When Xi Xinyi said this, quite a few girls could not help but look envious.

“Xinyi, you’re so lucky! CEO Han is so sweet to you!”

“Exactly! Not only is she outstandingly beautiful and is the Mayor’s daughter, but she’s also a celebrity loved by so many… Xinyi, we really admire you!”

“Thank you, guys. You’ll find your own happiness too.”

As she listened to the crowd’s envious admirations, Xi Xinyi’s sweet and charming face revealed a faint smile too. Her eyes were filled with sincerity and well wishes while she vaguely stole a glance at Xi Xiaye.

Such a heartfelt wish instantly made everyone beam and all of them thanked her.

“Pretentious!” Su Nan scoffed as she subconsciously shot Ruan Heng a look beside her. He indicated his innocence and shrugged.

Su Nan suddenly got up and walked over to grab the microphone on the table. She really did not want to hear this woman speak anymore. Increasing the music volume, she started to wail like q banshee and howl like a wolf into the microphone.

One could tell that Su Nan was clearly targetting Xi Xinyi. They could not help but frown as they looked at Su Nan. In fact, they also noticed that w.a.n.g Ziluo looked a little down after being rejected by Xi Xiaye.

While Xi Xinyi kept her bitter smile pasted on her face, she seemed quite pitiful. Sun Mei could not bear to watch, so she walked over to pat Xi Xinyi on the shoulder to console her. Then, she turned the music volume down a little and said something to Su Nan who then tossed the microphone onto the table with a darkened expression. She picked up the bottle on the table and downed it furiously.

Ruan Heng wanted to stop her, yet her stern look pushed him away.

Xi Xiaye could only helplessly try to stop whatever Su Nan was doing. She simply knew she was bad-tempered.

“That’s enough, Nan Nan. Don’t be angry with all these irrelevant people. I’m fine.”

“I just can’t stand her face! I really want to go up and rip it off. Her smile is so fake. Are they all blind? Look at the b.i.t.c.hy way she’s flaunting her happiness. Yifeng this, Yifeng that. She’s clearly trying to provoke you, you silly girl. Can’t you see? She’s egging you on!”

The entire room’s atmosphere turned a little weird. Xi Xiaye chuckled softly and did not say anything, yet a light s.h.i.+fted in her eyes.

Now that she was not rus.h.i.+ng to leave, she watched Xi Xinyi with interest who was playing the victim. She casually held up her drink and drank it sip by sip…

Compared to the weird ambiance on Xi Xiaye’s end, Mu Yuchen’s side was extremely chilled out.

Inside Zhou Zimo’s private villa, the buddies were playing cards at the table: four men and one woman. Apart from the three buddies and Zhou Zimo’s friends, Su Chen had also brought over a female companion.

“Ah Chen, why didn’t you bring your wife over? Going out this late at night… Wouldn’t you get the blame?” Su Chen looked at his cards, and then at the calm Mu Yuchen. He could not help but tease him.

“She has her own plans. It’s already 10 p.m. I’m done after this round,” said Mu Yuchen plainly, not even looking at him, then he put his cards down.

“I’ll follow !”

As the next player, Zhou Zimo played his hand. He smiled and said, “Are you worried that the sis-in-law will check up on you? We’ve always played till 11 p.m., so what are you rus.h.i.+ng for? Look at the way you’re behaving. It seems like someone’s used to pampering.”

“You can’t pamper women too much, Ah Chen. You have to be careful. Otherwise, you’re the one who’ll suffer in the future. She’ll control you no matter where you go. Being checked up on in the middle of the night is common too, just like the queen in my house. It can definitely drive you crazy!” Su Chen seemed to remind him based on his personal experience.

“Master Mu, I think he makes sense too. You can’t spoil women. You should ask the female friend beside Master Mu.”

When she heard, the companion beside Su Chen grinned. “This depends on you men. Don’t make us women sound so horrible. We’re rational people too, so whether or not we can hold you back, that’ll depend on the men’s capabilities!”

…

“If she could check up on me, I’d be pretty glad.” Mu Yuchen grinned weirdly, then he put the final cards he had down. “All of your luck tonight seems to be pretty bad. I’m done. Calculate what you guys owe me and bank it into my account. Also, don’t forget the important stuff.”

He had already gotten up to put on his windbreaker as he finished. Then, he grabbed the car keys at the corner of the table.

Su Chen looked on in shock at Mu Yuchen’s figure making his way to the door. He could not help but call out, “Hey, are you going home just like that? I was just going to say let’s get a few drinks!”

“Tonight, I drove by myself. I won’t drink more, but if you want to drink, you can come to Maple Residence and drink as much as you want another day. Tomorrow, I have to make a trip to City B for work, so I’ll leave first. Please send my greetings to the elders of your families.”

Then, his cool figure vanished out of the door.

When Han Yifeng followed the waiter to the private room, he found the room very lively. What shocked him even more was that Xi Xiaye was there too!

“Yifeng, you’re here!”

Han Yifeng had just walked into the room when Xi Xinyi smiled and walked up to greet him. She gently clung onto Han Yifeng’s arm. They were an ideal couple that was match-made in heaven, killing all onlookers with envy.

When she heard the crowd’s gasps of admiration, Xi Xinyi’s bright face was overflowing with joy. Her eyes turned to look at him. However, Xi Xiaye in the corner had glanced away as Xi Xinyi said a little sorrowfully to Han Yifeng, “Yifeng, Sister came too… but she seems to be…”

Han Yifeng pat the back of her hand that clung onto his arm to console her. He took a drink and walked towards Xi Xiaye.

“Happy New Year, Xiaye!” Han Yifeng’s deep voice greeted, his still eyes mixed with emotions as he raised his gla.s.s towards her.

Xi Xiaye looked up indifferently at the wall of people before her. Her beautiful face flashed with a faint trace of something, then she slowly got up, holding a gla.s.s while she smiled. “Happy New Year, CEO Han! Seeing your fiancè croon away so happily with CEO w.a.n.g, I thought you wouldn’t come. If she switches her job to be in public relations, I’m sure she’ll be great at what she does.”

Then, with her lips curved, she raised her gla.s.s towards Han Yifeng and downed her drink in a go.

When he heard this, Han Yifeng’s face turned gloomy. His eyes flashed and he subconsciously turned to look at Xi Xinyi who was at a loss as she bit her plump lower lip. She smiled bitterly and did not argue, but merely looked a little disappointedly and innocently at Xi Xiaye.

Han Yifeng then tore his gaze away and observed Xi Xiaye before him. He lifted his head and downed the drink in his gla.s.s as well.

At that moment, the crowd had rushed up and wanted to drink with Han Yifeng too. He politely returned the toasts while Xi Xinyi smiled with the elegant composure of a hostess and said, “Thank you, everyone. Yifeng has to drive. Please don’t make him drink too much. Tonight, everyone can have fun to your hearts’ content. Yifeng will take care of all of the expenses!”

The crowd instantly cheered, yet at that moment, the waiter, who walked in with Han Yifeng and had been silent all the while, suddenly spoke up, “All of the expenses have already been paid for. CEO Han doesn’t need to pay!”
