After contracting to have a child, the icy female CEO became addicted.

Box No. 108.

After sitting down in the room, Jiang Ran looked at the design illuminated by the soft yellow light and the menu handed to him by the waiter, and fell into silence.

"This set meal for two will do... Jiang Ran, what would you like to eat?"

Xia Yunxi pointed to the menu and then looked at Jiang Ran across from her.

Looking at the barbecue dishes and some Western food on the menu, Jiang Ran shook her head, "No need, this set meal for two seems quite generous..."

"Okay, let's order this much for now. We'll talk about it later if we don't have enough."

Xia Yunxi smiled and responded.

As the room attendant left, Jiang Ran saw another attendant come in, placing a case of beer filled with ice on the table, along with a bottle opener and disposable cups, before leaving.

In the small room, only the two of them remained at this moment.

Seeing Xia Yunxi taking off her scarf, Jiang Ran's gaze fell on the bucket of beer bottles. He smacked his lips and said in surprise, "Weren't we going clubbing? Why did you bring me to a quiet bar?"

Xia Yunxi paused in untying her scarf, then subconsciously said, "Aren't bars and quiet pubs the same?"

As she spoke, she nervously rubbed her hands together and muttered to herself, "If it's about drinking, I don't like going to crowded places..."

Her voice was too soft, and the soundproofing in the various rooms of the bar wasn't very good. The noise from the students playing cards next door made it difficult for Jiang Ran to hear clearly.

His lips twitched, and he said bluntly, "No, I meant going to a bar. You can dance there, and more importantly, you can let off steam!"

"You drink when you go clubbing, right? If you drink here and then want to vent in your room, you can do the same thing! There's no one else here but me..."

Xia Yunxi retorted, then lowered her head and muttered softly, "Besides, I wouldn't laugh at you..."

She kept her head down and spoke very softly.

But Jiang Ran did hear the first half of what he said!

He finally realized that Xia Yunxi had misunderstood him!

"No, Yunxi, I wasn't planning on drinking! I just wanted to have some fun and let off some steam, you must have misunderstood!"

"ah?!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Yunxi was stunned. She suddenly raised her head, which had been lowered, and stared at Jiang Ran with a look of astonishment!

A "click" sound.

The door to the room opened, and a waiter came in carrying a tray, placing two steak plates on the table.

The fragrant steak was sizzling and dripping with oil, and steam was still rising!

Jiang Ran, who hadn't eaten dinner, smelled the aroma and lost all interest in clubbing. He looked at the waiter and said, "Could you please bring me a large bottle of juice?"

"OK."

The waiter nodded and left.

Across from her, Xia Yunxi glanced at the beer on the table, then at Jiang Ran, a little confused. "Jiang Ran... don't you drink?"

The words Wen Ling had said, "He must continue to take precautions to ensure she gets pregnant," echoed in Jiang Ran's mind.

He silently shook his head. "I stopped drinking a long time ago."

"..."

Xia Yunxi was stunned for a moment!

She stared blankly at Jiang Ran, then looked at the 12 glass beer bottles buried in the large bucket of ice she had "taken the liberty" to order, and suddenly felt like a clown.

Yes, Jiang Ran didn't say he was going to drink; he just said he was going to a bar to dance.

No wonder he asked if he could jump around at the spot he chose; he just wanted to vent his frustrations...

She misunderstood.

And they even took it upon themselves to buy so much beer...

Although the room was very cozy, Xia Yunxi felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. The soft leather sofa felt like it was being pricked with needles, making her feel uncomfortable all over.

She didn't even see when the waiter brought the juice in.

The surrounding environment was noisy, and in the dim light, Xia Yunxi felt her brain buzzing.

Watching Jiang Ran pick up a knife and fork to cut the steak, Xia Yunxi pursed her lips tightly. She didn't say anything more, but as if she had made a decision, she took a bottle of beer from the ice bucket with a determined look in her eyes.

She awkwardly opened the beer with the bottle opener, and instead of pouring it into a disposable cup, she simply gulped down more than half the bottle in one go!

"Yun...Yunxi?! Don't drink so fast! Eat something first, drinking on an empty stomach will give you a stomachache!"

Seeing this, Jiang Ran quickly offered a reminder.

"Cough cough..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Yunxi coughed a few times, choking out a mouthful of alcohol that sprayed onto her wool sweater.

Jiang Ran quickly took a few pieces of paper from a box on the table and handed them over: "Drink slowly, the weather is so cold now, and this wine is chilled, how can you drink it so fast!"

"Mind your own business!"

Unexpectedly, Xia Yunxi, who was always understanding in front of him, retorted fiercely at this moment, and then, without caring about anything else, tilted her head back and continued to chug the rest of the beer into her mouth!

"..."

Jiang Ran was stunned for a moment, watching the beer slide down her fair neck and onto her collar. He didn't care about eating anymore, stood up, and snatched the bottle of beer from Xia Yunxi's hand without saying a word!

"hiss!"

The cold bottle made Jiang Ran's fingers tremble, and he almost dropped it on the ground!

Compared to the weather outside, they had only just sat down in this heated room and hadn't even warmed up for a short while, so how could they possibly drink something so cold!

Jiang Ran's temper flared up instantly: "Xia Yunxi, are you crazy! I already told you, the weather is so cold, how dare you drink so fast? Are you out of your mind?!"

"I'm reckless! Who told you not to explain yourself clearly? I thought you wanted to drink, and I bought so much... and then... and then you didn't drink a single drop..."

Xia Yunxi felt a lump in her throat and her eyes instantly welled up with tears!

She felt ashamed!

Jiang Ran clearly said he wanted to go clubbing, but she thought he wanted to drink with her, and foolishly bought so much stuff...

Seeing her pure and lovely face flushed red, yet with tears welling up in her eyes, Jiang Ran was speechless for a moment.

He placed the bottle on the table, took a deep breath, and said, "Okay, it was my fault for not explaining things clearly, which caused a misunderstanding between us. But, the misunderstanding is cleared up now, isn't it? We can just return these drinks. If we can't return them, I'll just pay for the meal. You don't have to drink yourself to death like that!"

"This meal was supposed to be on me!"

Xia Yunxi sobbed and met Jiang Ran's gaze with a pitiful expression.

Whether it was because the surrounding rooms were too noisy or because the effects of drinking so much alcohol had kicked in, Jiang Ran noticed Xia Yunxi's lips move in the warm yellow light.

The next second, he saw her pink lips slightly parted on her aggrieved face, and a few words were uttered through her lips:

"You were so fierce just now..."
