Country Love: Xie Dajiao, 37, is pregnant!

They drank until after eight o'clock, and several bottles of baijiu were empty. Mayor Qi's alcohol tolerance was really good; no wonder he's a leader. He glanced at the time, waved his hand, and said:

"That's enough, Xiao Chen. We have a morning meeting tomorrow, so let's call it a day."

Everyone stood up, the chairs creaking as they scraped the floor. Pi Changshan rushed to the door and opened it first.

After they came out, Mayor Qi patted Lin Chen's arm, his smile tinged with the smell of alcohol, and whispered:

"Xiao Lin, you're very reliable. You've considered all aspects and made things easy for me. That's great. I'll give you a straight answer: just get on with it. From now on, don't eat at restaurants anymore. Come to my house for a proper meal."

"Okay, I'll definitely go."

In the time it takes to eat a meal, the matter of the three acres of land was completely settled.

Once the entire project is registered, we can build whenever we want, and as many buildings as we want. The Education Commission, schools, construction management office, and land office are all connected. The reason we invited Deputy Mayor Li is because he is in charge of the construction management office and the land office.

After everyone left, Lin Chen called Zhao Yutian and asked him to drive over and pick him up. Pi Changshan finally couldn't hold on any longer; he was so drunk he was staggering. Even while leaning against the wall, he still managed to get close enough to shake hands and hug Lin Chen, his tongue practically slurred.

"Brother, I really don't know how to thank you enough. For you to call me here on a special occasion, I've never felt so happy before. I won't say thank you, but... I'm so heartbroken..."

Lin Chen drank the most, one glass after another, and was a little dizzy at this point, but still conscious. He smiled and handed Pi Changshan a cigarette. He saw that Pi Changshan's eyes were red, and he was about to cry if he talked any longer.

The two squatted outside the restaurant smoking. The evening breeze was cool and refreshing, but instead of dispelling the smell of alcohol, it made them even more intoxicated.

"Tell me about Xie Lan, how could she be like this..."

While Pi Changshan was still complaining, Zhao Yutian had already arrived in his car and parked it in front of the restaurant.

Pi Changshan, pushing a bicycle, waved to them:

"You guys...you go ahead, I'll just ride my bike back, the breeze will help me sober up."

"You're kidding me."

Lin Chen grabbed the handlebars and pulled his arm to shove him into the car.

"What if something happens after drinking this much alcohol? Get in the car quickly, lock the bicycle and push it to the backyard of the restaurant. We can come back to pick it up tomorrow."

Zhao Yutian also got out to help, and the two of them pushed and shoved Pi Changshan into the car. They locked the bicycle and put it in the backyard. After telling the people at the restaurant, they stepped on the gas and drove towards Xiangyashan Village.

As the car drove along the bumpy country road, Zhao Yutian gripped the steering wheel with great satisfaction, occasionally pressing the accelerator to test its power, while constantly saying:

"Brother Chen, your car is really awesome! A good car is different. The chassis and the power are amazing. Once my flower nursery makes money, I'll get one and drive it too."

"Drive slowly and be careful."

Lin Chen leaned against the passenger seat, the effects of the alcohol rising in his head:

"The country roads are winding, stop showing off and behaving recklessly. I can tell you're sober just from driving!"

"No way, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Zhao Yutian agreed verbally, but didn't slow down much; his eyes were full of excitement.

Pi Changshan fell asleep in the back seat after a short while, and started snoring.

Once on the dirt road, Zhao Yutian finally slowed down. After entering the village and arriving at Lin Chen's house, he patted Zhao Yutian on the shoulder.

"Alright, Yutian, just park in front of my house. Help Old Pi back home, and walk slowly. He's had too much to drink, so he might fall."

"Don't worry, Brother Chen, I've got your back!"

Zhao Yutian, supporting the dazed Pi Changshan, stumbled away.

Lin Chen pushed open the door and went home. As soon as he changed his shoes, he heard a noisy chattering in the living room.

Li Qiuge's voice, in particular, was sweet, clear, and bright, making it stand out among the voices of the other women.

Upon hearing the door open, the people on the sofa all turned around and their eyes fell on him.

"You're back. Did you get everything done?" Xie Xiaomei asked casually.

"Can't I handle this myself?"

