Yun Duo and Li Bingchen quickly exchanged glances, and then Yun Duo smiled and said to Lisa, "Thank you, Lisa. Li Bingchen and I were just discussing whether we could have a little wine. Is that alright?"
She paused, made a 'troubled' look, and looked at Lisa before continuing, "The adults all say we're too young and won't let us drink, but we're clearly not young anymore, we're not three-year-olds, what's the big deal about drinking a little alcohol?"
Before Lisa could speak, Henry, who was not far from them, had his eyes light up: "Cloud, you're absolutely right. We're not three-year-olds who can't even drink alcohol. I'll go to Dad's liquor cabinet and get a bottle of good wine."
“Brother!” Lisa clearly disagreed, her brows furrowing. “Mom will be angry. We’re not old enough to drink alcohol yet.”
Upon hearing Lisa's words, Yun Duo deliberately showed her 'regret': "Ah? We can't drink alcohol? That's such a shame... Okay, since Lisa says we can't drink alcohol, then let's forget about it and just drink soft drinks... But, can't we really drink any at all? I really want to try some."
“You’ll get drunk, and that will cause trouble for Lisa and the others. We’re here as guests. When we get back to China, I’ll treat you to drinks. Even if you get drunk, it’s okay. You’re just at home; you can just sleep it off. Drinking now is too much trouble for Lisa and the others,” Li Bingchen deliberately 'persuaded' from the side.
"Okay... then forget it..." Yun Duo nodded with a look of 'regret'.
Henry, however, was unwilling to let it go so easily. He had been wanting to drink for a long time, and now that he finally had the 'opportunity,' he was determined not to let it slip by.
“Lisa, Cloud is our guest. Dad told us before that we should take good care of her. She is the daughter of Dad’s good friend, which means she is our good friend too. Let her drink if she wants. It’s not like she drinks every day. We’ll just have a little bit, just a taste. Mom won’t know.”
Yun Duo nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, we won't drink too much, I'll just have a little bit."
Lisa looked at Henry, then at Yunduo's expectant face, and even the little prince from the East had an expression that said no but was eager to try it.
Children are all pretty much the same; they can't help but want to try things that adults forbid them from doing.
Besides... the little prince is so handsome! I definitely don't want to disappoint him!
“Okay, then go get it, brother.” Lisa relented, but couldn’t help but remind him, “But brother, you can’t take whiskey. You can only take low-alcohol wine. Otherwise, I’ll tell Mom.”
It's good that I can drink alcohol.
This makes him appear more masculine.
So Henry didn't intend to argue with his sister about this matter. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know. I'll just take the wine that Uncle Booker gave to Dad last time. He said that even children can drink a little of that wine."
Lisa nodded and said, "Okay, we'll take the wine Uncle Booker gave us." Then, she looked at Yun Duo and Li Bingchen (mainly Li Bingchen) and explained, "Uncle Booker's winery is the best winery here. His wines are famous throughout the Federation, and even the President has praised them."
