After a brief handover, Qiu Jiangyu took his men away, leaving only a word of "be careful" to Zhen Mozhao before leaving.
Zhen Mozhao pondered the word "be careful" and returned to his private room. After sending a message to Baili Xiyao, he called the waiter to order another glass of the same wine he had drunk before.
Mu Shaojin had already called Zuo Linyu and went to the door to welcome someone in.
After the three of them gathered together, even someone as bold as Zuo Linyu felt that something was amiss with today's events. "Brother Zhao, why do I always feel like there's something wrong with what happened today?"
"I also feel that something is not right," Mu Shaojin agreed.
"This might be a trap set up by someone to lure us here, but we still don't know what they're trying to do." Zhen Mozhao drank a whole glass of fruit wine, his cheeks slightly red, but it wasn't noticeable under the light, and his mind was clear, so Mu Shaojin and Zuo Linyu didn't notice anything unusual. "Whatever they want to do, we all need to be alert from now on."
"Well, but this is the first time that the mission assigned to us is in the imperial capital," Zuo Linyu responded and then muttered.
They always felt that there was an invisible hand pushing them, but intuitively, apart from the uneasiness about the unknown, they did not feel threatened.
This is what Zhen Mozhao finds most strange.
"The Baili family birthday party is about to start, A'Zhao, why don't you hurry up and head over?"
When talking about this, Zhen Mozhao was still a little nervous. Although he was still somewhat confident in himself, those were Xixi's parents and family after all. What if they didn't agree with him and Xixi being together?
How about we meet next time when we are more fully prepared?
Before Zhen Mozhao could think about it, Baili Xiyao appeared at the door of the box. She was wearing a loose white suit and high heels, looking very capable.
Zhen Mozhao, who was a little drunk, thought he was hallucinating at first. He shook his head and saw that the person was still there. He smiled and greeted him, "Xixi~ You are here."
Baili Xiyao had come to pick up his beloved to attend the banquet with a smile on his face, but when he walked towards him, he immediately noticed the torn sleeve and quickly stepped forward to pull his arm to check, "Are you hurt?"
"No, it's just my clothes that are torn." He buried his head in Baili Xiyao's shoulder and rubbed it, his tone soft and obedient.
There was a faint orange scent with a hint of alcohol. "Have you been drinking?" He asked while carefully checking Zhen Mozhao again. He was relieved only after confirming that he was not injured.
Baili Xiyao remembered that this guy seemed to have a history of alcohol allergy, so why did he drink?
"Well, a little bit," he said, his head still buried, pointing his slender fingers at the table.
One of the glasses was already empty. Baili Xiyao led his men over, bent down, picked up the glass, and brought it under his nose to smell it.
Fruit wine? The lowest-proof kind? Could this make you drunk?
But... this wine smells pretty good, a bit like the smell of my own baby.
"I'm not drunk"
Suddenly, Zhen Mozhao raised his head and looked at Baili Xiyao. His eyes were sparkling and his expression was clear, but his cheeks were rosy and his lips were moist, which was very attractive.
“Okay, not drunk.”
While coaxing people and greeting Mu Shaojin and the others, Baili Xiyao took Zhen Mozhao and left first.
After getting in the car, seeing the person being obedient and soft, Baili Xiyao sighed, helplessly remembering the box of clothes still in the trunk, took out his cell phone and called Xiao Rui, and ordered, "Prepare some hangover medicine for me."
While the vehicle was driving, Zhen Mozhao was very well-behaved. He leaned his head on Baili Xiyao's shoulder, closed his eyes and rested, with his thin lips slightly parted.
Baili Xiyao couldn't help himself, turned his head and kissed the person on the smooth forehead.
Then, the car slammed on the brakes and the driver quickly apologized, "Sorry, Mr. Yao, I wasn't paying attention to the road conditions." Oh my god, what did I see?! I hope I won't be silenced. I shouldn't have taken this job earlier...
Baili Xiyao took the man who was almost hit in the chest and hugged him. Then he looked at the driver coldly for a while before saying to him, "Be careful."
"Yes," the driver's heart felt like it was hanging on the edge of a cliff during those few minutes.
After sending them to the back door of Wuyou Hotel, Xiao Si was waiting there. When the car stopped, he opened the door for Baili Xiyao, then opened the trunk, took out the gifts and clothing boxes for the two, and led them directly to Baili Xiyao's exclusive lounge.
"Mr. Yao, your wife just came over and brought a dress, saying it was prepared for you. Please change into it before attending the banquet," Xiao Rui said after handing the hangover medicine to Baili Xiyao when he saw Baili Xiyao and Zhen Mozhao arrived.
"Yeah," Baili Xiyao responded, and placed Zhen Mozhao on the sofa. Then he walked to the side, took a glass of water and poured it for Zhen Mozhao. He took out two hangover pills from the medicine box and returned to Zhen Mozhao, "Take the medicine."
Zhen Mozhao nodded obediently, took the medicine and swallowed it, silently pushing the glass of water away, with some resistance.
This little action naturally could not be hidden from Baili Xiyao who had been staring at him.
This was not the first time Baili Xiyao had seen Zhen Mozhao resist drinking boiled water, but she still hadn't figured out the reason for his resistance.
After keeping this matter in his heart, Baili Xiyao did not expose him and asked Xiao Si to bring the clothes box over. "Baby, wash up and change. I will take you to meet my parents later."
The rosy complexion on Zhen Mozhao's face faded a lot. Upon hearing this, her eyelashes trembled, and she opened her thin lips and agreed, "Okay."
After the two of them washed up and changed into formal wear, when they saw Zhen Mozhao's noble appearance, Baili Xiyao suddenly didn't want to bring him to the party anymore.
The black hair was just casually scratched, giving it a kind of messy beauty.
Her face was fair, and her eyes still had some moisture from the steam after bathing, making her look a little innocent.
A straight nose and thin pink lips.
The slightly slim-fitting black suit perfectly showcases his tall posture, slender waist, and long, straight legs.
Coupled with his calm temperament, he looks like a delicate, noble and elegant young master.
While Baili Xiyao was looking at Zhen Mozhao, Zhen Mozhao was also looking at Baili Xiyao.
A strapless lavender dress with a tight waist that outlines a charming waist, and the high-slit skirt perfectly shows off her white and slender legs.
She tied her long hair low behind her head with a hairpin, revealing her slender neck and delicate collarbone.
She wore butterfly pearl earrings, had elegant makeup, and a pair of extremely cold phoenix eyes.
Only when looking at Zhen Mozhao, those phoenix eyes would be as gentle as water.
"Does it look good?" Baili Xiyao turned around in front of Zhen Mozhao and asked him with a smile.
Zhen Mozhao nodded, "Looks good." He seemed to think the word was perfunctory, but then he added, "Very good-looking!" It seemed a little revealing...
Baili Xiyao responded with a smile, "Baby is beautiful too." It's so beautiful that she wants to hide it and only show it to me.
Baili Xiyao, who was reluctant to let others miss his baby, changed his usual decisive character and became hesitant. Sometimes he said the collar was not done, sometimes he said the cufflinks were not done. Anyway, he dragged Zhen Mozhao and did not let him leave the lounge.
The longer you can delay, the better!
In the end, Baili Hanming came up personally to urge him, and Baili Xiyao reluctantly pulled people out of the lounge and headed to the banquet hall.
