Red Wine Can't Get You Drunk

Su Yang smiled when he heard that.

"Fine, fine, I'm a cricket. But when it comes to money, I definitely can't compare with you. Your cousin is Meng Wenzhou, after all. Other people might not know, but I do."

"He's my cousin, not my biological brother. His money has nothing to do with me."

"Hmm, that's true. But your family definitely isn't poor either, right? You've got a Lamborghini and a Ferrari."

"You could say I'm not short of money, but I can't compare with my cousin's family."

"That's for sure. His father has assets worth over a hundred billion yuan, after all. Not many people can compare with that."

"But his style is really unlike that of a top-tier rich second-generation heir."

"Then what does he seem like?" Pan Ning asked.

"Hmm, how should I put it? Look at those super-rich second-generation heirs, like Brother Cong and the others. They're surrounded by beautiful women wherever they go, and they're not exactly easy to get along with. But Meng Wenzhou is different."

Pan Ning smiled faintly. "He's been like that since he was little. He really doesn't have many of the usual habits of rich second-generation heirs. People who don't know him would think he was an ordinary person. You'll understand after spending more time with him."

As they talked, they had already left the elevator and arrived at Su Yang's door.

He pressed his fingerprint against the lock and opened the door. The moment it opened, the lights inside came on automatically.

"Come in."

"Do you have slippers?"

"Yes." As he spoke, Su Yang took two pairs of plastic slippers he had bought at the supermarket from the cabinet beside the door.

Pan Ning changed her shoes and walked in.

Su Yang closed the door and followed her. "Sit wherever you like. What would you like to drink? I'll get it for you."

"Do you have alcohol?"

"What? Alcohol? You drink?"

"I'm not drunk. If you can't drink, have something else."

"I... Fine, fine, fine. In my own home, am I really going to be afraid of you? I'll risk my life to accompany you tonight. Let's drink!"

Su Yang walked over beside the kitchen and opened the built-in double-door refrigerator.

He looked inside and only then remembered that he hadn't bought any beer.

"Well, I just moved in and didn't have time to buy beer. I only have red wine and baijiu. Which would you like?"

"Either is fine. Is the baijiu Moutai?"

"Yes. So you only drink Moutai?"

"Not exactly. It's just that Moutai is the only baijiu I've ever had, from childhood until now. I'm not used to other kinds."

"Damn, you've been drinking Moutai since you were little. No wonder you're rich."

"Then Moutai?"

"Moutai it is." Pan Ning dropped onto the sofa and spoke indifferently.

"I didn't expect you to choose baijiu instead of red wine. Drinking baijiu in such a romantic setting."

After entering the apartment, Su Yang had already dimmed the living room lights. It was a perfect atmosphere for some red wine.

"Red wine can't get you drunk."

Su Yang: "..."

"You want to get drunk that badly?"

"If I get drunk, won't you have a chance?" Pan Ning leaned against the sofa and looked at Su Yang with alluring eyes.

"Damn~~ You're blatantly seducing me! If I really can't hold back and do something later, don't blame me!"

"Provided you can get me drunk."

"Arrogant!" Su Yang pretended to be angry as he walked over to the liquor cabinet and opened the case of Moutai he had bought earlier.

He took out two bottles and sat down beside the sofa.

"Tonight, I'm definitely getting you drunk."

"Don't just talk big. Show me some action."

"Fine, fine, fine. Just wait."

"But it looks like there aren't any snacks to go with the alcohol." Su Yang looked at the empty table.

"Some peanuts will do."

"Peanuts?" Su Yang widened his eyes at Pan Ning. He couldn't imagine what it would look like for such a beautiful woman to drink baijiu with peanuts.

"You've really opened my eyes. I never expected you to be so bold."

"You said there weren't any other snacks. Otherwise, I wouldn't want to eat peanuts with my alcohol either."

"I just had a bowl of noodles. I do have steak, along with fruit and snacks, but I really don't have any peanuts."

"Then make whatever you want. I'm fine with anything."

"Okay, then wait here. I'll fry two steaks. You wash some fruit for me."

"Okay~"

Before long, Su Yang had finished frying the steaks, while Pan Ning had already washed the fruit and was sitting on the sofa waiting.

"Here we go~"

Su Yang placed the steaks on the table. He picked up the Moutai, opened it, took out the two small liquor cups from the box, and wiped them clean. Then, imitating the way he had seen others open Moutai, he pulled the red ribbon off in one motion.

This was actually the first time Su Yang had opened a bottle of Moutai in his life.

