Under the prompting of everyone in the room, the protagonist was cornered to play dice games with them. She repeatedly excused herself, saying that she was allergic to alcohol, but the crowd did not buy it.

“No worries! You come to play, and your a.s.sistant can drink on your behalf when you lose.”

“Huh?”

Mu Xi found herself forced into a dire situation, but in order to please the crowd, she took up the challenge while pleading to her charge on one side, “s.h.i.+s.h.i.+, you must do well in the game, alright? I’m also not good at drinking!”

Hua Jin was snickering inwardly.

The actress nodded, but with the presence of her bestie’s cheating partner at the scene, she was not in the mood to play at all. With her thoughts wandering off the game, she lost the first round with her a.s.sistant having to drink three gla.s.ses of liquor plus a few bottles of beer.

By then, the young lady’s face was hot and red from the alcohol. Soon, she shook her hand and called it quits.

She would turn drunk if she drank anymore.

Her charge felt so sorry and immediately explained, “I really don’t know how to play this game; how about I withdraw myself from this? I’ll only spoil your fun with my dim wits!”

Only then did the crew give up and stop pestering her.

On the other hand, Gao Nan showed extraordinary skills and drinking capacity with this game, which made the crowd sigh in admiration.

The actress watched him without saying a word, and at this time, her phone vibrated.

She took out her phone. It was her best friend returning her message.

[I’m very well. What’s up?]

A few seconds later, another message appeared: [Huh? You rarely ask about him; what’s wrong?]

She gripped her phone tightly as she read her friend’s reply and gazed at Gao Nan again, and seemingly knowing who she was messaging, the man put on a smug and indifferent smile.

His smile felt extremely abominable to her!

As she watched the couple grimly, Ji Yan, beside Gao Nan, lost the game suddenly and had to gulp down a gla.s.s of alcohol. Thereafter, she pranced into her man’s arms petulantly.

In front of her and the crowd, he kissed her pa.s.sionately on the lips, yet his gaze remained on Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ all the time.

His action was either arrogantly showing off or putting up a silent provocation!

It was enough to make her so angry that her body stiffened.

Hua Jin, who was especially sensitive, could instantly perceive an unexplained tension between her and the man. Glancing at her, he saw her staring deadly at Gao Nan, while the latter returned her look frivolously.

Tugging at her sleeve, he asked curiously, “s.h.i.+s.h.i.+, what’s wrong? Both of you seem to know each other.”

“We don’t just know each other,” replied the actress through gritted teeth.

He was just about to reply to her when Mu Xi, at one side, had a sudden reaction and stood up while covering her mouth. Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+’s attention was drawn to her a.s.sistant at once, asking, “Do you want to throw up?”

Covering her mouth, her a.s.sistant did not say a word and could only nod her head woefully.

“I’ll take you to the bathroom now!”

She took the young lady by her shoulders and headed for the restroom.

Once they reached the bathroom, her a.s.sistant rushed straight in while she stood outside the door instead of heading in, too. She had a hunch that the man would come looking for her; therefore, she simply waited outside.

True enough, half a minute later, Gao Nan appeared behind her.

“I didn’t expect you to be here today. What a rarity!”

The frivolous greeting was definitely in line with his style.

She turned around abruptly and stared hard at the man, sneering. “Is Ji Yan really your girlfriend?”

The man simply replied nonchalantly, “As you have seen.”

There was no hypocritical denial or superfluous defense; he admitted this fact straight to the point.

B*st*rd!

Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ cursed inwardly.

How could there be such a brazen man in this world?
