Throughout the banquet, Lu Ci stayed glued to Su Yao, not leaving her side for a moment.
Su Yao tried both gentle and stern approaches to no avail and ultimately could only resign herself to his presence, choosing to ignore it completely.
When Su Wanxin walked over, Lu Ci was stopping Su Yao from drinking. He had seen women who could hold their liquor, but her... she was a first.
"Enough ancestor, no more drinking."
Lu Ci grabbed the wine glass from Su Yao's hand, and just as he saw Su Wanxin, he passed the glass to her as if offering her a drink.
Su Wanxin pursed her lips into a smile and shook her head: "I'm abstaining from alcohol."
Lu Ci raised his eyebrows, looking her up and down.
He had known this girl for over a decade; she wasn't as resistant to alcohol as Su Yao, but she definitely had a taste for it.
Whenever they went out in the past, she'd sneak drinks behind Fu Shihan's back, afraid of being scolded.
