 Chapter 107: Extra Ten

Qiao Dai woke up, her head still feeling a bit groggy.

The bedroom window had already been opened, and the white curtains swayed gently with the breeze. The fresh air from outside blew in, gradually clearing Qiao Dai’s still-dazed mind. Memories from the previous day began to surface slowly.

It was the first time Qiao Dai had gotten so drunk. When she recalled the things she said to Cheng Su the previous night, her face instantly flushed red.

She lifted the blanket and got out of bed, heading to the bathroom for a quick wash. She then casually picked an outfit from the many spare clothes Cheng Su had prepared for her and stepped out of the room.

The weather today was exceptionally good. The bright sunlight poured into the villa, adding a touch of warmth to the vast space.

Qiao Dai came out of the bedroom but didn’t see Cheng Su. She walked down the hallway and heard some noise coming from the terrace on the second floor. Curious, she walked over.

“Tell Yan Lang to get the documents to me before 2 o’clock.”

Some employees still doubted that Cheng Su would ever date anyone. But after seeing his softened gaze in the video today, they suddenly realized that the rumors were not baseless.

The men might not have noticed, but the female manager who was reporting to Cheng Su certainly did. She felt something different in today’s meeting.

Usually, Cheng Su listened to their reports with a frown. He never seemed annoyed, but it was clear he found them tedious. His dark eyes were like black glass, reflecting their figures without much emotional fluctuation.

The female manager sneaked a glance at the screen, thinking to herself that Cheng Su could indeed have such a gaze. Though his face didn’t change much, it was like ice meeting the spring breeze. The icy stillness in his eyes seemed to melt, as if a bit of life had flowed into them.

“The financial report for Beidao in the last quarter…”

Cheng Su was speaking when he suddenly felt his throat becoming uncomfortable. He coughed a few times and reached for his neck, trying to continue, only to be interrupted by more coughing.

Instinctively, he turned his head and scanned the table. At that moment, a slender hand appeared in his field of vision—Qiao Dai handed him a glass of water.

Cheng Su made a pause gesture toward the camera, removed his wireless earpiece, and softly said to Qiao Dai, “Thank you.”

The employees on the other side of the video froze for a moment. All they saw was a brief glimpse of a fair, delicate arm, which looked as smooth as jade under the sunlight. It was clear that the owner of the hand was a young woman. Coupled with Cheng Su’s slightly hoarse but especially gentle “thank you,” everyone became certain—

Their boss was really in a relationship!

Although they were curious, their professionalism prevented them from prying into their superior’s private life. They stopped at that moment, feeling only a faint sense of surprise.

It turned out that even Cheng Su could fall in love.

They had thought that, by the time he reached his position, feelings would become trivial. Who could have guessed that one day they would see such an expression on their boss’s face? It was quite a shock.

“Continue.”

When Cheng Su turned back, his face had returned to its usual cold demeanor, as if that brief moment of softness had been nothing more than a mirage. He tapped his fingers on the table, reminding everyone to proceed with the meeting.

The manager snapped back to reality and quickly resumed her report.

—

By the time the meeting ended, it was almost noon. Cheng Su closed his laptop, removed his headset, and stood up from the chair. He glanced inside the house and walked in, finally noticing Qiao Dai rummaging through the fridge.

“Are you done?” 

Hearing footsteps, Qiao Dai poked her head out from behind the fridge door. After thinking for a moment, she quickly closed the fridge door and hurried over to the bar counter to sit down. Seemingly a bit embarrassed, she hesitated for a moment before speaking, “I was going to cook, but there’s nothing in the fridge.”

Cheng Su pulled out a chair and sat next to Qiao Dai. Hearing her words, he raised his eyebrows slightly, as if recalling something. After a moment, he gave a soft “hmm” and leaned his elbow on the bar counter, turning his head to look at her. “I live alone, so I don’t really use the kitchen.”

He raised his eyebrows again, giving her a probing look. “When you move in, we can go buy kitchenware together… How about that?”

