55: Chapter 55: Drinking for Her 55: Chapter 55: Drinking for Her “Mo Xingyuan.”
Mo Xingyuan, however, did not raise his glass to toast but merely turned his gaze faintly towards Su Ge after she had drunk two glasses of wine and nodded slightly at her.
His handsome face remained emotionlessly cold.
Su Ge breathed a sigh of relief.
She couldn’t stomach any more if she kept drinking.
Lin Shaoyang glanced at Mo Xingyuan, the corners of his mouth deepening slightly, put down his crossed legs, picked up the glass of wine from the table, and once again raised it towards Su Ge, “Xingyuan has been kept on a tight leash at home recently, can’t drink too much, so I’ll drink on his behalf.
You don’t mind, do you, Su Xiaoge?”
“Ah?” Just having let out a sigh of relief, Su Ge’s face turned pale in an instant.
This Lin Shaoyang was deliberately making things difficult for her.
No need for further words, she had already agreed to drink for two people, and it would be against etiquette not to accept Mo Xingyuan’s toast.
Su Ge reached out her hand to pick up the glass.
Before her hand touched the glass, a hand with distinct knuckles stretched over and directly picked up the glass in front of her.
“I’ll drink on her behalf.
The voice was husky, cold, and somber.
Lin Shaoyang was stunned for a moment, immediately put on a smiling face, “Don’t mind at all, of course, don’t mind.
Drinking for one’s own wife, naturally makes more sense than me drinking on behalf of a brother.”
Lin Shaoyang quickly finished the drink in his glass after speaking.
Chu Yihan slightly tilted his head back, elegantly and smoothly downing the glass of wine in one go.
Su Ge looked at him, her expression slightly complex.
Shen Zhiyue’s hand holding her glass seemed to tighten slowly, her gaze shifting back and forth between Su Ge and Chu Yihan, curiosity gleaming in her eyes.
Wasn’t it said that the two of them had a poor relationship?
So, is this an act, or are those rumors from the outside false?
Although today’s banquet was specifically held for Grandpa Chu, he only appeared briefly during the climax of the event.
Then it was the Chu Family brothers mingling around the venue.
Wen Lixuan also mingled with the crowd from the time Su Ge arrived and greeted her.
After that, he didn’t talk to her again.
Besides the leaders from various industries, the venue also had plenty of top socialites and scions of wealthy families.
Bai Jingya’s father, although the director of Rong City Private Hospital, wasn’t quite top-notch, so Bai Jingya did not attend today’s banquet.
Chu Yihan stayed at the venue the whole time, and Su Ge didn’t dare to actively seek out Wen Lixuan, but she noticed Wen Lixin still mingling while pregnant and casually picked up a glass of juice to walk over to her.
Wen Lixin was chatting with a lady of high society.
After excusing herself, she turned her gaze, “Xiao Ge?”
The lady tactfully walked away with her glass.
Su Ge signaled with her eyes towards Wen Lixin and then walked to a discreet corner to sit down.
Wen Lixin followed right away, looking Su Ge up and down, a mix of surprise and marvel in her eyes, “How long has it been since we last saw each other, I didn’t expect you to change so much.
I didn’t even recognize you just now, thought you were some socialite from a prestigious family, so beautiful.”
Sister Lixin is joking.”
Hearing Su Ge address herself as sister-in-law, Wen Lixin’s smile stiffened slightly as if only then she remembered that she was now Chu Yihan’s person.
“Suddenly hearing you call me sister-in-law, it feels so unfamiliar.
But, we are kind of a family now.” Wen Lixin sipped her juice lightly, seemingly a bit melancholic. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novel{f}ire.net
Su Ge’s expression was conflicted, her mouth opened to say something but then she held back.
“Xiao Si treats you well, doesn’t he?”
Wen Lixin observed Su Ge’s expression.
