Chapter 995: Unexpected Interference (2/2)

She slowly raised her glass to her lips without realising the abrupt apprehension expressed by her guest.

Mo Ning’s left hand clenched into a tight fist.

No!

A tiny voice gasped inside her.

She tried to stop Lu Zhaoyang…

… but it was already too late.

The glass was already at the edge of her lips as Lu Zhaoyang prepared to down the wine.

Suddenly, a figure appeared out of nowhere and knocked right into Lu Zhaoyang’s arm that was holding the glass.

“Ah!” She lost her grip and the wine glass shattered onto the ground.

The wine spilled all over the floor.

“…”

After a moment of silence, the figure mumbled slowly, “My apologies, I think I’m drunk.”

Yan Sinian took a quick glance at Mo Ning and saw that she looked relieved. Her fist was unclenched.

He then turned to Lu Zhaoyang and made a Western gesture of apology. He spoke with a sincere tone, “Ma’am, please forgive my unruliness. I didn’t mean it.”

“That’s alright.” Lu Zhaoyang was not the fussy kind.

“Thank you,” Yan Sinian said with a smile and then looked at Mo Ning. “I think I need some fresh air, care to walk with me?”

“… Sure.”

Mo Ning did not reject him.

Lu Zhaoyang smiled and offered, “There is a nice garden on the Eastern side, if you’re interested.”

“Thank you.”

Mo Ning gathered herself and replied.

Yan Sinian and Mo Ning left together. No one aside from those two knew of the great danger that was averted just now!

Mo Ning headed for the garden that Lu Zhaoyang mentioned and went to a secluded corner.

With her back facing Yan Sinian, she asked flatly, “Is that why you are here tonight, to stop me?”

Yan Sinian raised an eyebrow and did not reply.

“Since when have you become so nosy?”

Mo Ning turned around and directed an icy stare at him.
