The Regent's Little Wife

Chapter 590 Si Ning is drunk

Hearing this, Yuan Qi's eyes softened. He chuckled and said, "Rumeng has had a tough life. Now she only has me and my brother to rely on. She is sensitive and fragile, which makes us want to care for her more. I just hope she can live a happy and carefree life."

Lin Qianqian suppressed her inner hatred, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and revealed a fake smile: "Haha, yes, Miss Rumeng is indeed a unique little girl!"

Seeing that he didn't seem to get any useful information from asking, Yuan Qi turned around and prepared to leave: "It's getting late, you should go to bed early. I'll go see if Ru Meng has rested."

Lin Qianqian's eyes flashed with resentment, and she hurriedly shouted: "Brother Qi... I..."

However, before she finished her words, Yuan Qi had already left the room without hesitation. As the door slowly closed, Lin Qianqian's face gradually became gloomy, and the smile she had barely maintained on her face finally collapsed completely.

She clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms, hatred surging in her heart like a tide: "Rumeng, it's all because of you, a bitch, that Brother Qi is so indifferent to me. No matter what the price, I will take Brother Qi back from you!"

At this time, Si Ning and Yuan Yi were sitting outside the restaurant drinking. After three rounds of drinking, the two returned to the inn a little drunk. Yuan Yi saw that Si Ning was a little shaky and wanted to support her, but Si Ning refused.

Si Ning staggered back to her room, but was surprised to find Yuan Qi standing at the door waiting for her. Yuan Qi looked at her with concern, but Si Ning just glanced at him calmly and then walked into the room.

Si Ning's alcohol tolerance was good to begin with, but she was in a bad mood tonight, so she drank a little more than usual and was already about 60% drunk. She sat on the bed, looking at the man in front of her with a dazed look.

Yuan Qi watched Si Ning go to drink with his brother, and an indescribable emotion surged in his heart. It was a feeling mixed with jealousy and anger, but he had to suppress this emotion and try to keep himself calm.

He took a deep breath, and then said to Si Ning in a slightly reproachful tone: "Rumeng, where have you been? You came back so late, and you reeked of alcohol. Don't you know that you just recovered from an illness and shouldn't drink alcohol?"

Although Si Ning was drunk, she was still conscious. She was afraid that Yuan Yi would be implicated, so she quickly explained: "Brother, don't blame Yuan Yi. I told him that I was in a bad mood, so we went to the restaurant to drink some wine."

Yuan Qi sighed helplessly, and his tone softened as he said, "Your injuries have not fully recovered yet, so you shouldn't drink. If you have any grievances, you can tell me why you are playing with your own body."

"I...um..." Si Ning felt a little dizzy and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Seeing this, Yuan Qi asked: "Are you still angry with your elder brother?"

Si Ning murmured softly: "I was worried that my elder brother would chase me away, so how could I dare to be angry with him!"

Yuan Qi was both angry and amused, and said helplessly: "Meng Meng... How could I possibly chase you away? I have always regarded you as the most important person, and never thought of you as a burden. I just wanted to take care of you for a while longer, so when I heard you say you wanted to get married, I said that in a moment of anxiety."

Rumeng raised her head, tilted her pink face, looked at him suspiciously with her big watery eyes, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, you really won't dislike me?"

Yuan Qi raised his left hand and said seriously: "I swear, if I disliked you, how could I let you live in Lingyun Sect for so long? If you still care about this matter, then I apologize to you, okay?"

Rumeng nodded gently, but still asked worriedly: "But, but you clearly said that your Yantian Sect's daughter Lin Qianqian is engaged. I'm afraid that you will no longer like me after you marry her." As she spoke, tears began to well up in her eyes.

Yuan Qi sighed helplessly and explained gently: "Where did you hear about my marriage to Qianqian? In fact, there is no engagement between Qianqian and I. We are just good friends. My only wish now is to manage Lingyun Sect and take good care of you and your brother."

After listening to Yuan Qi's explanation, Ru Meng realized that she had misunderstood him again. She was so ashamed that she had to use the longest time to demonstrate her embarrassment.

Ru Meng deliberately said with a pitiful and childish look: "Really? It's wrong to lie to others, or you will become a puppy."

Yuan Qi smiled bitterly, gently stroked Ru Meng's hair, and sighed: "How can there be any difference between true and false? How much alcohol did you drink to be so confused?"

Ru Meng felt the alcohol surge in her body, and the scene in front of her became blurry. She stretched out her hands and gestured randomly, muttering to herself, "Not much, just two pots. You know, I used to be a big drinker. I once tasted the best wine worth millions at the legendary winery in Cardina."

Yuan Qi was confused when he heard this. Cardina Winery? It seemed like a distant and mysterious place for drinking. As for the so-called wine, he had never heard of it. Millions? Could it be silver? How rare is this wine to be worth such a high price? Although he was full of doubts, he did not delve into it. He just shook his head gently and gently placed Si Ning beside him on the bed.

In this ancient time without electricity, moonlight became the only illumination. Si Ning stared at the man in front of her. His eyes were gentle and deep, like the brightest stars in the night sky, which made her intoxicated. An inexplicable emotion surged in her heart. Impulsively, she suddenly pounced on Yuan Qi and pressed her lips tightly against his.

Yuan Qi was startled and exclaimed, "Rumeng, you..." Rumeng was already drunk at this moment, she hugged Yuan Qi's neck tightly, unwilling to let go. "Meng'er, what are you doing? Do you still recognize me?" Yuan Qi tried to break free in a panic, his tone full of helplessness and confusion.

Ru Meng's cheeks flushed, and she was shy but determined: "Of course I know, you are the leader of Lingyun Sect, my fiancé, Yuan Qi." After saying that, she hugged Yuan Qi even tighter, as if she wanted to completely merge herself into his arms.

Yuan Qi's mind was in a mess, and his words were already flustered: "Mengmeng, let go first. This is not in accordance with etiquette. How can we do this?" Rumeng looked up, her eyes clear and persistent: "What do you mean by not in accordance with etiquette? I just hugged you, what's wrong with that? I like you, can't I even hug you? If you don't like it, just push me away."

Yuan Qi took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner waves: "Mengmeng, stop being willful. Do you know what you are saying? This is not just a matter of liking me or not. Even if we are about to get married, we cannot cross the line like this." His tone was a little harsh, but he could not hide the deep helplessness.

Rumeng pouted and responded stubbornly: "I'm not willful, brother." Yuan Qi sighed helplessly and compromised: "Forget it, I hope you can forget all this when you wake up tomorrow morning. But remember, no matter how much you like me, you must maintain proper propriety." As he said that, he gently put Rumeng back on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and quietly left the room.

On the other side, inside the palace, the Empress Dowager was extremely anxious when she learned the news of the Empress's disappearance, like an ant on a hot pan.
