It's terrible. Mr. Lu is too clingy.

"cheers!"

On the dining table, the crisp sound of glass colliding could be heard.

Lu Ci also picked up the red wine and drank it elegantly. Seeing that she didn't drink it, he deliberately asked:

"Why don't you drink?"

[Hehe, now it's my turn to get drunk, and then she'll take care of me. This is a good opportunity to test her alcohol tolerance.]

Xie Xingran: ...

She put down the wine glass with a headache, "You can't drink much, so I'd better not drink more. If you want to drink, drink it. I can drink okay."

Over the years, she has improved her alcohol tolerance through social events. Not only does she not get drunk, but she also doesn't easily get embarrassed.

She's a little weird about this.

How could he, a CEO, have such a low alcohol tolerance? Doesn’t he need to socialize?

Thinking of it, she asked, "Don't you usually drink when you go out for social events?"

Lu Ci's expression also froze.

An incomprehensible emotion flashed across his eyes, so quickly that it was difficult to detect.

He raised his head and smiled widely:

"Yeah. I don't want to drink, and no one dares to force me. You should also try not to drink outside in the future. After all, we have a mother who carries the burden for us."

His last sentence sounded proud and cocky, and Xie Xingran was very envious.

"It's nice to have mom here."

She sighed, a trace of loneliness flashing across her eyes that she herself was not aware of.

If only her mother were still alive.

You don’t need to carry the burden for her, just be there for her and it will be good.

Lu Ci also remembered that her parents had both passed away, and guilt spread throughout her heart.

It would be bad to ignore it, but saying sorry would be too deliberate. After hesitating for a moment, he said:

"My mother is your mother now, and you will know whether she is good or not in the future.

When she's nice to me, she's really nice to me. When she's mean to me, she wants to kick me out of the house. But she definitely won't kick you out."

Xie Xingran couldn't help but smile, "Auntie is very nice. She's not the type to wrongly accuse others. She must have been mean to you because you made her angry."

As soon as the word "Aunt" came out, Lu Ci couldn't hide the disappointment in his heart and pouted.

Didn't you change your tone when you got married? Now you're calling me aunt again.

Oh, when I see my mother someday, I will definitely complain to her in person, saying that her daughter-in-law is hypocritical.

Xie Xingran clearly felt the vein on his forehead twitch violently.

He really is worthy of being the bully and boss in her mind, who is only three years old and only knows how to complain.

She gritted her teeth and explained stiffly, "Oh, I called you the wrong name just now. I shouldn't call you aunt. I, I should call you mom. I'm not used to it yet."

Lu Ci also raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "That's right, you can call me mom, old mom, or our mom."

Xie Xingran curled his lips: "I understand."

Later, at dinner, Lu Ci also drank half a bottle of red wine, but felt nothing.

[She can drink so much? I don't believe it. She can drink this bottle without getting dizzy or red-faced.]

He wanted to pour more wine, but Xie Xingran held his hand just in time, with a hint of warning:

"If you don't want to experience the pain of your first day of menstruation at night, it's best not to drink it."

Thinking of the pain, Lu Ci was so scared that his hands trembled. He looked at the big hand covering his back, his eyes turned, and he shouted:

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? Now that it's not you who's in pain, you don't care anymore, right?"

"No..." Xie Xingran felt a little guilty.

At first, she did want to take the opportunity to teach him a lesson. Who made him have impure thoughts?

But when she thought about her own body, she persuaded him to give in.

Lu Ci also put his hands on his hips, showing his arrogant and domineering attitude, and took the opportunity to make a request:

"I don't care. As a punishment, you have to rub my belly at night."

Xie Xingran wanted to resist, but Lu Ci also picked up the bottle and wanted to continue drinking, so she had to compromise.

Looking at his smug look, Xie Xingran frowned.

I was going to teach him a lesson, but how come he has me in his hands now?

This scheming man!

—

The next day, Xie Xingran woke up as soon as the alarm clock rang.

At the same time, he realized that he was being hugged tightly by Lu Ciye, the octopus.

She couldn't help but hold her forehead and sighed heavily.

I was rubbing his belly last night, but he was so tired that he fell asleep while rubbing and didn't even return to his own area.

As soon as the alarm clock turned off, Lu Ci woke up as well.

Noticing the distance between them, and looking into each other's eyes, he raised his hands and stepped back innocently.

"I don't know either. I thought you were my pillow."

Xie Xingran didn't have time to argue with him.

The holiday is over today and they all have to start work. They wash up early, leave early, arrive early, and punch in early.

But when they stood up, something embarrassing happened.

At this time in the past, Xie Xingran would always pretend to sleep a little longer to avoid it, but today he had to go to work and was in a hurry and didn't pay attention.

This time it was embarrassing.

Xie Xingran's face flushed red, and he immediately picked up a pillow to cover himself in front of him, looking at the equally embarrassed person opposite him.

She angrily said, "What are you looking at?!"

[What's wrong with seeing it? It's not like she hasn't seen it before. She must have seen it too.]

Lu Ci also thought about it subconsciously and wanted to say it out loud, but when he saw the other party's angry face, he swallowed it back.

"This is normal, it's a normal phenomenon, don't worry about it." He stuttered, "You, you don't have to be shy, just treat it normally."

Xie Xingran's face turned even redder, and it was unclear whether he was angry or embarrassed.

After a moment, she threw the pillow away and went to the bathroom.

As he said, treat it with a normal mind.

Even if you don't have it, you have to pretend to be calm.

After a while, he also went into the bathroom and brushed his teeth with her in front of the big mirror.

There was something strange in the quiet air.

[Alas, I can only bear with my brother for now. I will compensate him after I get it back.]

"Pfft-cough cough cough."

Lu Ci also turned his head curiously and patted her back caringly:

"Your throat hurts? Do you have a cold?"

Xie Xingran dodged his hand and glared at him secretly, "It's okay, I'm done washing and leaving first."

After saying that, without waiting for him to ask her to stay, she quickly walked out of the bathroom, picked up a suit and went downstairs to change.

"Your face is so red, are you so embarrassed that you can't face anyone?" Lu Ci also muttered.

[Were she and her ex-boyfriend in a platonic relationship before? ]

Thinking of this, Lu Ci's mood inexplicably improved, and the corners of his mouth smiled a lot wider.

Xie Xing then gritted her teeth, suspecting that he was mocking her.

Although she and Jiang Ci Yang did not have much in-depth communication during the three months they were together.

At most, they just touched lips and never opened their mouths.

But judging from Lu Ci's bold and rogue voice, she guessed that he either had a girlfriend,

Or maybe you’ve watched it too much!
