He raised his glass and offered it, smiling, "I’m quite interested in some of your insights. Would you like to have a drink? Later, you and I can find a quiet place and have a good chat."
Shen Tang felt a bit flattered and was about to agree when a long, broad hand suddenly reached out to take the glass.
A tall figure stood in front of her, speaking with a gentle and courteous tone, "Thank you for your kind offer, King of Abyss Night, but the Female Master is tired tonight. I will take her back to rest first. We can arrange another time."
The smile on the King of Abyss Night’s face suddenly became stiff.
The young man was tall, upright like a pine tree, even half a head taller than him.
Lu Xiao’s tone was gentle, his words impeccable, yet for some reason, he exuded a sense of pressure.
The King of Abyss Night’s expression shifted slightly as he stepped back half a pace, laughing awkwardly, "Haha, very well, we’ll meet next time."
He glanced regretfully at Shen Tang, "Beautiful woman, I look forward to seeing you again. I’ve never exchanged privately with an outsider’s female before~"
After speaking, he turned and left.
Lu Xiao’s eyes momentarily chilled but quickly returned to normal.
Shen Tang felt a bit puzzled but didn’t take it to heart.
She lowered her head to look at the glass of wine in Lu Xiao’s hand, it smelled quite fragrant, with a sweet fruity aroma.
She swallowed and, drinking a mouthful with his hand, felt a bit tipsy.
Lu Xiao promptly stopped her, finished the remaining half glass wine in one go, and whispered, "This is special mix wine, very strong, be careful not to get drunk."
Shen Tang jolted awake, she had thought it was sweet fruit wine, not expecting its strength was so great!
Recalling how the King of Abyss Night had actively invited her for a drink and left with those meaningful words, she couldn’t help rubbing her arms, feeling a chill.
"Whoa, didn’t expect the King of Abyss Night to look young and handsome, yet be a rogue!" she said angrily.
"Young?" Lu Xiao raised his eyebrow at her, his tone distant, "His eldest son is about your age."
"What?" Shen Tang was stunned and blinked in confusion, "He looks rather young to me, should be around the same age as you."
Lu Xiao’s temple twitched slightly, a bit helpless, "The King of Abyss Night isn’t young; he is already forty."
"Oh my, I really didn’t expect!" Shen Tang deeply felt, his maintenance was so good!
