Her face flushed with anxiety, afraid that An Ci wouldn't believe her. She even raised three fingers and said, "Really? I swear, if I lie..."
"Wait." An Ci interrupted her, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "You don't have to swear, I believe what you say."
Hearing this, Cui Mingzhu's eyes lit up, "Do you really believe me?"
An Ci nodded. Cui Mingzhu brought the plate in her hand closer to her and looked at her expectantly, "Then you have a piece."
It seemed as if she didn't believe her if she didn't eat.
An Ci had no choice but to reach out and take a piece of cake, "Thank you."
Even though her tone was a little distant, Cui Mingzhu couldn't help but feel happy. She curled her pink lips, revealing two cute little fangs.
"An Ci, you are such a good shooter. Do you play basketball often?" She took the initiative to start the conversation.
An Ci took a bite of the pastry and said calmly, "No, just occasionally."
She had no interest in playing basketball. When Shen Mo and the others played basketball, she usually watched from the sidelines. After they finished playing, Shen Mo would catch her to practice alone, under the pretext of helping her grow taller.
But to be fair, Shen Mo is indeed a very good teacher.
"Can you be so powerful just by fighting occasionally?" Cui Mingzhu was surprised, and her eyes brightened as she looked at her.
An Ci said, "Others taught me well."
When she said this, Cui Mingzhu clearly noticed that her tone softened a little, and there was a faint smile in her eyes.
At this time, the servant came running over and said, "Miss Mingzhu, the lady is looking for you. Please come over."
Cui Mingzhu frowned. She wanted to stay with An Ci for a while longer, but she also knew that she couldn't be allowed to act like a spoiled brat in an occasion like today.
After handing the plate of cakes to the servant, she took out her phone and looked up at An Ci, her cheeks slightly red. "An Ci, um, can I add you as my friend?"
An Ci readily agreed, "Sure."
Then she took out her phone and asked her to scan the code.
Just add it, more friends mean more paths to take.
After adding An Ci as a friend, Cui Mingzhu smiled contentedly and walked back to the banquet hall with brisk steps.
Not long after she left, An Ci was called back by An Zhenxiong. For the rest of the time, An Ci kept following An Zhenxiong and recognizing people. After going around all the time, An Ci's face was almost frozen with laughter.
Looking at the people around him chatting and laughing, An Ci couldn't help but sigh in his heart that they were full of energy and didn't feel tired even after chatting for three hours.
It’s really amazing.
An Ci tilted her head and raised her hand to rub the corners of her sour mouth. An Zhenxiong, who was standing next to her, saw it and a smile flashed in his eyes.
I don’t know how long it took, but the banquet was almost over. An Zhenxiong said goodbye to Mr. Cui and took An Ci back first.
As soon as he got in the car, An Ci fell directly onto the seat and lay down. His heels were sore and numb after standing all night.
Oh my god, I’m so tired.
"It seems that your regular training is not enough. You are so tired after attending a banquet." An Zhenxiong's smiling voice came from the other side.
An Ci looked up at him with a miserable expression, "No way, Grandpa, how can attending a banquet be the same as training?"
Training only requires physical strength, while attending a banquet is more of a mental activity. Fortunately, she is not yet an adult, otherwise she would have to drink in such occasions.
An Zhenxiong asked with great interest, "How is it different?"
"Every one of those people at the banquet is a fox, and their words are always convoluted and multifaceted," An Ci said. "Dealing with them is too taxing."
An Zhenxiong chuckled and looked at her meaningfully, "They are old foxes who have become spirits. What about you?"
"Me?" An Ci looked confused.
An Zhenxiong twirled the jade ring on his finger and said with a half-smile, "Don't you have anything to tell me about the medicine for Mr. Cui and the club?"
An Ci stared at An Zhenxiong for a while, a helpless smile appeared on his face, "Grandpa, you seem to have drunk quite a bit of wine tonight."
Why do I still remember these things?
An Zhenxiong snorted and laughed, "That's just a little bit of wine."
With his alcohol tolerance, he wouldn't be afraid of two more bottles now.
"As expected of my grandfather." After so many years, An Ci's flattery skills have become perfect. "This is a huge capacity. He can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk."
However, An Zhenxiong is not so easy to fool.
He glanced at her and said, "Stop talking nonsense."
An Ci chuckled dryly, sat up, and said slowly, "Before attending the banquet, didn't I tell you that I prepared a gift for Mr. Cui? After all, it's his birthday, and a junior like me can't go empty-handed. But I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that I would just happen to catch Mr. Cui having a heart attack."
An Zhenxiong frowned, "How did you know that Mr. Cui had a heart attack?"
The Cui family blocked the news of Mr. Cui's illness. If Mr. Cui hadn't mentioned it to him privately, he wouldn't have known about it.
"I went to the bathroom and took a walk around. I happened to see Cui Ming asking his bodyguards to pick up the doctor. He was in a hurry and didn't even close the door. I was curious, so I followed him in." An Ci explained in an orderly manner.
When An Zhenxiong heard this, he really felt that this was something she would do.
He is very curious and very courageous.
"How dare you casually enter someone else's room? Aren't you afraid of being caught?" he said unhappily.
"Grandpa, you are here." An Ci said nicely.
An Zhenxiong glared at her and said, "Stop smiling at me. Don't be so reckless again. It's a good thing you met Cui Ming. If it was the second or third son of the Cui family, you would be in danger."
At that time, Mr. Cui's condition worsened. If an outsider suddenly broke in, anyone would arrest the person first. The second son of the Cui family was cunning and the third son had a hot temper. If it were them, they would just send someone to arrest her immediately without asking the reason.
