In the dim light, Wang Xi's gaze was sharp, as if he could see through all her pretenses.
"Li Susu, something's on your mind."
Wang Xi's tone was firm and left no room for doubt.
Li Susu bit her lip, wanting to speak, but not knowing what to say.
She didn't know how to explain Fu Xingzhou's situation to Wang Xi.
They say she's going to die for a man she's still married to?
She was afraid Wang Xi would scold her for being useless.
Li Susu shook her head and ultimately said nothing.
She simply picked up her glass again and drank the rest of the wine in one gulp.
Wang Xi sighed inwardly as he looked at her like this.
If you can't get the information out of someone even after they've been drinking, then the hurt must be deep-seated.
Although Wang Xi felt sorry for him, he didn't know the whole story and couldn't offer any words of comfort.
She patted Li Susu on the shoulder, her tone cheerful.
"Now that we're in this happy place, let's not think about things that make us unhappy."
"Come on, let's drink!"
Wang Xi walked to the wine cabinet and took out a bottle of his treasured red wine.
"This is my treasure, you're getting a good deal today!"
She skillfully opened the wine bottle and poured a glass for Li Susu.
Li Susu took the wine glass, but did not drink it immediately.
She stared at the crimson liquid in the glass, her eyes somewhat dazed.
Seeing this, Wang Xi picked up his wine glass and clinked it against hers.
"Don't overthink it, cheers!"
Li Susu forced a smile, clinked glasses with Wang Xi, and then drank the wine in one gulp.
One cup after another, the two drank quite a bit of the expensive wine that Wang Xi had stored here.
Li Susu's cheeks grew redder and redder, and her eyes became increasingly unfocused.
She felt light as a feather, as if she were about to fly.
The music in the bar grew louder and louder, until it was deafening.
Li Susu's body swayed involuntarily to the rhythm of the music.
She felt as if she were floating in a vast ocean, unable to find her direction or the shore.
Only the numbing effect of alcohol allowed her to temporarily forget all her troubles and pain.
A male waiter carried a bottle of wine into the private room.
Wang Xi looked at the bottle of wine and frowned slightly.
She didn't order this bottle.
The male waiter walked to the table with a fawning smile on his face.
"Ladies, this is a special gift from our boss. He said that Miss Li was not satisfied with today's hospitality, so this is just a small token of his appreciation. Please don't find it offensive."
Wang Xi raised an eyebrow, pondering to himself.
This boss certainly knows how to do business.
"Heh, your boss is pretty kind."
Wang Xi laughed loudly and waved his hand generously.
"Open it. Since it's the boss's gift, we have to try it no matter what."
The male waiter opened the bottle of wine with practiced ease.
He sat down next to Li Susu, leaning slightly closer to her.
A faint scent of cologne wafted over.
Wang Xi observed all of this calmly, a knowing smile playing on his lips.
The male waiter poured wine for Li Susu with great enthusiasm, a subtle glint in his eyes.
"Miss Li, please."
With her eyes glazed over from the alcohol, Li Susu gently pushed away the wine glass that was offered to her.
"I...I can't drink anymore..."
Her voice was soft and sweet, with a hint of intoxication.
The male waiter insisted on pouring her wine, his hands moving without pausing for a moment.
"Miss Li, this wine is the best in our shop, please have a sip."
As he spoke, he poured the wine into Li Susu's glass.
The aroma of wine filled the private room.
