"Xunhuan, I think I should repeat what you just said to your wife, don't you think?" Chu Ji said with a playful smile at Ye Xunhuan.
Hearing Chu Ji suddenly mention Qiu Ruoxi, Ye Xunhuan shuddered: "Boss, you're not serious, are you?"
"Look how scared you are, just messing with you!" Chu Ji said softly, "By the way, how did you and Qiu Ruoxi meet and get married?"
"Now that's a ridiculous story."
"You didn't take advantage of Qiu Ruoxi when she was drunk, sleep with her, and then marry her out of responsibility, did you?" Chu Ji speculated wildly.
Ye Xunhuan almost spewed out the bite of king crab he had just taken after hearing Chu Ji's remark.
Am I that kind of person?
"Boss, is that how you see me?"
"Otherwise, why do you think I let you drink the white liquor while I drink red wine?"
Saying this, Chu Ji gracefully picked up the wine glass in front of her and took a small sip of the red wine.
Her red lips touched the crimson wine, like tea and fire, extraordinarily enticing.
Three black lines etched across Ye Xunhuan's forehead involuntarily.
Schemes, this woman is too good at scheming.
No wonder people say cities are full of schemes, I want to return to the countryside, where the paths are slippery...
"You really thought too much this time." Ye Xunhuan explained softly, "Ruoxi is the wife my mom found for me and insisted I marry!"
"So it's an arranged marriage by your parents?"
"Auntie has good taste, found you a good wife."
Ye Xunhuan smiled and didn't say much more.
Ye Xunhuan and Chu Ji shared laughs and conversations, creating a very pleasant atmosphere.
Before they knew it, Ye Xunhuan had drunk more than half a bottle of Maotai, and Chu Ji had also consumed quite a bit of red wine.
However, seemingly unaffected, Ye Xunhuan appeared just fine, while Chu Ji now blushed with the flush of alcohol.
This made Chu Ji look even more like a ripe, juicy peach, making one salivate.
"Boss, with your alcohol tolerance, you need more practice to drink me under the table!"
"Ye Xunhuan, are you a barrel? You drank more than half a bottle and it doesn't affect you at all..."
"I'm reputed to be able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk!"
"Keep bragging!" Chu Ji said with disbelief, "If you have the guts, down that glass of wine in front of you in one go!"
"Alright, since you've challenged me, I can't refuse you face!" Ye Xunhuan responded boldly, "But you have to drink with me too, right?"
"Why do I feel like you're planning to get me drunk?"
"What, Boss, are you scared?"
"Tch, what do I have to be scared of?" Chu Ji retorted, indomitable, "Drink with you it is, who's afraid of whom!"
"Then let's stop talking, all in the drink!"
After that, Ye Xunhuan and Chu Ji gently clinked their glasses and drank in one go!
This time, Chu Ji truly acknowledged Ye Xunhuan's drinking capability; this guy wasn't human at all.
A bottle of Maotai was almost gone, yet this guy still looked unaffected.
"How did you train up such an alcohol tolerance?" Chu Ji asked curiously to Ye Xunhuan.
"Just drink more, and you'll build it up!"
"Forget it if you don't want to elaborate."
Ye Xunhuan smiled and didn't explain further.
Time passed silently, and the meal between Chu Ji and Ye Xunhuan was very delightful.
"Alright, Boss, after this glass of wine, I need to leave!"
Suddenly hearing that Ye Xunhuan was leaving, Chu Ji was slightly stunned: "It's still early, and you have to go?"
Suddenly Chu Ji seemed to think of something, her eyes widened as she looked at Ye Xunhuan: "Don't tell me your wife set a time and told you when to return?"
"Not really." Ye Xunhuan smiled, "After all, being married, it can't be the same as when I was single, right?"
Although a bit disappointed about Ye Xunhuan leaving, Chu Ji did not press it: "Okay, let's meet again another day!"
Ye Xunhuan nodded at that.
Just as Ye Xunhuan was about to drink the half glass of wine left on the table and leave, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Hearing the knock, Ye Xunhuan slowly turned his gaze to Chu Ji: "Boss, you don't have any dishes left to serve, do you?"
"Everything's been served!"
Chu Ji also looked puzzled, "I'll go check it out!"
With that, Chu Ji stood up and walked towards the door.
Upon reaching the door, Chu Ji did not look through the peephole to see who it was, instead, she directly opened it.
The next moment, a tall and elegant figure came into Chu Ji's view.
The man was wearing a simple black shirt, yet the tulip in the collar made one wary of the shirt's price; his lower half was a pair of neatly pressed trousers, and on his feet, shiny black leather shoes!
The refined attire, matched with a fairly handsome young face, made the man look like a dashing and elegant gentleman.
Seeing the newcomer, Chu Ji's slightly tipsy cheeks immediately turned cold, and a hint of hostility flashed in her eyes.
Originally filled with a broad smile, the man's face slightly changed upon seeing Chu Ji's blushing face and the thick scent of alcohol on her: "You've been drinking?"
"What does it have to do with you?" Chu Ji replied coldly.
"If you want to drink, I can drink with you..."
Saying this, the man didn't wait for an invitation from Chu Ji and started to walk into the room.
At that moment, Ye Xunhuan suddenly spoke up: "Chu Ji, who is it?"
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan's voice, the man's face instantly became grim: "Chu Ji, you're with another man?"
"That's my business!"
The man snorted coldly and shoved Chu Ji aside, walking into the suite.
Seeing Ye Xunhuan sitting at the dining table, the table full of leftovers and unfinished wine, the man's expression turned dark!
"Chu Ji, you actually found a man behind my back..."
"Ying Tianyi, mind your tone!" Chu Ji said coldly, "I have nothing to do with you, what I do is none of your business!"
"Nothing to do?" Ying Tianyi snorted coldly, "My father has already proposed to Mr. Chu..."
"Did I agree?" Chu Ji interrupted Ying Tianyi directly, "Ying Tianyi, give up already, I will never marry you!"
"Because of this guy?" Ying Tianyi suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Ye Xunhuan.
"None of your business!"
"Chu Ji, don't blame me for not warning you. If you want this guy dead, I can make it happen!"
"Ying Tianyi, you..."
Ying Tianyi ignored Chu Ji and turned to Ye Xunhuan: "Kid, stay away from Chu Ji, or you'll die miserably!"
