When he saw the “Your message has been deleted” notification, he sighed in relief. He then kicked Zhou Nan, who had on an innocent expression. Song Xuanhe threw the phone back at Zhou Nan and asked, “When did you even get his WeChat info?”
“At Song Jiabao’s reception last time.” Zhou Nan glanced at the glass of wine in Song Xuanhe’s hand. “That time you ended up drunk.” TP7dOG
Wasn’t that also the day he had called Xiao Yuanmu “Daddy?”
Zhou Nan had touched his sore spot. Song Xuanhe’s expression turned rigid. The glare he directed towards Zhou Nan was as sharp as a blade. However, by the time Zhou Nan looked over at him, his eyes had already curved into a friendly smile.
“Now that I think about it, I didn’t get to drink enough with you last time. You have to try my handiwork today.” Song Xuanhe beamed as he called a waiter over. He whispered into the waiter’s ears. The waiter hesitated for a moment before giving an affirmative answer and leaving.
Zhou Nan didn’t know why, but he felt like the occasional glances that Song Xuanhe—this handsome fellow with a deceiving face— was giving him felt a bit weird. Furthermore, when the other had said, “Taste my handiwork,” it felt like he had actually been saying “I’m going to kick your ass.” KxuSr5
However, these thoughts disappeared when he saw Song Xuanhe’s nimble and beautiful drink mixing skills and especially when he saw the end product. It was an ombre-coloured cocktail in a wine glass, the colour going from grey to blue. Zhou Nan’s eyes widened in amazement.
“A cocktail I have specifically made for you. Make sure to drink it all.” Song Xuanhe pushed the drink to Zhou Nan’s side, beaming.
“Of course I’ll finish it. But, when did you learn how to mix drinks? And, you’re so good at it too.” Zhou Nan was astonished. He raised the glass and looked at it from the bottom. Even though the cup had swayed, the drink still retained its ombre effect—the colours didn’t mix together.
The waiter who had brought the necessary mixing tools and alcohol to Song Xuanhe was shocked. Even the bartender, who had followed along to see which guest had wanted to mix drinks, was astonished. The fact that the bartender could mix drinks here was evidence of his skill. However, despite all the years he’d spent mixing drinks and participating in competitions, he had never seen a drink like this before. TAPz9w
The beautiful colours and that ombre effect…the alcohol used in it had been expensive too. If he could learn how to make that, it could become a signature drink.
The bartender looked at Song Xuanhe with an ardent gaze. However, when he remembered who Song Xuanhe was, he became dejected. The people who could come drink here were not people he could casually seek connections with. He was different from the waiters. He had only been hired to work.
While Zhou Nan was astonished, the young lady sitting next to Xiao Shenglin had also widened her eyes. She looked at the ombre colour in the glass with fondness on her face. The drink looked like a cloudy sky clearing up or a hazy morning. Her mood bettered as she looked at it.
“Xuanhe gege
The assistant hadn’t had the time to persuade Xiao Ranyun out of it when they heard Sun Jinren say, “It’s fine. Miss Xiao, I can drink it. Let me help you drink it.” N5zXTg
As soon as he had spoken, he heard a clear and sonorous male voice say in a furious tone, “Does someone like you have the right to drink this?”
The author has something to say:
Zhou Nan: Emperor, your heart is so ruthless. I, your servant, have served you for so many years but you actually made me drink poisoned wine. How malicious!
Eve: Eve: Gotta say, I did not have a good time doing Sun Jinren’s parts. It made me…feel so grossed out. Brb need a shower. aiF8nS
Kara: Sun Jinren is a disgusting and sad excuse of a human being. Excuse me while I vomit.\n
