Although Chi Cunxu is a rather taciturn person and always has a cold look on his face that says "stay away from strangers", he is surprisingly good at taking care of others.

For example, at this moment, he was sitting opposite Mo Li, slowly helping her cut the charcoal-grilled lamb chops into small pieces.

This man looked particularly pleasing to the eye no matter what he did, even when he was cutting meat, he looked extremely dignified and calm, holding the silver cutlery in his slender and powerful hands, and the cutting movements seemed particularly flexible. He lowered his eyebrows and focused on the movements in his hands, and the knife, fork and cutlery did not collide with any unpleasant sounds from beginning to end. His eyelashes, which made many women feel inferior, cast two shadows under the light, making his already three-dimensional facial features even more profound.

Mo Li couldn't help but sigh that she had such good taste.

Soon, a plate of neatly cut lamb chops was slowly pushed in front of her. Each piece looked tender and juicy.

"Thank you, sir." Mo Li smiled sweetly and accepted his feeding with peace of mind. She took a bite and then exclaimed for the Nth time tonight: "It's so delicious - sir, meeting you is definitely the happiest thing in my life."

Chi Cunxu replied: "Really? As long as you like it."

Although his expression was calm, the slightly red tips of his ears betrayed his inner joy.

Although others always felt that he never showed his emotions and it was hard to figure out what he was thinking, but in front of Mo Li, all this seemed to be untrue.

……

The waiter served Mo Li the juice she liked to drink, and served Chi Cunxu a bottle of red wine.

Mo Li looked at his orange juice, then his eyes fell on his red wine, and pouted slightly to express his dissatisfaction: "Sir, I am an adult."

Chi Cunxu raised his head slightly: "Hmm? I know."

Mo Li added unwillingly: "I have already graduated from high school."

Chi Cunxu was stunned for a moment, then followed her gaze to his own hands.

He shook the bottle of red wine in his hand: "So, you want to try this too?"

Mo Li nodded eagerly. She didn't want Chi Cunxu to always treat her like a child.

Fortunately, Chi Cunxu always agreed to her requests and immediately asked the waiter to bring another wine glass.

"Cheers!"

The two raised their glasses to celebrate Mo Li's entry into the next stage of his life.

……

As an adult woman who had lived for more than 20 years in her previous life, this was certainly not the first time Mo Li had drunk alcohol.

Especially during the years when she was sold by the Chu family to Xingyun Film and Television Company as an artist, she was forced to participate in many drinking parties. In order to avoid being taken advantage of by those wretched men at the drinking parties, she could only try every possible way to stop herself from getting drunk, and in the end she forced herself to have a huge capacity.

At that time, her freedom was completely in the hands of others. Drinking was a kind of mental torture for her. There was even a time when she couldn't help but feel scared whenever she saw a wine glass.

And in this life, she finally has the ability to take her destiny into her own hands. No one can control her anymore, and no one can force her to do anything she doesn't want to do.

Mo Li raised his glass again and again, and couldn't help but feel excited about his rebirth.

Unfortunately, she seemed to have forgotten that she was not a big drinker at that moment. After she drank just one glass of wine, her fair cheeks began to turn red uncontrollably.

Soon, Chi Cunxu also discovered that Mo Li had obviously overestimated her alcohol tolerance. After a few sips of wine, her big watery eyes quickly half-closed, and seemed to be starting to lose focus, and she was slightly drunk.

"Sir... let me tell you a secret - do you know? Meeting you again... is such an incredible... such a lucky thing for me..."

Although Mo Li was not drunk yet, under the influence of alcohol, he almost blurted out the matter of rebirth.

Fortunately, Chi Cunxu only regarded her as a drunkard with a poor alcohol tolerance. He still looked at her with doting eyes and said in a low and gentle voice: "Ari, I have something to tell you too."

Mo Li's cheeks and head were hot. She leaned close to Chi Cunxu and asked in a gentle voice, "Ah? What's the matter?"

The distance between them suddenly shortened. Chi Cunxu could almost feel the warm breath from her breathing. Along with her faint body fragrance, his heartbeat also quickened.

Chi Cunxu paused, suddenly stood up, and took out a square and exquisite little box from his pocket.

Then, under the romantic and warm lighting of the restaurant, he slowly leaned down and knelt on one knee in front of Mo Li, his eyes devout:

"Ari, meeting you is my greatest fortune... Although it's too early to tell you this now, I still hope you can give me an answer after thinking it over - are you really willing to marry me?"

Under the candlelight, his dark green pupils lost their icy coldness and became sincere and warm.

Seeing his serious expression, Mo Li sobered up immediately. She squinted her eyes and looked at the ring in his hand. It was bright and shining, just like its owner.

Mo Li was a smart person. She knew that Chi Cunxu must be worried that she was too young and would make impulsive decisions. Although she had previously stated that she was willing to fulfill the engagement and marry him, she could not rule out the possibility that it was just a plan to protect her rights after she escaped from the Chu family and became helpless. She might regret it in the future.

He liked her and admired her, so he didn't want to tie her down to himself, didn't want to see her make any decision against her will, and was willing to give her a chance to make another choice.

After a pause, Chi Cunxu smiled and told her: "Ali, you are still young, but marriage is a lifelong event, you have enough time to think about it carefully. Of course, even if you don't accept my ring, I will still treat you as well as before. I will treat you as my own sister and take care of you all my life..."

"I don't want to--" Mo Li almost blurted out.

Although he had already considered the possibility of being rejected, the light in Chi Cunxu's eyes immediately dimmed.

But the next second, Mo Li's voice sounded in his ears again:

"I don't want to be your biological sister!" Mo Li pouted and looked at him with some dissatisfaction, narrowing her eyes slightly and questioning him with a cute expression:

"Sir, tell me honestly: you gave me so many expensive gifts, helped me time and time again, accompanied me to review my homework every day, and did so many romantic things for me... Is it just because you want me to be your sister?"

"Of course not." Chi Cunxu denied it immediately.

Mo Li blinked slyly: "So... of course I am the same."

Chi Cunxu's breathing stagnated, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "What you mean is--"

Mo Li stretched out a hand towards him and said in a coquettish tone: "Why don't you put it on for me quickly?"
