Chapter 427: Chapter 427 Your Acting Really Isn’t Great_1

The next day, after dropping off Mo Shaoyun, Xiao Nan, Li Peichi, and Nangong Wu at the Tiannan Group and the Fairy Palace, Zhang Xian started wandering around the streets alone.

Now Tiannan Group and Fairy Palace were on full alert; no one, whoever they were, could approach Nangong Wu and Mo Shaoyun without having their identities confirmed. It was relatively safe.

Driving his Ferrari around, Zhang Xian spotted a decent bar. He parked his car and walked in.

Generally speaking, bars don’t open in the morning.

This one was an exception. It was open bright and early and quite a few vehicles were parked out front.

"Hmm? This bar is quite unusual." Walking into the bar, Zhang Xian looked around, seeming a bit surprised.

The bar had a very vintage styling, the decor was mostly bamboo, complemented by green grass and flowers, giving it a faint hint of a rustic atmosphere. The bar staff, some dressed in cheongsams, others in Tang suits or Hanfu, moved around the bar. The soothing and melodic classical music added an ancient charm to the already vintage bar.

"Is this a bar?" Zhang Xian found a seat and muttered to himself.

Usually, bars are places to unwind and let loose, taking the excitable route. This bar was like a quiet girl. How could it attract customers?

"Sir, what would you like to drink?"

A waitress dressed in Hanfu came up to Zhang Xian, presented a drink menu, and said with a smile: "All of our cocktails here are pretty fabulous!"

"What do you think I should drink?" Zhang Xian asked with a smile.

The beautiful waitress smiled and said: "Sir, how about I recommend ’Youth’? It suits you very well!"

" Eh, what kind of drink is that?" Zhang Xian asked in surprise.

The beautiful waitress explained: "It’s a kind of cocktail, invented by our bartender. You can’t find this drink anywhere else."

"Are you kidding?"

Zhang Xian said, "Miss, are you trying to fool me? We’re not living in an isolated society. If you have it here, why wouldn’t others have it too? Is your bartender that cool?"

"It’s not about the style!"

The beautiful waitress smiled and said, "You can say that our emphasis here is on ’alcohol’, but also it’s not. Sometimes, the drinks mixed by our bartender can be quite peculiar. Some of our customers don’t even think of it as alcohol after tasting it. That’s why no other bars have this kind of special feature. How about you give it a try?"

Zhang Xian smiled and said, "Fine, I’ll have the ’Youth’ you mentioned."

"Please wait a moment."

The beautiful waitress came out a moment later carrying a large goblet which she gently put on the table. "Sir, here’s your drink."

"How much do I owe for this?" Zhang Xian asked with a smile.

The beautiful waitress smiled and said, ""Most of our drinks are the same price, ninety-nine yuan. As for the special ones, they cost more."

"That expensive?" Zhang Xian widened his eyes.

Although the quantity was generous, almost six to seven hundred milliliters, but the price of ninety-nine was a bit too high, wasn’t it? This drink would disappear after a few gulps and you would see one whole note gone.

"Hehe..." The beautiful waitress just smiled and said nothing.

Zhang Xian chuckled bitterly, paid the exact amount, raised his goblet and took a little sip.

It’s sour, really a bit sour.

However, slowly, there seemed to be a touch of sweetness lingering in his mouth, as if he was having a piece of honey candy.

Then, the sweetness disappeared and a sense of bitterness suddenly emerged.

And before the bitterness could take over his taste buds, a spicy taste cut in.

A single drink with four kinds of flavors, stimulating the taste buds to the extreme. The bartender did have some skills, no wonder the business was so good.

"Sir..."

The beautiful waitress smiled and asked, "Was your youth full of all kinds of sweetness, bitterness, and spiciness? Did this drink remind you of anything?"

Zhang Xian shook his head, "No."

"Okay!"

The beautiful waitress had a stunned expression on her face. Couldn’t this guy just play along with her?

Giving Zhang Xian a gloomy look, she sat opposite him and asked, "Would you like to chat about something? Before we close or before you leave, I can chat with you."

"Really?"

Zhang Xian asked with a laugh, "Do you provide one-to-one service?"

"Pretty much!"

The beautiful waitress chuckled and said: "Here at our bar, each server is responsible for one table, corresponding to a group of customers, and specifically introduces various drinks. Also, we can chat with our customers to alleviate their boredom. However, sir, I need to clarify beforehand, we only provide company for chat, nothing else."

"Okay..."

Zhang Xian nodded, initiated a topic, and began to chat with the beautiful waitress.

No wonder the bar was popular – having a beautiful woman for a chat was enjoyful even if there was nothing else. Later on, who knows what could happen!

