No, Nangong Zhongli steadied her emotions with a hand supporting her forehead.
She couldn’t panic; this was just Xia Xiaonuan deliberately trying to scare her.
No matter what, she was the sister the Crown Prince had always doted on.
How could anything really happen to her? Besides, her plan this ti had been flawless.
Xia Xiaonuan slowly turned and looked at Nangong Zhongli’s expression.
A cold smile played at the corner of her lips.
"I’ve said all I needed to say. Zhongli, handle the rest yourself." With that, Xia Xiaonuan turned and walked outside.
Nangong Zhongli suddenly called her back.
"Xia Xiaonuan, I underestimated you. You’re a bit smarter and more ruthless than I thought. But don’t forget, Shaochen is still in my hands. If I let my brother know about your sweet past with Nan Mo, do you think he’ll spare your Nan Mo?"
Xia Xiaonuan clenched her fist hard.
Smiling, she turned around.
"Then just as well, I haven’t figured out how to tell the Young Master that the person he’s always cherished is . If he knows this, it will only deepen our relationship. As for others, what do they have to do with us?"
As she spoke, she watched as cracks began to appear in the smile on Nangong Zhongli’s face.
"Xia Qiqi, you truly are vicious! How could Nan Mo fall in love with such a cold-blooded woman as you!"
Xia Xiaonuan shrugged: "You should ask him that." With that, she turned around without hesitation and walked back to her seat.
Although she maintained a smile on the surface when turning around, she felt her hands and feet were ice cold.
Originally, she hadn’t intended to say these things to Nangong Zhongli, but she hadn’t expected her to use even Shaochen as a threat.
She couldn’t let Nangong Zhongli harm Shaochen, so now all she could do was clarify her relationship with him as much as possible.
Looking at the two n in front of her, Xia Xiaonuan shook her head bitterly.
"Liang Shaochen, I, Nangong Yaoling, have never lost to anyone in my life! Do you think, with just your drinking capacity, you dare compete with !" Nangong Yaoling seed a bit tipsy, holding up his wine glass and shouting loudly at Liang Shaochen opposite him.
"Ha! That may not be the case... If it were another drink, I might not be able to match you... But this Absolut is my favorite, do you know how many years I’ve been drinking it? You... you still want to compete with !"
Liang Shaochen said, lifting his head to down the drink in his glass.
Nangong Yaoling, not to be outdone, also lifted his head and downed his drink.
Xia Xiaonuan quickly stepped forward, looked at the pile of wine bottles on the table, and helplessly said: "Both of you, stop drinking!"
But no one listened to her.
Nangong Yaoling poured wine for Liang Shaochen while reaching over to pull Xiaonuan into his arms, looking at Liang Shaochen and saying: "So what if you’ve been drinking longer? Unfortunately... you can’t appreciate wine like I do! A good bottle needs soone who knows how to savor it."
As he spoke, he poured himself so wine and lifted it.
His gaze turned to Xiaonuan: "Xiaonuan, don’t you agree?"
Xia Xiaonuan looked at Nangong Yaoling’s shining eyes; both of them were drink-flushed, and if they continued, they might end up coughing blood!
Liang Shaochen glanced at Xia Xiaonuan, smiling: "So what? It’s still uncertain who will win and who will lose in the end."
As he spoke, he lifted his head to down the drink in his glass.
"Shaochen..." Xia Xiaonuan looked at him helplessly, and Nangong Yaoling pulled her into his embrace.
"Xiaonuan... I’m definitely better at drinking than he is! Do... do you believe ?" As he spoke, he lifted his head again, about to drink the contents of his glass.
