Flash Marriage, Deep Love-Chapter 143 Chu Chen as the Driver (2)

Before long, the three bottles of beer were all empty. Mi Jing put down the can in her hand, picked up her chopsticks, and stuffed some cold dish into her mouth. Then she turned her head to look at Ji Dongquan’s profile and asked, "Ji, when you were outside my shop last time, you were in the car, right?"

"Yes." Ji Dongquan was holding a spoon, putting ingredients into the pot, and nodded in response.

"Then the day I went to the civil affairs bureau with my sister, you were nearby too, right?" Mi Jing propped her head with her hand and continued to ask.

"Yes." Ji Dongquan answered honestly and briskly, his expression calm, leaving Mi Jing uncertain about his feelings, but one thing Mi Jing was sure of was that Ji Dongquan still liked her sister.

What’s the basis for that?

Leaving aside other things, just from Ji Dongquan’s current actions, Mi Jing could see some information.

Both she and Mi Wan were sitting next to him, but his body was leaning more toward Mi Wan. Moreover, most of the food he put into the pot were things Mi Wan liked to eat. Of course, aside from these details, there was also the way he looked at Mi Wan, always tender and deeply affectionate, revealing a strong sense of love.

They say eyes don’t lie. Even if one is deliberately acting, no matter how good the performance, there will be flaws. Only genuine feelings naturally show through inadvertently.

Thinking of this, Mi Jing pursed her lips and smiled teasingly, "Ji, why didn’t you look for my sister and me the moment you came back? You hid from me even when you saw me. It’s not like you can’t face people."

"So, you’re saying it’s my fault?" Ji Dongquan’s thin lips curved up slightly, his tea-colored eyes carrying a hint of a smile as he looked at Mi Jing.

"The usual rules apply. Whether it’s your fault, I decide." Mi Jing sat up straight, her face filled with a playful, crafty smile, and said, "If you can give a reason that satisfies me, then you are not at fault, and I will make my sister drink. If not, then you’re at fault, and you will drink."

Mi Wan was really struck by an unwarranted misfortune!

Hearing Mi Jing drag her into this again, Mi Wan glared at Mi Jing helplessly, signaling her to tone it down.

Noticing Mi Wan’s glare, Mi Jing shrugged innocently and said, "Sis, Ji does all this for you! I didn’t get any benefits from it. Besides, it’s just drinking a bit of beer. With your capacity, you can handle several more bottles."

She didn’t get any benefits?

If Mi Jing were sitting next to her at the moment, Mi Wan would definitely slap her on the forehead to remind her of how she tried to gain "honor" by selling out her sister before.

Her momentary indignation came and went quickly. Mi Wan had always indulged Mi Jing, so she naturally wouldn’t really hold it against her. Thus, if Mi Jing wanted to mess around, she could only go along with it.

"I wanted to give your sister a surprise. Is that answer acceptable, little girl?" Ji Dongquan glanced at Mi Wan, then looked at Mi Jing with a slight arch in his eyes and a smile covering his handsome face, emanating a charming glow under the light.

"Acceptable, very acceptable, you’ve passed." After all, Mi Jing’s purpose was to get Mi Wan to drink. Although Ji Dongquan’s answer wasn’t surprising at all, Mi Jing nodded like a pecking chick, indicating she was very satisfied.

Since they had now tacitly agreed to play this game, they had to follow the rules. Accordingly, Mi Wan conscientiously grabbed a bottle of beer, pulled the tab, and tilted her head back, downing the beer.

"Cough, cough..."

Mi Wan drank a little too quickly. Just before she finished the bottle, she accidentally choked. Seeing this, Ji Dongquan quickly pulled out a napkin and handed it to her.

Wiping her mouth with the napkin, it was unclear whether it was from drinking or choking, but Mi Wan’s face was flushed with a rosy glow, exuding an allure that was very attractive to Ji Dongquan.

Ji Dongquan made no attempt to hide his feelings, his gaze fixed on her face, not shifting away for a moment.

Once upon a time, Mi Wan had been very accustomed to Ji Dongquan’s attentiveness, and this habit had not faded with time. Instead, the rapport between them remained.

Putting aside the can in her hand, Mi Wan lifted her eyelids and met Ji Dongquan’s tea-colored eyes. From within them, she saw a familiar intensity.

Her heart was stirred, and an indescribable mix of emotions surged within her—joy, sweetness, excitement, but also a hint of timidity and resistance that made her want to avoid it.

Mi Jing didn’t notice Mi Wan’s complex emotions. Watching both of them ignore her completely as if she was invisible, she cleared her throat as if to remind them of her presence. "Ahem...Ahem."

The moment Mi Jing made a sound, Mi Wan immediately averted her gaze. Ji Dongquan slowly turned his face toward Mi Jing and said, "Little girl, what are you dissatisfied with now?" freёnovelkiss-com

"Nothing! I just wanted to remind you both that exchanging loving glances won’t fill your stomachs. Also, if you keep cooking the food in the pot any longer, it will turn to mush." As she spoke, Mi Jing glanced at the bubbling yin-yang pot.

Upon hearing this, Ji Dongquan smiled but said nothing, picking up the spoon to serve food into their bowls.

Mi Jing and Mi Wan had different tastes. Mi Jing liked spicy food, while Mi Wan didn’t. Ji Dongquan hadn’t forgotten this after all these years, prompting Mi Jing to give him a thumbs-up. "Ji, you’ve got a good memory! I’ll give you a million likes."

Looking at the food in her bowl, Mi Jing’s mood brightened significantly. After praising Ji Dongquan, she began eating heartily, without any regard for being ladylike. Of course, she occasionally remembered to make Mi Wan drink some more beer. As for herself, since she was in high spirits, she drank quite a bit too.

As the three of them ate and drank, the atmosphere was excellent. By the time Shen Lingxing’s call came in, Mi Jing was already slightly tipsy.

"Hello." Mi Jing supported her somewhat dizzy head with her hand and lazily hummed through her nose.

"Have you been drinking?" Shen Lingxing asked affirmatively, hearing the unusual thickness in her voice.

"Yes, a bit. Are you home?" Mi Jing, although easily flushed when drinking, didn’t get drunk easily. Although a bit woozy, her mind was still clear.

"I’m about to head back," Shen Lingxing said. "When are you leaving? I’ll send someone to pick you up."

"Okay! I’ve pretty much had enough." Mi Jing was already full and didn’t want to continue being a third wheel, so she gladly accepted Shen Lingxing’s arrangement.

After giving Shen Lingxing the address and room number, Mi Jing hung up the phone.

Of the three, Ji Dongquan had the best tolerance for alcohol. Additionally, Mi Jing could handle her liquor slightly better than Mi Wan. By this point, Mi Wan was quite drunk—not enough to be totally out of it, but not as clear-headed as Mi Jing.

Looking at Mi Wan, who had unknowingly leaned against Ji Dongquan, Mi Jing waved her hand in front of Ji Dongquan. Seeing his gaze shift to her, she said, "Ji, you should take my sister home first. Shen Lingxing will come to pick me up later."
