Chapter 140: Chapter 140 Da Lang Takes His Medicine

Lin Hanrui booked a nearby restaurant, and when Chen Ningxi arrived at the private room, Cheng Qiaobei was not there. She asked the two, "Where is he?"

Liang Lei said, "He went out to take a call. Didn’t you see him in the hallway?"

Chen Ningxi shook her head and placed her handbag on the chair behind her. Liang Lei pushed the menu in front of Chen Ningxi, "The three of us ordered four dishes, so you decide on the rest. I want the sweet pancakes as my main dish; they’re delicious here."

"Really? I’ll try them too," Chen Ningxi said, flipping through the menu. Lin Hanrui stepped out to call the waiter in, and Chen Ningxi added sesame bean paste and butterfly shrimp to their order.

The waiter asked her, "What about drinks?"

Chen Ningxi responded, "Do you have Dayao?"

Waiter: "Yes."

Chen Ningxi: "Orange one, please."

The waiter bumped into Cheng Qiaobei as he returned, and Chen Ningxi immediately sensed he was in a bad mood.

"When did you get here?" Cheng Qiaobei quickly put on a smile, sat next to Chen Ningxi, and moved her handbag from behind to the chair beside them. "Slide back and sit more comfortably."

Chen Ningxi replied, "I just got here."

The couple held hands under the table. Chen Ningxi said, "I ordered sesame bean paste and butterfly shrimp. Let’s see if they taste good here. If they do, we’ll come often."

His irritation seemed to dissipate the moment he saw her.

Cheng Qiaobei decided to joke, "Sounds good to me. We’ll just get Boss Lin to treat us whenever we want to eat."

"Once or twice is fine, but do you think Boss Lin will agree so often? Right, Liang Lei?" Chen Ningxi smiled meaningfully. Liang Lei nudged Lin Hanrui with her elbow, "My best friend is here, you can’t be stingy. You have to treat us."

Lin Hanrui immediately agreed, "Of course, I have to treat you. Even if I don’t treat my brother, I’ve got to treat Ningxi."

Cheng Qiaobei said, "You’re pretty good, aren’t you?"

Lin Hanrui winked at Cheng Qiaobei, "You taught me that a girlfriend needs to be coaxed, remember?"

The two finally seized the opportunity. The couple exchanged looks and spoke in unison, "Girlfriend."

Cheng Qiaobei chuckled, "Are you planning to make it public?"

It seemed the topic hit a sore spot as someone said sourly, "I’ve always been open. I don’t know why someone doesn’t want to be."

"What? Who are you pointing at?" Liang Lei glared at him, "If it works, good. If not, let’s break it off."

Lin Hanrui immediately yielded, "No, it works, it works for sure." He gestured to the two, "Do you know what I am?"

Chen Ningxi shook her head. Cheng Qiaobei had already sensed that his following words would be uncivil, so he reminded him, "Think before you speak."

Lin Hanrui rested his head on Liang Lei’s shoulder, wearing an enjoyment expression, "I am Miss Liang’s exclusive servant..." Chen Ningxi’s eyes widened until she heard the last syllable, "...vant."

Chen Ningxi looked at Liang Lei with subtly raised eyebrows, you’re something else.

Liang Lei brushed her bangs aside, just barely satisfactory.

Yet about not making it public, it was unclear how Liang Lei brainwashed Lin Hanrui, yet he was utterly willing.

The private room door opened, and the waiter began to serve the dishes, "All the dishes are here. If you need anything, there’s a bell by the door."

Lin Hanrui said, "Miss, please help close the door. Thank you."

The lady closed the door.

The two gentlemen at the table almost simultaneously served food to the ladies beside them, and Chen Ningxi and Liang Lei exchanged smiles. Of course, good friends should share the same boyfriend standards.

Cheng Qiaobei served Chen Ningxi another sesame bean paste, feeling that the Dayao was chilled. "It’s a bit cold; wait a bit before drinking it."

Chen Ningxi said, "It’s fine. It’s hot, so a cold drink is refreshing."

"No way. It’s too cold, and you might get a stomachache again tonight. Did you forget how I had to rub your tummy half the night last time?" Cheng Qiaobei firmly disagreed, moving the Dayao to the other side where Chen Ningxi couldn’t reach it.

He poured her some hot water, "Drink some water first."

Liang Lei saw the beautiful side of marriage in them, but more people around her experienced marriage’s other side: triviality, troubles, quarrels, and indifference.

Lin Hanrui remembered something and asked Cheng Qiaobei, "How come you had time to visit me today? Isn’t work busy?"

Cheng Qiaobei paused his chopsticks, "...finished it."

Chen Ningxi noticed his reaction but didn’t press further.

Cheng Qiaobei and Lin Hanrui each drank five bottles of beer, and Cheng Qiaobei called for a designated driver. Chen Ningxi, observing the car behind, pondered.

Judging by his drinking capacity from the last time he ate at her home, five bottles of beer shouldn’t be a problem. However, today, after five bottles, he was drunk and almost stumbled out of the private room. Luckily, she was there to stabilize him.

After paying the designated driver, Chen Ningxi supported Cheng Qiaobei towards the building entrance.

The vast sky, moon like a scythe, and the silent gingko trees swaying gently in the breeze illuminated the way for those returning home.

Chen Ningxi swiped open the door and led him inside, saying as they walked, "We’re almost home, hang in there."

Once inside the elevator, Cheng Qiaobei released a deep breath, stood upright, and said, "I’m fine. I can walk on my own."

Seeing him still swaying, Chen Ningxi worried he’d fall again, quickly embracing his waist. "Stay still; we’re almost home."

Back home, Cheng Qiaobei flopped onto the bed, closed his eyes, covered his eyes with his arm, and breathlessly called, "Ningxi, Ningxi... wife..."

Chen Ningxi went to the kitchen to prepare a cup of hangover remedy and brought it over, "Coming, coming."

Cheng Qiaobei lifted his eyelids to look at her, "What is it?"

In this scenario, Chen Ningxi recalled a classic scene from one of the Four Great Classical Novels, the more she thought, the harder it was to hold her laughter.

She shook with laughter, curling her lips, "Husband... time to take your medicine."

Cheng Qiaobei sat up slightly with her support, "What is it? It’s all dark, are you trying to poison me to inherit my Ant Check Later?"

Chen Ningxi sniffled, holding back her laughter, "What poison, it’s a hangover remedy, good for your stomach and intestines."

Cheng Qiaobei took the bowl and downed it in one go, placing it on the bedside and pulled Chen Ningxi into his arms, holding her waist, and marveling at her profile, "Wife, how can you be so beautiful?"

Chen Ningxi giggled from the ticklish sensation on her waist, squirming to escape, "Cheng Qiaobei, stop using this as an excuse to fool around and let go."

Cheng Qiaobei ignored her, rubbing his nose in the nook of her neck, "Dear lady, submit to me."

Marriage needs a touch of playfulness in the bedroom, and a bit of role-playing isn’t a bad thing.

Chen Ningxi’s eyes were filled with enchanting charm as she half-heartedly unbuttoned his shirt. However, having just taken the hangover remedy, his mouth was still bitter. She turned her face away but was caught by him, drunk with passion, who tilted her chin back, his dark, dangerous eyes scrutinizing her.

Suddenly, he knelt, unbuttoning his shirt before her, revealing a muscular physique before slowly lowering himself onto her...

The night was tantalizing; they entwined passionately, fervently seeking to merge their bodies entirely.
