Chapter 1364: Unrestrained Teasing

Looking at the empty wine bottles, Qin Yiyan frowned and said, "But you've drunk... a bit too much."

Xu Xiaoxiao was not pleased; with a wave of her hand, she boldly declared, "What do you mean too much! We've only had two bottles each!"

As she spoke, Xu Xiaoxiao actually pulled three more empty wine bottles out from under the table!

At this, Qin Yiyan could no longer remain calm.

He warned Xu Xiaoxiao, "In the future, you are not allowed to encourage Xin'ai to drink!"

Xu Xiaoxiao curled her lips and said nonchalantly, "Men shouldn't meddle in women's business!"

Liu Xin'ai also chimed in with a smile from the side, "That's right, don't meddle!"

At this moment, Liu Xin'ai and Xu Xiaoxiao were already incoherent.

It was impossible to reason with them at all.

Qin Yiyan sighed and didn't continue his lecture, instead leaning over to take Liu Xin'ai back to her room.

But Liu Qingze blocked Qin Yiyan with his body.

He also coaxed Liu Xin'ai softly, "Sister, come home with me."

"Home? Aren't I already at home? Where else would I go back to?"

"I mean the Liu Family."

"This is the Liu Family."

"No, this is the Qin Family."

"I say this is the Liu Family, so it is the Liu Family! Don't you dare talk back!"

Liu Xin'ai began to be unreasonable, leaving Liu Qingze between laughter and tears.

Qin Yiyan spoke up at this moment: "She is drunk, so let her stay the night."

Hmph, I'm afraid if she stays tonight, she won't be able to leave in the future!

But...

Liu Xin'ai was completely unreasonable right now; if he forced her to leave, he was afraid it would make her unhappy.

Sigh, this is difficult!

Liu Qingze irritably ran his hands through his hair.

Then he stared at Qin Yiyan with a suspicious look and asked sharply, "This wouldn't be your scheme, would it?"

Qin Yiyan sneered.

He pointed at the drunkenly acting Xu Xiaoxiao and retorted, "Was this part of my plan too?"

Liu Qingze opened his mouth to speak.

But after thinking about Xu Xiaoxiao's personality...

Fine, this must have been an accident.

And this accident made Liu Xin'ai's eyelids grow heavier and heavier.

At this moment, she desperately wanted to lie down for a while...

Seeing Liu Xin'ai's body leaning forward limply, Qin Yiyan wrapped his arms around her shoulders and scooped her up horizontally.

Seeing this, Liu Qingze wanted to take Liu Xin'ai over.

But Liu Xin'ai's little hands pushed him straight away, not allowing him to come near.

Liu Qingze:...

He really felt like crying but had no tears!

The frustration of being rejected made Liu Qingze's voice sound muffled: "I will come to pick up my sister first thing tomorrow morning!"

"You don't need to come pick her up; if Xin'ai needs anything, I will take her."

Liu Qingze did not like hearing this from Qin Yiyan.

He furrowed his brows and questioned, "What do you mean by 'if she needs anything'? She must go home! And you, don't even think about taking advantage of my sister!!"

Because of his agitation, Liu Qingze's voice was a bit loud.

Then...

It disturbed Liu Xin'ai, who was half-sober and half-drunk.

Due to the effects of the alcohol, Liu Xin'ai was feeling irritable.

Now, with this noise, she became even more irritable; frowning, she scolded, "What are you shouting for? Keep it down!"

Liu Qingze felt very aggrieved at being scolded.

He thought to himself, does he want to shout?

It's just that she, as his sister, is too much of a worry!

Moreover, Liu Qingze had a premonition—

The more arrogant Liu Xin'ai is right now, the more she will die of social embarrassment when she wakes up tomorrow morning!

In short, she will regret it!!

Qin Yiyan, on the other hand, was in a good mood.

He held Liu Xin'ai steadily, arranged for a servant to take Xu Xiaoxiao to the guest room to rest, and finally, with a hint of triumph, said "I won't see you out" to Liu Qingze.

