Chapter 229: 232 Fine Wine Life_1

She tucked the kids into their rooms, covering them with their small quilts.

Watching them slowly drift off to sleep, the expressions of the husband and wife eased for the first time.

Neither looked at each other, coldly leaving the children’s room.

Lin Xiangwan walked into her room, taking off her coat. Without asking him if he needed the shower, she directly grabbed her change of clothes and went in.

Cold water continued to slide off her head, and she kept her eyes tightly shut.

Should she accept the fat pig’s proposal?

But thinking of that disgusting old pig wanting to take advantage of her, she felt nauseated!

No... No... She didn’t want to!

Moreover, who knows if that damned pig even had the ability!

But no matter how much she tried to numb herself, she couldn’t. Her heart was still in agony, her mind continuously replaying the cruel scene with Qin Muchuan.

After enduring the cold shower for over half an hour, she finally stopped punishing herself. She changed into clean clothes and came out.

In the study, a freshly showered Qin Muchuan was drying his hair with a towel.

She didn’t know if it was because they were too close, or if the room was too small.

Involuntarily, Qin Muchuan brushed against Lin Xiangwan. Her little hand was cold, her hair was chilly, and the water droplets that fell carried a hint of iciness.

"Did you shower with cold water?" Qin Muchuan asked.

Lin Xiangwan ignored him.

Because of the alcohol, Lin Xiangwan’s face was slightly flushed, making her look tantalizingly attractive.

Lin Xiangwan picked up a bottle of 1989 wine. It wasn’t a high-end brand like Lafite, but a traditional, well-known French winery. The logo on the bottle was a ’B’. It was a brand that the elderly French cherished and treasured very much!

Lin Xiangwan took the bottle of wine, and with much effort tried to open it with a corkscrew.

But the seal was so tight, she was using all her strength, yet she still can’t open it!

She seemed to have made it her mission to open it. The more she could not, the more she wanted to. She placed the bottle on the ground, clamped it between her legs, and forcefully pulled the cork!

But the cork seemed to resist her efforts. No matter how hard she tried, it didn’t budge!

The feeling of defeat and the harsh reality caused tears to drop one by one from her eyes!

But she didn’t cry out loud or raise her head.

What was the use of crying for someone as helpless as her? Who would pity her?

Her effort caused her fingers to get scratched, and drops of bright red blood fell.

The fact was, no amount of effort could change anything if you didn’t have the ability!

She threw the wine bottle on the ground and looked helplessly at the red liquid inside!

The exquisite wine was right in front of her, but she just couldn’t taste it, no matter how delicious it was!

Perhaps this was her tragic life. Forever ostracized from happiness and bliss. Was she really not worthy of the happiness that normal people have, for her entire life?

Qin Muchuan saw her ogling the wine and saw teardrops in her clear eyes!

She really was an alcoholic. Was she that upset because she couldn’t drink?

She saw his feet moving, attempting to leave her.

She lifted her head. In a burst of reckless courage, she demanded, "Can you open the wine for me?"

Such a desperate tone to drink, had she really drunk too much? Even she herself was doubting!

Qin Muchuan frowned but didn’t move!

"You open the wine for me. May I have a drink of your stuff? That’s right, this bottle is from the bar downstairs. I took it without your permission. I want to drink, can you satisfy me?" Lin Xiangwan held the bottle of wine, shaking it back and forth, asking indignantly.

"You’re drunk!" Qin Muchuan said.

Lin Xiangwan scoffed. "Don’t worry, I hold my liquor quite well. Even if we both drink, you may not be my match!"

"You’re already drunk!" He said again.

If only she was really drunk. If she was, she wouldn’t be in pain. If she was really drunk, she wouldn’t see his cold cruelty. If she was truly drunk... perhaps she would be braver than she is now, muster the courage to pick up the wine bottle and smash it on his head.

Smash open his skull to see what’s inside. Why does he always look down on her, the mother of his child?

"Are you that unwilling? Are you that stingy with me? It’s just a bottle of wine, can’t you allow me to drink it?" Lin Xiangwan raised her eyes, looking at him mockingly. "Qin Muchuan, don’t be so harsh to me. I am the mother of your child after all, and you still need me to play the part. If you don’t cooperate well with me, fulfill my desires, I’ll tell the kids that their parents are actually strangers. When they grow up, their parents will part ways unconditionally!"

Qin Muchuan grabbed the wine bottle, easily pulling out the cork that Lin Xiangwan had been struggling to open for so long. He threw it on the ground.

"Here you go, isn’t this what you wanted to drink?"

He handed her the wine bottle.

Lin Xiangwan took the bottle, poured herself a glass, gently swirled it, and began to savor.

Indeed, the mellow aroma of grape wine spread across her lips. If it was allowed to breathe, the wine would certainly taste even better, but she couldn’t wait, she simply couldn’t!

This wine was like life. Only after savoring, could one understand the true essence of life, right?

Lin Xiangwan seemed to have found hope in this grape wine, and kept on drinking, pouring constantly. Soon her face was flushed.

Her eyes kept falling on Qin Muchuan’s face.

When the entire bottle was emptied, she did not know what overcame her. She threw down the glass, threw down the bottle, and walked towards him—

......

Seeing the woman walking towards him, Qin Muchuan didn’t know what to say.
