Back home, bottles of wine were laid out on the dining table, and the drinking contest could finally continue.

Dinner lasted for an hour, only stopping after everyone was half-drunk.

Since everyone was quite drunk, Yunni cleaned up some empty rooms upstairs for them to rest in.

Mo Xie, Yun Ni, and Jiang Shaoxu worked together to carry them to the bed in the room before going downstairs to clear the dishes from the dining table.

Seeing Yunni take the bowls and chopsticks into the kitchen, Moxie quickly followed her in and said.

"Aunt Ni, let me wash the dishes."

"It's alright, Aunt Ni, you don't need to help. You can go to the living room and chat with Xingyi and the others for a while."

"But……"

Mo Xie wanted to say something more, but Jiang Shaoxu forcefully pushed her out of the kitchen, and the latter said irritably.

"Okay, you can stay outside obediently. I'll help Mom with the dishes."

She felt that at this moment, it was very important to show Mo Xie her qualities as a virtuous wife and loving mother, in order to increase her favorability.

Seeing how capable her daughter was, Yunni nodded with satisfaction, seemingly quite pleased.

Watching the slender figures of the mother and daughter in the kitchen, Mo Xie sighed helplessly and turned to walk towards the living room.

Inside the living room, Zu Xingyi, Jiang Shaojun, and Ai Jiangtu, who were there to drink with the elders, did not get drunk like the three elders. They were only half-drunk and half-awake, sitting on the sofa to recover.

Mo Xie took a step closer and the next second she heard Zu Xingyi's drunken murmur, his tone even carrying a hint of pleading.

"Hongying, can you please stop being angry? It's not that I don't love you, it's just that there's been so much going on lately..."

Upon hearing this, Mo Xie sighed, feeling a pang of regret for his master.

People speak the truth when they're drunk. My master's wife is still sulking. If my master hadn't been so busy lately, I might have been able to attend their wedding...

Just as he was feeling regretful about it, another soft female voice came, with a hint of reproach in her tone.

"Xingyi, how did you get so drunk? Don't you know that drinking too much alcohol is bad for your health?"

Upon hearing his master's wife's voice, Mo Xie was startled. He walked around the sofa to the front and saw that his master was making a video call on his phone.

Zu Xingyi leaned back on the sofa, his face flushed, and held his phone up to his face, speaking somewhat incoherently.

"Hongying, please don't be angry with me anymore, okay? I've been feeling really bad, so I've been drinking to cheer myself up."

Upon hearing this, Shao Hongying on the other end of the phone sounded angry and said irritably.

"Xingyi, I think you've gone mad! Why are you drinking for no reason!"

"I don't care, if you don't forgive me, I'll keep drinking until you..."

As he spoke, Zu Xingyi's eyelids began to tremble. He must have drunk too much. He slowly drifted off to sleep, his arms hanging limply at his sides.

The phone screen was facing the ceiling, revealing Shao Hongying's slightly worried pretty face and her anxious words.

"Hey, Xingyi, Xingyi, why can't I see you on my phone? Are you alright?"

Mo Xie watched as Zu Xingyi slumped on the sofa, and heard soft snoring. He sighed slightly.

My master really drank a lot of alcohol that night. Part of the reason was due to the pressure he had been under recently, and another part of the reason... was probably his wife.

He walked over and laid Zu Xingyi flat on the sofa, picked up his phone and held it up in front of him. He immediately saw Shao Hongying's flawless and beautiful face and smiled as he comforted her.

"Master's wife, I will take good care of Master, so please don't worry."

"Oh, so you're here too, Xiao Xie. I'm relieved. Xingyi, really, why did you drink so much..."

Shao Hongying's pretty face held a hint of resentment, her cheeks puffed out slightly, and her pouting cherry lips made one want to taste them—she was incredibly cute.

She pursed her red lips, smoothed her smooth hair that cascaded down her chest with her delicate hand, tossed it gently, and leaned against the soft headboard.

