Chapter 232: Chapter 234 Drunk

The wedding definitely needed some celebration. Originally, Xu Yingying suggested going out to eat, but the Xu Zhenguo Couple felt eating out wasn’t as casual. In the end, they made a feast at home. Although it was just the five of them, it was still lively because there was the lively sister-in-law Xu Shanshan, who teased Li Yifei from time to time, naturally bringing much joy.

The Xu Zhenguo Couple drank quite a bit of alcohol tonight and were overjoyed. Xu Zhenguo patted Li Yifei on the shoulder and said, "Yifei, I’ll leave Yingying in your hands from now on. My daughter has quite a temper. If she does anything wrong, don’t hesitate to scold her or even discipline her. Although women need a bit of pampering, it shouldn’t be excessive."

Xu Yingying immediately protested, "Dad, why aren’t you siding with your daughter?"

Xu Zhenguo laughed heartily and said, "Of course, I pamper my daughter, but once she’s married, she’s forming a new family. Inevitably, there will be friction between them. If he blindly agrees with you, in the end, it could lead to bigger problems. You’re too strong-willed; I don’t want Yifei to be too weak in front of you."

Li Yifei chuckled and said, "Dad, you don’t need to worry about that." After getting the marriage certificate, Xu Zhenguo Couple insisted Li Yifei change the way he addressed them. Initially, it felt awkward for Li Yifei, but after a few times, it felt quite natural.

The most important thing was that after his parents passed away, Li Yifei never had this familial feeling again. In Xu Yingying’s home, he felt this sensation once more. Even if it wasn’t for the fake marriage with Xu Yingying, having Xu Zhenguo Couple treat him so well, changing the way he addressed them was no big loss.

Xu Yingying’s mother chimed in at this moment, "The most important thing for you two is to have children early. Yifei, let me tell you, don’t listen to Yingying saying she’s busy with work or that now isn’t a suitable time to have kids. Those are all excuses. Once a woman marries, she should have children. Human desires are endless. With the accomplishments you’ve achieved now, you’ll feel there are higher achievements waiting for you. When you finally realize that one day, you’ll be older. Even if you can still have kids, by the time they’re a bit older, you’ll be too old to have the energy to take care of them. So, you should work hard now, understand?"

Xu Shanshan gave her mother a thumbs up and said, "Mom, this is the first time I’ve heard you say something so profound."

Xu Yingying’s mother glared and said, "Don’t think I’m just nagging; it’s all for your good. As a mother, how could I harm my own daughter?"

Li Yifei humbly said, "Yes, yes, we will work hard."

Xu Yingying felt a bit awkward but had to go along with her mother’s words. In her heart, however, she didn’t quite agree since she had her own life plans, getting married at thirty and having kids before thirty-five.

"Come, come, today we’re happy, let’s keep drinking." Xu Zhenguo raised his wine glass again. Being fond of drinking, usually, his daughters wouldn’t let him, but today he was freed, and naturally, he wouldn’t stop.

They drank until after ten thirty. Xu Zhenguo got quite drunk, and Li Yifei helped him into the bedroom, while Xu Yingying’s mother, who rarely drank, was also very happy today and drank quite a bit. She too couldn’t hold on and went to the bedroom to sleep.

However, Xu Shanshan was still energetic. When Li Yifei came back, she immediately patted the table and said, "Brother-in-law, make me a cocktail?"

Although Li Yifei could hold his liquor, he was a bit tipsy by now and agreed happily. Xu Yingying wanted to go to sleep but, worried about Li Yifei being with Xu Shanshan, decided to stay with them.

The three moved to the living room, and using the few kinds of alcohol available at Xu Yingying’s place, Li Yifei not only made a cocktail for Xu Shanshan but also one for Xu Yingying.

"Brother-in-law, you’re not drinking?" Xu Shanshan raised her glass and looked at Li Yifei.

Li Yifei poured himself a glass of beer and said, "I’ll drink this."

Xu Shanshan immediately protested, "No, no. I have all kinds of alcohol here. How can you drink beer? You have to drink white spirit."

"No, thanks. I’ve had quite a bit already, drinking more will be too much." Li Yifei quickly declined.

"Too much is fine; we’re at home. If you drink too much, just sleep. Besides, today is your and my sister’s big wedding day. If you don’t drink a bit more, how can you match this happy occasion?" Xu Shanshan said, winking at Li Yifei.

"Okay, then I’ll just drink a little." Li Yifei downed the beer and poured a little white spirit.

"That’s not enough. Are you saving it for fish?" Xu Shanshan grabbed the bottle and poured nearly a full glass for Li Yifei.

Xu Yingying’s eyes widened immediately and said, "Are you trying to get your brother-in-law drunk?"

