casting a shadow under his eyes. She asked seriously, "Who are you?"

Sheng Ting looked down at her, thinking that she had already reached the second level of drunkenness, "Who do you say I am?"

Hatsushimo shook her head: "I don't know you."

A gust of night wind blew, and she couldn't help but sneeze. Sheng Ting frowned, and without saying much, he directly carried her out from inside, held her in one hand and walked into the room.

Chu Shuang had to cling to his shoulders to stay steady. Looking at the scenery along the way, she spoke again: "This is not my grandfather's house. Were you sent by Gu Sui?"

The man paused for a moment, a fleeting second, without changing his expression, and went upstairs with the person in his arms.

"Why don't you say anything?" Chu Shuang sneezed again. "I'll give you twice as much as Gu Sui gave you. I'm not easy to mess with. If I get hurt, my uncles and cousins ​​won't let you go."

Sheng Ting said calmly: "Shut up."

Chu Shuang was silent for two seconds, "My husband is also very powerful, he will arrest you and put you in jail."
