In a daze, An Yiqing seemed to hear Gu Yelin calling her. Startled, she instantly snapped back from her distraction.
"Ah, what’s up? Ah Lin, what did you say?"
Looking at An Yiqing with a preoccupied face, Gu Yelin’s brow lightly furrowed, and a trace of worry flickered in his eyes, yet he didn’t say anything more.
"Eat up, the steak will get cold and won’t taste as nice."
Hearing Gu Yelin’s reminder, An Yiqing nodded, picked up the silver cutlery, and began eating bite by bite.
Hmm...maybe if she drank some red wine, she wouldn’t be so nervous...
An Yiqing’s gaze slowly shifted to the tall glass in front of her. The exquisite, high-end crystal glass shimmered under the warm yellow light, sparkling and completely translucent. In the transparent glass, the rich red looked like a clear ruby, its texture smooth and free of impurities.
Although An Yiqing could drink, she didn’t often indulge. Ye Chenghong had warned her before—her alcohol tolerance wasn’t strong, especially mixed drinks, which she couldn’t handle at all.
Hmm...it’s just red wine, maybe a little bit wouldn’t hurt...
An Yiqing bit her crimson lip, indecisive, her crystal-clear eyes filled with an eager light. She reached out her small hand, grabbed the crystal-clear glass, and before Gu Yelin could react, she raised the glass and downed the red wine in one gulp!
"Tutu, what are you doing?" Gu Yelin was taken aback, quickly stood, and walked over to An Yiqing, taking the wine glass from her hand.
By now, a glass of red wine downed, and though not strong, An Yiqing’s face was slightly flushed. She opened her clear eyes, blinked twice, and looked bewilderedly at the tense Gu Yelin in front of her, and said softly, "Hmm...this wine is really nice. Ah Lin, I want more."
What phrases from a woman could a man never refuse?
Just three: "I want." "I want it." "I want more."
With her face flushed and an innocent look, An Yiqing’s gaze held the bewilderment of a small animal, softly saying ’I want more’—how could Gu Yelin resist such temptation?
His sexy Adam’s apple moved slightly, and his body started to feel progressively warmer.
Gu Yelin took a deep breath, his voice slightly hoarse, "Tutu, what’s wrong with you?"
"Nothing’s wrong, Ah Lin, I’m really fine," An Yiqing shook her head lightly, smile curving her eyes, took Gu Yelin’s glass over to herself, then poured some more red wine into her own glass, and whispered, "Ah Lin, I’m so happy, we’re finally engaged."
After speaking, she picked up her glass, and once again, the red wine in the glass was gone in one gulp.
Gu Yelin observed An Yiqing carefully, and only after confirming she was truly alright did he comfortably drink the red wine in his glass.
For a while, An Yiqing found countless reasons to celebrate, thus emptying an entire bottle of red wine ’glug glug’ all by herself.
Hmm...now, she shouldn’t be nervous anymore...
At this point, An Yiqing was already leaning drunkenly against Gu Yelin. While Gu Yelin had also consumed a lot, such an amount of red wine had no effect on someone with his capacity for alcohol.
But smelling the sweet fragrance of his darling coming from his embrace, even without drinking much, Gu Yelin felt somewhat intoxicated.
"Hmm...Ah Lin, I’m not nervous anymore..." Suddenly, An Yiqing began muttering to herself.
