Chapter 389: Chapter 388: Something in the Red Wine

Situ Zha could see that Mianmian was curious, and to avoid her asking any questions, he preempted with a comment, "Don’t ask me why, just don’t mention it in front of my mom."

After saying that, Situ Zha opened the door to the washroom.

Gu Youyou, who had been waiting outside for a long time, puffed up her cheeks like a little puffer fish, and angrily questioned, "Why did you lock Mianmian in there? Situ Zha, you’re a big bully!"

Hearing Gu Youyou scold him, Situ Zha shrugged his shoulders, "Your Mianmian wanted to talk to me, that’s why she went into the bathroom. She’s not someone I can lock up."

Gu Youyou was utterly confused, "Huh? But it was clearly you who pulled Mianmian in there!"

As she spoke, she reached out and pulled Mianmian out of the washroom, looking her up and down very seriously.

Only after confirming there were no wounds on Mianmian did the little one heave a big sigh of relief, and said very earnestly, "Situ Zha is lying, right? Mianmian, you wouldn’t deliberately leave me behind, right?"

Every word was tinged with hurt.

Mianmian felt especially embarrassed.

When Situ Zha was pulling her, she indeed hadn’t dodged. Knowing that Situ Zha had something to say, she also hadn’t come out in time.

"Sorry, Youyou," Mianmian apologized sincerely, "Situ Zha had something to say to me, that’s why I was with him in the washroom."

Upon hearing these words, Gu Youyou stood frozen as if struck by lightning.

After a while, her eyes reddened as she stuttered, "Mianmian, do you have a secret with Situ Zha? Mom said that people whisper when they have secrets."

Seeing that Gu Youyou was about to cry, Mianmian’s guilt grew deeper.

But she couldn’t deny that there were some things that Gu Youyou couldn’t know about.

What should she do?

Mianmian nervously held onto her good friend’s hand, soothing her with a gentle voice, "Don’t cry, Youyou. I’m apologizing to you, please don’t be mad."

Gu Youyou looked at Mianmian through teary eyes.

As she looked, her gaze shifted to Situ Zha.

She was still too young to understand why Mianmian would have a secret with Situ Zha, a secret she couldn’t know about, that they had to discuss in hiding.

Gu Youyou then thought of something her mother had said.

Her mother had once told her that Mianmian was a different kind of child, for example, despite being young, she had many older nieces and nephews. For instance, they had seen on the live-stream how Mianmian was very strong and could catch a lot of fish.

These were things she couldn’t do.

So was Mianmian whispering with Situ Zha because of something she couldn’t do?

Gu Youyou’s little heart was filled with sorrow.

"Youyou, I really am sorry." Mianmian continued to apologize, very sincerely.

Gu Youyou pouted, then suddenly hugged Mianmian, "It’s okay, it’s okay. I’m just a little sad. But it’s fine, Mom said that you are my best friend, but I can’t force you to consider me your best friend too. I just have to do what I should do. Next time, can you let me know before you talk to Situ Zha?"

"Yes, I will." Mianmian promised, raising her pinkie, "I’ll let you know, let’s make a pinkie promise."

The two little pinkies linked together, sealing the promise that they would inform each other before talking to someone else.

With their thumbs pressing together to seal the deal, Gu Youyou joyfully led Mianmian into her room.

Seeing that Situ Zha was following behind, the little one lifted her chin, "You can’t come in, it’s time for me and Mianmian to have our secret talk."

"Whatever." Situ Zha decisively turned away, "Who cares about your whispers?"

He sighed coolly and put his hands behind his head as he went downstairs to sit beside his own mother.

Situ Jing and Liu Hui were chatting, both career-driven and finding a lot of common topics to talk about.

Seeing Situ Zha come downstairs, Liu Hui was surprised, "What’s the matter? Zha Zha, why did you come down alone?"

Situ Zha said, "I had a whisper with Mianmian, and Gu Youyou said now it’s her whisper time with Mianmian."

Liu Hui felt really embarrassed, her own daughter had neglected another guest, it wasn’t a very polite thing to do.

She apologized to Situ Zha and invited him to snack on some treats.

Situ Zha didn’t stand on ceremony, he savored the dried fruits he popped in his mouth.

Upstairs, Mianmian was listening to Gu Youyou introduce her family. Gu Youyou had a family album in her hands and was explaining it to Mianmian in detail.

Mianmian listened silently, very attentively.

By this time, the sun was almost setting.

At the Lanyu Restaurant, Su Chenyan and Liao Ran were sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows on the top floor. Red wine and fine dining under the warm orange twilight created an aesthetically pleasing scene.

Su Chenyan’s face was flushed continuously, and he hadn’t spoken for a long time.

Liao Ran didn’t know what to say either; she was more anxious about not finding the right opportunity to use her prop. The prop was very simple, a small pill. The instructions said that it would dissolve immediately in water and would make the person who swallowed the pill inclined to comply with whatever the first person they saw upon opening their eyes said.

But slipping the pill required timing, and Su Chenyan was constantly watching her; she had no chance to place the pill into the food.

Su Chenyan didn’t know what the woman sitting across from him was thinking. Scratching his head, he brought up a topic he had racked his brain for, "Teacher Liao, how’s your skateboarding coming along?"

"Ah?" Liao Ran looked at Su Chenyan in astonishment and took a while to find her voice again, "Well, it’s okay. I can skate on one foot for a while before jumping on."

Actually, she hadn’t practiced at all.

"That’s great progress, I’ll teach you more next time." Su Chenyan, pleased with finding a good topic, picked up a snail with the serving chopstick for Liao Ran, "Try this, everyone says it’s delicious."

Liao Ran was actually terrified of snails, even if they were edible. She didn’t want to try them at all.

But since her true love offered it, she smiled and took a bite, "Hmm, it’s indeed delicious."

While forcing down her disgust.

Su Chenyan didn’t notice Liao Ran’s discomfort; he too took a bite of his dish and suddenly felt the urge to go to the toilet. He informed Liao Ran that he would step away for a while.

Liao Ran saw her opportunity had come, and while Su Chenyan was away, she dropped the pill into his glass of red wine.

She just had to propose a toast when Su Chenyan came back, and hopefully, he would drink the wine. Then it would be a success, wouldn’t it?

Liao Ran was overjoyed.

The Rose and Phoenix Fairy glanced at each other in mid-air and quickly ran to the men’s toilet to find Su Chenyan.

While Su Chenyan was finishing up in the toilet and washing his hands at the basin, Rose controlled her movement to write on the mirror.

"Su Chenyan, I’m Rose. Don’t drink the red wine when you get back, there’s something in it."

There was initially just that sentence, but Rose, afraid Su Chenyan would not heed her advice, added, "Little Auntie asked me to tell you."

The line of words was very clear.

Su Chenyan stood in front of the mirror, completely bewildered.

Something in the wine? What could it be?
