"What are you trying to talk me into saying?"
Shen Li and the butler both froze for a second, unaware of when Huo Tianqi had come over, nor how long he had been standing there.
Huo Tianqi's face was slightly flushed, showing signs of mild intoxication.
The faint aroma of red wine emanated from him without being overpowering. The stemmed glass swayed with the vibrant red liquid.
"Nothing much." The butler spoke up and quickly stepped forward to smooth things over, asking, "Why have you been drinking?"
Drinking was not a big deal, but getting tipsy in the daytime was something a drunkard would do, and it seemed Huo Tianqi was a little... off-kilter.
"Just a bit, didn't expect it to get to my head," said Huo Tianqi as he casually handed his glass to the butler.
But even as he talked and passed the glass, his gaze remained fixed on Shen Li, carrying a slight chill and accusation, "What, are you poking your nose into my business again? Whose woman I slept with, what's it to you?"
