Mingyao was persuaded by Wang Nana to drink quite a bit of alcohol, and two blushes appeared on her fair face, making her eyes look hazy.

But she remained clear-headed.

In her past life, she participated in many of Su Xueya's drinking parties, and in order to avoid being exposed, she developed a high alcohol tolerance.

However, her skin naturally tends to tan easily when she drinks, making her look like she's very drunk.

Wang Nana continued to stir things up: "Young Madam Pei, you're already feeling down after just a few drinks? Oh right, didn't you say you came tonight to thank Rongrong? I don't see you've even toasted Rongrong yet. That's not much sincerity."

Mingyao gripped the wine glass tightly, looked at Jiang Rongrong beside her, her voice soft and weak from the alcohol, giving her an easy-to-bully look, and said, "Rongrong, I'll toast you."

Jiang Rongrong frowned as she looked at Ming Yao's swaying body: "I don't need your respect."

That sentence sounds very disrespectful.

The lively private room immediately fell silent. Mingyao awkwardly held the wine glass in her hand, unsure whether to put it down or not.

Wang Nana immediately became gloating and gave Ming Yao a provocative look.

Mingyao bit her lip, and when she looked at Jiang Rongrong's eyes, she saw a hint of grievance. Combined with her already pitiful appearance, Jiang Rongrong felt as if she had committed a terrible crime.

She added awkwardly, "That's not what I meant. You've already drunk enough. I can feel your sincerity. You don't need to toast me anymore."

She almost bit her tongue after she finished speaking.

What am I doing? I'm actually speaking up for Su Xueya!

Wang Nana was also dumbfounded.

Rongrong has always been more on her side!

"Thank you, Rongrong." Mingyao's eyes lit up without any attempt to hide her gratitude as she looked at Jiang Rongrong, her eyes sparkling like stars.

Jiang Rongrong couldn't help but turn her head away. What on earth was Su Xueya doing...?

He actually looked at her like that!

Does she think that this will change her opinion of her?

Mingyao smiled even more sweetly, it seemed that Jiang Rongrong's favorability was easier to win over than she had thought.

Because the door to the private room was slightly ajar, when Pei Siyu arrived, his assistant hadn't opened the door yet. Through the narrow crack in the door, he saw the woman holding a small wine glass, surrounded by a crowd, smiling happily, with everyone around her fawning over her.

His gaze suddenly turned cold, and everyone in the private room inexplicably felt the temperature drop.

They all looked toward the source of the air conditioning and saw a handsome, god-like man standing tall at the door of the private room.

Behind him were several people who had said they were going to the restroom but hadn't returned yet.

Because Pei Siyu rarely appears in public, even financial magazines don't have the opportunity to interview him, so everyone in the industry knows him by name, but few have actually seen his face.

Immediately, some people's eyes lit up: "Damn, where did you find such a handsome guy?"

Wang Nana, with her sharpest eyes, spotted the limited-edition watch on the man's wrist, worth nearly ten million yuan. She gave him a flirtatious wink and said, "Handsome, since you're here, want to have a drink together?"

Su Xueya is so arrogant just because she's hooked up with the Pei family. She's not bad looking either, she doesn't believe she can't snag a rich husband!

The people behind Pei Siyu were so frightened that they shrank back like quails, not daring to speak, and kept giving them meaningful glances to shut them up!

Except for Jiang Rongrong, who had been sitting in the booth indifferently, she was stunned for a moment and called out, "President Pei?"

The crowd, who were eagerly trying to pull him to a seat, froze in place, and even Wang Nana, whose eyes were practically popping out of her head, was terrified.

What's Pei Siyu doing here?!

They all turned to look at Mingyao.

Ye Jinfeng was squeezed out of the door. He finally managed to squeeze in, wanting to see what his brother's new wife looked like. He saw a woman dressed neatly and cleanly, with delicate and petite features, who gave off the impression of a well-behaved little white rabbit from head to toe.

His eyes widened instantly, becoming as big as copper bells.

Jiang Rongrong glanced at Mingyao with some concern, and couldn't help but feel the urge to explain for Mingyao. Before she could speak, a woman's soft and sweet voice rang out in the quiet private room: "Master Pei, you're here?"

Mingyao was also surprised that Pei Siyu would come to Yongzhou. After all, in her previous life, he hadn't appeared, and instead, he hadn't given her a kind look for a while.

But his appearance now saves her the trouble of going back to find him.

Mingyao reacted quickly, holding a wine glass, her eyes misty as if she were really drunk, and staggered toward Pei Siyu.

Just as she was about to touch the man, she stumbled, spilling the wine from her glass. Mingyao's eyes widened in panic as she frantically tried to catch the spilled wine, causing most of it to get on her. Because it was too hot in the private room, she had already taken off her coat, leaving only her white shirt underneath. With the wine, the outline of her underwear was faintly visible. A little of the remaining wine splashed onto the man's pants.

“Pei…Master Pei…” Mingyao reached out to wipe the water stains off the man’s pants. Her soft fingertips rubbed against the man’s leg through the thin fabric of the pants that was wet.

Ye Jinfeng, who was closest, held his breath, startled by Ming Yao's boldness, and prepared to watch as Pei Siyu pushed her away.

Everyone was watching intently. If Mingyao was pushed away, the news that Su Xueya was unpopular the next day would spread throughout the entire circle.

That's enough.

With a deep, angry shout, Mingyao's small hand was suddenly gripped by the man's broad, powerful hand. She gasped in pain and was forced to straighten up, looking up at Pei Siyu.

"I'm sorry..." Fueled by alcohol, she blinked her eyes pitifully, seemingly unaware that her actions were akin to walking a tightrope on the edge of a cliff, just a hair's breadth away from hell.

Pei Siyu stared intently at the woman before him, and for a moment even he couldn't tell whether she was acting or genuine.

Jiang Rongrong finally couldn't hold back and said truthfully, "President Pei, I'm really sorry. I hosted this banquet today because she hasn't come out with us in a long time, so everyone made things a bit difficult for her today and made her drink a lot. If you're going to blame someone, blame me."

She spoke frankly and openly.

After all, Jiang Rongrong was the daughter of the Jiang family, which was comparable to the Pei family. Of course, Pei Siyu could not blame Jiang Rongrong. However, after hearing her words, he looked down at Mingyao, who looked like a scared little wife who had done something wrong, and felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

Are you that afraid of him?

I was so happy to see him just now...

Under everyone's incredulous gaze, Pei Siyu raised his hand and unbuttoned his suit jacket, one button at a time, before finally draping it over Mingyao's shoulders.

The woman's slender body was instantly enveloped by the oversized suit, and she stared wide-eyed in fear, like a startled rabbit.

Ye Jinfeng gasped for breath.

Weren't they here to catch their partner cheating? What kind of crazy thing is this?
