Dongfang Xuanya noticed that he seed reluctant to talk more with her, furrowing her brows subtly.
Just then, the waiter brought over so snacks and drinks.
Dongfang Xuanya had ordered a Bloody Mary.
When Gao Lian saw the drink, he subtly shifted his gaze, taking his own drink from the waiter before asking, "How’s your alcohol tolerance?"
Stirring the drink beside her, Dongfang Xuanya felt a slight joy upon hearing this but maintained a composed expression, smiling slightly, "Not very good."
"That drink of yours is quite strong," Gao Lian remarked, looking at the Bloody Mary. "You might not feel it now, but it has a strong kick. Perhaps change to another drink?"
Dongfang Xuanya felt secretly delighted, yet her face showed indifference, "It’s okay, I’ve had it before and won’t get drunk; don’t worry."
Gao Lian was just giving a gentle reminder. Seeing her firm attitude, he shrugged slightly and turned away, drank a glass of his whisky, and said no more.
Dongfang took a sip and her gaze kept drifting towards him.
From this angle, Gao Lian’s profile was absolutely stunning!
Unlike all her ex-boyfriends, he was an entirely new category she had never conquered before.
A complete Eastern man, even his way of speaking and drinking appealed to the tough guy type she liked.
Dongfang Xuanya bit on her straw, her eyes nearly transfixed on him.
Although Gao Lian was looking elsewhere, he was very sensitive to gazes. Feeling stared at made him sowhat uncomfortable.
When he turned around, he saw Dongfang Xuanya looking down at her phone.
As if the gaze he felt was rely his imagination.
But it wasn’t an illusion.
As a detective who had been in the professional field for many years, he certainly wasn’t mistaken in this regard.
Without changing his expression, Gao Lian suddenly said, "Drink less."
Dongfang Xuanya was startled, looked down, and realized that the liquid in her glass had already reduced by two-thirds.
Feeling sweet as if honey-coated inside, Dongfang Xuanya smiled, "It’s been a long ti since I’ve drunk, but this tastes quite different from what I had before; it’s fantastic. Want to try?"
As she spoke, Dongfang Xuanya had already handed over the glass and straw directly.
Gao Lian, also taken aback by her forwardness, paused for a mont and, seeing the lipstick-stained straw, subconsciously pushed the glass away, "No need, I shouldn’t drink too much, I have matters to attend."
"Oh," Dongfang Xuanya naturally took back her glass, her deanor very composed. Suddenly, her smile brightened as she waved ahead, "Hey!"
Her voice was loud, but the venue was too noisy, and her voice drowned among the crowd’s clamor.
Gao Lian looked in the direction she was waving and saw Senior Sister.
But just as Senior Sister appeared, she was sward by people, completely unaware of Dongfang Xuanya and Gao Lian.
Seeing this, the smile on Dongfang Xuanya’s face collapsed as she said, "She seems not to have noticed ."
"She’s busy, maybe later."
"Not waiting," Dongfang Xuanya suddenly stood up, and then, pulling Gao Lian’s hand, she said, "Let’s go find her."
"Um..." Gao Lian hadn’t even reacted before being pulled up by Dongfang Xuanya.
Turning to him with a radiant smile, she playfully stuck out her tongue, "We need to steal her back~"
