Honey room fragrance

Chapter 172 Is it a coincidence?

Jiang Hanyi could not hide his worry: "I am really worried about your safety."

Lin Mimi patted his shoulder gently and comforted him: "Don't worry! Everything will be fine."

Then she continued excitedly: "I will definitely stay still today and will not run around."

"Besides, I will go back to the palace later. By then, I plan to welcome the New Year with Bai Mu, Wei Ying, Qiu Ju, Dong Zhi and the others!"

"With Bai Mu and Wei Ying by my side, what else do you have to worry about?" Lin Mimi smiled confidently.

Jiang Hanyi was silent for a moment and then thanked him: "Thank you for your consideration, Your Highness."

"Oh! We are family and should not have different opinions." Lin Mimi blinked at him.

"Hmm!" It was obvious that he was in a happy mood.

Just then, a beautiful melody sounded on the stage, and a group of dancers walked onto the stage and began their performance.

Lin Mimi was watching the performance on the stage, but she was thinking about other things.

Suddenly, her eyes fixed on a corner. She hadn't seen Ren Xianzhi for a long time. He was sitting alone in the corner drinking, looking very lonely.

Although Lin Mimi deliberately distanced herself from him, it was not that she didn't want to have any contact with him anymore, so she picked up the wine glass and walked towards Ren Xianzhi.

"Boss Ren, long time no see." Lin Mimi greeted with a smile.

Ren Xianzhi looked up at her, a complex expression flashed in his eyes, and then he stood up and said respectfully: "Greetings, Your Highness."

"I didn't expect you to have such a good alcohol tolerance. You started drinking right at the beginning of the banquet!" Lin Mimi said half-jokingly, with a hint of cunning in her beautiful eyes.

"Your Highness, you are joking. I just..." Ren Xianzhi hesitated and frowned slightly, as if something was bothering him.

He paused, then continued, "I was feeling depressed and wanted to drown my sorrows in wine."

"Oh? For love?" Lin Mimi asked softly, her eyes as sharp as torches, as if she could see through everything.

When Ren Xianzhi heard this, the hand holding the wine glass paused for a moment, but soon returned to normal.

He raised his head, looked directly into Lin Mimi's eyes, and asked, "Your Highness, why do you think you are trapped by love?"

Lin Mimi raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile. She did not directly answer Ren Xianzhi's question, but asked instead: "Have you ever heard of the poem, 'Drinking to dispel sorrow only makes sorrow worse'?"

Ren Xianzhi nodded thoughtfully and asked doubtfully, "What is the connection between this poem and this matter? I hope Your Highness can explain it clearly."

Lin Mimi smiled without saying anything, thinking that the man in front of her was really pretending to be ignorant even though he knew the truth.

She picked up the glass, took a sip, then slowly put it down and said meaningfully: "Sometimes, the more we want to escape from troubles, the deeper we fall into sorrow."

"Just like this glass of wine, although it can temporarily numb the nerves, it can never eliminate the real pain in your heart."

Lin Mimi raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and said with a smile: "Life is only a few decades long, and birth, aging, illness and death are all normal."

"However, from what I have seen, Xianzhi does not seem to be bothered by these four things."

She paused, looked at Ren Xianzhi with deep eyes, and continued, "It seems that only the word 'love' can bother him."

After saying that, Lin Mimi chuckled and said, "It's just that there are so many troubles in this world, which make people upset. Why not be more open-minded?"

After she finished speaking, she raised the glass in her hand and motioned to Ren Xianzhi to drink together.

Ren Xianzhi stared at her with flickering eyes. After a slight hesitation, he slowly raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"Drinking is only acceptable. Excessive drinking can harm your health!" Lin Mimi reminded softly.

Just as she turned to leave, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a dark red scar under Ren Xianzhi's lips, which was exposed when he tilted his head back to drink, and it was almost healed.

Lin Mimi suddenly stopped and stared at the scar, as if thinking about something.

Hmm? Is it a coincidence?

When Ren Xianzhi noticed her gaze, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, so he looked at her inquiringly and asked softly, "Your Highness, why are you staring at me so intently?"

When Lin Mimi heard his question, she quickly looked away, an imperceptible complex expression on her face, but she quickly returned to normal.

He pretended to be surprised and replied, "Oh, it's nothing. I just never thought that someone as powerful as Master Ren would get hurt."

Ren Xianzhi was very surprised when he heard this. He subconsciously lowered his head to examine himself, and then responded with a blank face: "Injured? How come I don't know I'm injured?"

Seeing this, Lin Mimi raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile.

Her eyes slowly fell on Ren Xianzhi's well-defined lips. She gently touched them with her finger and smiled at him charmingly.

She said in a delicate voice: "If he wasn't injured, could it be that the mark on his lip was bitten by a girl?"

After she finished speaking, her big watery eyes blinked from time to time, as if full of endless charm.

Ren Xianzhi heard this, touched his lips, and his face turned red all of a sudden: "Your Highness, don't joke, this wound was caused by me accidentally bumping into it when I got up at night."

"Really?" Lin Mimi obviously didn't believe what he said.

Lin Mimi's eyes moved and she said with a smile: "No matter what, Xianzhi should pay attention to safety." She turned and left, leaving Ren Xianzhi alone in thought.

Ren Xianzhi felt much better because of her arrival and concern, and he stopped drinking alone.

Lin Mimi returned to her seat, watched the dancing in the hall, and chatted and laughed with the people around her.

Then Fu Nanzhu also walked towards her with a glass of wine in hand. After the two of them exchanged pretend greetings, they moved closer to have a detailed conversation.

Fu Nanzhu was a little jealous: "I thought His Highness would come to me first!"

Lin Mimi: “…”

Seeing that she remained silent, he immediately changed the subject: "Your Highness is so beautiful today."

Lin Mimi glared at him and twisted the soft flesh around his waist: "Your Highness, when am I not beautiful?"

"Meimeimeimei, I said something wrong." Fu Nanzhu begged for mercy in a low voice.

At this moment, Chu Weiran walked towards Lin Mimi with a wine glass in his hand and a smile on his face.

Walking closer, he first bowed to Lin Mimi, then said, "Your Highness, do you still remember me?"

When Lin Mimi heard the voice, she turned around, her eyes fell on Chu Weiran, and she responded in a tender voice: "Remember, your name is Chu Weiran, right!" From her words, it seemed that she had some impression of Chu Weiran.

Fu Nanzhu, who was standing by, felt a little unhappy when he saw Chu Weiran coming over to chat with him.

He glared at Chu Weiran fiercely and said unhappily, "You have no sense at all!"
