She looked like an adorable bunny, so cute that one couldn't help but want to take a bite out of her.
"But I'm not as smart as you. You're amazing," Lu Chuanbai reached out and gently stroked Xu Qingqing's earlobe.
"You're just trying to flatter me," Xu Qingqing slapped Lu Chuanbai's hand away and reached out for the wine again.
"Okay, you've had enough. No more," Lu Chuanbai grabbed Xu Qingqing's hands.
"No, I want more."
Xu Qingqing was addicted to the wine and kept reaching out for it.
Lu Chuanbai raised his hand to signal the attendant to leave.
Just as Xu Qingqing was throwing a tantrum, the host on the stage announced the start of the second half of the auction.
"The 16th item is a Qing Dynasty vase donated by Mrs. Wang."
The vase was entirely green, with a thick glass cover over it, making it hard to determine its true quality.
"This vase is so beautiful. It must be from an official kiln of the Qing Dynasty. The color is extremely difficult to fire..."
"I didn't expect Mrs. Wang to donate such a valuable vase. You're so kind-hearted."
Zhuang Yutong showered Mrs. Wang with compliments, which made her beam with pleasure.
Hearing Zhuang Yutong's flattery, the drunk Xu Qingqing couldn't control herself and let out a snort of laughter.
Xu Qingqing's laughter was particularly noticeable in the quiet venue, and Lu Chuanbai didn't stop her.
"Qingqing, what are you laughing at?"
"I'm laughing because it's a fake!"
"A fake?"
"Xu Qingqing said it's a fake!"
"It can't be. The appraiser just verified it as genuine. Mrs. Wang is such a generous person. She wouldn't fool us with a fake."
Xu Qingqing's voice was loud enough for many people present to hear.
Mrs. Wang, who was sitting in the front row, stiffened instantly, feeling hot and cold in turns.
She didn't even dare to turn around to look at Xu Qingqing, for fear that Xu Qingqing would reveal the evidence that it was a fake.
That damned bitch!
She had messed up her plan again! Why did she always have to go against her!
"Why is it a fake?"
Lu Chuanbai was intrigued and encouraged the drunk Xu Qingqing to continue.
"The color looks so fake. The official kilns would never produce such an inferior color. And this vase has a flat mouth. There was no such style in the Qing Dynasty..."
"If you're going to use a fake to pass it off as real, you should at least learn about the popular vase shapes of the Qing Dynasty."
Under the influence of the alcohol, Xu Qingqing was extremely bold and disdainfully curled her lips.
Looking at Xu Qingqing's disappointed expression, Lu Chuanbai wore a doting smile on his face and picked her up horizontally.
As he walked, Lu Chuanbai left behind an insincere apology.
"Sorry, everyone. Qingqing is drunk. Don't take what she said to heart."
Then Lu Chuanbai carried Xu Qingqing away, leaving the people on the scene looking at each other in dismay.
Those who wanted to buy the vase had second thoughts, afraid of being seen as fools.
Those who didn't want to buy it started to mock Zhuang Yutong's professional ability and Mrs. Wang for trying to sell a fake.
All in all, this charity auction banquet had been ruined by Xu Qingqing and Lu Chuanbai.
Lu Chuanbai stuffed Xu Qingqing into the car and fastened her seatbelt.
Looking at Xu Qingqing's pink lips, Lu Chuanbai leaned over and kissed her twice.
"You did a good job just now. This is your reward," he said before driving home.
The car stopped outside the villa. The two children had been sent to the Xu family by Lu Chuanbai in advance.
Xu Qingqing in the passenger seat was dozing off. Lu Chuanbai reached out and patted her face.
"Qingqing, wake up. We're home."
Xu Qingqing moved her head away from the car window and stared blankly at Lu Chuanbai.
She had drunk too much and was completely drunk.
"You're so handsome," Xu Qingqing reached out and touched Lu Chuanbai's face. Then she boldly kissed him and showed a satisfied smile.
"You're such a flirt," Lu Chuanbai commented with a smile.
He tried to untie Xu Qingqing's seatbelt, but she wrapped her arms around his neck and sniffed the fragrance on him.
"Handsome guy... Can you be my boyfriend?"
Hearing the first half, Lu Chuanbai raised his eyebrows and the corner of his lips twitched up.
Hearing the second half, his lips dropped and his face darkened.
This girl already had him, but she still wanted to find another boyfriend!
How unfaithful!
"Will you or not!"
Xu Qingqing shook Lu Chuanbai's neck.
Lu Chuanbai untied the seatbelt and gritted his teeth in Xu Qingqing's ear, "Sorry, I already have a wife."
"It's okay. I don't mind."
Xu Qingqing happily threw herself into Lu Chuanbai's arms and kissed him wildly.
"We just won't tell your wife."
Lu Chuanbai: "..."
Lu Chuanbai never thought that beneath Xu Qingqing's shy exterior, there was such a bold soul.
If she hadn't been drunk, he might never have had the chance to see this side of her.
"Then what are we waiting for? While my wife is out, let's make it quick."
Lu Chuanbai played along, picked Xu Qingqing up, unlocked the door with the password, and went upstairs.
He threw Xu Qingqing onto the bed and began to slowly take off his coat.
"One last chance. Are you sure?"
"Of course not... Mmm..."
Xu Qingqing was about to refuse in a daze, but before she could finish, Lu Chuanbai kissed her.
Lu Chuanbai breathed hot air into Xu Qingqing's ear, "It's too late."
The next day, Xu Qingqing felt as if her bones were about to fall apart, and her head was splitting with pain.
She sat up, rubbing her messy hair. Lu Chuanbai brought her some hangover soup just in time.
"Drink some. You drank so much last night," Lu Chuanbai handed the soup to Xu Qingqing and helped her gather her hair so she wouldn't eat it.
"Thank you."
Xu Qingqing sipped the soup weakly while rubbing her head.
"I thought the fruit wine was just a sweet drink. I didn't expect it to have such a strong aftereffect."
"Yeah."
Lu Chuanbai responded and sat on the bedside, staring directly at Xu Qingqing.
His look was rather meaningful. Xu Qingqing felt uncomfortable under his gaze and sipped the soup nervously with both hands holding the bowl.
After finishing the soup, Xu Qingqing asked in a low voice, "I didn't do anything embarrassing last night, did I?"
She remembered exposing Zhuang Yutong, but her memories after that were fragmented. She really didn't want to recall them.
Lu Chuanbai massaged Xu Qingqing's temples and simply said, "Think about it. You'll be in for a surprise."
"A surprise." Xu Qingqing tried to recall despite the headache.
She vaguely remembered what she had said and how she had acted like a flirt, praising Lu Chuanbai for being so handsome...
How embarrassing!
Xu Qingqing's face turned red and then pale. She pretended to drink the soup to relieve the awkwardness and even bit the bowl, making a creaking sound.
"Remember?"
Xu Qingqing buried her head in shame and didn't dare to meet Lu Chuanbai's gaze. Lu Chuanbai snorted with laughter and took the bowl out of her hand.
"Stop drinking. There's no more. Come down and have breakfast."
"Okay."
Xu Qingqing bit her lips and hurriedly put on her slippers.
