Chapter 33: She’s Drunk
“He fell asleep.”
Enzo: “Will he be alright at home alone? Should we bring him along to the estate?”
“No need, he’s very well-behaved. Besides, calculating by his cycle, this sleep should last for at least ten days or more.”
“Ten days or more? What kind of tiger sleeps that much?”
Su Miantang smiled.
When he wakes up this time, his wing should be fully healed.
Mountain View – Earl’s Estate.
Early in the morning, Countess Joy had been busy organizing the estate’s decorations, ingredients, and guests, so much so that when Su Miantang arrived, she was startled by the grand spectacle.
She had thought it would just be an ordinary meal, but now it looked more like a grand banquet. The invited guests gathered around her, full of curiosity.
“You are so beautiful~”
“I heard you’re a researcher at the Imperial National Academy of Sciences, that’s simply amazing!”
“Miss Su is so young, beautiful, and smart, no wonder…”
Their gossipy gazes shifted toward Fred and Enzo behind her. To be able to simultaneously capture the hearts of the Imperial Twin Stars—everyone knew they had even rejected the Princess!
“The banquet is ready, what are you all still chatting about?” Countess Joy walked over and enthusiastically took Su Miantang’s hand. “Miantang, come quickly and sit with me.”
“Countess, this is all far too grand today. You’re too polite.”
“What is this? Since Fred and Enzo have already become your Guardians, we’re a family from now on.”
Hearing the word ‘family’, Fred and Enzo’s ears turned slightly red. Countess Joy smiled and seated her right between the two brothers.
Throughout the banquet, Su Miantang barely had to lift her chopsticks.
With just a single glance, Fred and Enzo would scramble over each other to serve her food, scoop her soup, and wipe her mouth… Countess Joy was dumbfounded watching from across the table. She knew her two sons really liked Miantang, but she had no idea they liked her to this extent. If there weren’t outsiders present, they’d probably be itching to pick up her bowl and feed her themselves.
They had practiced martial arts since childhood, and like most military men, their temperaments were rough and informal. When had they ever been so gentle and attentive to anyone?
However, it seemed they were a bit too gentle, appearing overly polite.
Sometimes, females didn’t completely prefer males who were excessively polite and measured.
Thinking this, she raised a glass of wine. “Miantang, since you’ve come to our banquet today, I have three glasses of wine to toast you with.”
Three glasses?
Hearing this, Fred was just about to object, but was stopped by a look from Joy.
Enzo was puzzled.
What was Mother trying to do? Downing three of these three-inch-tall glasses would be too much even for an average male; Tangtang would definitely get drunk.
“Mother…”
“It’s fine, Enzo.”
When an elder offers a toast, how could she possibly refuse?
Su Miantang felt quite confident in her alcohol tolerance. She had out-drunk many colleagues in the past; three glasses were nothing.
“This first glass is to congratulate you on successfully entering the National Academy of Sciences and becoming a researcher, bringing glory to us females!”
“Thank you, Countess.”
Su Miantang downed it in one gulp, finding the taste quite pleasant.
“This second glass is to thank you for bringing the suppressant and saving my two sons from the fire.”
“It was the least I could do; they saved me too.”
Su Miantang finished the second glass.
Just as Countess Joy was preparing to toast the third glass, Fred couldn’t help but grab her hand. “Tangtang, that’s enough. Don’t drink anymore, you’ll get drunk.”
“It’s fine, it’s just the last glass.”
“Exactly, Fred. You’re not even as sensible as Tangtang.”
“This third glass is to congratulate my two sons for having the honor of becoming your Guardians. I hope that under their care, you will be happy, joyful, and safe all your life.”
“Since it’s a toast to us, we’ll drink it on her behalf.”
Fred snatched the wine glass, and Enzo poured himself another. The two drank it down for her simultaneously.
Su Miantang found it amusing and shook her head, feeling they were underestimating her far too much. What were two glasses of wine? She could… wait, something was wrong with this wine.
