Chapter 109 After the drunk Ruan Liuzheng

finished chatting with Fu Jingcheng, Xie Qingcen slowly left his room. As he entered the living room, a faint aroma of alcohol rushed into his nose.

Xie Qingcen paused, and he walked to the French window with a faint smile, his handsome eyebrows and eyes showing a soft light.

Ruan Liuzheng had placed a small table in front of the French window at some point, and she was sitting leisurely at the table. On the table were two bottles of red wine that looked vaguely familiar.

Her cold eyes were slightly tipsy, which seemed a bit unusual.

Xie Qingcen sat down opposite Ruan Liuzheng without hesitation, his eyes gentle, "Why do you want to drink?"

Ruan Liuzheng's expression paused when she heard the voice, and she turned her head a little slowly, a sense of sobriety in her hazy eyes.

She spoke lightly, her cold voice with a barely perceptible hoarseness, "Are you worried about your wine?"

The wine on the table was all taken from Xie Qingcen's house when she took advantage of his absence.

It wasn't that Ruan Liuzheng was being sentimental, but rather that her wine cabinet at home was bare, leaving her with nothing to drink, and tonight she had a craving for alcohol.

Ruan Liuzheng wasn't a big drinker, nor did she have any opinions about it, but she once forced herself to drink until she had a stomach bleed in order to secure a project for Fu Yanci.

Later, she injured her stomach, so Ruan Liuzheng rarely touched anything stimulating like alcohol.

However, today, upon hearing her mother's name from Wen Jiming's mouth, Ruan Liuzheng suddenly felt the urge to drink.

Not wanting to suppress herself, she decided to let loose, breaking her own boundaries and heading to Xie Qingcen's house to get some wine.

She chose the two most expensive and best bottles at the top of the cabinet.

As for the password to Xie Qingcen's apartment, Xie Qingcen had told her the password long before Ruan Liuzheng agreed to be together.

In return, Ruan Liuzheng naturally shared the password to her apartment, bringing the balance of their relationship to an extreme.

Ruan Liuzheng raised her eyes, her eyes were moist and sparkling, a few strands of hair were messily stuck to both sides of her cheeks, she was ignorant and unaware.

Xie Qingcen gently curled his lips, there was no trace of blame in his dark eyes.

He reached out and gently tidied the strands of hair around Ruan Liuzheng's eyes, his voice clear and smooth, "Wine is not bought as a decoration. As long as it can make people happy, then I bought this wine for a purpose."

Ruan Liuzheng blinked, and after a long silence, she finally responded.

She nodded slightly, her cold eyes were not as clear and rational as usual, but a little hazy.

She turned her head, raised her hand and pointed at another red wine glass, her eyes slightly hazy, "Do you want to drink?"

Xie Qingcen raised his eyes and glanced at the bottle of red wine on the table that was obviously half empty, and the corners of his thin lips unconsciously pursed.

These were two bottles of red wine from his collection. Not only were they rare, but they were also the highest in alcohol. One glass could easily intoxicate a grown man, and one with a decent alcohol tolerance.

Now, Ruan Liuzheng had drunk most of the bottle by herself, so…

He frowned and took the bottle from her. “You’re drunk.”

Ruan Liuzheng shook her head. She tilted her head back, her beautiful features hinting at a hint of discontent. “I’m not drunk. I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. I just…”

Xie Qingcen smiled softly, his dark eyes gazing at the woman before him, speaking outrageously. He sighed softly, then stood up, walked around the table, and approached Ruan Liuzheng.

He raised his hand to support her shaking body, his voice helpless, "But what? Little drunk cat, I wanted to tell you a good news, but now it seems that you can only wait a little longer."

Ruan Liuzheng narrowed his eyes, and his cold eyes cleared for a moment. She looked at Xie Qingcen, her voice slightly drunk and soft, "What good news?"

She straightened her back and sat upright. She was obviously a little confused due to being drunk, but she looked serious and obedient.

Xie Qingcen half-knelt in front of Ruan Liuzheng, his eyelids slightly raised, a faint smile appeared in his dark eyes.

He half-lay on Ruan Liuzheng's knees, looked up at Ruan Liuzheng, "A good news for you. Now I will take you back to the room to rest, okay?"

His voice was soft, with a hint of coaxing, his eyebrows were soft, and he was indescribably doting.

Ruan Liuzheng tilted her head, her cold eyes fixed on Xie Qingcen. She unconsciously licked her lips. "Will you sleep with me?"

Xie Qingcen's eyes froze for a moment, then a faint smile played at the corner of his lips, his voice clear and magnetic.

She hadn't expected someone as cold and rational as Ruan Liuzheng to be so bold and passionate after drinking.

It was fortunate that it was him and not someone else she saw tonight, otherwise... Xie Qingcen didn't know how jealous she would be.

Xie Qingcen's laughter faded, his eyes slightly raised, a hint of comfort between his elegant brows. He smiled and opened his lips. "Are you sure you won't regret this tomorrow morning?"

Ruan Liuzheng shook her head, a flicker of sleepiness in her cold eyes.

She stared at Xie Qingcen in a daze, her attention suddenly drawn to his round, white Adam's apple. It rolled slightly as Xie Qingcen spoke, and her gaze followed suit.

