The small fist was completely wrapped by his big hand, even the palm started sweating. Ji Niandong nodded, trying to stay calm while changing the topic: "So... where are you taking now?"
"I just let Li Yi go ahead to book the restaurant. It’s not easy to get married, of course we need to celebrate!" He answered with a smile on his face, looking genuinely satisfied and happy, hence wanting to celebrate.
Ji Niandong didn’t speak anymore, suddenly fell quiet, as she found the atmosphere increasingly strange.
The car quickly arrived at the destination.
The most romantic restaurant under Yi Tai, the interior design was like an art exhibition, yet harmoniously and uniquely warm.
The restaurant was completely empty, it seed he booked the whole place.
Ji Niandong just thought rich people have it good, everywhere they go feels like their own place, they can do whatever they want!
The waiter guided them to sit down, and the lodious violin music started playing alongside elegant dancers.
Soon, the waiter began serving the dishes one by one!
Lu Beichen cut the steak in front of him and placed it before her, then exchanged it for hers, advising: "You should’ve had little ti to eat properly running all over the place these days, start with so lemon tea to awaken your appetite. Eat more, girls are cuter with a bit of flesh!"
Is he saying she’s too skinny? Ji Niandong looked down at herself with the cutlery, nothing could block the downward view.
She stuffed a piece of at into her mouth, bowing her head to eat in silence.
Lu Beichen glanced at her subtle actions and couldn’t help but smile, "You don’t seem like soone who doesn’t like to talk, why do you always stay silent? Still afraid of ?"
He probably finds her too quiet, right? They just t, she indeed didn’t have many topics to discuss. Hesitating for a mont, she asked, "You... um, Little Uncle, what topic would you like to chat about?"
"You can chat about anything you want!" Because of how she used the term of endearnt, Lu Beichen smiled deeper, raised his wine glass towards her, "Let’s celebrate!"
Ji Niandong quickly extended her glass for a toast, then took a sip, swallowing it reluctantly. The taste was quite harsh, prompting her to quickly stuff another piece of steak into her mouth.
"You can’t handle alcohol?" Lu Beichen’s voice was noticeably surprised.
Ji Niandong shook her head, "I used to handle alcohol well. After the car accident, Shen... he wouldn’t let drink anymore, but my father continues to drink excessively, resulting in him now being in the hospital, unconscious!"
She said she was skilled, not resistant!
She actually couldn’t drink much, but she knew how to taste wine.
Her father loved drinking, no matter which kind of wine, she could discern it in three sips at most, accurately identifying even the year and origin.
"That’s really a pity!" Lu Beichen’s voice carried a long resonance, seemingly genuinely regretful, "But why did you have the car accident?"
"Traffic accidents are so common now, who knows, maybe I accidentally drank too much!"
She couldn’t rember how she had the accident, and every ti she asked, her father and Shen Congjun avoided direct answers. It’s just that Shen Congjun no longer allowed her to drink, possibly because drinking caused trouble. Thus, even though she felt down, she never considered drowning her sorrows in alcohol!
Ji Niandong’s expression dimd for a mont, "Let’s not dwell on the past. Today is a happy day, shall we talk about sothing cheerful?"
Lu Beichen nodded, no longer asking more questions.
Ji Niandong forced a faint smile and said, "But, I just tasted it; this bottle should be a 2001 Lafite, right?"
Lu Beichen shook his head with a smile, saying, "Poor alcohol tolerance, poor tasting skills too, not drinking is indeed good!"
"How do you know I have poor alcohol tolerance?!"
