The two returned home, and Yang Xinyi saw Tang Ning come back unscathed, she rushed over excitedly and hugged Tang Ning tightly, tears streaming down her face.

“Xiao Ning, you’re safely back, which is really great. If anything had happened to you, how could I have explained it to auntie?” Yang Xinyi said happily.

Seeing their excitement, Ye Xiong was affected as well and threw his arms open and rushed over, “I’m so happy, so thrilled, so excited.”

“Get lost,”

Yang Xinyi pushed him away with one hand, glaring fiercely at him.

Just by looking at this guy’s behavior, you could tell he was trying to take advantage of the situation.

Ye Xiong chuckled, a spitting image of a big bad wolf.

Having been kidnapped, Tang Ning had barely eaten anything, and naturally, as a renowned chef, Ye Xiong was ordered to make some late-night snacks.

After half an hour, a pot of piping hot porridge was ready. After drinking half of it, Tang Ning suddenly said, “Cousin, do we have any beer at home?”

“I don’t drink, so why would we have that stuff at home?” Yang Xinyi replied.

“But, I want to drink,” Tang Ning whined.

“Want a drink? That’s easy. Brother-in-law will go get it for you.” Hearing that Tang Ning wanted to drink, Ye Xiong got very excited and jumped to his feet. “Alcohol is such a great thing!”

If Yang Xinyi and Tang Ning got warm and happy drinking, got drunk, and started taking off their clothes to dance, it wasn’t impossible.

And if they got drunk, wouldn’t that mean anything could happen?

Engrossed in his wishful thinking, Ye Xiong suddenly realized that Yang Xinyi was shooting daggers at him with her gaze, saying coldly, “I dare you to go buy some.”

“Xiao Ning, it’s not that I won’t help you, it’s that your sister won’t let me,” Ye Xiong sighed.

He knew all too well how icy his wife could be. With her around, it was virtually impossible to have a drink or pull any shenanigans with Tang Ning.

“Sister…” Tang Ning cooed.

“You want to drink? Call your mom. If she agrees, I’ll let you drink right away, as much as you want.” Yang Xinyi took out her phone and placed it on the table.

Seeing the phone, Tang Ning immediately shrank back and kept her head down in silence.

She knew her mother’s temperament all too well. Getting her to agree to let her drink was harder than reaching the heavens.

“Well, will you call?”

Yang Xinyi shot Ye Xiong a glare, clearly saying: Look what you’ve done.

She knew her aunt’s character very well—extremely principled. If she found out Ye Xiong wanted to get her daughter drunk, she would fight for her daughter’s safety, and Yang Xinyi didn’t believe for a second that Ye Xiong, that bad-idea guy, would dare to call her.

But to her surprise, Ye Xiong picked up the phone and said, “You said it yourself, if auntie agrees, you won’t interfere.”

“I won’t interfere at all, you can drink as much as you like,” Yang Xinyi said.

“I have another condition,” Ye Xiong smiled.

“What condition?”

“Not only can you not stop us, but you also have to join us in drinking,” Ye Xiong grinned.

“Fine, we’ll drink,” said Yang Xinyi.

She didn’t believe for a second that Ye Xiong would dare to call her aunt. It was past 10 p.m., and any normal parent would stop their children from drinking at this hour.

“None of you make a sound.” Ye Xiong coughed, made a shushing gesture, and then dialed Yang Yueru’s number.

“Xinyi, you’re still up so late?” came Yang Yueru’s distinctive voice from the other end.

“Auntie, it’s me, Ye Xiong!”

“Oh, Xiong, what’s up? Thinking of calling your auntie at this hour?” Yang Yueru’s voice sounded surprised.

“Nothing much, just calling auntie to see if you’ve gotten home yet?”

“Been home for a while, thanks for the concern, ha!” Yang Yueru laughed on the other end. “Why are you still up? Don’t be lazy, work hard, and give your auntie a little bear cub to hold soon.”

Yang Xinyi was listening nearby, a line of black text forming above her head. This little aunt was way too anxious!

The emperor isn’t in a hurry, but the eunuch is!

