Chapter 664 - 669: Murong Jialan VS Lou Xining 6
"I am your Third Uncle!"
"Oh..." Lou Xining elongated his tone, casually glanced at Alan, "Third Uncle... We just started dating a week ago."
Alan listened nearby, and felt a slight tremor in his heart.
This person is helping me test the waters...
From childhood till now, no one has ever helped me like this.
She suddenly felt a joy of being cared for.
"It’s already been a week? Why didn’t you tell us earlier? Does your grandpa know?" Third Uncle’s attitude was a bit haughty.
As soon as he finished speaking, the man next to him nudged him with his elbow and scolded softly, "Third Brother!"
Then he looked at Lou Xining with a more kindly tone, "Xining, right? I remember you used to hang out with grandpa when you were just a kid. I didn’t expect you to grow up so much! How’s grandpa’s health recently?"
"He’s quite well. Thanks for asking, Second Uncle," Lou Xining continued to smile and nod.
He had already identified Second and Third Uncles, so the remaining one who hadn’t spoken must be Fourth Uncle.
With just a few words, Lou Xining distinguished who everybody was, and his smile grew even more satisfied.
Looking back at Alan, he found that Alan was also staring at him.
Then they exchanged a smile.
Alan walked over, took Lou Xining’s arm, and smiled at the uncles before her, calling them one by one.
"Second Uncle, Third Uncle, Fourth Uncle. It’s our fault for not informing you earlier. Let’s have a meal together another day, and we’ll apologize in person."
Hearing Alan’s fluent speech, the uncles had nothing more to say.
Maybe they thought Alan’s condition was really getting better, so they didn’t ask any more questions and just nodded perfunctorily.
"Alright, alright..."
After exchanging a few more words, Alan pulled Lou Xining aside for a drink.
What the younger generation said, the older generation couldn’t understand, so they didn’t stop them.
Alan directly dragged Lou Xining to a quieter corner.
On the table were fine wine and cakes. Alan took a deep breath, grabbed a glass of red wine on the table, and downed it in one go.
Then she sighed deeply, "So refreshing! Ever since I grew up, I’ve never been as confident as I am today! In their eyes, I must have recognized them by myself, right? So great!"
What is taken for granted by ordinary people is so precious to Alan.
Lou Xining stood by her side, watching her smile so happily, and his lips curled up as well.
"One day, you too will be able to recognize them on your own." When Lou Xining gets serious, he doesn’t doubt his abilities.
He had successfully cured six cases of face blindness like Alan’s when he was studying abroad.
In this field, he has professional knowledge and experience, and from what he saw tonight, Alan’s condition looked pretty good. The chances and speed of her recovery would greatly increase.
"I really look forward to that day..." Alan drank another glass, her mind full of anticipation.
She really wanted to get rid of this damn face blindness!
Seeing her down the second glass and reaching for a third, Lou Xining stopped her.
"If you drink any more, you’re going to get drunk. I don’t want to carry you back."
"What’s a bit of alcohol? I often spend all night at the bar and never get drunk. Don’t worry!" Alan didn’t seem to care, evaded Lou Xining’s hand, and quickly finished the third glass.
Sometimes, wine is indispensable.
Getting drunk and numbing the nerves, so it wouldn’t hurt so much...
