Chapter – 76
 Sit Farther Away from Me
Fu Dong froze, a chill rising from the soles of his feet and spreading through his entire body.
Huo Zheng being his date?
Tomorrowâs newspaper headlines would probably be dominated by him and Huo Zheng. More importantly, it might even anger his father into fainting.
He stiffly turned his head and met Lu Liâs icy gaze. His heart trembled. He quickly stood up and gave up his seat.
âCousin, please sit.â The ingratiating smile on his face was utterly sycophantic.
Mu Wanwan lowered her head, the corners of her lips twitching as she suppressed a laugh.
Lu Li glanced at him, calmly withdrew his gaze, and let out a cold snort.
At least he knew what was good for him.
Fu Dong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. That was close.
As soon as Lu Li sat down, Mu Wanwan noticed even more eyes secretly fixed on her. She looked at the person beside her helplessly. âAre you very free?â
âAre you driving me away?â Lu Li asked instead of answering, his brows furrowing.
He had only gone to the restroom to get her a towel, and in that short time she had managed to smash a window. When she got drunk, she really went all out.
Fu Dong, who had been completely ignored at the side, couldnât hold back his laughter anymore. This was the first time he had seen someone able to keep Mu Wanwan in check.
Mu Wanwan took a sip of champagne and said tactfully, âIâm not interested in being tomorrowâs headline.â
She gave a light snort and turned to Lu Li. âWhat do you mean I cause trouble when Iâm drunk? As if youâve seen it.â
Lu Li said seriously, âYou tend to make a scene when you drink too much.â
Mu Wanwan raised her head, and her forehead unexpectedly brushed against his slightly cool lips. Her cheeks flushed instantly. In a small voice she said, âSit a little farther away from me.â
âYouâre not allowed to drink.â
Lu Liâs gaze rested lightly yet steadily on her delicate face, his voice low. âLooks like youâve completely forgotten what happened that night during training.â
Hearing that, he shifted closer instead, sitting right next to her. At such close proximity, when he lowered his head slightly, he could faintly catch the fragrance of her hair.
âWhat exactly happened that night?â She looked at him with sincere, curious eyes.
âXiao Dongzi, is it funny?â
âCough, cough.â
When someone gets drunk, she nearly turns the sky upside down.
Mu Wanwan: ââŚâ
She lifted a hand to brush back the stray hair by her ear and took the chance to glare at him, lowering her voice. âWhatâs wrong with me drinking? Give me back my glass.â
âYour face is very red.â Noticing her flushed cheeks, Lu Li smiled teasingly.
Mu Wanwan met his deep gaze and froze for a moment. That night during training?
She tried hard to recall, but her mind was blank. Her memory of that night only remained at the part where everyone was barbecuing and playing games.
âPfft.â
As expected of his cousin. Impressive.
The cold voice carried a hint of âkilling intent.â
Mu Wanwan almost choked. She quickly took another sip to steady herself, but Lu Liâs brows tightened slightly, almost imperceptibly. His long, well-defined hand directly took the glass from hers.
That only made things seem more suspicious.
âI didnât hear anything.â
The smile on Fu Dongâs face instantly vanished. He raised his head and met the unfathomable gazes of the two of them, immediately losing his nerve.
In an instant, the looks from the surrounding crowd grew even more intense.
Fu Dong pretended to drink, but his ears were secretly perked up. Lu Li shot him a glance from the corner of his eye and refused to elaborate. âIf you canât remember, then forget it.â
Mu Wanwan hated it most when he left things half-said to whet her appetite. Her little paw habitually smacked his arm.
âHissââ
A sudden wave of gasps erupted around them. People stared at Mu Wanwan in stunned silenceâsome shocked, some curious, but mostly in disbelief.
