Chapter 1236
Zuko was nowpletely sober. He hadn’t had time to react when Nichs dragged him away, and
then his ears were filled with the man’s voice narrating how he had made full use of the washboard
back in the day, how he had pacified Linda, and so on.
While listening to the stories, Zuko found another ss of vodka in his hand. By the end of it, he had
lost track of how much he had drunk.
In a daze, he felt a soft hand hooking onto his arm, and a gentle voice whispered in his ear, “You’ve
had so much to drink. What do we do now?”
“Let Zuko stay here! He’s not an outsider,” Linda said.
“Which room should he stay in?” Lina asked.

When Zuko woke up, he was lying in a beautiful princess room—Lina’s. The air was filled with a
familiar fragrance, and a lovely thought crossed his mind.
He had drunk too much yesterday, and it seemed Lina had helped him.
‘Did we have…’
Zuko couldn’t control his smile and subconsciously felt the space beside him.
However, there was no residual warmth. He lifted the nket and noticed that his clothes were intact.
Nothing had happened. It seemed that the beautiful thought was just his imagination.
Zuko sighed, feeling the lingering effects of alcohol from yesterday as his temples throbbed. The
fragrance of the pillow made him unable to resist his wandering thoughts, and he buried his face in it to
sniff it repeatedly. Then he moved on to the nket. After that, he rolled around on the bed, chuckling
to himself in satisfaction.
Suddenly, he realized that he should not be content with just this. No, of course not!
He was about toe up with a naughty idea when Lina walked in with some drinks and breakfast,
cing it gently on the bedside table.
Zuko quicklyy down and pretended to be asleep.
Lina felt his forehead with worry. Her soft hand moved from his forehead down his cheek, and
everywhere her fingertips touched, it ignited a wave of heat in Zuko.
The heat did not go beyond his neck, but a certain part of him seemed to have undergone a significant
change.
“Zuko?” Lina called a few times, but he didn’t respond.
She sighed, her eyes full of concern. She gently wiped his face with a warm towel and said softly, “You
shouldn’t force yourself to drink! You drank so much and still can’t wake up… My dad’s already
awake!Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…
“Zuko, Zuko! Did you get alcohol poisoning?”
Upon thinking he was poisoned, Lina panicked and was about to rush out of the room.
“Dad! Mom!”
“Don’t shout!” Zuko sprang up.
Lina froze but turned to see him looking refreshed and not at all like someone being poisoned.
“You…”
Zuko realized that he had gone too far with his acting and smiled awkwardly. “Lina, I’m fine.”
“Really? Nothing’s wrong?” Lina sat beside him and observed him carefully. “You don’t feel
ufortable anywhere?”
Zuko took the opportunity to hold her hand, gently caressing the back of her hand with his thumb.
“Did you hear meing in?” she asked.
Zuko nodded.
“And you were already awake?” she asked.

“Yes…” he replied.
“Then why did you pretend to sleep? You startled me!”
Zuko looked into her eyes. His cold, sharp eyes softened when facing the one he loved.
“When I came to propose yesterday… were Uncle Nichs and Aunt Linda happy with it?”
Lina nced at him and smiled softly. The Hamertons’ wedding gifts were naturally impable, and Le
Esse was amidst the jewelry prepared by Cordelia.
What else could they be unsatisfied with when the Hamertons greatly valued their future daughter-in-
law?
“If they were happy…” Zuko didn’t let go of her hand as he leaned close to her ear and said softly,
“Then let’s get married quickly, alright?”
Lina was stunned. “So soon?”
“Why? Don’t you want to marry me sooner?”
