Chapter 171: Chapter 171: Captured His Heart_1

After three rounds, Su Wanxia, under the guidance of Mu Yingchen, who was even newer to the game than she was, won three consecutive games against Yan Yirou and Jian Manhui.

One point for one cup of alcohol, and since each game was three points, the two of them had already downed nine cups together.

Su Wanxia couldn’t help but marvel inwardly, ’Could it be that people with high IQs all have such strong learning abilities?’ But she wasn’t exactly lacking in that department either – so why was there such a difference when she compared herself to him?

"No way, no way, how can this be? It’s too unfair," Yan Yirou complained loudly.

"What’s unfair about it? We’re all newbies here, okay? But you two have been playing Fight the Landlord for how many years now and still can’t beat the two of us," Su Wanxia said, smiling triumphantly at them.

Yan Yirou’s mouth twitched uncontrollably. These two kept claiming they were novices, but were novices really like them?

Jian Manhui massaged her temples. They had played for many years, but could they really compare to Mu Yingchen’s intelligence? At this rate, the two of them were going to be carried out horizontally.

"Wanxia, how many rounds has it been already, and you’re still claiming to be a newbie. Besides, all the alcohol on this table has gone into our stomachs. If it were you, you’d already have forgotten who you were," Jian Manhui said, frankly pulling the rug out from under her.

"Here, let me play with you," Mu Yingchen said as he stood up, intending to switch places with Su Wanxia.

Yan Yirou and Jian Manhui both stood up from the table at the same time.

"Hehehe, we have been playing for such a long time now; it’s time to sing. Come on, Manhui, let’s go pick some songs," Yan Yirou said with a chuckle, pulling Jian Manhui along towards the karaoke station.

No joke, if he played, they would definitely be leaving horizontally tonight.

And Mu Yingchen was really something too, wasn’t he overprotective? It was just a matter of letting Wanxia drink a couple of cups, right? Did he need to guard her as closely as an eagle protects its chick? At worst, she’d just get drunk again – after all, her notorious ’one cup down’ reputation was well-known.

If they could think of this, how could Su Wanxia not? Mu Yingchen was obviously just not wanting her to drink.

But it wouldn’t hurt to drink a little, would it? Now look, his one sentence had scared away Yirou and Manhui, and they couldn’t even continue playing.

She looked at Yan Yirou and Jian Manhui heading towards the karaoke station and immediately turned her head to cast a plaintive look at Mu Yingchen, who was all smiles.

Mu Yingchen instantly raised his eyebrows innocently, "They’re the ones who don’t want to play; it’s not my fault."

"That’s right, I blame you..." she glared at him.

"Hehe, how come it’s my fault now?" Mu Yingchen laughed softly.

"If it weren’t for you, we would have been having a great time playing."

"If it weren’t for me, you would have already been lying on the couch sleeping," Mu Yingchen teased with a twinkle in his eyes.

He hadn’t actually planned on joining their game, but sitting around was boring, so he came over to see how she was playing.

Who knew that with an unbeatable hand of jokers and no lower cards to deal with, she would be so indecisive about whether to call it.

With a mix of helplessness and concern, he couldn’t help but worry for her.

In fact, he was worrying for himself too.

With her level of card-playing skill, she’d definitely lose big, and when she lost, she’d have to drink, and drinking would lead to drunkenness, and drunkenness would lead to foolishness.

And when she acted foolishly, it was he who had to handle the trouble, right?

His words left Su Wanxia without a comeback since he was speaking the truth, alright then.

Having a low alcohol tolerance wasn’t her fault; it was innate, what could she do about it?

She sighed with a sense of resignation, and that’s when she suddenly realized that Mu Feng and Kang Xiaolan were singing.

She looked on enviously at the two, thinking that Kang Xiaolan was really lucky. No matter how much she had invested in pursuing Mu Feng, at least it wasn’t in vain.

She had managed to land such a warm-hearted guy after all.

"What are you thinking about?" Mu Yingchen suddenly sat down beside her.

She came back to her senses, "Hehe, I was wondering when Xiaolan started setting her sights on Mu Feng." When she had gone abroad, she hadn’t heard Xiaolan mention any interest in Mu Feng yet.

"You don’t need to worry about that. When do you recall starting to have ideas about me?" Mu Yingchen teased.

Su Wanxia’s face turned red, "Hehe," she chuckled dryly.

"Hmm? Tell me," Mu Yingchen pressed, as he had never asked her this question before.

She hummed twice, "Is there a need to ask?"

"There is," Mu Yingchen nodded.

"It was, it was that day," she said.

"That day? Wasn’t that our first meeting?" Mu Yingchen raised an eyebrow.

"Uh, I started having those ideas before that day," Su Wanxia rubbed her forehead, swearing by the heavens that initially, she hadn’t intended to set her sights on him—it was those guys like Yan Yirou who’d forced her, but after meeting him, gradually, it turned into a sincere pursuit...

Mu Yingchen felt exceptionally good upon hearing her words. Although it was within his expectations, having her admit it herself was truly satisfying.

"Really?"

Su Wanxia closed her eyes, ready to face the consequences, and nodded.

Mu Yingchen couldn’t help but chuckle silently—

"What are you laughing at? Are you that pleased with yourself?" Su Wanxia wasn’t happy.

"No, I’m just happy," he said.

She pouted, "I didn’t see you looking happy at the time. Your nose was nearly pointing to the sky."

She clearly remembered how aloof he was back then, the epitome of an arrogant man.

Mu Yingchen couldn’t help but laugh, uncontrollably pulling her into his embrace.

Back then, he hadn’t expected that it would be her who captured his heart.

And caused him to fall so deeply, unable to extricate himself—

The group played until past midnight, reluctantly leaving Yemei.

During that time, Su Wanxia and others like Yan Yirou sang a few songs together, but Mu Yingchen didn’t sing even once. No matter how Ji Hua and Mu Chuyang coaxed, he just sat on the sofa with an indifferent face, showing no intention of showing off his singing skills.

Disappointed, they all looked at Su Wanxia. As long as Su Wanxia spoke up, their big brother would surely agree.

It had been many years since they last heard their big brother sing, but Su Wanxia ignored all their gazes.

She knew he didn’t like these kinds of places for fun, and the fact that he accompanied her was good enough. If she pushed him to sing, she felt that he would definitely make a mental note of it, so she just let it go.

After leaving the grand and brilliant entrance of Yemei, everyone went their separate ways, returning to their own homes.

By the time Mu Yingchen and Su Wanxia got to the villa, it was nearly one in the morning.

Yawning and half-asleep, Su Wanxia was pulled inside the door by Mu Yingchen, which he promptly shut, and then he suddenly swept her off her feet.

Su Wanxia was instantly alert, all traces of sleepiness vanishing.

"What are you doing? You scared me to death." She looked reproachfully at the still bright and energetic Mu Yingchen.

"Aren’t you tired? I’ll carry you to bed—" Mu Yingchen’s voice was low and pleasant, particularly sexy in the quiet of the night.

Su Wanxia felt there was something suggestive in his tone, especially the words "go to bed." They clearly didn’t sound like they were just about going to sleep, did they?

Thinking this, her ears began to burn hot. Was he miscommunicating, or was she the one with the impure thoughts?

By the time she came back to her senses, Mu Yingchen had already carried her up to the bedroom on the second floor—

She was startled and began to feel annoyed with herself deep down. How could she have gotten distracted again!
