Chapter 378: Dutch courage

Startled, Nian Xiaomu was about to return to her room when she saw Yu Yuehan, who was sitting on the sofa, hold up a glass of red wine and empty the contents in one shot!

Then, he placed the glass down with a loud bang against the table top.

Nian Xiaomu stopped in her tracks immediately!

She had a feeling that if she were to walk away just like that, he would surely smash the wine glass in the next second.

Nian Xiaomu’s eyes widened with caution, and she walked over to the cabinet to get herself a wine glass before sitting down on the sofa opposite Yu Yuehan.

Without waiting for his response, she poured a glass of red wine for herself.

“Young Master, it must be boring to drink by yourself. Why don’t I drink with you?” Nian Xiaomu clinked her glass with his as she spoke. Then, she emptied her glass before he could reject her offer.

When she was done, she realized that Yu Yuehan was sitting still and simply staring at her coldly.

Still angry with her?

“How about I punish myself with a glass first?” Yu Yuehan finally responded when she said that.

However, instead of asking her not to drink like he usually would, he picked up the bottle and filled the glass to the brim.

Nian Xiaomu had always loved red wine.

Yu Yuehan’s collection of red wine was rich, and this one’s flavor was exceptionally good.

Once she started drinking, she could hardly stop herself.

In the end, Yu Yuehan did not pour any for her, but she helped herself to more glasses of red wine…

She had even forgotten to toast Yu Yuehan, and only drank on her own.

When the alcohol kicked in, her little face flushed red.

Straightening her body, she sat up on the sofa. Like a teacher who was about to reprimand a student, she pouted as she exclaimed, “I’m going to be drunk. Are you still… still angry?”

After that, she let out a hiccup.

Her animated eyes looked a little silly at this moment.

Then, she sprawled lazily onto the sofa. Unbothered by the fact that Yu Yuehan was still sitting in front of her, she reached out for a cushion and started jabbing it in her arms.

It was as if she was using the cushion as a punching bag for Yu Yuehan.

Yu Yuehan looked at her and pursed his lips.

While he was swirling the red wine in his hand, he had not drunk it yet.

Compared to Nian Xiaomu, who was already in a daze, Yu Yuehan was very alert since he had hardly drank any.

Putting his glass onto the coffee table, he proceeded to stand up, but Nian Xiaomu, who was on the sofa too, crawled up first.

Then, she hollered, “Don’t you move!”

“…”

“I’ve been trying to appease you the entire night! You can’t leave unless you stop being mad at me!”

What Dutch courage she had.

Nian Xiaomu was already a fearless girl to begin with. Now that she was intoxicated, she had become even bolder.

Flinging away the cushion in her arms, she stumbled toward Yu Yuehan and reached out to grab at his clothes.

Then, she threw herself at him and clung onto him like a koala.

A second ago, she was still acting ferocious and all. The very next second, she was pouting her lips pitifully.

“Yu Yuehan, you cannot be like this when you’re in love. If you always make your goddess coax you, you will lose your goddess…”

As soon as she finished speaking, her beautiful eyes blinked and sparkled with tears.

At first, her eyes were red from drinking too much. However, the look in her eyes was more gentle than before, as if she had been bullied badly by him.

Seeing that he was still keeping silent, she dug her little head into his chest like Xiao Liuliu would when she was trying to show her affection toward her father.

As her hairy head rubbed against his chest, rather than appeased, Yu Yuehan only got more riled up.

His gaze became even deeper, and a streak of dangerous light flashed past his eyes…

He stood still, allowing her to cling onto him and do whatever she wanted with him.

Seeing her disappointed face, he uttered, “This is what you call coaxing?”

As soon as he spoke out, Nian Xiaomu’s eye lit up!

He was finally talking to her!

She had been trying to appease him all this time, yet he did not feel a thing?

Could it be because she had not kissed him?
