Do You Want to Marry Me? Chapter 23

Chapter 23
Tan Siyun frowned, but she still let go of Jin Nian’s hand. Jin Nian raised her wine bottle and said, “This time, I’m toasting to you. Congratulations on your success. However, if you don’t deserve your position, you’ll suffer. You’ll have to take care of yourself from now on.” Jiang Qingchi’s face turned ashen. Jin Nian shook the last of the wine in the bottle, then splashed it on Jiang Qingchi’s expensive suit before anyone could react. “Get lost. Don’t come looking for me again.” Jiang Qingchi was in a sorry state, but he couldn’t refute it. He took a few pieces of paper and wiped the wine off his suit. He gritted his teeth and said, “Jin Nian, you were the one who insisted on doing this. Don’t regret it when you wake up!”
After saying that, he slammed the door and left. When the relatives of the Jiang family saw this, they also left in a hurry. In the end, only Jin Nian’s relatives were left, and the atmosphere fell to rock bottom. Everyone looked at each other. Most of them didn’t understand the situation and rushed forward to interrogate Jin Nian.
“Jin Nian, why are you becoming more and more immature as you grow up?” “How serious is the conflict that can’t be resolved privately? Why do you have to make a scene here? What will others think of you if word gets out?” “As elders, we all know how Jiang Qingchi usually treats you. It’s inevitable for humans to make mistakes. Must you be so unforgiving?” Jin Nian was dizzy, she heard her mother say, “That’s enough. Stop talking.” “What did Niannian do wrong?”
Jin Nian didn’t have the energy to argue with them, so she threw herself onto the sofa. Tan Siyun sent the guests away and closed the door for her. She couldn’t remember how much she had drunk. Her entire body was floating, and everything around her had double images. The number of times she had drunk alcohol since she was young could be counted with one hand. This was the first time she had drunk herself so unscrupulously. She lay on the sofa, but she felt as if she was floating on clouds. Her body was weak, and her consciousness was chaotic. It was a strange feeling.
Someone helped her up and fed her honey water. “Why are you trying to force yourself if you can’t drink it? ” The voice was cold and soft, with a lazy hoarseness. It was the voice of an adult Lu An.
Jin Nian’s eyelids were twitching, but she suddenly laughed when she heard the voice. A boy’s voice changing period was too magical. Jin Nian still remembered that when the first day of school had just started, she went to Lu An to report to school together. Strangely, he did not say a word along the way. He had lowered the brim of his hat and looked down at the ground, not even giving her a glance. Jin Nian thought that he was afraid of being scolded by the teacher because he hadn’t finished his summer homework, so he explained to him with a smile that the teachers in junior high school wouldn’t check the summer homework of the sixth grade. Later, she tried her best to make him talk, but in the end, she was shocked by his voice.
“I haven’t seen you for a month. Why is your voice so low? Hahaha!” “Lu An, does changing your voice mean that you’re an adult now?” “Can my voice change too? Will I be like you?” Lu An couldn’t take it anymore and pushed Jin Nian’s face away. “Idiot, you’re not a boy.”
“Then can you say something else so that I can listen carefully? None of my classmates have changed their voices yet. You’re the first.” Lu An pursed his lips tightly, his face flushed red. “Lu An, please, are we still friends?” “Lu An, can I treat you to ice cream after school?”
Jin Nian searched her mind for the little bit of knowledge she had seen on television and curiously pestered Lu An. “So, now that you’re an adult. Did you grow a beard too? That’s so troublesome. You have to shave before school every day. I see my dad shaving before work every day.” “Jin Nian, you’re so noisy.” “Hmph, if you don’t want to say it, then don’t say it. Let me see if your Adam’s apple has grown!”
“Give me a break, Jin Nian.”
Speechless.
Jin Nian slowly opened her eyes. A familiar face was right in front of her. Memories overlapped with reality. Jin Nian couldn’t tell if this was a dream or something else, but she completely trusted the person in front of her. “Lu An, why are you here? Are you here to copy my homework again?” Her voice was soft and even had a hint of coquettishness.
The corners of Lu An’s mouth slowly curled up into a smile. He pinched Jin Nian’s flushed face hard, trying to wake her up. “What nonsense are you talking about?” “Can you stop pinching my face? My mom said that people will drool if their faces are pinched too much. Lu An, you have to let me pinch you back today!” “Alright, you can do it.”
Lu An picked up the person who was drunk on the sofa.
