Wouldn't that be too embarrassing?
Bai Lu furrowed her brows and smiled stiffly. "Mr. Li, I'm actually not a very good drinker."
As she said this, she subconsciously looked at Wen Zhaoren. That despicable man was clearly ignoring her pleading eyes. Bai Lu wanted to cry but had no tears. At the same time, she suddenly felt another deep gaze on her. Almost instantly, she thought of something and instinctively turned her face. Coincidentally, her eyes met the man who was leaning back in his seat lazily but was also looking at her.
Liang Feifan probably did not expect her to suddenly look at him.
His heart skipped a beat and even his gaze shifted a little.
That orange light enveloped the top of his head. When his gaze shifted, Bai Lu's heart thumped heavily.
She really thought she was seeing things … Because it felt unreal again. In the blink of an eye, he had already reverted to his cold and distant self.
It was as if their past was just a dream. It was really just a dream that was out of reach. Perhaps in the end, the person who had cruelly shattered the dream was herself. Hence, the person who was still stuck in the dream was still herself.
…
Bai Lu bit her lip and secretly took a deep breath. She lowered her eyes. After a moment, she looked up again and met Liang Feifan's gaze. She smiled. The curve of her lips was especially smooth. She took a step forward and looked down at the elegant and lazy man. "Mr. Liang, you came from City A to City C. I think everyone should toast to Mr. Liang. Moreover, Mr. Liang can be considered the person who inspired me when it comes to architectural design. So, Mr. Li, one glass of your wine is enough. Let me toast the rest to Mr. Liang."
Now that Liang Feifan was involved, how could Mr. Li dare to act rashly?
He must have really lost his mind just now. How could he have overlooked Liang Feifan? Just looking at a woman and he was already like this …
Mr. Li was secretly annoyed. He hurriedly plastered a smile on his face and said cheerfully, "… Yes, yes, yes, Director Bai, you're really thoughtful. It's my duty, it's my duty … After you, Director Bai, I … went overboard …"
Liang Feifan did not bat an eyelid. He looked up at Bai Lu with a calm gaze. He looked at the wine glass she handed him and pursed his thin lips slightly. He raised his brows and said, "… Miss Bai, you're too polite. But do you know the custom of drinking at this table? Have you thought of the consequences of toasting me so casually? "
Bai Lu's hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly.
Wen Zhaoren, who had been indifferent all this while, twitched his mouth at this moment. He resisted the urge to laugh — these two people, was it worth it to be like this?
Liang Feifan … was really boring!
He had missed her for so long and waited for her to come back. He had set up so many traps just to wait for her to jump in. He knew that she would never return to City A, so he spent a lot of money to come to City C and start his business here. Now that she was really standing in front of him, he was really calm.
Bai Lu didn't know what Liang Feifan meant. Was he reminding her of something by saying this, or … was there really a custom of drinking at this table?
She frowned. Actually, she was more or less resentful, but she couldn't vent her anger in front of so many people. She muttered to herself for a moment before saying, "Mr. Liang, what do you mean?"
"… It doesn't mean anything. It means that in City C, if there is only one woman at a table of people eating and drinking, and she takes the initiative to stand up and toast the first man, then it means that this woman and this man …"
He deliberately paused at this point in his deep voice. Everyone at the table was sitting, but no one spoke. What Liang Feifan said just now made everyone confused. They didn't quite understand what he meant. Was there such a "legend" about the dinner parties in City C?
Why didn't they, who rolled around at dinner parties every day, know about it?
Most importantly, toasting meant that this woman and this man … What did it mean?
Wen Zhaoren pursed his lips. He really couldn't hold it in anymore. He really wanted to laugh!
Bai Lu's heart sank slightly. She was originally looking at Liang Feifan with confidence, but now her gaze flickered. However, she was already standing on the edge of a cliff. How could she back down now? She wouldn't allow herself to back down.
She tightened the quilt in her hands and asked, "… What does it mean?"
Liang Feifan's lips curled into a smile. His unparalleled handsome face dazzled everyone's eyes because of this slight smile. He was still so outstanding. Apart from the aura of a king that came with his body, there was also a magic that could easily turn people's hearts upside down …
Liang Feifan … Liang Feifan …
Don't smile at me …
"It means …"
Liang Feifan spoke in a deep voice, deliberately dragging out the last two words. His long fingers with distinct joints gently tapped on the table. He paused for a moment before saying, "It means that this woman really likes this man. It's a bit of a confession."
