Lanwan Bar, Jiangbei City.

This is the most exclusive high-end nightclub in Jiangbei City, completely different from ordinary noisy bars.

There were no deafening, cheesy DJs, no crowded, noisy crowds; the entire event was filled with soothing, languid jazz music played at a very low volume, just enough to create the right atmosphere without interrupting conversations and reminiscing.

Those who can afford to spend money here must at least be a minor tycoon.

The store is quiet and elegant, where customers mostly chat and relax with a drink in hushed tones. It is far removed from the noise and clamor of low-end bars, which makes the place even more upscale and elegant, and it is favored by the upper class.

After finishing her outdoor live stream, Wang Zhaoyue took Qin Ziyang to this upscale bar.

Her simple yet sophisticated casual outfit accentuated her slender figure and vibrant energy, making her stand out even in this upscale venue filled with sophisticated people.

Qin Ziyang was constantly drawn to Wang Zhaoyue, always observing her every move out of the corner of his eye when she couldn't see him.

Zhang Xianglin followed closely behind and took a seat.

He very tactfully moved to the inside seat, giving the two of them a face-to-face distance.

Wang Zhaoyue called over a waiter and ordered several low-alcohol fruit cocktails and snacks.

"Okay, miss, please wait a moment." The waiter responded and withdrew.

The booth was instantly reduced to just three people.

Wang Zhaoyue turned to the side, rested her elbow lightly on the table, propped her chin on her hand, and stared intently at Qin Ziyang beside her, her eyes full of amusement.

Perhaps it was the enclosed and quiet environment, but Qin Ziyang's posture was slightly tense. He sat upright, exuding a sense of unease and restraint. His hands were unconsciously placed on his knees, looking somewhat awkward.

Seeing his expression, Wang Zhaoyue couldn't help but chuckle.

"What are you so nervous about? The live stream is off, there are no cameras or viewers, just a few of us. Do you think I'm going to eat you right here?"

She leaned forward slightly, lowered her voice, and slowly spoke with a hint of gossipy slyness:

"And besides, I know quite a few of your little secrets, including your ex-girlfriend's affairs."

As soon as the words were spoken, Zhang Xianglin, who had been obediently standing in the background, froze instantly.

His lips twitched violently, and he felt like crying but had no tears left to shed.

Why did you sell me out...?

He had only casually chatted with Wang Zhaoyue about their university days after she had coaxed him into doing so. Who would have thought that this young lady would have such a good memory and would immediately bring up old grievances to tease Qin Ziyang?

Zhang Xianglin secretly glanced at Qin Ziyang's expression out of the corner of his eye, his heart pounding in his chest, filled with anxiety, fearing that Qin Ziyang would be angry and hold a grudge.

Fortunately, Qin Ziyang did not get angry.

Hearing this, he simply shook his head helplessly and smiled faintly.

"That's all in the past, there's no need to bring it up again."

He clearly didn't want to dwell on the topic any longer and intended to let it go.

But Wang Zhaoyue was clearly determined to tease him tonight. She wanted to make him sulk whenever she thought about how distant he had been yesterday.

How could Wang Zhaoyue let him off so easily?

She blinked, her smile widening, her tone slightly teasing:

"Let's not talk about my ex-girlfriend, let me talk about something else."

"I also heard that you were very upright, helpful, and incorruptible in college."

"She seems like a naive college student!"

She raised an eyebrow slightly, deliberately drawing out her words:

"I never expected that Young Master Qin had such a youthful past. How about we talk about your glorious achievements in college? You can tell me the details, I'd love to hear it!"

At this point, Qin Ziyang completely lost his composure.

He glanced helplessly at Zhang Xianglin, who was shrinking back and shrugging his shoulders, then smiled wryly:

"Miss Wang is quite impressive; she knows so much about my past."

The word "Miss Wang" instantly made Wang Zhaoyue's eyebrows furrow slightly, her smile fade a bit, a clear hint of feigned anger flashed in her eyes, and her cheeks puffed out slightly, revealing a touch of her charmingly naive temper.

