Lu Wanwan also helped herself with a few glasses of sparkling wine. She hadn’t drunk much that already her face was a deep red.
She seemed drunk and yet not drunk, her eyes looked misty.
After just a few bites, Shen Yi put down his chopsticks and stopped eating. His eyes looked blandly in front of him, it seemed like he was looking at Shen Shi’s daughter.
Shen Xin also did not have much of an appetite. As she was holding the child while coaxing her to eat her meal, she raised her head and smiled, “Just now I mentioned the topic to Wanwan, I was wondering when you two plan to have a child ?”
“You, second brother, seem to like children a lot.”
Lu Wanwan’s lips curled up, being amused by her words. Being a little intoxicated, she began to act senselessly.
With a smile on her face, her watery eyes looked at the man beside her: “Do you want to have children?”
Shen Yi knew she was drunk and lightly held her fingers: “I do.”
Lu Wanwan covered her mouth, laughing sneakily, “I also want to.”
The man was stunned for a moment and, touching her hot cheeks, said softly, “You’re good when you’re drunk.”
(33.1)
Lu Wanwan felt very uncomfortable, her head was dizzy and she even felt nauseous.
The next day when she woke up, her head was still aching.
On the bedside low table, there was a sober-up soup who had been prepared in advance for her. After drinking the small bowl of soup, her head really did feel less dizzy compared to before.
Shen Yi wasn’t in the room, it seemed like he had gotten up a long time ago.
After dressing herself, Lu Wanwan went downstairs. When Shi Xin saw her, she covered her mouth and laughed, very embarrassed: “I’m really sorry, I shouldn’t have made you drink last night.”
Lu Wanwan drank a mouthful of water and sat down beside her: “I’m the one who is a poor drinker.”
Shi Xin put her hand before her lips as she laughed softly: “You and Shen Yi are really affectionate.”
The two of them were all lovey-dovey, like lovebirds. One had yet to see Shen Yi being so patient towards anyone else.
Having just gotten up from bed, Lu Wanwan didn’t remember much of last night’s events, but after sitting down for a while and thinking back on what happened last night, she remembered many of the astonishing words she had said last night.
She kept pestering Shen Yi, asking him repeatedly, “You’re drunk too, right?”
Shen Yi clearly answered her, but she absolutely couldn’t believe it.
With much difficulty, she was coaxed into going upstairs, back to their room, where she refused to obediently wash up. Sitting on the edge of the bed, she was kicking her bare feet around and, looking at him with a bright smile, she asked him bluntly, “Are you able to get hard when you’re drunk ah?”
Lu Wanwan was too embarrassed to think about what she had said last night.
Shi Xin served Lu Wanwan a glass of milk and said, partially joking , “Wanwan I remember you don’t have a job, right?”
“Mmh.”
What did she mean a job? If she couldn’t escape Shen Yi, then she might as well be a high and dignified lady who awaits for food while doing nothing.
“I have a few vacant position in my company, so if you’re interested you can come over anytime.” After that, she sighed: “I also want to be like you, but unfortunately I am a person who can’t stay idle.”
The relationship between Shi Xin and her husband wasn’t actually that good, Shen Shi respected her very much, but their life as a couple always lacked a bit of meaning.
Shi Xin was well aware that, back then, the only reason he was willing to marry her was only because she was the most suitable person, he didn’t hold any love for her, nor much affection.
The two families were of an equal status and she was magnanimous and gentle. These were the only reasons why Shen Shi finally chose to marry her.
Shi Xin was not a naive lady who didn’t know anything, she knew her husband had been keeping a female student as a mistress for several years already.
She could pretend not to know, for she would always be Mrs. Shen.
But Shi Xin was still very envious of Lu Wanwan and Shen Yi.
She smiled lightly as she asked, “You and Shen Yi got together in high school, you’ve been together for so many years down the road, it really makes one envious. ”
Lu Wanwan wasn’t paying attention to her words, her mind was full of thoughts about where Shen Yi had gone early in the morning.
Right as she was thinking about him, Shen Yi appeared at the entrance of the stairway.
The expression on his face wasn’t very good. His fingers were twisted. Last night, he had finally seen the ending of that long dream.
Shen Yi watched as Lu Wanwan argued with him, shouting with all the strength of her voice, she cried and screamed, while they seemed to have spent a long, very long time inside that apartment.
Her sharp edges were all polished by him, bit by bit. Her pair of eyes, which longed for freedom, gradually turned calm and the bright light in them became dull.
He watched the young girl cry in front of him, and then wrapping her arms around his neck, laughing sweetly.
At the end, Shen Yi saw her sitting on the windowsill, her pair of slender smooth little legs were hanging in mid-air, swaying, as half of her body was leaning against the window, her black hair was fluttering in the wind, messily and beautifully, under the moonlight, her glowing face was brilliant and bright.
