Capítulo 62: Are You Human?

"I didn't drink any alcohol. It was juice." She slurred. She faintly remembered grabbing something that felt like cold glass and figured it was the usual bottle of juice she had stocked in her fridge. She had been drowning in her sorrow and didn't pay any attention if she got the right bottle.

"You drank wine." He deadpanned, closing the door behind her and locking all three locks.

"I drank wine? But I promised grandfather-"

"How much was in the bottle? Was it full?" He lifted the bottle and swished it even if he already knew it would be empty.

"Mm, it was heavy. I don't remember how much was in it." She tried to grab the bottle but he held it away from her.

"You promised Elder Zhao you wouldn't drink and you still did?" He teased her, nearly smiling at the way she pouted. She could barely keep her eyes open and he noticed how exceptionally tired she was. What had she been doing the entire day?

"I-I-" Zhao Lifei stuttered as she felt guilty for breaking her promise.
