Chapter 381: The Way You Look When You're Drunk, So Sweet

Half an hour later—

A bottle of red wine was successfully finished by the two of them.

Li Xiao held his wine glass, sipping the wine unhurriedly; he had drunk less than a third in total.

The rest was naturally all finished by someone who didn't understand wine.

"Cai Xiaotang, are you drunk?"

Li Xiao looked at the flushed woman in front of him with amusement.

Upon hearing this, Cai Xiaotang, as if in slow motion, turned her head slowly and looked at him with dull eyes.

Then, she shook her head like a rattle and answered loudly: "No!"

Li Xiao:... Very well, she is already drunk.

The alcohol content and vintage of the wine here were not low; with the way she was drinking, it would be strange if she weren't drunk!

"You... why are you swaying! Be still! Stand still and don't move! I... I'm dizzy..."

Cai Xiaotang was muddled; she suddenly grabbed Li Xiao's sleeve and pointed her finger at... the air beside him.

Li Xiao's expression was complex; he suddenly felt some regret for letting someone drink so much wine just now.

"Shall we go home? I'll take you back."

Li Xiao amusedly scooped her up and let her lean against his shoulder.

Cai Xiaotang continued to nod like a pestle pounding garlic, muttering softly: "Go... go home... I... I haven't washed the dishes yet..."

She dreamed of returning to her small apartment, the night the power went out at home.

The rice bowl she had eaten from was still lying on the dining table.

Li Xiao was taken aback, then replied with amusement: "Wash the dishes? How come I didn't know you had an interest in being a nanny? If you like, tomorrow I'll have the kitchen leave all the bowls and chopsticks for you to wash..."

Upon hearing this, Cai Xiaotang suddenly raised her head and hit his shoulder hard with her hand.

"I... who are you? Why... why should I... wash dishes for you? If they are to be washed, it should be you... you for me..."

"I don't know how to wash dishes..." Li Xiao responded to her words while laboriously helping her into the elevator, pressing the button for the underground parking garage floor directly.

Having walked only a few dozen meters, he was already exhausted.

Had he known this woman would be like this after getting drunk, he wouldn't have brought trouble upon himself!

He was just thinking this, when the next second—

"I... I'm going to fall!"

Cai Xiaotang suddenly struggled violently, looking at the scenery rapidly descending outside the sightseeing elevator with a look of terror.

Then, she suddenly covered her mouth.

Li Xiao immediately raised his hand to stop her: "Hey! Don't you dare vomit..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he felt a sudden warmth on his chest.

He, the Li Family Third Young Master, the dignified leader of the Dark Gate, experienced for the first time in his life what it meant to be "at his wit's end."

Li Xiao was stunned for a long while before coming to his senses; he hurriedly took off his suit jacket and held it in his hand with disgust.

Fortunately, the shirt underneath was not affected.

And the culprit had long since leaned far away to the other side of the elevator.

"Ah... much more comfortable..."

Cai Xiaotang muttered softly, then suddenly wrinkled her nose and sniffed, saying to Li Xiao with a look of disgust: "Can you go out... your body... smells so bad..."

Li Xiao:...

Go out?

Did she want him to jump out of the elevator that was currently descending?

She had the nerve to be disgusted by the smell on him!

She didn't even think about who caused it!

Li Xiao looked at the rapidly descending numbers on the elevator panel, feeling physically and mentally exhausted.

He swore he would never let Cai Xiaotang drink so much wine again!

The elevator finally reached the parking garage, and Li Xiao spent another twenty minutes pushing and coaxing before finally getting the disobedient drunk into the car.

"Drive, hurry back to the villa!"

As soon as he got in the car, Li Xiao spoke quickly, just wanting to settle the drunk beside him back into her room at the villa as soon as possible.

Then, seeing Cai Xiaotang frowning slightly in discomfort, he suddenly changed his tone: "Better drive slower, try to be as steady as possible."

"Yes, Third Young Master." The driver responded and slowed the car down.

The car drove steadily—

As soon as she got in the car, Cai Xiaotang immediately fell into a deep sleep, completely losing the unruly behavior she had in the elevator.

Only then did Li Xiao let out a long sigh of relief, leaning back against the seat in exhaustion.

Yet, his eyes couldn't help but size up Cai Xiaotang's face.

From the first time they met, he had felt that the person in front of him was very good-looking.

Although she looked cute, the corners of her eyes and brows were full of defiance, making one want to tease her.

"Mm..."

The person in her sleep suddenly let out a murmur, pulling back Li Xiao's attention.

The next second, a weight suddenly landed on his shoulder.

Li Xiao:...

Could she not be still for more than five minutes!

Li Xiao looked at the car roof speechlessly, letting the dead-drunk person nuzzle against him for a long time before finding a suitable position and finally becoming quiet.

Then, after settling down for less than a second, she started moving again.

Cai Xiaotang fumbled around for a long time, then suddenly grabbed Li Xiao's hand and pulled it toward her own waist!

Li Xiao's brow twitched violently.

Was she... this bold after getting drunk?

Just as Li Xiao was thinking this, the next second he heard Cai Xiaotang mumble softly in his ear: "Mommy..."

Li Xiao's entire body suddenly stiffened.

She actually thought of him as... Mommy?

With a complex expression, Li Xiao simply closed his eyes.

Fortunately, the drunkard beside him didn't continue to make a fuss, and the two returned to the villa, but Cai Xiaotang had already fallen into a deep, unconscious sleep.

"Cai Xiaotang? Xiao Tang?"

Li Xiao gently shook the shoulders of the person in his arms, his face full of helplessness.

After calling out for a long time, the other party showed no sign of waking up, so he had no choice but to resign himself to his fate, scoop her up horizontally, and carry her all the way to Cai Xiaotang's room.

However, as he entered the door, he accidentally bumped into the door frame.

"Ugh..."

The necklace on Cai Xiaotang's neck was tugged slightly, making her feel uncomfortable, and she slowly opened her eyes.

Sensing that she seemed to be moving, her expression was somewhat puzzled.

Only then did she clearly see the person in front of her.

"Li Xiao...?"

Her tone was somewhat confused, but she didn't have much objection to being held by someone.

Instead, she tugged at the necklace on her neck and, as if suddenly remembering something, said: "The necklace... is too expensive... I don't want it... you... I'll return it to you..."

Cai Xiaotang was dazed and only remembered that she was wearing a very expensive necklace around her neck.

Hearing this, Li Xiao couldn't help but want to tease her again, so he deliberately replied: "I never said I was giving it to you in the first place; such a valuable necklace, of course, has to be returned to me."

No sooner had he finished speaking than he felt the person in his arms suddenly go quiet for a moment.

While speaking, the two had already reached the bedside.

A hint of a smile flashed in Li Xiao's eyes as he carefully placed her onto the bed.

The next second, he saw Cai Xiaotang suddenly pull the quilt open and wrap herself up tightly!

She shouted loudly: "You... you said return it, so... I'll return it! I... I won't! This is mine!"

Li Xiao felt helpless and couldn't help but laugh.

This woman was quite interesting!
