Chapter 246 - One Hour Away, Only Half an Hour Left!
“Miss, hurry up and eat quickly.”
Xiangyi deliberately changed the topic to end the conversation they had earlier.
Shi Nuannuan pouted because she did not want to force him if he did not enjoy eating this kind of food. At this time, she suddenly glanced at the wine rack behind Xiangyi.
“Do you enjoy drinking then? I’ll get some red wine for you!”
After that, she got up and walked toward the wine rack behind him immediately.
After all, all of these were high-quality red wine that her brother had kept and treasured for a long time!
“No need, Miss. I won’t be drinking tonight!”
Xiangyi could not help but speak up as soon as he saw Shi Nuannuan getting up. However, Shi Nuannuan insisted on getting some wine.
She knew very well that the higher the position the wine was placed, the better the quality of the wine. Therefore, Shi Nuannuan naturally wanted to take the bottle of red wine that was placed on the highest shelf.
However, the wine rack was specifically made in accordance to her brother’s height. So, it was obviously beyond Shi Nuannuan’s reach at the moment.
In order to get a bottle of red wine from the highest row, Shi Nuannuan moved one of the chairs over as she climbed and stood on top of the chair to reach the bottle of wine from the highest row. She was certain that it could be done!
However, as soon as she grabbed hold of a bottle of high-quality red wine, she lost grip of the bottle because it was too slippery. The bottle of red wine fell to the ground and instantly shattered. The dark red liquid spilled all over the floor, and it was a messy situation.
As soon as she saw the mess that she had created, Shi Nuannuan panicked and seemed distressed.
If her brother found out about this, he would definitely scold her!
All the maids had already gotten off work. Therefore, Shi Nuannuan would have to clean up the mess on her own.
As she squatted down and was about to pick up the pieces of glass scattered on the ground, Xiangyi suddenly came over and said, eagerly, “Be careful!”
Xiangyi could not stop himself from exclaiming out loud when he saw that she was about to pick up the glass shards with her bare hands.
Shi Nuannuan raised her head, and she could see Xiangyi walking toward her.
“I will do it. Don’t move.”
When she saw that he was being so cautious and worried about her, Shi Nuannuan smiled before she replied, “It’s okay. I am not a kid anymore.”
Shi Nuannuan lowered her head and reached out her hand to pick up the glass shards on the ground.
As soon as she touched one of the glass fragments, she suddenly felt a tingling sensation, and she frowned from the pain.
“Ouch…”
Shi Nuannuan quickly retracted her hand and at this time, there was red blood oozing from her index finger.
When Xiangyi saw that her finger was bleeding, he subconsciously grabbed hold of her hand and placed her bleeding index finger in his mouth, without even thinking about what he was doing. After that, he continued sucking her index finger to stop the bleeding.
Shi Nuannuan was stunned because of his sudden reaction, and she could only stare blankly at him as he continued sucking her index finger.
At this time, the person in the master bedroom on the second floor opened the door as she snuck out quietly.
She walked down the stairs slowly, and when she saw that there was no one in the living room, she hurried down immediately.
Since there was no one there to stop her, Zuo Weiyi quickly opened the door and headed to the garage before she drove her red Maserati out in a hurry.
She was one hour away but there was only half an hour left!
As soon as they heard the sound of the car engine, Shi Nuannuan and Xiangyi suddenly came back to their senses.
Xiangyi let go of Shi Nuannuan’s hand, and he walked to the living room immediately. As he looked out the door, all that he could see was the car leaving the gate in a hurry.
Sure enough, Zuo Weiyi was not feeling unwell!
“Is that Weiyi? It’s already so late at night. Where is she going?” Shi Nuannuan asked when she saw the familiar red Maserati leaving the house.
Xiangyi raised his brows slightly before he turned his head and said to Shi Nuannuan, “Please be good and stay at home. Put some medication and wrap a bandage around your wound!”
