Qi Rui shot a glance at Xiao Qi, her expression saying, "What do you know, this is clearly an act."
And accompanying them was He Chengze, who only uttered a sound when Su Xiaong asked, "Why are you still here?" After that, he didn’t speak anymore.
It was only after the hotel manager entered the elevator that he explained, "Our hotel has liquor cabinets in all oversized private rooms. The wine in these cabinets is ant for decoration when guests don’t need them."
Liquor cabinet?
Qi Rui’s heart sank for a mont.
"But each cabinet contains two or three high-quality wines. After you left, the staff went to clean the room and found several bottles from the cabinet had been opened and stuffed under the table. The staff was careless and didn’t notice when settling the bill."
Qi Rui’s face turned a little pale. Those wines... weren’t supposed to be opened?
Yin Shixiu looked at Su Xiaong, "Did you guys drink?"
"Um... only the guys had a bit, not !" Su Xiaong quickly shook her head and waved her hands.
"I thought you wouldn’t dare."
Su Xiaong pursed her lips. She only drinks a couple of sips when she’s with soone she likes and is in a celebratory mood.
On a night as stifling as tonight, who would drink that much? Besides... she still had two babies in her belly!
"...Later I called to have the monitoring checked, and indeed it was a girl who opened them."
The hotel manager quickly interjected.
At this mont, Qi Rui was feeling awful, her face alternating between red and white.
How would she know these wines weren’t supposed to be opened? They looked similar to the ones on their table.
If they weren’t ant to be opened, why put them in the private room?
Su Xiaong sighed, "Alright, let’s first see who it was, then I’ll contact the class monitor... But how much did those wines cost, to make such a big deal?"
The hotel manager smiled faintly and casually ntioned a shocking number.
"Are you robbing us?!"
Su Xiaong was about to exclaim but didn’t expect soone else to react more intensely!
Qi Rui regretted speaking out imdiately, hastily grabbing her boyfriend’s sleeve.
Sixty-seven thousand...
That’s for just three bottles, and she only sampled a little from each...
Su Xiaong glanced at Qi Rui, her mind suddenly clear, "Oh dear! Qi Rui, could you be the one who’s done this foolish thing?"
Qi Rui bit her lip and glared at Su Xiaong, saying with complete confidence, "Classmates’ gathering, it’s AA." (split bill)
"Pfft—haha!"
Su Xiaong laughed ungracefully and then amusingly asked, "Would you dare to tell everyone in the group to split this sixty-seven thousand?"
Qi Rui certainly wouldn’t dare; although she was arrogant and proud, she still had basic intelligence.
Sixty-seven thousand would an splitting it across the twenty or so classmates present tonight would be two to three thousand per person. They were all just students; who would want to pay for her mistake?
While Su Xiaong found Qi Rui’s idea funny, she also believed Qi Rui might find a solution.
After all...
"Your boyfriend has money, what’s there to be afraid of?"
Xiao Qi chuckled at those words, imdiately saying, "Even if I have money, I’m not going to be a fool paying for this."
Upon hearing this, Qi Rui’s temper couldn’t be held back!
"Xiao Qi, what do you an?"
Xiao Qi laughed lightly, slowly removing her hand from his clothes, "A woman who can’t tell the difference between brand-na wine and regular drinks wants to spend big money for her? Is it worth it?"
As their group moved to the reception area, Xiao Qi didn’t follow but left one remark, "Qi Rui, I’m a bit tired; let’s break up in peace."
"Xiao Qi! Stop right there!"
Qi Rui rushed forward with reddened eyes, grabbing Xiao Qi forcefully, "Explain what ’break up in peace’ ans? You said you loved !"
"Isn’t it normal for a man to say he loves a woman in bed?"
Xiao Qi raised an eyebrow, showing a playboy deanor.
Qi Rui raised her hand intending to hit him, but before the slap landed, her wrist was firmly grasped by Xiao Qi.
"Can you not act like a shrew? Do you really think I’d want to be with an ordinary girl like you?"
Xiao Qi squinted his eyes, "It’s just a ga, little girl, don’t take it too seriously."
Qi Rui’s eyes widened, and she felt her whole body weaken.
Xiao Qi entered the elevator, and as the doors closed, he let out a long sigh.
Goodness, it’s fortunate that he had t Yin Shixiu a few tis through his father; otherwise... would he be destroyed by that reckless woman without realizing it?
Such a dramatic change; who could have foreseen?
The girl who seed worthless during the dinner was now the one who looked more worthless herself.
The hotel manager was awkward by the side, unsure whether to bring up the compensation now or wait a little longer.
He Chengze, who’s been mostly quiet, had a fairly calm personality.
Sixty-seven thousand wasn’t a small sum, but it was within his ans.
Class reunions are mainly about preserving relationships.
He reached for his wallet—
"Uncle? What are you doing?!"
But He Chengze didn’t expect his wallet hadn’t been retrieved yet when Yin Shixiu handed a card to the hotel manager.
Su Xiaong was shocked and widened her eyes!
"The sooner it’s resolved, the sooner we can go ho."