Pan Ning frowned when she saw this. "You're using those little cups?"

"What else? This is baijiu!"

"Use something else. We won't get drunk even if we drink until dawn with those."

Su Yang smiled helplessly. "Sis, you're really something. I give up! Wait here. I'll get you bigger glasses."

He walked to the bar beside the kitchen and took two whiskey glasses.

"These should work, right?"

"Yeah, they'll do."

"A heroine among women!" Su Yang gave Pan Ning a thumbs-up.

After pouring the liquor, he picked up his glass. "Come on, let's have one first."

They clinked glasses. Su Yang took a small sip, while Pan Ning downed half a glass in one go.

Su Yang's eyes widened. "Sis, this is baijiu! What kind of sane person drinks it like that?"

"Why do you talk so much? I shouldn't have come. Are you drinking or not?"

"Fine. Pretend I didn't say anything."

"Why don't you eat something to line your stomach?"

"Mm."

Pan Ning picked up a fork, speared a piece of steak, and put it into her mouth.

After chewing a few times, she said, "Where did you buy this steak?"

"At the supermarket. Why?"

"It tastes pretty average, and it doesn't seem to be a whole-cut steak."

"Really? It said 'whole-cut' on the package."

"Try it yourself. It's edible, at least."

"I'll give it a try." Su Yang speared a piece and put it into his mouth.

But how could he tell whether it was whole-cut or not? He had only eaten steak a few times in total, and he even thought it tasted delicious.

"It tastes fine to me."

"Then eat more. I'll stick to the fruit."

As she spoke, Pan Ning picked up a cherry and put it into her mouth. "If you like steak, I'll send you some another day."

"Sure. It's convenient stuff. By the way, where do you live?"

"Qianshan Peninsula."

"Where's Qianshan Peninsula? Why have I never heard of it?"

"It's just an ordinary villa complex."

No wonder I've never heard of it. When I worked in real estate, I only handled high-rise apartments and low-density housing projects. I'd never dealt with villa developments before. Su Yang thought to himself.

"Is it far from here?"

"Seven or eight kilometers. It's not far. Hurry up and drink. You talk too much."

Pan Ning picked up her glass and started drinking again.

Seeing how boldly Pan Ning drank, Su Yang was infected by her enthusiasm and took a larger gulp this time.

However, he nearly spat it out after swallowing.

"Cough, cough, cough. Damn, I drank too fast."

"Here, have a cherry." Pan Ning picked up a washed cherry and held it to Su Yang's lips.

"I can do it myself."

"Open your mouth!"

"Fine, fine, fine." Su Yang opened his mouth and ate the cherry Pan Ning fed him.

"How is it? Tasty?" Pan Ning looked at Su Yang with a faint, teasing smile.

"Tasty... Just a little frightening."

"You're saying I'm frightening?"

"No, no, no. Come on, let's drink."

Pan Ning shot Su Yang a look, and the two of them slowly drank and chatted.

The lights were dim, and the night outside the window was enchanting. A gentle breeze drifted in from time to time.

The Harman Kardon speakers in the living room played music perfectly suited to the atmosphere. Sitting on the carpet beside the sofa, the two of them chatted and laughed as they drank.

Su Yang looked at Pan Ning in front of him. The dim yellow light illuminated half of her fair face, bringing out the perfection of her delicate features.

Ding! It has been detected that the host is enjoying himself immensely. Reward: two million yuan.

Before long, it was four in the morning.

Su Yang had drunk a little over three liang, while Pan Ning had finished the rest.

Su Yang's head was spinning. He was certain that he would vomit if he took another sip. He looked at Pan Ning, who seemed completely unaffected.

"Sis, I can't go on. I really can't drink anymore. How about we continue another day?"

"Fine. This bottle is empty anyway. I'm going to take a shower. Where's the bathroom?"

"Bath...room." Su Yang's tongue was already stumbling over the word.

He swayed to his feet. "It's over there. I'll take you."

Pan Ning stepped forward and supported Su Yang with one arm. "You're already like this after drinking so little? What a lightweight."

"Yes, yes, I admit it. I can't beat you."

Su Yang had been thoroughly intimidated by Pan Ning's drinking capacity. Back at the bar, Pan Ning had been the one who drank the most out of everyone.

Although she rarely lost at games, she always took the initiative to drink, using thirst as an excuse.

Even the people who lost didn't drink as much as she did.

Now she had downed more than half a jin of baijiu and still looked perfectly fine.

Su Yang genuinely admired her capacity for alcohol.
