Seeing his mother’s exuberant and animated demeanor, Alvin felt as if he had returned to the innocent days of youth. His expression gradually softened, and he perhaps understood a bit why his mother liked Nangong Lin.

The two of them chatted away like good sisters, with Nangong Lin mentioning that the script for her next movie could be shown to the Queen for her to delve into the character, which made the Queen even happier.

Perhaps some people don’t understand, but everyone has their dreams. When obstacles and realities prevent those dreams from coming true, encountering someone in the realm of your aspirations can evoke an uncontrollable excitement.

It’s as if you’ve given up on that dream, and now someone helps you relive it, each word resonating with enthusiasm.

The two chatted happily, and naturally consumed quite a bit of wine in the process. A bottle of red wine was nearly finished between them.

The Queen even had Alvin personally open another bottle of wine.

To Alvin’s surprise, Nangong Lin had a great tolerance for alcohol!

Thinking of Nangong Jin’s legendary ability not to get drunk easily, perhaps Nangong Lin was just as impressive. At least, she certainly drank a lot.

However, Nangong Lin didn’t know this red wine was different from the usual kind; it was a treasured collection from B Country’s Royal Family, fresh, elegant, aromatic, and with an excellent taste. Initially, it tasted like juice, very palatable, but it had quite a strong aftereffect.

So Nangong Lin didn’t feel it at first and was so engrossed in conversation that she didn’t notice.

It wasn’t until later, when her head started to feel heavy, that she realized she couldn’t drink anymore.

After the meal, the Queen reluctantly held onto Nangong Lin for a while before finally letting her go.

Nangong Lin was feeling light-headed and seeing stars, but the Queen didn’t show any signs of intoxication at all.

The Queen was about to leave and specially instructed Alvin to escort Nangong Lin back to her room, then gave each of them a warm goodbye kiss, and John escorted her out.

Nangong Lin watched the Queen leave with steady steps, which appeared very peculiar.

Her own tolerance wasn’t bad!

Why was she the one drunk while the Queen was unaffected?

This was quite a mystery.

Nangong Lin suspiciously glanced at Alvin, her beautiful eyes squinting slightly. Could this brat have drugged her?

The possibility was indeed high!

But she dared not confirm it.

"Miss Nangong, let me walk you back to your room," Alvin stood up politely, ready to assist her.

However, Nangong Lin wasn’t as polite to Alvin as she was to the Queen. She stood up first, waving him off, "Don’t touch me, I can walk on my own, no need for your help!"

Her room was just next door; even with her eyes closed, she could surely find her way back, right? There was no need for him to accompany her.

Stubbornly, Nangong Lin walked to her room. Given her dizziness from the wine, her steps were rather erratic. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Alvin, worried she might fall, tagged along behind her.

Nangong Lin, though wobbling, managed to make it to her door and took out her key to open it.

One attempt, two attempts, three attempts, yet the door wouldn’t open, and then the key clattered to the ground.

"Darn it!" Nangong Lin couldn’t help but curse and then bent down to pick up the key.

Just as she fumbled around a couple of times, a strong hand lifted her up, "Stop groping, that’s my leg."

Nangong Lin blinked, huh?

When she realized it was Alvin, she was embarrassed. Damn, why did Alvin follow her?

"The key is here." Alvin picked up the key for Nangong Lin, his face slightly flushed as he offered, "Let me help you open the door."
