Chapter 45: The B*tch Arrives

He stared at Qiao Xi’s red lips for a long time before leaning over slightly. He deliberately lowered his voice with a hint of coaxing. “I can make the soup not bitter. Do you want to test it out?”

Qiao Xi’s brain that was numbed by the alcohol slowly churned. “Are you… saying the truth?”

“Of course, it’s true.” Gu Zheng did not have the slightest intention of deceiving a drunkard. He pointed at his lips and said righteously, “One kiss, and you’ll be able to drink sweet hangover soup.”

Qiao Xi grunted. “Liar.”

After getting drunk, Qiao Xi had lost her sharp edges and become especially cute. Gu Zheng’s Adam’s apple bobbed. He grabbed the hangover soup and gulped it down before pressing his lips against Qiao Xi’s without any warning.

He could taste the lingering alcohol mixed with the sweetness of the hangover soup.

A bowl’s worth of hangover soup was fed to Qiao Xi by Gu Zheng. After he was done, he leaned his forehead against Qiao Xi and asked in a slightly hoarse voice, “Is it bitter?”

Qiao Xi’s eyes were moist, and the corners of her eyes were red. She subconsciously shook her head when she heard Gu Zheng’s words. “It’s not bitter. It’s sweet.” As soon as she finished speaking, the tip of her pink tongue licked the corner of her lips. Gu Zheng’s breathing instantly became heavier.

As if she had sensed danger, Qiao Xi’s hazy eyes gradually became clearer. After Gu Zheng recovered his senses and saw her staring at him with a vigilant expression, he could not help but laugh. “You only know how to be vigilant now? Don’t you think it’s too late for that?”

…

The next day, Qiao Xi abruptly sat up in bed. Did she drink alcohol last night?!

“It’s still early, let’s sleep a little more.”

A hoarse voice came from the side, followed by a muscular arm that reached out from under the covers to hug Qiao Xi’s slender waist. As the world spun, she lay on his hard chest.

Qiao Xi was stunned.

She turned her neck. It was her master bedroom, but why was Gu Zheng here?! Gulping, Qiao Xi touched her body under the blanket and her face turned pale. “Gu Zheng, where are my clothes?!”

“Why would you wear clothes when you’re sleeping?”

Gu Zheng was in a daze as he tried to pull Qiao Xi into his embrace. The next second, Qiao Xi mercilessly pinched his arm.

“… F*ck!”

Gu Zheng instantly woke up.

He looked at Qiao Xi who was staring fixedly at him, and his handsome face was slightly helpless. “Ungrateful wolf, is this how you repay your benefactor?”

Benefactor?

Qiao Xi was puzzled.

Gu Zheng reminded her. “You drank alcohol yesterday. One glass and you collapsed.” To be exact, she collapsed after a mouthful.

“If I hadn’t realized it in time, you would’ve spent the entire night on the floor. The servants would only realize you were unconscious the next day and you would’ve gotten a fever. You wouldn’t be as energetic and active as you are now.”

Listening to Gu Zheng’s words, Qiao Xi’s memories slowly came back to her. Yesterday when she was in a daze, she did see Gu Zheng dashing toward her with a panicked expression… However, this was not a reason for Gu Zheng to take off her clothes!
