Daily life of working as a substitute bride for a wealthy family

While Su Yifeng and Sheng Yang were talking, Xiang Ran tried not to interrupt.

Unless they mentioned her, they would speak only when necessary.

In fact, she had never had the opportunity to hear two such successful men chatting - except on TV.

So even though they were just chatting at the moment, she still listened very attentively.

When she was a child, Xiang Ran always hated listening to the men in the village chatting, because she felt that they were just bragging about meaningless things.

But Sheng Yang and Su Yifeng talked about something different.

They can talk about anything from the customs and culture of the Middle East and Northern Europe, to the news of Hong Kong Island's business district, to the municipal development of H City.

He also mixes in a few sentences in Chinese and English from time to time.

If someone else blurted out a few English words, Xiang Ran might even mock them for being "worshipping foreigners", but coming from the mouths of these two men, it sounded perfectly normal.

Especially for Su Yifeng, he must speak English better than Mandarin, so Sheng Yang indulged him.

After all, some professional terms are more accurately expressed in English.

But Sheng Yang accidentally caught a glimpse of his wife listening to their conversation attentively and quietly, and felt a little unhappy.

He rarely saw his wife listening to people so quietly, and he recalled some secret gossip he had investigated in the past few days - Su Yiqing once had someone she liked.

Sheng Yang couldn't help but regard Su Yifeng in front of him as a suspect.

After chatting for a while, Su Yifeng slowly wanted to get to the point. Sheng Yang also heard it, so he invited Su Yifeng to go to the study to talk alone.

The two men went to the study to discuss business.

Xiang Ran naturally didn't know what serious business they were talking about.

Just before dinner time, the two of them came out and said that Sheng Yang was treating them to a meal outside.

She didn't know why, but Xiang Ran felt that Sheng Yang's attitude towards her seemed better at this time of night. At least he would help her open the car door or something, just for show.

The hotel booked a private room in the "Shanshui Pearl" restaurant, which was decorated in Chinese style and the dishes were quite unique.

When Sheng Yang went to answer the phone halfway through, Su Yifeng asked her quietly: "Magnolia, how is Sheng Yang treating you?"

Xiang Ran was stunned. After all, the English name Magnolia was so unfamiliar that she almost couldn't react.

She thought about it and replied, "It's okay."

Su Yifeng said gently: "I think he is a good person."

"which aspect?"

Su Yifeng shrugged: "In many ways, it's a man's intuition."

At this time, Sheng Yang answered the phone and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Su Yifeng said: "We just talked about Magnolia's poor alcohol tolerance."

These words suddenly sparked Xiang Ran's inspiration.

By the way, it was also noted in the booklet that Su Yiqing never drinks alcohol.

How about she keep quiet today?

I went home and pretended to be asleep, and I just managed to escape danger tonight.

She glanced at Sheng Yang guiltily - who knew what he would be planning when he returned.

Unexpectedly, Sheng Yang was also looking at her.

Their eyes met so briefly that both sides thought they had seen wrongly.

Xiang Ran made up her mind and said to Su Yifeng, "Cousin, you don't know, I have improved my alcohol tolerance now."

"Really? Then would you like to drink some red wine tonight?" Su Yifeng poured Xiang Ran half a glass of red wine and handed it to her.

Sheng Yang frowned, but said nothing.

Xiang Ran didn't touch her wine glass, but instead shouted that she wanted to drink the white wine that the two men were drinking.

"You can't drink this wine." Sheng Yang picked up the bottle, pointed at the words on it, and said calmly, "This is the hotel's private brew - Yuexiang Wine. It's a double-brew rice wine, and it's very strong."

Xiang Ran snatched it up and sniffed it: "It smells a bit sweet."

Su Yifeng also said: "Magnolia, rice wine is like this, sweet at first, with a strong aftertaste. This wine is also known as Yingfengdao. You can only take a small sip at most."

Okay!

Under the gaze of the two men, Xiang Ran picked up the bottle and poured herself a small glass. When they were not paying attention, she raised the glass and drank it in one gulp.

It is indeed delicious, just a little spicier than fermented glutinous rice.

Sheng Yang couldn't help but look at her: "Are you okay?"

Su Yifeng was also stunned. "It seems that Magnolia has really developed her drinking capacity. I heard that my uncle also developed it through practice. Magnolia, your drinking capacity should be like your father's, which can be improved later in life."

Xiang Ran drank some wine and became more talkative: "That's right. I think so too, but I think this wine would be even better if it were paired with red mushrooms or stir-fried greens with chili peppers!"

Sheng Yang and Su Yifeng looked at each other: Is she really not drunk?

-

Xiang Ran was indeed not drunk, she was still thinking about what to do next?

She can drink quite well, but she has never played a drunk.

What if I can’t act like I’m drunk and it gets exposed?

In order to make her performance more realistic, she secretly decided to drink the half glass of red wine in front of her before leaving.

She stared fiercely at the half-full glass of wine on the table: It depends on you whether I can get through today.

After eating and drinking, we were about to leave.

Sheng Yang stood up and helped her carry the bag.

Xiang Ran gave him a contemptuous look, you bastard, why are you pretending to be a gentleman?

I was even turned away in the afternoon.

"Let's go!" Sheng Yang patted her shoulder.

"Wait!" Xiang Ran pretended to be ready to die, stood up, raised the half glass of red wine in front of him and drank it in one gulp!

Putting down the wine glass, Xiang Ran smiled at Su Yifeng, who was so surprised that he couldn't speak, and said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, cousin. I'm a little thirsty."

This made Sheng Yang very angry.

"You're thirsty, can't you drink the bottled water next to you?"

Xiang Ran looked at Sheng Yang with her bright eyes, letting go of Su Yiqing's ego: "I'm the eldest daughter of the Su family. I only drink Evian-branded bottled water. It's S-brand, I don't drink it."

Hehe, she was just telling the truth.

That's what it says in the booklet.

Look, Miss Su is so pretentious.

Come on! Come on, despise her!

OK, time to start acting!

Xiang Ran stood up and took a step, deliberately shaking his body: "Do you have Evian?"

Sheng Yang, who was standing by, grabbed her hand in time and said, "Let's go home and drink. We have Evian at home."

Seeing the young couple like this, Su Yifeng said tactfully, "Sheng Yang, why don't you take Yiqing home first. My hotel is not far away, I can take a taxi there."

Sheng Yang was not polite: "Okay, we'll talk next time."

-

As soon as he got in the car, Xiang Ran started playing dead.

No matter how Sheng Yang manipulated her, she didn't make a sound and didn't open her eyes.

He hugged her, and even though she couldn't breathe, she tried hard to keep her eyes closed.

Later he rubbed his chin with the back of her hand, again and again.

Although it was numb and itchy, Xiang Ran had a strong will and she endured it without making a sound.

Later, she also felt that he was secretly playing with her hair, lifting up the strands one by one with his fingers and then letting them down.

It's like hypnosis.

Just endure it.

Maybe Sheng Yang successfully hypnotized him.

When she opened her eyes again, Xiang Ran found herself being held by him around the waist.

And he was walking up the stairs.

It turns out that I have already arrived home.

Xiang Ran struggled for a moment, and the man whispered in her ear, "If you move again, I'll let go and let you fall."

Xiang Ran was still unconscious and subconsciously grabbed his neck.
