After hearing Shen Huai'an's explanation, Lin Wanxing was somewhat embarrassed and at a loss for words.
Looking at his adorable face, Shen Huai'an couldn't help but laugh. A child will be a child; he reacts like this just from being teased.
"Xingxing, alright, Second Brother has something to do, so I'll be leaving now."
Seeing that Shen Huai'an was about to leave, Lin Wanxing's heart finally slowly calmed down, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
He overreacted just now, and his expression was very unnatural. Shen Huai'an walked to the door and then glanced at Lin Wanxing, "Xingxing, if you feel unwell, you must tell your second brother."
Hearing her second brother's words of concern, Lin Wanxing felt a mix of emotions.
The video Coco sent him really helped him understand a lot. He needs to be prepared next time he watches it, otherwise his image will be completely ruined if his second brother sees it.
Lin Wanxing lay in bed, waiting for the thing she had been looking forward to.
At dinner, the housekeeper, Chen, was unusually absent from the dining room, and neither was anyone else. There were very few people at the villa that afternoon.
Lin Wanxing was initially worried that with Butler Chen around, things wouldn't go smoothly for him today, but he didn't expect that he and his second brother would be alone today, which was truly a stroke of luck.
Lin Wanxing stared at the red wine in the decanter on the table, holding the small object in his hand, hesitant to make a move.
Coco said that as long as it's put in the wine, Second Brother won't doubt him.
His eyes were fixed on the red wine, and he began to plan how to put something into it later.
At this moment, Shen Huai'an walked over step by step, leaning on his cane. He was quite surprised to see Lin Wanxing sitting at the dining table. "Why did you come down so early today?"
Normally, Shen Huai'an would only ask someone to call Lin Wanxing downstairs for dinner after he had sat down and seen that all the dishes had been accurately served.
Lin Wanxing had already sat down at the dining table early today, so seeing him was a bit of a surprise.
"I was a little hungry today, so I came down."
Lin Wanxing held the small object in his hand, his head bowed guiltily. He didn't know how to face his second brother; what he had done was completely unworthy of such a good brother.
Shen Huai'an glanced at the wine in the decanter, then slowly poured himself a glass. His gaze swept over Lin Wanxing's face, and he smiled slightly, "I'm in a good mood today and want to drink a little more."
Lin Wanxing wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt that his second brother was a little different today.
Suddenly, the phone on the table rang. Shen Huai'an frowned and glanced at the phone, then picked it up and said to Lin Wanxing with a smile, "Xingxing, you're hungry, eat first. Your second brother will take this call first."
Shen Huai'an walked away with his phone. Lin Wanxing watched his second brother walk away and seized the opportunity. While his second brother was on the phone, he put the small thing in his hand into Shen Huai'an's wine glass without hesitation.
The white substance instantly melted into the wine, and Lin Wanxing, just to be on the safe side, got up and swirled the wine glass again.
He did all these things very smoothly, as if everything was preordained and God was helping him.
After Lin Wanxing finished doing all this, he felt his whole body trembling, and his hand holding the chopsticks was shaking.
Shen Huai'an glanced at his phone screen, stood still for a short while, then turned around and sat back down at the dining table.
Shen Huai'an put down his phone and sat down, his eyes filled with tenderness as he asked Lin Wanxing, "Was the food good today?"
Lin Wanxing chewed the food in his mouth, but couldn't taste anything at all. He nodded blankly.
Shen Huai'an smiled casually as he picked up a glass of red wine. He stared straight at Lin Wanxing, swirling the wine in his hand. Under the crystal chandelier, the wine emitted a faint glow, its color a unique, translucent red.
He raised his glass and took a sip. Lin Wanxing watched as he took a sip and then took another.
Shen Huai'an put down his wine glass and looked at Lin Wanxing, saying, "I feel like the wine is a little different today."
In an instant, Lin Wanxing's heart jumped into his throat. His eyes immediately welled up with tears, and he gripped the chopsticks tightly in his hand. Had his second brother discovered that there was something wrong with the wine?
He immediately held his breath, and his mind began to wander uncontrollably, imagining his second brother finding out everything, hating him, and then driving him away.
Lin Wanxing bit his lip hard; at that moment, he began to regret it.
If my second brother found out about the dirty things I've done, and the wicked thoughts I had when I painted last time, how could I possibly have the face to stay here? I've not only tarnished the art in my second brother's eyes.
He even tarnished his pure feelings for her. Her second brother took such good care of her out of pity, yet she was doing this kind of thing. He was simply repaying kindness with enmity and had failed her second brother's kindness.
Lin Wanxing imagined countless possible outcomes for his final fate.
But when Shen Huai'an saw his expression of almost crying from fright, he found it even more amusing. He liked the little fool's face; every emotion he felt was influenced by him.
He is the one in control behind the little fool; everything he owns belongs to him, and he will always do things according to his own ideas.
Shen Huai'an smiled and said, "I think the wine tastes exceptionally good today."
Lin Wanxing was about to cry and apologize, ready to confess everything, but his second brother's words immediately stopped him from crying.
He took a deep breath and asked in astonishment, "Second Brother, what did you say?"
Shen Huai'an adjusted his glasses and said calmly, "I said the red wine is very good."
He suddenly tilted his head back and downed the entire glass of red wine in one gulp. Lin Wanxing was stunned by how quickly he drank it.
My second brother never used to drink red wine like this; he would savor the taste of red wine elegantly.
Shen Huai'an licked his lips, his eyes slowly becoming somewhat unfocused. "I don't know why, but today's wine is particularly memorable; I want to drink more after I've finished it."
Shen Huai'an's face slowly flushed red. He looked at Lin Wanxing and smiled in a special way. The smile was different from usual, exuding a kind of charming danger.
Seeing his unusual behavior, Lin Wanxing knew that the drug was taking effect.
Shen Huai'an couldn't help but drink another glass of wine. He irritably ripped open the collar of his shirt, and the collar opened.
He shook his head, trying to clear his mind. His prominent Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and his mouth became increasingly dry.
Shen Huai'an said in an extremely low and hoarse voice, "I think I'm a little hot too. Xingxing, I'm sorry, I seem to have lost my composure."
Even under the combined influence of alcohol and drugs, he was able to maintain the most basic etiquette of a gentleman.
Lin Wanxing looked at him, knowing that this wasn't her second brother's fault.
Lin Wanxing would obediently do as Coco said. He slowly stood up and walked to Shen Huai'an's side. "Second brother, let me help you back to your room to rest."
Lin Wanxing was prepared; he was no longer afraid.
