[GL]Whose Wife Is Always Acting Pitiful? Oh, It Turns Out It’s Mine 161

Chapter 161: Hazy with Wine

Xue Mu got drunk at the banquet.

The banquet was magnificent. The believers of the “Peace Can Last Forever Sect” all had seats, and the servants and guards of the Dugu Manor also sat down. On the Goose Shadow Mountain Villa side, besides the direct heirs, some personal disciples were also drinking and chatting. Seeing Yan Changdu sitting alone at a table, while Yan Chang’en and Xia Weiran sat together, Xue Mu whispered to Dugu Yuan’an.

“Don’t you think these two little girls are still very young? They actually got together so early.” Dugu Yuan’an said.

“Haha, opportunity knocks but once. You must know that if you don’t catch your sweetheart in time, she will run away.” Xue Mu laughed loudly. “Yuan’er, compared to them, we are actually quite old.”

“What are you saying?” Dugu Yuan’an stuffed a piece of radish into Xue Mu’s mouth. “What do you mean ‘quite old’? I’m only twenty-two, don’t talk nonsense.”

“Okay, okay, I was wrong.” After swallowing the radish, Xue Mu leaned close to her again. “Yuan’er, feed me wine, okay?”

“I think you want to be punished.” Dugu Yuan’an narrowed her eyes. If she had said this before, Xue Mu would definitely have been a bit timid. But at this moment, having drunk a lot of fine wine brewed by the Goose Shadow Mountain Villa, she was floating like an immortal, two blushes appearing on her cheeks.

Seeing her smile and her eyes slightly blurred, Dugu Yuan’an knew she was a bit drunk and smiled, pulling her into her arms. “Mu’er, you’re drunk.”

Xue Mu widened her eyes. “…What?! Not at all! How could I be drunk! Yuan’er, look at me—” She struggled to break free from Dugu Yuan’an’s embrace, picking up a full cup of wine and pouring it into her mouth.

“Alright, alright, stop drinking.” Dugu Yuan’an hurriedly snatched her wine cup, scolding, “Who drinks a whole cup in one breath like you? Don’t you care about your body?”

“What, can I become unconscious just by drinking a cup of wine?” Xue Mu shouted, “Yuan’er, watch me finish this whole jar—Mmph mmph!”

Dugu Yuan’an hurriedly covered her mouth to prevent everyone else from looking over. Dugu Wenxing smiled. “Yuan’er, I think Mu’er is drunk, right? Take her back to rest quickly.”

Coaxing Xue Mu gently, Dugu Yuan’an nodded yes.

Blinking her eyes, Xue Mu saw Yan Chang’en and Xia Weiran talking with their heads lowered across the hall, then leaving quietly together. She wanted to follow them, but Dugu Yuan’an restrained her body. Dizzily, she whispered, “Yuan’er, let me go.”

“Won’t let go.” Dugu Yuan’an said helplessly, “You are already drunk. If you do something shameful, when you sober up, you will feel you’ve lost all face.”

Xue Mu narrowed her eyes slightly. Drunkenness made her thoughts somewhat blurred and trance-like. She only knew to stare at the beloved person in front of her who was smiling gently and sighing helplessly. Her voice was so soft it was almost inaudible: “Yuan’er, you are so beautiful…”

Dugu Yuan’an said, “How beautiful?”

“Mmm… just very beautiful… like very much… want to kiss very much…” Xue Mu wrapped her arms around Dugu Yuan’an’s neck. Dugu Yuan’an’s heart moved. Holding her, she said to Dugu Wenxing, “Father, I’ll take Mu’er back first.”

Dugu Wenxing was chatting with Ge Kan about something. He nodded and said, “Okay, be safe, don’t fall.”

Dugu Yuan’an immediately half-carried and half-hugged Xue Mu out of the hall. As days passed, the night wind was already very cold. Blowing on Xue Mu’s hot cheeks, it sobered her up a bit. She called softly, “Yuan’er, did we come out just like this?”

“Yes, I have to help you back to rest quickly.” Dugu Yuan’an scooped her up by the bend of her knees into her arms. Xue Mu only sobered up for a moment, then became muddled again. “I want to soak in the cold pool…”

“There is no cold pool here.”

“I want the cold pool.”

“There isn’t one here.”

“How can the Xue Star Tower not have one? You lied to me!”

“…Mu’er, this is not the Xue Star Tower, it’s the Goose Shadow Mountain Villa, did you forget?”

“Ah… who abducted me here? I want to go home!”

Xue Mu hugged Dugu Yuan’an’s neck and acted coquettishly. Dugu Yuan’an paused in her steps. Listening to Xue Mu’s rather delicate voice, she felt her own body heat up too—when did Mu’er use such a tone to beg her on ordinary days?

“Okay, okay, okay, take you home.” Dugu Yuan’an coaxed Xue Mu so she wouldn’t struggle wildly in her arms along the way. If they accidentally rolled down the slope together, they would really become famous in the Goose Shadow Mountain Villa tomorrow.

Xue Mu looked at the night sky with hazy eyes, suddenly raising her finger high, pointing at some star, and said, “Yuan’er, take it down for me! I want to put the star in your eyes!”

Dugu Yuan’an: …

Don’t really want to put a star in my eyes.

Xue Mu said again, “Beat Yu Hanhong to death! Harmed me and harmed Yuan’er, gouge out his eyes!”

Suppressing her laughter, Dugu Yuan’an said seriously, “Don’t you think it’s dirty?”

Xue Mu shook her head and chuckled. “Then Yuan’er help me.”

Dugu Yuan’an said, “I think it’s dirty too, don’t want to help you.”

Xue Mu snorted. “Then I’ll ask A-Ruo to help me!”

Dugu Yuan’an frowned. “She help you? More likely she’ll help her own father beat you.”

Xue Mu thought about her words blankly. Tears suddenly welled up. Sniffling, she stopped talking.

Dugu Yuan’an carried her back to the guest room. During this time, Xue Mu kept silent, looking very lonely.

Knowing she was sad inside despite not saying it, Dugu Yuan’an comforted her, “Mu Ruo is different from us. Actually, if our positions were swapped, I lived in the Xue Manor and she lived in the Dugu Manor, maybe she wouldn’t have been blinded by Yu Hanhong.” And I could have let you know my feelings earlier, she thought, but didn’t say it.

Rubbing her hair, Xue Mu muttered, “Yuan’er, I never blamed her for wanting to kill me. I was just angry because she hurt you, and sad because she was deceived away by Yu Hanhong’s fatherly love—Yu Hanhong is no longer the father in her memory.”

“Maybe Yu Hanhong was that kind of person originally, and Mu Ruo didn’t know.” Dugu Yuan’an said gently, “Mu’er, rest assured. If there is a chance, we will rescue Mu Ruo together and not let her follow Yu Hanhong, okay?”

With that, she tickled Xue Mu’s chin and smiled. “Are you drunk or not?”

“I’m drunk, want Yuan’er to take care of me.” Xue Mu blinked. Dugu Yuan’an kissed her and said, “How do you want me to take care of you?”

Xue Mu’s cheeks were red. Hooking her two index fingers together and swaying them, she whispered, “Will Yuan’er feel that I’m not like the kind of appearance in your impression?”

Dugu Yuan’an was stunned. “What do you mean?”

Xue Mu looked nervously at the window, then lowered her voice even more: “Will Yuan’er look down on me, crying at the drop of a hat…”

Dugu Yuan’an was silent for a long time before wiping away the moisture at the corner of Xue Mu’s eyes.

“I hope you never encounter a time when you want to cry in your life.”
