"Shut up! Don't say a word!" Xu Zixi cried out in a flurry. "Let me, let me calm down!"
What was going on? What exactly had happened last night? Why was he sleeping in her and the kids' bed, and why was she lying on top of him?
Xu Zixi turned her back and gently tapped her forehead with her hand, trying hard to recall the lost memories. But the after - effects of the hangover made her head throb. It took a long time before she gradually remembered.
Last night, he came to her place because he hadn't eaten enough. She made him scallion oil noodles. Then they chatted. He asked her why she had returned to Fengcheng. As she was in a bad mood yesterday, recalling the scene of her death in her past life, she really wanted to pour her heart out to someone. So she asked his assistant to buy some wine. They drank while talking about the original owner's life story, and then she got drunk.
No!!! How could she get drunk? In her past life, she was known as being able to hold her liquor no matter how much she drank! She seemed to have only... only drunk six cans of beer yesterday! How could she get drunk so easily!
Could it be that there was something wrong with the wine bought by this assistant surnamed Yin?!
She turned around and glared at the man sitting on the edge of the bed fiercely. "There must be something wrong with the wine your assistant bought!"
Yan Yincheng waited for a long time before hearing this from her. With a gloomy face, he said, "We drank the same wine, but I'm fine."
Xu Zixi's face flushed red, and she quickly turned around again, turning her back to him. If there was nothing wrong with the wine, then there must be something wrong with the person. Knowing that she was drunk and not leaving her place immediately, he must have had evil thoughts because of her beauty. He deliberately stayed to take advantage of her!
The extremely flustered Miss Xu completely forgot the fact that the other person was blind. She just couldn't believe that she had "slept with" him last night.
She knew it. This man must have had other motives for her!
She remembered that the first time she saw him was in the seafood market. At that time, he followed her and the two kids at a distance. She thought they were just passers - by, but unexpectedly, she found out that they had moved next door to her place that night. After that, he always said some inexplicable things to her. He was even willing to spend five million just to ask her to cook for him. He also misunderstood the pure friendship between her and Brother Hu. Oh, right. He even pinned her against the wall in the experience hall of the zoo!
Yes, it was all this man's doing on purpose!
Turning around, Miss Xu deliberately said in a cold voice, "Last night was just an accident. I drank too much and thought you were my kids, so I... ahem, did that. But Mr. Yin, don't you think you should explain why you didn't leave immediately when you were with a beautiful young girl who was drunk? You should be responsible too, right?"
Yan Yincheng was amused by her.
"Yuan Xi, are you being reasonable? You were the one who drank too much and shouted in the room. I was afraid you would wake the kids up, so I tried to stop you. But then you... flirted with me and fell asleep on me. I was worried that you would catch a cold if you slept in the living room alone, so I kindly wanted to send you back to the bedroom. But you just clung to me and wouldn't let me go. If you don't believe me, don't you believe Yuan Xiaoxuan?"
Yuan Xiaoxuan said seriously from behind her, "Mommy fell asleep last night. Uncle Yin carried Mommy back to the bedroom, but Mommy hugged Uncle Yin and wouldn't let him go. Then, then Uncle Yin fell asleep, and I fell asleep too."
Miss Xu felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She stood there in a daze. It took a long time for her to come to her senses.
How could it be? Did she really make the first move? She, Xu Zixi, had kept her innocence for two lifetimes, but unexpectedly, it was just gone like this in a muddle - headed way?
Looking up and meeting the bright, curious and inquisitive eyes of the two kids, Xu Zixi felt extremely guilty. She stepped forward and grabbed Yan Yincheng's wrist, dragging him into the study and slamming the door shut.
Taking two steps back to keep a distance from him, Xu Zixi said, "We're all adults. Can't we just treat it as an accident? And nothing really happened last night, right?"
Yan Yincheng frowned slightly. As he thought, she didn't admit it after waking up. But he wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity easily! No matter what, he had to get her first!
"But how are you going to explain to the two kids why a man and a woman slept together?"
Xu Zixi was stumped by his question. Right... how could she explain it? If she said that it was normal for a man and a woman to sleep in the same bed, would the two kids turn into womanizers in the future?
"Let me put it another way. If you tell them today that it's normal for a man and a woman to sleep in the same bed. But if you suddenly start a family with another man later and ask your kids to call that man daddy, will they remember today? Will they think that their mother is a promiscuous woman?"
Just thinking about these two possibilities made Xu Zixi's scalp tingle. The education of the two kids was her top priority. She didn't want her actions to affect the two kids and finally lead them to become villains and end up as cannon fodder again.
"So do you have any good solutions?" Xu Zixi asked helplessly, holding her forehead.
"It's simple. Let's get married." Yan Yincheng said.
Xu Zixi quickly shook her head. "No, no! We just slept in the same bed. We didn't do anything. It's not necessary to get married!"
Lord Yan took a deep breath and finally played his trump card. Lowering his head, his voice suddenly became desolate.
"Zixi, I remember you said that the kids' biological father was a scumbag who ran away after sleeping with you. I think you must hate such irresponsible behavior. So you won't be such a person, right? Or do you think I'm blind and a burden, so you'd rather act as if nothing happened?"
Miss Xu just felt her face burning. The words she had so indignantly accused the kids' biological father with were still ringing in her ears, but now she was going to be like that unknown scumbag? This was even more uncomfortable than marrying a stranger!
"Don't misunderstand. I don't think you're a burden just because you're blind. I just... I'm not ready to start a family with someone else yet, so I can't accept it."
Yan Yincheng's heart skipped a beat. He felt that her attitude was softening, so he added more fuel to the fire.
"Don't worry. Our marriage will just be in name. You don't need to fulfill the obligations of a wife. We don't have to live together. We can still live our own lives as before. And I won't interfere with your actions. You can do whatever you want. However, you still need to ensure my three meals a day."
"But what's the benefit of such a marriage for you? You learned about my background last night. With your conditions and wealth, you can marry a better wife, right?"
Xu Zixi was suspicious. The conditions he offered were too good. Any woman would be tempted. But why? Just because they slept in the same bed? Was he a very traditional man who thought that a woman should marry him if he touched her?
