Chapter 53: Beer Is A Good Thing
When the two arrived home, Yang Xinyi was so touched that she rushed up and hugged Tang Ning tightly when she saw the latter had returned safely. Her tears were gushing down her cheeks.
“Lil Ning, thank goodness you’ve returned safely. I wouldn’t know how to break the news to aunt if you were harmed in any way.” Yang Xinyi was over the moon.
Ye Xiong was touched too when he saw how emotional they were. He opened his arms wide and hugged them. “I’m so happy and touched for you guys, I really am.”
“Get off us.”
Yang Xinyi pushed him away and stared at him.
Judging from his personality, she knew that he was trying to take advantage of them.
Ye Xiong laughed, resembling a wolf wagging its huge tail.
Tang Ning had not eaten a single bite of food when she was abducted. Since Ye Xiong was known as a chef, it was only natural that he was ordered to make supper for them.
An hour later, a hot bowl of porridge was made. Tang Ning spoke after she was halfway through her meal, “Cousin, do you have any beer in the house?”
“Why would I have beer in the house when I don’t even like them to begin with?” Yang Xinyi asked.
“I really want to have a beer.” Tang Ning insisted.
“There’s an easy solution to drink beer, I’ll buy it for you.” Ye Xiong was very excited and stood up immediately when he heard that Tang Ning wanted some beer. “Beer is a good thing!”
If Yang Xinyi and Tang Ning were to get tipsy from drinking beer, them taking off their shirts and starting to dance was not impossible.
If they were drunk, did that not mean that anything could happen?
As Ye Xiong kept thinking about the possibilities, he realized that Yang Xinyi was giving him a death glare. She said indifferently, “I dare you to head out and buy some.”
“Lil Ning, it’s not that your cousin-in-law doesn’t want to help you. Your cousin simply won’t allow me to.” Ye Xiong sighed.
He knew his wife’s personality very well. She was so ice-cold that it would be impossible to make Tang Ning tipsy and do something immoral as long as she was around.
“Cousin…” Tang Ning begged like a spoiled child.
“If you want to drink beer, feel free to call your mother and ask for permission. I’ll let you drink as much as you want if she agrees.” Yang Xinyi took out her phone and placed it on the table.
Tang Ning gave up and lowered her head in silence when she saw the phone.
She knew her mother’s personality very well. It would be harder to get her mother to agree than to reach for the sky.
“How about you? Are you going to make the call?”
Yang Xinyi rolled her eyes at Ye Xiong. It was obvious that she was saying, ‘I won’t let you have your way.’
She deeply understood her aunt’s personality. Her aunt was a woman of principle. If she knew that Ye Xiong was trying to get her daughter drunk, she would have fought Ye Xiong to the death. Yang Xinyi refused to believe that the ill-intentioned Ye Xiong would be brave enough to call.
Against her expectations, Ye Xiong picked up the phone and said, “I’m just following what you said. You can’t stop me if aunt agrees.”
“I won’t stop you. Feel free to drink to your heart’s desire,” Yang Xinyi said.
“I’ve got another request.” Ye Xiong smiled.
“What do you want?”
“Not only can you not stop us, but you have to accompany us and drink as well.” Ye Xiong smiled.
“Fine,” Yang Xinyi said.
She refused to believe that Ye Xiong would dare phone her aunt. It was already past ten. Any normal parent would prevent their daughter from drinking with someone at this hour if they were to find out about it.
“All of you be quiet.” Ye Xiong hushed as he placed his finger on his mouth before making the call using Yang Xinyi’s phone.
“Xinyi, why are you still awake at this hour?” Yan Yueru’s unique voice came from the other end of the phone.
“Lil Aunt, it’s me, Ye Xiong!”
“Oh, it’s Lil Xiong. Why are you calling me at this hour?” Yang Yueru sounded surprised.
“It’s nothing. I’m just calling to ask if you’ve returned home.”
“I’ve been home for some time now. Thank you for your concern!” Yang Yueru’s laughter could be heard from the other end of the phone. “Why are you still awake at this hour? Don’t be lazy and work harder so that I can have a little baby bear to play with as soon as possible.”
