Chapter 686: 693 The young prince’s heart disease_1

Qi Zhenzhen’s conversation took a turn. "Miss Lin, did Su Yueze say I drank too much again yesterday?"

Lin Xiangwan gave a troubled smile, uncertain how to respond. "Um... well..."

Keen for the answer, Qi Zhenzhen wouldn’t allow another dodge. "It’s okay, just tell the truth!"

"Sure..." Xiangwan nodded reluctantly.

"You sure can hold your liquor. I’ve never met a match like you!" Qi Zhenzhen laughed bafflingly.

"I’ve been feeling pretty good these days, otherwise I couldn’t drink that much!" Lin Xiangwan excused herself, downplaying and not wanting to show off her ability.

After all, being able to drink isn’t exactly something to brag about.

"Oh..." Qi Zhenzhen nodded, enlightened. "Be honest, did you take any hangover remedies? That’s why you can drink without getting drunk."

Xiangwan was at a loss on how to answer this question.

If she said no, would it be offensive to Miss Qi?

And if she said yes, would it result in Qi’s disdain or loss of contact?

Caught in a dilemma, she looked at Su Yueze, who exhaled a puff of smoke. "Miss Qi, you’ve considered it quite thoroughly. However, Wanwan is a straightforward person, so of course she wouldn’t cheat!"

"I see..." Qi Zhenzhen felt somewhat defeated.

A sudden idea came to Lin Xiangwan. "Hehe, if Miss Qi doesn’t believe me, we can spend more time together, letting you supervise me. You’ll see if I’ve done anything sneaky before drinking!"

Qi Zhenzhen’s eyes sparkled. "Are you suggesting we drink again?"

"Yes!" Xiangwan nodded.

"That’s a great idea! Fine, let’s stay together for now and have a drink in two hours!"

"Ahem..." Lin Xiangwan coughed softly, feeling a bit pressured. She just had an IV drip earlier, and she wasn’t supposed to drink alcohol, was she?

"Two hours of preparation time is too short. Let’s make it three hours. We should eat something first and fill our stomachs. I’m starving!" Su Yueze didn’t know that Xiangwan was sick.

He only considered that Xiangwan had no chance to build up trust with Qi when they only met for drinks. They needed more opportunities.

"Okay!" Qi Zhenzhen raised an eyebrow and nodded in agreement.

Lin Xiangwan quietly heaved a sigh of relief. Three hours should be enough, right?

"So, what are we going to do for these three hours, just eat? How much will we have to eat?" Qi Zhenzhen inquired.

Su Yueze responded confidently, "Just nod and agree. Let me handle the rest!"

"Ok!" Qi Zhenzhen trusted him. He knew how to make leisure time entertaining.

Su Yueze grabbed the menu and started ordering, choosing dishes both ladies enjoyed. He ordered a plate of scrambled eggs and rice the last.

"Isn’t this plenty food already? Why are you ordering scrambled eggs and rice?" Qi Zhenzhen glanced.

Su Yueze didn’t answer Qi Zhenzhen’s question. Instead, he reminded the server, "Bring me the scrambled egg with rice first, ASAP!"

"Yes!" The server agreed respectfully and left.

Afterward, Su Yueze explained, "I couldn’t. I had too much to drink last night. You called while I was still sleeping, I haven’t eaten anything!"

Qi Zhenzhen exclaimed surprisedly, "You also drank last night? I don’t remember seeing you having a drink?"

"Not the drinking with you, it was after that with someone else!"

"Oh..."

Su Yueze continued self-mockingly. "Who would dare to drink with you two? A grown man can’t drink a woman. It’s embarrassing if word gets out!"

"Hehe..." Qi Zhenzhen laughed, amused. "What pressure? Your tolerance can also improve with more practice!"

"Please spare me. If I drink more, I’ll lose my life!" Su Yueze sounded genuinely afraid.

Their tolerance was a gift that not everyone could endure.

While those two were talking, Lin Xiangwan pointed outside. "I’ll go to the restroom first!"

After she left, Qi Zhenzhen couldn’t help but ask, "Why does she agree to keep drinking with me? Is she not afraid of losing her life?"

"..." Su Yueze looked at her, contemplating before deciding to speak. "Yes, she is desperate since she needs something from you. She’s figurately willing to lose her life to keep drinking with you!"

"Ha ha..." Qi Zhenzhen giggled, visibly disappointed. "No wonder but it’s such a disappointment. I thought I met a kindred spirit that enjoys the game and dares play. Turns out she needs a favor from me!"

Su Yueze smiled. "Would you be unhappy about this?"

Qi Zhenzhen fixed her gaze on him. "So why do you accompany me? Because you need something from me as well?"

"If I said that’s the case, would you be happy?" Su Yueze counter-questioned.

Qi Zhenzhen’s eyes darkened significantly but she looked accepting. "This is the greatest sorrow of my life, seemingly never capable of making pure friends!"

"Does this upset you?" He counter-queried.

"Yes, since I was a child, the children who approached me were all posted by their parents. They let me have my way, slowly befriended me. Later, I found out they didn’t enjoy my company. So, I distanced myself from them. The situation was slightly better abroad, but I still needed to sift and discern the people who were with me..."

"Sounds miserable indeed. However, every coin has two sides. You are a lot luckier than most girls!" Su Yueze pointed out.

"That’s true!"

"Mm... So, if given another chance to choose, would you still want to be a high-ranking official’s daughter?"

Qi Zhenzhen laughed at his jest. "Of course!"

"Exactly. So, you have to bear the associated pressure. There’s really nothing to be said about that." Su Yueze shrugged. "At the same time, I can assure you that the ones who approach you might be driven by motives but they’re not necessarily faking their fondness for you. Take me, for example, I like your straightforwardness and would like to befriend you not only because it brings me advantages!"

"Oh..." This explanation made Qi Zhenzhen feel much relieved. So, there’s another side to this.

She glanced toward the direction of the restroom. "Where’s Miss Lin? She’s been gone for quite a while. Is she taking medication in the restroom?"

"Ha ha..." Su Yueze laughed aloud. "You still don’t trust her, do you? Why don’t you go see if she’s taking anything behind your back?"

"Of course, I must go check!" Qi Zhenzhen stood and left.
