Chapter 563
His chilly attitude greatly disturbed the birthday girl . She wondered who on Earth had managed to antagonize this man whose self-control had always been intact .
Seeing his sullen look and how Yun Shishi was keeping her distance, she reckoned that the two had an argument .
It looks like it .
From the moment the two returned to the booth, not a word was spoken between them .
Even Li Chengze’s high spirits could not survive for long in the company of the grim-faced and straitlaced man . What a spoilsport, indeed!
He anxiously sat on his seat as the star’s oppressive aura overwhelmed everyone in the VIP booth .
The hostess sought the man’s forgiveness to alleviate the tension in the air by serving him a glass of red wine . “Xingze, what’s the matter?”
Following her question, she said pacifyingly, “I was willful earlier . Can you let it pass? This is a toast to ask for your forgiveness . ”
She then downed the glass of wine at one go .
The man did the same without looking at her .
The wine glass almost cracked as it hit the table when he put it down .
Yun Shishi saw how agitated he looked and knew that he was angry . Deep down, she felt wronged and guilty, yet she did not know how to approach him about it .
Is it wrong for me to tell him not to waste his affections on me?
Li Chengze sought her . As he sat down next to her, she purposely shuffled away from him . The man smilingly bridged the gap between them again .
She glared at him . “What are you trying to do?”
“Sorry, sorry! I was in the wrong earlier! I said those words in a moment of anger; can you find it in your heart to forgive me? I am quick-tempered and often shoot my mouth off when upset . You can scold me if it helps lessen your anger on me!”
He acted like a poor chap before her as he served himself a glass of wine . “Let this toast be my way of seeking your forgiveness!”
He lifted the glass to his mouth and finished the wine at one go . He then presented the bottom of the glass to her to indicate that not one sip was left behind .
She turned her head away and ignored him .
He quickly pushed a glass of cocktail in her direction as he said with a smile, “Don’t be angry! I’ve ordered this beverage for you . It contains only a small amount of red wine . This low-alcohol cocktail is the bar’s specialty . Take this as my peace offering!”
He said a few more words when she continued to ignore him . “Dear missy, can you not be angry anymore? I’m a b*stard to say those things earlier; you can slap me—”
“All right . ” She sighed in resignation . “I’ll drink this up, but stop bothering me, okay?”
What audacity!
“I won’t bother you as long as you forgive me!”
“I forgive you . ”
She would agree to anything as long as he stopped pestering her .
Slowly, she lifted the cocktail to her mouth . The lemon-flavored liquid inside the glass swirled slightly with her movement, vividly reminding her of that previous horrific experience . This unbearable alcoholic drink was repulsive to her .
Seemingly like offering a prayer, she held her breath, closed her eyes, and solemnly drank the cocktail . The sweet fragrance of the cocktail woke her up instantly!
