No matter how disgusted she was on the surface, Princess Zhaoyan was very satisfied with the two gifts given by Yan Ling.
Liang He seemed to have something to do today. After sending someone to deliver a gift, he gave Yan Ling a few words and left. Liang Yi, on the other hand, was looking at Yan Ling with interest, while Yan Shuang stayed beside Liang Yi like a little bird.
Although Liang He was not here, Yan Ling had nothing to worry about. On the one hand, there would be no one so ignorant in Princess Chaoyan's territory.
On the other hand, it is also because these young ladies and young masters in the capital always look up but not down. Even if there is any conflict, they will not cause trouble in such an occasion.
What's more, if you really offend Princess Zhaoyan, it is not impossible to blatantly retaliate afterwards, so everyone at the banquet restrained themselves and looked kind of amicable.
However, it seemed that someone was planning to get restless. Not long after, Bai Xueying actually walked up to Yan Ling with a glass of wine.
When Yan Ling saw Bai Xueying walking straight towards him, he immediately felt something was wrong, but he didn't panic, he just raised his eyebrows.
Bai Xueying also had a smile on her face at this time, which made it hard to tell that it was fake, but there was something in her eyes that would never change.
"Miss Yan, we didn't get along happily before. I think it was me who offended me a lot. On this great day for Princess Zhaoyan, how about we put an end to our past feud?" Bai Xueying walked up to Yan Ling and said with a sincere face. .
Although Yan Ling curled his lips in disdain in his heart, he didn't show it on his face. Although Bai Xueying's behavior has convinced most people, Yan Ling will not be deceived so easily.
If the past things are said to be in the past, they are also in the past, but some things are a hurdle in my heart. What Bai Xueying said last time at the Censor's Mansion, her attitude seemed to make her hate herself to the core.
Even if this matter was excluded, Yan Ling had already made up his mind to fight Bai Xueying to the end no matter what. In Yan Ling's eyes, Bai Xueying's behavior at this time was nothing more than pretentious and not worthy of belief.
No matter what he thinks in his heart, Yan Ling also knows that when soldiers come to stop him, water comes to cover him up. Now that the other party "intends to seek peace," if you continue to be assertive, you will be considered unreasonable by others.
"What Miss Bai said is just a small friction. I don't care about what happened before. Please don't mind Miss Bai." Yan Ling said with the same smile.
Yan Ling really doesn't care about his image in other people's minds, so he can't let others smear him for nothing.
Then, Yan Ling also stood up and raised his wine glass, making a gesture to drink the glass of wine with Bai Xueying.
However, at this moment, Bai Xueying stopped Yan Ling's movement, and then handed the wine glass in her hand to Yan Ling.
Bai Xueying saw that everyone around her was paying attention to this, so she raised her voice and said: "Since it is an apology, then naturally I have to drink this glass of wine to Miss Yan. If Miss Yan is willing to forgive me, please drink this glass of wine." .”
Yan Ling looked at the smile on Bai Xueying's face and suddenly felt something was wrong. It's ridiculous enough for Bai Xueying to run up to him for no reason and say that she wants to get back together with him, forget about acting, but why does she have to let herself drink this glass of wine
Yan Ling is not a fool. She can figure out the reason after just thinking about it. Bai Xueying probably put something in the wine and deliberately wanted to make herself look bad, so she came to her at this time. .
Looking at Bai Xueying's proud face again, Yan Ling was even more sure of what he had just thought. Bai Xueyin didn't expect Yan Ling not to see it, but now that so many people were watching around her, this was what Bai Xueying grasped. .
If Yan Ling had refused the glass of wine when Bai Xueying had already shown weakness, he would have been accused of being indulgent and capricious and ignorant of the ways of the world.
What's more, this was at the birthday party of Yan Ling's good friend, Princess Zhaoyan. If things go wrong, Bai Xueying will probably use the situation to her advantage, making Princess Zhaoyan equally unable to step down.
If he wanted to avoid such a thing, Yan Ling had only one option to drink that glass of wine.
But he didn't even figure out what was in the wine, so how could Yan Ling drink it casually? Even if it wasn't poison, it probably wouldn't be a good thing. Yan Ling couldn't help but think of the aphrodisiac that Liang He had taken in the tunnel last time, and his expression suddenly turned ugly.
"Miss Yan, what do you mean, are you not going to forgive me?" Seeing that Yan Ling didn't respond for a long time, Bai Xueying urged her again, with a hint of crying in her voice.
To others, Bai Xueying's voice clearly sounded like she was about to cry. However, from an angle that none of them could see, Yan Ling could see clearly that Bai Xueying had a proud smile on her face, and there was no trace of aggrievedness at all.
Yan Ling gritted his teeth, but was not angry. Instead, he smiled and said, "If Miss Bai says that I drink this glass of wine, even if I accept your apology, then I really can't drink this glass of wine."
As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately became confused again. Most of them felt that Yan Ling had gone too far. Even if he disliked people and felt uncomfortable, he shouldn't show it in such an occasion. With so many people watching, it's like a slap in the face.
Bai Xueying didn't seem to have expected that Yan Ling would actually say such words. However, the result made Bai Xueying very satisfied. It could be regarded as effortless.
Yan Ling ignored the reactions around him, smiled, and continued: "Didn't I just say it? I'm not angry because of what happened before, so how can I apologize and accept it?"
Yan Ling's answer couldn't be less clever. Coupled with his squinting eyes and smiling face, everyone quickly changed their previous opinions and successfully stunned Bai Xueying.
Bai Xueying gritted her teeth and continued: "But I'm already here, so I still want this glass of wine."
Before Yan Ling could wait for Bai Xueying to finish speaking, he had already poured the wine in his hand into his mouth, and then turned the cup over. It was already empty.
At this moment, Yan Lingcai continued: "The two of us will definitely drink this glass of wine. I'll do it first as a courtesy. Miss Bai, please!"
After Yan Ling finished speaking, he looked at Bai Xueying with burning eyes and made a please gesture with his hand, as if he was sincerely communicating with her.
Having watched the show for so long, Princess Zhaoyan naturally understood that there was something fishy in it. She was worried about Yan Ling before, but now she couldn't help but feel like laughing when she saw how she skillfully resolved it.
"It's good for you two to laugh away your grudges. Just like Miss Bai said before, drink this glass of wine and the past things will be wiped out." Princess Zhaoyan also urged.
