Lunch is a buffet with all kinds of food from all over the world, both Chinese and Western styles can be found.
Xue Pan and several older members of the team went to find a seat first, while the other young people went to get their meals.
Just after everyone came back with their food and sat down at the long table, Xue Ziqi ran over like a gust of wind, holding a bottle of Xue Pan's favorite wine, no one knew where he got it from.
Xue Pan scolded her lightly: "We came out to do business, why are you drinking?"
"Grandpa," Xue Ziqi said coquettishly to the old man, "You've been so happy these past few days, how could you be without wine? I had someone buy this from Chinatown at a high price. Let's all have a sip, it's a celebration in advance! Even if we don't win the prize in the end, our paintings have been reviewed so well this time, so this trip wasn't in vain!"
As Xue Ziqi spoke, he placed the paper cups in his hand in front of everyone one by one.
Seeing that the usually arrogant eldest lady had taken action herself, everyone felt reluctant to refuse her kindness and came to support her.
"Alright, just do it for your own good. We still have paintings to look at in the afternoon. This is your chance to study hard, so don't get drunk." Xue Pan warned.
"I understand, Grandpa. It's just a small amount of wine, so we can just share half a cup. It's just for the sake of celebration."
Xue Ziqi obediently handed him the glass of wine and poured it for everyone one by one.
When it was Wen Xi's turn, Xue Ziqi was particularly considerate and said, "We are girls, we dare not compete with those men, so let's just drink the bottom of the glass as a token of our appreciation."
As he said this, he actually only poured a little into Wen Xi's cup, without any intention of making things difficult for her by getting her drunk.
Wen Xi narrowed his eyes and smiled without saying anything.
Wait and see her act like a demon.
Someone who shows kindness to me without any reason is either a traitor or a thief. For him to be so gentle and considerate to me all of a sudden is like the sun rising from the west. It is impossible that there is no situation.
After Xue Ziqi poured Wen Xi some wine, he sat down and poured a little into his own glass. Then he looked at Wen Xi and said sincerely, "Wen Xi, regarding the picture book incident, I was young and ignorant and was taken advantage of. And Brother Ting Yan... I've figured it out lately. Nothing can be forced. After this meal, let's put aside our grudges and laugh it off."
Xue Ziqi said this, picked up the wine glass, and clinked it with the glass in Wen Xi's hand.
Seeing that Wenxi had no intention of toasting with her, Xue Ziqi frowned with a sad expression: "Why, you still won't forgive me for the reckless things I did before?"
"It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning." Wen Xi said indifferently.
"I knew you weren't a stingy person." Xue Ziqi said with a smile, "Then let's drink this glass of wine and get along with each other from now on."
"Forget about the wine. I'm drunk and my face turns red like a monkey's butt. It makes everyone laugh at me."
"You won't even give me a sliver of face? Or are you afraid I've tampered with this wine?" Xue Ziqi looked aggrieved. "I know I've done some bad things to you in the past, but we're all human. I've changed, so can't you truly forgive me? Besides, how could I possibly have tampered with this wine in front of so many people? This wine is freshly opened..."
Yes, there was indeed nothing tampered with the wine, but as for the cup, it’s hard to say, Wen Xi thought to himself.
From the moment Xue Ziqi placed the cup in front of her, Xiaoba in her bag kept moving.
Xiao Ba is the smartest one. If there is no problem, he will definitely take a nap. Why would he be so restless?