Once Shao Hongying had moved away from her phone and her entire upper body came into view, Mo Xie finally saw her attire for the evening. Her face was free of any makeup, snow-white and radiant, with long eyelashes fluttering slightly, eyes like autumn water, a delicate nose and cherry lips, as if sculpted by the hand of a god. Such beauty was breathtaking.

Her fiery red hair was casually draped behind her head, like a blazing flame, and as smooth and silky as satin.

Under the light, her skin shimmered with a subtle glow, as white and delicate as mutton fat jade.

She leaned comfortably against the headboard, her head slightly raised, like a noble and languid cat, exuding the charm of a mature woman.

Below is a swan-like long neck, delicate collarbones, and two slender straps hanging on rounded shoulders.

Upon closer inspection, Mo Xie noticed that his master's wife was wearing a red lace nightgown tonight. The thin fabric clung tightly to her delicate body, revealing her curves and alluring figure, all of which were assaulting Mo Xie's senses.

Especially those two solid and massive mountain peaks, with two hints of pink shimmering on the snow-capped summits, and a deep ridge and ravine amidst the fair and delicate landscape, seem to be full of allure, making one want to bury oneself in the valley!

A thin blanket covered her round, wide hips, but it wasn't hard to imagine that underneath were a pair of snow-white, straight, and slender legs, as well as a pair of exquisite and delicate three-legged lotus feet. I really wanted to lift the blanket and find out.

Looking at his master's wife's cool yet fiery attire, especially the glimpse of spring in her hair, Mo Xie's Adam's apple bobbed, and he quietly shifted his gaze away.

There's nothing I can do. Even if he doesn't have those kinds of thoughts, I'm still a normal man, after all...

"Uh... actually, the reason Master drinks so much at night is because of you, Master's wife."

"because I?"

Sigh, Master, this is all I can do for you now. The rest is up to you...

Mo Xie glanced at Zu Xingyi lying on the sofa, sighed inwardly, and nodded as he looked at Shao Hongying's bewildered expression on his phone screen.

"Yes, Master said he was very sorry to you several times, that he felt very apologetic and wanted your forgiveness, which is why he kept drinking alone."

Upon hearing this, a gentle expression appeared on Shao Hongying's pretty face, but she still complained.

"Even if you want my forgiveness, there's no need to drink like this... Never mind, have your master call me after he wakes up tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Mo Xie smiled and quickly nodded in agreement.

"Okay, it's settled then. I'll talk to my master about it tomorrow!"

After thinking for a moment, he added a sentence.

"Actually, you can't blame Master. After all, this is not something he can decide. I believe you understand, Master's wife."

"Of course I know, I'm just a little angry... By the way, Xiao Xie, when are you coming to the capital to visit your master's wife again?"

Shao Hongying didn't want to talk about this topic anymore. Suddenly, she brought her pretty face close to the phone screen, her beautiful eyes revealing an expectant look, as if they were twinkling with starlight.

"This one……"

Mo Xie scratched his cheek, revealing a slightly troubled expression. He really couldn't find the time to go to the capital afterward.

Seeing Mo Xie's troubled expression, Shao Hongying pouted her cherry lips and said in a low voice.

"Xiao Xie, I don't have many friends, but you are a very close person to me. I am very happy when I am with you... If all else fails, I can come to you."

Seeing his master's wife's aggrieved and dejected appearance, Mo Xie's heart clenched, and a sharp pain struck him. He quickly said...

"Okay, come find me when you have time, I'll keep you company."

"Hehe, it's a deal then, no backing out. If I'm in a good mood, I'll introduce you to my best friend; she's been wanting to meet you for ages!"

Upon hearing this, Shao Hongying's sad expression vanished, her beautiful eyes curving into crescent shapes, and she immediately broke into a bright and cheerful smile.

Mo Xie shook his head helplessly, a slight smile curving his lips.

"Okay, then... goodnight?"

"Okay, goodnight!" (End of Chapter)
