Not Drunk

Lu Xingzhi held Jiang Yao's hand for the rest of the wedding, not wanting to let go at all. Her being by his side was bound to raise questions. Lu Xingzhi, as always, gave a short and concise answer.

"She is my wife."

A simple yet clear statement. He did not, however, introduce her. Nobody asked further questions either, understanding that he was trying to protect her by not divulging any unnecessary information.

From time to time, somebody would come up and give the couple a toast. Lu Xingzhi passed a glass of fruit wine to Jiang Yao, reminding her to only take a small sip after the toast.

"Okay." She held the glass close to her nose and sniffed it. She then took a quick sip, tasting the full flavor of the beverage. 'Isn't this just a glass of fruit juice?' Jiang Yao thought, 'Why did he insist that I only take a tiny sip of it?'
