Chapter 581: Wine Tasting Party
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
On the way home, Fali looked at Chen Zhao with a smile in her eyes.
“Chen, you don’t like tight clothes?”
“No.” Chen Zhao shrugged. “But those tight clothes embarrassed me.”
“Actually, you look hot even when you wear that.”
“Then, how about we cosplay tonight?”
“I’m driving. Don’t move.”
“Oh, did you feel that Kate and David are kind of weird?”
“It’s normal,” Chen Zhao said. “The last time we had our housewarming party, Kate didn’t come. David kept hesitating when talking about Kate and even avoided the question.”
“Will they break up?”
Chen Zhao didn’t reply. It wasn’t good to wonder if another couple would break up.
Though Chen Zhao did think that Kate and David wouldn’t last long.
They both had their own ideas.
One was a reporter; one was a police officer.
These two jobs both had irregular schedules.
If they spent most of their time on work, they would definitely have less time for their relationship.
When Chen Zhao and Fali weren’t at work, they spent most of their time together.
That was why their relationship was also stronger than David and Kate.
…
“Kate, it’s already late. Go rest.” David walked out of the bathroom to see Kate still working at her table.
Today was his birthday party, but after his friends left, the atmosphere in the house cooled.
They didn’t have the passion from when they first met.
Now, they were familiar yet distant lovers.
Because of their work, it was difficult to find time for each other.
In the four months of knowing each other, they didn’t even have time to eat a meal together.
Especially last time for Chen Zhao and Fali’s housewarming party, Kate had missed it to due work and they’d had a big fight.
“Okay, I’ll rest after I finish this.” Kate didn’t look back.
She was holding the picture of Chen Zhao dressed as spiderman.
These pictures looked funny.
David was also in the picture, laughing happily.
He only had that genuine and relaxed smile when he was with his friends.
Suddenly, a strange thought flashed past Kate’s mind.
January third, Leonardo’s birthday.
Kate found a video on the computer. This was the footage from the building climbing group.
It was also filmed on January third and the star of the video was also wearing a spiderman costume.
Kate compared the video with the picture. She sharpened the video and then transferred the picture into her laptop to compare further.
The software displayed that the two were 99% similar!
Kate’s expression changed. Chen Zhao was the man?
How could it be Chen Zhao?
Kate hesitated. She didn’t know how to take care of this.
She knew what had happened in CL Building on the night of the third.
Philip Quinn, the millionaire living in the penthouse, had been attacked. According to the hypotheses, the attacker had broken in.
This meant that Chen Zhao had climbed more than 100 floors to attack Philip.
However, Kate also knew about Philip’s past.
He was a complete and utter b*stard.
In the end, Kate chose to press delete.
She would pretend that this never happened or that she didn’t know anything at all.
Not only was Chen Zhao a friend of David, he was also her friend.
Disregarding Chen Zhao’s status and what he’d done, Kate didn’t think that he was wrong.
Perhaps Kate couldn’t be a hero.
Thus, she would just stay silent.
…
“Hello, Mr. Rasfa. I’m very honored to receive your invitation.”
Rasfa looked at the guests in the manor. They were all top figures of L.A.
Of course, they all had a similar trait: rich. Very rich.
Right then, Paul walked over. “Sir, the guests are pretty much all here.”
Rasfa nodded. “Get things prepared.”
He took out a goblet and clinked his spoon onto it.
“Ladies and gentlemen, can I say something?”
Rasfa had the right to speak among these guests.
“Rosquey, I didn’t invite you here for a blind date. Can you let go of the lady beside you?”
All the guests chuckled. Rosquey shrugged helplessly.
“Rasfa, your wine-tasting party is too boring. You didn’t even prepare a bottle of wine. What are we supposed to taste?”
“The wine will be here soon.” Rasfa waved and Paul brought the Purple Brew out with both hands.
“I bought this wine from the far east with a great fortune.”
Everyone looked at the Purple Brew’s exquisite packaging. They were curious about the wine that made Rasfa invite so many upper-class figures.
“Rasfa, there’s only one bottle?” a bearded man asked. “Are you sure it’s enough for all of us?”
“This is wine-tasting, not an all-you-can-drink.”
Rasfa replied easily. After all, he had a few of these banquets, feasts, and parties every month.
He’d dealt with all sorts of things before. Today was just a small matter.
“Oh, I have a question before the wine-tasting begins,” Rasfa said. “What is your deepest memory? No need to answer me now.”
He picked up the Purple Brew and opened it.
In an instant, the mesmerizing fragrance seeped into the crowd.
People who smelled the wine for the first time would involuntarily think of a certain point of their life or a relationship.
It might not be romance, but family or friendship.
Rasfa was already immune to the fragrance, but if he drank it, memories would still flash past his eyes.
He’d already forgotten some of them, but he would remember again after drinking.
This was a special experience. Rasfa even thought that this wasn’t wine but emotions.
Some of the guests in the hall were murmuring. Others shed tears by themselves.
Even others were already sobbing and breaking down.
Strong and deep memories and feelings all flooded out now.
Even the ones who thought they were strong couldn’t resist the intense emotions.
They were all immersed in the feelings.
Rasfa smiled at the tearful guests. He had a satisfied expression.
Even though he’d had the same reaction when he first tried the wine, at least he didn’t lose it in front of so many people.