Why was it so strong?
Suddenly, a world-spinning wave of dizziness washed over her.
The wine glass slipped from her hand, and even while seated, her body swayed unsteadily.
“Tangtang, what’s wrong?”
Enzo was quick-eyed and deft-handed, immediately supporting her.
Fred also rushed over to check on her. Just as expected, she was drunk.
“Mother.”
“Why are you still calling me Mother? Miantang is drunk, can’t you see? Hurry up and take her upstairs to attend to her.”
Take her upstairs to a-attend to her?
Mother’s meaning was… Fred and Enzo were instantly stunned.
They couldn’t!
They were still in the process of pursuing Tangtang. They hadn’t confessed their feelings, much less initiated courtship. They needed to maintain a certain distance. Taking advantage of her vulnerability at a time like this would guarantee that Tangtang would hate them when she woke up.
“What are you staring blankly for?”
“Can’t you see Tangtang is uncomfortable?”
Were these two foolish boys really planning to just be Guardians for the rest of their lives?
Fred looked down and saw the girl slumped on the table, her eyes slightly closed as soft groans escaped her throat. She truly looked uncomfortable.
Bending down, he scooped her up into a princess carry.
“Brother, you!”
Seeing this, Enzo immediately grew angry.
He was actually taking advantage of Tangtang while she was drunk!
He hadn’t even hugged Tangtang yet!
“Enzo.”
Countess Joy frowned, scolding him with a look.
A jealous male was no virtue. Moreover, the other party was his own brother; the two brothers taking good care of Miantang together was the right path.
Enzo understood and quickly chased after them.
The potent alcohol rapidly numbed her brain and eroded her memory. In a hazy daze, feeling her body suspended in the air, Su Miantang thought she was back home.
But… why was it so hot around her? It felt as if someone was snuggling tightly against her.
Was it Lanlan?
This audacious tiger actually dared to sneak into her bed while she was asleep again. Watch how she’d teach him a good lesson.
Opening her mouth, she bit down hard on his ear.
“!”
Fred, who was rushing upstairs, instantly froze.
His Adam’s apple had been captured by the girl. A warm, damp sensation suddenly struck him, accompanied by the faint feeling of a delicate tongue lightly sweeping back and forth along the sliding curve of his throat. It was fatally tantalizing.
His body trembled slightly, his face already flushing an ungodly shade of red. The arms wrapping around her tightened, then tightened again, holding her so fiercely it was as if he wanted to press her straight into his body.
“Mnn…”
He was so excited that his entire body reacted, yet Su Miantang seemed somewhat dissatisfied with the texture.
“Lanlan, why did your ear get so hard? It doesn’t taste good…”
Her swaying head rubbed gently against his chest like a spoiled pet. Her complaining whimpers, tender and soft with a trace of drunken panting, sent Fred’s blood surging straight to his brain. He felt completely off-kilter.
Every step he took felt like treading on the tips of blades, incredibly arduous.
This feeling was a bit like that day when he had been induced into estrus by pheromones. But back then, facing the Princess, he only felt painful torment. Now, he was steeped in sweetness. The only torment was that he couldn’t…
“Tang… Tangtang…”
Don’t tempt him like this. He had absolutely zero resistance against her. If she said even one more word, he feared he might commit a crime.
He gritted his teeth, suppressed his desires, and had to rely on his combat power just to carry her up to the second-floor bedroom.
Enzo came in right after.
“Enzo, watch her for a moment.”
“I’m going to fetch some water to wipe her sweat.”
“Okay.”
The girl was placed on the large bed. Her exposed, snow-white skin formed a sharp contrast with the dark red sheets, delivering a powerful visual impact.
Enzo stared at her in a trance, completely unable to tear his gaze away.
His eyes trailed from her charming and moving face down to her delicate, thin collarbones, her high and full chest, and the dramatically contrasting slender waist, followed by her long, straight legs…
He couldn’t keep looking. If he looked any longer, his wolfish nature would completely burst out.
