Chapter 787: Chapter 787: Miss Xia Invites, I Pay the Bill (1)_1

Han Jingnian watched Xia Wan’an raising a glass and after a while, he picked up another glass of wine. Lifting it slightly, he put it to his lips and savoured half a glass.

His gaze never left her as she took a sip from her own glass, she drank slowly, one sip at a time.

Xia Wan’an never drank in public...unless it was an exception.

She could hold her own with beer, but if she drank other liquors, she would get drunk easily...The most important thing was, drunk Xia Wan’an would go wild. And her wild drunk was extraordinarily unique, that is, taking off clothes. She would primarily target handsome men to undress, and if she couldn’t find one, she would undress herself!

But the woman before him was drinking, and she was drinking smoothly...like a seasoned drinker.

In Han Jingnian’s contemplation, Xia Wan’an put the half-drunk glass of wine on the table.

She ate some snacks brought over from the bar and then picked up the wine glass again.

In this way, Han Jingnian and Xia Wan’an took some sips of wine. Unconsciously, half of the wine in the bottle had already entered their stomachs.

Han Jingnian’s tolerance had always been good. He was his usual self. What surprised him was that this girl called Xia Wanwan seemed to be fine as well.

The alcohol content of Western wine was much higher than that of beer. According to his understanding of Xia Wan’an’s tolerance, the alcohol that had entered Xia Wanwan’s belly would have been enough to get Xia Wan’an drunk...

If they were really the same person, the car driving could be learnt, and the behaviour at home could be faked, but the inherent tolerance to alcohol, that was difficult to change. Even if it could be modified by external factors, it was unlikely to have changed this much in three months...

Could it be... the woman before him was not her?

The fingertips of Han Jingnian’s hand clutching the glass, jerked. Then he poured wine for the two of them again.

Half an hour later, the Western wine was finished, and it was getting late. Xia Wan’an proposed to end it: "Mr. Han, it’s getting late. I need to sleep for my beauty rest, so I’m going to head downstairs."

Han Jingnian didn’t stop Xia Wan’an, he nodded slightly, then raised his hand to call the waiter to pay the bill.

"Mr. Han, I’m supposed to be treating you, so this bill should be mine..."

Before Xia Wan’an could finish, Han Jingnian had already signalled the waiter to charge it to his room and signed for it. "Miss Xia is hosting, and I’m paying, that’s fair."

"Okay then, thank you, Mr. Han. I’m leaving first, goodbye." Xia Wan’an waved her hand, preparing to leave.

Just as she was about to take a step, Han Jingnian also began talking. However, he wasn’t speaking to her, but making a phone call: "Zhang Cheng, send a car to the Four Seasons Hotel to pick me up... Be quick, it’s almost 11 o’clock. I want to be home before 11..."

This single sentence caused a jolt to go through Xia Wan’an’s spine, but she didn’t turn back, maintaining her steady pace, leaving the bar step by step under Han Jingnian’s gaze.

Not until she got into the elevator did Xia Wan’an lean against the wall, completely drained, letting go of all her pretences.

She drank on purpose, because the Xia Wan’an in Han Jingnian’s awareness would never drink that much in such a public place... Her goal was simple, to dispel the doubts of Han Jingnian.

However, those sobering pills didn’t seem to be very effective... She was feeling slightly dizzy now...
