Chapter 261: Seemingly Calm
Chapter Two Hundred and Sixty-One: Seemingly Calm （）
Peng Lele sat next to Xia Yang and picked up his wine glass, saying, “Drinking alone and brooding is not as good as two people speaking their minds!”
A smile curved Xia Yang’s lips. “That’s true. Drinking alone to drown sorrows only makes them deeper, while two people might end up making mistakes!”
Peng Lele understood the hidden meaning in Xia Yang’s words, and her face involuntarily flushed. She then shyly looked at Xia Yang and said, “Although I have some thoughts about you, Mr. Xia, it’s not to the point of making mistakes!”
Xia Yang reached out and pressed a button on the table. A waiter immediately walked over and respectfully asked, “Hello, is there anything you need?”
Xia Yang glanced at Peng Lele, a smile playing on his lips, and said to the waiter, “Another bottle of whiskey, and one more glass!”
The waiter respectfully went to fetch the wine. Before long, Peng Lele and Xia Yang were clinking glasses and drinking heartily!
Both were drinking with their own thoughts in mind. One glass after another went down. By the time Peng Lele was a little tipsy, Xia Yang’s face also had a slight flush, but he wasn’t drunk yet.
Xia Yang’s fingers gripped his wine glass, and his eyes, hazy with drink, looked at Peng Lele and asked, “Miss Peng, do you have a habit of going to bars?!”
Peng Lele smiled inwardly. Xia Yang had finally asked her this. She wouldn’t tell him that she had specifically asked someone else before following him here. She put on a smile and pretended to be slightly drunk, saying, “Mr. Xia, what kind of answer do you want to hear? Yes or no?”
Xia Yang laughed at her retort. “The answer is definitely no, because no woman who goes to bars dresses like a mummy!”
Peng Lele looked down at her clothes, and an awkward smile instantly spread across her face. Xia Yang was indeed observant. He noticed even this. She had left in such a hurry that she hadn’t had time to change out of her home clothes of jeans and a t-shirt!
Peng Lele took a swig of wine haphazardly and said, “Mr. Xia has sharp eyes. You saw through me!”
Xia Yang gazed at Peng Lele, her ponytail tied up, wearing a white t-shirt and blue jeans, and fell into a daze. Five years ago, Qing Tian had appeared in his sight with the same fresh look. Heh heh~~~ How fitting, how reminiscent of the past!!
Xia Yang’s mood instantly turned very dejected. He poured himself a full glass of wine and raised it to Peng Lele, saying, “You drink less, I’ll finish this. If I get drunk later, help me call a car!”
Peng Lele didn’t know what she had done to upset Xia Yang again. She looked at his tense face, her heart aching as if being torn apart. Why could he never see her? Why?
With a deep sigh, she raised her wine glass and also drank fiercely. Time ticked by, and she didn’t know how much she had drunk. In any case, both of them were pretty much lost. Xia Yang leaned back on the sofa and picked up his mobile phone to call Bruce, but Peng Lele snatched the phone away and, in a drunken fit, said, “Come on, drink more, drink more!”
Xia Yang felt dizzy, looking at the swaying Peng Lele in front of him. His head hurt even more, so he had no choice but to give up trying to get his phone back!
Peng Lele saw things in front of her start to blur. She shook her head, trying to sober up, but it was all in vain. She had no choice but to pick up the wine bottle and try to pour wine into her glass, but ended up spilling it all over the floor.
Such good wine, such expensive wine, was wasted like this.
Peng Lele suddenly burst into tears and accused Xia Yang, saying, “Why is even the wine bullying me? Why~~~”
Xia Yang watched Peng Lele cry, his eyes open. Qing Tian’s crying face suddenly flashed in his mind, and he felt very uncomfortable. Ever since she returned to Ji Xiangyu’s side, Qing Tian no longer needed him. Seeing her look sad, his heart ached. Seeing her look happy, his heart ached even more!
