Chapter 116 Out of Control
The younger generations of the Chen and Yu families gathered together, and the dinner became lively. The old lady had her own routine, and after drinking some porridge, she felt so sleepy that she wanted to go back to her room.
"Grandma, can I take you home?" Chen Jingming said politely, but his butt didn't even leave the chair.
The old lady couldn't help but smile and patted his head lovingly, "You sweet-talking little brat, just sit down and entertain your cousins."
Chen Jingran skillfully picked up the old lady's thin coat that was draped over the back of the chair, put it on her shoulders, and accompanied her upstairs.
When the old lady's figure completely disappeared at the end of the corridor, the atmosphere in the dining room changed slightly.
Chen Jingming took the lead in picking up the wine glass and raised it towards Pei Yuezhou, the rim of the glass almost touching Pei Yuezhou's glass, "Mr. Pei, I have never had the opportunity to make friends with you before. This time, thanks to my grandmother, I will toast you a glass."
The smile on his face was even warmer than before, and even his eyes were deliberately flattering. "We are all family. I hope my brother-in-law will take good care of me."
Pei Yuezhou didn't move, but just placed his fingertips lightly on the handle of the cup, and glanced lightly at the glass of white wine.
He didn't bring any allergy medicine with him before coming, and he didn't have the habit of drinking with people he didn't know.
But today, in front of Yu Zhi, he didn't say anything too stiff, just said in a flat tone: "Sorry, I'm allergic to alcohol."
The smile on Chen Jingming's face froze instantly.
He clearly remembered that at a certain gilded dinner, the head of the Pei family was surrounded by the upstarts, and he looked very comfortable among the cups and plates, without any sign of being unable to drink.
Something suddenly popped up in my mind.
I'm afraid it's not that he can't drink, but that he doesn't want to drink with me?
Yu Zhi sat aside and saw all of this.
She picked up her wine glass, gently shook the red wine inside, and raised it towards Chen Jingming, "Cousin, my husband can't drink, I'll accompany you."
She was determined to get this guy drunk and see how he could continue to pester A Yue.
At least with Yu Zhi to help him down, although Chen Jingming was upset in his heart, he didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction on his face.
I had planned to just have a drink with her.
It turned out that the other party had an extremely good alcohol tolerance. He kept toasting him with one glass after another, which made him drunk.
The man was lying on the table and couldn't straighten his back.
Yu Zhi patted Chen Jingming's shoulder and said, "Cousin, get up and continue drinking."
Chen Jingming spoke vaguely, "I can't do it anymore, I can't do it anymore..."
Yu Zhi crossed her arms and couldn't help but sigh, "How can a man say no, cousin?"
Chen Jingming just kept waving his hands and didn't understand what Yu Zhi was saying at all.
It was Chen Jingrui who stepped forward in time to support his brother, "Cousin, my brother is drunk, so I took him home first."
Pei Yuezhou kicked Yu Heng lightly under the table, and Yu Heng came to his senses, stood up and followed him out.
Seeing her two brothers were about to leave, Chen Jingruo picked up her bag and followed them, bringing with her the techniques for flirting with men that Yu Zhi had taught her. She looked in a very good mood.
When there were only two people left in the dining room, Yu Zhi leaned towards Pei Yuezhou, slightly tipsy.
Her already bright face was stained with a light red due to the alcohol, and her eyes were even more charming as she moved. "Ayue, wasn't I handsome when I was domineeringly protecting my husband just now?"
Pei Yuezhou's eyes were always glued to her, hiding a madness that she was not aware of.
His Adam's apple rolled slightly, "Yeah."
"Well, I feel a little dizzy..." Yu Zhi wanted to snuggle into Pei Yuezhou's arms, but Yu Heng outside the door gave Pei Yuezhou a look, indicating that he should come out first.
Although the relationship is not close, we still have to be polite.
Pei Yuezhou reluctantly squeezed her palm, and when he leaned over, his warm breath brushed her ear: "Wait for me obediently, I'll be back soon."
"Okay~"
Yu Zhi looked so seductive at the moment, with the corners of her eyes red from the alcohol, and a smile on the corners of her mouth, like a ball of soft light, making Pei Yuezhou unable to take his eyes off her.
Before leaving, he couldn't help but lean over and press a kiss as light as a feather on her cheek. His fingertips touched her warm skin, and the touch of his lips was so soft that it made his heart tremble.
After leaving his coat behind, he accompanied Yu Heng to see someone off.
When Chen Jingran settled Old Lady Yu down, he found that the party downstairs had already ended. Only Yu Zhi was left leaning on a chair, covered with a men's coat.
She slightly closed her eyes, her long eyelashes drooping like butterfly wings. The light from the crystal lamp fell on her unmade-up face. The blush from the alcohol spread from the tips of her ears to her chin, like a quietly blooming peach blossom.
Chen Jingran's eyes deepened a little, but he just followed his heart and walked towards her step by step.
The person before him was more charming than the one in his memory, but he would never smile and reach out to him and say
- Little cousin, don’t look so dull. I’m going to take you out for some delicious food.
This older sister seems to have never had any worries, always smiling casually, and the magnetic field around her is so comfortable that people can't help but want to get close to her.
Although he knew it was impossible, Chen Jingran still let go of the rules that were engraved in his bones at this moment, and inexplicably wanted to stay away from her.
He reached out and held Yu Zhi's shoulders, "Sister, can I take you back to your room?"
Yu Zhi's eyelashes twitched, but she was not awake.
She was sleeping soundly leaning against the back of the chair, and Chen Jingran was bending over and looking at her, looking a little dazed.
At this moment, a brute force grabbed the back of his collar and threw him to the ground.
Chen Jingran looked up and met Pei Yuezhou's gloomy eyes.
Pei Yuezhou's hair was messed up by the evening breeze, revealing his plump forehead. The corners of his beautiful eyes were tinged with anger, making him look even more dangerous. "Are you tired of living?"
"My cousin-in-law misunderstood..."
Before he could finish his words, Pei Yuezhou grabbed his collar and pushed him to the ground, and punched him in the face.
Yu Heng, who came in later, saw this scene and his eyebrows jumped. He quickly stepped forward to pull Pei Yuezhou away and said, "What are you doing? How can you be so drunk even if you haven't drunk anything?"
Chen Jingran gently wiped the wound at the corner of his mouth and stood up, "Cousin, it's just a small misunderstanding."
Anyone with a discerning eye could see the tense atmosphere, but Yu Heng wanted to ease the situation, so he said, "Then there's no need to fight. We're all family."
Pei Yuezhou shook off Yu Heng's hand, his jawline tense as he looked at Chen Jingran with eyes as fierce as if poisoned. Every word he said carried a warning: "Put away those thoughts that shouldn't be there. If you touch her again, I'll destroy you."
Chen Jingran did not respond, and the strands of hair on his forehead drooped slightly, covering his brow bones.
There won't be a next time.
This impulse to get out of control will only happen this once.
He seemed to have transformed into that indifferent porcelain doll again, and said gently, "I'm sorry, I was inconsiderate."
Pei Yuezhou picked up Yu Zhi, who was about to wake up, by the waist, and went upstairs without looking at the person behind him.
