Reborn: Married to the Demon King

Chapter 292: Chapter 292: Drunk

A girl like this, just one glance, and you won't ever forget her.

Wen Lin recognized her instantly—she was the girl playing the piano at the last banquet.

The one who had Qin Yumo staring so intently.

Wen Lin looked at the manager beside her and asked, "Why are they standing outside?"

"Miss Wen, they wanted to cin and dine, but we're fully booked today."

"But aren't there still plenty of empty seats inside?" Wen Lin was a little puzzled.

The manager sighed, "Well, it's because Mr. Wen is dining here today. We don’t want a large crowd to make him

uncomfortable."

Wen Lin nodded, understanding.

Still, she said, "It’s fine, let them cin to eat. Considering they've probably ca long way, it doesn’t feel

right turning them away just like that."

Miss Wen truly is kind. The manager was moved and instructed the staff to let Yun Shifei and her group inside.

Yun Shifei and her friends were about to leave when the server stopped them.

"Hello, there’s now space available inside. Please, cwith me."

Space becavailable?

Yun Shifei was quite puzzled—could it be that those who had reserved earlier suddenly canceled?

As she stepped through the door, she caught sight of the woman standing by the staircase.

She was a young, beautiful woman.

With her short hair, she looked particularly sharp, while her delicate makeup and facial features gave her an

undeniable feminine charm. She wore a fur coat that exuded elegance and luxury.

She was looking at her, and Yun Shifei found herself being stared at in return.

Yun Shifei thought she seemed somewhat familiar, though she couldn’t place where they had met.

Their eyes met from afar, and Yun Shifei saw the woman smile at her.

Yun Shifei’s face suddenly reddened—such a beautiful yet distant woman had smiled at her so warmly.

How polite of her.

Yun Shifei quickly returned the smile.

Seeing her obedient and sweet smile, Wen Lin felt an odd sensation rise in her heart.

She couldn't explain why she had allowed Yun Shifei to cin for a meal. Perhaps she wanted to experience

what it was like to wield power.

"So what if she’s pretty? She still couldn’t get in here easily, could she?"

Once seated, they began ordering food.

Xiang Wenwen wanted Yun Shifei to choose, but Yun Shifei, as someone indecisive, didn't have strong opinions

on anything except dessert, which she felt most passionate about. Everything else seemed about the sto

her.

In the end, Xu Yuejiao, without hesitation, picked up the menu and started placing orders herself.

"By the way, do any of you feel like drinking?"

Drinking? Yun Shifei immediately shook her head. "I don’t like alcohol."

Alcohol was bitter, and the stronger ones were spicy.

She didn’t enjoy either bitterness or spiciness; thus, she didn’t like alcohol.

"It's so cold outside, Shi Fei, you could have a little alcohol to warm your stomach," Xu Yuejiao encouraged.

She touched Yun Shifei’s palm. "Look, your hands are freezing. A couple of sips of alcohol, and they'd warm up."

Yun Shifei’s eyes widened. "But | might get drunk."

"What's there to be afraid of? Your cousin's here—who dares try anything with you? Besides, I've got excellent

alcohol tolerance. I'll protect you." Xu Yuejiao then directed a sharp glare at the male classmates present.

"Listen, don’t even think of having ideas about my cousin. Our family in South City has sinfluence, don’t

forget that."

Yun Shifei chuckled and quickly smoothed things over, looking at the stunned boys. "My cousin is joking."

"You're too soft. What if someone does take advantage of you? Do you know how many times they've stolen

glances at you along the way? I've kept count."

Xu Yuejiao tapped Yun Shifei’s forehead.

Her cousin, honestly, seemed to have made no progress at all.

How could she be so oblivious to the sinister nature of speople?

But unbeknownst to Xu Yuejiao, Yun Shifei was quite aware of these realities.

She had already seen the depths of human malice in her previous life.

Still, having experienced such cruelty, she chose to view others in a positive light when she could.

She didn’t want to carry too much darkness in her heart—it made life all the heavier.

Having lived again, she had let go of many things. If someone showed her kindness, she believed they were

good, no strings attached.

The lamb platter arrived, as did a selection of small appetizers, and they began eating.

After a few bites, Xu Yuejiao poured Yun Shifei a glass of wine. "Shi Fei, take a sip. This is fruit wine they've made

here—it’s sweet and a bit tangy. Pretty tasty."

Hearing it was sweet and tangy, Yun Shifei couldn't resist trying a sip.

Her eyes lit up instantly.

It truly was as Xu Yuejiao had described—delicious.

They had ordered several bottles of alcohol: green plum wine, bayberry wine, lychee wine, and peach blossom

wine.

Once Yun Shifei found one flavor enjoyable, she eagerly tried all the others.

Soon enough, a rosy blush spread across her cheeks, more dazzling than rouge.

With the steam rising from the soup

pot, the mist floated before her. Her

The boys seated across from her were completely entranced.

Yun Shifei was already beautiful in her everyday demeanor, but now, as a slightly tipsy and adorable young

woman, she was utterly captivating.

Xu Yuejiao helped serve food to Yun Shifei and, noticing the boys’ stares, cast a warning glance in their direction.

The boys, meeting Xu Yuejiao’s gaze, snapped out of their daze.

Xiang Wenwen grinned at Xu Yuejiao. "Maybe we shouldn't have let Shi Fei drink in the first place, don’t you

think?"

She had already realized Yun Shifei was getting tipsy.

This fruit wine, though sweet and fragrant, had a bit of a kick to it.

For someone like Yun Shifei, not accustomed to drinking much, sipping multiple glasses in one go was naturally

too much.

"It's fine. This girl is so well-behaved. Even drunk, she just stays quietly by our side." Xu Yuejiao remarked while

stroking Yun Shifei’s hair.

Inwardly, she thought to herself—if she were a man, she probably wouldn't be able to resist either.

Their table was lively with food and chatter when, all of a sudden, a group of people descended from upstairs.

By the end of the meal, the relationship between Cheng Lie and Mr. Wen seemed to have grown closer.

"Xiao Lie, | never imagined you'd have

such astounding talent in painting.

Whether it was foreign trade, art, or even cutting-edge technology.

"As long as Grandpa doesn’t mind, I'd be happy to," Cheng Lie replied coolly.

had finally found a true kindred spirit.

During his conversation with Cheng

Lie earlier, everything he brought up,

Cheng Lie seemed to have

knowledge about. It was truly rare.

"Hey, Jiang Yu, a bet is a bet—breakfast is on you tomorrow!" Just as they reached the lobby, they were greeted

by the boisterous chatter of a group nearby.

"Fantastic! We've got breakfast plans secured for tomorrow. Let's keep playing!"

As they made their way downstairs, the lively voices continued to echo.

Mr. Wen cast a sideways glance. "Ah, the youth. So full of life."

Cheng Lie chuckled to himself but felt a tinge of familiarity in one of the voices that rang out. He couldn't quite

place it but was sure he had heard it before.
