Qin Susu nodded vigorously, "That's right, don't drink it."

"No..." Before Bai Lu could finish speaking, Ling Qi grabbed her hands.

She was furious and wanted to resist, but in an instant, Ling Qi tied both her arms behind her back.

This scene left the restaurant waiter, the manager, and all the diners speechless.

Bai Lu's feelings at this moment could not be described by the word "anger." She ground her back teeth fiercely, "Ling... Qi!"

"Bai Lu, I'm sorry." Ling Qi smiled apologetically, then slapped Bai Lu on the back of the neck.

Throughout the entire process, he completely ignored Bai Lu's murderous gaze.

Then, Bai Lu swayed and fell into Ling Qi's arms.

Ling Qi carried Bai Lu to the table and began to call the waiter to serve the dishes.

"Waiter, bring me one of all your signature dishes."

Qin Susu froze for a moment, then glared at Ling Qi with displeasure, "Ling Qi, you've gone too far!"

"If you don't do it this way, do you have any other options?"

Qin Susu shook her head; Bai Lu was stubborn, and she couldn't persuade her.

Even so, she still felt that Ling Qi's actions were inappropriate.

"But……"

"Xiaoyan said that if a pregnant woman drinks alcohol, she may give birth to a child with intellectual disabilities."

Qin Susu genuinely felt indignant for Bai Lu, but weighing the pros and cons, Bai Lu was a strong-willed woman, and Ling Qi wouldn't be able to change her mind unless he confronted her directly.

"Sister Bailu, I'm so sorry." She was now filled with remorse. Why did she suggest drinking with Bailu?

Sigh, why is her brain always so hard to work?

Soon, the food and drinks were ready.

Looking at the delicious food on the table, Qin Susu swallowed hard, glanced apologetically at Bai Lu, and began to eat.

She chewed her food, saying as she ate:

"Ling Qi, do you have any money? Can you lend me some?"

"No." Ling Qi didn't even look up, only wanting to finish eating quickly so he could bring Bai Lu back to the Qiu residence as soon as possible.

There was nothing he could do; everyone around him was looking at him with hostility, especially the restaurant owner.

It was obvious that people saw him as a bully who preyed on women.

Qin Susu must have been angry because Ling Qi rejected her so bluntly.

She puffed out her cheeks.

"Hmph, your character is terrible, and you're so stingy. It's a good thing that Sister Bailu doesn't like you."

Ling Qi raised her eyes, took a sip of wine, and teased, "The dignified daughter of the Qin family, isn't your father's military pay enough for you?"

"Do you know the old saying, 'A married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl'?" Qin Susu suppressed her anger and spoke with a wronged tone.

She's poor.

"Then ask your husband for it."

“My poor husband has absolutely no money for me.”

"Keep pretending." Ling Qi chuckled and reached for the money pouch at his waist.

Just as Qin Susu extended her right arm, he bent it back with one hand and asked with a smile, "Tell me first, what do you need the money for?"

Ling Qi was puzzled. Now that Qin Susu was with Qiu Yan, she had no worries about food or clothing.

To his surprise, Qin Susu's reason was...

"The food here is so delicious."

Without money, how will we eat?

After Qin Susu finished speaking, she snatched Ling Qi's money bag and even weighed it.

"Enough for me to eat for a month."

Ling Qi: "At least leave me a little bit."

He looked at his empty palm and said with dissatisfaction, "What a glutton. You promised to pay me back."

After saying that, he took another sip of wine and prepared to take Bailu home first.
