It is now past four in the afternoon and the rain is still falling.

After Su Qing left the front yard, she did not go to the back to help the young master of the Ming family arrange dinner as she said. When the housekeeper came forward to ask, she just said that she would see to it.

"I wonder where Su Qi and her boyfriend are now?" Su Qing murmured, looking up at the raindrops falling from the eaves into the garden.

The butler next to her naturally wouldn't answer her.

Su Qing gathered her shawl and went back to her room to rest.

Shi Zhuo chased after him, and after learning about Su Qing's arrangements from the housekeeper, he felt relieved.

"It seems that she doesn't care about the young master of the Ming family." Shi Zhuo thought.

But at this moment, Su Qing returned to her room, and Shi Zhuo didn't want to disturb her, so he went back to his guest room, took out his textbook and started doing his homework.

Today is Thursday, not the weekend.

Since signing the "couple contract" with Su Qi, Shi Zhuo has been asking for leave more frequently. Fortunately, he is smart and has good grades, so he quickly caught up with the progress through self-study and borrowing classmates' notes.

Neither Su Qing nor Shi Zhuo showed up again, and Ming Yan was left alone in the living room in the front yard.

He was furious and wanted to get up and leave immediately, but when he thought of the fake young master Ming Ye who had regained the trust of Ming's father, Ming Yan forced himself to suppress his anger and forced himself to stay here.

This wait lasted two hours.

The rain gradually subsided.

After Shi Zhuo finished writing the last symbol, he looked up at the sky outside the window, and then methodically put away the textbook he had just written.

It's already 6pm.

Because it was winter, it was completely dark outside.

Shi Zhuo stood up from his chair and walked to the door. He placed his slender white fingers on the door handle and gently pushed, and the door in front of him opened. He glanced at the guest room where Su Qing lived and found that the door was still closed, which meant that the other party had not come out yet.

He retracted his gaze and looked towards the front yard.

The light from above fell on the pair of eyes, which were clearly black and white, casting bright and dark shadows.

Shi Zhuo seemed to have made up his mind and turned to walk towards the kitchen in the courtyard.

The chef is preparing tonight's dishes for them.

Shi Zhuo saw that there was an extra meat dish on the preparation table that was not there before, so he asked the chef.

The chef told him that it was requested by the guests in the front yard.

Young master of the Ming family?
Shi Zhuo stared at the dish, his eyes darkening.

He reached into his pocket and grasped a small white bottle.

Ten minutes later, Shi Zhuo was about to leave the kitchen, and Su Qing happened to come over at this time.

"What is that? It smells so good." She exclaimed as she smelled the aroma of food floating in the air.

Everyone in the kitchen greeted her.

Shi Zhuo quickly glanced at the plate of meat and said obediently, "Sister Su Qing."

"Yeah." Su Qing smiled and nodded, walked over to Shi Zhuo, and saw the dish, "What is this?"

She asked similar questions to Shi Zhuo.

The chef answered.

"Master Ming ordered it himself?"
Su Qing raised an eyebrow, and soon a warm smile appeared on her face. "Since it was ordered by Young Master Ming himself, how can it be so casual? It must be more varied."

The others looked at her in confusion.

"Do you have croton?" Su Qing turned her head and looked at the chef beside her with a smile.

"Ba, croton?" the chef was surprised.

Shi Zhuo subconsciously tightened his hands in his pockets.

"I heard that Young Master Ming Yan particularly likes croton. How can this dish he specially ordered not have his favorite things added to it?" Su Qing continued to smile.

Under her gaze, the chef nodded stiffly: "Yes, yes."

Su Qing took the croton seeds handed over by the chef and put them into the dish that Ming Yan ordered.

The portion looks a bit large, but Mingyan is an Alpha, so the portion is just right, not too much or too little.

"Okay, let's send it over later." Su Qing clapped his hands and left.

The people left in the kitchen looked at each other in bewilderment.

Since the owner of the villa said so, they had no choice but to do as he said.

Shi Zhuo chased after him.

"Sister Su Qing."
He called Su Qing and asked, "Do you dislike the young master of the Ming family?"

"Yes." Su Qing admitted frankly.

Ming Yan thought he had concealed it well, but Su Qing still saw arrogance and calculation in his eyes.

It was his fault that he was too stupid and didn't cover it up well. Su Qing didn't like being calculated by others, especially being judged as a "goods".

Since they both look down on each other, she might as well be the bad guy.

Besides, Ming Yan always bullies Ming Ye with mean means. It is said that when beating a dog, you should look at its owner. Today, she will vent her anger for Ming Xiaoye.

"I don't like him either." Shi Zhuo whispered.

Su Qing just thought he was agreeing with her and didn't take his words to heart.

