Chapter 72

If the wine wasn\'t for drinking, was it for eating?

Qiao Ying looked at him with a look like he was an idiot.

“Drink...???” Qin Yan’s voice was even shaking: “Is it drunk with the mouth? Neat?”

Was it meant literally?

Qiao Ying looked at him strangely for a moment: “How else could Assistant Qin drink it if not with his mouth?” She looked at him again.

Could a carbon-based lifeform ask this?

Someone like this could work with Qin Hanyue?

This person had saved Qin Hanyue’s life before.

“No, I meant, in my understanding, something this expensive would either go into a collection or an auction house.”

Qin Yan: Alright, he has no experience.

One bottle was one thing, but damn, a whole case, this case had to be worth over a billion, right? Brought to drink? Were there such extravagantly rich big shots in a small place like Yuncheng? Not to mention, where could you even buy wines like these?

Were there such powerful figures in Yuncheng?

Just as Qin Yan was thinking this, he saw Qiao Ying had already picked up a bottle, opened it, and the moment the cap fell to the ground, Qin Yan’s heart thumped violently along with it: this bottle was 3.12 million!

“Assistant Qin, have a drink?” Qiao Ying poured herself a glass.

Qin Yan shook his head: “No thank you, Miss Qiao.”

Qin Yan wanted to say: his ordinary stomach couldn’t contain such blessings.

Just then, he saw Qin Hanyue come downstairs, and Qin Yan quickly stood up from the floor, resuming his usual efficiency: “Young Master.”

Qin Hanyue glanced at the box.

Qin Yan hurried to explain: “Miss Qiao’s friend sent her a box of wine.”

Qin Hanyue looked at the shipping information slip pasted on the box. As expected, the sender’s information was all asterisks, including the address.

It had been specially delivered.

“Mr. Qin, please have a drink.” Qiao Ying seemed to recall something and said, “I forgot, Mr. Qin doesn’t drink.”

Qin Hanyue smiled slightly, “I must drink Miss Qiao’s wine.”

Qiao Ying nodded almost imperceptibly without speaking.

Then Qin Hanyue saw her reach out to grab the wine bottle, pour a full glass, and hold it out to him.

Before Qin Hanyue could react, the girl lightly clinked her glass against the one in his hand, making a crisp sound, and said, “Cheers to you.”

Then she tipped back her head and downed it in one go.

The whole set of actions was indescribably cool.

Even the way she held the wine glass was extremely stylish.

Watching Qiao Ying drink wine worth over 3 million like it was water, Qin Yan felt pained to death. This wasn’t wine she was drinking, it was gold!

Qiao Ying poured herself another glass.

Expensive wine was just different. Living another life was worth it just to be able to drink decent wine like this.

“Mr. Qin, drink as you like, it\'s my treat.”

Qiao Ying said this, then took her glass upstairs.

Qin Hanyue looked at the wine in his hand, then back at the girl\'s retreating figure upstairs. A moment later, he chuckled softly.

He had thought when Qiao Ying spoke of inviting him for a drink, it would be around 7:30pm, the most suitable dinner time, at a carefully laid out long table, even if there were no candlelight or roses, there should at least be a nice atmosphere, paired with a steak or something.

It turned out he had imagined too much.

The more Qin Hanyue thought about it, the more he laughed. He shook his head and tipped back the wine in the glass.

The mellow liquid slid over his taste buds, the man\'s sculpted Adam\'s apple bobbed as he drank. Qin Hanyue\'s deep gaze followed the figure in the upstairs corridor, tongue pressing against his cheek.

"Young Master, I just looked this wine up online, the one you drank cost over 3 million, just this case, at least over 10 billion. Miss Qiao said it was a gift from a friend, spending over 10 billion to buy wine as a gift, it must be a life-and-death level of friendship!"

Qin Yan would react indifferently to someone gifting a 10 billion dollar mansion, after all it was commensurate to the value.

But this was wine! Hundreds of thousands per sip, no matter how rich, this was not how things were done!

