Chapter 266: Chapter 265: Hard to Drink
"Birthday?"
Leng Yan was a bit surprised and somewhat embarrassed. These days, he had been thinking about a birthday, but not hers. From Wen Nuan’s ID card, he knew that Nuannuan’s birthday was in three days. After meeting Ji Wei today, he had deliberately gone to the mall to buy her a gift.
He didn’t expect it to be Ji Wei’s birthday recently.
"Yes, my solar calendar birthday!"
Ji Wei smiled bitterly, once again offering the wine glass to his lips, her gaze sincere yet helpless: "No birthday gift for me, right? It’s okay, just have a drink with me, and I’ll feel it’s worth it."
"Wish me a happy birthday one last time!" she insisted, wanting him to drink.
The reason she gave made it hard to refuse.
Leng Yan’s heart was once again wrapped in remorse. After all this time, the harm he caused her was so heavy, he felt suffocated. Sometimes, he hated himself for being a good person; otherwise, he could truly ignore Ji Wei. But how could a kind nature be changed just like that?
"Happy birthday!"
Leng Yan took the wine glass, tilted his head back, and drank. There was a dry feeling in his throat that made him frown slightly: "What kind of wine is this? It’s so awful!"
"I didn’t have much money left in my bag, and they wouldn’t let me use a card." Ji Wei patted her bag, looking quite frustrated: "This is the worst birthday I’ve had in three years; even the liquor is cheap. Yet, it’s also the happiest because of your blessings."
Her mouth smiled, her eyes misty, and she tilted her head to look at Leng Yan: "This ’Happy birthday,’ I will always remember."
I will remember tonight, the joy you will bring me. Yan, I will remember well... and you must remember too!
Leng Yan looked at her, her tilted head was very much like when they were in college. His hand unconsciously wanted to reach out and ruffle her hair, but as it got close, it fell weakly.
He would no longer give her the feeling of a lover; he loved Wen Nuan!
"Want to drink more?" Ji Wei started pouring the wine again.
Leng Yan grabbed the wine bottle: "Don’t drink anymore, I’ll find someone to take you home!"
He said, then opened the car door to get out, but his hand was caught by Ji Wei. Her lips held a smile with a hint of bitterness: "I still want to drink, I haven’t gotten drunk yet. I’ll call Xiao Liu and ask her to come pick me up, just let me sit in the car a little longer."
She fumbled for her phone and did dial a number: "Yicai Bar, come pick me up!"
After speaking, the phone slipped down, and the battery fell out. She glanced at it but didn’t pick it up, still holding the wine: "If you’re not drinking, just watch me drink. This one, I wish myself a happy birthday!"
"Stop drinking and wait quietly." Leng Yan frowned deeply, his eyelids heavy as he tried to snatch the wine from her glass. Her body leaned in, hugging him completely. The glass slid onto the seat, spilling wine everywhere. Ji Wei hugged his waist, her red lips moving close, glistening, her voice weakly soft: "Yan..."

The night was driven away by the light of dawn.
Wen Nuan had almost spent the whole night with her eyes open until it got light, and as soon as it did, she got up and dressed.
Tong Xi turned over, still lazily sprawling in bed with her long legs pressing on Wen Nuan, not wanting to open her eyes: "Sleep a little more, why get up so early? Stay and sleep lazy!"
"You sleep, Xixi, I’ll go buy some breakfast. Didn’t you say the steamed dumplings and wontons at the breakfast shop at the entrance of the community are delicious, but you can never get them because it’s always crowded? Anyway, I can’t sleep, I’ll go buy it now, so we should be able to get some. Just wait for your delicious breakfast." Wen Nuan gently moved Tong Xi’s leg, speaking softly.
She couldn’t sleep, lying down was even more uncomfortable. She knew Tong Xi rarely had breakfast because she woke up late, so she thought it’d be better if she went to buy it so they could eat together.
Tong Xi mumbled, half-asleep, with a grin on her face: "Good Nuannuan, if I were a man, I’d definitely marry you, and all other men would have to step aside. Really, Leng Yan marrying you was a real deal."
Would it? He was so unwilling to marry her, hated her so much he refused to attend the wedding...
Oh!
Wen Nuan let out a low sigh. Why think about these things? It’s all in the past now. They love each other now. It was just a small problem due to Ji Wei’s appearance. She believed Leng Yan would handle it well. She just needed to give him some time, and they would be sweet and happy forever.
In the Range Rover’s cabin.
Ji Wei slowly opened her eyes and looked down at the "little strawberries" all over her body, her mouth curving into a self-mocking smile.
