I think my luck is turning around.

In the middle of the night, amidst clinking glasses and exchanging toasts, An Ge was already a little tipsy, but she still retained a sliver of rationality.

An Ge sat there blankly. How did she end up sitting here?

She remembered that after Lan Hui left, Ji Ran insisted on returning to the Ji residence. Ji Ran seemed reluctant to leave, which put An Ge in a difficult position. She didn't know when Ji Xixi arrived, or when she stood beside Ji Ran, but suddenly made a suggestion.

"Now that things are mostly settled here, let's go for a drink! Song Tianqing brought over a lot of wine, and it looks really good!"

Ji Xixi's suggestion puzzled everyone present. How did things suddenly turn into drinking?

Ji Xia glanced at Ji Xixi, said nothing, and simply nodded.

"Yes! This wine is a fine wine made by Song Tianqing with improved techniques. Would you like to try some?"

Actually, An Ge didn't drink much in her original world. Perhaps it was because she had a father whose drinking caused disharmony in the family. An Ge didn't have much of a connection to drinking and wouldn't drink on her own initiative.

An Ge didn't nod, but Ji Ran was looking forward to it. After all, Ji Xia never let her touch a drop of alcohol. This time, if she went along, would she be able to drink a little?

Ji Ran's ulterior motives were obvious to Ji Xia, but he didn't say anything. He felt that his teaching methods needed to change; the person still kneeling outside the city gate was one example, and the person in front of him, acting on his own ideas, was another.

At first, he taught them about freedom and happiness, but they had only seen the suffering in this world, not experienced it themselves, which meant they lacked certain experiences. Although Ji Ran was "abandoned" from a young age, she was not lacking in love.

But Ji Xia thought she was being silly, how could she be so attached to a family member she hadn't seen for over ten years and didn't have many memories of?

That's certainly a cold-blooded statement, but that's how Ji Xia teaches: focus on yourself, and only you can truly trust yourself.

Ji Xia didn't want to say anything more about education; she just wanted to find a way to knock the man outside the city gate unconscious and carry him back to her residence. That guy was stubborn too; it was truly laughable! He hadn't remembered anything she taught them, all he'd learned was stubbornness.

He gestured for Steward Wang to come over and told him about Yan Yu kneeling outside the city gate, instructing him to knock him unconscious, throw him into the ancestral hall, and confine him for a month.

Butler Wang immediately received the information and went to handle it. He then left Lesifang, while Ji Xixi was still making a fuss!

"It's just a little wine. Song Tianqing's wine is incredibly delicious, comparable to Moutai!"

An Ge originally wanted to refuse, after all, as an ordinary working person, she had never drunk Moutai or anything like that, but Ji Xixi's next sentence immediately piqued An Ge's interest.

"The food at the Ji residence is very modern, with fried chicken, hamburgers, fries, and all sorts of other dishes."

An Ge had been eating bland food at Le Si Fang for quite some time now, which was really not good for someone like her who likes strong flavors! An Ge swallowed, but Ji Xixi didn't stop talking.

"And then there's the hot pot, which is the closest to the taste of red broth. The bright red color and the burning sensation from the chili peppers are addictive. Don't you really want to try it? It's freshly cut beef and mutton, dipped in the pot, and the taste is absolutely amazing!"

Tender, delicious, and with tripe, it's very crisp and refreshing after being dipped in and out of the pot.

…………………… "

That's right, An Ge is drooling like crazy right now, but tonight isn't a hot pot party! Tonight is a drinking party!

Despite all this talk, An Ge still won't get to eat it. However, An Ge could have a little of the wine, but at least the food provided by the Ji family wouldn't be so bland!

"An Ge, come with me~ I really want to have a drink."

How could An Ge refuse Ji Ran's request? Besides, she really wanted to eat something different.

An Ge glanced in Zhan Yu's direction. "Don't worry! I'm just going out for a drink. I'll definitely be back by noon tomorrow! Wait for me."

Before Zhan Yu could respond, An Ge ran downstairs. She was going to change her clothes and then go play!

Whatever the Ji family has, the drinks and food are definitely the best! Soon, An Ge came out dressed in casual clothes, which were quite plain, neither particularly beautiful nor inconspicuous.

Ji Ran stood at the door waiting for An Ge to come out. Now they were going to the Ji residence together! Although there were hardly any customers left in the music hall at this time, Li Yuesheng stood in the spot where Zhan Yu usually stood, watching everything below.

It's really ridiculous! Is your own music studio really this ridiculous? Just because of one sentence from Mr. Ji, you almost had to go out of business. You've managed to pull through.

Between lowering and raising his eyes, Li Yuesheng looked at Zhan Yu beside him, at this woman with whom he shared common interests.

"Do you think An Ge will continue to stay at Le Si Fang?"

Zhan Yu didn't show much expression, but she said very firmly, "She will definitely stay in Le Si Fang. No matter what the reason, she is An Ge, she is Simian, and she is an honest person."

I believe her.

The rain wasn't heavy, but it was enough to calm Li Yuesheng. Li Yuesheng was afraid of Ji Xia, a fear that came from the depths of his heart.

Li Yuesheng watched the carriage leave through the door, watched the sun set, watched the sky turn to night, and watched the sky full of stars.

In the dead of night, the Ji family mansion was brightly lit, as if to tell the world that the Ji family had not yet fallen asleep.

An Ge sat in the far corner. To be honest, she had drunk too much. She didn't know how many times she had thrown up or how long she had been drinking. This was the first time she had ever drunk so recklessly.

She used to restrain herself because of her father, but now she doesn't have so many concerns. She drinks whenever she wants, and there's no big deal about it.

An Ge looked at Ji Ran in front of her. Ji Ran had also drunk some, but not much. However, An Ge placed her hand on Ji Ran's shoulder and then launched a surprise attack, planting a kiss on Ji Ran's cheek.

Ji Ran was shocked and didn't know what to say, but she looked at Ji Xia and Ji Xixi with great confusion.

Ji Xixi found it hilarious; so this is what An Ge is like when she's drunk. Then, she slurred over to An Ge and looked at her.

"Do you only kiss Ji Ran, or do you kiss everyone?"

Ji Xixi raised her own questions.

But the next second, An Ge showed unprecedented clarity and spoke in a very organized manner.

“I don’t know, but I know that once I sober up, I can use the excuse that I was drunk and didn’t know to ‘get away with it’.”

But you are really beautiful.

As she spoke, An Ge cupped Ji Xixi's face and then kissed her on the lips.

Ji Xixi didn't refuse and returned the kiss, which shocked everyone else.

Ji Xia looked at the two of them, not wanting to say anything, but just felt it was an eyesore and told them to watch their behavior.

"You two, watch yourselves!"

An Ge slowly separated from Ji Xixi and then started laughing. For some reason, she felt ridiculous. She had taken advantage of Ji Xixi's vulnerability.
