Chapter 156 - Does He Love Her
Although Qin Gengxin was under the influence of alcohol, he still drove steadily. Jiang Ruolan leaned back against the leather seat and stared straight ahead. Under the neon lights, she felt that her vision was a bit blurry.
When they entered the bar, they found a random spot and sat down. Qin Gengxin quickly called the waiter and immediately said, "Bring out your bar"s most expensive and strongest liquor."
The waiter was stunned for a moment. Then, he looked at Qin Gengxin, whose eyes had also turned sluggish.
Qin Gengxin looked back at him with a funny expression. After a moment, Jiang Ruolan gestured to the waiter, "Do as he says."
"Miss, sir, the most expensive wine in our bar is 8000 yuan per bottle and it was a Brandy. How many bottles would you like?"
Brandy? Hmm. It seemed that she would not return home with a sane mind.
Jiang Ruolan frowned. She then raised her hand and counted with her fingers as she mumbled, "Twenty-eight thousand divided by eight thousand, how many bottles can I order?" As she spoke, she looked up to the waiter and said, "Ah, then three bottles of Brandy and some other plates of grapes and fruit, and the total is twenty-eight thousand yuan, isn"t it?"
Qin Gengxin"s mouth twitched. "Do you have enmity with me?"
"You and I have a grudge!" Jiang Ruolan squinted her eyes at him.
d.a.m.n right, she had a grudge!
The last time this b.a.s.t.a.r.d asked for a pot of tea that was worth 28,000 yuan. Although it was Xian Zihao"s money, he was her husband, so she had to get that money back!
Jiang Ruolan ignored the bafflement on Qin Gengxin"s face as he stared at her. She urged the stunned waiter, "Just do as I say!"
The waiter looked as if he was in a dream. He stared blankly at her for a moment, then hurriedly wrote it down on the list. He held back his laughter and nodded to them, "Okay, come right away!"
The waiters at the bar were all a.s.signed to prepare drinks, so tonight, he got enough money to last two months. He gladly went to the bar to order some drinks.
Qin Gengxin leaned back into the sofa, still rubbing his sore forehead. From time to time, he looked at Jiang Ruolan, who was sitting by herself on the sofa with her arms crossed, looking ready to fight. "Brandy, huh. You might get drunk before half a bottle runs out. You even ordered three bottles?"
Actually, Jiang Ruolan didn"t know much about the wine. She had only heard that Brandy seemed to be strong wine, but there was a difference between pure and impure. With such an expensive price, it should probably be very pure. "Let me tell you, not to mention half a bottle, even two bottles are just a small case to me!"
The corner of Qin Gengxin"s mouth twitched. He suddenly laughed with a l.u.s.tful look on his face. "I"ll explain it to you in advance. Although I look elegant and graceful, if I get drunk, I can"t guarantee that I have any humanity left."
"Why don"t you try touching me if you"re not afraid of losing your legacy." Jiang Ruolan put her chin on her hand and winked at him.
Suddenly the waiter arrived with a waitress. Several bottles of beer and spirits, three bottles of Brandy, and an extra large plate of fruit were served. "Sir, Miss, the wine has been served. Call me if you need anything else."
Qin Gengxin was about to say something, but seeing that the waiter had arrived, he waved him away. As soon as the waiter left, he saw that Jiang Ruolan had already picked up a bottle of Brandy and was about to pour it directly into her mouth.
"Jiang Ruolan, are you nuts?"
He watched her in horror as she drank directly from the bottle. Qin Gengxin immediately grabbed the bottle from her hand, then wiped her mouth with a disapproving expression,
"The average Brandy is only 39 to 40 degrees, and this is the most famous distilled Brandy in France. It"s 60 degrees, and you can"t drink it like this even if you want to! Aren"t you afraid your stomach will hurt?!"
Jiang Ruolan confusedly looked at him. "This wine is not very strong."
"The fruit wine is stronger!" He reprimanded her, "Pretend you don"t know anything. If you want to drink, you must know how to drink. Why do you want to drink with me tonight?"
Qin Gengxin grabbed the transparent gla.s.s from the table, grabbed the ice bucket that the waiter had brought along, and put some ice cubes in it. He then poured the Brandy into the gla.s.s and handed the gla.s.s to her.
Jiang Ruolan, who had been drinking hurriedly, suddenly let out a burp and immediately felt dizzy. She looked doubtfully at the wine gla.s.s in front of her. Just as she was about to drink it, she heard Qin Gengxin say, "Smell it first, then drink it slowly."
She frowned and gave him a sideways glance. But she did so.
Jiang Ruolan smelled the wine in the gla.s.s and found that the aroma was very pleasant. Then she heard Qin Gengxin say, "Drink it now."
She did it again. The pure taste of the Brandy spreading in her mouth in an instant. She paused for a moment and then took a bite of the remaining ice. After that, she smacked her lips as she looked at Qin Gengxin"s calm expression.
Qin Gengxin lowered his gaze and glanced at the wine gla.s.s that Jiang Ruolan had pa.s.sed over. He poured the wine into the gla.s.s, but he did not give it to her. Instead, he immediately drank the wine from her gla.s.s.
"Sigh, you …" Jiang Ruolan was about to retrieve her gla.s.s when she suddenly felt dizzy. She stabilized herself and leaned back on the couch. She did not think she would get drunk so quickly.
Seeing that she was almost drunk, Qin Gengxin looked at her with mockery on his face. He continued to drink alcohol and did not intend to let her touch Brandy again.
This was the first time Jiang Ruolan drank a 60-degree Brandy. If she drank too much, it would burn her stomach. However, Qin Gengxin did not say anything. He just pushed the other fruit wine in front of her as if he was coaxing a child. "Drink this."
Jiang Ruolan shook her head. She took a bottle of Brandy and held it in her arms, but she didn"t drink it.
Qin Gengxin: "..."
After three rounds of drinking, Qin Gengxin, who had already been drunk, became even drunker. He slumped against the sofa, waving his hands as he mumbled, "I can"t take it anymore, please spare me."
Jiang Ruolan"s face was also flushed red as she lay on the sofa. She looked at Qin Gengxin and tugged on his sleeve. "Drink a little more. Please accompany me. It"s no fun drinking alone."
Qin Gengxin waved his hands again and said with a pained expression, "No more!"
"Tch." Jiang Ruolan scoffed at him, then opened another bottle of Brandy, and imitated his movements just now. She put a few ice cubes in the gla.s.s, poured the wine, and drank it again. As she sipped the wine, she looked at the various people in the bar with a dazed look in her eyes and asked subconsciously, "Does he love her?"
"What?" Qin Gengxin replied lazily as he half-closed his eyes and sank into the sofa.
"Tell me, does Xian Zihao love Zhou Shufen?" Jiang Ruolan held the wine gla.s.s and suddenly giggled.
Qin Gengxin tilted his head. He was so drunk that he didn"t realize how Jiang Ruolan knew about the matter between Xian Zihao and Zhou Shufen at all, but he didn"t reply to her question. It was as if he didn"t want to talk about it. "She asked for it. You better not learn from her."
Jiang Ruolan didn"t seem to hear him. She held her gla.s.s and laughed foolishly before muttering once more, "Did he really love her before?"
"Love, yes, very much." Qin Gengxin suddenly laughed along with her and nodded with certainty.
"Then, does he love me …" Jiang Ruolan mumbled subconsciously.
However, her mumbling didn"t get any response from Qin Gengxin. He leaned back on the sofa and completely forgot about her.
