Chapter 46: Chapter 46: Truly Drunk or Pretending?
Lu Beichen suddenly asked, "Did you take care of Shen Congjun like this before?"
There was a tinge of jealousy in his voice, and even his raised brows carried a bit of mischief. The usually gentle and calm man acted like a child throwing a tantrum when drunk.
It seems that every man has a child living inside him. He showed it so openly in front of Ji Niandong, who didn’t mind his nonsense. Ignoring that person’s name, she replied with a hint of a smile, "Not everyone acts like a lord when they’re drunk!"
"So, you’re saying no?" He leaned over, pulled her into his arms, and asked with his head tilted, "Serving me so diligently, does it mean you’re in love with me?"
His voice was even more low and pleasant, yet he just clung to her like a rascal.
The initial nervousness of moving in together suddenly eased away, and it just felt light and warm.
Ji Niandong took a breath and patiently asked, "Little Uncle, do you want to go back to the room to rest?"
She helped him up and led him to the room. As the lights turned on one by one, the house was instantly filled with the feeling of life.
Lu Beichen reached to press his temples; his tightly furrowed brows looked slightly uncomfortable. Ji Niandong stretched her fingers in front of him and made an ’OK’ gesture, asking, "How many fingers?" freewebnσvel.cѳm
"3!" His hand still massaging his temples, but his mouth curled up into a smile.
"So you weren’t drunk!" Ji Niandong murmured softly, letting go of his hand, her face starting to blush.
Lu Beichen stopped fooling around, sat on the bed with a hand supporting his head, and explained slightly, "I drank a little too much out of happiness; now my head hurts again!"
While chatting with her during the meal, he drank one glass after another, scarcely stopping, and barely touched his food, having drunk pretty much on an empty stomach.
Ji Niandong did remind him once, but he just smiled at her and said he was happy!
Ever since she agreed to marry him, he indeed had always been very happy.
Ji Niandong took a breath, stepped forward, and started massaging his temples, with skillful and moderate pressure. Slowly, Lu Beichen’s facial expression relaxed, and he wrapped his arms around her waist, resting his head on her, eyes closed, enjoying it.
At first, thinking he was drunk, being held by him gradually seemed soothing and justified. Now knowing he wasn’t drunk and still being so affectionate, Ji Niandong suddenly didn’t know where to rest her gaze.
She looked up at the ceiling and softly asked, "Feeling better?"
"Mhm!" he responded in a low voice.
Her hands didn’t stop, "Don’t get drunk in the future. A little drink is fine, but getting too drunk harms the body! My dad is lying in the hospital now because he drank excessively every day. At first, he also drank too much and had headaches; I’d massage him and he’d be fine, but later he drank too much and got nauseous, and finally had a cerebral hemorrhage and got diagnosed with liver cancer." Her voice trembled a little as she spoke, "So, don’t drink so much again in the future!"
"Yeah, I know. It’s just that I was too happy thinking about living together with you in the future!" He heard her concern, tightened his hold on her a bit, and even his tone carried a soothing note.
Ji Niandong finally felt assured and asked, "Do we have any hangover medicine at home?"
"No. It doesn’t hurt anymore!" He didn’t want her to worry, so he raised his head, looked at her clearly, seemingly really fine.
With him staring at her, Ji Niandong’s eyes immediately darted elsewhere, "Then go take a hot shower. I’ll check the fridge for something to fill your stomach; it’ll help!"
She released him and quickly ran towards the living room!
Watching her retreating figure, Lu Beichen couldn’t help but smile. He took a whiff of the alcohol on himself and turned to the bathroom.
