Yan Ningshuang pulled her hand away, ignored Xiao Jingyue's words, and sat down at the dinner table.
Xiao Jingyue smiled and sat down next to her.
"And wine? My lady is really enthusiastic today."
Xiao Jingyue dismissed the maids and picked up the wine pot to pour two glasses of wine. He took one for himself and placed the other in front of Yan Ningshuang. He looked at her and smiled, "How about having a drink with me?"
Yan Ningshuang pushed the wine glass away and said calmly, "I don't drink."
Xiao Jingyue tutted, and put down his own glass somewhat disappointedly: "Since my wife doesn't want to drink, then I won't drink either. Drinking alone is called drinking alone, what's the point?"
Yan Ningshuang paused with her chopsticks, glanced at the wine glass in front of her, hesitated for a while, and finally put down her chopsticks and picked up the wine glass that Xiao Jingyue placed in front of her.
Seeing this, Xiao Jingyue couldn't help but smile happily. Without saying anything, he leaned over and kissed Yan Ningshuang on the face: "My dear, you are really obedient today."
The disgust in Yan Ningshuang's eyes flashed away. She raised her hand to wipe the place where Xiao Jingyue had kissed her, and said with a suppressed breath, "Are you going to drink or not?"
Xiao Jingyue looked at her and smiled: "Drink, of course! Let alone wine, even if the beauty asked me to drink poison, I would drink it in one gulp without saying a word."
Yan Ningshuang's heart skipped a beat and she glanced at Xiao Jingyue. Xiao Jingyue looked at him, picked up the wine glass and put it to his lips. Yan Ningshuang's heart beat faster and faster, and she stared at the wine glass in Xiao Jingyue's hand intently.
Xiao Jingyue suddenly took the cup away, looked at Yan Ningshuang and said with a smile: "Madam, you don't want to drink?"
Yan Ningshuang bit her lip, put the wine glass in her hand to her lips and touched her lips.
While looking at Yan Ningshuang, Xiao Jingyue drank the glass of wine happily.
Yan Ningshuang finally breathed a sigh of relief and almost immediately put down the wine glass in her hand: "It's too spicy, I can't get used to it."
Xiao Jingyue smiled softly and stopped trying to persuade him.
After that, neither of them spoke. Yan Ningshuang ate without any taste, watching Xiao Jingyue drink up the small pot of wine cup by cup. Her originally uneasy heart gradually calmed down miraculously.
Xiao Jingyue drank the last glass of wine in one gulp, then suddenly sneered and looked at Yan Ningshuang and asked, "Madam, what do you like about him?"
Yan Ningshuang was stunned for a moment, then her face turned cold: "You've drunk too much."
Xiao Jingyue, however, smiled to himself and said, "Do you like him because he's good-looking? Do you like him because he's talented? Do you like him because he's in a high position? Or do you like him because he ignores you?"
Yan Ningshuang stood up suddenly and looked down at Xiao Jingyue: "You've had too much to drink. I'll send someone to help you to the guest room to rest."
Xiao Jingyue twitched his lips. "This is my room. Why should I sleep in the guest room? Why don't you dare answer me? What's so great about him that makes you obsessed with him?"
Yan Ningshuang was silent for a moment, then suddenly looked at Xiao Jingyue and sneered, "Yeah, why wouldn't I admit it? I just like him! You ask me how he's better than you? You might as well ask yourself how you compare to him! No, I should say that comparing the two of you is an insult to him in my opinion!"
The smile on Xiao Jingyue's face faded. Seeing the unfathomable look in Yan Ningshuang's eyes, it was the first time Yan Ningshuang saw Xiao Jingyue without a playful smile, and she couldn't help but take a step back in fear.
