Chapter 246: Chapter 246: Taking Her Ho Chapter 246: Chapter 246: Taking Her Ho However, Xi Wanlin ultimately still had to rely on Li Hengze, she had to marry him, otherwise, she would now be a Cinderella.
Although she had worked hard for so many years and owned her own company, she thought it was all trivial compared to her family background.
“Let’s eat sothing first, what do you have here to eat?” Xi Wanlin asked.
“Dumplings, crystal buns, and a big pig’s knuckle, is that ok? I ordered takeout tonight, haven’t had the chance to eat it yet.” Li Hengze got up, his chubby body trotted over to the counter and brought back several huge takeout boxes.
Xi Wanlin glanced and couldn’t help but frown, this Li Hengze really ate a lot, all these takeout boxes were large, and one box of dumplings was more than triple what she usually bought.
Xi Wanlin’s mouth twitched, and she chuckled, “Alright, then I’ll eat a bit.”
Li Hengze did not understand how much she ant by “a bit,” and simply handed her a whole box of dumplings.
Xi Wanlin reluctantly ate six dumplings, drank so water, and then felt stuffed.
“I can’t eat anymore.” She pushed the takeout box back in front of him.
Li Hengze didn’t mind, he took it and continued to eat. He had ordered too much food, it took him half an hour to feel full, and after he finished, he even belched.
Xi Wanlin couldn’t hold back and spoke in a tone filled with disdain, “You really don’t seem like soone from the Li Family, more like soone from a construction site.”
Li Hengze, with a thick skin, didn’t mind Xi Wanlin saying this; on the contrary, he even made a joke, “You’re not wrong, I’ve always suspected that I wasn’t born to my parents, could I have been switched at birth?”
It was just a joke, but this joke touched a nerve for Xi Wanlin, Xi Wanlin got angry, “Do you think you’re very humorous?”
“A little bit, hehehe,” Li Hengze chuckled.
“Why don’t you go for a DNA test, then? Don’t wait to be kicked out by the Li Family soday.” Xi Wanlin flipped her eyes at him.
“It’s not necessary, ah, whether born to them or not? Actually, one look at my face and you can tell. Although I may be a bit lackadaisical, I do look quite like my mom, if I lose about 30 pounds, then I would look exactly like her when she was young, hehehe.” Li Hengze laughed heartily.
Finally, Xi Wanlin ran out of patience, she asked irritatedly, “Have you had enough to eat?”
“Finished, do you want more? I’ve still got so crystal buns left.”
Xi Wanlin looked at the few disheveled crystal buns left in his box and couldn’t help but roll her eyes, “If you can’t eat anymore, just throw them away.”
But Li Hengze was reluctant to throw them away, he put the takeout box back on the counter and said, “I’ll probably be hungry after finishing up the work, then I’ll eat these to fill up.”
Xi Wanlin didn’t bother with him anymore, she just went over to the bar and asked the bartender to mix her a few cocktails.
…
Li Hengze also had so matters to instruct the bar staff, but when he was done and ca over, he saw that Xi Wanlin was already a bit tipsy, her cheeks rosy and her eyes containing so sadness, much gentler than usual.
Moreover, Xi Wanlin had been living a life of luxury for years, her figure was well-maintained and she had a great posture.
Li Hengze couldn’t help but swallow.
He rembered the last ti Xi Wanlin confessed her love to him while drunk, but because of his reserve, he hadn’t accepted her.
He regretted it for many days afterward, but he didn’t feel remorse, because he believed sleeping with a girl while drunk, even if she was his fiancée, was wrong.
Indeed, Li Hengze was a morally conscious person despite being quite lethargic.
His bar was a sober bar, not allowing random people inside, and during the day when the bar was closed, he would stay at ho, drinking tea and practicing calligraphy, hardly resembling a typical rich second generation.
Li Hengze had two older brothers. The eldest and the second brother both helped out in the family business. The eldest brother liked to frequent glamorous nightclubs, and the second brother was adventurous, often going surfing and paragliding when not busy. In Li Hengze’s view, these activities were courting death.
As Li Hengze was staring at his fiancée, Xi Wanlin turned around. She beckoned him with her hand, “Co over, have a few drinks with !”
Although Li Hengze was large, he was perceptive and could tell that Xi Wanlin was troubled and in a bad mood.
He sat down next to her and asked the bartender to make him a drink, then sat with Xi Wanlin.
Xi Wanlin remained silent, and so did he; they just quietly drank together.
After about an hour, Xi Wanlin wanted to go to the restroom. However, she was too drunk to stand steadily; fortunately, although Li Hengze was heavy, he was agile and swiftly supported her.
When Xi Wanlin initiated physical contact, she involuntarily looked up at Li Hengze. She hadn’t succeeded in seducing him last ti, but this ti, she was determined to succeed.
“Ah Ze, I want to go ho. Can you, can you take back?” she stuttered, struggling to control her tongue.
“Okay, I’ll take you ho.”
“Go to my apartnt,” Xi Wanlin said.
Li Hengze knew that Xi Wanlin had bought a large apartnt, but she rarely stayed there, preferring to live with her parents. Was she not returning to the Xi Family ho because she was upset this ti?
Li Hengze and Xi Wanlin had grown up together, and he felt it was rare for her to be in a bad mood. Xi Wanlin was very competitive; only poor exam results during her studies or failing to secure a desired project could upset her.
Yet even in failure, she could quickly gather herself and would not drown her sorrows in alcohol.
What had Xi Wanlin gone through? Could it be heartbreak?
Li Hengze also knew that Xi Wanlin didn’t truly love him.
Li Hengze dared not think too much. He simply drove Xi Wanlin to her apartnt.
Xi Wanlin had already fallen asleep leaning against the car seat during the ride ho. Li Hengze shook her gently, but she was so drunk she couldn’t even open her eyes. He had no choice but to get out and carry her.
Back in her apartnt, he used Xi Wanlin’s fingerprint to unlock the door and then carried her to the sofa.
After doing all this, he was breathless with fatigue, looking at Xi Wanlin lying on the sofa. Li Hengze considered leaving but worried about her safety, considering she was drunk. What if she woke up in the middle of the night and injured herself stumbling around?
Forget it, he decided to stay.
The sofa was L-shaped. Xi Wanlin was lying on one side, and he prepared to rest on the other side when Xi Wanlin suddenly woke up.
She opened her eyes, glanced around, and realized she was at her own place.
When she saw Li Hengze, she propped herself up and extended her hand toward him: “I need to go to the bathroom, help there.”
