Chapter 2853: Chapter 2853: Accident (8)

If she could, she would rush up and tear Meimei’s face apart. Yet, Zhong Nianhua had given a strict order early on that if she caused an uproar today, even the Zhong Family wouldn’t protect her.

She could only endure!

"Cough, cough—"

The fish meat Meimei had in her mouth earlier got caught when she heard Youyou’s words, making her cough violently. In a hurry, she grabbed the glass of red wine beside her and took several hearty gulps.

After drinking two glasses in a row, she felt a bit better.

As she put the wine glass down, she hadn’t yet realized that counting the glass she had just toasted with Zhong Nianhua, she had already gulped down three glasses of red wine, and the alcohol was slowly kicking in, reddening her small face.

"Why are you eating in such a hurry? No one’s competing with you." Dan Tingye’s deep voice was very sexy, as if he was reprimanding her, but if listened carefully, it sounded indulgent as he gently patted her back.

"..."

Meimei finally managed to catch her breath, relieved she had dodged a disaster, not even bothering to glare at the culprit.

Looking at the carefully selected fish meat on her plate, she couldn’t bear to leave it uneaten, hesitated for a few seconds, only to see Dan Tingye effortlessly read her thoughts, pick up the fish, and put it into his own mouth.

"I’ll eat it for you, so it won’t go to waste." His magnetic voice, like a cello, was melodious and pleasant.

Meimei watched him eat with such grace and elegance that she couldn’t help but lose herself, staring at him and forgetting to look away.

Beside her, Jiang Nan’s long, peach-blossom eyes were slightly narrowed, holding a glass of red wine, gently swirling it, appearing casual yet never taking his eyes off Meimei.

Seeing her eyes and heart solely focused on Dan Tingye, never once resting on him, his heart clenched slightly. He tugged at his tie, suddenly wanting to get some fresh air outside.

"I’ve heard there’s a specially cultivated protective forest behind the Zhong Family’s estate, like an ancient formation. I wonder if I can take a look." Jiang Nan spoke calmly, looking at the butler standing nearby.

He had been there when Dan Tingye and Meimei went missing for an entire night, he went there searching for them.

But at the time, he hadn’t thought Meimei would so quickly be with Dan Tingye...

Jiang Nan lowered his gaze, ceasing to dwell on those memories of changed circumstances, and stood up.

"A protective forest? Does the Zhong Family’s estate have such an interesting place? I’ll go with you and have a look!" Youyou’s bright eyes lit up, and without another word, she stood up.

To her, the best formation was better than any gourmet meal!

"I can’t make this decision; I must ask the master first. Young Master Jiang Nan, Miss Youyou, please wait. I’ll be right back." The butler hurriedly walked upstairs.

Jiang Nan’s eyes flickered, ignoring Youyou, he took steps directly towards the estate’s rear garden.

Of course, Youyou wouldn’t miss her chance to follow, quickly chasing after him.

"Tingye, should we follow them outside?" Meimei blushed, tilting her small head to one side, feeling a bit confused as she asked.

She felt dizzy, as though she was about to fall asleep, yet she clearly wasn’t tired...

Meimei propped her cheeks up with her hands, somewhat dazedly looking at Dan Tingye beside her.

"How much did you drink?"

Dan Tingye squinted his charming eyes, looking at her flushed little face, his brows furrowing.
