Wang Xiao tilted his head slightly, his gaze intently studying her face. His eyes, a striking shade of red, seemed to catch Lian off guard.
She quickly averted her gaze, adopting a more composed demeanor as she lifted her wine glass for another sip. "I see you're from China," she remarked casually.
A slight smile tugged at the corners of Wang Xiao's mouth. "I'm just grateful to be alive. I prefer not to attach myself too closely to any one place."
Lian chuckled at his response, her laughter genuine. "Is that so...? By the way, the woman over there in the left corner is also from China. Came with her family on a trip and snuck out tonight for a bit of fun."
His eyes briefly darted to the woman Lian pointed out, the same one sandwiched between two men earlier.
