Chapter 25 - Chapter 25: Chapter Twenty-five: A Wine Ghost (2/2)

“That’s it, just this one glass. No more, enjoy it, you little glutton.”

“So stingy.” Su Wenyue muttered under her breath, happily accepted the wine, took a small sip, and squinted her eyes in enjoyment, looking every bit the part of a wine enthusiast. This amused both Han Yu and the Su family.

But a small cup was really not enough. Su Wenyue drank very sparingly, sipping just a little each time, and soon, her cup was empty. She looked at Su Hengxuan, who didn’t give her the slightest attention. After scanning the room and seeing no chance of more wine, she put down her cup and turned to Han Yu with a mischievous idea.

Men have it better indeed! Drinking without such restrictions, looking at the wine in Han Yu’s cup, Su Wenyue thought that since Han Yu had treated her well today, maybe she could… Hehe, she reached out and tugged at Han Yu’s clothes. When Han Yu looked at her, she quickly looked at his cup of wine, her intentions clear.

Han Yu raised an eyebrow, not realizing his wife enjoyed wine this much. Seeing how eagerly she looked at the wine, he was amused. However, in front of his father-in-law and cousin, it wasn’t good to indulge her. Plus, from the looks of it, Su Wenyue wasn’t someone who drank often. Although the wine was tasty, it also had a strong kick. Su Wenyue had already had a small cup, and another might lead to her getting drunk.

Seeing that Han Yu understood her, Su Wenyue blinked her eyes and flashed a pleasing smile, thinking Han Yu was quite understanding. But once again, her request was ignored, and the smile on Su Wenyue’s face stiffened as she let go of Han Yu’s clothes, her gaze still lingering on the cup of wine.

Su Wenyue had finally found an opportunity as Han Yu and Mr. Su were deep in conversation. A newly filled cup of wine was on the table, and she stealthily stretched out her hand, trying to sneak a little wine. Unfortunately, Han Yu noticed her every move from start to finish.

Han Yu glanced at Su Wenyue, his eyes filled with a warning. Su Wenyue’s hand hesitated. He really was too shrewd! Fully engaged in the conversation, he still managed to pay attention to her. It’s not like he had eyes in the back of his head, thought Su Wenyue in her mind, yet her hand didn’t move away from the wine cup.

Based on past experiences, the daughter-in-law was usually quite sensible. Han Yu thought that Su Wenyue would withdraw her hand obediently, but he underestimated the allure of fine wine to a wine enthusiast. After pondering for a moment, Su Wenyue quickly brought the cup to her lips and gulped down the contents in one go, allowing no one the chance to stop her. Han Yu’s eyes twitched; this little girl… was the wine really that irresistible?

“Daughter, you, you…” Mr. Su stuttered, clearly shocked. Neither Mr. Su nor the An family knew about their daughter’s fondness for alcohol and they were nearly floored by the scene.

“Pfft!” Su Hengxuan had not expected his younger sister to show such a delightful side and nearly spit out the wine in his mouth from laughing. It was hilarious! Looking at Han Yu’s dumbfounded expression, he was even more amused. His sister was no ordinary woman; she was full of surprises, and he had had his fair share of cleaning up her messes. It wasn’t easy for Han Yu to have such a wife. Thinking this, Su Hengxuan felt less inclined to trouble Han Yu. Being a man was tough, but being his sister’s husband was even tougher.

After his initial surprise, Han Yu grew worried that Su Wenyue might easily get drunk from drinking so much. His cup, much larger than Su Wenyue’s tiny one, was filled to the brim with wine, and she had just gulped it down in a few hefty swigs..
