Mesmerizing Ghost Doctor Chapter 2686

Chapter 2686: Slammed Down
“In fact, you are much more attractive than the people on the street but only slightly less attractive than we are.” Xie Yutang said, but as soon as he said it, he felt as if something was wrong. Just as he was about to speak again, Guo Xinning, who sat next to him, burst out laughing.
“I’m sorry, I couldn’t help myself.” His lips remained curved in a smile. After catching a glimpse of Feng Jiu’s helpless look, he realised why she was so concerned about the Xie siblings.
The siblings’ relationship with him didn’t change because of how strong she was; they still got along in a casual way. Perhaps it was the way they interacted casually and naturally that caused Feng Jiu to treat them differently.
“Hey, I didn’t mean that either, I said… How shall I put it!” He was so incoherent that he had no idea how to speak.
“Alright, I get what you mean. Stop talking and let’s eat! This meal is starting to get cold.” Feng Jiu gestured, poured a cup of wine from the wine pot, and then saw Xie Yutang pushing his wine cup towards her.
When she looked over, she saw his timid face. “I want to drink, too.”
“How much wine can you drink? Are you able to drink?” She remembered drinking fruit wine at the Ruan family’s banquet, not these.
“Yes, of course, I can. I’m a man.” He said this while puffing out his chest.
“Mother told you not to drink outside.” Xie Shisi continued, “Even if you do drink, you can only drink so much. If you are drunk, you will get into trouble outside.”
Feng Jiu nodded. “Mm hmm, that makes perfect sense. Drink a cup, then! Not too much.” She poured him a cup and gave him a taste.
…
Xie Yutang grinned. “One cup is fine.”
Guo Xinning smiled as he placed a piece of meat in Feng Jiu’s bowl. “Try it. These are all the restaurant’s specialities. They also have some cakes. Let’s order some pastries after the meal.”
“Many thanks.” Feng Jiu began to move the chopsticks after thanking him.
Several of them enjoyed the night view after eating and chatting. After dinner, they were served several plates of cakes. Xie Shisi couldn’t help but remark after tasting the cakes, “This pastry is delicious. I’ll bring home some for my parents to try.”
Guo Xinning noticed that Feng Jiu seems to enjoy the cakes as well. “Since you’re leaving tomorrow, I’ll go back to tell them later so that you can get it first thing in the morning. It’s fresher and more flavourful.”
“That will be great. Thank you, Big Brother Guo.” Xie Shisi gave thanks with a smile.
“You’re welcome, it’s just some cakes. ” He looked at Feng Jiu and said, “You have to go on your way tomorrow. Don’t be out too late tonight. Let’s go back and have an early rest.”
“Mm hmm.” Feng Jiu nodded. Since everyone had had enough food, she was ready to leave.
Guo Xinning motioned for them to move ahead, then checked out and ordered some cakes on his way out.
A man who reeked of alcohol slammed into Xie Shisi as she took the first step downstairs. She tumbled down the stairs in an instant.
“Ah!” She cried out in shock and lost her balance.
“Little Sister!” “Xie Yutang reached out to pull her but was unable to do so. Fortunately, Feng Jiu noticed and quickly reached out to grab her hand, preventing her from falling down the stairs.
“Woo! I was scared to death!”
Xie Shisi patted her chest and exhaled softly after regaining her balance. But before they could get back at the man, the drunk man pointed at them and yelled at them. “Walking without looking where you’re going, are you seeking death?”
