Chapter 121 Taking advantage of the situation
Upon seeing Tian Zhenzhen arrive, Li Xiaoyan warmly pulled her to a seat and then offered her some delicious food.
Tian Zhenzhen sat there, not touching her chopsticks for a long time.
Seeing Tian Zhenzhen's attitude, Li Xiaoyan guessed that she was wary of her, so she tasted each dish on her own.
"The food here is really good, Tian Zhenzhen. Are you not satisfied with my apology if you don't eat it?"
"Of course not, it's just that none of these dishes are my favorites. Can I order something else?"
"I see. Of course, that's fine."
Li Xiaoyan, in a good mood, called the waiter over again and had Tian Zhenzhen order a few more dishes.
While ordering food, Li Xiaoyan put down her chopsticks and said a lot of nice things to Tian Zhenzhen.
"Tian Zhenzhen, I was misled by the content of the post before, which is why I was a little angry and caused you trouble."
I now realize my mistake, and I hope you won't hold it against me.
"Since you recognize your mistake, I certainly won't hold it against you."
What I fear most is that some people make mistakes and then compound them; such fools usually don't end up well.
Tian Zhenzhen's words were loaded with meaning, and Li Xiaoyan, whether she didn't understand or didn't care, simply echoed her:
"I'm glad you can forgive me. This wine is a fruit wine brewed by Cuiying Lanting. It tastes very good and has a low alcohol content. You won't get drunk even if you drink a few more cups."
I'd like to raise a glass to you, hoping you can forgive and forget.
As she spoke, Li Xiaoyan picked up the wine glass in front of her and drank it down in one gulp.
Tian Zhenzhen could smell the fruity and wine aromas in the air, a blend that was quite intoxicating.
Seeing that Tian Zhenzhen wasn't drinking, Li Xiaoyan asked her in confusion.
"Tian Zhenzhen, why aren't you drinking it? You don't suspect I drugged you, do you?"
Tian Zhenzhen didn't expect her to say that. Before she could reply, Li Xiaoyan, as if to prove her innocence, poured the wine from Tian Zhenzhen's glass into her own.
He then drank it down in one gulp.
"Now you can't possibly have any more doubts, right? I really want to sincerely apologize to you."
"I blame myself for being too easily swayed by rumors before. Now I realize that, given our identities, we can be very good friends," Li Xiaoyan said candidly.
In comparison, it seems that Tian Zhenzhen is being petty and calculating.
"Hehe, I didn't suspect you, it's just that you acted too quickly and I didn't have time to stop you."
"I also believe in your sincerity in apologizing." Anyone can say polite words, and her words made Li Xiaoyan even more convinced, causing Tian Zhenzhen to lower her guard.
Actually, Li Xiaoyan's actions just now were the abnormal ones; who in their right mind would think of drugging someone?
Her actions seemed a bit like trying to hide something, perhaps because she was too eager to prove herself.
I tried to allay her concerns, but I seemed to be going too far.
It's okay to fool others, but it's not enough to fool her.
"I just wanted to apologize to you properly. This wine is exclusively brewed by Cuiying Lanting and can only be drunk here. It tastes really good."
It also has beauty and skin-nourishing effects, let's have a few more cups.
As Li Xiaoyan spoke, she prepared to pour wine for Tian Zhenzhen.
However, when she poured wine for Tian Zhenzhen, she was clearly a little nervous. She held the wine glass in one hand and the wine bottle in the other, pouring a glass of wine for Tian Zhenzhen with great difficulty.
He then handed it to Tian Zhenzhen and poured himself a glass of wine.
He was about to clink glasses with Tian Zhenzhen as soon as the wine was poured, but Tian Zhenzhen refused.
"What? Zhenzhen, why aren't you drinking? Is there some misunderstanding about me?"
Li Xiaoyan was clearly in low spirits, like a child who had done something wrong and was at a loss.
Her aggrieved look was so convincing that anyone unaware of the situation would find it hard to refuse her request.
"Li Xiaoyan, don't misunderstand, my stomach isn't very good, I have to eat some vegetables before I can drink alcohol."
Otherwise, I'll definitely have a stomachache later, you understand?
Tian Zhenzhen offered an explanation, and Li Xiaoyan didn't press the matter. Perhaps the wine really tasted good, or perhaps she wanted to dispel Tian Zhenzhen's concerns.
Li Xiaoyan drank a few more cups, proving that she had not drugged him.
Most people would be able to let their guard down once they reach this point.
Just then, the dishes that Tian Zhenzhen had ordered were served.
When the waiter was serving the dishes, Tian Zhenzhen accidentally spilled some soup while carrying something.
Fortunately, it fell towards Li Xiaoyan. Even though Li Xiaoyan dodged it after seeing it, the white hem of her skirt was still inevitably stained with oil.
The stains, scattered like stars, quickly spread across the white dress.
"Ugh, what are you all doing? You can't even serve a proper dish. Do you know how expensive this dress of mine is?"
You couldn't afford it even if you worked for a year.
At this moment, Li Xiaoyan broke down, her face full of anger, and her eyes were full of malice when she looked at the waiter.
Upon seeing this, Tian Zhenzhen quickly grabbed some tissues and handed them to Li Xiaoyan.
Li Xiaoyan took it and wiped it hard twice, but the stains on it couldn't be removed at all.
Upon seeing this, the waiter immediately apologized.
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. This was my negligence. If the customer doesn't mind, she can bring the dress back later and we'll send it to the dry cleaners for free," the waitress quickly apologized.
"Li Xiaoyan, look, your dress is dirty. How about we leave it like this for today, and you can treat me to dinner another day?"
Tian Zhenzhen didn't want Li Xiaoyan to make things difficult for the waiter, so she retreated to advance, leaving Li Xiaoyan, who was originally about to get angry, with no choice but to accept her bad luck.
After all, her dress was already dirty, and if she let Tian Zhenzhen escape, it would truly be a loss for her.
He could only suppress his anger and put on a kind smile again.
"Forget it, it's just a dress. I've worn it a few times already, and I'm getting a little tired of it."
"You can tidy this up, I still need to have my meal with my friends."
After Li Xiaoyan said she wouldn't pursue the matter, the waiter quickly cleaned up the spilled food and then left.
"Li Xiaoyan, are you sure you don't need to tidy up?"
Tian Zhenzhen kindly asked.
"No need, it's just a little oil stain, I won't wear it again."
Today, I'm making sure Tian Zhenzhen has a great time.
Li Xiaoyan spoke with great composure.
"That's fine, I'll give it a try and see how the food is."
Tian Zhenzhen ate some of the food that had just been served and thought it tasted pretty good.
He then took the initiative to drink with Li Xiaoyan.
I must say, this fruit wine tastes pretty good, with a rich fruity aroma that makes you feel like you're in an orchard.
It has a rich and complex flavor, with a blend of fruity aroma and alcohol that leaves a lingering fragrance in the mouth, making it an unforgettable experience.
Upon seeing that Tian Zhenzhen had been drinking, Li Xiaoyan was noticeably more cheerful and enthusiastic than before.
"This wine tastes pretty good, doesn't it? Let's have a few more drinks."
"Okay!"
