He paused to think. They were legally married. Why couldn’t they sleep together? Why the hesitation?

He took another sip from the glass. “I’ll tell you once I finish this glass.”

A smile broke over Su Jin’s face. She was no longer cursing him in her thoughts, and she started typing.

“So, what are you waiting for? Drink up! I’m almost late for class.”

Xi Chenxiao gritted his teeth. The mute girl always skipped class, and none of her teachers would think well of her. She must have known it, too.

His mouth lifted in a grin for a split second, and after that, his poker face was back. “Well, you know. Sometimes when people have low tolerance and still have too much to drink, they’ll get wasted, or even have forgotten events, which is called a blackout.”

That was it. Xi Chenxiao was setting up a trap to trick the mute girl.

Yet, Su Jin was in the dark. She couldn’t understand why he’d bring up something about hangovers right now. The more important issue on hand was to get his nod so she could go to school.

Xi Tian fell silent. Of course, he knew the number of shots his boss could gulp down before he went down. And he never did.

Xi Chenxiao’s manipulation game had begun.

His eyes were dark pools of malice, and he smiled like a cunning old fox as he gazed into her eyes. “Do you know what I’m talking about?”

Su Jin nodded.

Something fleeted across his eyes. “Great.” He held up his glass to take another few sips before gulping the whole glass down.

To truly appreciate the red wine flavor, drinking it as slow as possible was common knowledge. It made Su Jin flinch as she saw how he had finished his drink in one second.

Still, she found him dazzling. She imagined having a hot man like him in the future who only and would only love her. He’d give her his credit card, and she’d be free to swipe it anywhere, anytime.

She shook her head back to reality, and it was the devil in front of her. Disappointment rose from the bottom of her heart. As ungenerous as he was, he’d never have let her splurge with his money. Any daydreaming would be pointless.

Xi Chenxiao watched her grin like an idiot and shook her head. Then, he put his glass down. “Here’s my decision. I promise you.”

Su Jin split into a smile. Fingers flying fast on her phone, she played the text, “Thank you, Boss.” Thank him for accepting her request because they weren’t even that close. It was a pain in the *ss to stick around the primary cause of her nightmares. And thank him for being understanding and not forcing her to comply.

He grinned the way villains did when they got their way, and he patted her head. “You’re welcome.” What he would do when they reached their destination was to tell her that he got drunk, had a little too much, and blacked out.

But Su Jin knew none of these. She was even appreciative of the generosity and compassion, and he caught on in the end. She hoped this would be the modus operandi from today onwards.

Xi Tian saw it all through the rear-view mirror. He was beyond shocked.

How could that be the ruthless and vicious Chairman that he knew? How could he act so sweet around the girl? Did she cast a spell on him?

Impossible that the girl could make him change into a different person in just a car ride. Or did she turn the impossible into the possible?
