Chapter 1385 - 1378: Gathering and Parting (2)
Xue Feifei turned her head and saw indeed an opened bottle of red wine on the table. Yu Sixing paced unconcernedly around until he reached the wine, then poured it into the glass: "1995 Mouton (one of the five first-growth estates in France). I recall you rambled about this last time. Today, I was lucky enough to encounter a wine merchant and got a bottle. Pity there’s no stellar dish to accompany it."
Xue Feifei looked at his silhouette from behind. Even though Yu Sixing had initially imposed himself quite forcefully, he genuinely took good care of her, both in terms of meticulous planning for her career and attending to her daily life. She liked drinking and had mentioned wanting to try the top vineyards of France; he indeed managed to get one for her.
Yu Sixing turned around and handed her a glass of red wine, then took one for himself. He took a sip, his eyes narrowing slightly: "The tannins are strong, robust bones, quite rich, and well-preserved. It’s a pity it hasn’t opened up yet (not sufficiently aerated); it should be let to breathe for another two hours."
However, Xue Feifei wasn’t in the mood to drink. She gently swirled her stemmed glass, releasing a rich aroma of smoke, cedarwood, and blackcurrant sweetness. Amidst the vinous fragrance, she was rather lucid: "Did your family arrange a blind date for you?"
Xue Feifei always spoke plainly, whether in matters of affection or work. Yu Sixing was startled for a moment, realizing she must have heard it from Lu Weixi after meeting her tonight. He didn’t deny it: "There are so many significant issues, yet they add this mess at such a critical time."
His straightforward acknowledgment left Xue Feifei uncertain of how to continue. Originally, this relationship had been aggressively pursued by Yu Sixing while she passively accepted, but at this point, dwelling on how it started was meaningless. She liked him and was focused on the present and future.
Xue Feifei lifted her wine glass and drank it all at once, setting down the glass with a bit of a flourish: "If you plan to leave, just go, but make sure to tell me first. I won’t be a mistress nor be kept in the dark."
