Ti Zi took the opportunity when Sui Yan was away to run cheerfully around the large lawn a few times, and then gracefully lay back in her original spot before Sui Yan returned.
As soon as Sui Yan came over, she put a pile of fried chicken, cola, and snacks in front of Ti Zi: "Hmph!"
Ti Zi looked innocent: "Woof?"
What's wrong with Yan Yan?
Sui Yan complained: "It's that guy studying physics next door, someone called Su Ziye. I ran into him at the airport before, and then I saw him again when I was out shopping!"
Ti Zi seemed pensive. It did have some impression of this Su Ziye, who looked quite gentle, sometimes resembling Xu Yi.
But for some reason, it just felt that this Su Ziye wasn't as likable as Xu Yi.
Sui Yan stroked Ti Zi's fur: "He even called me Yan, Yan Yan, so disgusting!"
Ti Zi nodded in agreement: "Woof!"
Yan Yan was clearly its exclusive way of addressing her!
The two were of one mind in their grievance, furiously complaining about Su Ziye.
The butler had been watching for a while, and finally spoke up weakly: "Miss Sui, if you're going to eat fried chicken..."
Sui Yan narrowed her eyes, her gaze full of menace: "If you don't let me eat fried chicken, I'll go to the wine cellar and steal wine to drink! I've been eyeing those few bottles of red wine for a long time."
The butler: "!!"
He immediately changed his tune: "Miss Sui, take your time eating. If it's not enough, I'll have the kitchen make more for you!"
Sui Yan nodded in satisfaction: "That's better."
The butler looked at Sui Yan mournfully, deciding to go and tell Bai Yuanmo about this later!
Sui Yan pretended not to notice the butler's mournful little glances, and took out a pack of beef jerky from her pocket: "Ti Zi, these are the snacks I brought for you."
The butler instinctively spoke up: "Miss Sui, we've also specially made a lot of beef jerky for Ti Zi, all made from the freshest and best quality beef."
Sui Yan was a little curious: "I'd like to try some too."
The butler said confidently: "Certainly! We've also prepared a lot of beef jerky in various flavors for you!"
He had guessed it from the start~
Sui Yan clapped her hands: "Great, at least you've done something right for once!"
The butler: "?"
Sui Yan made the butler go into self-denial mode that day, but her retribution came the next day.
She looked at the two people sitting in the reception room with a bewildered expression: "You guys?"
Qi Linhan and Su Ziye both smiled at her at the same time, and spoke simultaneously: "Yan."
Sui Yan immediately turned to look at the butler.
The butler spread his hands innocently: "Mr. Qi has a partnership with our estate, so it's only natural that we should entertain him properly when he visits."
Sui Yan tilted her chin towards Su Ziye: "What about him?"
Su Ziye obligingly said: "Yan, I came here specifically to hang out with you. Today is a festival around here, do you want to go out and play?"
Sui Yan was convinced that the butler was taking revenge on her, otherwise how could he so easily let someone like Su Ziye, whose background was unclear, into their estate?
However...
The butler was indeed trying to stir up trouble, but with the premise that he had already thoroughly investigated Su Ziye's background.
Although Sui Yan always defied him, he still couldn't bring himself to dislike this little lady who was even younger than his own daughter.
Sui Yan had no idea what the butler was thinking. She waved her hand dismissively: "You guys play here, I'll go first."
Su Ziye got up without hesitation: "Yan, can I go play with you?"
Sui Yan didn't even turn back: "No."
Qi Linhan directly took big strides to Sui Yan's side, lightly grasping her wrist: "Yan."
Sui Yan looked cold: "Let go."
Not only did Qi Linhan not let go, he even tightened his grip. He spoke before Sui Yan could: "Yan, I'll take you to drink."
Sui Yan was taken aback, pursing her lips and looking a little hesitant.
"No! Children can't drink alcohol!" the butler protested indignantly from the side.
Sui Yan retorted: "I'm already twenty years old, who are you calling a child?"
