Chapter 250 A Toast to Others
Meanwhile, at the booth, after apologizing, Sun Ruoyi revealed her second, and most important, purpose for the evening.
"Mr. Ning, to be honest, I have another favor to ask of you today."
"I really, really like that Ming Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup that I saw tonight."
Sun Ruoyi's eyes revealed an undisguised longing and infatuation, like a devout believer seeing a sacred object.
"I know this request may be a bit abrupt, but that cup means a lot to me. So... I'd like to ask, Mr. Ning, would you be so kind as to part with it?"
She looked at Ning Xiuyang with a pleading look in her eyes.
"Regarding the price, rest assured, I'm willing to add... 30% to your agreed price!"
Twenty million, plus 30%, that's twenty-six million!
She was willing to spend an extra six million for a cup!
Ning Xiuyang looked at her and smiled noncommittally.
He is not short of money.
He didn't have any particular feelings for this cup.
He took the picture purely to use up the discount money from the daily treasure chests in the system, to replenish the villa, and incidentally to disgust Sun Zhenfei.
Now, the goal has been achieved.
This cup has lost its value to him.
Giving it to her wouldn't be a problem.
However, it would be too meaningless to give it away so easily.
Ning Xiuyang's gaze fell on the unopened bottle of high-proof liquor in front of Sun Ruoyi.
A playful smile curved at the corners of his mouth.
Sun Ruoyi was incredibly clever; she understood his meaning instantly.
Without the slightest hesitation, she picked up the bottle of liquor, which was at least 52% ABV, and filled the empty glass in front of her to the brim.
Then, she picked up her wine glass, looked at Ning Xiuyang, and said, word by word:
"Mr. Ning, I understand what you mean."
"This first cup is an apology to you for my brother's rudeness."
After saying that, to the astonishment of everyone present, she tilted her snow-white neck back and drank the full glass of strong liquor in one gulp!
"Gulp!"
The clear, crisp liquor slid down Sun Ruoyi's snow-white swan neck and into her throat with a swift and decisive motion, without the slightest hesitation.
Drink it all!
The entire room fell silent!
Everyone was stunned by Sun Ruoyi's earth-shattering move.
That's 52-proof liquor!
It's not beer!
It's not red wine!
Just this whole big cup, and you chug it all in one gulp?
Moreover, the one who made this move was none other than Sun Ruoyi, the legendary beauty of Zhonghai, who was said to be noble, aloof, and detached from worldly affairs!
This scene is so impactful!
"Holy crap... did I see that right? Goddess Sun... drinks this much?"
"He downed a glass of baijiu in one go! That's a drinking capacity that puts 99% of the men here to shame, right?"
"That's so cool! She went to such lengths for a cup!"
Chen Lin watched in disbelief. He had known Sun Ruoyi for so long, but he had never seen her drink alcohol, let alone baijiu!
Zheng Wenxin felt his heart bleed as he watched.
He pursued Sun Ruoyi for so long, but they never even held hands, let alone drank together.
But now, she's degrading herself like this for another man, for a cup!
Why should I?!
What kind of bewitching potion did Ning Xiuyang give her?!
Ning Xiuyang was also a little surprised.
He just wanted to tease her and see how this aloof queen would react.
I never expected her to be so fierce.
After downing a glass of baijiu, Sun Ruoyi's already fair face instantly flushed with a captivating rosy hue, and her cool eyes became misty, making her appear less like a queen and more like a woman's charm.
"cough……"
She put down her glass and couldn't help but cough softly, clearly indicating that the strong liquor had quite a kick.
But she only paused for a moment before picking up the bottle again.
"Splash..."
The clear wine was poured back into the glass in front of her.
"Mr. Ning," she said, picking up her second glass of wine and looking intently at Ning Xiuyang, "this glass is to express my apology for my abrupt request earlier."
"I hope to move you with my sincerity."
After saying that, she tilted her head back again and drank the second glass of baijiu in one gulp!
This time, the surrounding chatter disappeared.
Everyone was deeply moved by her resolute determination and sincerity.
They finally understood that Sun Ruoyi's feelings for that chicken cup were not just simple liking, but true "love".
For this love, she was willing to set aside her pride and even sacrifice her body.
Ning Xiuyang looked at her, and for the first time, a hint of appreciation appeared in his eyes.
This woman is no ordinary person.
He has the courage and determination to achieve his goals, and he's even ruthless to himself.
No wonder he was able to become the vice president of Jianghai Shipbuilding at such a young age.
"Impressive drinking capacity," Ning Xiuyang finally said, offering a light compliment.
These three simple words brought a glimmer of light to Sun Ruoyi's eyes.
She knew that her efforts had not been in vain.
Despite the churning in her stomach and the dizziness in her head, she reached out again and picked up the bottle.
Her movements were already trembling slightly.
The third glass of wine wasn't poured as steadily as the first two, and some even spilled onto the table.
"Mr. Ning..."
Her voice had taken on a barely perceptible hoarseness and tremor.
"This third cup..."
"If... if you are willing to part with it, this is my thank-you wine."
"If you are unwilling... then this is my penalty drink, a punishment for my foolish delusion today."
She held the glass of wine, her beautiful eyes fixed on Ning Xiuyang, filled with stubbornness and a last glimmer of hope.
She's gambling.
She was gambling on whether this man would be moved by her sincerity.
The entire party was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone's heart was in their throat.
They were all waiting for Ning Xiuyang's verdict.
Shen Yourong, standing to the side, looked at Sun Ruoyi's face, which was becoming increasingly radiant due to alcohol, and suddenly felt a strange sense of crisis.
This woman is too beautiful, and too threatening.
She instinctively hugged Ning Xiuyang's arm even tighter.
Shen Youyou pouted, feeling a little unhappy.
Hmph, it's just a broken cup.
Is it really necessary to work this hard?
You think you can use this method to seduce my master?
Think beautiful!
My master is mine! And she's my mother's too! I won't let some flashy, cheap woman like you steal her away!
Ning Xiuyang looked into Sun Ruoyi's stubborn eyes and suddenly smiled.
He reached out and, instead of taking his own glass, took the full glass of baijiu directly from Sun Ruoyi's hand.
Sun Ruoyi's body trembled slightly, and a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.
Was this a polite way of rejecting him?
Just as her heart sank to the bottom, Ning Xiuyang made a move that surprised everyone.
He gently placed the glass of wine back on the table.
Then, looking at Sun Ruoyi, he said something in a nonchalant tone that was enough to shake the entire circle of wealthy second-generation individuals in Zhonghai.
"Miss Sun, you've misunderstood."
"It's just a cup, since you like it..."
He paused, then a smile that could charm the world appeared on his lips.
"Then I'll give it to you."