"…"
"Miss Bai, we haven't seen each other for almost a year, right? Right now, Miss Bai … Do you have such thoughts towards me? "
Bai Lu was speechless.
Wen Zhaoren finally couldn't hold it in anymore and let out a snort. Fortunately, his voice wasn't loud, so Bai Lu, who looked embarrassed and didn't know how to respond, didn't hear anything. On the other hand, everyone at the table looked confused. Some of them seemed to have realized something —
Could it be that they had guessed wrongly?
Wen Zhaoren hadn't said a word from beginning to end. Instead, it was Liang Feifan … who said some unheard of "rules" that startled Bai Lu. Could it be that … Mr. Liang had taken a liking to Director Bai?
Bai Lu's expression was extremely awkward and stiff.
She gripped the glass in her hand tightly and stared unblinkingly at Liang Feifan. She didn't expect him to say something like that.
What did that mean? It meant that he was openly flirting with her!
Did it mean that he was confessing to her?
…
Liang Feifan's words didn't mean that he was flirting with her. So … he was purely joking with her?
Bai Lu sneered inwardly. So, he was already so calm that he could joke with her like nothing had happened …
She instinctively straightened her back. Everyone in the private room was silent. Probably everyone could tell that Liang Feifan's words were intentional. They should have known this woman named Bai Lu before. What was the situation now? Wen Zhaoren didn't say anything, so the others naturally didn't dare to say anything either.
"… Mr. Liang, I just came back to City C. I really didn't know that there was such an unwritten rule at the table in City C. I've offended you."
Bai Lu calmed herself down. When she spoke, her tone was very calm. Even her expression was calm. She brought the wine glass in her hand to her lips and smiled slightly. "So, Mr. Liang, I know that you're a married man. No matter what, I shouldn't have toasted you first. I'll take it that I didn't know the rules at that time. I'll drink it myself."
Bai Lu raised her neck and was about to finish the wine in one gulp.
In the next second, his wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone.
The glass in her hand shook, and a few drops of white liquid instantly splashed out. Coincidentally, it landed right on the collar of Bai Lu's shirt …
The cool feeling quickly seeped into her skin. Fortunately, it was white, so she didn't look too disheveled. However, Bai Lu still felt a little annoyed. She glared at Liang Feifan. What was this person trying to do?
Liang Feifan's gaze fell on her collar. Her fair neck was slender and beautiful. He remembered that in the past, when he hugged her, he liked to caress her neck with his hand. Her soft skin gave him a very good feeling. At this moment, there were some wine stains on her neck, but it seemed to make her even more seductive.
The man's Adam's apple moved up and down.
Below his lower abdomen, the man's desire actually woke up in an instant. Liang Feifan quickly took a deep breath secretly and calmed his own desires. In front of so many people, it would be really funny if he set up a tent in his lower body.
Bai Lu didn't know what Liang Feifan meant, but his words and actions did indeed make her a little angry. The man's slender fingers pinched her wrist in front of everyone. She was anxious, angry, and annoyed. After a while, the man still didn't say anything. She struggled for a while, and the wine in the glass was about to spill out again. She immediately decided to use her other hand to take the wine glass in her palm. However, she didn't expect that Liang Feifan would beat her to it —
He snatched the wine glass in her palm in a flash. In front of everyone, he curled his lips, tilted his head, and drank the wine in one gulp.
Bai Lu: "…"
Everyone: "…"
"This wine, after toasting, there's no reason not to toast again."
Liang Feifan's hand happened to be caressing Bai Lu's wrist. The curve of his thin lips was intoxicating. "Miss Bai, I was just joking with you. Don't take it seriously. Miss Bai, even if I was your former employer, I should also drink the wine that Miss Bai toasted, right? "
After drinking the wine in the glass, the man's mood seemed to become much better in an instant. His deep voice said something ambiguous, and his eyes moved.
Bai Lu's heart thumped. Liang Feifan's eyes were too seductive. She instinctively turned her face away and frowned. Her wrist was still held by him. She struggled for a while, and Liang Feifan finally snapped out of his daze and released her.
Bai Lu took a step back and looked at Liang Feifan cautiously. After a while, she said calmly, "… Mr. Liang, it's best that you were joking. Otherwise, if Mr. Liang's wife at home finds out, she will misunderstand. I don't want any misunderstandings to happen, so it's best that we laugh it off."
