4411 The Other Side 380

Gong Jie blew his top. “Is it that funny?”

“Xiao Jie, are these wines a matter of your life and death?” she asked with a pout.

The man said matter-of-factly, “Of course, these wines are my lifeblood.”

“In that case, are these wines more important than I am?” She cunningly led him into her trap bit by bit.

Gong Jie objected. “Of course not. Of course, you’re more important.”

“Then I’d like you to share this wine with everyone. We’ve already drunk it, but you’re pulling a long face. If we don’t enjoy the wine to our heart’s content, won’t it lose its value?”

The man was speechless. What she said made sense. He could not refute her.

“Let it go.” Yun Shishi came over and patted him gently on the shoulder, handing him a glass. “Drink up! It’s a rare happy occasion worth celebrating. Don’t look so glum, eh?”

For her sake, the man’s anger quickly dissipated. He quietly took the glass and took a sip. Observing this, Hua Jin immediately retreated in fear. No matter what, he had to stay away from this Demon King.

“Mommy, I want some too.” Little Yichen suddenly ran over with a goblet in his hand and looked eagerly at the sherry.

Yun Shishi said, “No, children are not supposed to drink.”

“It’s just red wine. It’s not a big deal. Besides, there’s such limited production of this Sherry. When I grow up, I may no longer have the chance to taste it.”

Heartbreak.

These words were undoubtedly another blow to Gong Jie.

Exactly.

This wine would only decrease the more he drank because there was limited production of it. If he wanted to drink it again in the future, he may indeed not have the chance.

Unable to dissuade Little Yichen, Yun Shishi had to pour him half a glass.

Seeing that his older brother was drinking, Youyou hankered after the same. He brought the goblet to his mother and asked for half a glass.

“Cheers!”

“Cheers!”

Clink!

The sound of glasses knocking against each other.

The few of them raised their goblets and drank.

Yun Shishi walked up to Gong Jie and winked playfully. “Come, let’s toast.”

For some reason, the gloominess in his heart was swept away when he saw her gentle smile.

He cheerfully picked up his goblet and clinked it against hers.

“Bottoms up.”

“My pleasure. Drink up.”

Yun Shishi seemed to be in high spirits, so she finished the wine in her glass in a gulp. With a smile, Gong Jie downed his drink as well.

One had to enjoy life to the fullest. Cherish every day and every moment. This was the ultimate meaning of happiness!

Gong Jie raised his wine glass and looked at the moon through the transparent crystal glass. His eyes narrowed, and his soul seemed to be drawn away.

The sea breeze blew gently, making people feel at ease.

Yun Shishi was soon half-drunk.

Alice, Hua Jin, and Natalia surrounded the barbecue pit and spared no effort in roasting as many scallops as they could. Hua Jin was inexperienced, but Alice had always lived by the sea, so she had many tricks for roasting scallops and oysters.

In no time, an alluring aroma filled the air with the help of the sea breeze.

“Smells heavenly.”

The few little gluttons smelled the aroma and walked over. Alice plated the roasted scallops and oysters and sprinkled some seasonings on them. It was comparable to a barbecue feast in a five-star restaurant.

“If I’d known better, I’d think you were a five-star chef,” the actor complained silently.

When Alice heard this, she did not think much of it. “Why? The chefs on the island are far better at roasting these than I. I only learnt it secretly.”
