C749 Missed Opportunity
Kang Ying and Shi Jiangyuan nodded in unison, indicating that the news was indeed accurate.
"Great, congratulations. It seems that I have to drink the wine this time!" Diao Chan said happily.
It wasn't that Diao Chan couldn't drink, she just drank as little as she could without drinking.
Unlike in the past, when she had a low position and needed to drink with less and less people, she had become the CEO of a popular film television company. Other people would have to see her expression, but now she could do whatever she wanted without drinking.
Actually, this was one of the reasons why Diao Chan wanted to start a business. Although it wasn't the main reason, it was also part of the reason for her resignation.
Shi Jiangyuan nodded and happily said: "Drink, today we will all drink to our heart's content!"
Zhao Shihong said, "I heard the black beer imported here is quite good. Let's drink black beer. I think it's a bit disgusting to drink low alcohol, but the strong black beer is quite appetizing. "
Diao Chan had never tasted black beer before, so she was willing to give it a try. Kang Ying and Shi Jiangyuan had similar tastes, but black beer was to her taste. Therefore, Zhao Shihong had the waiter bring her a bunch of black beer.
It was a dark, heavy, and slightly bitter taste. He took another sip, but at the same time, he could feel the rich, mellow aroma of malt.
"Sigh, Elder Brother Yuan is married. Diao Chan also has someone she likes. I'm the only one left. It seems that I really need to work hard!" Zhao Shihong drank a glass of black beer and said with emotion, "Otherwise, when my mom sees me, she will say that Jiangyuan has already married, what about you? Bring one back for me to see! "This is so annoying!"
Zhao Shihong's words, especially imitating his mother's vividness, made everyone burst out laughing.
Because Shi Jiangyuan was in a good mood today, he frequently raised his glass to urge Kang Ying to drink. Even though Kang Ying was in a good mood, she did not stop him.
However, Kang Ying controlled herself a little bit. She still needed to drive, so she had a drink since she was able to control the speed at which she drove.
It was fortunate that he didn't have to call for a substitute right now, otherwise, he would have to call for one. However, it was still not the right time for a substitute to call for one.
In the end, no one ate the roasted fish. Instead, they drank cups after cups of wine. The four of them talked about business, life, and their dreams with great pleasure.
When the meal was over, the few of them were already drunk. Kang Ying and Shi Jiangyuan drove here in their own car. Zhao Shihong and Diao Chan probably knew that they had to drink, so they took a taxi.
Thus, after some discussion, they let Kang Ying drive them back one by one. After all, they had already drunk a lot and were quite tipsy. They wouldn't be able to rest easy even if they got a taxi, especially for a beauty like Diao Chan.
Kang Ying drove Diao Chan home first. She helped her up the stairs and followed her into her room. They arranged for her to sleep before leaving.
After Zhao Shihong arrived at the front of the house, he refused their support and shakily entered the house. He turned around and told them, "It's okay, it's okay. I'm not drunk. Let's go get another drink. I'll treat you!"
While they were talking, Zhao Shihong's mother had already heard the sound, so Zhao Shihong quickly shut his mouth.
Shi Jiangyuan and Kang Ying couldn't help but laugh. They only left after sparring with Zhao Shihong's mother.
Kang Ying drove home. Because of the alcohol, she didn't dare to drive too fast, so she drove for over 40 minutes.
When they got home, Cui Huixian was still awake. She turned on the light in the living room and watched TV.
When Shi Jiangyuan and Kang Ying entered the room and saw that he had not rested yet, they knew that he was waiting for them.
Kang Ying said embarrassedly, "Mom, you're still awake?"
"It's fine. How can I sleep if you guys don't come back? "It's good that you're back. I'm going to sleep." Cui Huixian yawned. Seeing that the two of them seemed to be slightly tipsy, she smiled and said, "I've made some sobering tea for you. Drink it yourselves!"
Now that her son had a wife to take care of him, she didn't want to do it anymore, so she just left.
Kang Ying and Shi Jiangyuan looked at each other and smiled. Kang Ying said, "Will Mom blame us?"
"No, don't worry. It was the same with the social gatherings in the past. Mom was worried every time, so when he came back, she would make him some sobering wine and tea."
"Hehe, now that I have father's treatment, the one who has married is indeed different!"
Shi Jiangyuan had a beautiful face and his speech was a bit vague. It seemed like the alcohol was starting to take effect.
Kang Ying helped him back to his bedroom. Shi Jiangyuan had probably relaxed when he got home and started pacing back and forth vigorously.
He drank the most, Zhao Shihong and Diao Chan always toasted to him separately. Because Shi Jiangyuan was happy, he drank twice as much as them.
When they arrived at Shi Jiangyuan's courtyard, Kang Ying turned on the light and helped him up onto the bed. Unexpectedly, when they got to the bed, Shi Jiangyuan fell onto the bed and accidentally tripped over Kang Ying's leg. Shi Jiangyuan fell on his back on the bed and Kang Ying was carried by him and put on top of him.
Kang Ying felt embarrassed. She wanted to get up, but Shi Jiangyuan held her tightly and told her not to go.
Kang Ying looked at his face. Because the alcohol was hot to the touch, and he looked so cute when he spoke, Kang Ying couldn't help but feel her heart soften. She put her head close to his cheek and rubbed it gently, saying:
"Alright, I'm not leaving."
However, Shi Jiangyuan didn't reply for a long time.
Kang Ying was waiting for his next move. When she looked up, she saw that he was already asleep. He even started to raise his head. He had drank too much.
Kang Ying couldn't help but laugh. She got up with difficulty and lifted his legs onto the bed. She took off her shoes, then covered him with the blanket. She then put a teacup of sobered tea beside his bed.
He was also afraid that he would get up in the middle of the night to get thirsty, so he even left a night light on the bedside table.
At first, she thought Shi Jiangyuan wanted to do something with the alcohol, but he just drank too much and fell asleep.
The next day, when Shi Jiangyuan woke up, his mouth was dry.
It didn't matter what kind of wine it was, it would feel uncomfortable to drink too much of a low grade wine. He opened a thermos cup and saw that it was the familiar smell of sobered tea. He gulped down half a cup before feeling much more comfortable.
Then, he recalled the final scene before he put the broken piece to sleep and pounded his bed: such a good chance, I don't know what Kang Ying will think because I drank too much!
Shi Jiangyuan woke up and went to wash up. When he arrived at the dining hall, he saw that Kang Ying was already eating breakfast. Shi Jiangyuan looked at her with a fleeting gaze, but Kang Ying didn't look at him.
Shi Jiangyuan thought: Is Kang Ying angry?
But it was inconvenient to explain when his mother was here.
Just when Shi Jiangyuan was in a difficult situation, Kang Ying noticed him and asked, "Do you want some congee or a sandwich?"
"Have some porridge!" Upon seeing Kang Ying pay attention to him, he heaved a sigh of relief, secretly happy.
There was no change in Kang Ying's expression. Only then did Shi Jiangyuan finally relax and thought to himself: "I knew my wife wasn't that easily angered."