Hearing Cheng Su’s suggestion, Qiao Dai’s eyes flickered. Her eyelashes trembled slightly as if she was envisioning the future. A small smile appeared on her lips, but she replied, “We’ll see. I’m not sure if I’ll even cook.”

Back when she lived in a dorm, she and her roommates would occasionally cook together out of boredom. Over time, she picked up a few things but wasn’t exactly an expert. It was enough to satisfy her hunger, but there was no need for high expectations.

Cheng Su, however, took her response as a yes. He smiled and said, “If you don’t feel like cooking, I’ll learn. It’ll come in handy.”

Liking someone probably means that you start planning everything for the future in your mind, and then you start moving step by step toward that future.

Qiao Dai and Cheng Su chatted for a while longer. At some point, Cheng Su had some food delivered. After they finished eating, Cheng Su went to the wine cabinet and took out several bottles of different types of wine, placing them on the table.

“What are you doing?”

Qiao Dai looked over in confusion. She saw red wine, white wine, and who knew what else.

Knowing nothing about alcohol, Qiao Dai could only distinguish them by color. Even so, she could tell the wines were different types.

Cheng Su opened a bottle of wine but didn’t pour much, just a small amount into a glass.

He raised his head and asked, “How much did you drink with them last night?”

Hearing his question, Qiao Dai suddenly felt guilty. She blinked, silently counting in her head, and uncertainly replied, “Eight or nine glasses?”

She couldn’t remember exactly how much she had drunk, and the taste of the wine was already a blur. It was as if she had been drinking water instead of alcohol.

Seeing her guilty expression, Cheng Su knew she had definitely drunk more than that. He was so annoyed that he wanted to bite her, but seeing that this little sea otter had just woken up from a hangover, he decided to let it slide for now.

“Then we’ll drink eight glasses.”

Cheng Su said this as if they were attending a tasting event. He poured eight glasses of wine, starting from white to red, light to heavy. “I’ll drink with you.”

Qiao Dai stared at the shimmering liquid in the glasses, not understanding what Cheng Su was doing. She thought he just wanted to drink with her, so she didn’t overthink it. She nodded and picked up the glass in front of her.

Only then did she notice that Cheng Su had poured her just a little bit of each wine, barely enough for a sip. She took a sip, and unlike the wine from the previous night, this one was soft and had a sweet aftertaste. It had a hint of apple and citrus, with a smooth and light texture.

After finishing the first glass, Qiao Dai instinctively picked up the second. Cheng Su, holding his own glass, explained, “This one is a Riesling from Rheingau, vintage 1982.”

Every time Qiao Dai drank a glass, Cheng Su would explain it to her. She listened intently, like a student, full of curiosity and interest in these things she didn’t know about.

After finishing all the glasses, Qiao Dai started to feel a little tipsy again. A thin layer of mist appeared in her eyes. She heard Cheng Su’s voice say, “Do you remember them?”

Qiao Dai shook her head, feeling a bit embarrassed as she looked up at Cheng Su. Just as she was about to speak, Cheng Su said, “It’s okay.”

Qiao Dai looked up and saw Cheng Su raise his eyebrows, clearly in a good mood. She blinked, confused.

Had Cheng Su… gotten drunk?

Looking at the dazed Qiao Dai, Cheng Su just smiled and gently brushed his thumb over the corner of her eye, which had turned red from the alcohol. Then he kissed her cheek.

—

A few days later.

After finishing a filming session, Qiao Dai was dragged by the crew to celebrate with some drinks. When she raised her glass, she frowned.

Too harsh!

The bitter taste of the alcohol made her cough twice. She put down her glass and quickly waved her hand at the staff who came to toast her, signaling that she wouldn’t drink anymore.

How strange. It hadn’t tasted this bad before.

Not good at all.

Qiao Dai thought to herself, feeling a little disappointed.

So when Cheng Su opened his social media later, he saw that Qiao Dai had posted a message:

“I’m not drinking anymore from now on.”

Cheng Su raised his eyebrows and casually gave it a like.

Taste buds are delicate, but Qiao Dai clearly hadn’t realized that yet.
