Chapter 218 - Friendly Fued (2/2)

”Five.” Doctor Lou countered haughtily raising his eyebrows, signaling it was five or no deal.

”Five.” Tung Mei acknowledged with a fake smile as her face twitched in annoyance.

Doctor Lou chuckled and then put the wine jar back on the table, now appeased and in great spirit. He looked at Lei Xing's frowning face and grabbed a free cup and filled it as he said, ”Xing Xing, you shouldn't be frowning at a time like this.”

Lei Xing, who had not been paying attention blinked up at him when she heard her name, and then she knit her brows.

{...Now you want to talk?... And this ”Xing Xing” thing. Honestly, do I look like a 2-year-old to you? -_-)'...}

Doctor Lou placed the cup of wine in front of Lei Xing with a grin, ”Here, have some wine~ It is a time for celebration! How about a toast? I would have had a meal ready for you but...I got distracted.” He added squinting at Tung Mei, obviously pointing her out as the distraction. Then he perked up and smiled at her as he excitedly asked, ”Ah, have you heard?... Xing Xing and Xiao Kai are getting married~” He finished with an amused chuckle.

Tung Mei apparently did not share in his amus.e.m.e.nt and simply flashed him a half-smile as she just reached for the jar of wine in his hand, muttering, ”You must be ecstatic...”

Doctor Lou happily released the jar and turned back to Lei Xing, ”I knew from the first day I set eyes on you that you were destined for greatness, Empress hehehehe~ You're in love with him now, aren't you? She's definitely not going to leave him now, you'll see~” Doctor Lou said snickering to Tung Mei, who gave another half-smile, obviously just humoring him as she refilled her cup.

Lei Xing blinked and then knit her brows, ”Did I ever tell you I wanted to leave?”

Doctor Lou froze for a moment, then grabbed the jar from Tung Mei and topped up his cup, ”You...mentioned...Ah, remember you asked me if it was possible for you to go back...That time. Going back means you wanted to return. Returning means you wanted to leave him...Easy connection to make and I am quite so brilliant so...Naturally.”

Doctor Lou flashed Lei Xing a grin and then picked up his cup, sipped his wine and resumed glaring at Bi Lu. Bi Lu blinked in apprehension at the return of Doctor Lou's glare, but he did not break the eye contact this time and simply straightened up even more.

Doctor Lou smiled in amus.e.m.e.nt and squinted even more at Bi Lu, obviously taking pleasure in the other's discomfort.

Meanwhile, Lei Xing sat there scrutinizing him, her gaze then moved over to Tung Mei, who was resting her head on her hand as she leisurely sipped her wine. She really seemed too comfortable with Doctor Lou and Lei Xing was not sure what to make of this whole situation. She had her answers before she could even begin her planned interrogation. But she was not convinced, there was something else but her mind was reacting more slowly than she would like at the moment and it was irritating her.

As she stared at Tung Mei, Lei Xing suddenly raised her eyebrows as something, the thing finally clicked in her mind.

{...Oh!...Makes sense...Definitely does make sense...But...}

Lei Xing narrowed her eyes at Doctor Lou and began humming in her mind as she picked up the cup. But Doctor Lou continued fixating on Bi Lu behind her, she sipped the wine and then smiled, ”Great wine. The best I've ever had~”

The compliment immediately arrested Doctor Lou's attention, he chuckled and smugly explained, ”Naturally, this is my personal brew, carefully manufactured over many, many years. Immaculate taste and impossibly IRREPLACEABLE...” He stressed the last word as he squinted at Tung Mei, then happily picked up the jar and refilled Lei Xing's cup, ”Drink more, you can have as much as want hehe~”

Lei Xing smiled and nodded in appreciation. Then as she picked up her cup, she casually commented, ”You two seem quite close...”

Doctor Lou grinned and smugly continued, ”Naturally, she's my precious - Ow! Why did you kick me?!” He exclaimed as he glared at Tung Mei.

”My leg slipped...And it didn't hurt.” Tung Mei said narrowing her eyes at him, then she turned to Lei Xing and smiled, ”He's my godfather.”

”Godfather?” Lei Xing asked with raised eyebrows, then she glanced at Doctor Lou for confirmation.

Doctor Lou glanced at Lei Xing then flatly repeated, ”Godfather” to confirm it. His discontent was quite clear in his voice and on his pouting face. He turned to the side again, ignoring the two girls and went back to Bi Lu, this time glaring darts his way.
