Goodness, this guy drank it himself?
Wan Qiqi let go of his hand, but Chen Yongnian held it tightly. He looked at her helplessly and said, "Since this is a way of expressing my gratitude, I'll treat you to the food and drinks today. Erpang, tell the kitchen to bring out a few more snacks to go with the drinks. Let's have a good drink together with Lord Xie today."
Erpang accepted the order and hurriedly ran downstairs.
"Have one drink, but no more!" Chen Yongnian said domineeringly.
Wan Qiqi looked at Xie Xing with a helpless expression.
"It's alright. Drinking is bad for your health. You are a woman, so it's not advisable for you to drink too much." Xie Xing remained calm, glancing at the hands of the two people opposite him.
As the freshly cooked dishes were served, Wan Qiqi raised her glass in a toast, saying, "Zuijianglou came looking for trouble, but fortunately, Uncle Xie and Constable Liang helped us. This toast is for you both."
She tried to raise her other hand, but Chen Yongnian grabbed it, so she could only drink with one hand.
"It's just a small favor. As the official in charge of Yunhe County, it's what I should do. I shouldn't let my people suffer injustice." Xie Xing smiled gently and drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.
Although the food and drinks weren't enjoyed to the fullest, the conversation was filled with laughter and joy, lasting for an hour.
Finally, Wan Qiqi asked Wu Gousheng to help send Xie Xing and Constable Liang back.

"They've left?" Chen Yongnian asked.
"Let's go!" Wan Qiqi walked past Chen Yongnian into the private room, sat down, and looked at Chen Yongnian intently. "When did you learn to drink?"
"No, I only had one glass. I didn't dare drink more, I was afraid."
Chen Yongnian didn't say what he was afraid of, but Wan Qiqi roughly knew what he meant by "fear".
Chen Yongnian had been working in the county government for half a year, and he had witnessed all the human relationships, conflicts, and dangers.
Xie Xinghui agreed, which was already unexpected. He didn't dare to get drunk and leave Wan Qiqi to face it alone.
Wan Qiqi didn't pursue the matter further, tilting her head slightly, "When are you taking a break? I want to go back for a while."
Chen Yongnian, leaning on the threshold, seemed a little dizzy. "Okay, I'll go ask and let you know when we've set a time."
