How could he reject her when she was being so adorable? In the end, he agreed, “Just one.”
“You’re the best, Brother Xiao!” Ye Qiao was a sweet girl. Unknowingly, they were displaying PDA again!
Ye Qiao finished every bit of the beer without pausing for a break. Bottoms up!
The food was ready after a round of drinks, and everyone sat down and digged-in. Some were stirring the food in the hotpot, while others were boasting about their life. They had not been this relaxed since they joined the service as a battle guard.
Their topics were mostly about Lao Cai; the man must have been busy sneezing all night since they were cursing him all the time.
“Hey, Brother Xiao! Let’s talk about you and our sister-in-law! How did you meet each other? Is she your sugar mommy? Hahaha…” Fang Zhuo asked in a teasing manner.
“You’re right! She’s my sugar mommy!” Lu Beixiao answered with pride.
On the other side, Ye Cheng almost spat out the beer in his mouth as he groaned and uttered, “I didn’t know that my sister is so generous to the extent she can afford to fund you, Brother Xiao!”
Certainly, Da Sha was the only one who would believe the joke. Fang Zhuo and the rest were not that naive; hence, they certainly knew that Lu Beixiao’s family was financially more powerful than the Ye family since Ye Cheng often compromised with Lu Beixiao even though he was from a noble family.
However, the origins were not important for a hero, everyone was equal on the battleground, and the trainers never gave in to those who came from prestigious backgrounds. In fact, the more prestigious their family was, the stricter the trainer would be throughout the process.
Ye Cheng was already feeling tipsy when the dinner was coming to an end. He walked toward Ye Qiao and said, “Hey, sister! Are you still upset with me? Do me a favor, finish this. You know what? I was a bastard back then when I was young. Please don’t take what I said too personally! You definitely had nothing to do with those complicated relationships our seniors had in the past! Now, you’re my buddy’s wife, so I will not allow anyone from the Ye family to bully you!”
Ye Qiao smiled and stood up as she lifted the beer bottle. “Don’t stop me, Brother Xiao. I must finish this for Ye Cheng.”
He was helpless as he looked at her firm expression.
Lu Beixiao decided not to interfere as he was aware of the scandals from the Ye family. He believed that Ye Qiao had gone through a lot of hardship for being an illegitimate child. He was sad for her as he thought about her struggle.
Ye Qiao even took the initiative to clink her beer bottle to Ye Cheng’s bottle as she said, “Bottom’s up! I accept your apology!”
She drank directly from the bottle without using a glass. Pauselessly, she finished the entire bottle before Ye Cheng managed to finish his!
“I did misbehave too, Ye Cheng. This bottle is for you!” Ye Qiao picked up another bottle as she looked at Ye Cheng. Swiftly, she poured the beer into her mouth as she raised her chin. Lu Beixiao, on the other hand, remained seated.
The bottle was tossed away right after Ye Qiao finished the beer. “All of you judged me and cursed me for being an illegitimate daughter, but you should blame Ye Shengxun! He was the one who approached my biological mother in the first place when he came to our town… what does it have to do with me!?” Ye Qiao shouted as she fixed her gaze on Ye Cheng, who just finished his second bottle of beer.
That little girl definitely had too much beer this time.
Lu Beixiao got up and pulled her into his embrace with her head leaning against his chest.
“It’s our fault, Ye Qiao! I’ll definitely stand up for you in the next family gathering!” Ye Cheng shouted as he tapped his chest.
“It’s fine… I don’t care how you think about me anymore! For the rest of my life, I just want to be with those who deserve my appreciation! Those who are insignificant can stay away from me! Otherwise, I’ll kill them!” Agitated, Ye Qiao grabbed another beer bottle from the table and pointed it at Ye Cheng. She was drunk and thought she was in her past life.
“Qiao Qiao!” Lu Beixiao called her with a soft tone.
Ye Qiao, who was angry, immediately turned gentle as she heard his voice. She turned around and buried herself in his embrace.
“Let’s go, Brother Xiao…” Ye Qiao smiled as she gently rubbed her face against his masculine chest with her eyes closed.
