693 Christmas Eve and Vodka

Fortunately, Jiang Chen headed out so Ayesha could finish decorating before Christmas Eve. If he was around to make a "mess", perhaps the decorations wouldn't be up until tomorrow morning. During the evening, Natasha and Xia Shiyu simultaneously showed up at Jiang Chen's place.

"My parents don't celebrate Christmas… And umm, it is a statuary holiday at work, and I have nothing to do. Therefore, I'm here," Xia Shiyu at door, with gifts in her hands, said embarrassedly.

"Don't look at me, I don't have anything on me. If you don't trust me, search for yourself." Natasha raised her eyebrows at Ayesha, fully alerted.

Because of the two girls' visit, the empty mansion became more lively.

Normally, only Ayesha and Jiang Chen stayed there and the two happened to be the quiet type, therefore the massive mansion was always quiet. While Xia Shiyu was not as serious when she is not at work, she was not the vocal type either.

Luckily, Natasha was there. While her careless attitude doesn't mesh too well with Ayesha, she was a great person after all.

On the table was golden roasted turkey, strawberry and mango fruit cake, marzipan, apple pie, cranberry sauce… just looking at it would make people hungry.

The four sat around the table, chatted, and ate.

When they finished half the turkey, Natasha suddenly turned her head and ran into the kitchen; she then came out with a bottle of alcohol.

Jiang Chen saw the bottle and his eyebrows twitched in pain.

Diva Vodka, known as "the world's most attractive vodka". It is priced at between 100,000 and 1,000,000 US Dollar, depending on the level of luxury of the packaging, its year of origin, and its production origin. The alcohol brewing process was also extremely cool. It was first filtered with ice, and then filtered with the Nordic birch charcoal, and finally filtered through precious stones and semi-precious stones, known as the "triple distillation."

And the erected glistening "Swarovski Crystal Wand" at the center of the bottle indicated that this bottle clearly belonging to the 1 million dollar category.

The bottle was a gift from Carmen Rothschild, but Jiang Chen was unwilling to bring it out during this party, and instead kept it as a collectable inside his fridge. It was not because of the money, but rather how difficult it was to obtain one.

"Russia's Christmas Party is a Vodka party. Have a shot?" Natasha opened the bottle and the room was filled with a rich aroma of alcohol.

"What does Christmas have to do with drinking?" Jiang Chen scorned.

Despite his scorn, he still extended his cup.

"Haha, you're welcome." Natasha grinned and poured everyone a shot.

"Don't you think it is odd to say you're welcome to the owner of the bottle?" Jiang Chen sniffed the rich birch aroma and took a sip. When the sweet alcohol rolled down this throat, his eyes lit up.

Great stuff!

… Uhhh.

Fine, he couldn't taste the difference between this and Baijiu.

On the contrary, Natasha finished the cup as if she was drinking water and poured herself another cup.

Jiang Chen instantly learned...

Vodka was not something one savored, but something one chugged!

…But then, why was it sold at the same price as wine!

While he cursed in his mind, Jiang Chen raised his cup, asking Natasha to pour him another one.

Ayesha looked at the cup in front of her with hesitation. Although she followed Jiang Chen's non-religious belief, she still remained cautious with alcohol.

The clear alcohol was like the devil's eyes, pristine but filled with lust.

But when she saw Natasha down a drink and her proactive sight, the girl couldn't withstand it anymore. It was only in front of Jiang Chen did she not want to lose anymore, especially to Natasha who was the "same kind".

Therefore, Ayesha expressionlessly held onto the cup, withstood the pungent smell of alcohol, and downed the drink.

The burning sensation rolled from her throat down into her stomach. It was her first time drinking such high percentage alcohol and tears almost came out of her eyes.

Xia Shiyu covered her mouth and giggled; Natasha who saw her pretending to be tough just burst out laughing.

"Cough, cough, cough!" Natasha couldn't hold it down anymore. She held her burning throat and ran to the kitchen.

Jiang Chen stared at Natasha while the latter just pretended to be innocent while rolling her eyes. She didn't look apologetic at all.

When Ayesha return to the table, she didn't touch the alcohol anymore. Regardless of how Natasha "provoked" her, she just ignored her.

Everyone has their weaknesses.

The small interruption didn't interfere with the mood at the table, or rather, it made the four closer. The saying that three women make for a great show seems true and it was the first time Jiang Chen witnessed it. Even the quiet Ayesha and the standoffish Xia Shiyu began to make conservation under the atmosphere.

They surprisingly shared a similar interest.

Clothes.

Unfortunately, Jiang Chen didn't know anything about this at all. Therefore, he dumbfounded realized that he was the "outcast", unable to join their conversation. But since he was drinking while watching three beauties chat, it was a delightful experience.

Natasha had the most fun drinking.

After a few shots of vodka, her golden hair got stuck to her forehead by the clear sweat drops. Her white shirt began to be stained and it revealed her bra underneath. Jiang Chen who sat across from her didn't know where he should focus his eyes.

Xia Shiyu's alcohol tolerance was only mediocre. After being drunk the last time at the company gathering, she decided to drink more cautiously. Whenever she drank, she at most limited herself to three drinks. But for some reason today, perhaps because of the atmosphere, or perhaps the alcohol Natasha raided out of Jiang Chen's fridge was all ridiculously expensive, she decided to have a few more drinks.

Compared to the boldness of Natasha, Xia Shiyu's gestures were decorated with the elegance of the oriental beauty. The pupils intoxicated by the alcohol cast over a sparkling mist, and the blush on her face was redder.

Even if she was still proper, she was charming.

To be honest, looking at the three beauties in front of his eyes, Jiang Chen who was somewhat drunk almost couldn't contain himself. He just had to keep drinking shot by shot, but he didn't know if drinking now would be helpful.

When the clock struck twelve, no one had the energy left to sing Christmas songs.

Finally, other than Ayesha, the three all had their heads on the table.

The girl helplessly sighed and cleaned up the mess by herself before moving Xia Shiyu and Natasha to the guest rooms.

It took Ayesha quite an effort to move Natasha. When she was carrying her, Natasha kissed her. The shy girl instantly turned red and tossed Natasha on the bed, infuriated. She then threw a blanket on her before escaping from the room.

Jiang Chen was next.

Ayesha gently put him on her shoulder. She felt the warmth behind her bum and the warm breaths that whispered into her ear. Her face was even burning hotter than when she drank the alcohol.

When they went upstairs, she didn't go to the bedroom. Instead, she directly went to the washroom at the end of the hall…
