"Then I, Li, will respectfully comply."

Mr. Li responded with a smile, rubbed his hands together as usual, and began to select the five wine glasses placed on the table.

Before he rose to prominence, he never imagined that he would be able to drink and make merry at the same table as a beautiful woman from a prestigious family like Ling Mo.

Furthermore, Ling Mo's attitude towards him was quite respectful, which pleased him greatly.

Therefore, when he noticed Ling Mo's slender hand seemingly unintentionally resting on one of the wine glasses, he did not hesitate to choose the wine glass that Ling Mo had touched.

Seeing this, Ling Mo raised an eyebrow slightly and asked softly:

"Has Mr. Li made his choice?"

"I've chosen this one." President Li nodded, his greasy lips still kissing the cup that Ling Mo had touched in a flattering manner.

"..."

Ling Mo ignored President Li's deliberate attempt to curry favor and instead moved the remaining four items on the table to Su Yu, saying, "Auntie, it's your turn."

"I never expected Mo Mo to be so good at having fun."

Su Yu teased Ling Mo with a bright smile, her tone inevitably revealing a hint of contempt.

Seeing that Ling Mo, unusually, did not retort, she slowly fixed her gaze on the four wine glasses in front of her.

All four glasses were covered with lids and looked almost identical. Even with the sharpest eyes, it would be difficult to distinguish the differences between them.

It seems that Ling Mo is quite vigilant.

They actually came up with this trick, trying to disrupt the order of the wine glasses.

Unfortunately, Ling Mo's "strategy of Zhang Liang" was ultimately no match for her "ladder over the wall".

Before the banquet began, she had already given Ling Tian the antidote and also put the antidote in Ling Yunlong's teacup.

In this way, even if one accidentally gets some of the medicine from Ling Mo's wine glass, there will be no sudden series of adverse reactions.

As for herself, because she was pregnant, she could not take the antidote and could only use lipstick to distinguish herself.

"Auntie, are you scared and don't dare to play?"

Ling Mo seemed a little impatient, a slight smile playing on his lips, his narrow peach blossom eyes revealing a hint of mockery.

Su Yu replied with a forced smile:

"It's just a little game, what's there to be afraid of?"

With that, she stretched out her hand, adorned with a jade bracelet, and pointed to the wine glass with lipstick stains on its rim. "I've made my choice too."

Ling Mo placed his hands on the table, pausing slightly as he spoke:

"Auntie, is it really settled? It's not too late to back out now."

Su Yu examined the cup in her hand with suspicion. Seeing that the lipstick mark on the cup was the same shade as the lipstick on her lips, she calmed herself down and said firmly, "I won't change it."

Seeing that Su Yu had made up her mind, Ling Mo said no more. Then he asked Ling Yunlong and Ling Tian to continue choosing from the wine glasses that President Li and Su Yu had left behind.

When only one wine glass remained on the table, Mr. Li, who had been waiting impatiently, hurriedly stood up, eagerly placed the glass in front of Ling Mo, and lecherously suggested:

"Miss Ling, how about we go all out?"

"Um?"

Ling Mo subtly avoided his rough hand, gripped the wine glass tightly with two fingers, and subconsciously took a small step to the side.

Mr. Li felt a sense of emptiness after failing to hold Ling Mo's hand.

Seeing her stunningly beautiful face again, illuminated by the crystal chandelier, made his longing grow even stronger.

No longer caring that Ling Yunlong and the others were still watching, he squinted his eyes lewdly and whispered a suggestion:

"I wonder if Miss Ling would be willing to drink a cup of nuptial wine with me?"

"Shouldn't there be a proper order of arrival? We haven't even finished one round of Truth or Dare, isn't Mr. Li being a bit too impatient?"

Ling Mo's expression was icy, and he didn't even bother to look at him directly. He casually lifted the lid off his wine glass and said indifferently:

"I drew coconut juice."

When Mr. Li saw that Ling Mo was acting indifferent, he suddenly felt a little displeased.

So what if she's from a prestigious family?

Li Tao is a successful man with a net worth of over 100 million yuan. Does that mean he's not good enough for her?

If it weren't for her good looks and outstanding figure, he wouldn't have bothered with her at all.

However, although he disliked Ling Mo's sudden change in attitude, he still wore a smile and followed Ling Mo's lead, lifting the wine glass placed in front of him.

"I drew red wine." Mr. Li gave a soft "Eh," turned his head slightly, and joked with Ling Mo, "Miss Ling, are you perhaps trying to get me drunk?"

"Mr. Li chose the wine glass first, so how could I possibly control your choice?"

Ling Mo took a deep breath, having already reached his limit of patience.

She said she would never come to a banquet like this again.

Although she was confident enough to ensure she wouldn't suffer any loss in silence, the thought of having to deal with a greasy and sleazy man like President Li was utterly disgusting.

Su Yu silently observed the wine glasses in everyone's hands, and realized that Ling Mo had just happened to draw the wine glass that she had laced with a large amount of drug, and she was secretly delighted.

She gracefully picked up the wine glass in front of her, and nodded to Mr. Li with a charming smile:

"Mr. Li won the red wine in one go, which is a very auspicious sign, symbolizing good fortune and prosperity. I propose that we all toast Mr. Li to thank him for the hospitality he has shown us tonight."

"Thank you for Mrs. Ling's kind words. I, Li, will drink first as a sign of respect."

Mr. Li liked to hear nice things, and seeing that Su Yu was being so accommodating, he picked up his wine glass and readily drank the red wine in it.

Su Yu's face was radiant with delight. Seeing Ling Mo also pick up his wine glass and sip the coconut juice in it, she was overjoyed.
