Chapter 299: Chapter 300 A Bit Drunk

"You’ll get drunk," he warned.

"I don’t care, I want to drink!" she insisted.

Having already had some wine at the Duke Residence earlier, and now another glass, the flush of alcohol on her cheeks grew deeper, softening her tone with a rare streak of capricious coquettishness.

Unable to resist her, he reluctantly poured her another half cup.

Within moments, she had finished it.

"More!" she demanded.

She held out her cup, gently licking the wine stains from her lips, her face expressing an insatiable craving.

"You can’t drink anymore."

"Just one last cup!"

"No!"

"Just one more cup!" She tugged at his sleeve. "Dear Duke, could you pour me one more cup, please?"

With those words, "Dear Duke," his resolve crumbled, and her cup was filled with wine again.

After slowly savoring the wine in her cup, she reached for the small bag she had brought earlier, pulled out the player, inserted the earbuds into her ears, turned it on, and stood up to approach him. She bent down to support his chin, placing one of the earbuds into his ear.

Then, with a slight lift of her skirt, she bowed elegantly and playfully at him.

"Prince, may I have this dance with you?"

Music started playing from the earbuds, a familiar melody that he knew by heart. At the first note, he recognized it as the song they had danced to six years ago that evening.

He took her hand and Huangfu Jue stood up.

"I am honored."

She laughed, resting her hand on his shoulder, and holding her waist, he led her into a graceful dance.

Around them, the serenity was profound, with music resonating only in the ears of the two.

She looked at him, and he looked back at her, both dancing in sync to the beat, just like that night six years ago.

When the music ended, it looped back to the start, and they continued to dance to the rhythm.

Unnoticed, the day faded into the west.

The warmth of the wine colored her cheeks red, and her steps began dragging slightly, her high heels striking a small stone. Gan Yuan swayed ever so slightly, and the man quickly wrapped his arms around her. She then raised her arms to grasp his neck.

"I think I’m... a little drunk!"

"Shall I take you downstairs to rest?"

"No!" Wrapping her arms tightly around him, she looked up at him and moved in to kiss his handsome chin. "I want to keep dancing, until it gets dark, until tomorrow... until forever!"

She was clearly inebriated, her enunciation slightly slurred, yet he heard every word crystal clear.

Supporting her waist with both hands, Huangfu Jue gently lifted her off the ground.

"Step on my feet."

Without any hesitation, she slipped off her uncomfortable high heels and stepped barefoot onto his feet.

His shoes, made of soft leather, were much more comfortable than high heels. Leaning her cheek against his neck, Gan Yuan placed her entire weight onto him.

"So comfortable! Like this, I can dance... all night... no... for a lifetime..."

Her cheeks were hot, and her alcohol-laced breath fluttered against his face, his ear... a heady fragrance intoxicating him.

"Then let’s dance for a lifetime."

Huangfu Jue drew her in closer to allow for a more comfortable embrace, and they moved gently, continuing their dance.

The last rays of the sunset vanished behind the distant hills.

On the terrace, only the candlelight flickered, reflecting off the wine glasses on the table and their swaying figures.

Her skirt entwined around his legs, and his suit jacket enveloped her frame...
