Young Master Xiang, Leave Me Alone - C168
Chapter 168 – Drunkenness
Right now, the group of bodyguards were just secretly observing if there were any paparazzi around. If this news were to spread, who knew how the media would report it! They might even say that the president of the Xiang Group was too stingy, and actually asked a beautiful lady to eat at a roadside stall!
Tao Chu Liang, on the other hand, looked very relaxed. Compared to the low-key, luxurious Western Restaurant, she preferred to stay here. He poured himself a glass of white wine and took a sip.
“Didn’t you say you were going to drink? Why didn’t you drink it? ” Tao Chu Liang looked at Xiang Chen Xi who still had an uncomfortable expression.
Xiang Chen Xi reached out his hand and took the plastic cup. His face had a look of disdain, but he endured it, and imitated Tao Chu Liang as he took a sip of the white wine.
This white wine was too spicy! Xiang Chen Xi felt his throat become hot and he immediately started coughing.
Tao Chu Liang looked at him with concern and asked in shock, “You don’t know how to drink this?”
“Never.” Xiang Chen Xi tried to calm himself down as quickly as possible, and said while pretending to be calm.
Tao Chu Liang said indifferently: “You can choose not to drink it, or ask your bodyguard to buy you two bottles of red wine.”
“How hard is it to drink?” Xiang Chen Xi said expressionlessly, and drank another mouthful of wine. This time he endured it and did not cough out loud, but he still did not look well.
“Miss, your barbecue is done.” The boss walked over with a smile while carrying a plate of barbecue and placed it in front of the two.
Tao Chu Liang lowered his head and took a whiff, to be honest, she had never eaten much before, so the smell wasn’t too bad, and after eating a mouthful, he immediately exclaimed: “It’s delicious!”
Xiang Chen Xi picked up the disposable chopsticks given by the shop owner, looking at the chopsticks, his face twitched again. However, he had been very cultured since he was a child. He didn’t say anything as he picked up a piece of tenderloin and stuffed it into his mouth.
After chewing for a bit, Xiang Chen Xi frowned: “This seasoning tastes too good, it’s not good to eat too much. Eat less.”
Tao Chu Liang did not think much of it: “Since we’re here, how can we be so particular. Those kids in the village, like Hu Zi’s family, how long would it take for them to eat a piece of meat?
The chopsticks in Xiang Chen Xi’s hand stopped for a moment. Lu Yu must be having a hard time in that poor mountain village these past few years. Every time he held her hand, he could feel a thick cocoon on top of it. It was rare for a girl’s hand to have this kind of feeling.
“As long as you’re happy.” Xiang Chen Xi’s attitude softened.
“Do you have a girl you like in your heart?” Tao Chu Liang asked without warning.
Xiang Chen Xi was a little stunned, he did not know how to reply, and said in a low voice: “I guess so.”
Tao Chu Liang had always hoped in his heart that his answer could be used to deny her. Only in this way would he feel that the good he had done for her in the past two days was acceptable. But, why was he so good to himself when he already had someone in his heart?
“Then why did you bring me out to play these past two days? Also, what’s the meaning of last night’s meteor shower?” Tao Chu Liang felt that he was injured. He liked to play with others.
‘Beginning… Lu Yu, I just want to be good to you. There is no reason, nor is there a need for a reason. ” Xiang Chen Xi looked at her, not knowing what to say. Even he did not know how to answer this question.
Hearing his words, Tao Chu Liang felt even more ridiculous. What did he mean by wanting to be good to her? She picked up her glass and drank.
“Lu Yu… “Wait a little longer, after some time, I will think of a way to bring you out of there.” Xiang Chen Xi did not dare promise, he was afraid in his heart, afraid that the result would be him recognizing the wrong person, he was afraid that Lu Yu was not Chu Liang.
“I don’t want to marry that Zhao Jing at all. I haven’t even seen him before.” Tao Chu Liang drank another mouthful of wine.
Xiang Chen Xi looked at Tao Chu Liang, to think that she would actually say the truth in front of him.
“Since you don’t want to marry him, you should tell your parents.” Xiang Chen Xi said.
Tao Chu Liang’s eyes were a little red. “I don’t want to disobey them. They are my only family.”
Xiang Chen Xi was speechless. Looking at Tao Chu Liang who drank so much that it was hard to drink, he could not bear to continue. He said unyieldingly, “Stop drinking, if you continue drinking, you’ll get drunk.”
“It’s fine if you don’t want to drink it, but I’ll drink it myself.” Tao Chu Liang was very stubborn.
“Alright, if you want to drink it, I’ll accompany you!” Xiang Chen Xi raised his wine cup and took a big gulp. He had never tasted white wine before, so his stomach felt like there was a fire burning inside.
“Anyway, I won’t be able to see you again. Drink!” Tao Chu Liang’s usual gentle appearance had unexpectedly changed to one of extreme heroism.
The two didn’t touch the barbecue, but drank the two bottles of white spirits very quickly. Soon, they ran out of wine, and the two of them started to get drunk.
“Chu Liang, how come I didn’t know you could drink that much?” Xiang Chen Xi looked at the person in front of him and unconsciously called out Tao Chu Liang’s name.
