Chapter 166 Breaking off friendship
After Mu Qinglan left, the relief on Qiao Shinian's face completely disappeared.
When Mo Lin walked in with the wine, he saw Qiao Shinian staring at him expressionlessly. He shrugged and said, "I was just dragged away by someone I know to have a couple of drinks. Look, I managed to get away with great difficulty."
Qiao Shinian picked up a fist-sized bottle of wine and shook it, estimating that there was no more than 300 milliliters of wine in it.
"No drugs, right?" she asked casually, and without waiting for Mo Lin to answer, she took the wine jug and started drinking, as if she was drinking a beverage.
When the wine entered her mouth, she was slightly surprised. It was hot, not cold.
Mo Lin chuckled: "You don't look like a lady from a noble family at all. I really don't know what the virtuous king sees in you."
"I have fair skin, beautiful face and long legs, what's wrong with that?" Qiao Shinian sneered disdainfully, "Lady from a wealthy family? What a nice word, a girl who is kept in seclusion, if she's lucky she's the apple of her family's eye, if she's unlucky she's like the family's cattle and sheep, and can be sold off at will."
"You..." Mo Lin didn't know what to say. He propped up his head and looked at Qiao Shinian. "You are really different from everyone else. You are neither a maid nor a lady. I really can't understand your manners. You are a child of the underworld, but you have the air of a girl from an aristocratic family. You are a girl from an aristocratic family, but you are so rude."
"I am a good and free young man." Qiao Shinian looked at the snacks on the table, picked up a piece and took a bite.
Soon the pot of wine was empty, and Qiao Shinian reached out and picked up another pot.
"Drink slowly, no one is competing with you." Seeing Qiao Shinian drinking in a hurry, Mo Lin reached out and held her hand. For a moment, he was reluctant to let go. "Why follow him!? In the capital, he is the one who causes the most trouble. You will also be implicated, whether openly or covertly."
Qiao Shinian squinted at Mo Lin holding his hand and laughed speechlessly: "Tsk, why didn't I realize that I have the characteristics of being a charmer. Mr. Mo, you don't look like a gentleman! Pulling and tugging, and talking bad about others behind their backs is your upbringing?"
Mo Lin's face froze. He let go of her hand, stood up, and placed his hands on the table, staring at Qiao Shinian: "Yes, I like you! How about you spend the night with me? I promise, I will do better than the virtuous king. Unlike him, I will marry you, and you will be my first wife!"
"Uh..., classic greasy scumbag talk, verbally promising to trick an ignorant girl into having sex with you."
Qiao Shinian drank the wine in one gulp, raised his eyes and looked at Mo Lin seriously: "I always thought you were just a playboy pretending to play with the world, but you are actually a reliable and responsible person. Now it seems that I was wrong.
I don’t care what your personality is like now, and after what you said, I don’t want to know either. Let’s end our friendship here.
I will find a chance to repay the favor I owe you."
"He can't marry you at all! Do you want to keep wasting time with him? Even your peaceful life will become unstable after he has a princess. Do you want to continue like this?!"
Qiao Shinian stood up and glanced at the wine pot on the table: "No one knows what will happen in the future, but now I feel very relaxed with him, and I like him, which is enough. If a princess really appears in the future to deal with someone like me who has no background, it won't be too late for me to leave then. It's just a few years of youth. There is still a long way to go, and I am still young."
"Your recommendation is indeed good, and thank you for your concern. We have different ideas, so we have nothing to say. So, goodbye." After walking outside, Qiao Shinian covered his mouth and yawned, "Yingzhu, remember to settle the bill just now. I'll change to another private room and wait."
The number of people outside the window gradually decreased, and there were six more pots in front of Qiao Shinian.
The alcohol got to her head and she gradually became sleepy. She propped her head up with one hand and muttered, "It's been several hours, why hasn't he returned yet?"
"drunk?"
"A little tipsy." Qiao Shinian felt that he was still quite conscious. He looked up at Mu Qingchen. He was wearing a different outfit from the one he wore when he left.
"Hold me." Qiao Shinian raised his hands and waited to be picked up.
Mu Qingchen picked her up lovingly and walked outside: "Why did you drink so much?"
"It's delicious. And I'm bored waiting." Qiao Shinian leaned his head on Mu Qingchen's chest and said lazily, "Why did you change your clothes? Did you do something to let me down after you left?"
"No." Mu Qingchen ignored everyone's gazes and strode out of the restaurant holding Qiao Shinian.
In the carriage, Qiao Shinian leaned against Mu Qingchen's arms and rubbed against him: "This wine is good, Mo Lin recommended it, I'll wait for you there."
"Really? Let me try it." Mu Qingchen put his arm around her waist with one hand, lifted her chin with the other, and lowered his head to kiss her.
"Hmm~"
Qiao Shinian's head, which was already a little dizzy, became even more dizzy.
"It's really sweet." Mu Qingchen curled the corners of his mouth, looking at the person who was breathing slightly with watery eyes, he couldn't help but feel hot all over.
"They are all wrong. I can marry you as my princess." He asked softly, "Will you marry me?"
Qiao Shinian looked at Mu Qingchen and took a long time to react before shaking his head: "Not getting married for now."
"Why?" Mu Qingchen frowned.
As time passed, Mu Qingchen had already carried her back to her yard.
Qiao Shinian held his face drowsily and kissed him: "There are a lot of things you don't understand, and I'm not ready to get married yet. In general... the timing is not right."
Mu Qingchen looked at Qiao Shinian and asked, "Don't you want to marry me?"
"Well..., I don't know. It's a bit early for us to talk about marriage now." Qiao Shinian lay on the bed and looked at Mu Qingchen. He always felt that something was wrong with him today, but he couldn't figure it out for a while.
"I understand. You should have a good rest." Mu Qingchen lowered his head and kissed her forehead.
Watching people leave, Qiao Shinian couldn't fall asleep. She felt like she had drunk too much tonight.
He sat cross-legged on the bed and thought for a long time, then stood up, put on his cloak, and went out to the next yard to look for Mu Qingchen.
When I pushed the door open, I saw that although the light was on in Mu Qingchen's room, no one was there.
Faintly, she heard the sound of water.
So, she sat on Mu Qingchen's bed, holding the hot water bottle and waiting for him.
The temperature in the house was a little cold, unlike where she had a charcoal fire in the stove.
After a long time, Qiao Shinian looked at the person standing in front of him, crawled out from the quilt and reached out to pull his clothes.
The originally loose clothes were opened open by her pulling.
"Wow, nice abdominal muscles." The greedy girl swallowed her saliva. The owner of the abdominal muscles, who had no abdominal muscles at all, stared at her with a complicated expression.
A pair of small hands stroking his body made Mu Qingchen feel as if he was about to be cooked by the heat. He pinched one of the hands that was messing around on his body and said in a hoarse and charming voice: "Why don't you want to marry me? Is it because you are still thinking about your childhood sweetheart who is already married?"
"No, I gave up before he got married." Qiao Shinian only felt that his body was very warm, and that he seemed to be even more drunk.
Mu Qingchen felt a little happy after getting the answer. He saw Qiao Shinian sitting on his legs and pinching his abdomen. A certain part of his abdomen had been bulging up for a long time, and it was swollen and painful.
