Chapter 272: Chapter 271 Where Did You Go? (7)

Shi Che’s eyebrows arched slightly, and his expression remained unchanged as he spoke in his usual indifferent tone, "So?"

"So... of course, tonight, you’re joining me for drinks. We won’t stop until we’re completely drunk," Ji Xinxin’s voice slowed, drawing out her words slightly. "But, if you’re unwilling, no worries—I’ll just have Xiaxia drink with me. Whatever I drink, Xiaxia will drink double. After all, she married so early, breaking the promise between us three."

As Ji Xinxin spoke, her sidelong glance at Shi Che was full of provocation. After all, no man would likely step back and let his woman drink instead, right?

As expected, Shi Che furrowed his brows lightly and then looked towards Ji Xinxin. His thin lips parted slightly, "Okay."

Ji Xinxin hooked her lips upward and reached a hand behind her back, flashing a V-sign victory gesture towards Ling Chuxia without anyone noticing. Ling Chuxia stole a glance at Ji Xinxin and couldn’t help but drop her gaze, hiding a smile.

Without any hesitation, Ji Xinxin waved her hand grandly, summoning the waiter to bring various types of alcohol, which she then began mixing together.

Shen Qian stared with wide eyes at Ji Xinxin’s pouring antics and couldn’t help but blurt out, "What exactly are you trying to do?"

Ji Xinxin spared Shen Qian a glance and coldly said, "It’s none of your business off you go!"

After mixing all the drinks together, Ji Xinxin grabbed a bottle, poured three cups, and pushed them towards Shi Che, "Before we start, drink these three cups as a penalty. Consider it for marrying Xiaxia so silently."

Shi Che glanced at the three cups placed in front of him, showed no objection, picked them up, and drank them one by one.

Ji Xinxin laughed softly, pleased, and nodded, "Not bad, from here, let’s take it slow."

With that, Ji Xinxin directly picked up a cup of drink, gestured to Shi Che who also picked up a cup, and the two clinked their glasses symbolically before downing the contents in one go.

Ling Chuxia watched from the side, rather astounded. Honestly, she had not expected Shi Che to agree so readily to drink, especially since Ji Xinxin had blatantly mixed various drinks together with clearly no good intentions, yet he drank without any change in expression, one cup after another.

He was clearly giving a lot of face to Ji Xinxin.

Why though?

Was it because Ji Xinxin was the fiancée of his good brother, Shen Qian? Was that why he was giving her face? Or... because Ji Xinxin was her good friend?

The moment Ling Chuxia thought of the latter possibility, she instinctively shook her head. What was she thinking... Shi Che liked someone else, not her. Why would he give Ji Xinxin face for her sake?

It must be because Ji Xinxin was Shen Qian’s fiancée, that’s why he was giving her face.

But for some reason, even though she understood all this clearly, her heart still flickered with a hint of disappointment. However, that flicker of disappointment disappeared so quickly that she hardly noticed it herself.

Ji Xinxin was known for her high tolerance for alcohol, but Shi Che’s capacity was a mystery; Ji Xinxin had initially thought a few bottles would bring him down. However, as she became flushed and tipsy, Shi Che merely showed a trace of drunkenness in his eyes.

Having been in the entertainment industry for years and seldom meeting her match, she did not expect to hit an iron wall with Shi Che. Her competitive spirit surged up, and with a chuckle, she called out, "Continue!"

Shi Che chuckled indifferently, "Okay."
