Feng Xinying had told Xie Yuansheng not to let her drink. Being her employee he had to make sure that he did as he was told, so when she extended her hand to pick the drink from the tray, he picked that very gla.s.s immediately from the tray. Feng Xinying frowned at him, "Shengu, what are you doing?"
Xie Yuansheng looked at her with fear in his eyes because the way she frowned at him, he became scared that she would throw him out of the job for that audacity. So he replied softly, "You had asked me that I shouldn"t allow you to drink."
Feng Xinying pursed her lips. "Ah!" she nodded and said as the frown disappeared from face.
Xie Yuansheng was happy and then slowly he drank the wine from his gla.s.s as Xie Shengjun and Keira talked to her about general stuff. After a moment a group came to meet Feng Xinying. When the lady with the group saw Feng Xinying without a wine gla.s.s, she took one from the waiter who was pa.s.sing nearby and picked one from there. She offered it to Feng Xinyin saying, "Where is your gla.s.s? Here have one."
As soon as she offered the gla.s.s to her, Xie Yuansheng gulped his entire wine in his hand in a go and took the gla.s.s instead from the lady"s hand. The lady was shocked and she raised her eyebrow. Xie Yuansheng smiled at her very sweetly and said, "My wife is not supposed to drink today." His smile was so sweet that the lady melted.
"Omo! Xie Yuansheng you look so handsome when you smile. That is one rare smile that you have given me," she said, forgetting that he had taken the gla.s.s from her. She kept staring at him while the men who were there started laughing. One of them said, "Your wife has tied you around her finger."
Xie Yuansheng thought that even though she wasn"t his wife, she surely had him tied around her finger. Everything about her was simply overwhelming. He gulped the second gla.s.s down his throat saying, "Yes, that is true!" Then he looked at Feng Xinying. But Feng Xinying was glaring at the lady who was looking at Xie Yuansheng as though she was about to swallow him complete. That lady was fluttering her eyes and even though she was flat, she tried to shove her chest in front of him and was flicking her hair. Feng Xinying became so angry that she held Xie Yuansheng"s hand and dragged him away from there. "We have to meet some more people," she said as she dragged him from there feeling overly jealous, and to the lady"s shock. Xie Yuansheng bowed to all of them quickly as he left the group not understanding what happened.
Feng Xinying took him on the side and said in a very jealous way, "Why was that lady smiling at you Shengu?"
Xie Yuansheng shook his head and replied, "I don"t know…" he paused and then added, "Do you think she knows me? Should I go and ask her?"
"What? No! She doesn"t know you. You better keep standing here only. I will be right back. I am going to the washroom," she ordered him.
Xie Yuansheng nodded like a bobble head. Feng Xinying left and while going she wondered if she should call him bobble head instead of Shengu.
While he was standing there and waiting for her to return, Shu Ning came to him. "Brother Yuansheng, how are you?" she asked in a husky voice.
Xie Yuansheng didn"t recognize her at all and his face was blank for a moment. But the next moment he thought that if this girl was calling him brother, then she must have known Xie Yuansheng pretty well. "I am good…" he replied hesitantly.
"You look dazed," she said again to continue the conversation.
Xie Yuansheng was confused. Little Shu Ning? Did Xie Yuansheng call her that? If he did, he had a very bad taste. He looked at her blankly and turned his face away to not answer and escape from any stupid situation.
Shu Ning took a step closer and stood very near to him. She said, "Brother Xie Yuansheng why are you being so rude to me? You know I am sorry about the last time but I still love you." She was actually hoping that he helped her out of the situation. "It seems that you have forgotten your little Shu Ning."
Xie Yuansheng was getting irritated by Little Shu Ning now. He replied sternly, "Look Miss, are you even worth remembering?"
Shu Ning"s face fell to the ground. Before she could react, she heard someone"s loud voice from behind "Ahem!". When she turned, she saw Feng Xinying.
"Didn"t you hear what he said right now?" she asked almost snarling at her. "Get lost!"
Shu Ning was so scared of Feng Xinying that she ran away fearing that she might speak loudly in the party. She was totally dejected and now her only chance was Xie Shengjun but the way he was sticking to his wife, she knew that her chances with him were next to zero.
Feng Xinying didn"t know that handling her handsome, amnesiac husband in the party would be so difficult. She said, "Wrap your hands around my shoulders and let"s walk back to the party." He was her possession.
He held her and they walked back. She was fuming mad at all women who stared at him like hungry wolves. Angrily she picked a gla.s.s of whiskey from a waiter as she walked with his hands around her waist but before she could take it to her lips, Xie Yuansheng took the gla.s.s away from her. How much did this woman drink? Why was she always picking alcohol gla.s.ses? He intended to keep the gla.s.s in his hand and leave, but keeping his hand on her shoulders was like touching dynamite. His hands almost reached her b.r.e.a.s.t.s and he wanted to squeeze them. His little brother…!
He gulped down the gla.s.s of whiskey. And now he felt a little tipsy. Keeping the gla.s.s down on the table beside them, he looked warmly at Feng Xinying. The hand that almost reached her breast was now resting on it. But it was the fourth gla.s.s of wine that was offered by the Minister that was the final blow. He could no longer stay in control. The hand was itching to squeeze her firm b.r.e.a.s.t.s.
Feng Xinying looked at him and said, "Shengu, let us go home." She looked enticing. He wanted to eat her.
