Chapter 584

Su Xinghui silently poured another half glass of wine for Xue Qin and said, "What is his name?"

Xue Qin said, "His name is Chen Ping'an; he is the son of my father's old colleague."

Chen Ping'an? Su Xinghui still had some impression of this name. In his past life, he was Xue Qin's husband. Unexpectedly, in this life, after going around in circles, the two had come together again.

Chen Ping'an was an honest and reliable man who worked at the Power Bureau. In this era, the Power Bureau was a very popular unit with high salaries and good benefits. In his past life, his life with Xue Qin was quite good. They bought a private car around the year 2000, which was quite the envy of their classmates at that time.

It seems that the two of them still had some fate.

When he first heard that Xue Qin went on a blind date, Su Xinghui was still worried for her, fearing that the person she went on a blind date with would not be suitable. Now that he heard it was her husband from her past life, he felt relieved, and his heart seemed to feel a bit more relaxed.

He just wanted to raise his glass to toast Xue Qin, but when he saw Xue Qin's appearance, he gave up the idea.

Xue Qin sat with her chin in her hands again, lost in thought. After a while, she said faintly, "Xinghui, I originally didn't want to go on a blind date, but after the New Year, I'll be twenty-four. My parents urge me every day, urge me every day, and you don't like me, you don't like me!"

Speaking of this, Xue Qin was already in tears. She picked up the glass of wine herself, drank it in one gulp, and then went to get the bottle herself, wanting to pour more wine.

Su Xinghui stopped her and said, "Don't drink anymore. Come, I'll take you back."

Xue Qin struggled, "I'm not going back, I want to drink."

Su Xinghui said, "Xue Qin, stop making a scene. Come, let's go back."

Xue Qin was a woman after all and couldn't outmatch Su Xinghui. She was pulled out of the private room by Su Xinghui. Su Xinghui said to Zhang Pangzi's wife, "Sister-in-law, keep the tab for me; I'll come settle it tomorrow."

Zhang Pangzi's wife nodded, "No problem, Township Head Su. You go ahead."

Su Xinghui pulled Xue Qin all the way to the Tax Office. Along the way, Xue Qin was still struggling. Fortunately, it was November, and it got dark early. Rural people generally wouldn't wander the streets after dark, so no one saw their embarrassed state. Su Xinghui successfully pulled Xue Qin back to the Tax Office.

As soon as Su Xinghui knocked on the door, the girl from the Tax Office, Tang Yu, ran out to open it. When she saw Xue Qin's state, she said in surprise, "Director Xue, what happened to you?"

Su Xinghui said, "She drank some wine today and had a bit too much."

Su Xinghui helped Xue Qin into the courtyard, had Tang Yu find the room key on her, opened her room, and then helped her into the room and let her lie on the bed.

Tang Yu was very quick-witted and went to get a basin of hot water, let Xue Qin wash her face, and brought the honey from her own room to mix a cup of honey water for Xue Qin. After Su Xinghui thanked her, he fed the honey water to Xue Qin.

Honey is quite effective for sobering up. After the honey water was fed to Xue Qin, she didn't feel as uncomfortable.

Su Xinghui put Xue Qin's head back on the pillow, covered her with a quilt, and was about to get up to pour out the dirty water, but Xue Qin reached out and grabbed his lapel, saying, "Xinghui, don't go."

Su Xinghui could only sit back down on the chair by her bed and said, "Okay, I won't go."

Tang Yu covered her mouth and laughed, helped pour out the basin of water, and then washed the basin clean and brought it back for Xue Qin. She said, "Township Head Su, call me if you need anything."

After saying that, she went out, and after going out, she closed the door behind her.

Su Xinghui sat for a while, and Xue Qin opened her eyes. Her gaze was a bit blurry, but when she saw Su Xinghui, a look of surprise appeared on her face, and she said, "Xinghui, you're here."

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Yes, I'm here. You rest."

Xue Qin gripped Su Xinghui's hand tightly, her face full of sweetness. After a while, the alcohol hit her again, and her spirit became a bit dazed. She murmured, "Xinghui, I really like you so much, do you know that?"

It would be a lie to say that Xue Qin's words didn't move Su Xinghui at all. Thinking of everything this girl had done for him, his gaze toward Xue Qin also became a bit gentle. He almost had the impulse to hold this girl in his arms.

However, this could only be a thought. Su Xinghui tried hard to suppress his impulse. He knew that Xue Qin had no resistance to him at all, and if he were to hold her, it would only harm both of them.

Xue Qin was undoubtedly a good girl, but Su Xinghui had never had that feeling for her. Although Xue Qin was a year older than him, in this life, he had always regarded Xue Qin as his younger sister.

That Chen Ping'an was truly a good match for Xue Qin. He hoped Xue Qin could live happily with him.

Xue Qin murmured for a while and slowly fell asleep. After she was fast asleep, Su Xinghui slowly pulled his hand out. It took some effort to pull his hand out, so one could imagine how hard Xue Qin was gripping his hand.

Su Xinghui stared at Xue Qin for a while, then got up, opened the door, and went to knock gently on Tang Yu's door. Tang Yu said from inside the room, "Is that Township Head Su?"

Su Xinghui responded, and Tang Yu opened the door and asked, "Do you need my help?"