"Let's go to the front yard to eat." Su Qing said, looking at the night sky above the yard.

It’s so late, the two people who went up the mountain in the afternoon haven’t come back yet?
At the dinner table, the real young master Ming Yan quickly felt the power of croton.

"you--"
He pointed at Su Qing and immediately realized that she was the one who had tampered with the food.

"Crotonyan, you're welcome." Su Qing picked up the napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth, smiling slightly.

Ming Yan's face changed immediately after hearing her confession, and he wanted to say something else. But soon, his stomach couldn't take it anymore, and he covered his stomach with a gloomy face, and a voice full of hatred squeezed out from between his teeth: "Good Miss Su, you wait for me."

After Ming Yan made his threats, he didn't even open his umbrella, but hurriedly left the courtyard, holding his stomach.

"Hey, isn't this the young master of the Ming family? Why is this..."

Su Qi and Gu Zhien, who had just returned from the mountain, happened to meet Ming Yan at the door. When Su Qi saw him coming out of their yard, he wanted to say hello, but was glared at by him.

"What? His temper is too bad." Su Qi took Gu Zhien into the dining room in the front yard.

As soon as he came in, he complained to Su Qing about meeting Ming Yan at the door.

Su Qing's eyes swept over Su Qi and Gu Zhien, and she saw that what they were wearing was obviously not the same clothes they wore when they went out at noon. She also saw that Su Qi's face was flushed, and her eyes always subconsciously fell on Gu Zhien. Gu Zhien was obviously a little guilty, and she didn't dare to look at her, nor did she dare to look at Shi Zhuo who was sitting opposite her...

Suddenly, Su Qing understood their schedule for this afternoon.

Shi Zhuo seemed to have noticed something, but he remained silent and did not point it out.

"Okay, have you eaten? If not, sit down and eat. We are just starting." Su Qing interrupted her niece's chattering.

Su Qi stopped and asked Gu Zhien to sit down.

Then she saw the butler remove the meat dish in front of her.

"Why did you take this dish away? Didn't we just eat a little bit?" Su Qi asked puzzledly.

Su Qing thought of Ming Yan's appearance and replied, "You'd better not understand."

Su Qi was open-minded, so after hearing her say that, he stopped asking questions and started talking about the Su family manor on the mountain.

"I didn't expect there was such a place in the manor." Su Qi marveled when talking about the wine cellar.

After dinner, he even took out a bottle of wine from the wine cellar and said he wanted to give it to Su Qing.

"Aunt, would you like to try it? I brought this especially for you." Su Qi seemed very attentive. "You brought this for me?"
Su Qing stared at the wine bottle in her hand, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said with a smile, "Is it really for me? Or do you want me to take the blame for you?"

Su Qi and Gu Zhien immediately felt uncomfortable when they heard her say this.

In the afternoon, Su Qi and Gu Zhien went to the Su Family Manor on the top of the mountain to avoid the rain and entered Su Xi's private wine cellar. There were many good wines in Su Xi's private wine cellar.

Su Qi was in a good mood and took Gu Zhien to taste a lot of fine wines.

When he came to his senses, he realized that he had caused trouble and accidentally drank the treasure that Su Xi had locked in the safe.

Although she had lost her memory, her fear of the devil Suxi remained. She felt that her small shoulders could not carry such a heavy burden, so she wanted to find someone to help her carry it.

Naturally, she would not agree to let Gu Zhien carry it.

So, they thought of their aunt Su Qing who came to Lingyun Villa with them.

After all, she is my aunt, so it doesn’t matter if I cheat her.

"Haha, auntie, look at what you said, I..."

Su Qi still wanted to fool around, but under the gaze of Su Qing's peach blossom eyes, her voice became smaller and smaller, and finally she had to confess, "Please, my dear aunt, please help me. Otherwise, mother will definitely not let me go."

Shi Zhuo looked at Su Qi hugging Su Qing and acting coquettishly, and for a moment he felt a little jealous.

"Okay." Seeing that she begged like this, Su Qing had no choice but to take the bottle of wine.

"Thank you, auntie, you are so kind!" Su Qi was so excited that she kissed Su Qing on the face.

Su Qing pushed her away with disgust, stood up with the wine and prepared to leave.

"Aunt, are you leaving now?" Su Qi was surprised.

Shi Zhuo also looked at her, but did not show much emotion.

"I said early in the morning that I will not stay overnight at Lingyun Villa tonight." Su Qing said.

"That, that..."
Su Qi's eyes fell on the bottle of wine and he swallowed subconsciously.

"Really? You still want to drink?" Su Qing could see the desire in her face.

"I took this bottle of wine from my mother's safe," Su Qi explained.

