Quick Wear: Reversing Life

Chapter 265: Escape from the Mountains (46)

The drinking culture among men can be classified as one of the dregs.

The original owner's body couldn't drink much, and although most people drank for Chen Xianhua's sake, there were always a few old guys who took advantage of their favor and became arrogant.

Xiaocao took out a tissue and wiped her face. Then she stood up and looked at Wu Mengchuan and said, "What a coincidence. You're here to discuss business too?"

"Yes, there is a project recently, and there are so many competitors." Wu Mengchuan took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and was about to light one when he saw Xiaocao and shook the lighter in his hand.

"you do not mind?"

Xiao Cao glanced at him and said, "I mind."

He had the cigarette in his mouth. When he heard Xiaocao say that, he took it out with a chuckle.

"Look how red your face is. Didn't your grandfather assign you a secretary to block the wine for you?"

Xiao Cao rubbed his temples: "No need."

"My kind words now are being ignored and manipulated by them. Later, they will come to me in tears and beg me for mercy."

Xiaocao threw the crumpled tissue into the trash can beside her.

Watching Xiaocao's disappearing figure, Wu Mengchuan put the cigarette in his mouth again and lit it.

Faced with Xiaocao's aggressiveness, which was never concealed, he chuckled for a long time.

...

After the drinking party, Xiaocao stood on the steps waiting for the driver to pick her up, just in time for some cool breeze to sober up.

Wu Mengchuan also walked out of the gate at this time. Seeing Xiaocao, the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously. He walked forward and asked, "Get in my car? I'll take you home."

Xiao Cao raised her eyelids and glanced at him, then said slowly: "No, my driver is on the way."

"Okay." Wu Mengchuan raised his chin. "My car is here. I'll leave first."

After saying that, he put one arm on his coat and put the other hand in his pocket. He walked a few steps and looked back at her: "Really not going to sit? It's on my way back to your house."

Before Xiaocao could say anything, another voice interrupted.

"Little grass."

The two turned their heads and saw Li Yanshu walking towards them with his long legs.

He wore a dark blue knitted jacket, a pair of light brown loose trousers, and a gray plaid shirt underneath the jacket with white splicing on the collar and hem, looking very scholarly.

"Yanshu? Why are you here?"

The cold wind made his eyes dry, and Xiaocao squinted unconsciously.

"I'm here to take you back." Li Yanshu walked over to Xiaocao, then looked at Wu Mengchuan, nodded politely and smiled, "Hello."

Wu Mengchuan felt that Li Yanshu looked familiar. After a while, he remembered that he had seen this boy before at the door of Xiaocao's house and at the door of Professor Yang's house.

"Ah, it's you." Wu Mengchuan smiled. "I remember Chen Jiahui told me that your two families have a good relationship."

Li Yanshu nodded: "Yes, I am her fiancé."

Wu Mengchuan: "?"

His brows slightly lowered, and his eyes immediately changed, looking at Li Yanshu with inquiry.

He looks very young, with a fair and clean face, a young man like a sheep.

So he was the one the family had arranged for me to be with? They really were childhood sweethearts.

Wu Mengchuan curled the corners of his mouth and sneered slightly.

"It's getting late. Let's chat another day." Li Yanshu held Xiaocao's hand tightly and took her out of the club.

On the way home, the two of them sat side by side in the back seat.

Li Yanshu said, "I couldn't get through to you on the phone, so I came here with your driver."

After being blown by the cold wind outside for a while, Xiaocao suddenly entered the warm car. She was a little drowsy and didn't pay attention to what Li Yanshu was saying. She leaned against the car window and made a slight response.

The two of them were not close to each other, with half a body length between them, but Li Yanshu could still smell a slight scent of alcohol on her.

"...Have you drunk a lot of wine?" Li Yanshu asked softly.

Li Yanshu looked at her face. Her honey-colored skin was slightly red from drunkenness, which was very different from her usual cold appearance.

He knew it was probably a social event, but seeing her with Wu Mengchuan, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

She and Wu Mengchuan studied the same major in college and were in the same project team. They must have interacted with each other frequently and had more in common than she did with him.

Li Yanshu wasn't one to fight back, and he didn't want to force things, so he said softly, "If you don't want the two families to marry, I can talk to Grandpa Chen."

Xiaocao opened her eyes and met Li Yanshu's gaze in the dim carriage.

The color of her pupils had darkened considerably. As cars passed by, streetlights flickered, casting a thick, dark hue on her eyes.

Xiaocao propped up her head with her hands, tilted her head and looked at Li Yanshu. Suddenly, she chuckled, "We're only getting married in a few months, and you're talking about this now?"

Li Yanshu pursed his lips.

"White Rabbit."

Li Yanshu was stunned: "What?"

The grass pulled his hand over and snuggled into his dry and warm palm.

"I'm talking to you, aren't you born in the Year of the Rabbit?"

Xiaocao clasped his hand and leaned towards him. Their breaths instantly intertwined, carrying a strong aroma of wine.

Li Yanshu's body tensed up in an instant. They had never been so close before. It had gone beyond the normal social distance and entered the intimate range between lovers.

"Are you jealous when you see me and Wu Mengchuan?"

Li Yanshu paused, then met Xiaocao's smiling eyes and nodded: "If you like him...it's okay."

I don't know who this is trying to convince.

"Have some faith in yourself."

Xiaocao patted his shoulder, then leaned on Li Yanshu's shoulder and closed her eyes: "He and I just happened to meet here. He is also here to discuss business. We are not in the same box."

"I don't hate you, otherwise I wouldn't agree to this marriage."

"Okay, let's talk about it when we get home. I'm very dizzy and sleepy now, let me get some sleep."

Hearing Xiaocao say that she didn't hate him, Li Yanshu felt a flash of joy in his heart. Then, when he heard her say that she felt dizzy, he said, "Then why don't you lie down? I'll massage your head."

"Okay."

Xiaocao obeyed and lay on his legs, kicked off her high heels and bent her knees to put her legs on the seat.

Li Yanshu tucked her hair behind her ears and gently rubbed her temples with his fingertips.

The car was driving steadily, and except for the flashing street lights that were a bit dazzling, Xiaocao buried his face unconsciously.

Li Yanshu felt his ears and cheeks getting hot, and he could feel the warm air she exhaled through the thick layer of cloth on his legs.

In a daze, Xiaocao felt that he was about to fall asleep, but someone woke him up.

“…Home.”

The grass responded slowly.

Li Yanshu asked, "Do you want me to carry you up?"

"Um......"

Li Yanshu carried Xiaocao on his back, not forgetting to take her high heels, and walked into the elevator from the underground parking lot.

Li Yanshu had a very fragrant smell on his body, probably the smell of laundry detergent.

This smell is even more sleep-inducing than in the car. Xiaocao closed her eyes and felt that she was about to fall asleep again.

After a while, "Xiao Cao, what's your home password?"
