If you're not going to marry me, why are you flirting? If you dare run away, I'll sever yo

Unexpectedly, Xia Ningqi dodged to the side.

"Don't you think what you said was cheesy?"

He thought Xia Ningqi would fall for him under his affectionate gaze, but reality slapped him hard in the face.

However, Li Zhaonian quickly recovered.

A slight smile appeared on his lips.

"You really are special. Of all the girls I've met, you're the first one to call me greasy."

Li Zhaonian believed that Xia Ningqi was just playing hard to get, trying to get his attention.

Thinking of this, he suddenly burst into laughter. "Although this method is very basic, I still want to say that you have indeed succeeded."

Xia Ningqi and Qi Nan were both full of question marks.

What on earth is this guy talking about?

Somewhat confused, Xia Ningqi was genuinely annoyed. She had only wanted some quiet time alone with her partner, but one person after another kept bothering her.

"Let's go, it's too noisy here."

She suddenly grabbed Qi Nan's wrist and forcefully dragged him away.

Qi Nan was at a loss.

I really just came here for a simple buffet, but now I seem to be in the center of a vortex again.

Xia Ningqi ignored the stares of others and pulled Qi Nan toward the courtyard.

However, a casual remark from the boy made her blush.

"Xia Ningqi, you're wearing a white dress and I'm wearing a black suit. Don't we look like we eloped at a wedding?"

"Elope my foot!"

Even if we were to elope... we'd come and pull me along...

Qi Nan couldn't help but say, "If I were to pull you away, it wouldn't be called eloping, it would be called bandits kidnapping a bride."

Why?

"It's called eloping because it's mutual affection."

Xia Ningqi remained silent, passing through numerous gazes, and made her way to the backyard.

...

Shen Wanping watched the scene unfold, her smile never fading.

"Looking at it this way, they actually seem quite well-matched."

Jiang Qin quickly said modestly, "Madam Shen, I'm afraid my son is not good enough for your daughter. Besides, he did some bad things to Ning Qi in the past."

"I know all of this, but I'm not some feudal patriarch. As long as Ningqi is happy, I can naturally put aside my reservations about these matters between men and women."

"Madam Shen, you are truly a magnanimous person."

Shen Wanping slightly suppressed her smile and said meaningfully, "But I'm afraid that someone might not understand and break my Ningqi's heart..."

"Forehead..."

Jiang Qin naturally understood what Shen Wanping meant.

In layman's terms, it means: "If you flirt but don't marry, you're doomed."

I was instantly drenched in sweat.

That's hard to guarantee, after all, my own stupid son is a complete idiot.

-

We arrived at the backyard.

The surrounding air finally quieted down.

"Xia Ningqi, why did you drag me here?"

"It's quiet here."

Just then, a bartender selling drinks passed by on the street, and Xia Ningqi casually grabbed two bottles, handing one of them to Qi Nan, saying, "This one's for you."

"Oh, thanks."

They found a marble bench and sat down together.

Fine wine paired with a beautiful view, plus fresh air—it certainly seems more comfortable here than staying in the lobby.

"By the way, can you really drink this much alcohol?"

"Whom do you look down on?"

Although Xia Ningqi had never drunk such strong liquor before, it did not affect her strong will in her words.

Seeing how certain she was.

Qi Nan had no choice but to swallow back what he was about to say.

There was a long silence.

Xia Ningqi opened the bottle. Since she had never tried it before, but didn't want to lose face in front of Qi Nan, she drank it straight from the bottle opening as if she were drinking a beverage.

The first taste was a faint sweetness that quickly dissipated, followed by a spicy sensation that burned her throat, causing her to cough several times.

Are you alright?

"fine..."

Xia Ningqi wiped the wine from the corner of her mouth. "I just drank it too fast."

"Maybe... I still think you shouldn't drink it..."

"What do you mean? You think you're the only one who can drink?"

Qi Nan shook his head helplessly; he really couldn't control his ancestors.

The bottle cap was also opened.

Qi Nan had only taken a couple of sips when he felt a warmth beside him. He turned around and saw that Xia Ningqi had unknowingly moved closer to him.

"Hey, I have a question for you."

Qi Nan rested his chin on his hand, his eyes lifeless. "I'm not called 'Feed,' I have my own name. If you have any questions, just say so."

The girl's body was almost pressed against Qi Nan's shoulder, and her thin, crimson lips were close to Qi Nan's ear.

"Then...Qinan...."

His ears were tickled by a warm breath. "Do you think I'm handsome?"

Her voice had a unique magnetism that startled Qi Nan, who shifted to the right and then turned his head to see her slightly tipsy face.

Xia Ningqi had fair skin and a faint blush on her face, making her look even more charming than usual.

"You've had too much to drink."

"I didn't."

Qi Nan pushed Xia Ningqi away a little, since the distance between the two of them was indeed a bit too ambiguous.

Xia Ningqi asked in a resentful tone, "Why did you push me? Do you dislike me?"

"Men and women should not touch each other; that would lead to misunderstandings."

"I don't mind at all, but you're the one who's starting to mind," Xia Ningqi said, taking another sip of her drink while still feeling annoyed.

Seeing this, Qi Nan tried to snatch the wine bottle from her hand.

But Xia Ningqi dodged it with lightning speed.

"Don't take my wine."

"You're already this drunk after just two sips; what would happen if you drank a few more? You'd be flying high!"

"That's none of your business! Unless you become my boyfriend, why should I listen to you?"

Qi Nan was also at a loss.

When this guy gets temperamental, he's even harder to appease than a child.

A few more bites followed.

The blush on the girl's face deepened even further.

Taking advantage of her dazed state, Qi Nan suddenly reached out and snatched the bottle, which was still a third full, from her hand.

It felt like something precious had been taken away from us.

Xia Ningqi pouted angrily, her voice filled with grievance, "Qi Nan, you bad guy, you bullied me again."

She looked pitiful.

However, Qi Nan had no intention of showing any mercy to the girl, but the girl's behavior in the next second gave him a big fright.

Xia Ningqi suddenly hugged him tightly.

Her rosy lips drew close to Qi Nan's neck.

A faint scent of alcohol mingled with her unique fragrance.

Then, a sweet voice that didn't belong to her rang out, "This is all you owe me, watch me bite you to death."

Before Qi Nan could react.

A soft, moist sensation came over my neck.

His body stiffened instantly.

Without turning his head, he could tell that it was Xia Ningqi's lips touching his skin.

"Didn't you say it was for biting? Why does it feel like it's for sucking?"

If it were a bite, it would only hurt for a moment, but the current situation is clearly more dangerous than imagined.
