âFine, then I guess Iâll let you have one drink. Donât be greedy!â Xu Zhengyang agreed reluctantly.
Xu Jiaojiao nodded happily.
âOkay! Bottoms up!â
Qi Shenbai looked at this scene helplessly.
Soon, the dishes were served. Xu Zhengyang and Qi Shenbai did not drink, leaving only Su Luo and Xu Jiaojiao drinking.
âThis wine is sweet and delicious!â Xu Jiaojiao took a sip and smiled drunklenly.
Soon after, Xu Jiaojiao finished the wine in her glass in one gulp.
She was nowhere near satisfied, so Xu Jiaojiao looked at Xu Zhengyang pitifully. âBrother, can Iâ¦â
âStop!â Xu Zhengyang could not stand Xu Jiaojiaoâs puppy-dog pleas, so he said, âJust one more, and no more than that!â
âHehe, alright!â Xu Jiaojiao quickly refilled her glass.
Qi Shenbai looked at Xu Jiaojiao, who had succeeded in her scheme, and wondered if Xu Zhengyang had any backbone to speak of.
Xu Zhengyang seemed to have sensed Qi Shenbaiâs thoughts. He gave him a look and said, âJust a little bit is fine!*
Qi Shenbai did not say anything. Instead, he rolled his eyes at him.
During their conversation, Xu Jiaojiaoâs cheeks were a little red. The glass in front of her was empty, and she had finished her second glass.
âThatâs some good wine! Iâm satisfied now, burp~â Xu Jiaojiao burped.
âJiaojiao, are you a little drunkard? Donât tell me youâre already drunk?â Xu Zhengyang smiled faintly.
Seeing Xu Jiaojiaoâs flushed face, Su Luo could not help but laugh. âIt looks like she is.â
Xu Jiaojiao just chuckled and didnât say anything. However, she could feel that her head was a little dizzy and hot, so she said, âI have to go to the washroom first.â
Seeing that Xu Jiaojiao stood up and was about to leave, Su Luo stood up and held her hand. âEh? Jiaojiao, do you want me to go with you?â
Xu Jiaojiao waved her hand. âItâs alright, I can go alone.â
Seeing this, Su Luo did not insist. The three of them watched as Xu Jiaojiao left. Because this was a shopping mall, there were a lot of people, so there was no need to worry too much.
However, only a minute had passed before Qi Shenbai started to check his watch. When he saw that Xu Jiaojiao had yet to return, he stood up and went to the washroom to look for her.
As she watched Qi Shenbai leave, Su Luo revealed a meaningful smile. âLook, someoneâs getting impatient! I knew something was up with him!â
Su Luo watched as Qi Shenbaiâs figure disappeared into the corner. In the next second, she felt a pain over her head. She turned around to see Xu Zhengyang retracting his hand, looking at her with a faint smile.
Su Luo rubbed her head and complained, âWhat was that for?! Why did you hit me for no reason? It hurts, owwâ¦â
Xu Zhengyang sat in his seat and leaned back leisurely. âThink. Why did you deserve that headshot?â
Su Luoâs expression froze and she felt a little guilty.
Of course, she knew what Xu Zhengyang was implying.
After that escape room venture and the way she was encouraging Xu Jiaojiao to drink, it was obvious what her intentions were.
However, their plan could not be exposed yet. Su Luo frowned for a long time before she finally said, âI didnât deserve anything! Come on, didnât everyone have a good time along the way?â
âAre you still trying to lie to me? Youâre doing this to matchmake Qi Shenbai and Jiaojiao, right?â Xu Zhengyang said.
Su Luo pursed her lips as she recalled Xu Zhengyangâs actions along the way. He kept interrupting Xu Jiaojiao and Qi Shenbai. So he already knew! n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âFine! So youâve always known. Thatâs why you kept interrupting Jiaojiao and Qi Shenbai along the way. Donât think 1 canât tell! Hurry up and tell me what youâre up to!â
Xu Zhengyang turned his head away and chose to close his eyes without saying a word. In a way, he was silently admitting to Su Luoâs accusations.
Seeing Xu Zhengyangâs unafraid expression, Su Luo became a little anxious and said, âDonât keep quiet. Why do you keep interfering with Jiaojiao and Qi Shenbai? Donât you want them to be together?â
Most people would think Qi Shenbai was a successful man. He had countless wealth. Just his looks alone could make countless women go crazy for him.
Su Luo thought that Qi Shenbai was already outstanding enough, so why didnât Xu Zhengyang approve?
âAre you trying to say that Qi Shenbai has the money, power, and looks, so no one can refuse him?â Xu Zhengyang suddenly said.
Just as Su Luo was about to say something, Xu Zhengyang interrupted her and continued, âThen tell me, if you think that Qi Shenbai is so outstanding, how much do you know about his family background?â
