My Little Sweet Wife Chapter 102
Advertisement
Jiang Ruolan knew that Xian Zihao wouldn't let her off. She looked at a glass full of white wine and took a deep breath. She raised her eyes to meet his unfathomable gaze.
This morning, she thought Xian Zihao was a good person. Oh, how wrong she was. She was so stupid and naive.
Wasn't he trying to embarrass her? If Jiang Ruolan rejected this glass of wine in front of so many people, it would be a real embarrassment!
Jiang Ruolan steeled her heart, raised her glass, and smiled at him politely. "President Xian, it is an honor for me to meet you for the first time! Then, I will be the first to toast!"
Then, she drank the entire glass of wine as fast as she could.
When she put down the glass, she choked and coughed uncomfortably. Simultaneously, the applause was heard from all over the table, "Miss Jiang has good alcohol tolerance!"
Xian Zihao, on the other hand, calmly raised his glass and looked at Jiang Ruolan's face, which was gradually turning red due to alcohol. He lifted the glass to his lips and finished it in one gulp.
Everyone laughed.
Director Lang took advantage of this alcohol exchange and stood up from his seat, saying to Xian Zihao, "President Xian, this is a great honor for all of us. Thank you for coming here even though you are very busy. We must have more interaction in the future."
Xian Zihao stood up. His gaze had left Jiang Ruolan, and he reluctantly replied to Director Lang, "Director Lang, please show respect to yourself. We are learning from each other and improving together."
Director Lang sat back in his seat and greeted everyone with a laugh, "Everyone, let's eat. The delicacy on this table is unique in F City. President Xian, please eat."

Xian Zihao took the plate closer to him in an indifferent manner and put the food in his mouth.
Jiang Ruolan, on the other hand, was savoring the taste of dim sum.
"Right, President Xian, there is something I need to discuss with you." Director Lang suddenly spoke with a sincere expression on his face.
Xian Zihao took the cup of wine handed by the person sitting next to him and said with a smile, "Director Lang, tonight we will only enjoy food and not talk about business!"
Director Lang was stunned. He kept his words to himself and laughed awkwardly. "Right, right. You are right. We should enjoy the delicacy tonight."
Although Jiang Ruolan didn't know what business Director Lang had with Xian Zihao but judging from his attitude, Xian Zihao probably didn't plan to answer his questions and probably didn't care about it at all. It probably wouldn't be a good thing either.
This feast lasted until around 11: 00 pm and the atmosphere had reached an extraordinary level. Xian Zihao received the wine from the crowd with great politeness without any obvious deterrence.
While everyone was happily drinking, Jiang Ruolan took advantage of this situation to sneak out of the private room and go to the table outside to eat.
At the dining table, since the people she came in contact with were all important people, she didn't dare to make a single sound as she sat there eating. She was really stifled.
It was only after eating some food at the outside table, Jiang Ruolan was finally full. However, the Maotai wine she drank earlier started causing her head to feel dizzy.
Her alcohol tolerance was average. After so many years of socializing, one glass of white wine was nothing to her. Still, because she drank the wine too hastily, it made her stomach feel uncomfortable.

The more uncomfortable she felt, the more she cursed Xian Zihao in her heart.
When Jiang Ruolan said that they had just met for the first time, it was because she wanted to make them both not feel awkward. She didn't want to reveal their relationship, but who would have thought that Xian Zihao would actually use this opportunity to share wine with her!
The time was already 11: 45 pm. They had been drinking for so long. If they continued to drink like this, would Xian Zihao be able to take it?
This was also the first time she had seen Xian Zihao's behavior when he was at a social gathering. One glass of Maotai Liquor was terrible enough for her. Still, when she thought about how Xian Zihao had been toasted over and over again, she became uncomfortable.
Jiang Ruolan suddenly got up and pushed open the door of the private room. As she was about to enter, her legs suddenly froze, and she almost collided with a figure about to walk out.
She widened her eyes and felt cold running down her spine when she saw the person. Jiang Ruolan immediately stepped back to give him a way out, but who knew that the man suddenly fell towards her.
"Sigh, Xian Zihao…" Jiang Ruolan hurriedly raised her hand to support Xian Zihao, who was leaning against her body. Suddenly, she heard him whisper in her ear, "Don't talk, help me out."
His voice was light and unique, and it carried the scent of alcohol, blowing against her ears. Jiang Ruolan understood his intentions and immediately supported him as they walked out.
When the people in the room saw that she helped Xian Zihao out, they all wore an expression as though they were accustomed to seeing such a common sight and continued to drink. They didn't intend to stop them.
Only an idiot would go and stop them.
As soon as Jiang Ruolan helped Xian Zihao out of the hotel, the man who had been leaning on her gently pushed her away.
She let go and watched as Xian Zihao walked to the car parked by the side of the road. Although he wasn't as drunk as he pretended to be, his steps were still a little unsteady.
Jiang Ruolan looked at his messy footsteps and sighed.
Xian Zihao suddenly stopped and looked back at her indifferently.
"You drank too much." She said, "Would you like a driver to drive you back to the hotel? You can't drive in this condition. It's not safe."
