Chapter 192: Unable to Drink This Wine
Bird’s nest soup was actually not that bad. Coupled with milk, it had a slightly unexpected flavor. However, ever since Ye Li became the head of the household, she had been drinking a bowl of this soup every night for the past few months.
Hence, she’d rather not have it outside.
She replied, “No need.”
She lowered her head and continued eating her pork ribs.
Sweetheart smiled in disdain and slowly said, “Don’t you know what bird’s nest is? This thing can nourish one’s face and is very good for women.”
Xue Xi ignored her, but Xiang Huai slowly said to Sweetheart, “Then you should eat more of it.”
Sweetheart was stunned for a moment before realizing what he meant. She was instantly enraged. “You…”
Xiang Huai ignored her and continued to feed Xue Xi. Xue Xi ate peacefully. After all, she had been studying for an entire afternoon and was very hungry!
Liu Ye’s gaze had been fixed on Xue Xi’s face the moment she entered. He was still in a daze.
It turned out that Learn was so beautiful… Most students would not be able to dress themselves up. Moreover, their skin would also look a little darker because of outdoor exercises. However, whether it was her style or her complexion, Xue Xi looked like she’d had a good upbringing…
Liu Ye coughed and could not help but raise his sleeves to reveal the watch on his wrist.
He wanted to make himself stand out in front of Learn.
Someone beside him noticed it and hurriedly asked, “Is this a Eumicca?”
Liu Ye smiled.
That person immediately said, “I remember this watch cost more than 100,000 yuan. Wild King, you’re really loaded.”
After saying that, he turned to look at Sweetheart. When he saw the necklace on her neck, he could not help but sigh. “Is that from Four-Leaf Grass?”
Sweetheart nodded and even held out her wrist to shake the bracelet on it. “They’re a set.”
“Sss.” That person took a deep breath. “This set costs more than 100,000 yuan!”
Sweetheart held Wild King’s arm and said slowly, “My boyfriend gave it to me!”
“Wild King is really generous!”
“A hundred thousand at once. How generous!”
“Wild King, you’re earning a few million monthly, right? Last year, didn’t you earn tens of millions? Are you going to buy a house?”
Hearing this, Wild King smiled. “Yeah, I’ll buy one.”
After saying that, he turned to look at Xiang Huai. “Learn’s boyfriend, by the looks of you, you should have already graduated, right?”
Even as the group of people was praising Wild King, Xiang Huai already knew what they were going to do next. Upon hearing this question, he paused while picking up some food for Xue Xi, then said slowly, “Mhm. I’m a shop owner.”
“You opened a store? What kind of store? A small store? Or what?” Liu Ye asked aggressively.
Just as Xiang Huai was about to say something, Xue Xi suddenly looked up and glared at him. “What does it have to do with you?”
Liu Ye: “?”
Xiang Huai was also stunned and looked at Xue Xi.
The little kid gave him an encouraging look. She thought for a moment, picked up a piece of pork ribs, and placed it on his plate. “Eat.”
Xiang Huai: “?”
Xue Xi was aloof, but this did not mean that she could not distinguish good intentions from bad.
Liu Ye and the rest were clearly trying to make things difficult for Xiang Huai. If Xiang Huai were to mention his provision store, he would definitely be mocked by them.
Everyone had their own goals.
Even the people selling pancakes by the roadside should receive the most basic respect. Looking at Xiang Huai, she thought he probably did not care about these people.
However, Xue Xi simply did not want Xiang Huai to be mocked.
It did not matter that Xiang Huai would not cry after being criticized.
Seemingly having understood the little kid’s thoughts, Xiang Huai burst out laughing. He then lowered his head and started eating seriously.
Sweetheart said capriciously, “Learn, we’re just asking out of concern. What kind of store does your boyfriend own? If you tell us, we can take care of him in the future, right? After all, we’re all in Bin City!”
Xue Xi frowned.
The people beside her also chimed in, “That’s right. What does he sell? We can take care of his business!”
“Since you don’t dare tell us, could it be that it’s haunted?”
“What’s wrong with that? Even if you’re a street vendor or a vegetable seller, we won’t mock you if you say it!”
“Why are you still hiding it? What can’t you say it?”
Xue Xi frowned when she heard this. Seeing her like this, Liu Ye hurriedly said, “Alright, let’s not talk about this topic. It’s my fault.”
He changed the topic. “Do you want some alcohol?”
“Sure, but can you drink, Wild King? You drove here tonight, right? I saw a Benz outside the entrance. It’s yours, right?”
Liu Ye smiled. “It’s fine. I’ll just get the chauffeur to pick me up later. Waiter!”
The service staff outside heard the call and walked in. “How may I be of service?”
Liu Ye said, “Bring me the wine menu.”
“Please wait a moment.”
When the service staff passed the wine menu to Liu Ye, Liu Ye took a glance at the prices. As expected of the Chenjian Hotel, a bottle of red wine cost tens of thousands. The better ones cost hundreds of thousands.
Liu Ye actually came from an ordinary family. He had earned some money through live-streaming these past two years and was used to being generous. However, the price of such alcohol still made his heart ache.
He casually pointed at one of the five digits and said, “This one!”
“Yes, sir. Please wait a moment.”
After the service staff left, the streamer standing beside Liu Ye suddenly said, “Brother Ye, that bottle of wine costs tens of thousands. That’s awesome!”
After the service staff served the drinks, a small-time streamer stood up to fill everyone’s glasses. When he reached Xiang Huai, he purposely said, “A single glass of this wine is worth a thousand yuan. One mouthful is a hundred yuan. This is not alcohol but money!”
After saying that, he walked past Xiang Huai. “Learn’s boyfriend, I don’t think you’re used to this kind of alcohol, so I won’t pour any for you!”
“Hahaha!”
Everyone laughed.
However, Wild King could not behave like this. After all, the event was still live-streaming.
He said, “Don’t joke around.”
Only then did the small-time streamer walk toward Xiang Huai. He was about to pour him a glass when the door to the private room was suddenly pushed open.
Everyone was stunned. They turned around and saw a red-haired youth standing at the door. He was tall and had a bottle of wine in his hand. His eyes were raised and he looked exceptionally arrogant.
Wild King asked, “Who are you looking for? Did you go to the wrong place?”
Gao Yanchen slowly walked in and stood in front of Xue Xi and Xiang Huai. “Sister Xi, Brother Xiang, I’m here to bring you guys some wine.”
After saying that, he shot a glance at the bottle of wine in the young streamer’s hands and said arrogantly, “He, Brother Xiang, is indeed not used to that wine.”
With that, he placed the bottle of wine on the table.