The butler: "..."
Qi Linhan smiled with crinkled eyes: "Yan, so do you agree?"
Su Ziye was getting a little anxious: "Yan..."
Sui Yan decided to leave Su Ziye some face: "Sorry, I have something to do today."
Su Ziye's eyes instantly dimmed: "Alright then..."
Qi Linhan gently tugged at Sui Yan, and she just followed him out.
Qi Linhan said in an undertone: "That person just now seemed a bit strange."
Sui Yan couldn't be bothered to respond to Qi Linhan: "Of course, he's quite similar to you guys, good at pouring tea."
Qi Linhan averted his gaze guiltily: "Who's like him?"
He hadn't expected that Yan had been able to tell all along who among them was a "green tea" (flirt)!
Sui Yan rolled her eyes: "Then why are you feeling guilty?"
Qi Linhan quietly changed the subject: "What kind of alcohol do you want to drink?"
Sui Yan said lazily: "The usual."
Qi Linhan secretly glanced at their hands clasped together, smiling a bit foolishly: "Okay."
Sui Yan looked around: "Where are you taking me to drink?"
Qi Linhan thought for a moment: "Just down the street from here, I opened a bar there."
Sui Yan was a little puzzled: "I've never seen you come to this area often before. How do you have a villa and a bar here now?"
Qi Linhan fell silent for a moment: "Because you really wanted to come here in your previous life."
Her wish from her past life...
Sui Yan was stunned for a moment, then mocked: "I was just saying it casually back then, you actually took it seriously?"
Qi Linhan was quite earnest: "So do you want to go?"
Sui Yan answered without hesitation: "No."
Before Qi Linhan could feel disappointed, she added: "It's too far, let's go steal wine from the butler's cellar and drink it."
Qi Linhan clutched his little heart: "Okay."
It was only then that he could truly smile: "The wine the butler makes is very good."
Sui Yan smiled meaningfully: "I know, I just stole a bottle last night."
The two snuck into the estate's underground wine cellar like thieves and stole several bottles of wine, then hid in the back garden to share the loot.
Sui Yan looked around for a while, then said to Qi Linhan: "Wait for me a sec."
She nimbly turned a corner and slipped into the kitchen, stealing two extra-large cups on her way out.
Qi Linhan looked at the two cups in front of him, almost as big as teapots, and doubted his life choices: "Yan, did you have your eye on these two cups early on?"
Sui Yan handed him one: "Shh, keep it down, these are the Cook Lady's two favorite cups."
Qi Linhan secretly smiled: "All right."
If the butler saw this scene, he would definitely shout angrily that these two were "inseparable lovebirds".
Qi Linhan considerately poured Sui Yan half a cup of wine. Sui Yan frowned: "Who do you look down upon? Pour me a full cup!"
Qi Linhan obediently filled her cup, then poured himself a full cup as well.
Sui Yan raised her cup with difficulty: "Cheers!"
Qi Linhan suppressed a smile: "Cheers."
Sui Yan drank, then sneakily went to the kitchen and stole a bunch of food.
These two unknowingly almost prepared an entire feast.
After drinking half a cup of wine, Qi Linhan suddenly stopped: "Yan, that Su Ziye is not a good person."
Sui Yan took a big sip of wine: "Yeah, apart from you, all others are not good people."
Qi Linhan touched his nose: "That's not what I mean. I'm saying he has strong ulterior motives for getting close to you."
Sui Yan remained unmoved: "Aren't you the same?"
Qi Linhan conceded: "All right."
Sui Yan pondered and said thoughtfully: "Rest assured, even if I don't end up with you, I won't choose him."
She said critically: "Su Ziye is not as good-looking as you, not as rich as you, not as tall as you, and not as smart as you!"
In fact, there was another point - Su Ziye was also not as good to her as Qi Linhan.
Qi Linhan smiled helplessly: "Although I'm glad that in your heart he's not as good as me, but won't you really consider me at all?"