Qin Ziyang, observing her expressions, instantly caught the change in her emotions and inwardly realized something was wrong.

Just then, a waiter walked steadily over with a tray, gently placing several glasses of clear, exquisite cocktails and a plate full of delicate snacks on the table.

The deep blue liquor was crystal clear, shimmering with subtle light under the lamp, and the glass was covered with fine water droplets, making it extremely visually appealing.

Seeing this, Qin Ziyang immediately seized the opportunity to back down, picked up a glass of wine, and sincerely admitted his mistake.

"I was wrong yesterday. I'll accept three cups of wine as punishment to apologize, how about that?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhaoyue's beautiful eyes widened, and she gave a soft, cold snort, her tone carrying a hint of distant politeness, but she deliberately avoided mentioning the word "forgiveness."

"Young Master Qin, you're too kind."

It means you have to drink the alcohol, but this isn't over yet.

Qin Ziyang smiled bitterly to himself, thinking to himself that this little girl's ability to hold grudges was truly first-rate.

He immediately changed his tune, softening his tone considerably: "Wang Zhaoyue."

He had barely uttered two words when he met Wang Zhaoyue's still angry gaze, so he quickly softened his attitude and earnestly changed his words to beg for forgiveness.

"Zhaoyue, I was wrong. I'll honestly drink three cups of wine as punishment to sincerely apologize, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhaoyue's tightly clenched lips finally couldn't help but curl up slightly, forming a faint crescent moon shape.

But she still feigned composure and spoke calmly:

"So-so."

The light fell on her delicate and lively profile, her eyebrows and eyes were charming, and she had a shrewd look that was both aggrieved and proud, making her extremely cute.

Looking at her like this, Qin Ziyang felt a slight stirring in his heart and couldn't help but chuckle softly.

He didn't hesitate any longer and picked up the cocktail in front of him called "Deep Sea Blue Island".

This drink is the bar's signature cocktail. It has a high alcohol content of 28%. The initial taste is sweet and mellow with fruity notes, while the aftertaste is spicy and goes straight to the throat, making it easy to let your guard down and get tipsy.

Qin Ziyang had almost never drunk alcohol before, and his alcohol tolerance was average.

He tilted his head back and, without hesitation, downed a glass of dark blue cocktail in one gulp.

The initial taste is a light blueberry aroma, sweet and refreshing, without any sense of incongruity. However, in an instant, a strong alcoholic spiciness sweeps through the throat and rushes down the esophagus into the stomach.

"hiss--"

He instinctively gasped, his brow furrowing slightly. He quickly grabbed several pieces of cheese pastry from the table and stuffed them into his mouth to chew, trying to neutralize the spicy burning sensation in his throat.

Seeing his slightly disheveled appearance and complete lack of alcohol tolerance, Wang Zhaoyue could no longer hold back. Her clear laughter rang out in the quiet booth, her eyebrows curving and her shoulders trembling slightly as she laughed.

She had originally thought that Qin Ziyang, who came from the Qin family, must have an exceptional alcohol tolerance and countless social engagements. She never expected that he couldn't drink at all. He lost control after just one glass of 28-proof fruit-flavored liquor.

A mischievous thought instantly sprouted in her mind.

While Qin Ziyang was eating pastries to ease his discomfort, Wang Zhaoyue raised her hand and gently beckoned to the waiter, quickly ordering her food.

"Add three more cups of Deep Sea Blue Island, two cups of Misty Orange Sea, and one cup of Golden Twilight."

Each one is a signature cocktail made with a high alcohol content, with a strong aftertaste.

Qin Ziyang looked up and saw the waiter leave in response. He met Wang Zhaoyue's meaningful and slightly cunning smile, and a chill ran down his spine. He had an inexplicable sense of foreboding.

He quickly tried to dissuade him, saying, "Drinking is bad for your health. A few sips are enough. There's no need to order so much."

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Zhaoyue interrupted him directly.

"You've only drunk one of the three cups meant as an apology; there are still two left."

She crossed her arms, feigning seriousness, making it clear that she was going to tease Qin Ziyang tonight.
