177: Section 177

Xiao Fan looked at Xi Yu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, a little embarrassed. He had instinctively reached out his hand just now; there was nothing he could do, some habits couldn't be changed.

"I believe you, but can you... please take your hand away first."

Xi Yu's body trembled slightly. She had never even been in love, and now being treated like this by Xiao Fan, an inexplicable fear enveloped her heart. But what she didn't realize was that amidst the fear, there was also a hint of excitement.

"Ahem..."

Xiao Fan coughed a few times, covering up the awkward situation, then placed his right hand on the steering wheel.

What just happened? Xiao Fan claimed he had amnesia and couldn't remember, absolutely couldn't remember!

Fortunately, Xi Yu didn't know Xiao Fan's thoughts at this moment, otherwise, she would definitely be cursing.

"Oh dear, I almost forgot, we agreed to drink tonight."

Seeing Xi Yu pout her small mouth, with a somewhat wronged expression on her face, Xiao Fan quickly changed the subject.

"That's right! Then let's go buy some fine wine first!"

Hearing the words "drink wine," Xi Yu's eyes instantly curved into crescent moons, like a bright full moon, and a smile appeared on her face.

She loved fine wine more than anything.

However, in her excitement, Xi Yu completely failed to notice the meaningful smile playing on Xiao Fan's lips at this moment.

Chapter 169: Buying Gifts

After Xiao Fan took Xi Yu to buy the wine, he had the shop owner arrange for someone to deliver it directly to the hotel.

"Take care."

Xiao Fan and Xi Yu left amidst the respectful words of the shop owner.

Having bought so much high-end baijiu and red wine at once, the boss almost enshrined Xiao Fan like an ancestor.

On the way back to the hotel, neither of them spoke a word.

Xiao Fan didn't know what to say, while Xi Yu was a mix of excitement and nervousness.

Upon arriving at the hotel room, the wine hadn't been delivered yet, so Xiao Fan simply opened his phone and started looking at takeout options.

"Little fox, what do you want to eat?"

"I'm not little at all!"

Xi Yu proudly puffed out her chest, "I want to eat meat."

"Alright, then I'll order more substantial dishes."

Xiao Fan picked up his phone and started ordering food. Drinking naturally required snacks, and the most suitable snack was peanuts.

Otherwise, that classic saying wouldn't have circulated: 'If only I had two more peanuts, I wouldn't have gotten drunk and called my ex crying.'

After ordering more than ten dishes, Xiao Fan finally stopped.

Soon, the wine arrived, but the takeout was still four or five kilometers away.

Xi Yu greedily sniffed the aroma of wine emanating in the air, then looked at Xiao Fan with eager eyes, as if asking if she could drink now.

"If you want to drink, go ahead and start."

Xiao Fan smiled slightly; after all, his true intention was not the wine itself, but the scenery around it.

"Hehe, I knew you were the best, Master~"

Having received Xiao Fan's permission, Xi Yu smiled sweetly, hugged a bottle of baijiu, and began to drink.

"Gulp... gulp."

Under Xiao Fan's slightly surprised gaze, Xi Yu quickly finished a bottle of Wuliangye.

"Good wine! We don't have such fragrant and mellow wine where I come from, how fortunate!"

Xi Yu's small face was slightly flushed, and a look of satisfaction appeared on her face. Then, she turned her gaze to Xiao Fan.

"Master, you drink too! Let's drink until we drop tonight!"

"Haha, you drink first. I'll drink after the food arrives."

Xiao Fan smiled faintly. He still preferred to drink with food. As for his previous words about quitting alcohol, Xiao Fan had long since forgotten them.

"Alright, then I won't be polite."

Xi Yu placed the empty wine bottle aside, then picked up another bottle of Maotai, opened it, and began to savor it with great relish.

Meanwhile, Xiao Fan took out his phone and started chatting with Chen Xueqi via messages.

"Baby, I won't be coming back tonight. Remember to go to bed early."

"???"

Chen Xueqi, upon seeing the message, immediately replied with several question marks. A woman's intuition told her that Xiao Fan was definitely up to no good tonight.

