It seemed that she really missed him .
“Does Feng Kun know about your identity?” Pei Ziheng asked .
In reality, Feng Kun was the first person who knew that she was Xia Ling . However, in front of Pei Ziheng, she shook her head . “How could he know? Do you think I can say this sort of thing? Pei Ziheng, I only told you . Even Li…” She stopped herself before she said the name of the man whom she was yearning for . “He doesn't know . ”
Only then was Pei Ziheng satisfied .
“In the future, you can't tell him . ” He warned her . “You're Ye Xingling now . This situation is too inconceivable, and not everyone can accept it . Even if he can accept it, he may get ideas . I'm not willing to see you fall into the hands of some secret experimental lab . ”
“Don't worry, I understand . ” She said .
“Even Xia Yu doesn't know?”
She shook her head .
Pei Ziheng wanted to ask her something for a long time . “About you and Xia Yu… This time when you debuted, you had countless arguments with her, and you seem to hate her . Why? Xiao Ling, this isn't like you . You always doted on her . ”
Xia Ling was shocked and never expected him to suddenly ask her that question . Did he actually know that Xia Yu liked him? She would curse her sister to die and insult her using the most vicious words in the world because of him . However, this conflict over a man between sisters was already in the past . Xia Ling did not love Pei Ziheng anymore now . Those days when she was jealous and went crazy over him felt ridiculous and amusing when she thought about them now .
She did not want him to see how much of a joke they were .
“It's nothing,” she said blandly . “I just suddenly think that this child needs some discipline . ”
Before Pei Ziheng could ask his next question, Xia Ling had already said, “Let's go to Feng Kun's 'Moonlight,' ok? He has good appetizer wine there . Perhaps I can eat better after drinking it . ”
Pei Ziheng's expression became gentler . How could she say that Xia Yu was a child when she was the child . In order to drink some wine, she could even use the excuse of “eating better . ”
Whatever, he should just follow her this once .
Although he did not oppose Feng Kun that much, he was still from Imperial Entertainment . He had a good character and genuinely cared for Xiao Ling . Pei Ziheng knew that they met before in this life and even worked together for a short while during the Nebula Music Festival . They seemed to get along together, so Xiao Ling did not forget to choose his bar when she wanted to drink .
The next night, they drove there .
Feng Kun had already received a heads up from Pei Ziheng and cleared everyone from the bar . Today, the bar was closed and would only serve both of them . He had not seen Xia Ling in a long time and heard that she was brought home by Pei Ziheng after an accident during her job . Was she living well? Feng Kun was worried about her and personally greeted them at the bar .
“Chairman, Miss Ye . ” He was different from Chu Chen and was not close enough to Pei Ziheng to call him “Boss . ” The courteous and unfamiliar way he addressed Pei Ziheng reflected his attitude towards him . He was not fawning or flattering him .
Pei Ziheng brought Xia Ling inside .
Xia Ling turned around and shot Feng Kun an expression that indicated that she needed help from an angle that Pei Ziheng could not see . In a flash, she quickly turned around as if nothing happened and followed Pei Ziheng to the seat next to the window .
Feng Kun quietly gave them a drink list .
“What do you want to drink?” Pei Ziheng gestured for Xia Ling to take a look .
Xia Ling chose a strong cocktail . “I want this . ”
Pei Ziheng said, “It's too strong and not suitable for you . ”
Xia Ling replied, “If you have an opinion, you shouldn't have let me choose in the first place . ” She pushed the wine list aside and sulked as she leaned on the sofa .
Pei Ziheng's voice turned soft . “She'll have that then . ”
Her expression improved .
Feng Kun asked, “Chairman, what do you want to drink?”
Usually, Pei Ziheng did not really drink and randomly chose a drink . In the dim candlelight, Xia Ling glanced at the name of the alcohol and asked Feng Kun, “Is this strong?”
Feng Kun replied, “The drink chairman chose is mild and has a low alcohol content . ” In front of Pei Ziheng, he did not want to show how familiar he was with Xia Ling and only treated her as a typical female celebrity whom he had worked with before .
Xia Ling looked at Pei Ziheng unhappily . “Are you here to drink alcohol or water?”
The small tantrum she threw really resembled her past self, and it softened Pei Ziheng's heart in an instant . He could never resist her when she was like that . Thus, he said to Feng Kun, “I'll have the same drink as Xiao Ling . ”
Feng Kun glanced at Xia Ling and left when he saw her satisfactory look .
Soon, two colorful cocktails were served . The gorgeous colors were like an interweaving of ice and fire . The elegant glass was decorated with ice cubes and lemons and looked radiant in the light . Feng Kun personally handed one of the glasses to Xia Ling and another to Pei Ziheng .
Xia Ling took the glass and lightly shook it . A clear and melodious sound was heard when the ice cubes knocked against the glass . She looked at Pei Ziheng and curved her lips into an angle that was in between a smile and a sneer . “I can't believe that we would be sitting here and drinking together today . ”
“The world is unpredictable,” Pei Ziheng said and clinked his glass with hers .
She lifted her thin wrist and touched him gently before pouring the drink directly into her mouth . Unexpectedly, the burning feeling in her memory did not occur, replaced by a particularly soft taste . She was shocked and surprised . The drink she ordered was clearly the most potent “Deep Sea Scarlet Flame . ” Why was the taste so light?
She lifted her head and heard Pei Ziheng say, “Don't drink such a strong drink so quickly . ”
She suppressed the shock in her heart and said, “I've already drunk it all . What about you?”
She inverted the empty glass and placed it on the table .
Pei Ziheng looked at her arrogant movements and smiled indulgently . He also drank the alcohol in one shot like her and placed the inverted glass on the table . However, his eyebrows furrowed a little .
“Is it very strong?” she asked .
Pei Ziheng received the most stringent and elite education, self-discipline, and etiquette training . Besides, before Xia Ling passed away, he usually did not drink and had a low alcohol tolerance . At this point, after hearing Xia Ling's question, he did not hide this fact . “You know that I usually don't drink these . You should also drink less because it can hurt your body easily . ”
The drink seemed to be very strong .
Xia Ling did not understand why the drinks looked the same, but her drink tasted as sweet as syrup while Pei Ziheng's drink was burning . The glass in his hand was probably the true “Deep Sea Scarlet Flame,” and hers was probably without alcohol . Xia Ling guessed it was Feng Kun who did this, but she did not know why he did that . However, it suited her plan .
She cracked a smile and asked the waiter to refill their glasses . “We'll have two more glasses of the same drink . ”
He brought over another two glasses .
The glass he gave Xia Ling was still sweet like syrup with a slight alcohol taste, but it was not strong . However, the drink that was given to Pei Ziheng was the real spirit . After the second drink, his face turned a little red .
