After a few exchanges, the man left to chat with others.
As soon as the man left, several more people approached Yu Ting, each holding a glass of wine.
They seemed to be aware of Yu Ting’s poor drinking capacity, so there was an air of coaxing her to drink more.
Yu Ting really wasn’t a big drinker. After a few toasts, her glass was still more than half full, which was rather frustrating to see.
"President Yu, why do you drink so little? It’s quite disturbing to see. Come on, let’s continue drinking." A slightly plump man stood across from Yu Ting, his honest face brimming with a cheery expression. He topped off his empty glass and prepared to toast to Yu Ting once again.
Yu Ting had already downed several rounds with him, and with others before him. She was really unable to drink any more. The buzz she was familiar with was creeping up again. She waved her hand whilst chuckling lightly, "I can’t drink anymore, I can’t handle much."
Tsk.
Hearing what Yu Ting said, the man grimaced in disappointment. A faint regret and disapproval was evident on his square, dark face.
Alas, she can’t drink anymore after just a few sips.
"President Lin, please, if you want to drink, allow me to do the honors on behalf of our president. I am from VG."
A pleasant male voice broke the deadlock between the two. Wei Qinghe, holding a glass of wine, took the initiative to step in front of Yu Ting and stood facing President Lin.
With a faint smile on his face, he radiated an aura of sophisticated warmth.
He was truly born into this circle, though he had fallen on hard times.
Wei Qinghe thought that Yu Ting couldn’t keep this up. The party was far from over, and they didn’t know how many more like President Lin would come and toast.
They would inevitably need someone to block these toasts.
"That works, as long as we enjoy." President Lin quickly accepted Wei Qinghe, who suddenly appeared, with a smile.
Well, don’t force this young lady to drink anymore, as long as there’s someone else.
Yu Ting watched the boy in front of her, her eyebrows subtly raised, she took a half-step back, creating space for the two men and silently approving his action.
Having someone to ward off drinks was indeed good.
As time passed, Yu Ting was worn out from standing. The fatigue and mild drunkenness hit her, her mind getting more and more hazy. Adding her full day’s work into account, she was indeed exhausted.
She found a seat and rested, massaging her temples, between her eyebrows, and her nose occasionally, not sure how long she could hold on.
Wei Qinghe, standing in front of her, had already fended off five or six drinks.
If it were Yu Ting herself, falling asleep would be a minor issue compared to getting drunk at the ball.
After dealing with everyone, Wei Qinghe let out a sigh of relief, set his empty glass on a nearby table, and turned around to see Yu Ting. She was lazily sitting in a corner, propping her head with one hand while her legs seemed to be crossed under her long skirt, revealing her slim figure.
Beautiful people are always pleasing to the eye. Yu Ting, sitting quietly under the soft indoor light, looked golden and even her signature collarbone was highlighted.
She was about to fall asleep.
Wei Qinghe was stunned watching her. It took him a few minutes to snap out of it, not hearing the gasps from the people nearby. He took off his clean suit, shook it to even out its folds, and planned to hand it over to Yu Ting to cover herself with.
In case she catches a cold. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
Just as he reached out, a hand from behind stopped him.
The two hands lightly collided and a crisp sound echoed.
Pat.
"Sorry for the trouble, I’m here now."
