Nan Chen looked at Ning Ran’s expression. It changed from shock, to panic, and finally, fear.
What’s this woman thinking about? What is she planning?
“There is actually no bad blood between us. You are the uncle of my kids. We can be considered relatives.” Ning Ran tried to convince Nan Chen she calmed herself down.
Nan Chen did not respond. He did not know why Ning Ran was saying all that.
“So, you won’t do anything bad to me right?”
“Do anything bad to you?” Nan Chen was even more puzzled.
Then, he pointed to the cup again. “Let’s drink.”
“I’m not going to!” Ning Ran was determined.
You think I’m stupid? You poisoned the wine and want to kill me with that?
Nan Chen lifted his own cup and finished the drink in one gulp.
Ning Ran saw that and thought, if he finished it, maybe it is not poisoned after all.
A sudden realization hit Ning Ran.
He is trying to get me drunk so that I will speak the truth! It has to be that! Poker Face, you are not going to have your way!
“You should drink more.” Ning Ran poured some sake in Nan Chen’s cup.
Nan Chen was momentarily stunned, but he continued to finish the drink.
Ning Ran continued pouring more, and Nan Chen continued to drink.
Not after long, Nan Chen almost finished half a bottle of sake. Ning Ran had transformed into a sommelier. She was responsible for alcohol service, while Nan Chen was responsible for finishing it.
Sake had a rather high alcohol percentage level. Nan Chen started to feel the effects of the alcohol.
His face was flushed because of the alcohol. Together with his fair complexion, it was as though his aura was softened and he no longer felt as distant.
Also, more handsome.
Ning Ran was trying to think. It would not be easy to get him drunk. Besides, he was so intelligent. It wouldn’t be difficult for him to realize what Ning Ran was trying to do.
What should she do?
In fact, Nan Chen was already aware that Ning Ran’s was trying to get him drunk. But it did not matter to him.
He was too troubled over the button today, and felt like drinking.
“You won’t be able to get me drunk. The reason why I don’t usually drink is because I don’t need to entertain.” Nan Chen told Ning Ran directly.
Ning Ran gave an awkward laughter. “What are you saying? Why would I want to get you drunk? Am I after your money or your beauty…”
“What?”
Ning Ran stopped talking after realizing she had said too much.
She really could not hold liquor well. She did not even drink much but already started babbling nonsense.
She had decided not to drink with that Poker Face anymore. They were not even on the same level.
“I mean, I won’t benefit from getting you drunk. I would have to take care of you, and besides, I don’t even have the strength to carry you. It’s late, shall we go?” Ning Ran was ready to leave.
Nan Chen looked at his watch. “Let’s stay a while more. You haven’t answered my question about the button.”
“What’s there to say about the button? It’s just your button. I have to say that it is a very beautiful button though. Is that enough?” Ning Ran tried to avoid the question.
“This is the button you gave me.”
Nan Chen picked up the button and took a closer look at it.
Ning Ran’s heart was beating faster. What on earth had she done? Why did she give this button to Poker Face?
“I don’t think so. Did you remember it wrongly?” Ning Ran pretended not to know anything about it.
“No, I didn’t. You were drunk last night, not me.”
“Oh really? I was drunk?” Ning Ran tried to be cheeky.
“You were, and you were very drunk. We parked in the middle of the expressway for you to throw up. You still have not sobered up when we got back to Flower City. Although you were drunk, you were in high spirits. You kept asking for noodles and more alcohol, until you fell asleep at the table.”
Ning Ran covered her face as she listened. That was so embarrassing.
“That’s not possible. That’s not like me.” Ning Ran tried to look calm.
“I have evidence. I took a video of you last night.” Nan Chen said coldly.
“What?! You took a video when I was drunk? Do you have nothing better to do?!” Ning Ran yelled.
