Reborn as His Intellectually Disabled Wife-Chapter 685 - 686: Pouncing on Officer Gao
Shi Mei picked up the phone and went to the doorway to make a call.
Meanwhile, inside the private room, Xuanya Dongfang exclaimed, "Three twos!"
Gao Lian called, "Four twos."
"Five twos!" Xuanya Dongfang declared triumphantly.
Gao Lian raised an eyebrow, "Are you sure?"
"I’m sure!"
"I’m betting against you." Gao Lian lifted the lid of the dice cup in front of her, revealing three twos.
Xuanya Dongfang opened his as well, with not a single two, and immediately howled in dismay, "How can this be, you didn’t even have one, and you dared to claim four twos?"
"Tactics," Gao Lian closed the dice cup, "You lost, I’m not playing anymore."
"No way!" Xuanya Dongfang held his hand, looking unwilling, "You can’t just stop playing, I haven’t had enough fun yet, if I lose I’ll drink."
As he spoke, he picked up the glass in front of him and gulped it down in one go.
Gao Lian watched, alarmed, and said, "Why are you drinking so much? These are cocktails, they have a strong kick."
"It’s okay, I can hold my liquor well." Xuanya Dongfang said proudly, "Come on, let’s play again, come on!"
"No, you can’t drink anymore," Gao Lian refused without hesitation, "I can’t hold my liquor well, you should stop too."
"But I want to play," Xuanya Dongfang looked at him, blinked, and tried to make herself look a bit more adorable and natural, "Can’t you play with me?"
Gao Lian bluntly refused, "I can’t."
Xuanya Dongfang: "..."
So direct.
This must be what they call a ’straight man,’ right?
Fortunately, Xuanya Dongfang still had another tactic up her sleeve.
She pursed her lips slightly, lowered her head, and said, "Okay then, let’s just drop it."
The damsel in distress tactic.
Surely any man would be moved by such fragility...
"Mhm." Gao Lian put down his things.
Xuanya Dongfang: "..."
Impressive.
"I need to use the restroom." Gao Lian stood up and turned to head to the bathroom.
Xuanya Dongfang wasn’t quite ready to give up. Taking advantage of his absence, she downed two more drinks.
As soon as she set down the glass from her second drink, Gao Lian came back just in time.
Xuanya Dongfang blinked, "You seem to have been right, the aftereffect of this drink really is quite strong."
Gao Lian chuckled lightly, "I’ve said it before, it’s strong, you didn’t believe me, now stop drinking."
Xuanya Dongfang obediently replied, "Alright, I’ll listen to you. I’ll go to the restroom too."
Saying this, she stood up, but as she was about to walk away, her body suddenly swayed to the side.
Xuanya Dongfang exclaimed in surprise and quickly grabbed the table for support.
At the same time, a pair of hands caught her from behind.
In the darkness, Xuanya Dongfang revealed a triumphant smile.
But Gao Lian was completely oblivious, his thick eyebrows furrowed with concern, "Do you need me to help you get there?"
"No need, I can manage on my own." Saying this, she pushed away Gao Lian’s hands, but after just a few steps, she staggered sideways again.
Gao Lian quickly steadied her, feeling a bit of a headache. ’Why pretend to drink if you can’t handle it, really...’
Xuanya Dongfang: "..."
Impressive.
She seemed to have grasped the true essence of ’male chauvinism.’
Saying this, he had already escorted Xuanya Dongfang to the restroom door, "Here we are, go in by yourself."
"Oh..." Xuanya Dongfang stumbled into the restroom, tripping over her own feet, and at the moment she closed the door, she gave Gao Lian her most innocent and adorable smile.
Once the door shut behind her, Xuanya Dongfang locked it, immediately turned around to look in the mirror, and her vivacious demeanor showed no sign of drunkenness at all.
