Chapter 171 Waiting for You



Chu Wuyang, dressed in a moon-white dress in the same color scheme as Yun Yang, slowly walked to Yun Yang's side.

Her brows were slightly furrowed, and her eyes revealed a clear sense of worry, which contrasted sharply with Yun Yang's relaxed demeanor.

Yunyang gently swirled the wine in her glass, the red wine reflecting a captivating luster under the light.

A slight upturn at the corners of her lips revealed a confident smile.

Chu Wuyang looked at Yun Yang and said in a calm but anxious tone:

"I've changed into clothes similar to yours as you requested. What are your next steps?"

Yun Yang smiled and handed her a glass of wine, her eyes revealing confidence, and slowly uttered a single word:

"wait!"

Chu Wuyang took the wine glass, took a sip absentmindedly, but her gaze involuntarily drifted towards Jing Min not far away.

Jing Min stood tall and straight in the crowd, a polite smile on his handsome face.

People kept offering him drinks, and he never refused.

He took the glass and drank it all in one gulp, his movements graceful and effortless, showing no signs of being drunk.

Chu Wuyang frowned, hesitated, and said:

“He seems to have a high alcohol tolerance, so waiting like this isn’t a solution.”

Upon hearing this, Yun Yang turned to look at her, raised an eyebrow, and spoke with a hint of teasing:

Therefore, we need to rely on external forces.

As she spoke, she took out a delicate little bottle from her bosom.

It waved in front of Chu Wuyang.

Then, right in front of her, he poured the contents of the bottle directly into the wine.

Chu Wuyang's expression changed drastically. Her eyes widened, and she blurted out:

"No, that won't be his true feeling... Even if I'm wearing the same clothes as you, he'll still recognize me, it won't work."

Yun Yang remained calm. She looked at Chu Wuyang with a meaningful look in her eyes and said softly:

"This wine has hallucinogenic effects; it will make him imagine himself as the person he most desires."

Don't you want to know if he truly loves me?

"You can take this opportunity to verify it yourself,"

"If it stops halfway, I'll be out of luck. But if it succeeds, you can face reality and get out of there sooner, isn't that better?"

Chu Wuyang bit his lower lip, recalling the day he was poisoned by snake venom, when he was calling out Yun Yang's name.

My heart was filled with mixed feelings.

Looking at the glass of wine in Yun Yang's hand, which already contained the contents of the small bottle, his fingers unconsciously tightened.

I was caught in a fierce internal struggle.

She didn't want to test Jingmin in this way, but she also wanted to know Jingmin's true feelings.

In the end, she didn't stop Yun Yang; she simply turned her head away silently.

Seeing that Chu Wuyang no longer objected, Yun Yang smiled triumphantly.

She picked up two bottles of wine, a resolute glint in her eyes, and walked straight toward Jing Min.

Her steps were light yet firm, and she wore a confident smile, as if victory was already in her grasp.

Jing Min was talking to someone when he saw Yun Yang approaching.

He paused for a moment, then smiled politely and nodded.

Chu Wuyang stood to the side, his gaze fixed on Yun Yang and Jing Min not far away.

Yun Yang gracefully held two glasses of wine in both hands, a sweet smile on her face.

She gently handed over a cup, her lips slightly parted, as if she were saying something to Jing Min.

Jing Min stared at the glass of wine with a calm expression, not immediately reaching out to take it. His thin lips were slightly pursed, as if he hesitated for a moment.

Seeing this, Yun Yang tilted her head slightly, leaned closer, and spoke softly, her eyes revealing a hint of expectation and determination.

This time, Jingmin finally raised his hand and naturally accepted the wine glass.

Chu Wuyang subconsciously tightened her grip on the wine glass in her hand.

Her body involuntarily moved slowly towards the two of them.

As if sensing something, Jing Min's keen peripheral vision instantly caught sight of her figure.

Just as Chu Wuyang saw Jing Min casually place his wine glass on a passing waiter's tray upon seeing her arrival,

Her previously tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and she let out a long sigh of relief.

Even she herself didn't notice the slight upward curve of the corners of her mouth.

When Jingmin saw the obviously more conservative dress she had changed into, a look of satisfaction unconsciously appeared in his eyes.

With a slight upturn of the corners of his mouth, he said softly:

"Why did you take so long? I was just thinking of going to look for you."

Chu Wuyang slightly turned her head and glanced at Yun Yang standing opposite her.

A subtle, complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

Then, she said angrily to Jingmin:

"Why didn't he come? Perhaps he was held up by a beautiful woman!"

Jingmin was amused by her appearance and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

He then leaned closer to Chu Wuyang, his warm breath brushing against her ear, and whispered:

"Don't wrong me! She was trying to offer me a toast, but I wasn't planning on drinking it and was thinking of declining!"

"Thank goodness you came."

Chu Wuyang looked at him with a puzzled expression, before she could even ask a question,

Then Jingmin naturally took the glass of wine from her hand, the one she had already taken two sips of.

Then he turned to face Yun Yang, a polite but distant smile on his face, and said loudly:

"Thank you for the honor, Miss Yun. If my wife needs equestrian instruction in the future, please don't refuse. This toast is for you."

After saying this, he tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.

"We apologize for any inconvenience. Miss Yun, you've had a wonderful time. Please make yourself at home."

After saying that, she gently took Chu Wuyang's hand without further ado and strode away.

Chu Wuyang was somewhat bewildered by his series of actions and was still out of the loop.

A pang of regret welled up inside her, realizing she had so hastily disrupted Yunyang's plans.