Qin Yan was implying for Qin Hanyue to investigate Qiao Ying\'s background and this friend.

He had never been so curious about someone before!

However, despite Qin Yan\'s many words, Qin Hanyue only heard four - life-and-death friendship.

Qin Hanyue was silent for a while, then suddenly instructed: "Go find me something."

With the box of wine, Qiao Ying had been in a good mood these days.

That day, she was hugging a laptop typing away upstairs, when someone suddenly knocked on the door.

Without even lifting her head, Qiao Ying called out: "Come in, Mr. Qin."

Qin Hanyue opened the door and entered: "How did Miss Qiao know it was me?"

"There would be no one else." Qiao Ying still didn\'t look up, only silently turned off the screen before Qin Hanyue walked over.

Qin Hanyue unconsciously glanced at her laptop, it was Candy Crush again.

"Does Mr. Qin have something for me?" Qiao Ying put the computer down.

"There\'s something I wanted to give Miss Qiao, she may like it."

Give her a gift? What was this about?

Qiao Ying looked at him, then saw Qin Hanyue take something out of his pocket. Looking closely, Qiao Ying became interested.

Picking up the acupuncture kit Qin Hanyue had placed on the table, Qiao Ying opened it to see rows of slender silver needles inside.

Sure enough, acupuncture needles.

Taking out a few, she examined them carefully. The silver needles glinted under the light, feeling icy cool to the touch like water.

Qiao Ying directly tried inserting a few into her arm.

Seeing Qiao Ying\'s actions, Qin Hanyue knew he had chosen right.

"Where did Mr. Qin find this?" Qiao Ying couldn\'t help asking.

This set of needles was even better than the custom set she had spent several hundred thousand on from Mingshan Hall.

"A chance encounter, I thought Miss Qiao would like it, so I brought it back."

Chance encounter? Qiao Ying thought: I didn\'t take you for someone who could spout nonsense like this.

Let alone this thing only being available domestically, even if war-torn M State really had it, it would be shoddily made. How could it possibly be of such exquisite craftsmanship?

"Mr. Qin went through a lot of trouble to find this, didn\'t he?"

Indeed,

Qin Hanyue had spent considerable manpower scouring all over to buy this from an elderly Chinese medicine practitioner in a neighboring state at a high price.

The elder had refused to sell it at first, saying it was an ancestral heirloom that should be passed down.

Although some effort was expended, at least he had found such an item and was able to give it away.

Qin Hanyue: "As long as Miss Qiao likes it."

Qiao Ying looked at the tiny needle tips in her hand: "I like it. It\'s just in time to use."

That night,

Qiao Ying sat soaking in a bathtub full of water, with over twenty silver needles inserted into her body.

With the last needle going in, Qiao Ying slowly let out a breath.

Waiting silently for half an hour, an oily, grimy substance could be seen slowly surfacing on the girl\'s fair skin.

Reaching out to touch it, there was a sticky feeling.

Removing the needles and holding her breath as she submerged into the bathtub.

The water went over her head,

and an oily film floated to the surface.

When the girl emerged again, her originally fair skin had become even more translucent and lustrous.

After washing off and getting out of the tub, Qiao Ying felt much lighter overall.

After that, every morning when Qin Hanyue woke up, he could see the girl\'s transformation. Already quite fair to begin with, after just a few days her whole being had changed dramatically.

Her porcelain skin was flawless without blemish, seemingly able to be broken with a touch. Her temperament had also improved by several notches, extremely eye-catching.

The change was so obvious that everyone noticed.

Qin Hanyue couldn\'t help but think of that box of wine, which contained some red wine. Red wine was known to nourish the skin. Could it be due to that wine?

Seeing Qin Hanyue looking at her,

Qiao Ying said, "Thank you Mr. Qin for the needles, after a few nights of acupuncture, not only did it detox and nourish the skin, it also helped with slimming down."

It wasn\'t the wine gifted by a male friend, but rather his gifted needles that were the reason.

Qin Hanyue smiled slightly: "It\'s good that Miss Qiao likes it."
