Jiang Zhiyuan giggled: "Not drinking on such a good night, you’ll regret it later."
"If you drink tonight, you’ll regret it tomorrow!"
An Nan placed a bowl in front of him and looked up, "Eat sothing first."
"Tsk!"
Everyone couldn’t stand it anymore. An Nan, who seed cold and aloof, yet managed such small details so well—Jiang Zhiyuan was truly fortunate.
Jiang Zhiyuan obediently started eating, and while eating, he told everyone: "Don’t mind . I’m happy today, you guys drink and have fun for ."
"Before you drink, at least drink a ceremonial cup with An Nan first, right? It wouldn’t make sense not to have one on such a joyous day."
Qiao Yi, ever the social butterfly, chid in.
So the man who had just taken two bites of food put his chopsticks down again: "Wife, it’s up to you!"
He had already brought the cup to her face, yet said it was up to her.
But An Nan didn’t put up any more resistance. She poured a little wine into his cup, then filled her own.
For so reason, once they toasted, everyone couldn’t help but cheer excitedly.
It seed like all the worries disappeared, and everyone happily celebrated late into the night.
The dinner finally ended at eleven-thirty. While everyone else was okay, Xiaoi managed to drink herself silly.
Zhao Huai tried to carry her, but she pushed him away and clung to Qin Mu’s arm, whining: "Qinqin, you can’t ignore !"
Mu Yichen stood by their side, displeased, frowning while staring at his wife’s arm being hugged, as if to say, "That’s mine."
Zhao Huai stood there with his head down, only hearing soone speaking. He instinctively looked up.
"Take her away!"
It was Mu Yichen’s voice.
Zhao Huai looked at him, his eyes saying: Bro, I want to, but she doesn’t want . What can I do?
Though groggy, Xiaoi clung tightly to Qin Mu’s arm.
As they reached the hotel entrance, An Nan and Jiang Zhiyuan looked back with concern before leaving, asking, "Are you alright?"
"You guys go ahead! It’s fine!"
Qin Mu looked up slightly, smiling to reassure An Nan.
"Alright! Then we’ll be off!"
After Jiang Zhiyuan and An Nan got into their car, Xi ng and Qiao Yi’s car also pulled out. Right before getting in, Xi ng sighed helplessly and spoke to Qin Mu.
Qin Mu nodded.
Before getting in, Qiao Yi patted Zhao Huai on the shoulder: "Bro, don’t hesitate! Quickly take her away!"
Qiao Yi was genuinely worried, having almost lost Xi ng once due to his lack of courage, he didn’t want his buddy to make the sa mistake.
As Xi ng started driving, Qiao Yi buckled his seatbelt and softly asked, "What did you say to Zhao Huai?"
Qiao Yi looked at her, smiling mysteriously: "Just guy talk!"
Xi ng didn’t press further, just rolled her eyes at him.
The night was so cold, it felt like deep winter, though it wasn’t.
Zhao Huai looked up, realizing only he, Xiaoi, Mu Yichen, and Qin Mu remained. Although Mu Yichen was displeased, Xiao i was a girl and close to Qin Mu, and most importantly, she had no other connections here. So, he didn’t say much and patiently waited for Zhao Huai to act.
Qin Mu looked down at her: "Shall I take you back to your friends’ apartnt?"
Still dazed, Xiaoi nodded.
Qin Mu surveyed the area, noting the wind was chill and knowing Xiaoi would definitely catch a cold after drinking so much. Since Zhao Huai wasn’t making any moves, she aid to take Xiaoi to her car when she saw theirs coming up.
Before she could leave, Mu Yichen stretched out a hand, shaking his head at her.
Qin Mu instinctively turned to look at him, and since Mu Yichen wasn’t watching Xiaoi at all, he gestured for their driver to move the car a bit further, then looked at the car behind them.
When Zhao Huai’s car approached, he released Qin Mu’s arm and gave her a knowing look.
Qin Mu understood, yet felt Xiaoi would bla her in the morning!
Looking at Zhao Huai, who suddenly seed to understand, he quickly opened the passenger door of his car.
Qin Mu looked at Zhao Huai with dissatisfied eyes, reluctantly. Zhao Huai nodded to her firmly.
