She hadn’t come back since she left the house in the afternoon? Where could a pregnant woman like her go?

Bai Xiao looked at the reply on his phone and narrowed his eyes. He wanted to send a message to Hu Ke to ask where she was, but he realized that they had not exchanged contact information until now.

Bai Xiao replied to Bian Fang in frustration, [I understand.] Then, he put down his phone.

He hesitated for a long time, but in the end, he didn’t ask Bian Fang if she had Hu Ke’s contact information. Compared to his wife, who had mysteriously appeared, he hoped to see Fox today and ask if she could specially serve him.

When Bai Xiao arrived at the bar, a waiter immediately came to receive him.

Someone who had an annual membership in 1943 was also a key client.

Bai Xiao was led to his seat. As soon as he sat down, someone handed him a drink list. On it were the drinks that Fox would make today. He could choose one on it.

Bai Xiao casually pointed at Gimlet. He remembered that this alcohol best displayed the fragrance of gin. After hesitating for a moment, he asked the waiter if he could add another cup of coffee alcohol.

The waiter smiled and said that Gimlet could be made by Fox, but the coffee alcohol could only made by other bartenders. Fox’s rules could not be broken.

Bai Xiao agreed.

He wanted to experiment once. Was it only the alcohol made by Fox that could treat his taste buds, or was it just the coffee-flavored alcohol?

The two glasses of alcohol he ordered were quickly delivered to him. At the same time, there was also a snack and fruit plate. Bai Xiao hesitated for a moment and chose to try the coffee alcohol first.

The color was the same as the last time he drank it. Bai Xiao drank it in one gulp and realized that he did not taste the taste of the alcohol.

He took a piece of watermelon and placed it in his mouth. Other than the full juice, he did not taste any sweetness.

Could it be that only Fox’s alcohol was useful?

Bai Xiao picked up the glass of Gimlet. The opaque alcohol swayed slightly in the glass, emitting a faint fragrance.

Bai Xiao took a sip cautiously. In the next second, the fragrance of the golden alcohol filled his entire mouth.

Bai Xiao’s eyes lit up. He quickly put another piece of watermelon in his mouth and began to count how long his taste buds could last.

Five seconds later, the fruit in his mouth became tasteless.

Bai Xiao picked up the cup. This time, he drank half as much as the first sip. His sense of taste lasted for almost ten seconds.

Bai Xiao made up his mind and drank the remaining two-thirds of the alcohol in one gulp. This time, his sense of taste lasted for almost two minutes.

Bai Xiao looked at the numbers he had recorded and his hands trembled slightly.

A cup of 50 milliliters of alcohol could maintain his sense of taste for about two to three minutes. If he could ask Fox to mix the alcohol for him and drink a little before every meal, would he be able to enjoy the complete meal?

Bai Xiao left the private room and expressed to the waiter that he wanted to see their boss.

The waiter helped him convey the message to Wen Huai. After receiving a reply, he brought Bai Xiao to the back of the bar.

After leaving the dance floor and the bar, the space seemed exceptionally quiet. Bai Xiao sized up the surrounding decorations.

Van Gogh’s “Sunflower” and Monet’s “Sunrise” were two imitation paintings that hung most prominently on the wall. The rest were oil paintings.

The surrounding wallpaper was also different from the front hall. It was no longer a black absorbent color. Instead, it was an elegant Morandi color palette.

The wall lights shone softly. If not for the DJ music coming from the front hall, Bai Xiao would have thought that he was watching an art exhibition.

The office was on the fourth floor. The waiter brought Bai Xiao to the elevator. The moment the elevator door closed, Bai Xiao saw a very familiar figure. It was Hu Ke!

When Bai Xiao left, he remembered the fire control map. It seemed like she was heading towards the warehouse.

Bai Xiao frowned unhappily. Hu Ke looked gentle and quiet, but why was he so familiar with the bar’s environment in private?

Didn’t the information his assistant gave him say that she was the eldest daughter who had been protected by the Hu family for more than 20 years?

However, it made sense. If she was really so innocent, she would not have crawled into his bed back then. Now, she would not have his child in her stomach. When he thought of how he had been schemed against, Bai Xiao’s expression turned cold.
