Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Just then, Su Xiaonai’s phone rang. Unlocking it, Su Xiaonai saw that it was a voice message from Grandma Qi.

Su Xiaonai found it a little strange. What did the old lady have to say this late at night?

She picked up her phone, pressed it to her ear, and clicked on the voice message. A few seconds later, Su Xiaonai felt a little exasperated.

So the old lady was messaging her to promote her grandson Qi Lingyan.

Too bad she was not interested.

Su Xiaonai opened WeChat. She considered sending a voice message back, but then she realized she was in a bar.

She didn’t want to leave a bad impression, so she decided to type instead.

So she wouldn’t expose the kind of loud environment she was in.

Su Xiaonai thought for a while before she started typing, her fingers fast on the keyboard.

Su Xiaonai: Ma’am, Mr. Qi and I are really not compatible. He’s just not my type. Besides, I’ve got two children with me, so my standards are naturally a little higher.

Feeling confident that she had said what was true, she pressed “send” and locked her phone. Relaxing her mind, she enjoyed her time in the bar.

Meanwhile, coincidentally, Qi Lingyan was staying at the family manor today, watching TV with his grandmother. Suddenly, the old lady took a look at her phone.

Frowning, the old lady looked back up and glanced at Qi Lingyan.

Qi Lingyan felt a chill down his spine and a layer of cold sweat covered his head. He couldn’t conceal his confusion, so he asked.

“Grandmother, why are you staring at me?”

The old lady snorted and threw the phone to Qi Lingyan.

“Take a look at the message.”

Qi Lingyan lowered his eyes and glanced at the screen. He saw that Grandmother had been chatting with Su Xiaonai, and Su Xiaonai’s latest message seemed to be about him.

Qi Lingyan took a closer look and his face changed instantly.

I’m not her type?

I’m not good enough by her standard?

Qi Lingyan tightened his grip on the phone. All kinds of emotions flashed across his eyes, but in the end, only confusion was left.

The old lady did not care about what kind of emotional state her grandson was currently in. She leaned over and snatched the phone away.

“Did you do something that angered her?”

She knew Qi Lingyan’s character after all. Her grandson had a rich imagination, often thinking that all of the female gender wished to seduce him.

That could happen, but it wasn’t a justified generalization.

Some girls simply didn’t care about marrying into rich families. Su Xiaonai would be one of them.

Such a good girl, yet her grandson managed to make her angry.

Qi Lingyan recalled how he had misunderstood Su Xiaonai a few days ago. He paused for a moment, but was still too cocky to admit his mistake.

“No, she’s just petty.”

Seeing the reluctant look on Qi Lingyan’s face, the old lady let out a long sigh and shook her head helplessly.

“You’re completely hopeless.”

Qi Lingyan’s ears turned red from his grandmother’s words. He wanted to defend himself, but the old lady glanced at him, and he didn’t dare to speak. After all, he felt a little guilty.

His grandmother spoke meaningfully, her words heartfelt.

“You should cherish this opportunity, so that you don’t regret it later. It’d be too late to chase after her when she’s gone.”

Qi Lingyan lowered his eyes and nodded obediently.

In the bar, Gu Xunjun was having fun on the dance floor, but Su Xiaonai stayed behind. She didn’t like crowded places.

Just then, a waiter came over with two cocktails. They were for Su Xiaonai’s table.

Another waiter followed behind with a tray of barbecue.

The waiters left the moment they placed everything on the wooden table. Su Xiaonai picked up a skewer of barbecued chicken feet and started eating.

It had a spicy flavor, so crispy that she couldn’t stop eating it.

It was so spicy that Su Xiaonai’s eyes turned red. She wanted a drink to relieve the spiciness, but she didn’t have any whole milk with her, only two cocktails.

Su Xiaonai couldn’t take it anymore. She took her margarita and took a sip.

She felt instantly better.

So she ate and drank her way through her margarita and half of the barbeque in no time.

She turned on her phone and sent a message to Gu Xunjun, telling her to come back before the barbeque cooled down and lost its flavor.

She wondered if Gu Xunjun would bother checking her phone. After all, she could be having the best time of her life on the dance floor.

A few minutes later, Gu Xunjun walked out from the crowd. Her clothes were a little messy, and the top button of her shirt had been undone. Her ponytail was down and hung by her side, a carelessness that made her look chic.

She exuded an alluring and sexy aura.

Gu Xunjun walked over. A few men tracked her steps with their eyes, looking angry.

Who had taken away their goddess? It better not be her boyfriend.

However, when they saw Su Xiaonai, they were practically stunned. Another beauty that was just drop-dead gorgeous.

She looked bright and magnificent.

Indeed, good-looking people congregate.

Gu Xunjun didn’t pay attention to those behind her, and she walked over to her seat with large strides. Then she picked up the skewers and started eating almost barbarically.

She needed to replenish her depleted energy.

When she was almost done, she took a tissue and wiped her mouth. Then she noticed that Su Xiaonai had been silent the whole time.

That’s strange.

Only then did she look at Su Xiaonai.

She saw that her expression was normal and there was nothing unusual, but something felt wrong.

“Xiaonai?”

Su Xiaonai was staring into the void. Then she slowly raised her head and spoke.

“Mm? Why are you calling me?”

Gu Xunjun smacked herself on the head. Su Xiaonai must be drunk. As someone who had been by her side for years, how could she not know what she looked like when she was drunk?

Gu Xunjun was a little confused. How could she get this drunk from a glass of margarita? She didn’t remember her to be a lightweight.

She got her answer when she looked up and realized that her whiskey was gone as well.

She called out to a waitress.

“Do you guys have honey?”

This was the first time the waitress heard this request. She paused before replying.

“We’ve got that in the kitchen.”

“Then bring me a cup of honey water.”

She then took out a note from her wallet and handed it to the waitress as a tip.

The waitress took the cash and her eyes were lit up with happiness. She did not expect to receive a tip today. That’s awesome.

Without making Gu Xunjun wait for too long, the waitress came over with a glass of honey water. Gu Xunjun took it and thanked her.

She coaxed Su Xiaonai to drink the honey water. Su Xiaonai was pretty obedient when she was drunk. She didn’t make a fuss, just her reaction speed was slow.

Su Xiaonai finished the honey water in one go. After a while, her thoughts started to return and she was no longer as dazed..
