The city of Nanfeng under the night sky, with lights shining brightly, and the cool breeze carrying a lively and bustling atmosphere.
"You did a great job today, its a huge relief for me! Come on, have a drink!"
In a wine building on the street, Yan Lingqings small hand held a wine glass, and her usual cold face was presented with extremely rare grandeur and extravagance in front of the strong wine.
Li Luo was also confused by her sudden change, and could only weakly pick up his wine cup to clink with hers, then he was shocked to see Yan Lingqing drink the entire cup in one gulp, almost covering half of her face.
This drinking method, compared with Yan Lingqings intellectual and cold elegance with silver-framed glasses, truly formed a huge contrast.
At least for now, many eyes in this building are casting stealthy glances with a hint of astonishment, after all, Yan Lingqins appearance is quite high.
"Ling Qing didnt say that in the end, its still about helping this young master make money." Li Luo said with a smile.
"The fact is, but that Zhuang Yi guy, relying on his seniority, has made me lose face several times, Ive been displeased with him for a long time." Yan Lingqin pouted her small red mouth.
She looked at Li Luo and said, "However, you have indeed made me look at you in a new light today. I originally thought that the young master of the Li family was just a lucky charm."
Li Luo felt a bit awkward, is it really good to have such a straightforward conversation?
Yan Lingqing refilled his wine and said, "To tell you the truth, even if its like that, there is still a big gap between you and Qinge."
"This is a matter of course." Li Luo acknowledged this calmly, and Jiang Qinge was indeed exceptional. Even the Sacred Profound Star Academy had humbled itself to specially recruit her, an honor that even the princes of the Great Xia Empire might not enjoy.
"But Ill try." Li Luo stared at his wine cup and smiled as he said this.
Yan Lingqing said with a hint of playfulness: "Oh? It sounds like you really have feelings for Qinge?"
"Qinges excellence doesnt need me to say much, if I said I didnt have any thoughts about her, Im afraid even you would call me hypocritical." Li Luo said seriously.
He and Jiang Qingao had been together for so many years, the emotions between them were already slightly complicated, plus that engagement, so in Li Luos view, they already had a very deep bond.
This feeling, Li Luo believed that it was not just him, even someone like Jiang Qinge with her personality would not be able to treat him as an ordinary person. This point, in their usual interactions, Li Luo could still sense.
"Honest enough."
Yan Lingqing took another swig of strong liquor, nodded, and smiled with profound meaning: "However, if you really have this idea, its a heavy responsibility and a long way to go. For now, youre just in Nanfeng City, but when you one day go to Shengxuan Xing Academy, youll realize how terrifying your competitors are."
Li Luoduan raised his wine cup and also downed it in one gulp. After some thought, he said: "However... I am actually Jiang Qinges fiancé."
He paused for a moment and smiled: "And if they really want to do something to me, Qinge will also protect me. I think at that time, the ones who will be in trouble might be them."
Yan Lingqings beautiful eyes widened slightly as she stared at Li Luo and said, "Arent you hiding behind a woman?"
Li Luo Zhen said: "Unmarried wife protecting unmarried husband, whats wrong with that?"
Yan Lingqin was speechless for a moment before she couldnt help but say: "This...is also too much."
Then she couldnt help but burst out laughing, because given Jiang Qingwas personality, it was indeed possible that she would do something like this, and in doing so, it would be a double blow to those people, both physically and mentally.
Li Luo smiled and poured her a full glass, the two of them constantly drinking back and forth. By the end, when Li Luos head started to spin, he finally discovered that Yan Lingqin had fallen asleep on the table.
Li Luorong let out a sigh of relief as she shook Yan Lingqing, only to find that she had no reaction at all, leaving her speechless.
Finally, Li Luo stepped forward and bent down, one hand wrapped around Yan Lings slender waist, the other hand passing behind her knees, then he scooped her up in his arms.
As Li Luo carried Yan Lingqing out of the wine house, there were some envious glances cast around.
However, Li Luo did not have the same sinister intentions as them. After leaving the wine tower, he called over the carriage that was waiting on the side, and a maid got out of it.
This was prepared by Yan Lingqing before she came, it seems that she had known all along that once she drank wine, she would inevitably get drunk.
Li Luo carefully lifted Yan Lingqin into the carriage and then instructed the maid: "Send Vice President Yan back home."
The maid bowed respectfully and drove away in the distance.
On the street, Li Luo looked at the car disappearing into the bright lights and also stretched his waist. He thought of his previous conversation with Yan Lingqin and smiled lightly.
Still have to work hard...
Although he didnt mind letting Jiang Qinge protect him, after all, he couldnt let Jiang Qinge lose face, could he?
As Li Luo turned and left, in the distant carriage, Yan Lingyun, who should have been heavily drunk, suddenly opened his eyes.
She lay lazily, muttering to herself with a smile: "Not bad, they didnt take advantage of me after all."
"Turning back to Qinge, I said that this little fiancé of hers, although his abilities arent great, but as her sister, I still find him somewhat acceptable."
...
On the second day, after Li Luo got up, he still felt a slight headache, which made him feel helpless. It seemed that in the future, he would have to refuse to drink with Yan Lingqing again.
After washing up, Li Luo came to the front hall and saw Cai Weis sister waiting for him to have breakfast, looking beautiful and charming like a flower.
Li Luo smiled somewhat apologetically.
"Did you have a drink with Yan Lingqing last night?" Cai Wei asked, ladling a bowl of plain porridge for him and smiling coyly.
Li Luo nodded and said: "I didnt expect Ling Qing sister to drink wine... its a bit heroic."
Cai Wei said with some annoyance: "Ling Qing, youre really something. Youre just a kid and hes already taking you out to drink."
Li Luo immediately became dissatisfied and retorted, "Sister Cai Wei, dont think you can take advantage of me just because youre a bit older than me. Youre treating me like my own mother."
Cai Wei gave him a glance and praised: "I know what you did at Xi Yang Wu yesterday, its not bad, you can actually start helping out now."
"This period of time, I have been continuously selling off some of the useless business and industries of Luolan Prefecture in Tianxu County. Some of them were even sold to the Tifa family and the Bei family at a low price... Hehe, I heard that the Song family has talked to those two families about this, but it seems like nothing came out of it. Although these things are not enough to make them split apart, they are enough to make it difficult for them to reach a complete consensus when dealing with Luolan Prefecture."
"After getting rid of these burdens, our funds have become more abundant. The five spiritual waters and the strange light you need should be able to be purchased one after another recently."
Li Luoda was overjoyed: "Sister Cai Wei is really capable, unlike Ling Qing sister, who cant drink and likes to drink randomly."
Cai Wei blinked her thick eyelashes and said, "Cant handle your liquor?"
Li Luo nodded and said: "She got drunk last night, it was me who had someone send her back."
Cai Weis red lips curled up with a playful smile: "My silly young master, Yan Lingqins capacity for wine can knock you down ten times over, and her face wont even flush once."
Li Luo was stunned.
Cai Wei looked him up and down, saying: "You didnt take advantage of the situation to harbor any evil intentions towards her, did you? Otherwise, she would never have a good word for you in front of Qing E."
Li Luo hastily thought back and seemed that he hadnt done anything out of line, so he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
However, he was still fooled by Yan Lingqing.
He somewhat awkwardly put down his bowl and said: "Im going to school."
She turned and ran, with Cai Weis sweet laughter echoing behind her, which made Li Luo extremely angry. His sisters were too scheming, he was indeed still a child after all.
