Li Fanxing was dazed. Had Sheng Yize watched her beg An Xiaxia for money?
That was the utmost humiliation for her!
“Sheng Yize…” An Xiaxia blinked. Sheng Yize then signed a check expertly and handed it to Li Fanxing with a perfect smile. “Is that enough?”
Seeing all the zeros on the check, Li Fanxing could barely look away.
She took it with trembling fingers, unable to hide the ecstatic look on her face.
An Xiaxia was looking at Sheng Yize in disbelief when she noticed that he reeked of alcohol.
An embarrassing question struck her then. Was Sheng Yize… drunk?
Li Fanxing left happily with the money without saying thank you.
Fang Shanshan and Su Xiaomo were dumbstruck. “You gave her the money just like that?”
“Yup~” Sheng Yize smiled and asked gently, “Do you want some, too?”
What?
What was going on?
“Uncle Sheng, what’s wrong with you?” Fang Shanshan asked gingerly.
Sheng Yize gave her a dazzling smile, opened his checkbook, and began to write an enormous figure again. He then stuffed the check into Fang Shanshan’s hands without explanation.
“Go buy some candy.”
An Xiaxia smacked her forehead as she realized that Sheng Yize was indeed drunk…
Sheng Yize then wrote another one and passed it to Su Xiaomo. “Go buy some candy.”
Su Xiaomo looked like she had just been struck by a thunderbolt. “No, thanks… I – I don’t eat candy.”
“I see…” Sheng Yize even looked disappointed at not being able to give away the check. After some thought, he tilted his head and said, “Then… buy some milk powder?”
“He’s drunk… just take it,” An Xiaxia said in resignation.
“Drunk?” Both Su Xiaomo and Fang Shanshan found that unbelievable.
Sheng Yize was known for being able to hold his drink. It was unfathomable that there would come a day when he would get drunk…
Su Xiaomo and Fang Shanshan left in a daze, each holding a check, while Sheng Yize and An Xiaxia remained by the pool.
An Xiaxia stared at him. “Are you going to… write me one, too?”
She’d like to have some pocket money, teehee~
Chin in hand, Sheng Yize pondered for a moment before shaking his head decisively. “No.”
Pfft —
An Xiaxia almost choked.
He had even given Li Fanxing one, but not his wife?
“You’re awful when you’re drunk…” An Xiaxia’s cheeks puffed out. “Why won’t you give me one?”
Sheng Yize said in a domineering tone, “Because I don’t want to!”
… An Xiaxia was rendered speechless by that reason.
“Fine!” An Xiaxia pursed her lips and turned to leave.
However, Sheng Yize pulled her into his arms and rubbed his chin on the top of her head like a big dog. “Don’t go…”
Sheng Yize never acted like this when he was sober.
An Xiaxia found him very adorable like this. She cleared her throat and said, “Alright, but you have to pay me!”
After a struggle, Sheng Yize lowered his head, looking like a wronged little wife. He then wrote a check and reluctantly handed it to An Xiaxia.
An Xiaxia took it cheerfully, but her face darkened when she saw the check.
One yuan!
“One yuan? Really?” An Xiaxia stared at him. “Shouldn’t there be a lot of zeros behind that one?”
Sheng Yize said like a tsundere, “Hmph, the money is for my babies’ milk powder, not for you.”
An Xiaxia felt like crying a river. She was so low on Sheng Yize’s priority list…
“What can you give me, then?”
Sheng Yize smiled, and that tear mole gave him a mesmerizing look.
“I can give you — myself.”
Something clicked in her head and An Xiaxia stood dazed on the spot. Thinking that she wasn’t convinced, Sheng Yize pulled her hand to his chest and pressed it over his heart. “There, it’s all for you.”
