If the confession fails, chase her bestie

Is this really love?

Li Yuan saw Zhong Tingyue's complex expression and remained silent. He gently hugged her in his arms, stared at her confused eyes, and asked seriously.

"Xiaoyue, I really don't want to lose you. Don't leave me, okay?"

Zhong Tingyue's body trembled suddenly when she heard Li Yuan's words. Looking at his profile, she wanted to ask a question in her heart.

"What about them?"

"Will you give up on them?"

But she didn't ask this question in her heart in the end. She was afraid that if she asked this question, the two of them would have no chance at all.

Zhong Tingyue was silent for a long time before she uttered a word.

"Senior, how can I continue to believe in you?"

Li Yuan was stunned after hearing this.

Yes, now I am a complete scumbag in the eyes of everyone.

Li Yuan said self-deprecatingly: "Little Moon, not to mention you, even I don't know how to believe in myself."

"I just want to answer you one sentence, time will be a witness, what I said to you that day, three lives and three worlds, ten miles of peach blossoms, will always be valid."

Zhong Tingyue looked at Li Yuan deeply, and said "hmm" in a voice that Li Yuan couldn't hear.

The atmosphere in the living room was silent for a while.

Just at this time, the voice of mother-in-law Gu Lanxin came from the kitchen.

"Li Yuan, Little Moon, the meal is ready, come and wash your hands and eat."

Hearing Gu Lanxin's voice, Li Yuan and Zhong Tingyue both looked relaxed and stood up at the same time.

Li Yuan reached out and held Zhong Tingyue's hand, smiling slightly, "Little Moon, come together."

Zhong Tingyue nodded and said nothing.

...

Gu Lanxin set a large table of dishes, which was extremely rich.

There are famous dishes in Suzhou, such as squirrel mandarin fish, cherry meat, spicy chicken, West Lake beef soup, etc.

Gu Lanxin took off her kitchen robe, and her plump figure suddenly appeared, looking at Li Yuan with expectant eyes.

"Xiao Li, try Auntie's cooking skills."

"Auntie, the dishes you cook are too rich. Just looking at the appearance of the dishes, they must be delicious."

Li Yuan answered seriously, picked up the chopsticks, first picked up a piece of cherry meat, and put it in Zhong Tingyue's bowl.

"Xiao Yueyue, Auntie cooks all the dishes you like, eat more."

Zhong Tingyue didn't expect that Li Yuan would eat by himself, but picked up the dishes for herself first, which reminded her of the first time they ate in the cafeteria, and he also took the initiative to pick up the dishes for herself first.

"Thank you!" Zhong Tingyue replied in a mosquito-like voice.

Seeing this, Gu Lanxin opened her eyes and smiled: "Xiaoyue, Xiao Li is really considerate to you. Xiao Li, you should try it too."

Li Yuan also picked up a piece of cherry meat and put it in his mouth. It was indeed sweet and sour, sweet but not greasy.

"Auntie, the dishes you cook are really delicious."

Gu Lanxin smiled and said, "If it tastes good, eat more."

"By the way, Xiao Li, can you drink?"

Li Yuan was stunned and didn't understand what he meant, but he nodded honestly.

"It's good to drink." Gu Lanxin smiled and took a bottle of red wine and three high-heeled glasses from the wine cabinet.

"Come, drink some red wine with auntie."

"This seems to be some Lafite red wine, which your uncle brought back from Gaul. I think it tastes pretty good. You should try it too."

As he said, he skillfully took the bottle opener, opened the red wine, and poured it into the high wine glass.

Li Yuan did not say "I'm driving, I can't drink", he smelled something, this is his cheap mother-in-law helping him.

If he guessed correctly, after dinner, Gu Lanxin would most likely use "I'm drinking, I can't drive" as an excuse to prevent him from leaving.

Li Yuan was secretly excited, and his impression of Gu Lanxin became even better.

With such a "sensible" mother-in-law, playing a supporting role, it is just around the corner for him and Zhong Tingyue to restore their relationship.

Li Yuan took the initiative to raise the red wine in front of him and looked at Gu Lanxin, "Auntie, I toast you."

Gu Lanxin saw that Li Yuan was very polite, raised the wine glass with one hand, and at the same time handed a small glass of red wine to Zhong Tingyue.

"Little Moon, today is a rare day, let's drink a glass together."

