"Alright, alright, goodbye." Xu Linchuan impatiently shooed them away.
He staggered to his feet, grabbed the wine bottle, and poured another cup for the two people seated beside him.
As the wine in the glass neared the rim, Yu Zhi reached out her hands in a chaotic flurry, as if trying to snatch it away. "Wine!"
Shi Wei quickly placed an arm around her shoulders and leaned down to coax her softly, "I'll let you drink at home, be good."
"Really?"
"Mhm, I won't lie to you."
Worried she would continue causing a fuss about drinking, Shi Wei decided not to bother with the other two anymore.
He effortlessly scooped her into his arms and carried her out of Meiyue Pavilion.
Inside the taxi.
Shi Wei gazed at the young girl now seated on his knees, his eyes darkening slightly.
"Zhizhi, move over." His voice was hoarse, tinged with restraint.
Yu Zhi shook her head, wriggling uncontrollably and leaning her body against his chest.