Yang Xinyi was speechless when she heard that. This aunt of hers was way too impatient!
She was not even in a hurry but her aunt was more eager than her!
Furthermore, would she even want to have a child with this b*stard?
Ye Xiong glanced at Yang Xinyi and giggled. “Don’t you worry Lil Aunt. We’ll stay up later than usual later and make sure your wish comes true.”
“Good, I’ve faith in you!”
“That’s a must.”
Yang Xinyi started blushing as she listened. She did not understand why Lil Aunt, who was a very well-behaved woman, would she behave so casually with this guy.
If Yang Xinyi did not know that the person Ye Xiong was speaking to was her aunt, she would have thought that it was another aggrieved woman who had been confined in the house for too long!
“Lil Aunt, the reason I’ve called you is that I have something to tell you.” Ye Xiong headed to the main topic.
“What’s the matter?”
“I wish to teach Lil Ning how to drink beer.” Ye Xiong was blunt.
“Why? She’s still a high school student.”
“Frankly speaking, I agree that high school students should not consume beer, especially girls since it would affect their image. However after some thought, I realized that it would be more problematic if she doesn’t know how to drink.” Ye Xiong pondered as he continued. “I read some news recently about some girls who got drunk after sipping half a glass of beer during a friendly gathering. Think about it, Tang Ning has friends and will go to gatherings too. There will be a time when she has to drink a glass or two. She would be a laughing stock if she can’t hold her beer. Hence, over the next two days, I plan to teach her how to drink beer and make sure she can drink at least three cups. She’ll be able to hold herself that way, no?”
Yang Yueru was silent for a while before she spoke, “Alright, please teach her. However, she must not get drunk or I’ll hold you responsible.”
“Why would I try to get her drunk? My wife would never agree to it!” Ye Xiong winked at Tang Ning and smiled. “Lil Aunt, it’s half-past ten. You should sleep soon, after all, it’s the key to be beautiful.”
“Yes yes. I’ll head in and sleep. Goodbye.”
“Goodbye.”
Tang Ning pounced at Ye Xiong the instant he hung up the call. She pressed her body onto Ye Xiong’s back as she screamed. “Cousin-in-law, you’re really amazing. You even managed to persuade my old-fashioned mother. You’re really amazing.”
Tang Ning jumped up and down as she spoke. Ye Xiong nearly lost it as Tang Ning was hugging his neck tightly while she jumped about.
‘What the f*ck. Are you trying to force me to commit a crime?!’
“Lil Ning, let go of your cousin-in-law this instant. Are you supposed to behave like that?” Yang Xinyi commented immediately when she saw at Tang Ning clinging onto Ye Xiong.
“It’s just a hug. It’s petty of you to be jealous of it.” Tang Ning frustratedly let go of him.
“You said it. Such pettiness. Good things are meant to be shared.” Ye Xiong added.
This girl was really matured.
Yang Xinyi started having a headache when she looked at the two acting crazily.
“I’ll head out and buy the beer.” Ye Xiong stood up and ran out.
An hour later, Ye Xiong returned with two packs of beer, he had even bought a huge pack of grilled food.
“There’s something to eat as well!’ Tang Ning reached out her hand and picked up a stick of mutton. As she started eating it, Tang Ning praised, “It’s spicy and amazing!”
Ye Xiong had obtained his supper from the best street food vendors in the vicinity. He often went there with Wang Tong so it was only natural that the food was good.
“Don’t just focus on the food, have some beer!” Ye Xiong popped open a beer bottle and gave it to her.
Tang Ning was very excited as she took the beer bottle and gulped down!
Pfft!
She spat out the beer onto Ye Xiong’s face the instant it entered her throat.
“Is this beer? Isn’t the taste a little bit bad?” Tang Ning spat out as she complained.
Ye Xiong was drenched in beer and looked incredibly horrible.
“I wonder who said earlier that beer is a good thing. I guess beer truly is a good thing.” Yang Xinyi could not stop herself from laughing when she looked at Ye Xiong’s sorry state.
