Chapter 449: Opportunity, Go with the Flow
Chen An looked into Qin Qiao's eyes affectionately, "Qiaojie, you have always taken care of me, not sparing me food and clothing, but also wanting me to look decent. After so much hard work, we are now more successful than most people, and I am also capable of supporting you."
Qin Qiao's head was completely confused at this time, and she could no longer tell what was true or false. Facing Chen An's affectionate eyes and moving words, she was immersed in them and couldn't extricate herself.
Chen An reached into his pocket and took out a beautiful little box from the system space. "Qiaojie, this is a gift I specially prepared for you. I wanted to wait until our second anniversary in a few days to give it to you as a surprise, but I think it's more appropriate to take it out now."
Qin Qiao stared blankly at the exquisitely carved jade pendant in the box. The plum blossoms on it were lifelike. She firmly believed that this was the most beautiful jade pendant she had ever seen in her life.
"Wow, so beautiful..." The woman who was closer to the two of them couldn't help but exclaim in envy.
Chen An took out the jade pendant and gently helped Qin Qiao put it on. He said softly, "From the first time I saw you, your perseverance and courage deeply attracted me. For this reason, I specially chose the plum blossom, hoping to use it to witness our love."
As a person with master-level writing skills, it was extremely easy for Chen An to write a story introduction that was meaningful and substantial. These words made countless people fantasize about it.
This scene moved many people and at the same time, they felt a strong desire in their hearts, wishing they could be in Qin Qiao's position, which would be so happy.
Qin Qiao had been through sadness, anger, loneliness and helplessness, and now this huge surprise happened. She couldn't control her emotions at all. She just wanted to thank this man, so she took the initiative to hug Chen An's neck and kissed him boldly.
Feeling Qin Qiao's movements, Chen An cooperated with her guidance and was very happy at the same time. He liked this level of awkwardness very much.
Zhu Suosuo looked at the scene in front of her with surprise, and couldn't help thinking that the two of them had been lovers for a long time.
How she hoped that one day, there would be a man willing to treat her like this, and she would marry him without hesitation.
But then she felt something was wrong. She was closest to the two of them and could see the most clearly. Qin Qiao looked very uncomfortable, as if she was in love for the first time...
Even with the guidance of the veteran driver Chen An, Qin Qiao could only barely hold on for about a minute.
I don’t know who started clapping first, but the others followed suit. Qin Qiao then realized what she had just done and felt extremely embarrassed.
Chen An clasped his hands together and said with a smile, "Thank you all for your blessings." Of course he would not forget that couple.
Seeing Chen An's actions, no matter how awkward the two were, they couldn't just turn hostile. They could only applaud against their will to express their blessings, otherwise those words they had said before would be like a slap in their faces.
Qin Qiao was immersed in happiness at the moment. She just glanced at the two of them and ignored them.
In this situation, how could there be no wine? Amid the cheering of the crowd, the two drank from the wedding cup, and then sang a little love song together. They seemed to have become the protagonists of the scene. Those who didn't know would have thought that today was their engagement party.
Zhao Xiaohong and Li Hao were completely reduced to background boards. Out of sight, out of mind. Zhao Xiaohong escaped from the box under the pretext of peeing, and Li Hao quickly followed.
At the bathroom door, Zhao Xiaohong washed her hands while gritting her teeth and admonishing, "No matter what, you must come back to me with honor."
Li Hao was also a little upset. It had been a long time since he had suffered such humiliation in any occasion, either at home or outside. If he didn't get back at Zhao Xiaohong, he couldn't think straight.
Li Hao called the waiter and whispered a few words to him. Not long after the two returned to the box, the waiter came in with some foreign wine.
Li Hao didn't hesitate to pick up two bottles of wine and stood in front of the two men. "Brother Chen, this is the first time you meet our classmates. As Qin Qiao's fellow countryman and classmate, I will take on the task of accompanying you."
Seeing that no one spoke, Li Hao felt even more unhappy. In previous class reunions, he almost always responded to everyone's calls.
"We are so happy today, so we can't do without wine. In this case, I, as the host, will have the final say. I must accompany you well, otherwise no one will forgive me."
Chen An understood that this was the last level of the night, and it was exactly what he had thought. He was just thinking about how to consolidate his achievements, and then the opportunity came to him.
Before Chen An could speak, Qin Qiao refused coldly, "Xiao An is driving, so it's not convenient for him to drink."
"Qin Qiao, a woman can't block a man's drink."
Before Qin Qiao could say anything, Zhao Xiaohong's voice came over, "Qin Qiao, when men are drinking, women should try not to interrupt."
Li Hao took the opportunity to tease, "If Brother Chen can't drink, let him decide for himself."
Qin Qiao saw the reactions of the two men and knew exactly what their purpose was. When they were together before, Li Hao was a heavy drinker and looking at his current attitude, he was obviously very confident. Naturally, she was worried.
Chen An touched Qin Qiao's shoulder and said with a smile, "Since Brother Li is so interested, I can't spoil his mood..."
Qin Qiao had no idea how much Chen An could drink, but seeing how confident he was, she felt a lot more relieved.
Li Hao was a little wary at first. After all, people in Northeast China are famous for their ability to drink. However, Qin Qiao's concern gave him a boost of confidence.
He took the initiative and poured a glass for each of them, saying with a smile, "Brother Chen is straightforward. I'll toast you three glasses first." He then picked up the glass and drank it all, receiving a round of cheers.
Chen An also picked up the cup and drank it directly.
Li Hao clapped his hands and praised, "You have a good alcohol tolerance."
Chen An sneered in his heart, you are still a little naive to flatter others.
Both of them used cups that held about one and a half liang of liquid. After quickly finishing a bottle of 40-proof whiskey, Li Hao looked only a little tipsy, while Chen An seemed to be still sober, though his tongue was obviously a little tied when he spoke.
Li Hao became even more confident and continued to praise him, as if he was afraid that Chen An would stop drinking halfway and he would be embarrassed if he couldn't see him.
He casually picked up two bottles of wine and said with a smile, "I haven't had such a good drink in a long time. Let's continue."
Chen An waved his hand and said, "I'll go to the bathroom first and continue when I come back."
Li Hao was not in a hurry either. Anyone with a discerning eye could see the difference in the two men's alcohol tolerance. Qin Qiao was a little angry, thinking that the little bastard only knew how to show off. However, she was still worried and wanted to get up and follow him.
Li Hao teased, "I know you two are in love, but you don't have to stick together even when you go to the bathroom."
"It's okay, Qiao'er..." Chen An walked a little unsteadily, waving his hands as if to show off his ability...
Zhu Suosuo felt helpless. This was a common problem among men. They would suffer for the sake of saving face. She pushed Luo Jiaming and winked, wanting him to go over and take a look.
But it was destined to be a blind look. Luo Jiaming didn't know how to drink, but he couldn't help but drink two glasses today because he was happy. Now the alcohol was taking effect and he was already drunk. Everything he saw was double, and he didn't understand what Zhu Suosuo meant at all. He thought she was persuading him not to drink.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm not drunk..."
Zhu Suosuo had the urge to cover her face...
