91 Wine

A man dressed in white brocade with gold-colored clouds approached slowly. He was tall, lean, had broad shoulders, and a narrow waist. When he moved, a dark light seemed to be flowing on the hem of his clothes.

The sun was high, yet there seemed to be a layer of cold air lingering on his body, surrounding him. He looked like an unattainable snowy mountain peak.

A pair of saber-like eyebrows slanted toward his temple. His nose was straight, and his eyes sparkled like the stars in the Milky Way on a beautiful night. One could easily lose themself just by looking into his eyes.

His scarlet lips’ curves were perfect. It added warmth to the somewhat thin lips with the bead in the middle.

The man’s eyes resembled the world’s most tranquil and brilliant starry night, while his lips had the colors of intimacy and seduction. He was warm as jade, yet cold and noble. The aloofness between his eyebrows made one yearn for him subconsciously.

Everyone fell silent.

Few had seen this man since his return to the city; most of the people here were even seeing him for the first time.

Chu Ning hurriedly said, “Of course, not! Yue’er and I are so happy that Your Highness is here!”

Rong Xiu’s brows rose slightly. He finally laid his eyes on Chu Liuyue at the side, quickly sweeping past her. “Oh? Does Ms. Liuyue think the same?” His tone of voice sounded polite. However, who would’ve thought that this man had stayed in her room the previous night and refused to leave?

Chu Liuyue was secretly cursing him. Since you want to put on a show, I’ll go along with it!

She bowed. “My father’s thoughts reflect my exact feelings. We are humbled and honored by your presence.”

Rong Xiu watched her half-hearted appearance. The smile at the corners of his lips deepened.

Everyone was astonished by what they saw.

His Highness, Prince Li, seems to be friends with Chu Ning and his daughter. When did they get to know each other? Otherwise, why would he choose to be here today when he has rejected all the other invitations?

His Highness, the Seventh Prince, had a distinguished status and was a member of the royal family. He might have spent most of his time away from the Imperial City, but he was bestowed the title of ‘Prince Li’ by His Majesty as soon as he returned. It was proof of how much the emperor liked him.

When had Chu Ning forged a connection with him?

“Chu Liuyue, why don’t you pour some tea for His Highness? His Highness has helped us several times, but we have yet to thank him properly,” said Chu Ning.

A sudden thought came to Chu Liuyue. She reached out and picked up a jug of wine, avoiding the teapot.

The clear wine drew a line in the air and flowed into a cup. Its crisp, bamboo fragrance filled the air.

“Your Highness, please try this premium Green Bamboo Leaf Wine. You’ll definitely like it.”

A stunned Chu Ning stopped her with disapproval. “Yue’er, His Highness has just recovered. How can he drink wine?”

Chu Liuyue blinked and looked at Rong Xiu. “Your Highness, I noticed that you are wearing thin clothing. I was worried that you’d catch a cold, so I poured you some wine to warm you up. You don’t like it?”

Rong Xiu stared into her sparkling eyes. He knew she was doing this on purpose. “My body really can’t take too much wine…”

Chu Liuyue raised an eyebrow, and she was about to take the jug of wine away.
