Meng Sangsang had just sat down and opened her mouth to refute, but then thought better of it and decided not to waste her breath.

After Qin Xuan sat down, the others kept toasting him.

"Everyone, please don't be shy, let's drink together."

"Ah Ye, your stomach isn't good, so I'll drink this cup for you first."

Song Wan stopped the glass of wine offered to Quan Ye, tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp, displaying more magnanimity than any of the men present.

Meng Sangsang sighed inwardly. This woman's alcohol tolerance was truly impressive; she was very popular at the dinner table.

Looking at Quan Ye's attitude towards her, it was neither enthusiastic nor indifferent, just normal.

It seems that Master Quan is quite satisfied with her.

Could Ah Li's departure be related to Song Wan?

As Meng Sangsang pondered this, a glass of wine was handed to her.

Looking up, she saw Song Wan's smiling face. "Miss Meng, although we know each other, we haven't had a chance to get to know each other better. Shall we have a drink together?"

"Thank you, I don't drink."

She mainly didn't want to drink with Song Wan, and she doesn't drink with just anyone.

Song Wan is very high-profile in the circle, giving people the feeling of being arrogant and looking down on others. Meng Sangsang doesn't have a very good impression of her.

Song Wan smiled warmly as always, "Miss Meng, does this mean you don't want to make friends? The circle in Haicheng is so small, we'll all have opportunities to get to know each other in the future. I genuinely want to be your friend."

"I'm sorry, I'm on my period, so it's really inconvenient for me to drink."

Meng Sangsang pretended to gently pat her belly.

Upon hearing this, Song Wan didn't know what to say.

"I'll drink this with you. You women are always so fussy." Qin Xuan stood up, clinked glasses with Song Wan, and downed his drink in one gulp.

This eased Song Wan's embarrassment, and she turned around and sat back down.

Qin Xuan nudged Meng Sangsang's shoulder. "What are you doing here if you're not going to drink?"

"I won't drink it. If you want to drink it, you drink it yourself!"

Meng Sangsang went to the restroom halfway through, and when she came out, she saw Quan Ye standing in front of her making a phone call.

She deliberately slowed her pace and quietly approached him.

Quan Ye hung up the phone, turned around, and asked, "Where is Su Li?"

Meng Sangsang suddenly stopped and stood against the wall, realizing that he had already discovered her.

“I really don’t know where Ah Li is, but I have a guess as to why she left.”

"What?"

Quan Ye raised an eyebrow, wondering what she would say.

Meng Sangsang looked around and cautiously stepped forward to him, saying, "Master Quan, there must be another reason why A-Li suddenly left. You and Miss Song are about to get married. Miss Song may not like it when there are other women around you. Besides, A-Li is always coming and going with you, which inevitably arouses jealousy."

"You mean, Song Wan drove Su Li away?"

"I didn't say that. I was just guessing, just guessing."

Quan Ye didn't say anything more and walked away with a cold face.

Meng Sangsang muttered to herself, "Did he believe it or not?"

After the drinking party ended, everyone dispersed and went home.

Song Wan had drunk a bit too much and was unsteady on her feet, so her assistant had to help her out.

Outside the gate, Quan Ye stood by the car, waiting.

She gently rubbed her drunken head, looked up and saw him, then staggered forward in her high heels, "Mr. Quan, you were waiting for me."

She fell into his arms, and he reached out to steady her. "You've had too much to drink."

"Not much, just a little bit."

She leaned on his shoulder, her face flushed, her red lips luscious, looking utterly alluring.

Quan Ye gently pushed her to the assistant beside him and said, "Take Miss Song home."