"If you're not coming back tonight, then you don't need to come back tomorrow either."

"Alright, since Wife says so, I naturally have to obey. So I won't be coming back tomorrow either."

Chen Xueqi: !!!

Upon seeing this sentence, Chen Xueqi immediately exploded, almost crushing the phone in her hand.

"Come home with me tomorrow to see my mom. We'll stay there tomorrow night."

Just as Chen Xueqi was contemplating how to write a long complaint, Xiao Fan's next sentence made her anger vanish instantly. In fact, she even felt a bit nervous now.

Although it wasn't the first time she had met Xiao Fan's parents, this was considered the first time she would stay at Xiao Fan's parents' house.

"Why didn't you say so earlier? You made me not have enough time to prepare gifts for Uncle and Auntie, hmph!"

Chen Xueqi sent an angry emoji, then began to ponder what to buy.

"No need to be so formal, it's just for one night."

Xiao Fan naturally knew that Mu Yun was very satisfied with Chen Xueqi; whether she bought gifts or not wasn't important. What was important was when she could hold her grandson.

"No, I'm going to prepare gifts for Uncle and Auntie. I'm not talking to you anymore."

After sending the message, Chen Xueqi locked her phone, then quickly tidied up a bit and hurried out the door.

Just as Xiao Fan was about to reply, his phone rang. He looked at the information displayed on the screen and realized that the takeout had arrived.

"Are the snacks here? I'll go get them, I'll go get them!"

Chapter 170: Bullying the Fox

Xi Yu walked to the door with an excited expression. She also really liked the food here; it perfectly suited her taste.

"Oh yeah, come on, Master~"

Xi Yu was so excited that her pink ears unconsciously popped out. Coupled with this extremely seductive remark, it almost made Xiao Fan lose control.

Who could refuse a pink-haired fox saying such things?

At this moment, Xiao Fan's eyes were a bit glazed over. "If she gets drunk later, should I be proactive? Or should I be passive?"

As Xiao Fan pondered, Xi Yu on the side had already placed all the takeout on the table and opened it, and the aroma instantly filled the entire room.

"Mmm, it's so delicious, even better than what I ate last time."

Xi Yu didn't stand on ceremony, picked up her chopsticks, and grabbed a piece of braised pork. The melt-in-your-mouth texture made Xi Yu praise it involuntarily.

"Master, why aren't you eating?"

Xi Yu only reacted at this moment, turning her gaze to Xiao Fan, "Haha, eat, of course I'm eating."

Xiao Fan smiled, immediately took the chopsticks Xi Yu handed him, and began to taste the food.

"Master, later you can't secretly use your inner energy to force the alcohol out; that wouldn't be very good."

Xiao Fan had just taken a sip of wine when Xi Yu, sitting opposite him, spoke up to remind him, as if she had already seen through Xiao Fan's little scheme.

"What are you talking about? I, Xiao Fan, never do such things when I drink. Xi Yu, saying that really makes me sad. How about this, you punish yourself with three cups, and we'll call it even."

Xiao Fan immediately looked at Xi Yu with a serious expression, as if he had been greatly wronged.

"This... alright."

Xi Yu and Xiao Fan stared at each other for a few seconds, but she eventually gave in. In Xiao Fan's eyes, she saw sincerity. Feeling a little guilty, Xi Yu immediately picked up her wine glass and drank three bowls.

Seeing this, Xiao Fan picked up the wine and refilled Xi Yu's glass. His main concern was for his subordinate.

"Thank you, Master~"

Xi Yu, who didn't understand why, quickly thanked Xiao Fan for being so considerate.

After all, ordinary slaves usually did the lowest tasks, and it was already good if their master didn't abuse them, let alone have the master pour them wine.

"Master, you are so kind~"

Xi Yu's face was slightly flushed, and she stared blankly at Xiao Fan's face, feeling an inexplicable warmth on her cheeks.

"Hehe, no need to be so polite. Just be more casual in front of me from now on."

And so, the two of them drank cup after cup. As they drank, both began to feel tipsy, and empty wine bottles were scattered all over the floor.
