Married at First Sight Chapter 4518

Thinking about how the only man who had interacted with her daughter over the years was Zhan Wei—her so-called mortal enemy—Lan’s mother couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

“Ruoruo, Zhang Cheng is a good man. He has a calm temperament. Try getting along with him for a while. If you find he suits you, consider marrying him. Our families are already familiar with each other.”

“If you marry him, our whole family can relax. He lives close by, and if the Zhang family dares to mistreat you, we can step in and stand up for you.”

Lan Ruoruo replied, “If Zhang Cheng dares to bully me, I’ll beat him up, crack his head open, and make sure he learns his lesson!”

Lan’s mother: “…”

This girl really is a bit too fierce.

Ordinary men probably wouldn’t dare to marry her.

“Alright, let’s go downstairs. Don’t keep Zhang Cheng waiting too long. And remember—don’t get drunk at the banquet tonight. I’ve already asked Zhang Cheng to keep an eye on you and make sure you don’t overdo it.”

“You know how you get when you’re drunk—you like to flirt with handsome men.”

“If you end up teasing Zhang Cheng, that’s fine. Worst case, you’ll just have to take responsibility for him. But if you flirt with someone else…”

“Mom, I can’t get drunk that easily. Don’t worry. Most men can’t even drink as much as I can,” Lan Ruoruo cut her off, trying to ease her concern.

Her alcohol tolerance had improved. She might’ve gotten drunk once or twice before, but now it hardly ever happened.

Unless she pretended to be drunk.

Or unless she drank strong liquor—then she’d definitely be affected.

Still, strong spirits weren’t usually served at banquets, since people didn’t want to get too drunk before discussing business.

“I know you can handle your alcohol,” her mother said. “But it’s not about a thousand safe times—I’m just worried about that one exception. What if you’re in a bad mood, drink too much, and get drunk? Especially if you run into your mortal enemy at the banquet and it puts you off balance.”
If she ended up teasing her mortal enemy, things could get messy.

But Lan’s mother chose not to say that out loud.

“I understand. I won’t let myself get drunk. Zhan Wei will be at the banquet tonight. I’ve heard he can hold his liquor, though I haven’t actually competed with him in drinking yet.”

They rarely attended the same events, so they’d never had a direct drinking contest.

If the chance arose tonight, she wouldn’t mind drinking with Zhan Wei. It might even give her something new to laugh about at his expense.

“Mom, I’m heading out,” Lan Ruoruo said, standing up and walking away, eager to escape her mother’s endless reminders.

Lan’s mother naturally followed after her.

“If you run into Zhan Wei tonight, keep your temper in check. Don’t frighten Zhang Cheng. Your father and I really like him and hope he can be our son-in-law.”

Lan Ruoruo replied, “Everyone in Yangcheng knows Zhan Wei and I are sworn enemies. If Zhang Cheng gets scared off just because I clash with my enemy, then he’s not the right man for me.”

“…Zhang Cheng is very well-mannered,” her mother said carefully.

Lan Ruoruo shrugged. “No matter how polite he is, he’s still a grown man. He shouldn’t be that easy to scare.”

“Alright, I can’t argue with you. I’m just a little uneasy. I have a feeling something unpleasant might happen at the banquet tonight.”

“Mom, I’m not a child anymore. I’m not going to cause any trouble.”

“If you’re that worried, why don’t you come with me?”

Lan’s mother immediately declined, “Banquets go too late and ruin my sleep. I’ll pass.”
