Chapter 67, Chapter 068: Between Us, There Is No End in Sight

No matter how deep or how shocked she was, she didn't show it on her face.

He seemed uninterested in the relationship Wen Qi had mentioned, and it was none of his business.

The atmosphere inexplicably became awkward. Polina glanced around blankly, then looked at Secretary Zhang beside her, puzzled. Just as she was about to ask what was wrong, Secretary Zhang said, "Keep going, keep going! Don't stop eating the barbecue, there's still so much left."

The scene quickly became lively again.

I then played this game for more than half an hour.

Ji Xian doesn't usually drink much, but today he drank two or three glasses of red wine, plus a small cup of baijiu.

This wasn't the first time she'd drunk this liquor, and she hadn't originally planned to, but Polina insisted.

Polina was trying Chinese baijiu for the first time. She had a good tolerance for alcohol and thought it tasted good. She drank two cups in a row, but Ji Xian advised her to drink less.

Then Polina let her try it, saying it had a silky smooth texture and a rich soy sauce flavor.

Just then, everyone else had finished playing and raised their glasses, all holding bottles of baijiu (Chinese liquor), so she had no choice but to raise hers as well.

Baijiu has a high alcohol content and is spicy and burns the stomach when it goes down.

Before long, Ji Xian felt sweaty and hot, so he took off his coat, which he hadn't taken off all night, and put it on the back of the chair.

Wen Qi knew she had drunk quite a bit earlier, and he was afraid that drinking that last glass of baijiu would make her feel unwell, but he also knew that he probably couldn't stop her.

After sitting down again, he called the front desk in English, which they understood, and asked them to prepare some lemon water to help them sober up.

Ji Xian drank a variety of drinks tonight, including red wine, white wine, and beer.

On such a cold day, two blushes rose on her fair face.

Her usually calm and aloof eyes now appeared clear and bright, with a hint of mist in them, making them look incredibly sparkling.

"Does it hurt?"

Wen Qi, still worried, leaned closer to ask her.

Hearing that deep, clear voice, Ji Xuan hummed in response, the last syllable rising slightly in confusion, a hint of bewilderment in his irises. "What?"

Wen Qi was taken aback. Looking at her delicate and pretty face, he instantly recalled that rainy night five or six years ago.

His pupils contracted, and his gaze softened. "Drink some honey water to calm down. Don't drink alcohol, or you'll get a headache later."

Ji Xian nodded, took the cup of honey water, and politely said 'thank you'.

He heard her say thank you six or seven times tonight alone.

It wasn't particularly pleasant to listen to; in fact, it sounded rather jarring to him.

He didn't show it, but just watched her finish the honey water, and then asked her if she wanted more roast meat or skewers, even though there were still three or four mushrooms left.

Ji Xian was still conscious at this moment. He ate the remaining mushrooms and two slices of pork belly, but then he couldn't eat anymore.

Seeing that the time was right, Wen Qi gave Ye Xueyan a wink.

Ye Xueyan remembered that she was carrying a heavy responsibility, and she had only drunk a little wine before, for fear of delaying President Wen's good time. Now that she had finally received the order, she immediately went downstairs with Xiao Yang to get the things.

More than ten gifts were given to everyone present.

Each gift was different, and Ye Xueyan put a lot of thought into choosing them. In particular, the gift for Polina was a round fan, which is very characteristic of China, and Polina loved it as soon as she received it.

The others were also flattered to receive the gifts.

Normally, the company only gives gifts to senior executives during important holidays such as Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and Spring Festival.

I never expected to receive a gift on Christmas Day.

Some people had decorative items, some had mugs, some had boxes of chocolates, and so on. But for Ji Xuan, it was a pink and white rose LV scarf.

While other people's gifts were priced between 500 and 1,000 RMB, Ji Xuan's scarf cost over 10,000 RMB.

A smart person can see the trick to this place at a glance.

Their gifts were all complimentary items; only Ji Xian's was a proper Christmas gift.

The brain, which had been drinking, reacted more slowly than usual. Looking at the scarf in his hand, he didn't notice much amiss. He blinked and subconsciously said "thank you."

Wen Qi suddenly found that the word "thank you" particularly beautiful.

He smiled slightly. "I'm glad you like it."

The group of people were overjoyed to receive the gifts and raised their glasses to toast Wen Qi. Wen Qi was too busy to keep up with the toasts, so Ji Xian drank a little more red wine.

Finally, he took her glass away and said, "Don't drink anymore, drink more honey water."

Ji Xian didn't say anything. She also felt her throat was dry and wanted to drink something to moisten it.

Around nine o'clock, a cold wind swept across the rooftop, and the aftereffects of the alcohol began to take hold, causing my consciousness to gradually become blurred.

Wen Qi noticed that something was wrong with her. Seeing that the others had no intention of leaving, Ye Xueyan and Secretary Zhang were already talking nonsense from drinking too much.

He instructed his assistant, Yang, "Keep an eye on them and make sure they don't cause any trouble. They should be done in half an hour at most. Also, have the front desk get Polina a room."

The intoxication came unexpectedly; he wrapped Ji Xian in his coat and picked him up horizontally.

As soon as her body was suspended in mid-air, she instinctively let go of the scarf in her hand and instead grabbed her collar.

"Don't be afraid, it's me."

Feeling her body trembling, Wen Qi quickly whispered words of comfort.

Perhaps it was because the voice was so familiar that she felt completely at ease, and her chaotic mind completely shut down at that moment. She simply tilted her head and leaned on his shoulder.

It's as if they've forgotten they've already broken up, and think they're still in that bland and ordinary relationship.

Wen Qi carried her all the way to his room, gently placed her on the bed, took off her shoes, and then went to the bathroom to wring out a hot towel to wipe her face, neck, and hands.

Finally, I got myself all sweaty.

Ji Xian didn't cause any trouble even when he was drunk. He just felt too hot wearing a sweater and covered with a blanket. After tossing and turning for a while, he sat up with his eyes closed, took off his sweater, and left only a sports bra.

Wen Qi went inside and quickly took a shower, which dissipated some of the smell of alcohol.

The result revealed this erotic scene.

He paused, gazing at her fair, smooth collarbone and cleavage. His pupils widened, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he felt a moment of panic. He quickly looked away and hurried over to cover her with the blanket.

The two had once shared a bed and were very close.

They actually knew each other's bodies very well, but Wen Qi was quite conventional about such matters, so when he suddenly saw this glaring scene, he looked embarrassed and awkward.

The relationship between Wen Qi and the others is currently illegitimate and improper.

This is illogical.

He sat on the edge of the bed for a while. Her rosy cheeks looked soft and delicate, and he couldn't help but reach out and gently touch them.

Perhaps the calluses on her fingertips made her a little uncomfortable, Ji Xian frowned and pushed his hand away, saying fiercely, "Don't move!"

Wen Qi smiled and placed her hand under the covers, brushing her disheveled hair aside.

Looking at her peaceful sleeping face, he murmured, "Ji Xian, there is no end to our relationship."

Babies, please vote for me! Mwah! This chapter should be 67, I wrote the chapter number wrong again.
