My Wife Longs for Divorce Every Day-Chapter 555 - : 555, Wanwan is drunk
Chapter 555: 555, Wanwan is drunk
As soon as the man went into the kitchen, Huo Nuanyang turned off the television and went upstairs.
But as he approached the second floor, Grandfather Huo, having put on a jacket, came out.
“Grandpa.”
Grandfather Huo looked at his second grandson, “Why aren’t you taking a rest yet?”
“I’m going to bed now. Grandpa, you should rest early too.”
“Mm.”
Grandfather Huo went downstairs, intending to go to his study, but he heard some rustling noises coming from the kitchen.
He instantly furrowed his brows.
Given the lateness of the hour, the two servants should have finished their work and returned to their rooms to watch the Spring Festival Gala. Why would someone still be in the kitchen?
Who could it be?
It couldn’t be a thief in our house during Chinese New Year, could it?
Grandfather Huo took his walking stick and went to check. But when he reached the kitchen doorway, he found Huo Jingshen bending over and rummaging through the cupboards with a bottle of red wine in his hand.
“What the hell are you doing sneaking around like that!” An alarmingly loud voice suddenly rang out.
Huo Jingshen: “…”
In the end, Huo Jingshen left the kitchen with a dark face, holding two bottles of red wine.
When he entered his room, Grandfather Huo also quickly retreated to his own.
Grandma Huo had just finished her bath. She was now wearing a pink nightgown, a cat-shaped facial mask on her face, and watching Cai Ming’s comedy show for the Spring Festival on the sofa.
Hearing the elderly man’s noise, she scolded impatiently, “Old man, stop making so much noise. It’s late. Don’t wander around outside and disturb Ashen and Wanwan’s rest.”
“Rest! My ass!” Grandfather Huo roared, red-faced and neck bulging.
Grandma Huo was so startled that her facial mask almost fell off, “Old man, why are you getting so angry?”
Grandfather Huo grumbled, “I went downstairs to find a book, and this brat was stealing wine in the kitchen. I was so scared I thought we had a thief in the house.”
“A thief in the house during the New Year? Our grandson and granddaughter-in-law really know how to enjoy life—spending New Year’s Eve behind closed doors, drinking red wine. How romantic,” Grandma Huo said, her eyes sparkling.
Grandfather Huo brushed her off dismissively.
Grandma Huo suddenly moved closer, her hand holding up her facial mask, “Old man, should we… also get romantic?”
Grandfather Huo looked at his wife’s scary cat face, his own turning colder. He leaned his walking stick against the wall, waved her off, and went straight into the bathroom.
The door to the bathroom was closed with a “bang”.
Grandma Huo: “…”
This old man really doesn’t know how to romance!
When he was young, he would concoct all kinds of romantic plans to woo her. Now… he’s just an old grump!
Indeed, all men are insufferable!
Once they get what they want, they start taking it for granted!

In the bedroom next door.
Huo Jingshen returned to the room with a dark face. Su Wanwan immediately snatched the red wine from his hands, “Great job, hubby!”
Just as she was about to open the bottle, Huo Jingshen hugged her tight.
“You ungrateful little thing, I just got caught taking the wine by grandpa.”
Hearing this, Su Wanwan quickly turned around, “You didn’t say it was me who wanted the wine, did you?”
“…No.”
“Good boy!” Su Wanwan hugged him as a reward.
Huo Jingshen’s frown finally eased somewhat.
For her “good daughter-in-law” image, Huo Jingshen was scolded by Grandfather Huo downstairs.
Being scolded for stealing wine and scaring the older generation on Chinese New Year’s Eve was truly ridiculous.
But watching this little girl pour the red wine, sit on the sofa, and enjoy sip after sip with her eyes squinted…
Oh, she was enjoying herself a lot!
Huo Jingshen closed the bedroom door and walked over to her.
“Hmm!”
“This wine is really good!”
“Delicious!” freēnovelkiss.com
Huo Jingshen said, “Lafite from ’82, of course it’s good.”
The wine was brought by Mingzhu. Two bottles were opened during the New Year’s Eve dinner. Huo Juncheng and Huo Zhexi had most of it, while everyone else only had a ceremonial glass each.
Because she ate a lot and drank a little at dinner, Su Wanwan was still craving more wine. Now that they were alone, she held the wine bottle and took one gulp after another. She finished a bottle fast and started opening the second bottle.
Huo Jingshen barely touched his glass. While he was searching for his pajamas in the wardrobe, he turned around and found Su Wanwan already holding the second bottle, ready to drink again.
He walked over and took the wine bottle away, “Stop, you can’t drink any more.”
Having had a bit too much to drink, Su Wanwan protested, “No, I haven’t had enough.”
“You haven’t had enough?” Huo Jingshen shook the bottle, “Almost two bottles now, huh?”
Su Wanwan demanded, “Go steal some more from downstairs for me.”
Steal more?
Huo Jingshen stated categorically, “No!”
Once was embarrassing enough. A second time? Does he no longer care about his dignity?
Besides, considering the late hour…
A moment of romantic spring night is priceless.
It’d be better doing something other than stealing wine.
With a pout on her face, Su Wanwan seemed upset, her cheeks flushed. Whether it was the alcohol or something else, she looked and sounded terribly wronged, “But I want to drink.”
Huo Jingshen immediately stood up, “Get ready for bed. I’ll go run a bath for you.”
Su Wanwan stayed silent.
But when Huo Jingshen came back from preparing the bath, he heard crying sounds coming from the bedroom.
Su Wanwan was lying on the edge of the bed, her eyes filled with tears, breathing heavily as if she had been greatly wronged.
With a sigh, he rubbed his temples, went over and pulled open the blanket, “Why are you crying?”
Su Wanwan sniffled, looking utterly wronged, “I want to drink.”
“You still want to drink? How is it that you can drink so much?” Huo Jingshen couldn’t help but scold her in a low voice.
Su Wanwan pouted and mumbled, “I want to drink! Today is Chinese New Year’s Eve! You’re so unaccommodating!”
Huo Jingshen was so irritated, he pinched her cheek.
