Chapter 59: Chapter 59: Drunken Heart, Even More Beautiful (3)
Feeling stifled, Chu Chen also found it a bit funny. But at this moment, he didn’t dare to provoke the "petty" Shen Lingxing. If he held a grudge, that would be unfortunate!
Soon, the Chery car drove over, and their conversation ended as they went to greet it.
"Wow! Another handsome guy!"
In the car, Li Bao’er pinched Bai Lulu’s arm beside her, her eyes sparkling as she cheered inwardly.
"No matter how handsome, you can’t take him home. Get out of the car and stop being starry-eyed!" Bai Lulu freed herself from Li Bao’er’s grip with disdain, then stepped out of the car first.
"Hmph, can’t I just simply admire?" Li Bao’er grumbled softly but didn’t dawdle and also got out of the car.
Hearing their conversation, Mi Jing and Ruan Pianran, who were sitting in front, exchanged glances and smiled as they got out of the car as well.
Chu Chen loved to have fun and enjoyed lively occasions. So when Mi Jing called him, saying she wanted to introduce her friends to Shen Lingxing and wanted to have a meal together, he agreed without a second thought. Firstly, it was hard to refuse when his sister-in-law invited him, and secondly, he came with the intention of meeting beautiful women.
At this moment, seeing Bai Lulu and Li Bao’er getting out of the car, Chu Chen felt a bit disappointed. It wasn’t that they weren’t good-looking, but in terms of his aesthetic standards, they weren’t pretty enough!
Given Chu Chen’s background, beautiful women were the least scarce around him. Having seen plenty, he became picky. But when he saw Ruan Pianran, who got out of the car with a faint smile, his disappointment was instantly replaced with astonishment, and his gaze warmed up a bit.
He had seen many women with various traits—pure, coquettish, cool, and cute. But ones like Ruan Pianran were truly rare; pure yet flirtatious, flirtatious with a hint of coldness, and within that coldness, there was an enigmatic allure.
Someone like her didn’t need to do anything, just standing there was enough to capture anyone’s attention, like a natural eye-catcher.
Noticing Chu Chen’s gaze, Ruan Pianran politely smiled at him, then walked over to Bai Lulu and Li Bao’er, focusing her attention on Shen Lingxing.
"Let’s go in."
Shen Lingxing took Mi Jing’s hand and started walking ahead, gesturing with his other hand.
They took the elevator upstairs and entered the already chosen private room. After sitting down, Mi Jing briefly introduced everyone.
With her boss around, Bai Lulu was a bit restrained, not showing her usual carefree side. Li Bao’er, on the other hand, was opposite. With handsome guys around, her senses were delighted, and she became especially excited, sharing all kinds of embarrassing stories about Mi Jing. Nothing could stop her from talking!
Ruan Pianran was not very talkative; among everyone present, she was the quietest. Similarly struck by her allure, Chu Chen didn’t engage much with her but ended up drinking with Li Bao’er.
Though Chu Chen loved to have fun, he was also prudent. Although Ruan Pianran was beautiful, he wasn’t smitten immediately. Plus, since she was Mi Jing’s good friend, he couldn’t just casually flirt with her.
With Li Bao’er present, the atmosphere at the table was lively. However, Mi Jing pitied her friend for having such an indiscreet mouth, sacrificing her image to become Li Bao’er’s source of entertainment for everyone.
"Come on! Congratulations on your wedding! Cheers!" Li Bao’er, her face already flushed from drinking, raised her glass and stood up, enthusiastically toasting in Shen Lingxing’s direction.
"Don’t drink anymore!"
Shen Lingxing didn’t drink often, but he had a good tolerance. This meal was for fun, so he didn’t refuse any drinks. He was just about to toast with Li Bao’er but was stopped by Mi Jing.
"It’s okay, I can handle it." Shen Lingxing enjoyed Mi Jing’s concern, smiling as he spoke.
"You have to work tomorrow!" Mi Jing didn’t let go of the glass and sternly reminded Shen Lingxing with a glare.
Living under the same roof for more than half a month, Mi Jing had come to understand Shen Lingxing a bit. He was very disciplined, drank little, didn’t smoke, and had a regular routine—late nights and early mornings. This was likely related to his work. With a few drinks in, Mi Jing still had a clear head, constantly thinking about the fact that Shen Lingxing was a doctor. If drinking affected his work, it could endanger lives.
"Jing, what are you doing? Let go! This toast must be drunk!" Courage bolstered by alcohol, Li Bao’er glanced at Mi Jing’s hand on the glass, sternly insisting.
"I’ll drink for him."
Not wanting to dampen the mood, Mi Jing took Shen Lingxing’s glass and downed it in one go. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
"Is this good enough?" Mi Jing inverted the glass and glanced at Li Bao’er, then shot a look at Bai Lulu, indicating she should keep Li Bao’er in check. If Li Bao’er ended up getting drunk, Mi Jing didn’t want to have to drag her back.
Bai Lulu shared Mi Jing’s sentiment; she also didn’t want to have to drag Li Bao’er back home. Every time they took the drunk Li Bao’er home, it was exhausting and, on top of that, they had to endure the displeased looks from her husband, as if they had intentionally gotten her wasted.
Having those past experiences, Bai Lulu hurriedly pulled Li Bao’er to sit down, took her glass away, and replaced it with a cola.
"I haven’t had enough!" Li Bao’er quietly complained to Bai Lulu.
"You should hold back! I’ll drink next, and you eat more." Saying so, Bai Lulu stood up with her glass, politely toasting Shen Lingxing, "Director, I’ll toast you! Wishing you and Jingjing a long, happy marriage and lots of children!"
Hearing this, Mi Jing frowned, thinking, why is even Lulu following Li Bao’er’s lead? Are they not stopping until they’re drunk?
Just as she was about to help Shen Lingxing with another drink, Mi Jing wasn’t quick enough this time and couldn’t stop it.
Shen Lingxing poured a glass of wine and elegantly mimed clinking glasses with Bai Lulu from a distance before downing it in one go.
Long, happy marriage, and lots of children! He loved hearing that and would definitely give her a raise! Shen Lingxing’s mouth lifted in a smile, showing all his happiness and satisfaction.
"Fourth Brother, I’ll toast you too!"
Seeing how happy her Fourth Brother was, Chu Chen also grew bold and joined in the fun. However, the following drinks were all intercepted by Mi Jing, who acted like a valiant woman warrior, not letting Shen Lingxing touch another drop.
In the end, everyone was highly entertained, and though no one got too drunk, most were tipsy. Only Shen Lingxing, protected by Mi Jing, remained completely sober. After the gathering, Shen Lingxing arranged for a driver to take everyone home. Once they all got into the cars, he and Mi Jing sat in a Rolls-Royce that had been waiting for a long time.
"My car..."