After saying this, Qin Yiyan didn't care about Liu Qingze's reaction; holding Liu Xin'ai, he went upstairs to return to their room.

He walked very steadily.

Liu Xin'ai leaned into his embrace, feeling a great sense of security there.

Only...

Liu Xin'ai's little hands grabbed at the air, but she caught nothing.

This made her anxious at once, and she raised her head to ask, "Where is my wine!?"

"It's all gone."

"That's not right, there was still one bottle left just a moment ago!"

"Oh, then Xu Xiaoxiao must have finished it all."

Qin Yiyan shifted the blame onto Xu Xiaoxiao without a shred of guilt.

As for Liu Xin'ai, she didn't suspect a thing.

She only pouted and complained unhappily, "Seriously, you didn't even leave any for me."

This complaint left Qin Yiyan feeling helpless: "Since your tolerance for alcohol is so poor, you shouldn't always be thinking about drinking."

"Didn't you get drunk before too? Don't go mocking others."

Liu Xin'ai's counterattack left Qin Yiyan speechless.

After a few seconds of silence, he said, "That's different."

Being truly drunk and pretending to be drunk are indeed different.

Clearly, Liu Xin'ai's situation was more of a headache.

After sending Liu Xin'ai back to her room, Qin Yiyan wanted to have a servant come and take care of her.

But Liu Xin'ai directly requested of him, "I want to take a bath, help me run the hot water."

"Mm, okay."

"While you're at it, help me bathe too."

Liu Xin'ai's tone was very calm.

It was as if she wasn't talking about taking a bath, but eating a date.

But Qin Yiyan could not remain calm!

He knew Liu Xin'ai was drunk, that she had no logic at the moment, and had no idea what the implications of that sentence were.

But...

Even if he knew everything, Qin Yiyan still couldn't control his own heartbeat!

The look in his eyes as he gazed at Liu Xin'ai gradually deepened!

Even his voice became very low and hoarse: "Are you sure?"

"It's just a bath, what's there to be unsure about? Or are you unwilling?"

"I'm worried that you're the one who isn't willing."

"Why wouldn't I be happy to have someone help me bathe? I'm willing!"

Liu Xin'ai had no idea what a dangerous suggestion she had just made.

Precisely because she didn't know, Liu Xin'ai even started taking off her clothes without the slightest reservation!

Qin Yiyan panicked instantly and quickly looked away.

But then, on second thought...

They were husband and wife, so taking a look... it wouldn't matter.

Qin Yiyan took a deep breath and was about to look openly.

But all he saw was a tightly closed bathroom door.

Bang—

Liu Xin'ai's movements while undressing were truly fast.

The speed at which she closed the door was also very fast!

But what about the promised help with the bath?

Did she change her mind so quickly?

Or...

Was she just saying it casually?

At this moment, Qin Yiyan felt a bit disappointed and also a bit annoyed.

Inside the bathroom, the sound of water was soon heard.

Qin Yiyan had intended to leave.

But he was worried that Liu Xin'ai might have weak legs from the alcohol and fall inside, so he kept waiting outside.

Fortunately, nothing happened inside; Liu Xin'ai finished her shower and walked out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe.

Her hair hung damply over her shoulders.

Worried she would catch a cold, Qin Yiyan hurriedly used a towel to help her dry it.

Having bathed, Liu Xin'ai was a bit more sober, and as Qin Yiyan helped her dry her hair, she sat there obediently.

However, the bathrobe was a bit large, and the overlapping collar slowly slid down as Qin Yiyan moved to dry her hair.

Moreover, from Qin Yiyan's position... he could see exactly what was there.

That beautiful sight made Qin Yiyan, who was already restless, feel his blood surging even more.

Qin Yiyan hesitated for a moment, then decided to pull the collar back up.

Li Beijue's expression sank in an instant, his deep eyes seemingly able to suck a person in, carrying an unquestionable sense of oppression.
