"Just by chance." Alvin put down the wine glass, "Can you stop thinking everything in a bad way?"

"In the end, you still think I’m a bad guy." Alvin took the initiative to speak, "Do you now feel like you’re looking at me like a villain, thinking everything I do has a motive? Including inviting you to dinner."

"You could say that." Nangong Lin looked at Alvin and answered quite directly.

Anyway, since he was so direct with her, she wouldn’t be coy and say polite things.

It turned out to be like this, as expected, but Alvin’s eyes suddenly darkened.

"Ha." Alvin picked up the wine glass, "Why? Why do you see me as a bad guy? Is it because of what happened with Xiaoran before?"

"Yes." Nangong Lin nodded quite frankly, "That’s right. You’re a foreigner who left your own country to develop in the Empire. Actually, you could have done well in the Empire without coming here. You’re quite famous in the Empire, your music sells well, your concert tickets are in high demand by fans. So why did you come to settle in the Empire and sign here? Moreover, you chose to live next to me. Logically, we weren’t that familiar before, were we?

Right, even if I can understand that we’re in the same circle and have topics to discuss, I really think, with your credentials and superstar status, you don’t need to be based in the Empire. So if you say it wasn’t because of Xiaoran, then who was it for?"

"What if I say it was for you?" Alvin put down the wine glass, his beautiful amber eyes staring straight at Nangong Lin.

Nangong Lin was stunned, slowly raised her eyebrows, widened her eyes, and even her mouth fell open.

John suddenly had a twitch in his brow, damn, is the prince confessing?

He’d better leave quickly!

John sneaked away, while Nangong Lin was still in a daze, not yet having reacted.

After realizing what happened, she felt like she had been struck by lightning, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside.

Then she started laughing, laughing more and more uncontrollably, like she was having a fit.

Seeing her laugh like this, Alvin couldn’t help but smile too, a smile that was elegant and charming, with his eyes still staring straight at her.

Nangong Lin finally managed to stop laughing, still clutching her stomach and gasping, "Alvin, you just decided to act, and you haven’t even received a script yet, but you’re already acting? Are you practicing with me beforehand?" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Saying this, Nangong Lin wanted to laugh again, this must be the best joke she’s heard this year, right?

Thinking about it, she couldn’t help but laugh again, secretly giggling uncontrollably, while Alvin stood up, walked towards her step by step.

"Don’t come over, let me laugh a little longer." Nangong Lin just couldn’t hold it in, seeing Alvin’s serious demeanor only made her want to laugh more!

"Why do you think everything I say is a lie?" Alvin suddenly approached her, bent down, his beautiful amber eyes crashing directly into her alluring gaze.

"Hmm?" He lightly raised the tone, even pinched her chin and lifted it.

For some reason, Nangong still couldn’t stop laughing, "Hahaha, because your acting is so fake, Alvin, listen to me, you really aren’t suited for acting, you..."

Nangong Lin hadn’t finished speaking when Alvin suddenly turned his head and kissed her.

"Mmm..." Nangong Lin was stunned, shocked, extremely shocked.
