Chapter 93: Chapter 93 Drunk Mature Woman

Song Xiaodong and Miao Xuanxuan both quickly agreed. Song Xiaodong looked at Li Sijie and said, "President Li, I think you should go home and change your clothes."

Li Sijie looked down at herself and replied, "Alright then, let’s buy some drinks and just drink at my place."

Song Xiaodong and Miao Xuanxuan had no objections, so the three of them took a cab to the base of Li Sijie’s home building, went into the supermarket, and bought two cases of beer, along with some snacks to go with the drinks, like peanuts.

The three didn’t sit at the dining table, but gathered around the coffee table on the floor and started drinking.

But before they had drunk much, Miao Xuanxuan’s phone started ringing.

After speaking for a few moments, Miao Xuanxuan pouted and said, "It’s over, my old man is throwing his weight around, insisting I must come back. If I don’t, I won’t be able to go out so freely in the future. Song Xiaodong, President Li is in your hands now. You have to take good care of her."

Song Xiaodong knew Miao Qingyuan was a domineering person, and it was already quite challenging for him to let Miao Xuanxuan do things she liked. Given it was so late and she still wasn’t home, it definitely was not acceptable.

Li Sijie said, "Then Song Xiaodong, you should take Xuanxuan back. I can drink by myself, you’ve both been busy for me for so long already."

Miao Xuanxuan immediately said, "How can we do that? How can we rest assured leaving you alone at home? Song Xiaodong, you must take good care of President Li."

Song Xiaodong nodded and said, "Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of her."

After escorting Miao Xuanxuan to the door, she lowered her voice and whispered, "Listen, Dongzi, I’m warning you, President Li is in a bad mood today. You accompany her, but don’t take advantage of the situation and make a mess of things, alright?"

Song Xiaodong gave her a look and said, "Am I that kind of person?"

"What do you think?" Miao Xuanxuan gave him an even bigger eye roll in return.

Song Xiaodong rubbed his nose and said, "I didn’t realize my impression was that bad."

"What did you expect? Just be careful," Miao Xuanxuan waved her fist at Song Xiaodong and then left.

Song Xiaodong returned and sat opposite Li Sijie. In just this short while, Li Sijie had already finished a can of beer.

He knew Li Sijie just wanted to get drunk, to numb her own nerves. The past couple of days must have already left her completely drained, pushing her to her limits.

Since she wanted to drown her sorrows, he decided to let her get drunk and joined her in drinking.

Li Sijie really couldn’t handle her liquor, and before long, she was already drunk and not fully coherent.

"Do you know, when I was in college, how many guys chased after me? Lots and lots. I was so picky and finally chose him because he was good to me and ambitious..."

After taking another large sip, Li Sijie murmured, "But after we got married... His true colors showed. The jobs he found never lasted more than three months. I started this club, he helped for a few days, then didn’t want to come anymore. I worked myself to the bone to get the club to where it is now, but... he was actually keeping another woman the whole time. Why does my life feel like such a failure?"

Song Xiaodong clinked his beer can against Li Sijie’s, took a sip, and said, "Some people are just not easy to see through, but it’s not too late now that you have seen him for who he really is."

"Heh...I just can’t help feeling unwilling to accept this; I tried so hard, he didn’t like to work, and I didn’t push him. He wanted to spend money, and I gave it to him. I let him have his way with almost everything. Haven’t I done well enough?"

As Li Sijie spoke, tears involuntarily started to stream down her face.

Song Xiaodong sighed and said, "It’s not that you’re not good enough; it’s just that he doesn’t appreciate what you’ve done. If I had a wife like you, I’d probably be so happy I couldn’t sleep at night."

"But you’re not... Not only does he keep a mistress, but he also fights for property. For the sake of money, he even kidnapped me. I... I’m just so heartbroken; my heart really hurts so much, mmm..."

Li Sijie took another big gulp of alcohol and then burst into tears.

Crying while drinking, Li Sijie was drunk, speaking nonsense and being emotionally charged. This was a form of release, and from a doctor’s perspective, it wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. One of the main theories in Traditional Chinese Medicine is that illness originates from the heart. Many illnesses arise because stress and emotional distress disrupt the body’s balance, leading to disease.

Hence, Song Xiaodong just let her vent these negative emotions, even verbally provoking her to cry it out. To an outsider, this would seem unbearably cruel.

"You... you bastard, why don’t you persuade me to stop?" After crying for a while, Li Sijie, with bleary eyes, looked at Song Xiaodong and asked.

Song Xiaodong replied, "It’s good to let it all out; just have a good cry now, then go to bed and have a nice sleep. When you wake up tomorrow, you’ll feel better."

"You’re really heartless," Li Sijie glared at Song Xiaodong, then leaned on the coffee table, trying to stand up. However, after struggling twice, she failed to rise, collapsing back onto the floor.

Song Xiaodong came over to help Li Sijie up and asked, "Do you want to go to sleep?"

"No, no... I haven’t had enough to drink. I have to go first... what kind of man asks a woman about going to the bathroom?"

Song Xiaodong’s face darkened. She told him not to ask, yet she said it all herself. She was definitely drunk. Helping the swaying Li Sijie into the bathroom, before Song Xiaodong could even turn around to leave, Li Sijie had already stripped off her pants and sat down on the toilet.

Song Xiaodong’s eyes widened. He knew this wasn’t Li Sijie acting deliberately; she was just so drunk she wasn’t aware of her basic modesty. Even so, this was overwhelmingly attractive to a normal man like him.

Especially the sound of the trickling water, it stirred Song Xiaodong’s emotions even more.

At that moment, his cellphone rang. Song Xiaodong hurried out. It was Miao Xuanxuan calling to inquire about the situation. Song Xiaodong said Li Sijie had drunk too much and would probably be asleep soon.

Miao Xuanxuan then warned Song Xiaodong, saying, "I’m warning you, don’t you dare take advantage of anyone in their vulnerable state."

"Alright, I get it. No, I have to go check on her to make sure she doesn’t fall asleep in the bathroom."

Song Xiaodong put down the phone and went to the bathroom door, where he heard even louder water sounds. Peeking inside, his face turned dark as he saw Li Sijie, sitting in the bathtub with the faucet running, water flowing nonstop.

Except Li Sijie was tilting her head as if she had already fallen asleep, and her clothes were thoroughly soaked with water.
