Zuko was now completely sober. He hadn’t had time to react when Nicholas dragged him away, and then his ears

were filled with the man’s voice narrating how he had made full use of the washboard back in the day, how he had

pacified Linda, and so on.

While listening to the stories, Zuko found another glass of vodka in his hand. By the end of it, he had lost track of

how much he had drunk.

In a daze, he felt a soft hand hooking onto his arm, and a gentle voice whispered in his ear, “You’ve had so much to

drink. What do we do now?”

“Let Zuko stay here! He’s not an outsider,” Linda said.

“Which room should he stay in?” Lina asked.

When Zuko woke up, he was lying in a beautiful princess room—Lina’s. The air was filled with a familiar fragrance,

and a lovely thought crossed his mind.

He had drunk too much yesterday, and it seemed Lina had helped him.

‘Did we have…’

Zuko couldn’t control his smile and subconsciously felt the space beside him.

However, there was no residual warmth. He lifted the blanket and noticed that his clothes were intact. Nothing had

happened. It seemed that the beautiful thought was just his imagination.

Zuko sighed, feeling the lingering effects of alcohol from yesterday as his temples throbbed. The fragrance of the

pillow made him unable to resist his wandering thoughts, and he buried his face in it to sniff it repeatedly. Then he

moved on to the blanket. After that, he rolled around on the bed, chuckling to himself in satisfaction.

Suddenly, he realized that he should not be content with just this. No, of course not!

He was about to come up with a naughty idea when Lina walked in with some drinks and breakfast, placing it gently

on the bedside table.

Zuko quickly lay down and pretended to be asleep.

Lina felt his forehead with worry. Her soft hand moved from his forehead down his cheek, and everywhere her

fingertips touched, it ignited a wave of heat in Zuko.

The heat did not go beyond his neck, but a certain part of him seemed to have undergone a significant change.

“Zuko?” Lina called a few times, but he didn’t respond.

She sighed, her eyes full of concern. She gently wiped his face with a warm towel and said softly, “You shouldn’t

force yourself to drink! You drank so much and still can’t wake up… My dad’s already awake!

“Zuko, Zuko! Did you get alcohol poisoning?”

Upon thinking he was poisoned, Lina panicked and was about to rush out of the room.

“Dad! Mom!”

“Don’t shout!” Zuko sprang up.

Lina froze but turned to see him looking refreshed and not at all like someone being poisoned.

“You…”

Zuko realized that he had gone too far with his acting and smiled awkwardly. “Lina, I’m fine.”

“Really? Nothing’s wrong?” Lina sat beside him and observed him carefully. “You don’t feel uncomfortable

anywhere?”

Zuko took the opportunity to hold her hand, gently caressing the back of her hand with his thumb.

“Did you hear me coming in?” she asked.

Zuko nodded.

“And you were already awake?” she asked.

“Yes…” he replied.

“Then why did you pretend to sleep? You startled me!”

Zuko looked into her eyes. His cold, sharp eyes softened when facing the one he loved.

“When I came to propose yesterday… were Uncle Nicholas and Aunt Linda happy with it?”

Lina glanced at him and smiled softly. The Hamertons’ wedding gifts were naturally impeccable, and Le Esse was

amidst the jewelry prepared by Cordelia.

What else could they be unsatisfied with when the Hamertons greatly valued their future daughter-in-law?

“If they were happy…” Zuko didn’t let go of her hand as he leaned close to her ear and said softly, “Then let’s get

married quickly, alright?”

Lina was stunned. “So soon?”

“Why? Don’t you want to marry me sooner?”