She had drunk one of the bottles, but had not yet drunk this one.

"You mean..."

"The wine that can be locked in the safe by mother must be the best wine." Su Qi began to seduce Su Qing, "Aunt, please let us have a taste."

Su Qing turned her head and found that Shi Zhuo and Gu Zhien were also looking at her.

Although the expressions of the two Omegas were not as revealing as Su Qi's, Su Qing still saw curiosity on their faces.

"Fine wine?" Su Qing's curiosity was also aroused.

"Exquisite wine!" Su Qi nodded.

Su Qing's eyes fell on the bottle of wine in his hand.

She was a little moved by what he said.

"After you finish drinking, I'll let Xiaojia drive you home." Su Qi said.

Xiaojia is one of the bodyguards who accompanied them to Lingyun Villa today.

Su Qi's words completely dispelled Su Qing's hesitation.

She glanced at the time on her phone. It was not yet 9 o'clock. Even if she drank for an hour, it would only be 10 o'clock. It only took an hour to go back from Lingyun Villa. Even if there was a traffic jam, she could still get back to the rental house before 1 o'clock in the morning.

"Well, okay?" Su Qing.

"Great!" Su Qi cheered.

Shi Zhuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing Su Qi happy, Gu Zhien also showed happiness on her face.

They went to the backyard and found a small indoor garden with a nice view to sit down. On the small square table in the middle, there were four red wine glasses. As the amber liquid poured out of the bottle, a rich and tempting aroma of wine instantly spread.

"It smells so good." Gu Zhien said in surprise.

"It smells really good." Su Qi picked up the wine glass, sniffed it gently, and handed the glass to Su Qing.

Su Qi handed the second cup to Gu Zhien.

After hesitating for a while, he handed the third cup to Shi Zhuo and picked up the fourth cup himself.

Shi Zhuo noticed her reaction and glanced at Gu Zhien beside him calmly. His black and white eyes seemed to know something.

"Just smelling this is better than the bottle of wine we drank before..."

"Clap."

Before Su Qi finished speaking, he heard the sound of a wine glass falling to the ground next to him.

She turned her head and saw that her dear aunt had her eyes slightly closed and fell on the sofa. The wine glass in her hand fell to the ground and she had drunk all the wine in it.

The scene suddenly became quiet.

Su Qi wanted to go over to check the situation, but someone was faster than her.

Shi Zhuo hurried to Su Qing's side, squatted beside her, and carefully raised his hand to the bottom of her nose. After a moment, Shi Zhuo turned his head to look at the other two people, and a little uncertainty appeared on his usually indifferent face.

"She is drunk." Shi Zhuo said.

"Ah?" Su Qi and Gu Zhien were dumbfounded.

One glass and I'm drunk.

What about this bottle of wine?

Shi Zhuo and Gu Zhien's eyes fell on Su Qi.

"I, I don't know." Su Qi's body shook subconsciously.

Gu Zhien’s gaze was nothing, but Shi Zhuo’s gaze made Su Qi a little scared.

So she took out her cell phone and tremblingly called her dear mother. Su Xi heard her ask about the wine in the wine cellar and told her not to touch it.

"It's fine if they're outside, but you can't drink the ones locked in the safe, especially the bottle with number 8302. I spent a lot of money to buy it from another city. It's a special medicinal wine that can catalyze and improve the Alpha spirit level."

Su Xi's cold voice came from the phone, "The drug is very potent. It will be useless for you to drink it now."

The phone is on speakerphone.

Su Qi looked at the label 8302 on the bottle with horror, and asked in a trembling voice, "What if I drink it carelessly?"

"Did you drink it? If you drank that bottle of wine without preparation, the effect of the medicine that improves your mental power level would be gone. For people whose mental power level is lower than B level, at most they would just get drunk and have a slight headache after waking up."

Su Xi suddenly realized something was wrong when she said this. "Wait, Xiao Qi, why are you asking so many questions in such detail? I remember Xiao Wang told me that you were going to Lingyun Villa today. Could it be that you..."

"No, mother, I'm just asking out of curiosity. How dare I touch your things without your permission?" Su Qi stuttered.

After saying that, he quickly hung up the phone and looked at other people.

"Look, it's okay." Su Qi said guiltily.

Shi Zhuo pursed his lips but didn't say anything.

"Now what?"
Gu Zhien hesitated and asked, "Do you still want to send Auntie back?"

"How is that possible?" Su Qi denied it directly. "How can we send her back now? It seems that my aunt will have to stay at Lingyun Villa tonight."

The other two people looked at Su Qing lying drunk on the sofa, and agreed with Su Qi's decision.

Soon, they carried Su Qing back to the room.
