That night, he did not force her.
One could say, she was willing.
Lin Chuxia muttered, "I just didn't know how to deal with these things, so that's why I hid from you later..."
At that time, she was unaware of his feelings for her, thinking that his pursuit of her, as his wife, was only to satisfy a physical need.
And at that point, she seemed to have no reason to refuse, especially since she had already been avoiding the situation for over half a year.
He had given her six months to prepare, and it seemed like it was time for her to give him an answer.
So, when he passed the wine glass to her, she hesitated for a moment but eventually drank it down, and not just a little, either. After that glass, she poured herself quite a few more.
Her goal was to get drunk, but for some reason the alcohol just wasn't affecting her as it usually did; she normally had a low tolerance, but that night, she drank nearly an entire bottle and still remained conscious.
