386 The Secret About the Past 4 (1/2)
The meal went on smoothly and they shared the entire bottle of whiskey between themselves. Lin Mingxi could not hold her liquor well and thus got extremely tipsy while Gu Beicheng was still rather sober.
She could not even walk steadily when it was time for them to part.
Gu Beicheng had no choice but to help her into his car and send her home.
Once they got into his car, he reached out to help Lin Mingxi fasten her safety belt, only to have his hand grabbed by her all of a sudden. Staring at him with her eyes glassed over, she said, ”Gu Beicheng, can I tell you an honest opinion?”
”What is it?”
”I feel really good about you.”
She hugged his arm and placed her head on his shoulders while murmuring, ”Gu Beicheng, let's get married.”
Gu Beicheng remained silent, greatly taken aback by her sudden confession.
He pushed her hand away from his arm and fastened her safety belt, as well as his. He then began driving slowly towards her house.
Twenty minutes later, they arrived at the entrance of the Lin family mansion.
”Lin Mingxi, you're home.”
She humphed and eased herself into a comfortable position in the passenger seat.
Gu Beicheng tapped her a few times. ”Lin Mingxi?”
She was asleep like a log.
Gu Beicheng had no choice but to carry her out of the car and bring her inside her house.
Lin Mingxi's parents were shocked to see Gu Beicheng carrying her home.
”Hello, Uncle and Auntie. We had some drinks during dinner earlier, but it turns out she can't hold her liquor well and got drunk. So, I decided to send her home.”
”I'll have to trouble you to carry her to her bedroom then,” said Mrs. Lin, who was as happy as a lark.
Mrs. Lin then showed him the way to Lin Mingxi's bedroom.
Gu Beicheng put on a courteous smile and carried Lin Mingxi to her bedroom.
Mrs. Lin did not enter and instead headed back to the living room. ”Did you see how dashing and suave he was? He'd be a suitable partner for Mingxi.”
”Yes?”
Gu Beicheng carried Lin Mingxi onto the bed. Just as he was about to let go of her, Lin Mingxi grabbed onto his arms tightly and slowly opened her eyes.
They exchanged glances, after which Gu Beicheng said, ”You're home now. I don't know if you drove to the restaurant or not, but if you did, your car is probably still there. You may go back tomorrow to drive your car home. I'll be taking my leave now.”
”Gu Beicheng.”
”Yes?”
”Will I get the opportunity to have a meal with you again?”
Gu Beicheng continued to stare at her without uttering a word. ”Will I?” Lin Mingxi repeated herself, feeling a little dejected.
”I'm not free tomorrow. How about the day after?” Gu Beicheng asked.
”Sure,” Lin Mingxi agreed right away, keeping her eyes fixed on him and beaming with joy.
”I'm going home.”
Lin Mingxi let go of him and watched as he left her bedroom.
She placed her hands on her face, which was burning red.
She opened her eyes before closing them again.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
We'll be meeting again the day after tomorrow… she thought.
Lin Mingxi was filled with happiness and excitement at the thought of meeting him again.
Does this mean there's a high chance we would get together? she wondered.
”Mingxi,” said Mrs. Lin as she entered her daughter's bedroom.
Lin Mingxi greeted her mother.
”How was dinner this evening?”