Zhong Tingyue looked at the red wine pushed by her mother, her expression was very confused, why did she have to drink it herself?

Gu Lanxin seemed to have anticipated her daughter's reaction and explained with a smile.

"Xiaoyueliang, I heard from health experts that red wine is good for beauty. Drinking a little red wine at night can make your skin better. You should drink some too."

Li Yuan almost couldn't help laughing, and his eyes looking at Gu Lanxin became softer.

What a treasure mother-in-law, a gold medal assistant.

It was the first time he heard that a mother tried every means to persuade her daughter to drink.

Zhong Tingyue glanced at Gu Lanxin who was swearing, and then secretly glanced at Li Yuan who was smiling, nodded, and took the red wine.

Gu Lanxin smiled, "Come on, Xiao Li, Xiaoyueliang, let's toast together as a family."

Li Yuan followed up with a sentence: "Auntie is right, let's drink together as a family."

Zhong Tingyue felt something strange when she heard her mother and Li Yuan say "family" in unison, as if she had noticed something.

She picked up the wine glass, clinked them together, and tasted the red wine. The taste was not astringent, but a sour and sweet feeling lingered in her throat.

Gu Lanxin picked up the chopsticks again and picked up some food for Li Yuan, "Xiao Li, eat more, don't be so reserved."

Li Yuan was speechless. This seemed to be his home, right?

Why, I felt like a guest?

The three of them ate food and drank red wine at the same time, because Gu Lanxin, the gold medal assistant, kept urging them to drink.

After a while, a bottle of 750 ml red wine was drunk by the three of them.

Zhong Tingyue's alcohol tolerance was average. It was her first time to drink red wine. After two glasses of red wine, her face was flushed and she was a little drunk.

Gu Lanxin's face also flushed slightly, adding a little color to her beautiful skin.

"Xiao Li, you have a good alcohol tolerance. Open another bottle."

Zhong Tingyue heard that she wanted to drink more, and hurriedly persuaded: "Mom, you have already drunk a lot, don't drink anymore."

Gu Lanxin smiled and replied: "Red wine is not intoxicating. If you want to drink, you have to drink to your heart's content. Let's continue drinking."

As she said that, she got up and took another bottle of red wine and poured it for Zhong Tingyue and Li Yuan.

"Auntie is happy today, Xiaoyueliang, don't look so sad, smile more, and drink a little with mom."

Zhong Tingyue's cheeks were flushed, and there was already a hint of drunkenness in her eyes. She pursed her lips, forced a smile on her face, and replied helplessly.

"Mom, drink less!"

Gu Lanxin ignored Zhong Tingyue's admonition, raised her wine glass, looked at Li Yuan who was sitting on the side, and her intentions in her words became more obvious.

"Hehe, it's okay. Today, I met my uncle, and I'm happy to be a mother."

"Come on, Xiao Li, let's toast."

"In the Magic City, I will leave Xiaoyueliang to you to take care of in the future. You must not bully her. You must be more tolerant of her, accompany her more, and make her happy every day."

"Xiao Li, can you do it?"

My mother-in-law said so. At this moment, in this situation, what else can Li Yuan say? Naturally, he agreed without hesitation.

"Auntie, don't worry. I am 100% sincere to Xiaoyueliang. I will never let her suffer any grievances. I will always stay by her side, accompany her, protect her, and make her happy and cheerful every day."

After making the promise, Li Yuan picked up the wine glass and drank a large glass of red wine.

After hearing what Li Yuan said, Gu Lanxin nodded with satisfaction and took a big sip.

"Xiao Li, Auntie believes that you can do what you say."

Listening to her mother selling herself out while drinking and chatting, Zhong Tingyue's heart was pounding and she snorted, "Mom!"

Gu Lanxin blinked at Zhong Tingyue and smiled, "Come on, eat more food."

...

After nearly an hour, the three of them had eaten and drunk enough, and all three bottles of Lafite red wine had been finished.

The red wine didn't feel too strong, but it was very strong. Li Yuan drank more than a bottle himself. With his alcohol tolerance, he felt a little tipsy.

As it was her first time to drink red wine, Zhong Tingyue was already drunk, with seductive eyes and a drunken look.

She kept staring at Li Yuan with her peripheral vision, as if she had thousands of words to say to Li Yuan.

After decades of training, Gu Lanxin's alcohol tolerance was better than Li Yuan had imagined, and she was still very sober, as if nothing had happened.
