"Uh…" Alan was taken aback for a moment, thinking that if he said it was because Lou Xining felt unwell after drinking, the family would surely grow suspicious, wouldn't they?
Rather than giving them something to talk about, it's better to keep everything simple.
"I suddenly remembered the cause of my illness and wanted to discuss it with the doctor immediately. Uncle Li, you know me—if I remember something but don't talk about it, I won't be able to sleep tonight."
Uncle Li responded with an "Oh," finally understanding, "Turns out to be like this, I thought something had happened."
"Hehe…" Alan laughed awkwardly. Although lying isn't easy, managing to get away with it felt pretty good.
With no traffic at night, they quickly arrived at the Lou Family's house.
As Lou Xining's sister had said, the butler was already waiting at the gate for Alan.
Seeing Alan's car arrive, the butler hurried forward to greet, "Miss Murong, you're here."