Xu Shanshan giggled and said, "Getting drunk is good; you never know what might happen."

Xu Yingying’s face darkened as she looked at Li Yifei, actually worried about what he might do if he really got drunk. If something happened in the room, causing a commotion to wake up her parents, even if she stopped him, their fake marriage would definitely be exposed. After all, they already got the certificate, and Xu Yingying had no reason not to let Li Yifei get close.

Letting Li Yifei do as he pleased was even worse; Xu Yingying was still a virgin, and she wasn’t actually married to Li Yifei. How could she muddle through and give her first time to him like this?

Xu Shanshan slung her arm over Li Yifei’s shoulder, winked at Xu Yingying, and said, "Brother-in-law, look, my sister is getting emotional now; you can’t miss this tonight."

Li Yifei chuckled lightly and said, "Stop causing trouble. Don’t you know what the deal is between me and your sister? How would I dare do anything to her?"

Xu Shanshan pouted and said, "Isn’t my sister always saying she wants to be with you? If it were me, I’d have gotten the real certificate and gone to bed with you already, truly being your wife. She’s just trying to stop me from being with you."

Xu Yingying was shocked, fearing her parents would hear this. She immediately glared and said, "Stop talking nonsense."

Xu Shanshan snorted and said, "How am I talking nonsense? You know I like brother-in-law, and you’re deliberately causing trouble just to keep me away from him. Hmph, brother-in-law, come on, let’s drink."

"You can’t drink that much." Xu Yingying hurriedly held down Li Yifei’s hand.

Xu Shanshan snorted again and said, "If you don’t let my brother-in-law drink with me, I’ll shout out the truth."

"You dare?"

"What wouldn’t I dare? Telling would do no harm to me, only good."

"You..." Xu Yingying was at a loss for words.

Li Yifei gently moved Xu Yingying’s hand away and said with a smile, "It’s okay. Let Shanshan and I have some drinks together. It’s a rare happy day today."

Xu Yingying was helpless and could only look angrily at the two as they prepared to continue drinking. But just as Xu Shanshan raised her glass, she set it back down, giving a mischievous smile to Xu Yingying and said, "You have to drink too. If you don’t, I’ll shout."

Xu Yingying was quite angry now, but with this little sister, she really had no way. She knew clearly that Xu Shanshan could actually do such a thing, so she raised her glass and said, "I’m not afraid of you. Let’s drink, then." She gulped down the cocktail in one go.

"This is good. Come on, brother-in-law, cheers." She also downed her drink in one gulp.

Li Yifei picked up his glass and said bitterly, "Do I have to finish it too?"

Xu Shanshan wouldn’t agree otherwise and said, "Of course, how can you not? We finished ours; you have to finish yours too."

"But this is white spirit."

"What’s wrong with white spirit? I know brother-in-law can drink; drinking beer is like drinking water for you, what’s the fun in that? It’s only with white spirit I might have a chance to outdrink you. Come on, brother-in-law, you’re saying you can’t handle it now? That’s not like you."

Li Yifei laughed heartily and said, "In front of men, I can’t say ’can’t.’ All right, I’ll go for it and drink with you to my heart’s content."

"Good, let’s drink to our heart’s content." Xu Shanshan was even more excited and immediately filled the glasses full of beer for the three of them this time.

In less than half an hour, the three of them drank almost ten bottles of beer. Although Xu Yingying had trained some tolerance for alcohol by attending various events, she couldn’t take it anymore and was almost drunk. She was teetering and couldn’t sit still, her eyes barely open, and her speech started slurring.

Xu Shanshan had had a bit too much as well, but rather than being muddled or going wild, her eyes shone brightly like light bulbs, although she couldn’t quite keep her balance.

Li Yifei wasn’t much better off. Though he could hold his liquor, he wasn’t immune to alcohol. Having drunk a lot with Xu Zhenguo tonight, and again through the mix of beer and white spirit, he was now seven or eight parts drunk.

"I can’t anymore, I can’t drink anymore," Xu Yingying waved her hand, and as she wobbled, she leaned against Li Yifei’s shoulder but didn’t sit tight, directly sliding down. Li Yifei instinctively caught her, and she ended up resting her head on his lap.

"Brother-in-law, let’s keep drinking," Xu Shanshan brought another drink to her lips, but she spilled half of it on herself and then slumped onto Li Yifei.

Li Yifei caught Xu Shanshan as well, letting her rest on his lap. At this moment, he intended to return to the bedroom, but his head was constantly spinning. Closing his eyes was only to rest for a moment, but he quickly fell asleep.

The next morning, Xu Yingying’s mother got up early and saw the three of them in the living room. Seeing their sleeping position, she was instantly dumbfounded.
