Chapter 995: 995
“It’s been a pleasure speaking to you, Aunty . Shall we toast to this?”
“Sure . ”
Lu Zhaoyang stood up and accepted the glass .
“Cheers . ”
Lu Zhaoyang raised her glass toward Mo Ning, but the latter hesitated before their glasses clinked .
The wine in Lu Zhaoyang’s glass was added with a very deadly chemical .
Just a small sip from it would be lethal to her .
But…
A storm of emotions was raging inside her .
Mo Ning had never faced such a difficult choice in her life .
It was her first time meeting the wonderful lady and yet she had developed a liking for her .
Suddenly, she found it difficult to make her move .
Nevertheless, it was done and there was no turning back for her .
Her father’s death…
Her mother’s legs…
Eighteen years of shouldering the burden of revenge!
Mo Ning repeated everything her mother had taught her in her mind to overcome her indecision .
No one could sympathize with the dilemma she was going through and see the hesitation that was stopping her .
Despite all that, Mo Ning was quick to take command of herself once more .
“Cheers . ”
Clink!
Their wine glasses collided against each other .
Mo Ning took a sip from her glass and smiled .

No one noticed the sea of emotions beneath her smile .
I’m sorry!
She whispered to herself .
Lu Zhaoyang smiled back tenderly and earnestly .
She slowly raised her glass to her lips without realising the abrupt apprehension expressed by her guest .
Mo Ning’s left hand clenched into a tight fist .
No!
A tiny voice gasped inside her .
She tried to stop Lu Zhaoyang…
… but it was already too late .
The glass was already at the edge of her lips as Lu Zhaoyang prepared to down the wine .

Suddenly, a figure appeared out of nowhere and knocked right into Lu Zhaoyang’s arm that was holding the glass .
“Ah!” She lost her grip and the wine glass shattered onto the ground .
The wine spilled all over the floor .
After a moment of silence, the figure mumbled slowly, “My apologies, I think I’m drunk . ”
Yan Sinian took a quick glance at Mo Ning and saw that she looked relieved . Her fist was unclenched .
He then turned to Lu Zhaoyang and made a Western gesture of apology . He spoke with a sincere tone, “Ma’am, please forgive my unruliness . I didn’t mean it . ”
“That’s alright . ” Lu Zhaoyang was not the fussy kind .
“Thank you,” Yan Sinian said with a smile and then looked at Mo Ning . “I think I need some fresh air, care to walk with me?”
“… Sure . ”
Mo Ning did not reject him .

Lu Zhaoyang smiled and offered, “There is a nice garden on the Eastern side, if you’re interested . ”
“Thank you . ”
Mo Ning gathered herself and replied .
Yan Sinian and Mo Ning left together . No one aside from those two knew of the great danger that was averted just now!
Mo Ning headed for the garden that Lu Zhaoyang mentioned and went to a secluded corner .
With her back facing Yan Sinian, she asked flatly, “Is that why you are here tonight, to stop me?”
Yan Sinian raised an eyebrow and did not reply .
“Since when have you become so nosy?”
Mo Ning turned around and directed an icy stare at him .
