Chapter 2740: Chapter 2740: Step by Step into Her Heart (Part 4)

Meimei was in the middle of speaking when she let out a hiccup.

It seemed she was drunk before she even started drinking.

Her delicate face was flushed, glowing with a lustrous sheen, her small mouth pursed, occasionally pouting, as if in a dilemma.

Since leaving the Zhong Family estate, he could sense something was off with her, but she wouldn’t speak up and he couldn’t force her.

"This is really delicious, I can’t find it anywhere outside." Meimei picked up a spicy crayfish, smiling with her eyes bent in delight.

She was just about to peel the shrimp when Dan Tingye took the gloves from her.

He put on the gloves, took the crayfish from her hand, easily peeled it, and brought it to her lips.

"..."

Meimei paused, raised her head dazedly, looking at his doting expression; she moved her lips as if to say something, but in the end just obediently ate the shrimp.

Dan Tingye said nothing; as she ate, he peeled more for her.

He fed, and she kept eating.

Like they were under a spell, they didn’t stop until they finished a whole plate of crayfish. Only then did Dan Tingye pause and took off the gloves.

Looking at the chili on his hands, he squinted his mischievous eyes slightly, "I’m going to wash my hands."

He had a slight cleanliness obsession, usually kept in check, but well-hidden.

Watching his back, Meimei’s delighted face suddenly turned desolate, looking at the pile of shrimp shells he peeled, Zhong Qing’s angry words flashed in her mind.

Anyone could like him, except her...

Others could laugh at her, but she didn’t want him to become a joke too.

-

When Dan Tingye returned from the washroom, Meimei was already slumped on the table, drunk.

There were at least seven or eight empty cans beside her.

If it weren’t for Yao guarding outside, she might have been carried off without realizing.

"Young master, Miss Meimei doesn’t seem to be in a good mood; after you left, she stared blankly for a while then drank herself drunk." Yao reported respectfully as he approached.

Dan Tingye’s eyes tightened, he said nothing, and carried her petite figure horizontally, stepping out of the store.

"Hmm..."

Though drunk, Meimei was still aware; noticing someone approach, she squinted her beautiful eyes to see Dan Tingye, then snuggled into his chest murmuring softly before falling back asleep.

Meimei drank too quickly; on the way back, she couldn’t help but vomit.

Yao urgently stopped the car by the roadside, and she pushed the door open and dashed out, vomiting until she was dizzy.

Dan Tingye tried to help, but she shoved him away.

"Don’t touch me, I’m not drunk; if you help me, it means you despise me. I’m good at holding my liquor!" Meimei stood up from the ground, her face flushed, trying to point at Dan Tingye but ended up pointing at herself.

She truly was drunk, and started acting out.

Dan Tingye stood there, rubbing his brow, refraining from forcefully helping her, only standing less than a meter away, letting her walk by herself.

Who knew, after just two steps, she’d stop again.

Turning back, looking at Dan Tingye following her, she pouted, "I’m drunk yet you’re not helping me, how could you be so heartless?"

"..."

Did she even remember what she just said?

Dan Tingye looked at her muddled eyes, stepped forward, scooped her up horizontally, and carried her back to the car.

"Drive!"
