Chapter 25 -25 That’s the Wedding Night
So, when Xu Jinzhi’s car was about to reach the residential area, she immediately saw Xie Yanchuan, who had been waiting at the entrance. Xu Jinzhi couldn’t help but smile.
It was possible to park outside the residential area, and Xie Yanchuan directed Xu Jinzhi to park there. After parking and getting out of the car, Xie Yanchuan prepared to lead Xu Jinzhi inside.
Xu Jinzhi said, “Wait for me a moment.”
Xie Yanchuan didn’t know what she intended to do, only to see Xu Jinzhi walking around to the passenger side, bending over to take something from the passenger seat.
By the time Xie Yanchuan realized what it was, he was somewhat surprised, but he quickly concealed his astonished expression.
Perhaps he was overthinking it; Xu Jinzhi bringing wine didn’t mean they would drink it today—it was just a polite gesture to not arrive empty-handed.
“Let me carry it.” Holding two bottles, Xu Jinzhi was slightly inconvenienced, so Xie Yanchuan quickly reached out to help.
Without saying much, Xu Jinzhi glanced at Xie Yanchuan and handed him one of the bottles before they both, each holding a bottle, walked into the residential area together.
“Is dinner ready?” Xu Jinzhi casually asked.
Xie Yanchuan shook his head. “Not yet. There are two dishes that I need to cook fresh for the best taste.”
Wasn’t it exactly because take-out wasn’t as tasty that she was now rightfully entering his home?
So when Xie Yanchuan said this, Xu Jinzhi couldn’t help but want to laugh, but trying not to be too offensive, she kept her laughter to herself.
A few minutes later, they had arrived at Xie Yanchuan’s front door, which had a fingerprint lock. Xie Yanchuan pressed his finger onto it, and the door opened. He entered first and then took out a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet.
“Wear these,” Xie Yanchuan said to Xu Jinzhi.
Clearly seeing that the slippers were new, Xu Jinzhi wanted to tease Xie Yanchuan and purposely said, “I don’t want them if they’ve been worn by another girl.”
Xie Yanchuan was silent for a few seconds before explaining, “No one else has, I bought them this morning.”
In fact, when he was abroad, he often cooked for himself, but after returning to China, Xie Yanchuan seldom did so, and there wasn’t much food left at home. The ingredients for today’s meal were all bought from the supermarket that morning.
And he had incidentally bought the slippers at the supermarket since no one usually visited, and there weren’t any spare slippers at home.
“Oh, so you prepared them especially for me,” Xu Jinzhi said meaningfully, picking up the pair of slippers amidst Xie Yanchuan’s somewhat embarrassed expression, “Thank you.”
Xie Yanchuan didn’t say anything, just silently moved aside to make it easier for Xu Jinzhi to change shoes.
After Xu Jinzhi had put on the slippers, Xie Yanchuan led her inside, “There are still two dishes I haven’t cooked; I’ll go and do that now. You can relax for a while.”
“Okay,” Xu Jinzhi nodded in agreement.
“There’s some cut fruit on the coffee table,” Xie Yanchuan added before turning and slowly walking towards the kitchen as if he found it hard to leave Xu Jinzhi.
It was only after Xie Yanchuan went to the kitchen that Xu Jinzhi began to look around the apartment. She had been here in her previous life, so nothing felt unfamiliar, but it had been such a long time, and returning here now was somewhat emotional.
Not dwelling on her thoughts for too long, Xu Jinzhi soon stood at the kitchen doorway but didn’t enter. Instead, she leaned against the doorframe with a smile, watching Xie Yanchuan busy himself in the kitchen.
Xie Yanchuan turned around and saw Xu Jinzhi at the door, thinking she needed something, he casually asked, “Is there something you need?”
Xu Jinzhi shook her head and said solemnly, “I can’t help, but I can stay here with you.”

Those words left Xie Yanchuan speechless again; he could only quickly divert his gaze and continue cooking as if nothing had happened.
Fortunately, Xie Yanchuan finished cooking soon and called Xu Jinzhi to eat. Xu Jinzhi responded, then came over with a bottle of wine, “Could you get the bottle opener for me?”
Xie Yanchuan didn’t move immediately; instead, he hesitantly said, “You drove here; you can’t drink.”
“I can get a Driver,” Xu Jinzhi said.
Xie Yanchuan frowned slightly, seemingly lost in thought.
Xu Jinzhi continued, “Of course, if you want me to stay overnight, that’s not impossible either.”
Xie Yanchuan, who had been somewhat worried, turned red when he heard what Xu Jinzhi said. His eyes widened slightly, as if he could not believe Xu Jinzhi had said those words.
But Xu Jinzhi smiled genuinely, unaffected even as Xie Yanchuan stared at her, feeling nothing wrong with what she had just said.
Xie Yanchuan stood up and left, his movement suggesting he was fleeing the scene.
“Bring two glasses!” Xu Jinzhi called out.
Indeed, when Xie Yanchuan returned, he brought two glasses, but he told Xu Jinzhi, “I’m not drinking. I’ll take you home later.”
Xu Jinzhi shook her head, “No need, I can have the Driver come pick me up.”
Her eyes and brows smiled as if she had seen through Xie Yanchuan’s thoughts, and Xie Yanchuan said nothing more.
Xu Jinzhi truly loved the dishes Xie Yanchuan made; she couldn’t stop praising them from the first bite.
To say Xie Yanchuan wasn’t a bit happy would be a lie. No one could be unhappy when their skills are affirmed by others.
However, Xie Yanchuan wasn’t a good drinker, and after Xu Jinzhi toasted with him a few times, he felt he might have drunk a bit too much.
So when Xu Jinzhi tried to pour him another drink, he refused, “I’m not drinking anymore.”
Xu Jinzhi slightly tilted her head and looked at Xie Yanchuan, “Drank too much?”
Xie Yanchuan didn’t deny it, nodding honestly, “Yes, feeling a bit dizzy.”
After a pause, Xie Yanchuan added, “You should stop drinking too; it’s not good for your health.”
In her past life, Xu Jinzhi often heard Xie Yanchuan say similar things, as she couldn’t avoid social drinking due to her job. Xu Jinzhi nodded without contradicting him.
But after putting down her glass, Xu Jinzhi teased Xie Yanchuan again, “Your drinking tolerance is so poor, what would you do if you got drunk at our wedding?”
At that moment, Xie Yanchuan frowned slightly, really thinking about what he would do if he got drunk after just two drinks on his wedding day.
Seeing Xie Yanchuan like that, Xu Jinzhi knew he hadn’t grasped what she really meant. She chuckled inwardly and couldn’t help leaning closer to Xie Yanchuan.
“That’s the wedding night, what a shame it would be if you passed out,” Xu Jinzhi whispered in Xie Yanchuan’s ear, her breath warm, causing Xie Yanchuan to feel a tingling sensation across his body.
