The moment Nian Mu raised his eyes, his eyes met, and his heart suddenly trembled.
Zhou Xiaosu took out a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet and said with a smile: "I'm happy today, let's have a drink. Although the dishes on this table are all Chinese food, it is a bit strange to pair them with red wine, but we are all friends, so there is no need to care.
It’s so clear, right?”
Nian Mu's current drinking capacity is not bad, and he has not driven here. It is not inconvenient to go back later, so he nodded and said: "Okay."
Mu Shaoling naturally had no objection.
Only Dong Zijun said: "Xiao Su, don't make trouble, the boss drove here, how can you go back after drinking?"
Zhou Xiaosu said nonchalantly: "If you can't go back, just spend the night here. Mr. Mu, if you don't want to spend the night here, just like the children, you can drink juice. Orange juice, freshly squeezed, do you want it?"
Mu Shaoling glanced at the red wine in her hand. It was a batch of red wine that Dong Zijun deliberately bought at a French winery when he was on a business trip with her a few years ago and planned to use it for his collection.
"Just red wine." He chose immediately. Drinking juice with the children always felt weird.
Zhou Xiaosu nodded and motioned to the nanny to bring the wine glass, "That's right. Today is a special day. You should drink some wine to be happy. If you really can't drive later, I will call a driver for you."
Dong Zijun listened to Zhou Xiaosu's words and silently covered his forehead.
The nanny brought four red wine glasses. Zhou Xiaosu opened the wine, poured it into the glasses, and said, "It's too late to sober up, so just drink it like this. This wine tastes good even if you don't sober up."
Nianmu smiled, took the wine glass she handed over, and poured out a thank you.
Zhou Xiaosu said boldly: "Professor Nian, don't be so polite. By the way, it feels too unfamiliar to call you Professor Nian all the time. I'll call you by your name from now on, okay?"
Nian Mu had no objection, nodded and said, "Okay."
"Nian Mu sounds better." Zhou Xiaosu poured another glass of wine and handed it to Mu Shaoling, "Mr. Mu, would you like to taste it? Zijun bought this when he went on a business trip to France. I heard that you also bought a box of it.
Have you finished drinking the box?”
Dong Zijun shook his head helplessly. Before he drank the wine, Zhou Xiaosu seemed to be drunk, and he didn't distinguish between the person and the occasion when he spoke.
"Not yet." Mu Shaoling took the wine glass she handed over and shook it.
Zhou Xiaosu said: "Good wine is for drinking. You should drink it earlier. Although it will taste more mellow after being stored for a long time, it will lose that unique taste."
Dong Zijun stood up, took the work in her hands and said, "I'll do it."
When Zhou Xiaosu heard this, he didn't fight for the wine. Instead, he sat down, looked at Nian Mu with a smile, saw her taking a sip of the wine, and asked: "Nian Mu, what do you think of this wine?"
"I don't drink much, but this red wine tastes good and is more suitable for ladies." Nian Mu tasted it carefully.
"Professor Nian, you are right, this wine is more suitable for women." Dong Zijun poured a glass of wine for Zhou Xiaosu and poured another glass for himself.
Mu Shaoling's eyes fell on her and said, "I didn't expect Professor Nian to know much about wine."
"My family likes to drink." Nian Mu lowered his eyes and took a sip of red wine.
Mu Shaoling raised his eyebrows and heard Dong Zijun say: "They say Russians like to drink whiskey. Professor Nian, do you do the same?"
"It's good wine, I like them all." Nian Mu said with a smile.
Da Zhou tugged on Zhou Xiaosu's sleeves, his round eyes seemed to be saying something. Zhou Xiaosu understood instantly and took the initiative to serve Nianmu food, saying: "Mr. Mu, Nianmu, don't just focus on drinking. Come, eat food. This
This is the fish I cooked, do you want to try it?"
Nian Mu took a bite, nodded and said, "The fish is delicious, very delicious."
"As long as it tastes good to you. I heard from Zijun that your cooking skills are very good. I'm worried that you won't be used to it." Zhou Xiaosu smiled and served the two children. As for Mu Shaoling, he had no intention of entertaining.
.
Dong Zijun said from the side: "Boss, you can eat too, you're welcome."
Mu Shaoling picked up the chopsticks, picked out a piece of fish, and tasted it carefully. The fishy smell was well hidden, but the taste was just that, not particularly outstanding.
Compared to Nian Mu's cooking, it is indeed far behind.
"My cooking skills are just like that, not very good." Nian Mu said modestly, paying attention to Mu Shaoling while eating.
He only took one bite of the fish and put it aside. It seemed that it was not to his liking.
The Mu family's cook is very good at cooking. Why did he come here today? Does he have something to discuss with Dong Zijun?
But Dong Zijun is his subordinate. If there is anything to discuss, the other party should go to him...
"You are being humble." Zhou Xiaosu said. If Dong Zijun could boast behind his back, her cooking skills must be great. She suddenly thought of Ruan Bai, who was also proficient in cooking. If the other party had not lost his memory, his cooking skills would also be very good.
have to.
She also learned the technique of steaming fish from Ruan Bai, but she only learned a little bit about the sauces and sauces, but didn't get the recipe. Ruan Bai encountered that kind of thing and lost his memory.
Zhou Xiaosu felt it was a pity.
After three rounds of drinking, Zhou Xiaosu opened two more bottles of red wine. After the nanny took Big Zhou and Xiao Zhou to rest, several adults were still drinking red wine and chatting in the living room.
Among them, the one who drank the least was Mu Shaoling.
Seeing that the time was approaching eleven o'clock, Zhou Xiaosu said: "Nian Mu, why don't you go back today? It's not easy to take a taxi so late."
"I'd better not disturb you. Although it's late, it's still easy to get a taxi here." Nian Mu shook his head, not wanting to disturb them here, so he took his mobile phone and wanted to call a taxi.
Mu Shaoling watched her movements and said, "I'll drop by and take you back."
Nian Mu frowned slightly, looked at the wine glass in his hand, and reminded: "Mr. Mu, you also drank a lot. Is it bad to drive?"
"My driver is already waiting at the door." Mu Shaoling said. He had sent Uncle Zhang a WeChat message long before he knew he was going to drink. Now Uncle Zhang is waiting at the door for them to leave.
Zhou Xiaosu heard that Nian Mu was being sent away, so he stopped asking her to stay here. Although she said she didn't have a good impression of Mu Shaoling, she could trust his character.
The wine was almost gone and the dinner party broke up.
Nian Mu walked out of the living room with his bag, followed by Mu Shaoling.
Because it was a small villa, there were only two parking spaces, so Mu Shaoling's car was parked in the parking space on the roadside outside, and they wanted to go out.
Dong Zijun led the way to see them off.
Nianmu glanced sideways at the man beside her. His tall body gave people a sense of security, but at this moment, she just wanted to escape.
