Glancing at Jian Tan’s back view as he was pulled away by Sun Wei, Xia Wei casually took a glass of red wine from the waiter’s tray. After glancing around from the corner of her eye, she paced to hide at an observation platform that could see the night scenery downstairs.

She had been wearing high heels for the entire afternoon. Only then did she realize that the soles of her feet were a little sore and uncomfortable. However, it was not appropriate for her to show it directly on such a flashy occasion. She could only lean gently on the armrest and distract herself with the comfortable night wind.

Just as Jian Tan had said previously, the food and beverages at the banquet were very good and special. Even the red wine of the guests at the banquet was not ordinary. Xia Wei took a sip and narrowed her eyes happily, not noticing that there were already several pairs of eyes on her!

Jiang Xiao casually looked at Xia Wei’s graceful back a few meters away. After casually taking two glasses of champagne, he walked behind Xia Wei and said with a smile, “Beijing Hotel is one of the top signature buildings in City A. The night scenery from here is indeed very beautiful. Are you really a person with great taste?”

Hearing the voice behind her, Xia Wei instinctively turned around. Seeing that the person was unfamiliar, she only smiled and replied politely, “Yes, it’s very beautiful.”

Seeing that Xia Wei did not seem to be particularly interested in talking to him, Jiang Xiao was not angry at all. Instead, he took a step closer and raised the glass of champagne in his hand. He glanced at the empty wine glass in Xia Wei’s hand and suggested with a smile, “My name is Jiang Xiao. It’s our first time meeting. Can I borrow a glass of champagne to treat a beauty for a drink?”

When Jiang Xiao mentioned the “our first time meeting”, he even emphasized his tone, as if he was implying something. When he mentioned borrowing a glass of champagne to treat a beauty, he thought that he was very humorous. If not for the fact that he was dressed decently and his posture was quite honest, Xia Wei really wanted to leave!

What kind of tired old opening speech was this? It was so greasy! As she complained in her heart, the smile on Xia Wei’s face faded a little.

She glanced at the champagne in Jiang Xiao’s hand and rejected him gently. “I’m sorry, I don’t like the taste of champagne, so forget it. My friend should be looking for me now. Excuse me.”

As she spoke, she glanced at the clock not far away and naturally said a lie to escape. However, Jiang Xiao was clearly not so easy to dismiss!

Jiang Xiao moved his feet and naturally blocked her exit, but the smile on his face did not fade. “Don’t be in a hurry to leave. I have a lot to tell you!”

Seeing that her path was blocked, Xia Wei looked up at the person in front of her again. There was a hint of danger in her exquisite and beautiful eyes. “Sir, if you drink too much, find a place to sit alone and sober up. It’s not fun to ‘go crazy’ in front of so many people at the banquet, right?”

As Xia Wei spoke, she stood up straight. Her hand that was holding the wine glass nodded at the waiter a few steps away. She looked away from Jiang Xiao and walked around him, wanting to leave this position.

However, before she could take a few steps, Jiang Xiao, who was behind her, grabbed her wrist. Jiang Xiao seemed to have drunk too much and didn’t use any precise strength. Xia Wei’s hand quickly turned red!

Jiang Xiao suppressed the anger in his heart and gritted his teeth as he said helplessly, “It seems that you really don’t remember who I am. It’s only been less than two weeks, but you’ve already forgotten about me? Aren’t you less cute today than when you saved me from the waterfall the other day?”

Xia Wei shook off the other party’s hand without stopping. She frowned and took a step back. Her free hand touched her wrist that was hurting from Jiang Xiao’s grip. She looked up at this rude man coldly. “Are you crazy? If you continue to be so impudent, I’ll call the security officers over! Who cares who you are? I don’t want to talk to you now, understand? Why are you so thick-skinned? Stay away from me. Go away!”

Her scolding of Jiang Xiao was not soft. She quickly attracted the attention of the waiter and the surrounding people, especially Chen Yuan and Xin Xin, who had been paying attention to her!

As if he did not expect this bright great beauty to be so “prickly”, Jiang Xiao was stunned on the spot for a moment. His muddled mind also became clearer. When he reacted, he wanted to apologize to Xia Wei, but the other party clearly had a very poor impression of him at such a first meeting.

“I… I’m sorry, Xia Wei.. I didn’t do it on purpose!”
