Yang Li looked at the hand stretched out to her and she felt her heartbeat quicken once again. She controlled her lips from curling up and put her hand in his. Following that, she was pulled up.
Her hands were then released.
The two of them headed to the hall side by side.
When they arrived at the hall, they saw that the commotion on Zi Yi’s side had ended. Lu Zhiheng and Lu Yunxiao were not at the hall and Zi Yi was currently chatting with Little Loli.
Rick made a suggestion. “Miss Zi should have also been scared earlier. You can have a drink with her and comfort her at the same time. There’s a type of wine that has low alcohol content here and it is suitable for young ladies like you to drink.”
Yang Li had never encountered such a gentlemanly and considerate man like Rick. She nodded at his suggestion while her mind was floating in the clouds.
Rick smiled. His smile was bewitching. He motioned for a waiter and said to him, “Prepare two low-alcohol cocktails for Miss Yang.”
“Okay, please kindly wait as I fetch the drinks.”
As soon as Rick entered the hall, someone saw him and called him over.
Rick then spoke to Yang Li. “Miss Yang, you can make your way over.”
Yang Li nodded at him and headed to where Zi Yi was standing.
When Yang Li was about to reach where Zi Yi was, the waiter Rick had called for had delivered the alcohol to her.
Yang Li lifted the two glasses of cocktails and made her way over.
“Zi Yi.”
Zi Yi saw Yang Li who was walking over with a big smile on her face. She then motioned to Little Loli to play by herself.
When Yang Li came over, she handed one of the glasses to Zi Yi and asked in a curious tone, “Zi Yi, I went to the washroom earlier. What happened in the end? Were you the one who managed to continue a conversation with the big shot or the Eldest Young Master Lu?”
Zi Yi received the glass of wine from Yang Li and just as she placed it near her lips with the intention to take a sip, she immediately smelled a faint scent.
She sized up Yang Li who was reacting as per normal in an unsuspecting manner. She then held the cocktail glass instead. “Lu Zhiheng doesn’t understand what Mr. Colin is saying. Do you think he could possibly continue having a conversation with him?”
Yang Li laughed unkindly at her words.
She became even more curious as she asked, “Then what happened next?”
She felt that the Eldest Young Master Lu was not the type of person who would let things go without doing anything.
“What happened next huh… the Eldest Young Master Lu was… taken away by my brother-in-law.”
Yang Lu covered her mouth and laughed as she lifted the cocktail. “I heard that this type of alcohol tastes pretty good. Come, let’s have a toast. We should keep in touch often in the future. You’re welcome to visit our university town to play.”
Zi Yi nodded her head and looked into her eyes as she casually asked, “Who did you encounter when you went out earlier?”
Yang Li’s hand suddenly stopped when she heard her question and following that, she told Zi Yi what had happened earlier.
Zi Yi looked at Yang Li’s face that was slowly revealing a shy expression and managed to guess what had happened.
She tapped her finger on the glass and pointed at where the desserts were displayed. “I haven’t eaten tonight and have been busy drinking. Let’s go and have some cakes to eat before drinking.”
Yang Li also felt a little hungry and nodded her head in agreement.
The two of them held their glasses and headed over.
Along the way, Zi Yi called for Little Loli who was in the vicinity, and made her tag along.
The place where the desserts were displayed also had several other alcohols placed there.
Zi Yi walked to the cake area and passed the glass to Little Loli as she said, “Little Loli, take this glass to the resting area. I’ll come over after grabbing some cakes.”
Little Loli nodded her head.
Zi Yi also asked Yang Li. “Do you want Little Loli to take the glass over first?”
Yang Li nodded and passed the glass to Little Loli. “Little girl, thank you.”
Little Loli gave her a foolish smile and said, “You’re welcome.”
Following that, the Little Loli held their glasses and headed to one side.
Zi Yi and Yang Li were filling their plates with cakes when Zi Yi’s phone received a notification.
She put down the plate and checked her phone. It was a message from Little Loli.
[Master, the two drinks are spiked.]
Zi Yi glanced at Yang Li who was still immersed in her fantasy and revealed a cold gaze as she expressionlessly typed a reply.
[Find a way to switch the contents in the glass and as for what we had prepared for them, find a way to let them drink it.]
[I understand, Master.]
“Zi Yi, I’m done, what about you?”
Zi Yi put away her phone and glanced at the two small cakes on Yang Li’s plate. She then continued grabbing a few other cakes.
“Zi Yi, don’t take too much. It’s easy to get fat from eating these cakes.” Yang Li saw how she had consecutively grabbed a few other cakes and she was simply stunned.
Zi Yi’s lips curled up and she said, “It doesn’t matter, I don’t get fat from eating.”
Yang Li was envious of her body constitution. “If only I had a body constitution like yours where I won’t get fat no matter what I eat.”
After Zi Yi had finished grabbing what she wanted, the two of them headed to where Little Loli was seated.
They sat down and had a casual chat as they ate.
Little Loli, who was seated next to Zi Yi, passed them the two glasses of cocktails and said, “Sister, Sister Yang, your alcohol.”
Yang Li received the glass and had a toast with Zi Yi before they finished the alcohol as they chatted happily.
Rick who was standing at another corner turned away with a satisfied expression on his face. It just so happened that he had also finished the wine in his glass.
He motioned for the waiter to add to his drink while his gaze casually checked out the surroundings.
Only to discover that Elson was not in the hall.
Rick narrowed his eyes in displeasure.
Just then, someone came over and started chatting with him. However, Rick rejected him by saying, “My apologies, I have something to attend to.”
He then finished the wine in his glass and headed outside the door.
As soon as he came out, Rick took out his phone and phoned Elson. “Where are you?”
Elson replied, “At the lounge area.”
An eerie and chilly smile curled upon his lips as Rick said, “She has drank the alcohol. I will have someone direct her to the villa right in front. You can head over there and wait.”
Elson’s excited voice immediately sounded. “Okay!”
After hanging up the call, Rick made another phone call. “Head over to the villa in front. There will be a big tabloid for you to report on shortly.”
Without waiting for a response from the other party, Rick had hung up the phone call.
He originally planned to return to the hall when a surge of fire suddenly erupted from within.
Rick’s heart sank and he immediately noticed that he had fallen into a trap. He hastily took out his phone and phoned his bodyguards.
“Come fetch me at once.”
Having said that, he quickly loosened his necktie with the intention of doing an emergency treatment.
A female waitress just so happened to make her way outside.
The moment she saw Rick, her eyes brightened up and she came over to where he was.
“Mister, is there anything I can help you with?”
Her voice was sweet-sounding and it caused the surge of fire within him to flare up.
He forcefully suppressed the urge and said with a deep voice, “Get lost!”
However, instead of leaving, the female waitress came closer to him. “Mister, your face is rather flushed. Are you drunk? Why don’t I help you to the lounge?”
As soon as she said that, her body stuck close to his arm.
“AH-!”
The female waitress fell to the ground from the sudden push.
Rick suppressed his murderous aura and headed outside with a grim expression.
