But no matter how much she drank, Lia didn't feel the drunken stupor she sought.
When the gifts were presented, the courteous image of Lin Da kept replaying in front of her eyes.
Also, the scene where Lin Da and Lulu held hands to greet them...
Gurgle, gurgle!
Lia gulped down the large glass of wheat beer, a blush creeping onto her cheeks.
Beneath the influence of alcohol, her vision blurred as she looked towards Lin Da, surrounded by Snow Goose's people in the middle of the room.
The party was attended by many important figures, all coming for Lin Da. Lia envied him; Lin Da had achieved what she wanted but could not.
And that glory should have included a share for her.
'It's probably because they trust me,'
Lin Da's words echoed in her ears once again.
Lia's grip on her beer mug slowly tightened. She couldn't help but wonder, if she could trust Lin Da as the members of the Phoenix Tail Flower did, would Lin Da have had no reason to leave the team?