Ruan Liuzheng instinctively pursed her lips. She reached out and suddenly wrapped her arms around Xie Qingcen's neck, pressing her jade-like cheek against his, her eyes slightly innocent. "You're so nagging."

With that, she leaned forward and, relying on her instincts, gently bit the snow-white Adam's apple

just inches away. Xie Qingcen was stunned.

The smile in his eyes didn't even have time to fade, all his senses focused on the spot beneath his jaw.

But his hands instantly grasped Ruan Liuzheng's waist, preventing her from falling as she staggered drunkenly.

It took a long time for Xie Qingcen to finally react, as if waking from a dream. He unconsciously moved his lips, and his Adam's apple rolled against Ruan Liuzheng's mouth.

Ruan Liuzheng felt the restlessness beneath her teeth. She raised her eyes in dissatisfaction, glared at Xie Qingcen fiercely, and then applied a little pressure with her teeth.

Xie Qingcen's arms tightened around Ruan Liuzheng, and he couldn't suppress a soft hum in his throat, his dark eyes darkening slightly.

There seemed to be waves surging in his eyes.

He pursed his lips, forcibly suppressing the desire surging in his heart, and then raised his eyes, knowing that he could no longer let Ruan Liuzheng go on like this.

He took a deep breath and forcefully pushed away Ruan Liuzheng who was clinging to him, his dark eyes surging with desire.

His voice was hoarse and his eyes were deep.

"I don't want you to do anything you will regret."

Ruan Liuzheng's eyes were completely hazy. She could only hear Xie Qingcen's voice, but could not think about what Xie Qingcen meant.

She blinked and sat quietly in the chair, her eyebrows lowered, her beautiful eyebrows and eyes gleaming with a little cold light in the dim light.

Charming and beautiful.

However, she didn't last more than two seconds, and sleepiness came over her. Ruan Liuzheng curled the corners of her lips towards Xie Qingcen, and then fell into Xie Qingcen's arms without warning.

She closed her eyes as a matter of course and fell asleep in Xie Qingcen's arms, her sleeping face peaceful.

Xie Qingcen was slightly stunned. Looking at the woman in his arms, a hint of helplessness flashed across his handsome brows.

He raised his hand and pinched the tip of Ruan Liuzheng's nose with a hint of anger. Then, resignedly, he picked her up and carried her back to her room. The next

day

, Ruan Liuzheng woke up, hungover. She glanced around. Memories of last night were a little hazy, but bits and pieces of them still came flooding back into her mind.

She froze, a rare flicker of embarrassment in her eyes.

But then, as if a thought struck her, she glanced down at herself under the covers, seeing she was still wearing the same clothes from yesterday.

Though her eyes held disdain, her heart settled.

"Are you worried I'll take advantage of you?"

Just as Ruan Liuzheng breathed a sigh of relief, a clear, smiling voice suddenly echoed from the doorway.

Ruan Liuzheng looked in the direction of the voice.

She saw—

Xie Qingcen had appeared at the doorway without her noticing. He leaned lazily against the doorframe, a faint smile on his handsome face.

His skin was fair, his brows were deep, and his dark eyes were like a clear spring, the bottom of which could be seen through.

But there was a flaw.

Ruan Liuzheng stared intently at the pink of his Adam's apple, her rosy lips unconsciously pursed into a straight line.

The embarrassment in her eyes slowly deepened.

She subconsciously frowned, her gaze averted.

Xie Qingcen seemed oblivious. He strolled over to Ruan Liuzheng, pressing the kiss mark on her neck, and sat down beside her bed.

His brows were clear and elegant. "Very good, it seems you remember everything from last night."

Ruan Liuzheng pursed her lips, her cold eyes slightly raised. But before she could say anything, Xie Qingcen pressed his index finger against her soft lips.

His brows lowered. "You are not suited to lying. For us, twisting the truth is too childish."

Ruan Liuzheng's words suddenly caught in her throat. She took a deep breath, and her eyes were almost immediately fixed on Xie Qingcen's round Adam's apple, slightly flushed.

She rubbed her brows with a slight headache, "Being with a smart person like you is sometimes a burden."

Even quibbling is not allowed, and she really doesn't intend to give her any face.

Xie Qingcen smiled, "It's not that I don't allow you to quibble, but I don't want you to deny the facts. What if you don't want to be responsible for me?"

The expression on Ruan Liuzheng's face froze for a moment.

Her brows were slightly frowned, and her eyes were a little hard to describe, "Am I not being responsible for you now?"

They are all together. Isn't it natural for normal lovers to have some overly intimate actions?

Xie Qingcen raised his eyebrows, and did not deny it, but smiled lightly, "But I want to hear you admit it yourself, Xiao Liuzheng, you were unusually passionate last night."

He raised his hand and tapped his Adam's apple, the very obvious evidence.

There was a hint of a smile in his clear and elegant eyebrows.

Ruan Liuzheng looked at him quietly, feeling her eyebrows twitching violently. She said as if to compromise, "I don't need you to remind me, I remember everything."

"I will be responsible for you. Unless you take the initiative to cheat or ask for a breakup, I, Ruan Liuzheng, will never let you down."
