"Xin'er, why did you steal the spotlight from me?"
Lin Yanran saw Lin Xin'er toasting ahead of her, and reprimanded her lightly. She already felt guilty, thinking that bringing Qin Shi out was essentially setting him up, so she felt uncomfortable.
Seeing Lin Xin'er directly toast, she wasn't willing to comply. She smiled and offered Qin Shi a cup of tea, saying, "Today I'll use tea instead of wine to express my gratitude to you first."
Qin Shi was slightly stunned. He glanced at the aromatic brandy and, holding the cup of tea, saw that Lin Yanran had already finished hers, so he took a big sip himself.
Witnessing this, Lin Xin'er's big eyes turned. She thought to herself that if Lin Xin'er lingered here today, things might go wrong. If she kept delaying, Qin Shi might notice something, and in the future, getting close to him would be much more difficult.
"Cousin, I need to step out for a moment, to the restroom."
Lin Xin'er excused herself courteously and then left.
