"Oh! It's a cellar-aged red wine! Oh! It's from 1982, what a fine wine! I can share it with you later. Do you dare to drink until you're drunk?"
Wu Meng smiled. Yes, he smiled. It seemed that the gift was to his liking.
The heavy burden in Qing Ke's heart finally dropped. Her frown instantly relaxed. She smiled and replied to Wu Meng, "What's there to be afraid of? I'm afraid of no one. I'm just afraid that you can't get me drunk."
After hearing this, Wu Meng laughed out loud.
"Okay, that's straightforward enough. I, Wu Meng, will risk my life to accompany this beautiful woman tonight. Let's go, they're all waiting! Let's go in first."
Without waiting for Qingke to react, Wu Meng took her hand and led her towards the golden hall at night.
Qing Ke followed Wu Meng obediently like a little girlfriend and went to the private room with him.
The moment Wu Meng pushed open the door, a noisy sound came towards him. Qing Ke subconsciously frowned. Obviously, this atmosphere made her feel very uncomfortable.
When the people in the room saw Qing Ke and Wu Meng, they stopped what they were doing and turned their eyes to Wu Meng and Qing Ke.
"Come on! Come in! These are my good brothers."
Qing Ke's feet felt heavy. She originally thought that this was a world for the two of her and Wu Meng, but she didn't expect there were so many people. What's worse, the room was luxurious and extravagant, full of noise and pungent smell of alcohol. She didn't like such a scene.
Pulled by Wu Meng, she followed him into the private room.
"Brother Meng, who is this? Oh! I remember now, it's my new sister-in-law! Come on, sister-in-law, sit here."
Nan Shao gave up the seat next to him and let Qing Ke sit over there.
Everyone turned their gaze towards Qing Ke, who lowered her head shyly. The women, on the other hand, looked at her with disdain, their faces filled with hostility.
"Hey! Sister-in-law, do you want me to call a dashing prince to accompany you?" Another man said to Qingke with a grin.
prince?
Qing Ke was a little confused. What prince? She had never been to such an occasion before and obviously didn't know the rules here.
She raised her head and looked at Wu Meng, who was standing beside her and had not yet had time to sit down on the sofa.
"I have food and drink, but you still can't shut up? No one dares to touch my woman, Wu Meng. Even if the real prince comes, I will beat him to a pulp."
"Hey! Brother Meng, is there a clue to this? You're still protecting your kid!"
Wu Meng grabbed an apple from the table and threw it at the man fiercely, "Don't you want to live anymore? If you dare to say something nonsense to me again, I will tear your mouth apart."
There was some anger in Wu Meng's voice, but it didn't seem like he was really angry, but rather like he was joking.
The man who was scolded by Wu Meng was not angry at all. He jumped to avoid the apple thrown by Wu Meng and laughed out loud.
Nan Shao stepped in to smooth things over. "Alright, stop joking with Brother Meng. After all, he's the birthday boy today, and everything should be done to make him happy. Come, let's all say hello to our future sister-in-law."
Led by Nan Shao, everyone called Qing Ke "sister-in-law" in unison.
Qing Ke smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to respond.
"Okay, just do what you should do." Wu Meng responded on behalf of Qingke.
Upon hearing the noise, those people all started drinking, singing and being affectionate again.
Qing Ke could only get used to such scenes and turn a blind eye.
"Come, have a drink!"
Wu Meng held a glass of wine and handed it to Qing Ke.
Qing Ke took the wine glass, and the two of them clinked their glasses and drank it all in tacit understanding.
The two looked at each other lovingly. Although there was a lot of noise around them, they both seemed to be oblivious to the surroundings. They only had each other in their eyes and could not hear any sound from the outside world at all.
"Coco, how about we sing a song together?"
"sure!"
"What do you want to sing?"
"Whatever! I can sing most popular songs, so don't be too accommodating."
Speaking of singing, Qing Ke was good at it. Before she met Wencai, she had nothing to do on weekdays, so she would just listen to songs and sing along. Over time, she had learned all the popular songs without even realizing it.
She was not tone-deaf, and with her oriole-like voice, singing naturally became her hobby. Wherever she went, she was greeted with praise and applause.
Wu Meng stood up and snatched the microphone from Nan Shao and a hostess.
Young Master Nan was not happy about this. After all, there was a woman next to him, and he couldn't be too cowardly.
"Brother Meng, what are you doing? I'm singing!" Nan Shao muttered unhappily, and tried to come over to grab the microphone from Wu Meng's hand.
Wu Meng turned his hand and used his arm to push Nan Shao aside. "Go away! Don't ruin my chance! This is my best chance to win the bet. If you ruin it, I'll skin you alive."
