Tiny bubbles continuously emerged from the lime mojito as Lu Xiaoyou's tiptoes lifted off the ground. She lay sprawled across the dining table, counting the bubbles rising in the transparent glass.
When she reached over a hundred bubbles, her thoughts became a mess.
The glass tipped over on the dining table, and the liquid mixed with alcohol and fruity wood scent spilled over, numerous tiny bubbles bursting in the alcohol with popping sounds.
Long Xiliang's gaze fell on her hand resting on the table; on her right middle finger shimmered a dazzling diamond ring.
He had seen the appraisal report for the diamond ring, whose name was "Life is but a Dream."
More than half an hour later, Lu Xiaoyou came out of the bathroom, having rushed in unexpectedly with no clothes to change into, dressed in Long Xiliang's clothes and pants.
Wearing the man's clothes on her body, Xiaoyou felt like a little child.
