After my whole family overheard my thoughts, they went berserk.

Inside the elegant building, Qiu Tang had been waiting for a long time.

She was delighted to see Ling Feng arrive at the appointment and stood up to greet him, saying, "Tang'er greets the Second Prince."

"No need for formalities." Shi Lingfeng straightened his back and sat down opposite Qiu Tang.

In truth, he felt a vague unease.

His eyes were always looking out the window.

I wonder if my sister has caught up?

"Second Prince, may you sit down here?" Qiu Tang asked Shi Lingfeng with a slightly shy expression.

If it were in the past, he really wouldn't have been able to refuse her delicate and charming appearance.

But now, he's afraid that if he gets too close to her, she might harm him if he's not careful.

"No." Shi Lingfeng blurted out.

Qiu Tang smiled calmly, stood up, and sat down next to Shi Lingfeng: "The Second Prince should not mind, Qiu Tang will sit next to you."

She poured a glass of wine and handed it to Shi Lingfeng: "Second Prince, before we discuss this, would you like to have a drink with Tang'er?"

Seeing that Shi Lingfeng hesitated to take the wine glass, Qiu Tang said sadly, "We used to be like this. When we got tired of discussing academics, we would have a drink together."

Unable to refuse such hospitality, Shi Lingfeng accepted the wine glass.

Qiu Tang blushed and drank the wine in her cup in one gulp.

"Second Prince, aren't you going to drink?" Her eyes, full of flirtatious allure, were fixed on Shi Lingfeng.

Shi Lingfeng smelled the wine glass; it had a faint medicinal scent mixed in.

Because of his long-term dedication to medical research, he is still very sensitive to the smell of medicines.

"Drink!" Shi Lingfeng drank it all in one gulp. Anyway, his sister had given him the pills beforehand, so he wasn't afraid!

He must have drunk too much; the alcohol was irritating his throat, and he coughed instinctively.

Seeing this, Qiu Tang immediately patted his back gently: "Second Prince, what's wrong?"

Shi Lingfeng looked at Qiu Tang with a dreamy gaze, as if he had returned to the time when they first met, and Qiu Tang was still as gentle and beautiful as before.

"Miss Qiutang, you are so beautiful!" Shi Lingfeng's mind was no longer under his control.

He shook his head frantically, a sense of foreboding creeping into his heart.

His sister tricked him!

The elixir was completely useless.

"Really?" Qiu Tang smiled shyly, her eyes changing.

She knew that Shi Lingfeng's medication had taken effect.

"Second Prince, you're drunk. Let Tang'er help you to the couch to rest." Qiu Tang got up and helped Shi Lingfeng up.

Shi Lingfeng's legs and arms went weak, and he had no ability to resist, but he could still keep a little bit of his mind clear.

Qiu Tang helped him to the couch and reached out to take off his outer garment, but Shi Lingfeng grabbed her hand.

"Second Prince, you're hurting Tang'er." He was very strong, and it really hurt when he pinched her.

Qiu Tang forcefully pulled her hands away, trying to take off Shi Lingfeng's clothes.

Just as he was about to untie it, Shi Lingfeng rolled over and lay face down on the couch.

She struggled to turn him over, but he remained crouched.

Despite her efforts, Qiu Tang was still unable to remove his coat, and a hint of impatience was already showing in her eyes.

"Second Prince, lie down and rest well," Qiu Tang said softly.

Shi Lingfeng turned over and lay back down in bed.

Seeing that the time was right, Qiu Tang reached out to undo his outer garment, but Shi Lingfeng flipped over and kicked her in the stomach, sending her rolling off the bed.

Qiu Tang fell heavily to the ground, her eyes filled with rage.

Shi Lingfeng narrowed his eyes as he looked at Qiu Tang on the ground, clutching her stomach. Her face was furious, and her eyes were fierce, making her completely different from her usual self.

He rubbed his temples, got up from the couch, and looked at Qiu Tang: "Miss Qiu Tang, what's wrong? Why are you sitting on the floor?"

Qiu Tang was filled with rage.

You kicked it yourself, don't you know that?

"Second Prince, how come you woke up so quickly?" Qiu Tang asked in surprise.

The effects of that medicine should last for at least two hours; how could she have woken up so quickly?

Moreover, she witnessed the effects of the drug kicking in after he drank the alcohol.

Could it be that the medicine the Second Prince gave her had expired?

"What, Miss Tang'er, don't you want me to wake up so soon?" Shi Lingfeng asked back.

Qiu Tang regained her composure and smiled gently: "Of course not."

"That's good!" Shi Lingfeng stood up quickly, noticing the disappointment in Qiu Tang's eyes: "In that case, I'll go back."

Qiu Tang must have done something wrong; the medicine's effects were short-lived, and he left in such a hurry.

"Second Prince." Qiu Tang hurried to catch up with him, asking softly, "Aren't you going to discuss medical techniques with Tang'er?"

Shi Lingfeng waved his hand: "No, I still have things to do. Let's talk another day."

If we don't run faster, who knows what tricks they'll pull next.

"Miss Tang'er, please don't see me off. There are too many people here, and it might ruin your reputation!" Shi Lingfeng said, closing the door behind him after he left.

When they reached the door of the neighbor's house, Shi Youzhi pulled him inside.

"That was close! I almost lost my virginity!" Shi Lingfeng breathed a sigh of relief, looking just like a coward.

Shi Miaomiao disliked him a lot.

"Even in this situation, Qiu Tang still has to go to great lengths to deceive people. Sigh, it's really tough on her."

"Sister, your medicine isn't working! After just one cup of wine, it took effect very quickly, and she almost succeeded!"

"You're just an ordinary person. The effects of the pill will be delayed. It's your own fault for being so stupid. They forced you to drink alcohol, and you downed it in one gulp."

Shi Lingfeng looked at Shi Miaomiao and sensed something was wrong.

It's as if they witnessed what just happened.

"Shh!" Shi Youzhi gestured for him to shut up and looked through the crack in the wall at the next room.

Shi Lingfeng turned around and looked through the crack in the wall; his face darkened.

They saw everything clearly just now!

"How could it be Chen Feng?" He looked at the man in disbelief.

He never expected that the person who arranged for Qiu Tang to get close to him was actually his own younger brother!

"Third Prince," Qiu Tang said, her face full of frustration, "Tang'er has disappointed the Third Prince. For some reason, the Second Prince didn't..."

At this moment, Qiu Tang hated herself for failing to complete the mission, but deep down, she felt a sense of relief.

"As expected, they came to frame me!" Shi Lingfeng felt both angry and terrified.

In the future, I'm afraid he'll have a phobia of the girl.

Shi Chenfeng saw Qiu Tang's tears, stroked her head, and hugged her: "Tang'er, don't cry, I don't blame you."

Shi Chenfeng's gentleness filled Qiu Tang with a deep sense of guilt. She had disappointed the Third Prince and was afraid that he would stop loving her in the future.

"Third Prince, it's Tang'er's fault for being useless. Please scold Tang'er." Qiu Tang cried, her face streaked with tears.

Shi Chenfeng smiled slightly and wiped away her tears: "Don't cry, we have other paths to choose from."

Qiu Tang was completely captivated by his gentleness. She was willing to die for him, to receive his tenderness and understanding.

"Third Prince, it is my good fortune to have met you. Whenever I think of that Lantern Festival when I was knocked down in the mud, it was you who reached out and helped me up, I feel very lucky."

Shi Lingfeng was slightly taken aback, and a scene suddenly flashed through his mind.
