Xu Qian smiled faintly, "Long time no see."
Everyone chatted about old times, drinking a little wine, and by the end of the meal, their faces were flushed red.
Hua Ying hiccuped, "Sister Qian, everyone really missed you. You have no idea how much they looked for you everywhere... *whimper*..."
Before she could finish, Gu Qing covered her mouth, "What nonsense are you spouting? Don't talk about these unhappy things."
Gu Qing's face was slightly flushed, and he said hoarsely, "Sister Qian, don't listen to her, everyone is doing well."
Xu Qian pressed her dizzy head. Even if Hua Ying hadn't said it, she knew they had looked for her for a long time after her inexplicable disappearance...
She raised the half-glass of white wine in her hand and drained it.
"My apologies to everyone. If I have time in the future, I'll definitely gather with you all more."
No one was polite, and they all raised their glasses and drank.
Finally, everyone went home in pairs, except for Cheng Liangqing, whose girlfriend was far away.
Cheng Liangqing looked at the backs of the two figures, supporting each other, their heights and builds remarkably well-matched.
Very suddenly, he let go.
She had never belonged to him, nor to any other man; even Mei Yuebai, who held power, had to share her...
The man lowered his head and chuckled. In the end, who would win Xu Qian's heart?
"Master Xixi, I feel a bit like throwing up..."
Mei Yuebai covered his mouth, looking as if he were pregnant.
"If you want to vomit, then vomit."
Xu Qian stumbled as she walked, her consciousness a bit hazy.
"Mmm... if I vomit, it'll stink, I can't vomit."
He was supposed to sleep with Master Xixi tonight.
Xu Qian raised an eyebrow at the sound and smiled, "Where is my surprise?"
He had promised to coax her properly.
Mei Yuebai chuckled, "I'll give it to you tomorrow."
"Find a place to sleep by yourself tonight."
Xu Qian remembered, the beautiful Jin Tian was waiting for her in the room.
"Ah?"
Mei Yuebai looked extremely wronged, his eyes watering as he feigned pity.
"Master Xixi, I was wrong, I was really wrong."
It didn't matter if he was wrong or not; if Master Xixi was angry, he should coax her.
After the two got into the car, it silently started.
Xu Qian closed her eyes and asked coldly, "Where did I go wrong?"
Mei Yuebai leaned on her shoulder, hugging her arm and acting spoiled.
"I was wrong about everything. Just let me sleep in my room, my dearest Master Xixi."
The driver felt goosebumps involuntarily.
By the time they arrived, the driver was numb. Hearing more mushy words, his heart remained unmoved.
He had been the powerful leader's driver for so long, and only today did he realize the leader was so good at sweet-talking. He could barely listen anymore...
Xu Qian was a little annoyed by his clinging, and her heart softened a little, but... Jin Tian was definitely waiting for her in the room.
When faced with the choice of Mei Yuebai or Xiang Jin Tian, she chose Xiang Jin Tian.
In the end, the pitiable leader was sent to the guest room, and Xu Qian even managed to trick him.
If the surprise tomorrow was good enough, she would let him return to her room.
Mei Yuebai patted his chest and guaranteed that she would love the surprise. Then, he voluntarily went to the guest room.
Xu Qian pushed open the door. The room was dimly lit, with only a few oil lamps lit.
Her steps were unsteady as she slowly walked towards the bed.
The man was wearing a simple black cotton pajama set, buttoned all the way to the top.
He was not asleep; he was engrossed in a book, so much so that he didn't even notice her enter.
Xu Qian leaned forward and glanced. A manga, male and female?
An adult comic?
The young woman's lips twitched, and she blew a breath into his ear.
The scent of alcohol was fragrant.
"Jin Tian, why are you studying this? You're already amazing."
Xiang Jin Tian's eyes widened. He didn't know whether to put the book away or not...
Finally, he closed the book and placed it on the pillow.
