Chapter 0057 Compensation (1 / 2)

“I’ve held back a lot of drinks for you at parties!”

She added with slight chagrin, as if bits and pieces of the past were converging into a nameless fire in this moment.

Su Wanqing secretly screamed in her heart.

If he hadn’t tried to help him block that round of toasts that day, how could he have mistakenly drunk that drugged drink in a confused manner?

The cause and effect of everything seems to have found its source in this moment.

The corner of Qi Zhi Iu’s mouth hooked up an imperceptible arc, a hint of cunning in his tone, “Is it hard to believe that I forced you to drink it?”

His words, though questioning, seemed to have been insightful.

Indeed, he himself was responsible for what happened that night, and he couldn’t be blamed for it all.

“But at that time, Grandpa, Aunt Qin, and Chairman Qi were all present, and they instructed me to keep an eye on you and not to let you drink too much.”

His words revealed a bit of helplessness; after all, he was in a position where he wasn’t allowed to overindulge in alcohol, especially hard liquor.

“There’s a fine line between staring and drinking instead, I don’t suppose you’re not aware of that, are you?”

There was a hint of sharpness in Su Wanqing’s words, and it was clear that she did not intend to let this topic go easily.

Qi Zhiyu smiled slightly, seemingly enjoying the fun of this little argument, “Then you didn’t ask me beforehand.”

There was a challenging glint in his eyes, as if he was testing her boundaries.

This sentence, as if pouring cold water on her head, caused Su Wanqing’s enthusiasm to instantly die out, and her desire for conversation to cool down abruptly.

“Count me out.”

She sighed softly and turned her body slightly to the side, intent on pulling away from the two and restoring that shattered personal space.

He let out a murmur, his magnetic voice dripping with reluctance and seduction.

Then a strong arm encircled her waist, easily pulling her into his arms and sitting her firmly in his lap.

His tone was languid, the corners of his mouth hung with a light arc of a smile, “Angry?”

“No.”

Su Wanqing forced down the waves in her heart, and there was a trace of imperceptible trembling in her voice, “You’re right, you didn’t ask me to drink on your behalf.”

However, as soon as the words were out of his mouth, the resentment crept out of his heart again, “But you namely did not refuse those drinks, nor did you tell me frankly about it all!”

“And before that, you didn’t take the initiative to ask.”

Qi Zhi Iu gazed deeply at her, those dark eyes seemed to be able to see into the hearts of the people, making them unable to hide.

Su Wanqing was momentarily speechless, reason telling her that these words were not unreasonable.

The fault is not all his.

“I know.”

She tugged gently on his arm, signaling him to put himself down, “I misjudged you in the party, and I really should make amends.”

“Compensation?”

Qi Zhi Iu’s eyes suddenly became dark, the smile at the corner of his mouth became meaningful, his low and seductive voice echoed in the car, “A kiss, not too much, right?”

Su Wanqing spat lightly, instinctively avoiding his approaching lips, pushing back, “Qi Zhiyu, can you stop thinking about this all day?”

His image seemed to be getting more and more elusive in her mind during this time.

No, perhaps it should be said that from the beginning, she had never really gotten to know him as a person in any depth.

“Tonight’s party is the business.”

She reminded that the neatness of clothing is a matter of external appearance, so how can one not pay attention to it?

Qi Zhi Iu gently held her restless little hand and asked back in a serious manner, “Just wanting a kiss, is that too much?”

Just wanting a kiss? Su Wanqing stared at him suspiciously, her heart was mixed, but in the end, she did not open her mouth to question.
