"Don't get the wrong idea. Mr. Qin is Si Tian's senior, and our Si Tian is already taken." Ji Xiaoyun wasn't trying to help Ni Si Tian out of the awkward situation; she just didn't want all the men to be paying attention to her.

Regardless of Ji Xiaoyun's reasons for saying that, it clarified her relationship with Qin Mubei, so Ni Sitian gave her a grateful look.

"So Sitian has a boyfriend? Xiao Liu, you're too late."

Someone made a joke, and everyone burst into laughter, but Qin Mubei's eyes darkened slightly.

The meal proceeded in a lively and cheerful atmosphere, filled with toasts and laughter.

Ni Sitian was intentionally or unintentionally given alcohol, and felt her cheeks burning and her chest tight. She made an excuse to go to the restroom and got out of the private room to get some fresh air.

After going outside, I stood by the window for a while and felt the wind. Perhaps it was because of the alcohol, but I felt a little dizzy.

She leaned against the wall for a while, then let out a long sigh.

Suddenly, she felt a chill on her cheek. She opened her eyes and saw Qin Mubei shove a bottle of yogurt onto her face.

"If you can't drink, don't try to be a hero. Have a bottle of yogurt to sober up," Qin Mubei said with a bright smile and gentle voice.

Perhaps she was very drunk, because in her daze she seemed to see Qin Mubei, the man she had admired in high school.

"Are you really that upset over that man? Is it really worth getting yourself all drunk?" Qin Mubei opened the yogurt lid for her and handed her the bottle.

Ni Sitian hesitated for a moment and did not accept it. She did not want to have any further entanglement with Qin Mubei, nor did she want to accept his kindness.

Unexpectedly, he had already figured out that she had drunk so much not because someone had forced her to, but because she was looking for an excuse to drink.

"Yogurt is good for your stomach. You drank so much alcohol just now, your stomach will feel uncomfortable later." Qin Mubei grabbed her hand and forced the yogurt into Ni Sitian's hand.

Ni Sitian held the yogurt bottle without moving, her eyes lowered, and said weakly, "How I am doing, whether it's good or bad, is none of your business anymore. I think we should draw clear lines, it's better for everyone."

"You can refuse me, but there's no way to stop me from wanting to be good to you." Qin Mubei's voice was soft and gentle as he looked at her with tender affection.

Ni Sitian felt she couldn't reason with him and didn't want to continue the conversation, so she walked past him.

Qin Mubei pulled her into his arms from behind and confessed, "Sisi, the only person I love is you. Ni Ziqi was just a mistake, and this mistake has punished me for three years. Why can't you give me another chance?"

As soon as Xu Tingchuan stepped out of the elevator, he saw Ni Sitian and Qin Mubei embracing each other. He stopped in his tracks, staring at them with dark and deep eyes.

Ni Sitian didn't notice him. She lowered her head and tugged at Qin Mubei's arm, trying to break free, but because of the alcohol, she had no strength and couldn't break free no matter what she did. In the end, she stopped struggling and said weakly, "If you keep doing this, it will only make me hate you more."

Qin Mubei wanted to say something more, but then he saw Xu Tingchuan walking towards them.

Ni Sitian felt his arm loosen slightly, and she quickly broke free from his embrace. However, her legs went weak, she staggered a few steps, and fell forward.

Just when she thought she was about to make intimate contact with the ground, a strong arm caught her and steadied her.

She was about to thank him when she looked up and saw Xu Tingchuan's stern face, and her voice trailed off.
