"That’s not the right way to drink when you’re happy."
Manman took the red wine from Chu Ci’s hand, frowning as she looked at her.
Chu Ci’s face was already flushed from drinking. She smiled sweetly and grabbed back the bottle: "Girl, don’t mind me. You have to drink to have fun. In a few days, I’ll be back at work and who knows when I’ll be back again, so drink with me."
Chu Ci masked it well, her excuse was also good, and she didn’t let any sadness show.
Manman believed her and turned to Feng Yi: "If I get drunk later, remember to take me home."
Feng Yi didn’t say anything; usually, if he didn’t refuse, it meant he agreed.
Han Xi looked at the two and didn’t stop them. Since Chu Ci wanted to drink, then let her. Maybe after getting drunk, her heart wouldn’t feel so heavy.
"Xiao Xi, drink with us." Manman waved the wine glass in her hand, her eyes bent into a smile.
Han Xi was about to agree, but Lu Jinghan spoke first: "She just got out of the hospital and can’t drink yet."
Manman raised an eyebrow and said unrestrainedly: "Since she’s out of the hospital, it means she’s recovered. Why can’t she drink? Stop making excuses. Clearly, you have some bad intentions for our Han Xi tonight."
Manman wasn’t even drunk yet but was already talking nonsense.
Fu Bin nearly spat out the wine in his mouth. This girl really dares to say anything: "They’re a married couple, nothing they do is illegal. Why are you worrying for nothing?"
Han Xi’s face was so red she wanted to find a hole to crawl into. How did things end up going there all of a sudden?
Lu Jinghan’s serious gaze swept over Manman and Fu Bin, and the two troublemakers instantly shut their mouths.
After the meal, both Chu Ci and Manman were very drunk. Han Xi supported Chu Ci, who was almost unconscious, and tentatively suggested to Lu Jinghan: "She’s so drunk, I don’t feel comfortable leaving her alone. Why not let her stay with us?"
"No." Lu Jinghan responded decisively.
"There’s only a temporary cleaning aunt at Chu Ci’s house, it’s so late, and she’s . I’m really not comfortable with it."
"Then call her manager and have them come right over to pick her up."
With that, Lu Jinghan leaned over and whispered in Han Xi’s ear: "Tonight, you are only mine."
Han Xi blushed and glared at Lu Jinghan. Why is this guy always so inappropriate?
Unable to argue with him, Han Xi could only take out her phone to call Su Yan, briefly explaining the situation and giving her the address before hanging up.
Chu Ci was leaning entirely on Han Xi, and Lu Jinghan, worried that the girl would get tired, took Chu Ci from Han Xi and headed toward the door of the private room.
Behind them, Manman was clinging tightly to Feng Yi like an octopus, muttering incessantly: "I’m not drunk... let’s drink more, friendship... forever."
Feng Yi frowned as he held Manman. This woman was harder to handle drunk than sober.
Fu Bin, with his hands in his pockets, nudged Feng Yi with his elbow, a mischievous smile on his face: "Why don’t I take Manman home? I’m on the way."
Feng Yi looked at Fu Bin, expressionless: "Are you sure that if she finds out you took her home, she won’t kill you tomorrow?"
"If you want to take her home, just say it. I won’t fight you for it."
"I don’t want you to take me... Let go of me."
In her stupor, Manman pushed away Feng Yi’s arm, turned to hug Fu Bin, and snuggled her flushed little face into Fu Bin’s chest.
