Becoming The Darling Of An Imperial Bigshot After Breaking Off Her Marriage - Chapter 21

Chapter 21: Drunk in the Bar

Ye Ningxuan and Wu Taotao came to the bar.

But… this was a bar?

Although the lights were dazzling, they weren’t as noisy. The music was upbeat, but it was soothing as well. The wine was enticing. The gentle waiter and the handsome bartender were the most beautiful embellishments.

Wu Taotao was extremely excited and quickly shook Ye Ningxuan. “I didn’t expect the bar to be like this. It’s completely different from what I saw on television.”

Ye Ningxuan glanced at Yang Rui. Yang Rui was the one who brought them over. She probably didn’t dare to bring them to a bar that was too wild.

“I can’t drink. Do you have anything sweet?” Wu Taotao asked the bartender.

The bartender smiled and nodded and mixed her a cocktail called Honey for her to taste.

Wu Taotao took a small sip and her eyes lit up. She immediately said to Ye Ningxuan, “It’s so delicious. Try it.”

“Mix me one, too,” Ye Ningxuan said to the bartender.

Under the ambiguous light, Ye Ningxuan’s face was breathtakingly beautiful. The bartender couldn’t help but blush when he saw her. In all his time at the bar, he had never seen such a beautiful woman.

With a flustered nod, he quickly mixed her a glass and gallantly brought it to her. “Enjoy, my lady.”

Ye Ningxuan picked it up and took a sip. It was indeed sweet and tasted good.

“Are there any others with similar flavors?” Wu Taotao asked.

“Yes, there are many with similar flavors.”

“Make us one of each,” Wu Taotao requested.

The bartender advised, “But you two have never had a drink before. You’ll get drunk easily.”

“No, it’s so delicious. I definitely won’t get drunk.” Wu Taotao was full of confidence.

The bartender looked troubled. If such a beautiful woman got drunk, these men in the bar would probably start fighting.

From the moment Ye Ningxuan entered, many men around her kept looking over.

Even men with dates couldn’t keep their eyes from wandering.

Still, he was only a bartender. When his customers demanded it, he had no choice but to comply.

Wu Taotao and Ye Ningxuan drank glass after glass.

Because it tasted sweet, the two of them didn’t think too much about it and just drank it like it was a beverage.

Unexpectedly, although it was fine to drink the wine at that time, it had an after-effect.

Soon their cheeks were flushed, their vision blurred, and their heads began to swim.

Ye Ningxuan put down her wine glass, shook her head, and said to Wu Taotao, “Taotao, I can’t… I can’t drink anymore. I’m drunk.”

“I’m not drunk. I’m fine.” Wu Taotao smiled foolishly and continued drinking.

Ye Ningxuan pinched her wrist. She was really a little drunk. She felt the world spin and her feet felt like they were stepping on cotton.

When the men in the bar saw that such a beautiful woman was drunk, they leaned over, intending to chat her up.

If they were lucky enough to catch the eye of a beauty, they would be lucky today.

“Do you want me to have a drink with you, beauty?” the man in the suit asked with a smile.

Ye Ningxuan glanced at him and pouted her red lips. “Scram.”

The man suffered a huge blow. Although he didn’t succeed every time when hitting on girls, this was the first time he had been told to “scram”.

“That’s a terrible thing to say,” the man said angrily.

A hand on his shoulder yanked him backward and sent him staggering to the floor.

“So what if it’s unpleasant? You’re the one who came over to chat her up.”

“Brother, you’re here,” Taotao called out happily.

Ye Ningxuan saw that it was Wu Wei.

Wu Wei was tall and handsome, and his skin was slightly tanned. After spending so much time in the mountains, he looked more muscular than the people in the city.

Ye Ningxuan smiled and put her hand on his shoulder. “Wu Wei, you’re here. Taotao said you were angry. Is that true?”

Wu Wei looked at her with mixed feelings and sighed. “I’m a little angry, but I won’t be if you come back with me.”

“Okay, I’ll go back with you. Don’t be angry.” Ye Ningxuan smiled foolishly.

“Where do you plan to go?”

Suddenly, a familiar voice spoke.

Immediately after, Ye Ningxuan was pulled back. Her body went limp and she fell backward into a firm embrace.

An arm wrapped around her slim waist and set her head on his shoulder.

Ye Ningxuan looked up and saw a good-looking face.

“How handsome.” Smiling, she reached out and gently touched the man’s face.

The man didn’t expect her to suddenly act like this. He was a little stunned, and his ears turned slightly red.

“Who are you? Let go of Ningxuan.” Wu Wei quickly reached out to pull Ye Ningxuan.

But he was stopped by an approaching bodyguard.

Zhan Hanjue introduced himself coldly. “I am Zhan Hanjue, Ye Ningxuan’s man.”

With that, he bent down slightly, picked up Ye Ningxuan by the waist, and strode away with her in his arms.

“Let go of Ningxuan.” Wu Wei wanted to stop him, but he was stopped by the bodyguards and couldn’t move.

“You’d better take care of your sister,” Yang Rui advised him, then left with the bodyguards.

Wu Wei was so angry that he slammed his fist on the bar. It took him a while to calm down. He carried the drunk Wu Taotao away.

Zhan Hanjue carried Ye Ningxuan to the car.

Once inside, Ye Ningxuan wrapped herself around him and hooked her arms around his neck.

Zhan Hanjue pulled her away in disgust. “Sit obediently.”

“No.” Ye Ningxuan smiled slowly and leaned close to Zhan Hanjue again.

Zhan Hanjue had no choice but to let her lean on him.

The car swayed slightly as it turned the corner.

Ye Ningxuan’s body swayed, and her mouth rubbed against Zhan Hanjue’s chin.

Her soft, full lips brushed against his gently, making him shiver. His gaze darkened.

“It hurts.” Ye Ningxuan covered her mouth.

What was it?

Why was it a bit prickly?

Curious, she plucked at Zhan Hanjue’s face as if to study it.

Her finger gently brushed against his chin, but the feeling wasn’t obvious.

So she raised her head again and pressed her lips against his face to feel it.

Zhan Hanjue flushed with shock.

He immediately grabbed her wrist and pulled her away.

“Ye Ningxuan, don’t move.”

“It hurts. You’re hurting me,” Ye Ningxuan whined.

Zhan Hanjue could only release her.

Ye Ningxuan giggled and leaned into his arms again. She reached out and touched his chin. “I knew it. You’re amenable to persuasion but not coercion.”

“You know me well?” Zhan Hanjue’s voice was suddenly cold as he pushed her away again.

“You’re angry again.” Ye Ningxuan pouted.

Zhan Hanjue looked at her coldly. “Don’t think I’m afraid to do anything to you, Ye Ningxuan.”

It looked like he was going to have to show this woman who he really was.

“Why are you so mean?” Ye Ningxuan whined.

Soon, she smiled foolishly again and struggled to reach out a hand to touch his face.

“You’re … so good-looking. There are … stars in your eyes.”

As she spoke, she pouted her red lips slightly, closed her eyes, and slowly leaned over…