"Handsome, could you buy me a drink?"

Suddenly, a beautiful woman in a white dress came over and asked with a smile.

Zhang Xian turned to look at her, gave her a once over, then shook his head and said, "No."

"Uh..." The beautiful woman was stunned.

The waitress was also stunned and looked at Zhang Xian with some confusion. The lady next to him was so beautiful, why would he reject her? It didn’t make sense!

Could it be that he was into men?

Besides this reason, she could not think of any other reason why Zhang Xian would reject the beauty next to him. Even if some men were dedicated in relationships, but when faced with a top-notch beauty, could they resist that kind of temptation? The woman next to him was very attractive, both in her looks and figure. She belonged to the top-notch category. How many normal men could resist?

"Why are you so stingy?"

The beauty said angrily, "I’ve seen stingy people, but I’ve never seen anyone as stingy as you. How much does a drink cost?"

Zhang Xian looked at the beauty and asked, "And what if I don’t treat you? What can you do about it?"

"You..."

The beauty was so angry, she said to the waitress, "Can you leave?"

"I ...can ... go..." The waitress looked at Zhang Xian.

Seeing that the customer didn’t stop him from leaving, she nodded, quickly got up, and hastily retreated to one side. However, she didn’t go far, wanting to see what the outcome would be.

"Give me a reason."

The beauty sat down opposite Zhang Xian and asked, "Am I not pretty enough, or are you not interested in me?"

"No..."

Zhang Xian laughed and asked, "What do you want to drink?"

"Hmph!"

The beauty looked at Zhang Xian, pouted and said, "It seems that you are like other men, just starting off by surprising me."

Zhang Xian said, "Stop nagging and just tell me what you want to drink. I’ll treat you."

"You...the more you act like this, the less I want to leave. I want to see how long you can last."

The beauty saw Zhang Xian’s indifferent attitude and her mouth twitched unnaturally a few times before she said angrily, "Order a drink! The same as yours."

Zhang Xian called over the waitress and ordered another Youthful Years.

When the waitress saw that Zhang Xian had compromised, she felt a bit puzzled. But she didn’t dare to ask and quickly turned around to get the drink.

"Why does this wine taste so strange?"

The beauty picked up the wine glass that the waitress had brought over, took a small sip, and murmured with furrowed brows.

"You’re strange too."

Zhang Xian laughed, "Tell me! What do you want from me? I don’t think you have any good feelings for me. These days, that kind of woman usually looks at appearances first. Although I won’t deny that I look okay, with a little bit of handsomeness and a little bit of charm. But that kind of woman usually only looks at clothes, not faces."

"What if I do have feelings for you?"

The beauty frowned, "I just don’t get it, a beauty takes the initiative to come to you, why are you so suspicious?"

"Don’t change the subject."

Zhang Xian looked at the beauty and said, "Tell me why you came here."

The beauty gave a mysterious smile, leaned towards Zhang Xian and whispered with a hint of sweetness, "What if I tell you I fell in love with you at first sight, would you believe me?"

Zhang Xian nodded and said, "I believe."

"Then why do you keep asking?"

The beauty pouted, "I did fall in love with you at first sight, I really did like you."

Zhang Xian laughed and said, "It seems that my charm isn’t bad, attracting a beauty to take the initiative to come to me. I have to say, I’ve never noticed this phenomenon before."

"It’s not too late to discover it now!"

The beauty hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Shall we go out for a walk?"

"What for? Isn’t it good here? Besides, I have a few questions to ask you."

Zhang Xian picked up the wine glass, took a sip and then asked, "Who sent you? And why do you want to kill me. If you tell me, in consideration of how adorable you are, I won’t kill you."

"What ... what are you talking about?" The beauty’s eyes flashed in surprise, which was quickly replaced by anxiety.

"I was joking before, but now I’m seriously talking to you."

Zhang Xian chilled and laughed, "Do you want to remove the mask from your face? I told you before, your acting isn’t great. That expression just now gave you away."

"You..."

The beauty was surprised, "How did you find out?"

"I think, what you should be thinking about now is how to escape from me."

Zhang Xian laughed and said, "However, I regret to tell you that if you don’t be honest, you basically have no hope of escaping."

"I..." Leng Shuang’er bit her lip without speaking, thinking about how to deal with the current situation.

Originally, she was planning to lure Zhang Xian away and then use a sleep drug to knock him out. But fantasies are always beautiful, while reality is often harsh. She had just arrived and was discovered by Zhang Xian.

This puzzled her. Even if her acting was not great, she should not have shown any flaws beforehand. How did Zhang Xian find out?
