My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 1851: Bewitching Demonic Aura
"You’re leaving?" Ling Kong was surprised.
"Yes, boosting morale is important, but education is also crucial. After all, acquiring true knowledge is how I can contribute to the country in the future. That’s my greatest ambition." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
"The Duke’s daughter is truly an ambitious woman, that’s commendable."
Ling Kong showed an expression of appreciation, smiling thoughtfully.
"If you can continue the Duke’s legacy in the future, you will undoubtedly become a heroine in military and political fields."
Lie Fengzi felt a surge of joy in his heart and beamed with delight. He truly valued strong, independent women — what did that countryside girl have to compare to him?
"I have to leave now, both as a farewell and to celebrate your promotion today, Young Master Ling Kong. I’ll offer you a few drinks."
Lie Fengzi tidied the table, smiled, and poured two generous glasses of wine with an expression full of admiration and grandeur.
"You’re a great hero, whom I genuinely admire. Congratulations on your continued achievements and invincibility."
Seeing her boldness, without a hint of girlish coyness while toasting in celebration, Ji Lingkong accepted the glass. The two clinked glasses, and Lie Fengzi downed the drink in one go.
A woman had already finished her drink; as a man, how could Ji Lingkong fall short? He raised his fine brows slightly and drank his in one go.
Lie Fengzi poured another glass, smiling brightly and delivered pleasant congratulatory words.
Ji Lingkong had to accept the drink again, drinking three large glasses in succession. He felt slightly dazed as the strong liquor hit him, having already drunk quite a lot alone earlier. Being at a tipping point, he barely maintained a sober expression, but his drooping eyes carried a haze.
However, he always held a determined spirit. Even if drunk, he wouldn’t easily collapse, so he still appeared sharp and upright; his demeanor was calm and composed. Lie Fengzi scrutinized him, feeling anxious inside, unsure if he was drunk or not.
Generally, anyone would be drunk after so much, but seeing his lack of typical drunken demeanor, still so elegant and calm, she felt uncertain.
It seemed his mind was still clear. Under such circumstances, if she attempted anything, it would be too easy for him to notice. If he then looks down on her, all efforts would be wasted.
Lie Fengzi gritted her teeth, poured another glass, and righteously laughed, "Just now, Dad called, said he watched your medal ceremony and was very happy for you. He really wants to personally have a few drinks with you, but can’t come due to health reasons. So, he instructed me to drink a few cups in his place."
"Ha, Duke Lie is being too courteous." Ling Kong’s voice was deep, rich, and as beautiful as a cello, akin to heavenly music in the boundless night sky. Enhanced by a hint of drunkenness, it appeared even more hauntingly charming, like black rose petals drifting from the sky.
Lie Fengzi’s heart skipped a beat, and her cheeks flushed. The sound was so captivating — it could almost make one’s ears pregnant.
It’s often said that the term "sexy" mostly describes women, usually related to physical allure, but this man’s sexiness wasn’t in his looks or physique. Just his infinitely charming voice could stir one’s blood, making their face blush, ears burn, and heart race!
Who would have thought that such a proud and distinguished man could also possess such a dangerously attractive side, seemingly drawing people into the vortex of his dark allure.
"Dad, Dad said... He said that if you don’t drink, you’re denying him face. My father can be quite stubborn, so please forgive his bullish temper and drink this cup."
