Chapter 1603: I'm Really Drunk

"Right, right, right! Sister-in-law is right!"

Under Hearing Hearing Li Ang's skeptical gaze, Melanie, who had secretly breathed a sigh of relief, couldn't help but nod her little head repeatedly and agree seriously:

"I am just such a genius! So I didn't sell out big brother at all. The reason I accepted sister-in-law's bribery was just for big brother's family harmony. There is absolutely no selfishness in this... or if there is, it's not much!"

"..."

If you hadn't added that sentence, I might have actually believed it...

Looking at Melanie, whose eyes were rolling around and didn't know what kind of ghost ideas she was playing again, Hearing Hearing Li Ang couldn't help but shake his head and ask helplessly:

"Where did Anna go? Why isn't she at home?"

She escaped!

Seeing Hearing Hearing Li Ang take the initiative to change the subject and knowing that her butt didn't have to suffer, Melanie couldn't help but feel happy in her heart, and then hurriedly answered:

"Sister Anna went to work! After the poorhouse behind opened, she went there to work and receive a salary. Whenever William and I go to school, she goes there to help.

Originally, she didn't have to work today, but I don't know what happened over there. A lot of old grandpas and grandmas with white hair came all at once, and even the corridor was crowded. There weren't enough people, so sister Anna could only go to help first."

"And then I came over."

After Melanie finished speaking, Veronica added warmly:

"William hasn't been feeling well these past two days, so Anna asked my female official to help look after William. And I happened to be free today, so after sending some people to help at the poorhouse, I came over with the doctor to take a look."

"William isn't feeling well?"

"Don't worry, it's just a slight low fever."

After looking at Hearing Hearing Li Ang's slightly worried expression, Veronica explained softly:

"Children have weak constitutions, he likely caught a cold at night or something. After drinking two small bottles of alchemy supplements, the child has already broken his fever and has just fallen into a deep sleep in the inner room."

"I see..."

It seems William should just have a very ordinary cold; otherwise, Anna would definitely not be able to rest her heart and would definitely have come back to look after him herself.

Checking the inner room with the Black Goat's soul vision and confirming that William's soul was not abnormal and he was just sleeping normally, Hearing Hearing Li Ang completely let go of his heart.

And just as he turned his head to look at Melanie, wanting to ask again what had happened in the days he had been away from home, Veronica's eyebrows frowned slightly, and she leaned over to sniff him lightly.

"What's wrong?"

Following suit, he lifted his own arm and sniffed, confirming there was no strange smell, Hearing Hearing Li Ang couldn't help but ask strangely:

"Is there any strange smell on me?"

"It's not strange, it even smells quite good..."

After sniffing lightly twice more, Veronica frowned:

"Hearing Hearing Li Ang? Did you drink before you came back?"

"..."

I didn't drink... but I did swallow a bead of the Wine God...

"I suppose I drank a little."

After nodding and answering vaguely, recalling the process of fighting for the Wine-Soaked Bead with the Bureau Chief and then swallowing it whole, Hearing Hearing Li Ang couldn't help but exhale toward his hand and sniff it, then said quite helplessly:

"I went to the Bureau before I came back and accidentally drank a large mouthful... Is the smell very obvious?"

"It's not very obvious... but the kick is a bit strong..."

Unable to help but sniff lightly again, Veronica's cheeks couldn't help but flush with a faint blush, and then she blinked her eyes and said with a puzzled expression:

"I only sniffed it twice, but it's like I drank half a bottle of strong liquor, it's a bit... hmm... Melanie? Melanie?"

"Ah?"

After being called twice, Melanie reacted. She looked up with her flushed little face, half-opening her eyes:

"Big brother... I... I'm a bit dizzy..."

"..."

Alcohol smell? Dizzy? Could it be...

Looking at the dizzy big and small ones in front of him, Hearing Hearing Li Ang, who had reacted, couldn't help but hiss. He hurriedly touched the back of his hand with the tip of his tongue, and then a mellow and spicy alcohol smell rushed straight to his forehead along with the taste buds on the tip of his tongue. Bad, I seem to have been soaked in that bead!

Standing up and moving further away to leave some space, looking at Melanie, whose eyelids were starting to fight, Hearing Hearing Li Ang couldn't help but reach out and scratch the back of his head, and then he could only carry her to his room, letting her sleep for a while to sober up.

When Hearing Hearing Li Ang came out of the room, Veronica, who had guessed some of the situation, also started to instruct the two female officials with drunken eyes to help take care of the two sleeping children.

And after the two female officials left the living room and entered their respective rooms to take care of the two children, Queen Veronica, whose neck was also flushed with a thin layer of red, stood up and held his palm, looking over with eyes like water.

"Hearing Hearing Li Ang~"

"Stop!"

Feeling that the atmosphere seemed a bit wrong and was vaguely developing in a strange direction, Hearing Hearing Li Ang hurriedly tilted his head back, withdrew his hand, and reminded:

"My situation is not right now, you stay away from me first."

"Good, I'll listen to you~"

After blinking her bright eyes, Veronica stepped back a bit, then wrinkled her nose and sniffed the suddenly much richer alcohol smell in the room, and then said with a smile:

"Hearing Hearing Li Ang, why don't we change to another place? The alcohol smell on you is getting heavier and heavier. If you continue to stay here, even if they are separated by a door, they will likely be smoked down by you."

(Content omitted for brevity)

"..."

"Let's go, I'm really about to be drunk."

Using the back of her hand to touch her hot cheeks, Veronica, whose eyes were becoming more and more watery, said:

"I haven't seen you for several months, I have a lot of things I want to say to you, and I don't want to be drunk just like this... Hearing Hearing Li Ang, take me to a ventilated place, let me blow the wind and sober up... how about my balcony?"

"Good..."

After checking the souls of the two little brats and the two female officials at home and confirming that there would be no problems, Hearing Hearing Li Ang, worried about the continued leakage of alcohol smell, had to accept Veronica's suggestion. He entered the Mirror World from the polished doorknob and traveled all the way toward the palace.

"Hmm... this is much better."

After being carried out of the window by Hearing Hearing Li Ang and placed on the rattan chair on the balcony, Veronica, whose face was even more flushed, couldn't help but tease:

"As expected of the man I chose, just being held by you almost made me drunk."

"..."

You are almost drunk, I am really drunk...

Bringing the back of his hand close to his nose and sniffing the alcohol smell that was already surging like waves, Hearing Hearing Li Ang couldn't help but curse his bad luck in his heart, and then sighed and explained his situation.

"So you accidentally swallowed the Wine God's bead, which is why there is a constant leakage of alcohol smell from your body?"

After listening to Hearing Hearing Li Ang's explanation seriously, Veronica, whose eyes were half-open and half-closed, nodded and said with a smile:

"If you say so, then I should have also accidentally swallowed a bead... Hearing Hearing Li Ang~ did you smell the smell emanating from me?"

"Ah? What smell?"

"The smell of missing you."

"..."

Hmm? This smell is...

Just as Hearing Hearing Li Ang was numb all over from the sudden earthy love words and was trying his best to win, Anna, who had rushed home in a hurry, happened to reach out and push open the door, only to be hit by the sky-high alcohol smell inside and tilt her head back.

And after opening the door of Hearing Hearing Li Ang's bedroom, which was slightly ajar, in doubt, and seeing Melanie lying on the bed with her limbs spread out, sleeping soundly with a flushed little face, Anna's face couldn't help but turn black.

"Melanie!!!"
