Chapter 612: Drinking So Much—What Are You Planning to Do?

Chapter 610 Chapter 612: Drinking So Much, What Do You Want to Do?

Rejected 99 Times, the Aloof Campus Belle Comes On Strong at Me, Jiang Muye

Boss Cutie

Leng Ruoli still couldn't stop smiling.

"Dad, Father-in-Law, I think you two can do rock-paper-scissors. Whoever wins gets to decide!" Jiang Muye thought for a moment, then said.

This wasn't going to stump him.

This method should work.

After all, Chinese people all do it this way. Rock-paper-scissors, yyds!

"Alright, rock-paper-scissors!" Father Leng and Father Jiang hit it off immediately.

Jiang Muye let out a breath of relief.

Now they could finally decide who was superior.

But the result was beyond Jiang Muye's expectations.

"You threw late, I should've won!" Father Leng pointed at Father Jiang, saying angrily.

"We clearly threw at the same time! I won, you can't go back on your word!" Father Jiang wouldn't yield to Father Leng.

"No, you're the one who cheated! No no, let's do it again!"

"Muye, look, didn't he throw late!"

As the two argued endlessly, they both turned to look at Jiang Muye in unison.

Jiang Muye smiled bitterly.

He looked at Leng Ruoli. "Darling, what do you think?"

Leng Ruoli lightly patted Jiang Muye. "See, you're always tossing the hard problems to me."

"You're smart, that's why." Jiang Muye said with a grin.

"I'm actually pretty happy being praised by you." The corners of Leng Ruoli's lips curved upward.

Seeing Father Leng and Father Jiang arguing endlessly, Leng Ruoli said to them, "Actually, I think best of three would be good."

"Alright, my daughter-in-law is smarter. Come on, best of three!" Father Jiang said excitedly.

Father Leng shouted, "Bring it on, you think I'm afraid of you!"

So the two started rock-paper-scissors again.

In the end, naturally, Father Jiang won.

Father Leng covered his forehead helplessly. "I've been in business for so many years and never lost to anyone. I never imagined I'd lose to you."

"You also lost to my son, hahahaha, you married your daughter to my son!" Father Jiang clapped happily.

"My god, then I really lost everything! My grandson takes your family name, my daughter ran off with your son, I have nothing left, and now I can't even decide on a dish! No, you have to let me win!" Father Leng felt he'd been shortchanged.

"Hahahaha, too late, no way. We just agreed on rock-paper-scissors, how can you go back on it!"

Father Leng and Father Jiang bickered for a good while, and in the end Father Leng couldn't out-argue Father Jiang.

He wore a very melancholy, bitter expression. He was still drunk, lying on the table, looking aggrievedly at Xiang Shan. "Wife, stand up for me."

Though it was just a very soft sentence, it made Xiang Shan's heart tremble.

She seemed to instantly return to memories of the past.

Xiang Shan's eyes grew slightly moist.

For a moment, she truly wanted to answer.

But she knew she had no right to.

Now everything had changed, and the two of them had already wasted over twenty years.

Now that they were divorced, they should be the most familiar strangers.

Yet Xiang Shan's red lips still parted slightly, and she softly let out a sound. "Mm."

In her eyes was a deep, tender affection.

That was her gentlest side.

Reserved without reservation, yet carefully, for Father Leng.

Even knowing he was drunk.

But her heart still warmed because of that single sentence.

Of course, closely following it was an indescribable sense of stuffiness and sorrow.

If not for those things that happened, perhaps she and Leng Qihua could have lived happily.

If not for him being drunk, could she still hear him call her "wife"?

恐怕 there would be no such chance anymore.

Xiang Shan's mood grew heavy. She took a sip of orange juice, and even the sweet orange juice tasted as bitter and astringent as alcohol.

After Jiang Muye and Leng Ruoli finalized the menu, the chef went back, ready to prepare everything by the weekend.

"It's getting late, I'll take him home." Looking at Father Leng, who was drunk into a puddle of mud, Xiang Shan said to Jiang Muye and Leng Ruoli.

"Alright, be careful on the road." Leng Ruoli said with concern to Xiang Shan.

"Okay, good girl, be happy." Xiang Shan patted Leng Ruoli's little face.

Leng Ruoli's eyes had a hint of tears, and she nodded happily. "I will."

Xiang Shan then helped Father Leng out.

Leng Ruoli lowered her head, and tears fell.

"Don't cry, baby." Jiang Muye comforted Leng Ruoli.

"I think on my wedding day, I'll definitely cry myself to death." Leng Ruoli looked at Jiang Muye with tears in her eyes but smiling.

"I won't cry, but I can understand you. That day I'll definitely be smiling, after all, I'm marrying a beautiful wife and bringing her home. I'll be overjoyed." Jiang Muye rubbed Leng Ruoli's shoulders.

Leng Ruoli was lost in happiness. "Then I'll smile too, because my husband is a big handsome guy, and I'll be very happy."

"Hahahaha, I love hearing that!" Jiang Muye broke into a grin.

While Leng Ruoli and Jiang Muye were flirting, Xiang Shan had already helped Father Leng into the car.

She hadn't drunk, so she didn't need a designated driver.

Father Leng was already dead drunk.

Xiang Shan leaned over and carefully reached out to fasten Father Leng's seatbelt.

At this moment, the two were very close, so close that Xiang Shan felt nervous.

Father Leng's features were deep and defined, carrying a certain charm he'd passed down to Leng Ruoli—which was why Leng Ruoli had grown up so especially beautiful.

Especially his long eyelashes; his hairline hadn't receded at all with age, and he still had the dashing spirit of his youth.

He wouldn't disappoint Xiang Shan too much; he still retained the traces of what she'd once been infatuated with.

This was the closest the two had been since the divorce.

Xiang Shan looked at Father Leng and subconsciously wanted to kiss him, but she was careful, nervous and cautious.

She knew Leng Qihua and she were already divorced and no longer the same as before.

He was drunk now, and she shouldn't take advantage of the situation.

Xiang Shan forcefully suppressed her desire and desperately kept herself from excessive thoughts.

Leng Qihua lay drunkenly in the chair, completely unaware of what was going on in Xiang Shan's mind.

Xiang Shan took a deep breath and stepped on the gas.

Now she understood that some things couldn't go back. Sometimes it wasn't that her efforts could make a difference.

She could only get him home safely and soundly.

After a while, Xiang Shan drove Leng Qihua to the villa entrance.

She contacted the servant to open the door, helped Leng Qihua inside, and had just put Leng Qihua on the sofa when footsteps sounded on the stairs.

"Qihua!"

That excited call made Xiang Shan tremble.

Xiang Shan saw Ye Shuhua in a long dress and pajamas, happily running down from upstairs.

Xiang Shan's mood suddenly turned terrible.

She'd forgotten there was another woman in Leng Qihua's house.

When Ye Shuhua saw Xiang Shan, she was stunned, very surprised, and then called out, "Sister Xiang Shan, I never imagined you'd be here."

"I brought him back." Xiang Shan didn't much like Ye Shuhua, but she had no right to reject her either. "I'm leaving."

Xiang Shan walked out coldly, and Ye Shuhua immediately ran up.

"Sister Xiang Shan, why is it you bringing him back so late at night? How did he get so drunk?"

Ye Shuhua was clearly somewhat displeased.

"Don't worry, nothing happened. He was just at his daughter's place and had a few extra drinks." Xiang Shan could see Ye Shuhua was unhappy and helped explain.

No matter what, she didn't want Ye Shuhua to misunderstand anything and then quarrel with Leng Qihua.
