CHAPTER 368: CHAPTER 227 LI YA’S LITTLE SCHEME_2

But the happiness radiating from Xiao Meier’s face, it was like the warm sun of autumn.

She longed to reach out and touch the warmth given by Chen Cheng, yet she clearly understood that the sunshine did not belong to her.

She took a deep breath, "Today is your first visit, we won’t return until we’re drunk. For your happiness, and for our friendship."

Xiao Meier agreed cheerfully: "Okay!"

...

...

An hour later, three bottles of red wine were empty.

Even Xiao Meier, who usually held her liquor well, was overwhelmed by the alcohol, giggling as she lay on the Fendi coffee table, her eyes looking at Chen Cheng even more hazily.

Wen Shulin wasn’t faring much better, with flushed cheeks and slightly blurred eyes.

Her tolerance was average, and today, laden with heavy thoughts, a few glasses of wine made her even less in control of her emotions.

"Come on, Xiao Er, let’s drink another!" Wen Shulin raised her empty glass towards Xiao Meier.

"Okay, cheers!" Xiao Meier, also swaying, raised her glass, "Gone... it’s all gone..."

"Li Ya, go open another bottle."

Su Liya verbally agreed, but she also knew that Wen Shulin should not drink anymore.

"Sister Lin, do you know?"

Xiao Meier, with drunken eyes, looked at Wen Shulin, "The first time I saw you, I thought you were so beautiful, had such a great presence, just like... like a TV star."

Wen Shulin shook her head, "You flatter me too much, I’m not..."

"Really!"

Xiao Meier grasped Wen Shulin’s hand sincerely saying, "Sister Lin, you really are wonderful, Xiao Cheng often praises you in front of me, saying you’re righteous, saying you..."

Her words weren’t finished when Chen Cheng, who hadn’t drunk much, interrupted her: "That’s enough, it’s about time to head back, you’re also drunk."

"I’m not drunk, I’m sober! Sister Lin, isn’t what I’m saying correct?"

"Yes, Xiao Er is right!" Wen Shulin, sitting on the carpet leaning against the sofa, with her long hair lazily draped, said, "What are we even talking about? Li Ya, the wine you went to fetch?"

Su Liya had already slipped back into her bedroom, only her voice came through, "Getting it, mommy."

"This child..."

Wen Shulin shakily got up, and Xiao Meier followed, standing up, "Sister Lin, be careful."

She meant to steady Wen Shulin, but was unstable herself, tripping and instead falling toward Wen Shulin.

"Careful!"

Chen Cheng quickly stood, supporting Wen Shulin with one hand and embracing Xiao Meier with the other.

Different sensations came from his left and right hands.

Xiao Meier, dazed, leaned into Chen Cheng’s arms, her cheeks flushed and eyes hazy.

Wen Shulin also couldn’t stand steadily, only able to lean on Chen Cheng’s body, instantly closing the distance between them, their warm breaths mingling.

"Husband." Wen Shulin, retaining her last bit of rationality, opened her mouth but made no sound.

"Sister Lin..."

Xiao Meier murmured, "You mustn’t leave halfway..."

Wen Shulin responded indistinctly, "I won’t leave, let’s go get the wine."

Both women detached from Chen Cheng, supporting each other, and staggered towards the direction of the wine rack.

Wen Shulin’s slender waist, due to the drunkenness, seemed especially soft, her long hair slightly in disarray, some strands falling on her cheeks, as if whispering something.

And closely beside her, Xiao Meier kept muttering phrases like "good sister" and "for life."

They walked clumsily, with Chen Cheng following behind, anxious.

Fearing they might bump into something accidentally.

"Over here..." Wen Shulin pointed shakily in the direction of the bedroom.

Xiao Meier asked with a laugh, "There’s more wine in here?"

"Of course, what wine don’t we have?"

Wen Shulin spoke as she pushed open the bedroom door, a faint scent of perfume wafting through.

Xiao Meier sniffed, "It smells so good, Sister Lin, what perfume are you using?"

"Chanel’s..." Wen Shulin mumbled, heading straight for the bed.

Before Xiao Meier could react, Wen Shulin’s legs gave way, and she collapsed directly onto the bed, motionless.

"Sister Lin?" Xiao Meier called out worriedly and hurried over to check.

She saw Wen Shulin with her eyes closed, breathing evenly, seemingly asleep.

Xiao Meier, looking at Wen Shulin’s sleeping face, couldn’t help but laugh.

She saw Wen Shulin drunk for the first time, completely different from the usual decisive and strong woman she was.

