Chapter 96, no choice
After waiting for half an hour, Qi Yao came out of the study and was immediately grabbed aside by Qi Yuan who was guarding the door.

"Sister, sister, let me tell you something!"

"Keep your voice down." Seeing her younger sister's anxious expression, Qi Yao glanced into the study to make sure her father wasn't disturbed, and she dragged Qi Yuan back to the room.

"what happened?"

"Look at this." Qi Yuan handed the phone to his sister, "That guy asked you to meet at night."

Randomly glanced at the phone, Qi Yao corrected her words: "It's not about me, it's about you."

"Oh my, it doesn't matter who you date, anyway, you're the one who will go to the date at night."

Qi Yao: "..." Rubbing her temples with a headache, "Can I not go?"

"No." Qi Yuan said, "If you don't go, he will definitely go to Dad to sue you, maybe in the future Dad will force you to spend time with him and cultivate a relationship..."

The more you say it, the more terrifying it is.

Qi Yao sighed: "I know, I will go."

"Sister, not only do you want to go, but you also have to pretend to be my nature in front of him, otherwise he will definitely reveal his secrets when he sees me next time."

Qi Yao felt even more headache: "I know."

Pretending to be Qi Yuan's temper... is even scarier than having her face a group of business opponents.

"Come on, sister, let's practice smiling first, this time we must smile more naturally, don't be as stiff as last time."

"..."

……

It is night, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the warm wind is smooth.

After greeting her father and all the familiar uncles, Qi Yao changed a glass of champagne and wanted to go to the lounge to rest and steal away.

"Ayao." Qi's father stopped her, his eyes fell on one spot, and he spoke to her in a low voice, "Your Uncle Chu is sick and didn't come over, but Chu Yuan is here, you go to talk to him."

"Father, I..."

"Qi Yao, don't be willful." Seeing her reluctance, Qi's father said coldly, "Marriage with the Chu family is imperative, now is not the time for you to be childish."

"...Yes, father."

Playing a child's temper?
The girls walked all the way, greeting different people gracefully.

When had she ever played childish temper?When did she have the right to play a child's temper?

Putting the champagne glass on the waiter's tray, the girl walked to the back garden.

Since she was a child, she has never had the power to choose, what she likes, what she desires, what path she takes, and who she spends her life with... From the day she was born, her future has been properly arranged by her elders.

Unable to refuse, unable to resist, passively accepted, pushed by countless invisible hands, stumbling forward, not even a chance to stop and take a breath.

——The gorgeous life in the eyes of outsiders brought her only a sense of suffocation of despair.

Perhaps it was more emotional at night, when she saw the man waiting in the corridor of the wisteria, Qi Yao completely forgot what her sister had told her, with a cold face, showing an indifference of being thousands of miles away.

"We met again." Naturally noticing the girl's indifference, Chu Yuan kept a polite distance from her and greeted her politely, "I thought you wouldn't come."

"Didn't you send a WeChat message?" The boy's greeting seemed to her to be a temptation to ask knowingly, Qi Yao sneered, "Young Master Chu invited me personally, do I have a choice?"

"Uh, you said that WeChat message?" Being teased by the girl, Chu Yuan just smiled helplessly, "My invitation is on the condition that you attend the appointment, of course you can choose not to come."

"I wish I could choose!" Qi Yao sneered, "If I could choose, I wouldn't come to this kind of place!"

Chu Yuan was taken aback: "This kind of place refers to tonight's banquet? Or...here?"

Qi Yao blurted back: "It's all the same!"

Chu Yuan: "..."

After the man was silent, the atmosphere suddenly became more awkward.

In the silence, Qi Yao suddenly remembered her identity and the purpose of coming here tonight.

Still... can't do it.

She can't be like Qi Yuan, and turn herself into another person carefree - she can't show the same innocent smile as her younger sister, and she can't express her thoughts and demands as naturally as her...

Compared with the perfect heir of the Qi family, she is more like a complete loser.

With a breath, Qi Yao was about to leave after apologizing, when he heard the man say unhurriedly: "Actually, I don't really like to go to parties in the circle - a friend of mine opened a new bar, if you don't Mind, let's go and have a look together?"

Qi Yao: "..."

In this way, two people who were also unwilling to attend the party sneaked out of the manor while no one was paying attention.

If dad finds out, he will definitely scold her severely, right?

Along the way, this idea has always haunted the girl.

She even thought about turning back halfway.

But if I regretted it, I couldn't say it in the end.

When she arrived at the bar, she heard the blaring music and was bathed in ambiguous lights, and the thought of returning was completely forgotten by her.

The girl who grew up following the family's requirements has never been to a bar. She was exposed to a completely unfamiliar environment for the first time. She was not timid at all. Instead, she felt that her long-locked heart had been completely released.

Here—dimmed lights, loud music, bustling crowds—nobody cared who she was, or told her what she was doing was right or wrong.

She can finally have a moment without being disturbed by others, even if this time is very short.

"Why don't you drink?" The girl lay on the bar and touched the man next to her with her wine glass, "You drink...you're not drunk, are you?"

"I'm not drunk, it's you." Looking at the slurring girl, Chu Yuan found it funny, "You're drunk, Qi Yao."

"I'm not drunk!" The girl rolled her eyes indecently, "I've practiced drinking since I was a child, how could I be drunk?"

"Practice?" Chu Yuan was curious, "You Qi family, do you still want to practice drinking?"

"Of course." Qi Yao took a sip of the wine in the glass, curled her lips, "When you drink enough, you don't have to worry about being tricked at the wine table...my father said it."

"Then, what else have you practiced?"

"Piano, violin, painting, modern dance, calligraphy... My hiccup... I have practiced many things."

Chu Yuan praised sincerely: "...awesome."

"Hehe, let me tell you quietly." The girl wobbled closer to him, looked up at him, and said loudly in a whispering posture, "Actually, I don't like the ones I practice."

Chu Yuan looked down at her, smiled slightly, and said softly, "What do you like?"

"I like photography..." Speaking of her hobby, the girl's eyes are bright and moving, "I like to freeze beautiful things into a moment, so that happiness can be stored."

"Hmm." He chuckled, "That's a good idea."

"Right? Right?" After being recognized, she was happy, "You think it's good too, right?" After she was happy, she patted his chest cautiously, "This is my secret, don't tell others, you know ?”

The girl said, slipping into his arms drunkenly.

Chu Yuan raised his arms to hug him, greeted his friends, and led him out of the bar.

"Where are we going?" The girl walked unsteadily, but she was in great spirits, "Why don't you go eat barbecue? Chu Yuan! Let's go eat barbecue!"

"……I'll walk you home."

"Go home? Don't go home! I'm going to eat barbecue! I can't eat barbecue when I go home... BBQ, barbecue!"

"I'll take you to a barbecue next time..."

"Next time? When is next time?"

"After you sober up."

"..."

……

Because of the hangover, it was already noon the next day when Qi Yao woke up.

The girl sat on the bed, her mind was a little empty, and she couldn't remember what she did last night for a while.

"Sister~" Qi Yuan came in from the door, saw her sister woke up, immediately threw herself on the bed, and yelled excitedly, "Sister, you are so amazing, you even dragged Chu Yuan to drink, and even got drunk - you have my demeanor , give you a thumbs up!"
