Lu Wanggui, who initially thought that she was not drunk, suddenly realized that she was drunk, but she did not look drunk.

It was so late. If he did not drive, how did he get here?

“Yes, I drove.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan nodded with a smile. “Right. Then I have to come over tomorrow.”

Yang Liu leaned against the shoe cabinet. “Okay, let’s have lunch together tomorrow. There’s a very delicious barbecue place nearby. I’ll get you to try it out.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan’s brain, which had been corroded by the alcohol, was a little slow to react. However, when she heard the word barbecue, she nodded in agreement. “Yes, barbecue is good. Life is a little bitter. Eat some barbecue to nourish yourself.”

Yang Liu also sighed. “Yes, you have to nourish yourself.”

Lu Wanggui rubbed his temples. Once again, he was wrong. Both of them were quite drunk.

Xiang Xiaoyuan was wearing high heels, and the laces were not tied properly. She wanted to bend down to tie them, but her ankle twisted and she almost fell. Fortunately, Lu Wanggui was quick enough to hold her. “Don’t move, I’ll help you.”

“Oh,” Xiang Xiaoyuan said. She leaned on her shoulder and did not move.

Lu Wanggui half-squatted down and reached out to lace her high heels.

Xiang Xiaoyuan was a good drinker. At this time, she was half-awake. Her head was dizzy, and she did not speak much. At first glance, it seemed that she was awake. But in fact, her speech and reaction time were much slower than usual. Lu Wanggui had no choice but to hold her waist and let her hold his arm as they walked out of the building.

When they got into the car, she didn’t need Lu Wanggui’s reminder to fasten her seatbelt. She didn’t forget to remind Lu Wanggui, who had just sat in the driver’s seat, “You must fasten your seatbelt before you drive.”

Lu Wanggui: “… Okay.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan was worried and stared at him. Only after he fastened his seatbelt did she slowly close her eyes. “Then I’ll rest for a while. Please drive carefully.”

“Okay.”

Lu Wanggui was not used to this kind of scene.

Every time he drove, she was a chatterbox. There were endless topics to talk about along the way. It could be said that ever since he came back from a business trip, other than when she was sleeping, this was the first time he saw Xiang Xiaoyuan’s quiet appearance.

It was so quiet that he was not used to it.

He was silent the entire way. When the car stopped in the basement, it was already very late. Xiang Xiaoyuan’s condition did not improve much after sleeping, but at least she could walk on her own. She slowly followed Lu Wanggui into the bedroom.

Lu Wanggui held his pajamas and told Xiang Xiaoyuan who was sitting on the sofa, “I’m going to the bathroom next door to take a shower. If you need anything, call me.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan was still slow. “Okay.”

When she was clear-headed, she did things in a hurry and spoke very quickly. She was like a perpetual engine that never stopped.

Now that she was like this, Lu Wanggui felt that it was a novelty, but at the same time, he couldn’t help but laugh.

After Lu Wanggui left the room, Xiang Xiaoyuan went to the cloakroom according to her memory. She wanted to take her pajamas and take a shower, but she inadvertently caught a glimpse of the wardrobe with a row of bathing suits hanging on it. She reached out and picked out a swimsuit that she was satisfied with and changed into it.

It was too hot, and she wanted to swim.

She remembered that there was a huge swimming pool at home.

Xiang Xiaoyuan’s alcohol tolerance was not bad, but it could not be considered good either. However, she did not seem drunk, so she didn’t make a lot of noise. After getting drunk, she was not much different from her usual self. The only difference was that her brain’s reaction speed was slower than usual.

She pulled a bathrobe over her body and slowly walked towards the door.

On the other side, Lu Wanggui was worried about Xiang Xiaoyuan. He took a shower as fast as he could, but when he returned to the master bedroom, she was already gone.

In the end, Lu Wanggui found her in the living room downstairs.

Looking at Xiang Xiaoyuan in a bathrobe and bathing suit, a trace of disbelief flashed across his calm eyes. “You want to swim? But it’s already very late.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan felt that his question was very funny, and she burst out laughing. “That’s right, it doesn’t matter if it’s late. I don’t have to work early tomorrow, so I can sleep in.”

Lu Wanggui: “…”

He knew that he shouldn’t reason with someone who was drunk. At this moment, no matter what he said, she wouldn’t listen, so he could only compromise. “Okay.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan chuckled. “You’re such a nice person.”

Lu Wanggui: “…”

He followed her to the swimming pool outside the villa.

The moon was high in the sky. The water in the pool was cleaned regularly by the servants. The water was so clear that one could see the bottom. The moonlight sprinkled on the surface of the water, making it glisten. It was as if they were in a fantasy land..
