Missing your smile

Chapter 23 Drinking Contest

Qin Hui followed the waiter for a few minutes before arriving at a very high-class private room.

"Sir, please."

The waiter personally opened the door for Qin Hui.

Qin Hui nodded slightly and walked straight in.

After entering, Qin Hui's gaze swept across the room and he quickly spotted Jiang Yanxi, who was sitting on the sofa reading a magazine.

Jiang Yanxi was dressed beautifully today, in a black OL professional suit. Especially her long legs, encased in gradient black stockings and crossed, gave off an indescribable allure.

Upon seeing Qin Hui enter, Jiang Yanxi put down the magazine, revealing her peerless beauty.

"President Jiang, why did you suddenly want to treat me to a meal?"

Qin Hui scratched his head and chuckled, his heart pounding continuously.

Logically speaking, when encountering such a stunning beauty, Qin Hui should have pounced on her. However, Qin Hui dared not do so because the woman before him was quite cunning, and might have already dug a pit for him to fall into.

Women, especially smart and beautiful ones, are best not to offend.

Jiang Yanxi didn't speak. Her beautiful autumn-water eyes were fixed on Qin Hui, as if the person before her had a completely different personality.

"Qin Hui, why are you so distant? You weren't like this before."

Jiang Yanxi asked with great curiosity.

Knowing that this was her turf, Jiang Yanxi naturally exuded a queen-like aura. If she hadn't planned to take you home as her wife before, who knew you could even sic dogs on people? Who would dare offend a woman like you? Of course, these were Qin Hui's inner thoughts, which he would never dare to voice.

"Heh heh, President Jiang, I was just joking before. Please don't mind."

Qin Hui said helplessly.

"What if I do mind?"

Jiang Yanxi's mind moved slightly, and she took a few steps closer to Qin Hui.

Normally, Jiang Yanxi would not have such curious thoughts. Today, she was simply feeling playful.

As the beauty drew nearer, Qin Hui could smell the faint scent of lavender in the air. Without a doubt, this was Jiang Yanxi's unique personal fragrance. However, looking at Jiang Yanxi's demeanor, it seemed as though she was about to make a move on him.

"Cough cough, President Jiang, if you have something to say, just say it."

Qin Hui quickly retreated a couple of steps and said urgently. It wasn't that Qin Hui didn't want to flirt with the beauty before him, but Qin Hui felt that Jiang Yanxi was acting somewhat abnormally, and Qin Hui dared not be careless.

"Heh heh, what are you nervous about? I just wanted to treat you to a meal, as a way of repaying your favor."

"What, you have an objection?"

Jiang Yanxi directly sat down on the dining chair, her beautiful legs crossed elegantly.

"No objection, of course no objection."

Qin Hui smiled awkwardly, the stone in his heart finally dropping. He had thought Jiang Yanxi was going to play a trick on him, but it turned out she just wanted to treat him to a meal. Inexplicably, Qin Hui felt a bit disappointed, having thought Jiang Yanxi had taken a liking to him and was going to make a move.

Seeing Qin Hui behaving so properly, Jiang Yanxi was satisfied. She then snapped her fingers, and the waiters began to serve the dishes.

Qin Hui, who had been somewhat nervous earlier, instantly relaxed upon seeing the table full of delicacies, his gaze fixed on the king crab with its nine legs.

In addition to the precious dishes, the waiters also brought in two bottles of Niulan Shan Erguotou. Seeing these two bottles of Erguotou, Qin Hui was a bit bewildered. Shouldn't a female CEO like Jiang Yanxi be drinking Lafite from '82? How could she drink such a strong liquor?

As if sensing Qin Hui's curiosity, Jiang Yanxi slowly opened her mouth and said, "When my father first founded Jiang's Group, he was penniless. His greatest pleasure after returning home was to have a drink of Erguotou. Although he had money later and plenty of fine wines, he still missed the taste of Erguotou the most. So, following my father's ways, I also drink some. What, are you scared?"

Facing Jiang Yanxi's challenge, Qin Hui's face hardened, but he quickly softened.

"President Qin, please eat. Eat."

Qin Hui couldn't figure out Jiang Yanxi's intentions, so he picked up his chopsticks and started eating. It should be known that Qin Hui had learned from the old Daoist since childhood, so how could such strong liquor possibly be difficult for Qin Hui? Qin Hui simply didn't want to drink it.

Jiang Yanxi seemed to have found Qin Hui's weakness and directly opened the lid of an Erguotou bottle, pouring a large bowl for herself.

"Don't hesitate. If you're a man, drink it. If you don't even dare to drink, don't blame me for looking down on you."

Jiang Yanxi provoked him. Clearly, Jiang Yanxi wanted to see Qin Hui drunk, and then take some photos of him, to see if he would dare to act like a big shot in front of her in the future.

"Are you sure?"

Qin Hui smiled smugly in his heart, waiting for her to jump in.

"What?"

"You dare not?"

After saying that, Jiang Yanxi downed a large bowl, finishing it in one go. Seeing Jiang Yanxi's heroic demeanor, Qin Hui was stunned. This woman's alcohol tolerance was quite good. Qin Hui didn't know that Jiang Yanxi's alcohol tolerance was actually very high. After all, in business, who doesn't drink? Therefore, Jiang Yanxi's alcohol tolerance was considered quite good. Since Jiang Yanxi had finished her bowl, there was no reason for Qin Hui not to. He also downed a bowl. After a bowl of wine, Qin Hui felt a burning sensation in his stomach. Seeing Qin Hui's flushed face, Jiang Yanxi couldn't help but laugh and immediately started on her second bowl. Qin Hui didn't back down either. Soon, the two began to drink against each other. However, after an hour, Jiang Yanxi's face was extremely flushed, and she lay down on the dining table, completely drunk. Originally, Jiang Yanxi wouldn't have drunk so much wine. Firstly, she wanted to get Qin Hui drunk, and secondly, she wanted to release some of the pressure in her heart, which was why she drank so much. Qin Hui, on the other hand, looked calm, still eating fresh king crab. Hmph, trying to outdrink me, you're still too green. As a doctor, Qin Hui naturally had ways to dissipate alcohol, which was why he dared to compete with Jiang Yanxi so recklessly. After eating and drinking his fill, Qin Hui patted his stomach, feeling good about getting a free meal. However, as Qin Hui got up, his gaze involuntarily fell on Jiang Yanxi. Because she was drunk, Jiang Yanxi's face was flushed, making her look incredibly beautiful, like an autumn apple that one wanted to take a bite of. Moving his gaze down, Qin Hui suddenly felt a fire rising within him. Due to her drunkenness, Jiang Yanxi's two black-stockinged beautiful legs were placed directly on the table, and their alluring curves made Qin Hui's mouth water. Oh heavens, are you testing my self-control? If I had known, I wouldn't have competed with Jiang Yanxi in drinking. Losing was embarrassing, and winning meant enduring this. "Hey, wake up." Qin Hui walked to Jiang Yanxi's side and patted her fair and tender cheek. It felt quite good, he had to admit. Originally, Qin Hui was thinking of leaving Jiang Yanxi there for the waiter to handle, and then going home himself. But after thinking about it, he still felt it wasn't safe. Although Qin Hui had good self-control and wouldn't do anything to Jiang Yanxi, others might. Therefore, Qin Hui chose the safest option, which was to send her home. After all, Old Master Jiang and the old Daoist had some connections, and Qin Hui couldn't just abandon Jiang Yanxi.
