In Nanfeng City at night, the lights are brightly lit, and the cool breeze carries a boiling and noisy atmosphere.
"You did a good job today and made me breathe a sigh of relief. Come on, have a drink!"
In a restaurant facing the street, Yan Lingqing held a wine glass in her small hand. Her usually cold cheeks showed an extremely rare boldness and wildness in front of the strong drink.
Li Luo was also a little confused by her changes. He could only weakly pick up the wine glass and clink it with her. Then he was shocked to see Yan Lingqing drink the wine glass that almost covered half of her face in one gulp.
clean.
This way of drinking is really in great contrast with Yan Lingqing's intellectual and cool temperament wearing silver-rimmed glasses.
At least now in this restaurant, many eyes are secretly casting in astonishment. After all, Yan Lingqing's appearance is quite high.
"Didn't Sister Lingqing say that in the end, she is still helping me, the young palace master, make money?" Li Luo said with a smile.
"That's the truth, but that guy Zhuang Yi, because of his seniority, has frustrated me several times, and I have long been unhappy with him." Yan Lingqing curled her rosy mouth.
Immediately she looked at Li Luo and said, "But you really impressed me today. I originally thought that you, the young palace master, were just a mascot."
Li Luo was a little embarrassed. Is it really okay for you to chat so honestly?
Yan Lingqing filled up the wine again and said, "But to be honest, even so, there is still a big gap between you and Qing'e."
"This is a matter of course." Li Luo frankly admitted that Jiang Qing'e was so good that even the Shengxuanxing Academy lowered its stature and made special moves on her. With such an honor, even the prince of the Great Xia royal family would not be afraid of it.
Neither can enjoy it.
"But I will try my best." Li Luo stared at the wine glass, smiled and said.
Yan Lingqing said playfully: "Oh? It sounds like you really have thoughts about Qing'e?"
"Sister Qing'e's excellence, I don't need to say more. If I say I don't have any thoughts about her, I'm afraid even you will say I'm hypocritical." Li Luo said seriously.
He and Jiang Qing'e had been childhood sweethearts for so many years, and the relationship between the two was already somewhat complicated. Coupled with the engagement, so in Li Luo's view, the two had a very deep bond.
With this feeling, Li Luo believed that not only him, but even someone with Jiang Qing'e's personality would not be able to treat him as an ordinary person. This was something Li Luo could still detect in their usual interactions.
"Quite honest."
Yan Lingqing drank another glass of strong wine in one gulp, nodded, and then said with a meaningful smile: "But if you really have this intention, you have a long way to go. Now you are only here in Nanfeng City. Waiting
Only when you go to Shengxuanxing Academy one day will you know how terrifying your competitors really are."
Li Luo picked up the wine glass and took a sip. Then he thought about it and said, "But... I am Jiang Qing'e's fiancé."
He paused and said with a smile: "And if they really want to do anything to me, Sister Qing'e will also protect me. I think at that time, they may be the ones who suffer."
Yan Lingqing's beautiful eyes widened a little. She stared at Li Luo and said, "Aren't you hiding behind women?"
Li Luo said plausibly: "My fiancée protects her fiancé, what's wrong with that?"
Yan Lingqing was speechless, and then couldn't help but said: "This... is too bad."
Then she couldn't help but laugh out loud, because with Jiang Qing'e's character, it was really possible for her to do this, and it would be a double blow to those people physically and mentally.
Li Luo smiled and filled her up with wine, and the two kept drinking back and forth. In the end, when Li Luo's head started to feel dizzy, he finally found Yan Lingqing lying on the table.
Li Luo breathed a sigh of relief and shook Yan Lingqing. He found that she had no reaction and was speechless.
Finally, Li Luo stepped forward and bent down, put one hand around Yan Lingqing's slender waist, put one hand behind her knees, and then hugged her up.
As Li Luo walked out of the restaurant with Yan Lingqing in his arms, some envious eyes were cast around him.
However, Li Luo didn't have such dirty thoughts as they did. After leaving the restaurant, he called over the waiting chariot, and a maid got out of it.
This was prepared by Yan Lingqing when she arrived. It seemed that she had already known that once she drank, she would definitely get drunk.
Li Luo carefully carried Yan Lingqing into the carriage, and then told the maid: "Send Vice President Yan home."
The maid responded respectfully and finally drove away.
On the street, Li Luo stretched himself as he watched the carriage disappear into the bright lights. He remembered his previous conversation with Yan Lingqing and smiled softly at the end.
"You still have to work hard..."
Although he doesn't mind letting Jiang Qing'e protect him, at any rate, he can't let Jiang Qing'e lose face, right?
But when Li Luo turned around and left, Yan Lingqing, who was supposed to be drunk in the car, suddenly opened her eyes.
She lay lazily and smiled to herself: "It's not bad, you didn't even take advantage of me."
"Let's talk to Qing'e later. Although her little fiancé is not very strong, I still approve of her as a sister."
...
The next day, when Li Luo got up, he still felt a dull pain in his head, which made him feel helpless. It seemed that he would refuse to drink with Yan Lingqing in the future.
After washing up briefly, Li Luo came to the front hall and saw the charming and flower-like Sister Cai Wei waiting for him to have breakfast.
Li Luo smiled apologetically.
"Did you drink with Yan Lingqing last night?" Cai Wei served him a bowl of white porridge and said with a sweet smile.
Li Luo nodded and said, "I didn't expect Sister Lingqing to be a bit bold when she drinks."
Cai Wei said with some annoyance: "It's true, Lingqing, you are just a child, and he actually takes you to drink."
When Li Luo heard this, he was immediately dissatisfied and retorted: "Sister Cai Wei, don't try to take advantage of me. Why don't you just be bigger than me? You'll end up like my mother."
Cai Wei rolled her eyes at him and praised: "I know everything you did at Xiyang House yesterday. You did a good job, and you can actually start to help."
"During this period, I have been selling off some of the useless chambers of commerce and properties of the Luolan Mansion in Tianshu County. Some of them I even sold to the Tifa family and the Bei family at low prices... Haha, I heard that the Song family
I even talked to the two families about this, but it didn't seem to be of any use. Although it wouldn't break them up, it was enough to make it difficult for them to reach a complete consensus on how to deal with the Luo Lan Mansion."
"After selling off these burdens, our funds are somewhat abundant. The fifth-grade spiritual water and strange light you need should be purchased one after another recently."
Li Luo was overjoyed: "Sister Cai Wei is really capable, unlike Sister Lingqing, who likes to drink even though she can't drink enough."
Cai Wei blinked her thick brush-like eyelashes and said, "Can't you drink enough?"
Li Luo nodded and said: "She was very drunk last night, and I had someone send her back."
A playful smile appeared on Cai Wei's red lips: "My silly young palace master, Yan Lingqing has the capacity to drink ten of you, and she won't even turn red on her face."
Li Luo was stunned.
Cai Wei looked him up and down and said, "You didn't take the opportunity to have any bad thoughts towards her, right? Otherwise, she would never have a kind word for you in front of Qing'e all her life."
Li Luo quickly thought about it, and it seemed that he had not done anything extraordinary, so he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
But obviously, he was tricked by Yan Lingqing.
So he put down the bowl with some embarrassment and said, "I'm going to school."
He turned around and ran away, Cai Wei's melodious laughter kept coming from behind, which made Li Luo very sad and angry. The sisters' tricks were too deep, and I was really still a child.
