She held the champagne glass and spoke a toast to Long Xingkui:
"Miss Nine, I think my trip to Rhode Island was worthwhile. If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known there was such a lovely little sister beside Xiliang. Miss Nine, you gave me a big surprise~"
Her words were layered with meaning, just like Long Xingkui's.
Lu Xiaoyou reached out, and their glasses clinked.
A crisp sound echoed, and the pale pink liquid in their glasses swayed, as they engaged in a subtle exchange, an undercurrent surging beneath.
Long Xingkui took a sip of champagne and put down her glass, but Lu Xiaoyou drank the champagne in the glass to the last drop.
She turned the glass outward to show Long Xingkui.
Long Xingkui hesitated for a moment. According to Chinese drinking customs, when someone finishes their drink, the other person must do the same.
Long Xingkui then drank all the champagne in her glass in one go.
