“How do you feel, any dizziness?” Han Yu hadn’t even finished asking when Su Wenyue’s complexion began to redden, her gaze somewhat hazy. Han Yu thought there was no need for an answer, anyone with eyes could see that his daughter-in-law was drunk.
Su Wenyue had indeed overestimated her tolerance for alcohol. The craving had made her rather forgetful of herself. In her previous life, she had been a heavy drinker, known for her ability to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. But that was in her past life. The body she inhabited now had barely touched alcohol. A small cup would have been fine, but she didn’t stop after a
large cup, and she had downed it in one gulp without pausing to eat anything in between. It would have been surprising if she weren’t drunk.
“I’m not drunk, what kind of drunk would I get from such little wine? You all underestimate me too much. I, Su Wenyue, can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. Come on, let’s keep drinking, I haven’t enjoyed myself like this in a long time.”
People who are drunk usually insist they’re not, and Su Wenyue was the typical example. Even though she felt a bit dizzy, she didn’t think she was drunk, convinced that she could go on and drink another three hundred cups.
Everyone looked at Su Wenyue and found her words somewhat speechless and yet amusing. Drink another three hundred cups? Just one cup had reduced her to this sorry state, she surely thought too highly of herself.
“Lady Yue, you’re drunk. Let me help you rest, okay?” Han Yu watched as Su Wenyue’s cheeks turned into red apples, afraid she might fall off her stool, and guarded her closely.
“I told you I’m not drunk. Didn’t you understand? I’m saying, Han Yu, how can your ears be so dull at such a young age? Truly pitiful. Drink, I still want to drink. Let’s drink together. The wine brewed by the Su Family is incomparable to anywhere else.” Su Wenyue attempted to get up, then staggered over to Han Yu, breathing into his ear. If Su Wenyue wasn’t drunk, she would surely have noticed his ears turned alarmingly red.
“I’ll tell you a secret; my daddy, to welcome his beloved son-in-law, brought out the fifty-year-old wine. We should drink more of it, or it would be such a waste.”
Even though it was meant to be a whisper, everyone in the room heard it. Han Yu’s face grew a bit embarrassed. Seeing Su Wenyue continuing to sway by his side, she nearly stumbled and fell to the ground. He quickly reached out and pulled her into his arms. Su Wenyue ceased her fussing and started to doze heavily in Han Yu’s embrace, her already delicate and rosy cheeks blushing even more, making her look extremely charming and irresistibly cute, making Han Yu’s throat suddenly feel dry.
“Father and Mother, Lady Yue is drunk. Please have a servant girl show the way, I’ll take her to rest first. Also, please prepare a bowl of hangover soup.”
Upon seeing this, the lady from the An Family approached and touched Su Wenyue’s feverish cheek: “Lady Yue, this little girl is really something, pretending to be able but look how she ended up drunk. We’ve just started eating. Son-in-law, you can hand Lady Yue over to me. I’ll take her to a servant girl to help her rest, and you gentlemen can continue to drink.”
Han Yu skillfully avoided the An Family lady’s intentions. He simply scooped Su Wenyue into his arms: “No need. I’ll carry her myself, lest she gets woken up and becomes troublesome again. Father-in-law and cousin, please continue to eat. I’ll come back after settling Lady Yue down.”
