Yan Su didn’t take her words seriously. She had wasted years on her relationship. She hadn’t gotten over it yet, and she didn’t believe in love anymore.
Nian Junting and Luosang changed into formal wear, then started to make toasts with all the guests, table by table. Since Luosang was pregnant, she was drinking water. A lot of Nian Junting’s army friends had e to the wedding. They were all good at drinking and even dragged over Nian Junting, pouring liquor into his mouth, glass by glass. They only released him when he was drunk. Luosang couldn’t stop them.
As Nian Junting’s groomsman and best friend, Xiao Si sat by Ji Nuanyi’s side, refusing to drink any alcohol. He was soon dragged off his seat by a group of friends and got very drunk.
After the meal, Ji Nuanyi went to the bathroom to touch up her makeup, preparing to leave.
Xiao Si glanced at her back, then abruptly stood up, stuttering, “I… have made up my mind. Today, I will… make her my girlfriend.”
Luosang gave a start. “Eh… Calm down…”
Before she finished, Xiao Si slapped the table, stood up and then shambled toward the bathroom.
Luosang attempted to stop him, but Nian Junting didn’t let her. “Let him go while he’s drunk, or he’ll never have the guts to tell her about his feelings. He’s such a coward. All he can do is stay at home, looking at dirty magazines.”
Luosang didn’t know what to say.
In fact, she was worried that Xiao Si might follow Ji Nuanyi into the ladies’ room.
In the ladies’ room, Ji Nuanyi took out her foundation powder, and carefully observed herself in the mirror to see which part of her makeup needed to be fixed.
It wasn’t easy being a star. People might take pictures of her at any moment. She always needed to be gorgeous.
An Lan came over to wash her hands. Seeing Ji Nuanyi, she smiled and said, “Miss. Ji, you are prettier than your photos.”
Ji Nuanyi knew her as the legal adviser of Shengting. Currently, she was in charge of many cases that were related to Yuxi. Ji Nuanyi had met An Lan a few times in Yuxi.
“Miss Lan, you are pretty too,” she said. “I’ve heard about the case of Sangsang’s father. You were amazing.”
“Thank you. Can I have your signature? My mom is a fan of yours.” An Lan took out her notebook.
Once Ji Nuanyi signed her name, the door was opened violently.
Xiao Si bumped into the wall, along with the door.
A few other ladies who were washing their hands were frightened, and hurriedly ran out.
Ji Nuanyi frowned slightly. An Lan put the notebook back into her pause, then walked to Xiao Si and reminded him kindly saying, “Mr. Xiao, you’re in the wrong place. This is the ladies’ room…”
“I am… where I need to be. I want to be here.” Xiao Si leaned against the door. His legs were trembling. Hearing An Lan’s voice, he suddenly grasped her hands and said, “Nuanyi, I’m here for you.”
An Lan was surprised. She glanced at Ji Nuanyi, then gave a faint smile and said, “I…”
“Don’t, don’t say anything.” Xiao Si raised his head. The world in his eyes was spinning, and the people he saw were blurred. His brain was even burning. “Nuanyi,” he said. “I am your boss. Now, I… order you, to be my girlfriend. I know you love money. It’s… okay. You’ll make a lot of money. You want the Oscar award? Fine. I’ll invest in films for you. You see? You can’t always focus on your work. You need to fall in love, or, your beauty would be wasted.”
An Lan didn’t know how to react. “Mr. Xiao…” she said.
“I haven’t finished yet,” Xiao Si interrupted her and said, “I think we are a good match for each other. You like food, so do I. You are pretty, and I’m handsome; I have dimples. I’ll always smile for you.”
