He has a calm temperament. Try getting along with him for a while. If you find he suits you, consider marrying him. Our families are already familiar with each other.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you marry him, our whole family can relax. He lives close by, and if the Zhang family dares to mistreat you, we can step in and stand up for you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lan Ruoruo replied, \u201cIf Zhang Cheng dares to bully me, I\u2019ll beat him up, crack his head open, and make sure he learns his lesson!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lan\u2019s mother: \u201c\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This girl really is a bit too fierce.<\/p>\n<p>Ordinary men probably wouldn\u2019t dare to marry her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlright, let\u2019s go downstairs. Don\u2019t keep Zhang Cheng waiting too long. And remember\u2014don\u2019t get drunk at the banquet tonight. I\u2019ve already asked Zhang Cheng to keep an eye on you and make sure you don\u2019t overdo it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know how you get when you\u2019re drunk\u2014you like to flirt with handsome men.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you end up teasing Zhang Cheng, that\u2019s fine. Worst case, you\u2019ll just have to take responsibility for him. But if you flirt with someone else\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMom, I can\u2019t get drunk that easily. Don\u2019t worry. Most men can\u2019t even drink as much as I can,\u201d Lan Ruoruo cut her off, trying to ease her concern.<\/p>\n<p>Her alcohol tolerance had improved. She might\u2019ve gotten drunk once or twice before, but now it hardly ever happened.<\/p>\n<p>Unless she pretended to be drunk.<\/p>\n<p>Or unless she drank strong liquor\u2014then she\u2019d definitely be affected.<\/p>\n<p>Still, strong spirits weren\u2019t usually served at banquets, since people didn\u2019t want to get too drunk before discussing business.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know you can handle your alcohol,\u201d her mother said. \u201cBut it\u2019s not about a thousand safe times\u2014I\u2019m just worried about that one exception. What if you\u2019re in a bad mood, drink too much, and get drunk? Especially if you run into your mortal enemy at the banquet and it puts you off balance.\u201d<br \/>\nIf she ended up teasing her mortal enemy, things could get messy.<\/p>\n<p>But Lan\u2019s mother chose not to say that out loud.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI understand. I won\u2019t let myself get drunk. Zhan Wei will be at the banquet tonight. I\u2019ve heard he can hold his liquor, though I haven\u2019t actually competed with him in drinking yet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They rarely attended the same events, so they\u2019d never had a direct drinking contest.<\/p>\n<p>If the chance arose tonight, she wouldn\u2019t mind drinking with Zhan Wei. It might even give her something new to laugh about at his expense.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMom, I\u2019m heading out,\u201d Lan Ruoruo said, standing up and walking away, eager to escape her mother\u2019s endless reminders.<\/p>\n<p>Lan\u2019s mother naturally followed after her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you run into Zhan Wei tonight, keep your temper in check. Don\u2019t frighten Zhang Cheng. Your father and I really like him and hope he can be our son-in-law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lan Ruoruo replied, \u201cEveryone in Yangcheng knows Zhan Wei and I are sworn enemies. If Zhang Cheng gets scared off just because I clash with my enemy, then he\u2019s not the right man for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026Zhang Cheng is very well-mannered,\u201d her mother said carefully.<\/p>\n<p>Lan Ruoruo shrugged. \u201cNo matter how polite he is, he\u2019s still a grown man. He shouldn\u2019t be that easy to scare.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlright, I can\u2019t argue with you. I\u2019m just a little uneasy. I have a feeling something unpleasant might happen at the banquet tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMom, I\u2019m not a child anymore. I\u2019m not going to cause any trouble.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you\u2019re that worried, why don\u2019t you come with me?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lan\u2019s mother immediately declined, \u201cBanquets go too late and ruin my sleep. I\u2019ll pass.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thinking about how the only man who had interacted with her daughter over the years was Zhan Wei\u2014her so-called mortal [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17941","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-married-at-first-sight"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17941","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17941"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17941\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18035,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17941\/revisions\/18035"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17941"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17941"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17941"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
