Chapter 1285 - The Childish Wen Xinya
Chapter 1285: The Childish Wen Xinya
The celebratory feast only ended at 10:30 PM. Everyone bid each other goodbye and went home, leaving Wen Xinya alone.
As the boss of Lanxin Company, Wen Xinya was naturally the center of attention during the banquet. Hence, everyone toasted to her for different reasons and she ingested a large amount of alcohol, including the liquor that she had drunk on behalf of Yan Shaoqing. Despite having a good liquor level, she could not quite take it at this point. After the celebratory banquet ended, Wen Xinya was already rather drunk and fuzzy-minded.
Wen Xinya walked towards the exit of the restaurant on an unsteady gait in her stilettos which were of an appropriate height while humming an old and corny song named “Good Life”. She was filled with an inexplicable joy.
Wen Xinya exited Little Southern Nation to see that the lights had already dimmed and traffic was scarce.
The nights in November were freezing. As soon as Wen Xinya exited the restaurant, she was greeted with a sudden gust of cold wind which made her shiver uncontrollably from head to toe. Due to the fact that she had drunk quite a bit of alcohol, her body was extremely warm. However, the cold made her temperature drop and she began to sober up too.
She subconsciously adjusted the fur cardigan on her shoulder in a bit to make herself warmer.
Next, she felt a heavy and thick coat being placed on her shoulders, weighing them down and shielding her from the cold.
Wen Xinya raised her head and held Si Yiyan’s tender gaze. He looked extremely radiant and refined.
Si Yiyan pulled her into his arms and exclaimed, “It’s very cold outside. Let’s go home!”
To his surprise, Wen Xinya removed herself out of his embrace and thumped herself onto the cold, hard ground. She began whining. “I have no energy. I can’t walk anymore. Piggyback me!”
Clearly, Wen Xinya was really drunk.
At this moment, Wen Xinya became a childish little girl right after seeing Si Yiyan.
Si Yiyan hurriedly pulled her and said, “Get up, quick. The ground is really cold.”
Wen Xinya would behave like a recalcitrant child that was hard to deal with whenever she got drunk. Hence… Si Yiyan was rather helpless since he was not experienced in coaxing children. Besides… Wen Xinya often acted strangely whenever she was drunk. It was not like she thought like a child, either.
Refusing to get up, Wen Xinya insisted. “No, no, carry me!”
Wen Xinya pouted, her bright and sparkling eyes resembling the twinkling stars in the sky. Her face was flushed red because of the alcohol, making her cheeks appear like beautiful apples. She looked extremely adorable.
Si Yiyan frantically squatted in front of her and said, “Fine, fine, fine! I’ll carry you on my back. Hurry and get up! Don’t sit on the ground. The weather is freezing. Be careful not to catch a cold.”
Wen Xinya was exceptionally susceptible to the cold because she had just drunk plenty of wine. Hence, she could not stay in the wind for too long.
After waiting for a long while and realizing that there was no action from Wen Xinya, Si Yiyan turned around to see that she was seated on the ground again, staring at him with her eyes wide open. “What’s the matter? Didn’t you want me to carry you? Why aren’t you getting up onto my back?”
Staring at Si Yiyan pitifully, Wen Xinya exclaimed, “I’m not drunk!”
Although her brain was all fogged up, she remembered the alcohol ban that Si Yiyan had put her on. She was extremely terrified of Si Yiyan whenever he got angry. Hence, she knew that he would definitely be infuriated to know that she had drunk plenty of alcohol. She did not want him to be angry.
She’s sitting on the ground and playing cute. How is that not being drunk? “I know, you’re not drunk!”
He had no choice but to give in to her for now. He would teach her a lesson later.
Despite what Si Yiyan had said, Wen Xinya still refused to get up. She said solemnly, “I’m really not drunk. I know that I had to call you to get you to pick me up. I also knew…” She burped and extended her hands before exclaiming with a grin, “This is five!” She then clenched her fist and stuck out one finger followed by another, “1 plus 1 equals 2. Am I right?”
She then laughed smugly and exclaimed, “Look, *burps*… I wasn’t lying to you, was I!?!”
“You’re really impressive. You had so much to drink but you’re still not drunk yet. Baby, shall we go home? It’s freezing outside, don’t catch a cold.” Si Yiyan thought to himself, She’s burping and acting like a child. How dare she say that she’s not drunk?
Wen Xinya initially wanted to get up. However, she sat on the ground again and shook her head fervently. “I didn’t drink that much.”
The veins on Si Yiyan’s forehead began to bulge and he coaxed softly. “Alright, if you say so. Be good… hurry and get up. Let’s go home.”
Wen Xinya finally put on a sweet and radiant smile which made her look innocent. She said coquettishly, “You’re not allowed to get mad at me or punish me.”
She vaguely remembered Si Yiyan saying that he would punish her if she were to drink again.
Si Yiyan began to wonder if she was really drunk or just pretending to be drunk. He said resignedly, “Alright, I won’t get mad at you or punish you.”
He then bent forward and picked her up in his arms. Clearly, he had run out of patience and was extremely worried that she might really fall ill because of the freezing wind.
Wen Xinya initially wanted to struggle but decided not to at the instant that she laid in Si Yiyan’s warm and broad embrace. She remained still like a meek little kitten.
Si Yiyan carried Wen Xinya towards the car by the roadside and placed her onto the passenger’s seat before buckling her seatbelt. He then returned to the driver’s seat and started the engine.
It was already past eleven and there were barely any people on the road. Si Yiyan turned on the autopilot mode and poured a glass of honey water for Wen Xinya. “Have some honey water, it helps with reducing the effects of alcohol!”
Wen Xinya grabbed it and began sipping on it slowly. Feeling much more relaxed after drinking the honey water, she leaned against the seat and stared at Si Yiyan with her eyes wide open.
“Si Yiyan, do you know how happy I am today?”
Now that her health supplements had been launched and listed, her company would expand rapidly.
She had purchased a large plot of land in C City where the environment was pleasant and the air was fresh. In the near future, the land would be used for Lanxin’s health supplement factories.
Si Yiyan said smilingly, “Congratulations on your official product launch and for achieving a sales record of 100,000 yuan on your very first day.”
He had long expected that to be the outcome and hence, was not too surprised.
Wen Xinya laughed silently and asked, “Si Yiyan, give me three years and I’ll get the entire Lanxin Company listed. I’ll transform it into Lanxin Corporation. Do you have faith in me?”
Si Yiyan exclaimed, “I do!”
There was great potential for Lanxin to expand and they had built a strong foundation after three years of hard work put in by Wen Xinya and Yan Shaoqing, who had meticulously run the company. Hence, she meant it when she said that she would get Lanxin Company listed officially within three years.
Wen Xinya began chuckling sheepishly.
