The celebration banquet was held at Tayun. When it was almost over, Xie Wei also booked a luxurious private room at a nearby KTV for them to have fun. Xie Wei first took Xu Daiwei and Li Ning home.

Inside that familiar custom-made Cullinan, Xu Daiwei, her cheeks flushed red from drinking, nestled in Xie Wei's arms, murmuring something.

Meanwhile, Li Ning sat quietly in the car without moving, staring blankly ahead.

Xu Daiwei's level of cultivation isn't that high yet; she'll still get drunk after drinking a certain amount. But Li Ning is different; her acquired cultivation allows her to expel the alcohol through sweat.

However, it cannot be ruled out that Li Ning is the type who gets drunk after just one drink; such people will still experience a slight numbing of the brain even after the alcohol is expelled from their bodies.

Therefore, Xie Wei felt that Xu Daiwei was truly drunk, but Li Ning was probably in a state of sobriety but not complete sobriety.

Since Li Ning came to Qiyuan, Xu Daiwei has been much more relaxed. Although Li Ning is Xie Wei's secretary, Xie Wei rarely spends any time in Qiyuan. Li Ning has no choice but to go to Xu Daiwei's side to help.

Upon arriving home, Xie Wei carried Xu Daiwei and had Li Ning pull him along as they entered the villa. Xie Wei first placed Xu Daiwei on her bed in her room, then led Li Ning back to his own room.

Xie Wei poured two glasses of warm water, handing one to Li Ning and telling her to take it easy for a while, and to wash up and go to sleep once she recovered. Li Ning nodded as if she understood.

Xie Wei brought another glass of water to Xu Daiwei's room. Xu Daiwei was wearing a white and pink suit dress with a white blazer, white and pink gradient tights, and white high heels. She looked formal with a touch of playfulness.

Xu Daiwei, who was lying on the bed, seemed to feel unwell and twisted her body, trying to take off her coat.

Xie Wei first took off Xu Daiwei's high heels and put them under the blanket. Then, he supported her upper body and took off her coat. At such close range, Xie Wei was dizzy looking at Xu Daiwei's voluptuous figure.

Xie Wei had no choice but to quickly shift his gaze, take off his coat, pick up the water bottle on the bedside table, and use it to support Xu Daiwei's upper body while calling out to her.

Seemingly her last remaining consciousness was awakened, Xu Daiwei rubbed her eyes, slowly opened them, frowned, and her eyes were still dazed.

"Xiao Wei, drink some warm water, or you'll have a headache tomorrow," Xie Wei coaxed gently.

"Hmm," Xu Daiwei seemed not to be fully awake. It took her several seconds to look at Xie Wei and reach for the water in his hand. Xie Wei tilted the cup slightly downwards to make it easier for Xu Daiwei to drink.

"It's a little hot," Xu Daiwei said, taking a small sip and sticking out her tongue at Xie Wei.

Hearing Xu Daiwei say this, Xie Wei took a small sip, still thinking that it was warm when he held it in his hand and warm when he drank it, not hot. Thinking that Xu Daiwei was confused and had made a mistake, he was about to swallow the water and speak.

The moment the cup was removed from my lips, a delicate fragrance wafted over, accompanied by a face close to mine.

"Mmm," Xie Wei was kissed by Xu Daiwei. Xu Daiwei took the water from Xie Wei's mouth. While Xie Wei was still in a daze, Xu Daiwei still had Xie Wei's lips in her mouth.

A few seconds later, Xie Wei reacted and tried to push Xu Daiwei away. Xu Daiwei opened her mouth, face to face, only a centimeter away from Xie Wei, and said, "Brother, the water here isn't hot. I want to drink more."

After saying that, Xu Daiwei attacked Xie Wei's lips again. Xie Wei tried to push Xu Daiwei away, so he put his hand on the girl's shoulder and gently tried to apply force, which just happened to meet Xu Daiwei's eyes.

The little girl's eyes held a hint of stubbornness and adoration, but when she sensed Xie Wei's actions, a touch of sadness crept in.

Seeing that look in his eyes, Xie Wei softened a little, withdrew his strength, closed his eyes, and switched from defense to offense.

Sensing Xie Wei's attack, Xu Daiwei's eyes seemed to overflow with surprise and joy, and she closed her eyes to enjoy it.

The two engaged in a heated verbal battle for several minutes until Xu Daiwei was out of breath, at which point Xie Wei finally let her go. He placed her on the bed, kissed her lips, covered her with the blanket, and left somewhat disheveled and hunched over.

Looking at Xie Wei's bright red ears, Xu Daiwei, thinking about the changes she had just felt in a certain part of Xie Wei's body, smiled shyly, closed her eyes contentedly, and had a sweet dream.

Xu Daiwei's soft breasts kept rubbing against Xie Wei's chest. Normally it would be fine, but under those circumstances, Xie Wei really couldn't suppress them.

But Xie Wei was able to control his desires, knowing that now was not the time, and the girl was not yet fully awake.

But the truth is, Xu Daiwei was faking being drunk. All her actions tonight were intentional; the girl originally just wanted to take advantage of the situation to kiss Xie Wei. But Xie Wei's subsequent initiative was an unexpected surprise tonight.

It's a pity Xie Wei didn't know these things. If he did, he probably wouldn't need to take a cold shower to cool down like he is now.

After calming down, Xie Wei lay on the bed, reflecting on what had just happened. He had taken the initiative, something he hadn't expected, but he understood that he had fallen for the girl he called his little sister.

That's why I softened when I saw the look in her eyes at that time, and I didn't want to disappoint her. I wanted her to understand my feelings, so I took the initiative.

But thinking of certain things, Xie Wei's eyes still revealed some sadness. "Oh well, since I'm here, I might as well make the best of it," Xie Wei could only console himself with this thought.

...The Chen family...

Chen Rong was still in her room reviewing documents. She was exhausted these past few days, not only because she was busy with company affairs, but also because she had to deal with her family's aggressive demands for reduced allowances.

After finally managing to cover up the investigation and getting his parents' and Chen Feng's allowances back up, things calmed down for a few days. Just when he was about to breathe a sigh of relief...

The Chen family matriarch found out about the Chen family head's affairs outside the home. Chen Feng, for some reason, started to take a liking to makeup and often raised his pinky finger. Chen Rong also saw him going in and out of hotels with men.

Moreover, in the past few days, for some unknown reason, several raw material suppliers have terminated their cooperation with the company, and other suppliers are also unwilling to cooperate with the Chen family. Suddenly, the Chen family's reputation seems to have lost its power.

These events made the already precarious Chen Group even more shaky.

Chen Rong increasingly felt that the Chen family had fallen into some kind of trap, and she became more and more fearful. Her previous confidence vanished, and she began to ask people to investigate, hoping to find out where the problem lay.

All the attempts ended in vain. There were only a few families in the capital that the Chen family could not find out anything about. Thinking about how she had hired someone to assassinate Xie Wei, and now that the assassin had not responded, Chen Rong seemed to have guessed something. She quickly went to the dark web to contact Li Ning.
