Mina Simmons was afraid that she might laugh uncontrollably and changed the topic immediately. “Mr. Blake, let’s
order now. I’ll get the waiter.” Mina was amused and could not hide her smile when she spoke. She immediately
pressed the service. bell. A waiter came over with the menu. Mina took the menu from the waiter and handed it to
Preston Blake. “Mr. Blake, would you like to order?” “Please go ahead,” Preston replied politely. He could not help
but ask again, “Why are you treating me to dinner, Mina?” Preston had held back on the question for a long time.
He had thought about it but could not figure it out. He wondered on his way here if tonight’s dinner was an excuse
for Mina’s interest in him. However, she immediately turned him. down when he jokingly asked her to be his
pretend girlfriend. Evidently, she did not have any romantic. interest in him. Then why did she treat him to dinner
out of the blue? Did Mina regard him as a friend? Or was she simply too bored and wanted some company for a
meal? Preston racked his brains but could not conclude; it drove him crazy. “Hehehe.” Mina giggled like a fool and
said apologetically, “I forced you to play the drinking game last time, but you got so drunk and didn’t have anything
to eat. I feel guilty about that. Therefore, I want to treat you to a good meal to make up for it.” “Is that all?” Preston
looked perplexed as thoughts went through his head. Mina was not interested in him after all. “Mhmm,” Mina
replied; her bright eyes. sparkled. “There are no other intentions?” Preston was persistent and unwilling to give up.
“None whatsoever!” Mina replied with all seriousness. “Well then, thank you for the treat. I’ll return the favor next
time,” Preston said. However, his heart felt a little empty. “Sure!” Mina spoke like a foodie, “Mr. Blake, believe me
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwhen I say this restaurant is extraordinary regarding food. We will come here again when you treat me next time.”
“Okay,” Preston could not hide his laughter when he saw Mina’s gluttonous look. Meanwhile, Mina was pleasantly
surprised that Preston was about to figure out the game she had played earlier. Her eyes sparkled like stars in the
sky. “You’re about to solve it. You’re only two rows away. How amazing!” Preston’s mood changed when he saw
Mina’s surprised look. His disappointment earlier on dissipated. The corners of his lips curled up, “I was lucky. All the
numbers I wanted appear.” The waiter began to serve the dishes. Preston asked, “Do you want a drink?” Mina
waved her hand vigorously. “No, no, no, I can’t drink.” “Is it okay if I drink a little?” Preston asked. “All right, you can
drink a little: I’ll give you a lift home later,” Mina replied readily. “Okay then,” Preston smiled and said. He felt that
Mina did not behave as a girl should. Preston continued to play the game and quickly figured it out. Mina gave him a
thumbs up excitedly. “Mr. Blake, you’re so awesome!” Preston felt awkward when Mina addressed him as Mr. Blake.
He looked at her intently and suggested, “Why don’t we change how we address each other? You can call me by my
name, Preston.” “Hahaha, you’re right since we know each other so well. You’re too amazing. You know, every time
I play this game, I’ll end up dead if I make a mistake.” Mina took over her cell phone and looked at her hundreds of
thousands of points with satisfaction. The dishes were served. Preston and Mina began to eat. Preston poured
himself a glass of wine and asked, “Aren’t you going to drink some?” Mina contemplated while looking at the bottle.
“Why not? I’ll drink a little,” she replied. “Mhmm,” Preston smiled. Mina handed a small wine glass to him. Preston
poured her a small glass of wine. Mina took a sip and started chatting. “Listen, Preston, don’t let my lack of proper
behavior back home fool you. My mother would never allow me to drink when I was overseas.” Preston smiled, “It’s
fine to drink a little. Wine promotes blood circulation; it’s good for the body.” “That’s right!” Mina’s eyes lit up.
“Wine is used as medicine in traditional medicine too. However, it has to be real grain wine. The blended wine
found in the market wouldn’t make the cut. Once I visited Ms. Tuffin’s master with her. That’s what I would call
living. They make wine every year. Other than those in the wine cellar, there’s also some peach blossom wine
buried in the courtyard.” Mina remarked, “Hmm, this wine tastes. good. Can you pour me another glass?” Preston
smiled and poured another glass. of wine for her. “Mr. Blake, eat more.” Mina extended her hospitality to make up
for the previous occasion when Preston did not have enough to eat. “Why are you calling me Mr. Blake again?”
Preston complained, looking helpless. “Haha, it slipped my mind. Don’t mind me. Let’s have another drink,” Mina
swirled the glass and finished the wine. Mina started to blush after three small glasses of wine. Preston glanced at
her and said, “Stop drinking and have some food.” “I’m blushing, right?” Mina covered her face with her hands and
said, “I was born that way. I blush easily when I drink. There is a problem with my body in terms of modern
medicine. I don’t have enough aminopherase in my system. However, according to the folk saying, such people
were regarded as good. drinkers as they could hold their liquor.” “Don’t drink so much then,” Preston said with a
smile. “One more drink and that’s it. Come on.” Mina handed her empty glass to Preston for more. Preston took the
glass and poured a little more wine. As promised, Mina stopped after another small glass of wine and started
eating. She could not stop praising as she gobbled down the food. “Joyson’s dishes are truly delicious. I would
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmnormally avoid oily food, but the braised pork belly here is simply irresistible, not to mention the side dishes. I loved
going to restaurants like this when I was overseas. Sometimes a restaurant may look clean, but the food could turn
out otherwise. Not so here, though. Everything is so delicious!” “Then eat more,” Preston served Mina another
piece of pork belly. Soon he realized that he had not used the serving utensils. Preston looked at Mina awkwardly.
However, Mina did not seem to mind at all. She wasted no time and ate the food while praising non-stop how
scrumptious it was. Preston was again overwhelmed with a strange feeling; his heart beat slightly faster than usual.
“Listen, I liked to watch boxing dramas. when I was young. My biggest dream was. to travel the world with a few
friends when I grew up. We would wine and dine …” Mina rattled on without a care. Preston laughed uncontrollably,
“What happened then?” Mina shrugged and said, “Well, I grew up and realized I was a woman. Hahahahaha!”
Preston’s smile widened. “Women can also roam the world,” he teased. “It’s not easy to find a toilet in the wild,”
Mina said with a straight face. Preston burst out laughing. She was really too cute! “Mr. Blake, pour me another
glass of wine. This wine is wonderful.” Mina handed her glass to Preston. Preston poured another glass for her
without a word. “It’s heavenly,” Mina finished it in one gulp. She rattled, “Mr. Blake, why don’t you drink too? Let’s
cheers.” “Mr. Blake, eat more. The food here is out of this world!” “Mr. Blake, there’s a mole around your eye. It’s
called a beauty mole, you know. If only you were a girl.” “You’re so good-looking!” She exclaimed. “Mina, are you
drunk?” Preston asked in disbelief. She had only had a few small glasses. How did she become as drunk as a skunk?
However, Mina looked cute when she i was drunk. He wondered if she felt uncomfortable with all the alcohol in her.