Besides, was it even possible that she would have cubs with this guy?

Ye Xiong glanced at Yang Xinyi and laughed with a hehe, “Little aunt, rest assured, we’re working overtime day and night, we’ll definitely fulfill your wish.”

“That’s great, I’m rooting for you!”

“That’s a given.”

Listening in, Yang Xinyi’s face grew redder the more she heard. She couldn’t understand how her usually composed little aunt could lose her restraint when talking to this guy.

If she didn’t know that the person on the other end was her little aunt, she might have thought it was a deeply frustrated spinster!

“Little aunt, actually, I called you because I have something to talk to you about,” Ye Xiong said after chatting for a while and got straight to the point.

“What is it?”

“I want to teach Xiao Ning how to drink beer,” Ye Xiong replied directly.

“How could you, she’s just a high school student.”

“I also think that it’s not good for a high school student to drink, especially girls, it gives a bad impression, but then I thought about it and figured that not knowing how to drink is an even bigger issue,” Ye Xiong pondered and continued, “Last time, I saw a report about a class reunion where some of the women got dizzy after just half a drink. You think about it, Tang Ning also has classmates and will attend reunions. She’ll definitely have to drink sometimes. If she can’t handle a couple of beers, getting dizzy after a few sips will make her a laughing stock among friends. So I want to take these few days to teach her how to drink beer, at least she’ll be able to hold her own with three drinks when out and about. Right?”

On the other end of the phone, Yang Yueru fell silent for a moment before saying, “Alright, then you teach her properly, but don’t let her get drunk, or else I’ll hold you accountable.”

“Why would I let her get drunk? Even if she wanted to, my wife wouldn’t agree!” Ye Xiong winked at Tang Ning, smiled, and then said, “Little aunt, it’s almost half-past ten, get some sleep early. Sleep is a beauty’s worst enemy, you know.”

“Mhm, little aunt will head to bed first, bye.”

“Bye.”

Ye Xiong had just hung up the phone when Tang Ning threw herself onto him, pressing her body against his back, and exclaimed, “Brother-in-law, you’re simply amazing, managing to convince my mom, that old-fashioned person. You’re the best.”

While saying this, Tang Ning jumped about, her hands locked around Ye Xiong’s neck, instantly making him feel overwhelmed.

Good grief, she’s driving me to temptation at a vicious pace!

“Xiao Ning, let go of your brother-in-law. What would people think with you acting like this?” Yang Xinyi saw Tang Ning clinging to Ye Xiong, acting without boundaries, and immediately voiced her criticism.

“I’m just hugging my brother-in-law, and here you are getting jealous, how petty,” Tang Ning reluctantly let go.

“Exactly, jealous Ghost, one should learn to share good things,” Ye Xiong quickly agreed.

This little niece really knows what’s up.

Seeing the two of them acting like lunatics, Yang Xinyi started to get a headache.

“I’m off to buy beer,” Ye Xiong stood up and ran out.

Half an hour later, Ye Xiong returned with two dozen beers and a big bag of barbecued food.

“Food’s here!” Tang Ning stretched out her long claws, grabbed a skewer of lamb, and started eating, marveling non-stop, “So spicy, so exhilarating!”

The place where Ye Xiong got the midnight snack was known for the best barbecue nearby, a place he often went to with King, so naturally, the taste was spot on.

“Stop focusing on the food, let’s drink!” Ye Xiong hurriedly opened a bottle of beer and pushed it in front of her.

Feeling the thrill from the spiciness, Tang Ning quickly grabbed the beer and took a big gulp!

Pfft!

No sooner had the beer hit her throat than she spat it out, spraying it all over Ye Xiong’s face.

“So this is beer, it’s so nasty to drink?” Tang Ning spat out in disgust.

A smear of beer froth trickled down Ye Xiong’s face, an indescribably awkward sight.

“Just now, who was it that said beer is a good thing? Indeed, beer is a good thing.” Even though Yang Xinyi usually didn’t indulge in laughter, seeing Ye Xiong’s state, she couldn’t help but laugh until she doubled over.
