Chapter 92: Drinking Leisurely (2/2)
Hua Zhentian tore away the mud seal on the jar, the fragrance of the wine immediately assailed one’s nostrils. Before the wine had been poured, light and graceful footsteps came through the doorway. Hua Shuirou had heard sounds of her father’s return, after a bit of hesitation, she relented and came out of her room only to see him and Ye Wuchen about to start their drinking session.
Seeing Ye Wuchen now had teasing implications as Hua Shuirou suddenly remembered the violation he had committed and red clouds immediately covered her entire face, all across her snow white neck. Her shyness had made her look even more lovely. Ye Wuchen could not help a quiet sigh. If he had really let such a woman slip by, it would have been his greatest regret.
“Daddy, you are home.” The well-behaved daughter lowered her head to utter words timidly and worriedly. She did not yet know if this man, who had deeply entered her heart, had already proposed.
“Haha, my good daughter, you are just in time. Your father has finally met a fearless young man. Quickly, come and pour us some wine. No matter what happens today, I will surely drink to my heart’s content.”
Looking at the two big bowls on the otherwise empty table, Hua Shuirou blinked her eyes and said, “Daddy, are you going to start drinking now?”
“Of course!” said Hua Zhentian while patting his belly impatiently.
“But, bowls as big as these, he… he…” Hua Shui Rou faltered, her eyes stealthily looked to Ye Wuchen from time to time. She clearly knew her father’s capacity for wine and was starting to feel nervous for Ye Wuchen. Furthermore, her father obviously only planned to drink. Even if he could stand it, an average person would not be able to last…… bodily injury would surely ensue.
Hua Zhentian narrowed his eyes, letting out a mischievous laughter, “My good daughter, for so many years, this is the first time that you are concerned about another person. Don’t worry, I can see this young fellow is absolutely not a man that likes losing. Judging by his deceitful laugh, he is clearly not someone who intends to get drunk, instead he probably plans to get me drunk….. Hehe! I don’t think you can though.”
“Elder Hua you are quite heavy with your words. My capacity for liquor is very low, how can I be compared to Elder Hua? I came because of our prior agreement. I fear I might return home in my sleep.” Ye Wuchen said laughing. That face full of smiles almost gave Hua Zhentian the urge to beat him up… Is this the face of someone who worried about going home drunk?!
Hua Shuirou stole another glance at Ye Wuchen. He bent the corner of his mouth, giving her a small smile to at least give her some relief. Hua Shuirou turned her head, as if being electrocuted, then furtively looked at her father’s expression, fearing that he would discover the abnormal behavior between her and Ye Wuchen. Even if her body and heart had already decided to belong to him, she, as a conservative woman, still had some remnants of guilt, like she had just eaten some forbidden fruit.
