Taking advantage of the beauty being poor, fooling her into being my girlfriend-Chapter 964 - 55 Yikali Turns Out to Be Such a Person
Chapter 964: Chapter 55 Yikali Turns Out to Be Such a Person
“Actually, I’ve got two more bottles of tiger bone wine at home,” Yikali threw out her trump card, “and one is from fifty-five years ago, the other eighty years old.
Even more potent and precious.
If you keep drinking with me, I’ll give you another bottle of fifty-five-year-old tiger bone wine.”
Jiang Xu agreed without hesitation, “Okay, it’s a deal, let’s keep drinking!”
He just couldn’t say no to what she offered.
For the sake of a prolonged, happy life with his close female friends, Jiang Xu felt a little ‘sacrifice’ on his part was acceptable.
...
Jiang Xu asked, “What do you feel like drinking?”
“Let’s go with Moutai,” pondered Yikali, “it doesn’t give you a headache.”

“Okay,” Jiang Xu stood up, “Wait here, I’ll get it.”
Jiang Xu fetched two bottles of Moutai, a dish of peanuts, and mixed cucumber and chili together.
These two appetizers would be enough.
This Moutai, all aged over thirty years, was rich in flavor and went down smoothly.
“Here’s to our friendship over the years,” Yikali lifted her glass first.
“Cheers,” Jiang Xu clinked glasses with her.
Both emptied their glasses in one gulp.
“Mm, this cucumber salad is good,” Yikali said as she took a bite.
Her lips moved subtly as she ate.
It was tempting enough to make one want to kiss her.
“You still haven’t got a boyfriend?” asked Jiang Xu after eating a couple of peanuts.
“Why bring that up now when we’re having such a good time?” Yikali wasn’t happy upon hearing this.
Pouting her luscious lips, she said, “There have been some proposals for an arranged marriage, all with decent prospects, but just no spark.”
Jiang Xu fell silent.
“Sigh!” Yikali lamented, “There’s truth in saying, if you meet someone too dazzling when you’re young, it sets your standards too high when you’re older.”
She was naturally referring to Jiang Xu.
“So, you’ve never been in a relationship until now?” Jiang Xu asked incredulously.
Yikali nodded.
Jiang Xu continued, “Then you’re still that, what?”
Yikali’s eyes lifted, “Guess?”
Jiang Xu shook his head, “How could I guess that?”
“Well…” Yikali beckoned Jiang Xu with a curled finger, her eyes brimming with allure, “you could always check.”
“Pfft!”
Jiang Xu sprayed out the drink in his mouth.
Yikali had changed too.
When he first met this young girl, she was pure and naïve.
Now, she had changed like this.
Seeing Jiang Xu speechless, Yikali grew even bolder.
She leaned forward, half her body towards Jiang Xu.
As she did, her neckline plunged open, and she looked at Jiang Xu with a smile, “What’s wrong, Mr. Jiang, got cold feet now?
I’m just a poor, defenseless girl, what’s there to fear?”
Definitely on purpose.
Jiang Xu sipped his drink to calm his nerves and said lightly, “Because you want me to take responsibility.
If I didn’t have to, I would’ve done something long ago.”
Now it was Yikali’s turn to fall silent.
Everything she was doing was to make Jiang Xu lose control and take responsibility for her.
And now Jiang Xu spoke of a fling with no strings attached, which Yikali definitely didn’t want.
She sat back down, pouting, “Men are all the same, truly despicable.”
Annoyed, she downed three glasses in quick succession.
Therefore, her face turned red instantly.
Jiang Xu drank at a leisurely pace.
See, this was the crux of the issue.
Yikali had no “spirit of selfless devotion,” and Jiang Xu had no intention of fulfilling his obligations.
Therefore, neither side could cross that threshold.
“Don’t forget about that tiger bone wine, huh,” Jiang Xu reminded Yikali again.
“Got it, got it,” Yikali grumbled in annoyance: “Stinky man, so annoying.”
Yikali, in a semi-drunken state, seemed even more charming.
Because of the alcohol, her body temperature rose quite rapidly.
Her skin turned a rosy pink.
“That’s probably enough,” Jiang Xu said.
The two had unwittingly drunk a bottle and a half.
It was time to quit while they were ahead.
Drink any more, and she’d pass out again.
“No more, no more,” Yikali shook her head, “Tired, I want to sleep.”
She stood up, swaying.
But after barely taking two steps, she leaned to one side and almost fell.
Luckily, Jiang Xu was quick to support her.
After that, Yikali felt as if she were approaching a stove.
Suddenly, all the emotions she had buried deep inside, suppressed for a long time, were unleashed.
Yikali tiptoed and sealed Jiang Xu’s mouth with a kiss.
Jiang Xu tilted his head back, “This isn’t a good idea.”
Yikali clenched her teeth: “If we do this… and then that… you can… but don’t… just be okay with it… help me…”
Jiang Xu’s eyes widened, looking at Yikali’s pleading face, “What kind of movies do you usually like to watch?”
“Is now really the time for that?” Yikali was almost reduced to tears by Jiang Xu.
Seeing her about to explode, Jiang Xu finally closed his mouth.
He carried her to the bed, and then…
Over an hour later, Jiang Xu looked at the sleeping Yikali.
After covering her with a blanket, he washed his hands, took a shower in the study, and changed into clean clothes.
It was nearly dawn.
He decided to just sleep in the study.
When Jiang Xu woke up again, it was past noon.
His head felt heavy.
He poured himself a cup of warm water, and only after drinking it did he start to feel better.
Sigh, can’t keep staying up late, it’s really not good for the body.
After brushing his teeth and washing his face, he came to the living room; Yikali was already awake, playing games with her three children.
Yikali heard the noise, looked up, and smiled warmly in greeting.
She seemed normal.
But her eyes clearly showed a mix of guilt and something elusive.
Last night, after getting drunk, she had been too bold.
Although, in the end, they hadn’t done that, they had still done that.
If she hadn’t trained herself to have a strong heart over the years,
facing Jiang Xu now would surely mean running away in a panic.
Seeing Yikali, Jiang Xu couldn’t help but recall what happened last night.
He wondered if it was because Yikali had never been in love before, she was exceptionally… um… exceptionally easily “moved.”
Once “moved,” Yikali would start “crying.”
And not just a “little cry,” but the kind of “loud sobbing.”
At first, it even startled Jiang Xu.
He had never seen someone who could “cry” that much, with “tears” flowing nonstop like a waterfall.
Of course, this also provided Jiang Xu with a completely new experience and greatly expanded his horizons.