"Wait a minute, are you crazy? Even if it’s to resolve sothing, it’s the culprit who should pay for it! Aren’t you just splurging money right and left? Sixty-seven thousand! It’d take forever to count that!"
Su Xiaong was genuinely anxious!
Not to ntion the trouble Qi Rui caused, even if it was her fault, Yin Shixiu shouldn’t spend such an amount just like that!
Moreover, Qi Rui was still badmouthing her! Why should her boyfriend pay for such a spiteful woman?
The hotel manager tentatively asked, "So... Should I—"
"Swipe it."
Yin Shixiu said calmly, not changing his mind because of what Su Xiaong said.
Qi Rui looked at Yin Shixiu in a daze...
His hair wasn’t exactly black, leaning more towards an ancient brown, and his well-defined features appeared quite noble, his steady eyebrows and eyes exuded the irresistible charm of a mature man...
Handso beyond belief... This adjective is exaggerated yet not exaggerated.
"Uncle! You—"
"This classmate reunion, let’s say I hosted it. This way, I also have a reason to ask your classmates to take better care of you in every aspect."
Su Xiaong was slightly stunned.
"At least you won’t be unable to catch a ride ho alone after the reunion in a snowy night, nor will anyone say anything nonsensical to you."
Yin Shixiu spoke softly, but his eagle-like eyes inadvertently swept over Qi Rui.
Qi Rui swallowed, feeling guilty...
Su Xiaong pouted her cheeks, feeling sowhat unbalanced until she left the hotel.
They got into the car.
Seeing Qi Rui also sitting in the back seat, her heart was even more inexplicably depressed.
It was her who decided to take Qi Rui along out of goodwill, but once she got in, she wanted to kick her out...
They returned to the neighborhood close to eleven o’clock.
Su Xiaong fell asleep shortly after getting in the car, and even when it stopped, she didn’t wake up.
"Brother, my house is just—"
"Shh..."
Qi Rui had just spoken when Yin Shixiu turned to signal her to keep silent, then waved his hand, indicating she could get out.
"Thank..."
She wanted to say sothing more, but... Yin Shixiu’s eyebrows furrowed suddenly, looking at her with obvious impatience.
Qi Rui got out of the car.
She didn’t walk far before turning around, looking through the front car window, she saw—
Yin Shixiu wrapped his coat around Su Xiaong again, wearing only a thin sweater himself. He walked around to the other side, opened the car door, and carefully carried Su Xiaong out.
Her eyes held jealousy and envy.
Every ti Xiao Qi ca to pick her up, he just sat in the driver’s seat, rolled down the window, and waved at her, regardless of rain or snow...
She had never fallen asleep in Xiao Qi’s car, Xiao Qi’s driving was always fast and reckless, showing off...
When she saw Yin Shixiu tightly wrap Su Xiaong in a scarf and coat, then hold her in his embrace, she knew that man truly cared for Su Xiaong.
The entire trip too, originally the car was driving quite fast, but after Su Xiaong fell asleep, the speed clearly decreased, becoming steady.
She was soone who cared deeply about gains and losses...
Just one evening, all her sense of superiority in front of Su Xiaong vanished, not only that, it seed the two had switched places...
She was sowhat unable to accept this disparity.
Her phone kept vibrating, she opened it...
The WeChat class group had already exploded.
Su Xiaong nestled against Yin Shixiu, snowflakes falling behind them, just a photo of their backs was enough to prove many things.
He Chengze, though quiet, said everything that needed to be said without missing a word.
Qi Rui closed her phone, gritting her teeth, her hand clenched into a fist...
Why is it that the one who gets everyone’s love is always Su Xiaong?!
"Uncle..."
Su Xiaong wrapped her arms around Yin Shixiu’s neck, she had woken up.
"Hmm?"
"Why did you co here?"
Su Xiaong looked at his chin with big eyes, mumbling.
"...I heard soone saying they missed ."
Su Xiaong’s face suddenly flushed, her legs swung about embarrassedly.
This shy little look... How can it be so captivating?
It made Yin Shixiu feel parched and tongue-tied.
"Alright, Uncle, put down now, I’m sure I’m really heavy..."
Yin Shixiu’s eyebrow moved slightly, "...Were you light before?"
Yin Shixiu chuckled lightly, pecking her lips.
"Don’t sneak attack !"
Su Xiaong muttered two sentences.
"Since you’re awake, wait here for a bit."
Su Xiaong blinked, only to see Yin Shixiu pull a few gift bags from the car and walk over.
"What’s this?"
She asked.
Yin Shixiu didn’t reply, just gestured for her to knock on the door.
Su Xiaong glanced at him, the door was opened by Su Chengji, seeing the person outside was Yin Shixiu, his face was filled with delight, so happy he couldn’t close his mouth!
"Xiao Yin! Didn’t you say you were busy and wouldn’t co?"
"Fooled Xiao ng."
Yin Shixiu said casually, little did people know how many lies he told to make this trip.
"Coming is enough, why bring stuff!"
Yin Shixiu changed his shoes, then handed a slightly heavier gift box to Su Chengji, "Uncle, this is for you."
"Oh my, my, my! Too kind, too kind!"
After saying that, Su Chengji sat on the sofa hugging the gift he received and started to unwrap it.