“Who are you calling? I am Lu Yu. ” Tao Chu Liang looked at Xiang Chen Xi as if this man got drunk earlier than him.
“Chu Liang, I really can’t hold on any longer. If I don’t find you soon, I really don’t know what to do.” Xiang Chen Xi was already confused. This kind of old white wine on the street, with its strong alcohol power, and its quick arrival, Xiang Chen Xi was actually drunk, and had started to speak nonsense.
Just then, Xiang Chen Xi’s driver walked over and whispered in Xiang Chen Xi’s ear: “Sir, there are media people coming over, are we … …”
“Go away, I still want to drink with Chu Liang!” Xiang Chen Xi’s face was completely red, without any of his usual restraint, he directly berated the driver.
The driver looked at Xiang Chen Xi helpless, he did not know what to do, Mr. Xiang had never been drunk before, he did not know what was going on today. But if he still did not leave, if he was caught by those media people, then when Xiang Chen Xi woke up tomorrow, he would lose his job, and Xiang Chen Xi would greet him in advance.
“Let’s pull him back together. I’ll explain it to him tomorrow.” She was not drunk yet and was still conscious. She knew that if Xiang Chen Xi was photographed in this kind of place, there would definitely be trouble.
The two of them carried Xiang Chen Xi up from the left and right, and directly helped him walk into the car. After finally getting into the car, the driver finally felt relieved, but he didn’t know where to go.
“Let’s go back to the villa. I’ll take good care of him.” Tao Chu Liang forced herself to say this to the driver, but she did not know how much longer she would be able to hold on once the alcohol was in place.
As if he had received an amnesty, the driver immediately stepped on the gas pedal and left. As soon as Xiang Chen Xi left, a large number of media personnel with cameras appeared next to the barbeque stall, but did not see anything.
When they reached the entrance of the villa, the driver sent Tao Chu Liang and Xiang Chen Xi inside before leaving. In the entire villa, only Tao Chu Liang and Xiang Chen Xi were left.
Tao Chu Liang himself was already feeling dizzy, and it took a lot of effort for him to support Xiang Chen Xi onto the sofa. Xiang Chen Xi’s clearly defined face was slightly red, it was because he drank, but it still did not affect his good looks.
Tao Chu Liang opened the blanket on the sofa and covered Xiang Chen Xi’s body. He was already drunk, so he could only sleep here for the night.
Looking at his face, Tao Chu Liang felt that it was becoming more and more blurry, and that she was about to get drunk, so she wanted to go back to her room and sleep while she was still awake. But at this moment, a hand grabbed her, tightly, without the slightest intention of letting go.
Tao Chu Liang turned his head, looked at Xiang Chen Xi who had his eyes closed, and shouted: “Mr. Xiang, let go, I’m going back to my room.”
Xiang Chen Xi seemed to hear someone calling him, so he struggled to open his eyes. Through the slit of his eyes, he seemed to see the face he had been looking forward to for a long time, it was Chu Liang!
“Chu Liang! Where did you go? I’ve been looking for you! ” Xiang Chen Xi clenched Tao Chu Liang’s hands even more tightly.
Tao Chu Liang was startled, the wine had also woken up a little, what did he call his? Chu Liang? Was the person whom he thought of day and night named Chu Liang?
A trace of sadness flashed past her eyes, she hardened her heart and pulled her hand out of Xiang Chen Xi’s palm, then turned around and headed back to her own room.
“Chu Liang! “Don’t ever leave me again!” Xiang Chen Xi shouted fiercely, and his entire person rolled down from the sofa and landed on the ground.
Tao Chu Liang was shocked by the sound. He looked at Xiang Chen Xi who was lying on the floor and thought that he had never been in a difficult situation like today. Was that girl really that important to him? Tao Chu Liang’s heart ached, she anxiously returned to Xiang Chen Xi’s side, and realised that his face was covered with tears!
He cried! Tao Chu Liang felt a sharp pain in her heart. She extended a hand to caress his face, which was burning hot to the point that even her tears were warm. Tao Chu Liang’s fingertips gently caressed his face, wiping away the tears on his face. To be able to make the usually cold and calm Xiang Chen Xi become like this, how unforgettable was this feeling?!
Tao Chu Liang resisted the pain in his heart, and wrapped his arms around Xiang Chen Xi, wanting to drag him back onto the sofa. But a strong force came as Xiang Chen Xi pulled Tao Chu Liang closer to him and hugged her tightly in his embrace. Tao Chu Liang was stunned.
She struggled, wanting to struggle free from his embrace, but Xiang Chen Xi held her tighter.
In a daze, Xiang Chen Xi opened his eyes. It was as if he saw the same astonished face as Chu Liang. No, the one in front of him was Chu Liang! At this moment, he only wanted to never let go of her again, so that she wouldn’t disappear from his sight.
Xiang Chen Xi suddenly turned around, pressing Tao Chu Liang down on top of him.
Tao Chu Liang had awoken completely from his stupor! She anxiously shouted, “Mr. Xiang, what are you doing …” But — His lips stopped her.
