Chapter 338: 338: I Still Want to Drink

“…You don’t like eating noodles?” Dan Hanjie asked when he saw her frown, raising an eyebrow in confusion.

He thought she was in a bad mood and might want something lighter, so he asked the kitchen to prepare a bowl of plain noodles.

“I like it!” Qin Youxuan hastily responded, “But even if I like it, I can’t eat it every day, every meal…”

And it’s these kind of plain noodles without any meat!

After Qin Youxuan finished speaking, her eyes were fixed on the plate of braised pork ribs in front of her, gulping.

The essence of China’s culinary delights is absolutely not vegetarian!

“…”

Dan Hanjie’s face stiffened, a flash of regret crossed his face.

“Actually, the noodles are not too bad.”

Thinking he was unhappy, Qin Youxuan quickly reached out for the bowl of noodles and started slurping them up.

After only a few bites, the bowl of noodles was taken away.

She paused.

The noodles she just put into her mouth hadn’t all been eaten when a couple of strands stuck to her chin, looking like a pair of whiskers. The scene was as ridiculous as you can imagine…

“Pfft–”

The surrounding servants couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Facing Dan Hanjie’s icy gaze, they quickly covered their mouths, turning their backs quietly.

“If you don’t want to eat, don’t. Eat your meal,” he said, pushing his rice bowl towards her. Seeing the strands of the comical noodles on Qin Youxuan’s chin, a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

“o(╯□╰)o…”

Qin Youxuan was utterly embarrassed.

After a while, she picked up a napkin to wipe her mouth and grabbed her chopsticks to start eating.

Just as she was picking at a few bites of white rice and about to get some vegetables, she caught a glimpse of a newspaper, just placed on the rack by a servant.

The headline featured a picture of Jin Chenye’s press conference…

“…”

Qin Youxuan’s hand tightened around her chopsticks, completely losing her appetite.

That was quick. The conference just ended, and the newspaper was hastily printed.

Without waiting for tomorrow, everyone would know that she lost to an illegitimate child, left with nothing.

“Dan Hanjie, I want to drink some wine.”

“…”

Dan Hanjie’s eyes narrowed as he watched her closely.

After a long time, he couldn’t read anything from her face and gestured to the butler to prepare the wine.

He chose Bordeaux wine with the lowest alcohol content.

“I’m not a kid, drinking this grape juice-like wine.” Qin Youxuan frowned, unhappy with the wine glass the butler placed before her.

“Bordeaux Winery’s wine is low in alcohol content, but it packs a punch. It’s good for someone like you, who can’t hold your liquor but wants to drown your sorrows,” Dan Hanjie pointed out her intentions with brutal honesty.

His captivating eyes gleamed dangerously.

“…”

Qin Youxuan’s hand holding the wine glass stiffened.

He was truly intimidating, his eyes seemed to see through everyone’s thoughts.

In front of him, she had nowhere to hide…

Qin Youxuan clenched the wine glass and drained it in one gulp.

She slammed her cup back on the table, “I want more.”

He had already seen through her, so might as well drink to her heart’s content!

“Well…”

The butler standing next to them instinctively glanced at Dan Hanjie. Seeing that he had no reaction, the butler quickly poured so wine for Qin Youxuan.

“Your pouring is too slow, I’ll do it myself.” Qin Youxuan grabbed the wine bottle and downed two cups in succession.

By the third cup, her face was already reddened, and it looked delicate and tender.

“All this pouring is really annoying…” Qin Youxuan grumbled under her breath. She blinked her slightly drunk eyes, held the bottle directly to her mouth, and started chugging.

She finished off the bottle of wine in one breath, let out a delicate burp, squinted at Dan Hanjie, licked her lips, “I want more…”

“…”

Dan Hanjie’s eyes darkened and an intense heat- desire, surged up, overwhelming him.