Lin Chen walked over with a smile and leaned against the armrest of the sofa:

"It's done! I'll build a small villa for it whenever I'm in a good mood."

"Really? Brother Chen, you're amazing!" Chen Yannan was the first to clap and laugh.

"That's right, only you have this ability." Xie Dajiao, holding her child, sat down beside her and also praised her.

The group of people showered Lin Chen with compliments, making him feel quite flattered. Fueled by the alcohol, he became even more eager to show off.

He casually unbuttoned his shirt, tossed it onto the sofa, walked to the refrigerator, took out a large gulp of ice water, and felt much better after the cool water went down his throat.

He turned and ran upstairs, returning in a couple of minutes to change into a pair of loose pajama pants. Holding the blueprints, he spread them out on the coffee table, shirtless.

"Come, come, let me show you something good. I've already figured it out. I'll build it like that little manor: villas here, gardens here, and a swimming pool in the back..."

Several women gathered around to look at the blueprints and listened attentively to his explanation.

Li Qiuge, however, couldn't take her eyes off Lin Chen.

He had broad shoulders, a slim waist, and defined muscles. He exuded energy, and sweat streamed down his neck. His presence made her heart pound and her face burn. She couldn't focus on what was drawn on the blueprints at all.

"Qiuge? What do you think of Qiuge?" Wang Xiaomeng nudged her arm and asked with a smile.

Li Qiuge snapped out of her daze, hurriedly nodded, and didn't dare to glance at Lin Chen, repeatedly saying:

"Great! Excellent! Fantastic! The design is superb!"

The commotion lasted until after 10 p.m., when everyone went back to their rooms to sleep.

In the master bedroom, Lin Chen lay on the bed with his arm around Xie Xiaomei, smelling her faint fragrance. He felt hot all over after drinking and tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

He simply threw off the covers and sat up, groping his way out of bed in the dark.

"Why aren't you sleeping?" Xie Xiaomei asked softly as she groggily opened her eyes.

"I can't sleep because I've been drinking, so I'm going to go chat with Yannan."

Xie Xiaomei sighed helplessly, muttering with her eyes closed:

"Yan Nan isn't feeling well today, so don't bother her."

Lin Chen paused for a moment, then spoke again:

"Then I'll go chat with Xiaomeng for a bit."

After speaking, he tiptoed out of the master bedroom. The hallway was lit by nightlights. The effects of the alcohol hadn't completely worn off, and he felt slightly dizzy. He passed a room with the door slightly ajar and lights on inside.

He quietly pushed open the door and saw Wang Xiaomeng standing by the bed with her back to the door, folding clothes. Only the bedside lamp was on, and the warm light fell on her. Her pajamas outlined her waistline, and he recognized her just by looking at her pajamas.

Lin Chen walked over quietly, and before she could react, he wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, placed his hands on her abdomen, and pressed his chest firmly against her back, so hard that he made her lean forward and fall onto the half-folded clothes.

He lowered his head, his lips brushing against her burning cheek, his breath hot.

"Xiao Meng, did you miss me?"

The person in his arms was tense, their face burning red, their shoulders trembling. After stammering for a long time, they finally managed to squeeze out a sentence in a trembling voice:

"Brother Chen...I...I am Qiu Ge..."

Lin Chen's head buzzed, and the effects of the alcohol sobered up considerably.

He loosened his grip, quickly got up, grabbed the person's shoulder and turned them around. In the dim light of the bedside lamp, he saw that it was indeed Li Qiuge!

The girl's hair was disheveled, her face was flushed red, her eyes were wet, the collar of her pajamas was tugged crookedly, and she looked at him with a flustered and embarrassed expression, her lips trembling.

Lin Chen immediately took half a step back, helping her up and admitting his mistake.

"I'm so sorry, I've had too much to drink and mistook you for someone else. I'm really sorry, did I hurt you?"

Li Qiuge quickly pulled up the collar of her pajamas, frantically straightened them, and pulled up her pajama bottoms. Lin Chen was known for his quick hands; you can ask Xiangxiu if you don't believe me.

Li Qiuge took a long time to catch her breath, her voice still trembling, and looked up to ask:

"Brother Chen, you... you and Sister Xiaomeng, you two..."

He stopped mid-sentence, though he had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on, but he just couldn't believe Lin Chen would do such a thing.
