Chapter 179: If You Get Drunk

‘Commander Bai wouldn’t be…’

All of a sudden, Gu Yan didn’t know what expression she should be showing right now. She just gawked with her big pretty eyes at Lu Ye who was showing off.

Lu Ye chuckled, seemingly proud of his deeds. “But even now, Commander Bai doesn’t know I am the one who threw it. When we saw his face covered in snow, more than 20 of us ran away in an instant.”

“You really…” Gu Yan didn’t know what to say.

If in the future… Lu Ye came to know Commander Bai was her father, would he recall what he did?

Luckily, they began serving the food at this time. The charcoal that was burning under the pot was crimson red.

The lamb was thinly cut—fat but not greasy. It was cooked right away as soon as it was rinsed, leaving it with great texture.

The other dishes were also brought up. All the spices were distributed too. The service was thorough. Everything they would need was set up at the table.

Lu Ye looked hopefully at Gu Yan. “Yan, try this?”

The two sat opposite each other. The hot pot in the middle released hot steam.

Gu Yan nodded. Step by step, she rinsed the meat, dipped it in the sauce before taking a bite.

In fact, she didn’t actually need to physically taste it to confirm whether it was delectable. From its appearance alone, it definitely was.

Seeing Gu Yan grin, Lu Ye truly felt happier than when he ate great food himself. He pondered for a while. In the end, he asked for a bottle of wine.

“Gu Yan, I can drink, right?” Lu Ye confirmed when the bottle arrived.

“Do you go crazy when you are drunk?” Gu Yan felt ashamed. Supposedly, she had known Lu Ye for a long time by adding the encounters in her previous life. However, she realized she didn’t really know him well.

Lu Ye answered, “I never get drunk. How can I go crazy?”

‘Don’t doubt a man’s body, don’t doubt a man’s alcohol tolerance…’

Gu Yan found it amusing. She suddenly reached out her hand, saying, “Then, pour some for me too.”

This time, it was Lu Ye’s turn to be surprised.

When he came out to eat with friends, alcohol was a necessity. Hence, he sounded out the situation and only asked for a bottle of white wine.

‘But now… who drinks wine on a first date with a romantic partner?’

To be honest, although Lu Ye hadn’t dated before, he felt there was something amiss with the sequence of events.

He grinned dazedly as Gu Yan teased, “What’s wrong? You’re not going to let me drink? A small sip of white wine can warm up the body.”

“So my little wife is a heroine among women…” Lu Ye poured half a cup for Gu Yan while he filled up his own glass.

Lu Ye reminded carefully, “Don’t drink too much.”

“Are you starting to control me now?” Gu Yan felt it was entertaining.

Her alcohol tolerance from her previous life was actually great. When life was too hard, she could only resort to drinking so as to numb herself. Hence, she ended up drinking a lot.

But this time around, she wanted to get drunk for an entirely different reason.

Well, the beautiful snowflake adorned the outside view while the warm hotpot was being served inside.

Most importantly, sitting opposite her was the man she deeply loved.

Hence, this was a toast to her new life.

Lu Ye shook his head. “I’m not controlling you. This is for your own good… and for my own benefit.”

He blinked and smirked. “When you look at me while you are sober, I care barely handle it. But if you do it while you are drunk…”

“Eat your food!” Gu Yan was speechless and picked some meat for him.

Lu Ye bit down on Gu Yan’s chopsticks gently before letting go and tasting that piece of lamb thoroughly.

He smiled.

“The food my little wife picks for me is delicious!”
