30: drunk

Seeing the atmosphere was off, Li Xuening again argued, "Little Xi sister, I really didn't mean it."

"How about this, I can compensate you."

Before Li Xuening could finish, Ye Xi immediately interrupted her.

"Sister Xuening, please don't say anymore, I'm really going to die of embarrassment."

Ye Xi covered her pretty face, pretending to have suffered a great loss.

Actually, she felt incredibly good inside; although passive, she didn't lose out no matter how she calculated it.

"Alright, alright, let's just move past this."

Li Xuening turned her face, placed a delicate jade finger to her lips, licked her thin lips wetly, and her calm, watery eyes were full of lingering desire.

For the next few minutes, neither of them spoke, just eating in silence.

Li Xuening's peripheral vision subtly scanned Ye Xi; it was great, she wasn't angry.

Unlike Li Xuening's infatuation, Ye Xi was thinking about how to reasonably get herself into Li Xuening's social circle.

When they were almost done eating, the two shyly exchanged glances.

Just then, a gust of wind blew, and a piece of paper suddenly brushed against Li Xuening's face.

Li Xuening took the paper from her face, looked at it, and saw it was a job application.

However, when she looked closely at the resume, she immediately felt very displeased.

Xiao Xi was actually going to be someone's secretary; how could she accept that?

One must know that people's hearts are not what they used to be in this world; good bosses are truly too few, and many bosses use various methods to manipulate female secretaries.

What if Xiao Xi was manipulated?

No, no, no, Li Xuening subconsciously shook her head; even if she were to be a secretary, she could only be her own secretary.

"Xiao Xi, are you looking for a job?" Li Xuening asked somewhat anxiously.

"Yes, I've been looking for a long time, but I haven't found a suitable one."

"It's nothing, it's nothing, Sister Xuening is treating me to dinner; at such a happy moment, let's not talk about this."

Ye Xi's shoulders drooped slightly, and her voice gradually lowered, giving the impression that she had suffered a great grievance.

"Come, I'll toast you with a drink."

Ye Xi forced a smile at the corner of her mouth, very gentlemanly poured two glasses of red wine, and handed one to Li Xuening.

"Mm, good."

Li Xuening took the wine handed to her by Ye Xi, not rushing to inquire further about the matter.

The two gently clinked glasses.

Ye Xi's delicate cherry lips touched the high-stemmed glass, taking a small sip.

She didn't believe this wine was some cheap stuff, after all, the food wasn't cheap either.

"How is it?"

Li Xuening took a small sip, looking at Ye Xi with a smile.

This wine was indeed not cheap for ordinary people, but Li Xuening was not an ordinary person.

She hoped that Ye Xi could get drunk here today.

That way, she could legitimately take Ye Xi home, and perhaps even sleep over at her house.

"Mm."

After half a glass of wine, Ye Xi's delicate brows furrowed slightly, and her pretty face was somewhat flushed.

She lightly covered her red lips with her fair hand and coughed a few times.

"Sorry, this is my first time drinking alcohol."

"I really don't know how to drink alcohol; it's like drinking water, not elegant at all, truly a waste."

After speaking, she placed the wine glass on the side of the table.

Xiao Ai: "Your trick is truly brilliant; pretending to be drunk so she takes you home, then using drunken words to express your true intentions, and you can even take advantage of her."

"However, aren't you afraid that one day she'll find out what you've done, or discover your green tea nature, and severely 'discipline' you?"

Ye Xi: "Pah, pah, pah, don't talk nonsense."

Looking at Ye Xi's increasingly red cheeks, Li Xuening asked, "Are you drunk?"

"No, I'm not drunk, I still want to drink."

Ye Xi stubbornly shook her head.

After speaking, her hand again picked up the wine glass, wanting to pour herself another.

Seeing her action, Li Xuening felt very conflicted.

She really wanted Ye Xi to get drunk so she could take advantage.

But the alcohol content of this wine was not low, and she was afraid that Ye Xi, who had never drunk before, would be harmed.