"Xiao Cheng, look at Sister Lin..." She also staggered onto the bed, trying to cover Wen Shulin with a thin blanket.

But as soon as she got on that soft bed, Xiao Meier felt like she was trapped in a swamp, utterly unable to move.

"Xiao Cheng, Sister Lin’s bed is so soft, we should buy one like it when we get back..."

Before she could finish her sentence, her voice grew smaller and eventually, she fell into a deep sleep.

Chen Cheng was dumbfounded.

He didn’t expect that these two, who said they were going to get some wine, ended up in the bedroom; one fell onto the bed and slept, and the other got into bed and slept as well.

Looking at the two people sleeping separately on the bed, Chen Cheng sighed, "What is even going on here?"

He walked over, first making sure there was nothing wrong with Wen Shulin, then he went to Xiao Meier’s side and gently shook her, "Sister Xiao Er? Sister Xiao Er?"

"Sister Lin, don’t worry, I will definitely live a good life with Xiao Cheng..."

After Xiao Meier said this, she turned to her side, hugged the pillow, and didn’t speak again.

The moonlight passed through the curtains and sprinkled in the room, shining on the two peacefully sleeping faces, exceptionally serene.

But no one knew what they would dream about...

Ta-da-da.

A series of crisp footsteps were heard.

Su Liya, who had disappeared for a while, appeared at the bedroom door.

"Baby!" she hissed, waving her hand.

Chen Cheng looked up and saw Su Liya, who had appeared obedient a few hours ago, was now dressed as hot as the first time he saw her.

Black short leather skirt, a tight belly-baring top, but what Chen Cheng noticed more were the rhinestone bra straps sparkling on her snowy shoulders.

It was the VS lingerie that Su Liya secretly had him pay for last time.

He furrowed his brow and walked over, "Why are you dressed like this?"

Su Liya glanced at Wen Shulin and Xiao Meier on the bed, "Uncle, let’s go out and have fun!"

"I’m taking Xiao Er home." Chen Cheng turned around.

But the next second, Su Liya grabbed Chen Cheng’s arm.

Chen Cheng turned his head, her expressive eyes looking at him with a watery gaze.

"Uncle, Sister Xiao Er is asleep, how are you going to take her back?"

Drunk people are difficult to handle.

Moreover, Xiao Meier was sleeping so deeply that he definitely couldn’t get her into the car by himself.

The only sober one, Su Liya, was obviously not reliable.

Su Liya shook Chen Cheng’s arm, her eyes full of expectation and coquettishness, "Uncle, take me to the nightclub, please?"

Chen Cheng: "Nightclub?"

"You see, Sister Xiao Er and the others are all deeply asleep; they won’t wake up any time soon. And today is such a good opportunity, let’s go have fun at the nightclub."

Her lips pouted slightly, looking particularly playful and cute.

"No."

Su Liya: "I haven’t gone out to play for so long, I’m always cooped up at home. Just take me this once, please?"

She put her hands together, making a pleading gesture.

Chen Cheng looked at her, knowing that she had been strictly controlled by Wen Shulin recently, and was feeling stifled.

"Is this the reason you invited us to your house tonight?"

Su Liya didn’t hide it from Chen Cheng, nodding in acknowledgment, then lifted her index finger, "Just one hour, I promise, after one hour, I’ll go home obediently!"

Chen Cheng saw Su Liya’s hopeful eyes and sighed inwardly.

This girl is mischievous, probably a lot like Wen Shulin.

"Just one hour?" Chen Cheng confirmed.

"Mhm!" Su Liya nodded vigorously, as if afraid Chen Cheng would change his mind.

Chen Cheng thought for a moment, Wen Shulin and Xiao Meier wouldn’t wake up any time soon, so he nodded and agreed, "Just one hour, not a minute more."

"Yay! Uncle, you’re the best!"

Su Liya excitedly jumped up, grabbed Chen Cheng’s arm, and started dragging him out, while comforting, "Don’t worry, Mommy won’t wake up."

Chen Cheng looked back one more time; Wen Shulin and Xiao Meier indeed showed no signs of waking up.

At the entrance, Su Liya quickly put on her AJ, smiling brightly, "We’ll go quietly and come back quietly, they won’t know!"

She pulled Chen Cheng, "I heard from a classmate that there’s a new nightclub near Gongti, it’s so fun! Let’s go there!"

After speaking, she tiptoed and kissed Chen Cheng on the face, "After listening to stories all night, now, no one will compete with me for you, right?"
