After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

Lu Sijian came out of the restroom and looked up to see someone standing in the corridor.

The other person, dressed in a black suit, stood in the corner, clearly waiting for her.

[It really was him. He couldn't wait to come knocking on our door?]

Lu Sijian understood, but ignored the other person and walked past them without looking to the side.

A flash of anger crossed Zhou Guyang's eyes. "Stop!"

He deliberately avoided Shen Baolin, wanting to give her one last chance, but now it seems she was just toying with him.

Lu Sijian stopped in her tracks. "The banquet is almost over, aren't you leaving?"

"Are you with Sheng Yunchao?" Zhou Guyang asked through gritted teeth.

This is the only reason why Lu Sijian suddenly changed her mind.

He didn't believe her admiration was fake, and he was even less convinced that she wouldn't fall for him.

Lu Sijian turned around and said, "Yes, he likes me. We're a perfect match, so don't come looking for me again."

Zhou Guyang: "Aren't you afraid that Sheng Yunchao is using you to deal with Lou Xiao...?"

Lu Sijian gave a disdainful laugh. "Are you groveling before me now?"

Zhou Guyang suddenly stopped, looking at her with a sinister gaze.

"Since you're so eager to be my dog, I might as well..." Before Lu Sijian could finish speaking, the other person had already turned and left.

Lu Sijian sighed.

"Tongzi, look, I tried to seduce him, but he refused and firmly rejected me, making me look bad. Shen Baolin should be here right now, where is she? It's such a shame she didn't show up!"

system:【……】

You call this seduction? Do you think Zhou Guyang left because he was afraid he wouldn't be able to control himself and would hit a woman?

-

It was already late at night, and Song Xiuran wanted to find a friend to prepare to leave, but he couldn't find anyone for a long time.

He dialed a number, but the phone rang repeatedly without anyone answering.

This estate is far from the city, and you can't even get a taxi. If he doesn't leave soon, where will he sleep tonight?

He was getting anxious and kept dialing his friend's number until the ninth call was finally answered.

"What are you doing? Are you trying to seduce me? Don't you know what it means to know when to stop?" The person on the other end complained angrily as soon as the call connected.

"..." Song Xiuran hesitated for a moment, "Where are you? We should go."

"What? You're leaving?" The other end chuckled. "I thought you were going to stay the night. Haven't you hooked up with a sugar daddy yet? With your skills, that shouldn't be the case."

Song Xiuran said expressionlessly, "We agreed when we came that you would take me with you after you brought me here. Did you eat your own words?"

"How dare you talk like that?" someone on the other end said angrily. "I called you when I left, but you didn't respond, so we left. Whose fault is that?"

Very well. Song Xiuran clenched his fists instantly; he would remember this bastard.

"First of all, I'm sure you didn't call me; secondly, you're a jerk!" He spoke quickly, interrupting the other person several times. "I used to think you were just ugly, but I didn't expect you to be ugly inside and out. Do you think you've taken over all the ugliness in the world? You think you can sell yourself for a good price? You can't even sell yourself for free. Nobody has a fetish for ugliness."

The person on the other end was furious: "Song Xiuran!"

"Don't call me 'Dad,' you good-for-nothing!" Song Xiuran said, then hung up the phone and blocked the number in one swift motion.

That's how you argue: overwhelm the other person with your presence and don't give them a chance to utter a word.

That means the other person will be the one holding in a lot of anger tonight.

So here's the question: you've had your fill of venting, but what do you do now?

Song Xiuran turned to look at the vast night outside the manor, gritted his teeth, and decided that if all else failed, he would simply walk slowly down the mountain path.

"Sir, this is a gift from a lady." A voice sounded from the side.

Song Xiuran looked up at the waiter in front of him, his gaze falling on the room key under the wine glass, and his pupils contracted slightly.

His heart pounded, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "Which lady?"

The waiter pointed to the second floor and said with a smile, "Please have your drink first."

Song Xiuran was a little flustered. He picked up his wine and drank it all in one gulp, then asked urgently, "Tell me quickly, is it true...?"

Thinking of that person, he couldn't help but smile. He was happy because the other person wasn't entirely indifferent to him.

The waiter smiled meaningfully and handed him the room key. "Enjoy your evening. Miss Lu is waiting for you."

After saying that, he took the tray and left quickly.

Not noticing the person behind me, it was like being doused with a bucket of cold water, instantly sobering me up.

It wasn't Lian Buman? That makes sense, she didn't attend the banquet at all tonight.

Song Xiuran held the room key and hesitated for a moment.

Before that day, if someone had said that Lu Sijian was trying to seduce him, he might have had some unrealistic dreams, but after that day, he completely gave up on the idea.

Lu Sijian genuinely looked down on him; that greasy and pretentious comment was sincere.

The reason he previously cultivated a persona of being sharp-tongued and a master at spotting manipulative women in front of Lian Buman was because he was intelligent.

Is this room key really Lu Sijian's? Or rather, was it really given to him at Lu Sijian's behest?

He sensed a conspiracy, and to make matters worse, he felt increasingly hot and his head was starting to spin...

Holy crap! That drink definitely had something wrong with it!

He stumbled and fell to the side, whereupon a waiter helped him up.

The other person picked up his room key from the ground and said, "Sir, let me take you back to your room."

The guest said something, but his voice was too soft for the waiter to understand.

Today is a wine tasting event, and the air is thick with the smell of alcohol. His face is flushed and his steps are unsteady, which are typical symptoms of drunkenness.

However, if you have a room key, it's easy; you can just send it back to the room.

-

Lu Sijian drank quite a lot of alcohol that night.

Since it was a tasting event, the host prepared a wide variety of wines, all of which were fine wines that would soon be available on the market.

Two of our wines are targeted at the high-end market and have an excellent taste. It's easy to imagine that they will be snapped up by the wealthy after their release, making them highly sought after but unavailable.

Many wine lovers inevitably indulge a little and are already slightly tipsy.

Lu Sijian's cheeks were flushed, as if she was already drunk, but she sensed something was wrong the moment she took a sip of the wine.

Something has been added to it.

She smiled silently and downed the glass of wine in one gulp.

-

In the corner, a pair of sinister eyes stared intently at Lu Sijian, watching her drink all the wine and reveal a satisfied smile.

Shen Baolin looked into his eyes, and her eyelids twitched suddenly. "Brother Yang, there's something wrong with that drink, isn't there?"

Zhou Guyang: "That's not true, you're overthinking it."

Seeing her staring at him, he sighed, "I can't hide it from you, I just changed the alcohol concentration. Didn't you say she can drink a lot? I just wanted to add a little catalyst."

Shen Baolin frowned: "But..."

“Look at her, she’s perfectly fine.” Zhou Guyang gestured for her to look over. “Look at the way she walks, does she look drunk?”
