“Not similar?”
Chi Zuxu lowered his gaze at her and squinted his eyes meaningfully. “Not similar to what?”
“Huh?”
Chi Yi’s cheeks instantly turned red from embarrassment. “Did… Did I say something earlier?!”
“You said that the wine glass is not similar!”
Chi Zuxu repeated and naturally held her small hand in his palm. He questioned her further with a deep voice, “What is it not similar to?”
“Nothing… It’s nothing! It doesn’t look like a wine glass, that’s all!”
Chi Yi forced herself to calm down and swiftly took the wine glass that she found the most similar to it. Pretending that her heart was not racing and her face was not flushed, she placed it in the cart and said, “I think… This is more like a wine glass!”
“…”
As if he would believe her words!
…
At night, after Chi Yi had finished her homework, she took a bath. Bringing the two tall and skinny wine glasses along with a bottle of red wine in her hands, she knocked on Chi Zuxu’s study room door.
“Come in—”
Chi Zuxu’s low voice was heard from the inside.
Chi Yi hurriedly pushed open the door and walked in. She placed the wine glasses on his study table. “Uncle, let’s drink some red wine! It helps with falling asleep.”
Chi Zuxu raised his head and glanced at her meaningfully before nodding his head. “Alright!”
He placed the fountain pen in his hand down.
Chi Yi was surprised. He had actually not rejected her!
She was originally prepared to say a bunch of words to convince him. It was great that they were not needed!
Chi Yi passed the red wine and the bottle opener to him. “I don’t know how to open a wine bottle.”
Chi Zuxu received them and popped open the bottle with familiarity. After pouring half a glass for Chi Yi, he poured himself half a glass as well.
“Thank you…”
Chi Yi picked up the wine glass and gently knocked it against his before raising her head and taking a sip.
She purposely drank too quickly, causing the red wine to leak from the corner of her mouth, dripping down the side of the wine glass slowly.
“Oh no! It leaked!”
Chi Yi exaggeratedly let out a grunt, her eyes secretly glancing at Chi Zuxu. Seeing that his gaze was on her wine glass, Chi Yi hurriedly reached out with her small hand and followed according to the theory she picked up from the post. With her finger facing up, she slowly wiped the droplet on the wine glass, before taking a piece of tissue and wiping her finger clean. She raised her gaze and looked at him nervously.
Chi Zuxu was currently staring at her. His gaze was hot, as if he were burning holes through her.
However, his expression was extremely grave, to the point that Chi Yi began to panic.
“Uncle, you… Why are you staring at me like that?”
Chi Yi asked softly and guiltily.
There was a violent turbulence building in his pitch-black eyes. He looked at her indifferently, with not a hint of emotion.
Just from her small action earlier, he understood what the wine glass from earlier did not look like and what the wine glass in her hand looked like…
She was trying to seduce him?!
He would admit that there was a moment when his body had a reaction he should not have had toward her teasing action!
But, these actions and reactions were not appropriate between them!
His gaze darkened and he said sternly, “Kid, I think you need to go to America with your parents!”
Chi Yi was stunned. She furrowed her eyebrows and protested, “I don’t want to go!!”
Why did he have to talk about this again all of a sudden!
“I will tell your dad to prepare the best school for you in America!”
Chi Zuxu’s tone was overbearing and clearly not receptive to a second opinion.
“I said I wouldn’t go, it means I won’t! No matter how good the school is, I won’t go!!”
Chi Yi answered furiously before picking up her wine glass and dashing out of his study room.
