Chapter 192 Coaxing the Child
Hearing her say that, Lu Tingnian also raised his wine glass.
Seeing that his glass was filled with the same dry red wine as hers, Qiao Luo quickly said, "You should drink tea instead of wine."
After saying that, without waiting for Lu Tingnian's consent, he called over a staff member and asked for a cup of tea.
After the staff brought the tea over, she handed it to Lu Tingnian, clinked glasses with him, and said, "I'll drink this first as a sign of respect."
Before Lu Tingnian could react, he tilted his head back and drank the red wine in his glass in one gulp.
Lu Tingnian was about to remind her that the wine had a strong aftereffect and that she should drink it slowly, but before he could say anything, she had already swallowed all the wine in her glass.
He had no choice but to change his question, "Are you... alright?"
Qiao Luo shook her head: "It's nothing."
Although she doesn't have a high alcohol tolerance, she can still drink a little dry red wine without any problem.
But before he could finish speaking, he felt dizzy.
Qiao Luo scratched her head, her expression changing. "Wait a minute, isn't this red wine? Red wine has a very low alcohol content."
She stared at the empty wine glass in front of her, puzzled.
Lu Tingnian: "..."
He thought to himself, "That's just ordinary red wine. This time, I've prepared a top-quality estate's own vintage."
Looking at the woman's increasingly flushed cheeks, Lu Tingnian shook his head helplessly. "Drink some water to calm down."
He handed him his glass of water.
Qiao Luo took the drink and felt it wasn't quite enough; she was just too happy today.
After all, what could be more important than Lu Tingnian's recovery?
Thinking this, she said, "Water doesn't taste good at all; red wine has much better flavor."
As she spoke, she reached for the wine bottle to pour herself a drink, but Lu Tingnian stopped her.
"Qiao Luo, didn't you have good news to tell me?"
Qiao Luo then remembered the important matter and stopped pouring the wine. "That's right, I have good news to tell you, Lu Tingnian. Listen carefully, your illness will be cured soon."
Qiao Luo said, her breath reeking of alcohol.
Lu Tingnian had actually guessed it long ago. Although he didn't know exactly what Sang Zan had said to her, he could guess that it was something like this.
However, judging from Qiao Luo's reaction at this moment, she must have believed it.
"Then...do you believe it?"
Lu Tingnian asked tentatively.
Qiao Luo: "I believe you, of course I believe you."
After all, it was the doctor who said it; why wouldn't she believe it?
With her accurate answer, Lu Tingnian finally felt relieved.
"And what about you? Do you believe it?" Qiao Luo asked.
Lu Tingnian: "Of course I believe it too."
"That's good. Do you think this is worth celebrating with a drink?"
As she spoke, she poured more wine into her glass. This time, Lu Tingnian didn't stop her; he could tell she was genuinely happy.
"Come on, let's have another drink."
As she was about to raise her glass to drink again, Lu Tingnian stopped her this time.
"Don't drink too fast, drink slowly."
Qiao Luo said, "Don't worry, I can still hold my liquor."
As she spoke, she downed the glass of wine in one gulp.
Lu Tingnian: "..."
After drinking that glass of wine, Qiao Luo was truly drunk. She stared at Lu Tingnian in front of her with her big, innocent eyes for a long while before saying, "Huh? How come you've become two?"
Lu Tingnian: "..."
"You're drunk." He tried to take the bottle of wine from her arms, but Qiao Luo stopped him.
"I...I'm not drunk, I can still drink."
She stubbornly held onto the bottle of wine, refusing to let go.
"Okay, okay, you're not drunk. Give me the bottle, I'll pour you some wine, okay?" Lu Tingnian said patiently and gently, as if coaxing a child.
