nWhen everyone expected to see a rejection, Lu Jingye took the alcohol from Zi Yi and said, “Thanks.”

nEveryone present: “…”

nThat was somewhat different from their expectations!

nHe Fei suddenly had a sense of crisis. He panicked and raised his glass towards Lu Jingye. “Second Brother, Yiyi and I will be family in the future. Please take care of us.”

nZi Yi looked at He Fei with slightly narrowed eyes.

nHe Fei felt her gaze and drank the alcohol before she could interrupt.

nJust as he drank the alcohol, he felt warm and asked Ouyang Ming. “Ah Ming, did your air conditioner break down? Why do I find it warm?”

nEveryone looked at him with a strange gaze.

nOuyang Ming clicked his tongue. “I think you’re feeling hot in your heart instead. The air-conditioning here is so cold that one would get goosebumps. Yet, you still find it warm?”

n“Is that so?” He Fei suddenly looked toward Zi Yi and grinned. “Then it must be because the person I like is here.”

nHis words had caused a round of hubbub.

n*Whistle*

n“Wow~”

nZi Yi looked at He Fei’s reaction, then at Zi Lian’s expression that was already slightly flushed. A sharp glint flashed through her eyes

nShe picked up the glass and raised it towards He Fei. “Even though I don’t fancy you, your courage is commendable.”

nAfter she said that, she raised the glass towards Lu Jingye and drank it.

nZi Yi drank for his sake and He Fei was delighted. He hastily filled up his cup and drank it.

nLu Jingye had also followed suit.

nWhen everyone saw that Lu Jingye drank, the atmosphere warmed up.

nMany people started to propose a toast to him.

nHowever, Lu Jingye was very disciplined. He stopped after the second cup.

nNo one dared to propose a toast after he refused.

nSome went back to dance while the rest of the men circled around Lu Jingye to chat about financial affairs. The women also looked at him with admiration and loving gazes.

nZi Yi was more concerned about He Fei and Zi Lian, along with Xiang Wei who furtively looked her way.

nXiang Wei found it weird.

nWhy hadn’t Zi Yi reacted?

nCould it be that the staff had spiked the wrong glass?

nJust as she was about to observe the others who were served the alcohol, Zi Liang could no longer endure it. Her eyes kept shifting to He Fei as she was wondering why he had yet to leave.

nHe Fei had also felt something off just then. He immediately realized the alcohol was spiked and he was so angry that he wanted to kill someone. He stood up with an unchanged expression and said, “I’m heading to the restroom. You guys can continue.”

nAfter that, he walked in the direction of the restroom.

nWhen Zi Lian saw that he left, she rejoiced and followed behind eagerly.

nXiang Wei saw He Fei and Zi Lian walking in the direction of the restroom and thought about what He Fei had said earlier. Her expression changed and she immediately stood up.

nJust then, Zi Yi called out to her. “Xiang Wei.”

nHer voice was not loud, but everyone nearby had heard her.

nAll their gazes shifted to Zi Yi and Xiang Wei.

nXiang Wei looked at her with a frown.

nZi Yi suddenly looked up at her, released a trace of mental energy, and said, “Let’s toast.”

nXiang Wei subconsciously picked up the glass and drank it. She seemed to have forgotten what she was about to do and sat down again.

nAt that moment, Lu Jingye who was in a conversation with the rest suddenly glanced at Zi Yi.

nZi Yi gave him a smile, deliberately raised her glass to propose a toast, and emptied the glass.

nLu Jingye’s eyes flashed with disapproval.

nNot only did she skip classes, participate in racing cars, and climb over walls, she even drank!

nOld man Dou’s granddaughter should not act like this!
