Jason never expected An Ci to confront him in public, and he was choked to the point of being unable to breathe.
His expression froze for a moment, and he forced a faint smile. "I'm sorry, I'm just curious. I hope Young Master An won't take it as an offense."
Fortunately, at this time, the waiter came in and served the food.
"Everyone must be hungry after playing all day, let's eat." An Yiyao stood up and said, "The food here is pretty good, Xiaoci, you should eat more."
An Ci leaned against the sofa and replied lazily, "Okay."
The dishes were served soon, and everyone stood up and walked over to take their seats. An Ci walked behind, and her eyes glanced at the person who was half a step behind her, and the corner of her lips curled down.
Let it be a cold war.
Who is afraid of whom.
Seeing An Ci coming over, Cui Mingzhu wanted to ask her to come and sit down, but she just pulled out the chair next to Eric and sat down.
She had to swallow back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
"Do you mind if I sit here?" An Siyu looked at Cui Mingzhu.
Cui Mingzhu smiled and shook her head, "Of course."
Eric leaned over and whispered in An Ci's ear, "How about I switch places with you?"
On his left is An Ci, and on his right is Shen Mo. He has no interest in being a sandwich.
As the saying goes, when gods fight, mortals suffer, so he'd better stay away.
An Ci picked up the cup and drank tea, "No."
Eric curled his lips and said, "Let them do whatever they want. I don't care."
At this time, a waiter came over with the wine.
An Yiyao said gently, "This wine is called Drunken Peach Blossom. It's brewed by the resort itself. It's very low in alcohol. You guys should try it."
The waiter walked around the table, pouring drinks for everyone.
A faint aroma of wine wafted over, with a hint of indescribable floral fragrance, a bit like fruity fragrance, and surprisingly pleasant.
An Ci looked at the peach-colored liquid in the cup and couldn't help but think of the last time he blacked out due to drunkenness. The eagerness in his heart was instantly extinguished.
So, others drank wine while she ate vegetables.
Among the people at the table, she was the only one immersed in the world of eating.
"puff."
Anyang couldn't help laughing, "Xiao Ci, how long have you been hungry?"
"It's a free meal, but you can't eat too much." An Ci replied lazily.
The next moment, a small plate filled with crab meat landed in front of her.
Her hands are as slender as jade and look like works of art.
You know who it is without even looking.
The anger that had been stuck in An Ci's heart suddenly dissipated, his peach blossom eyes slightly curved, but in just a few seconds, they returned to normal.
"Xiao Ci, you can't eat anymore, right? Then I'll help you." Eric rubbed his hands secretly and stretched out his hand.
An Ci moved the small plate in front of him as if protecting his food, glanced at Eric, and said, "Mine."
Shen Mo wiped his hands and his brows moved slightly when he heard this.
If there weren't so many people here, Eric would definitely scold her: What a courage! She can be coaxed into submission by a plate of crab meat.
Eric had seen this kind of scene many times since he was a child and was no longer surprised by it.
In comparison, everyone else had a look of shock on their faces.
Cui Mingzhu blinked and asked curiously, "An Ci, are you two familiar with each other?"
If she remembered correctly, the An family and the Custer family did not have a good relationship.
Eric answered for her, "Her brother."
Cui Mingzhu was surprised, "Brother?"
Noticing everyone's gazes, An Ci nodded and continued to eat the crab meat.
Jason glanced at Shen Mo, then at An Ci, a sinister cold light flashing in his eyes.
Shen Mo, it turns out you also have weaknesses.
Now things seem to become more interesting.
Because of Shen Mo's initiative to make peace, An Ci's mood improved, and his appetite also improved. He ate too much without realizing it.
Feeling a little uncomfortable, she stood up and said, "You guys chat, I'm going to go for a walk."
Cui Mingzhu immediately responded, "I'll go with you."
An unignorable gaze swept over, and An Ci coughed dryly, "No need, I..."
Before she could finish, Shen Mo suddenly stood up and said, "I have something to discuss with her."
After saying that, he walked over and pulled An Ci out of the box.
I don’t know if it was Cui Mingzhu’s illusion, but she always felt that this man named Shen Mo was hostile to her.
She looked at Eric and asked, "Is that man really An Ci's brother?"
Eric nodded and added, "They are childhood friends."
…
The night is as cool as water, and the air is filled with the faint fragrance of flowers.
An Ci looked at the unfamiliar environment without panicking. He leaned against a sturdy tree and glanced at him. "Aren't we going to talk? What are we going to talk about?"
Shen Mo said, "Cui Mingzhu."
"Cui Mingzhu?"
He had a blank expression on his face, but An Ci still sensed his displeasure.
This isn't over yet, is it?
An Ci frowned, "Brother, is there something wrong?"
Shen Mo's face became even colder, "Who is your elder brother?"
An Ci laughed, "Okay, if you want to talk about this, then first tell me what you did yesterday and how you got injured."
Shen Mo thought for a moment, then uttered two words in a low voice, "Revenge."
An Ci was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized what he meant. Her expression warmed up a little, "Someone from the Custer family?"
Shen Mo nodded.
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier? I could go with you." An Ci snorted, crossing his arms across his chest, "Or do you think I'll hold you back?"
Shen Mo looked at him steadily and said, "I promised Grandpa An that I would protect you."
It would have been fine if his hands were covered in blood, but he couldn't drag his cub into the darkness.
"Don't use my grandfather as a shield." An Ci kicked the tip of his shoe and said angrily, "If you don't take me with you next time, don't come to me to apply medicine for you."
The corners of Shen Mo's lips curled up slightly, but then she thought of Cui Mingzhu kissing her, and her face darkened again.
"Explain Cui Mingzhu's matter."
Why did we end up back here after going around in circles?
An Ci rubbed his brows, thinking of the word "revenge" he had just said and the injuries on his body, his heart softened.
She turned her face away and muttered, "What's there to explain? She came up to me suddenly and I didn't have time to dodge."
Shen Mo's expression was still very bad. "You really don't like her?"
An Ci frowned and looked at him with her peach blossom eyes, a little strange, "No, why do you keep harping on this question?"
After a pause, she narrowed her eyes and asked, "Could it be that you like Cui Mingzhu?"
After he finished speaking, Shen Mo's expression became visibly colder. An Ci looked puzzled, "If you don't like it, then you don't like it. Why are you glaring at me?"
How had she provoked him?
Shen Mo asked again, "If you don't like her, who do you like?"
The sudden question made her laugh, and An Ci said with a smile, "My mom doesn't even ask this, why are you so curious?"
Shen Mo took a step forward, "Who do you like?"
"There are so many things I like." An Ci raised his eyebrows, a lazy smile on his lips, "For example, my grandparents, my parents, my sister, my grandfather, and..."
She talked incessantly, as if she wanted to recite the entire family.
Shen Mo interrupted her, "It's not this kind of love."
