On the rewards for successfully defeating a boss

"You see me, why don't you say hello?" Shi Xixi put away the smile she was putting on just to please the occasion, and her face was left with only fatigue.

After enough socializing, people will want to go home, and that's her current state.

Thinking of her sweet and soft son waiting for her at home, a hint of kindness appeared on her face.

"Forget it. Chi Zheng's eyes are everywhere. It's not appropriate." Chi Mu watched Chi Yuxing from afar as he frequently hung around Chen Qian, and he actually envied him in his heart.

She shook her head and looked at her watch. "It's almost nine o'clock. If we're any later, we'll miss Yu Bai's bedtime. Aren't you leaving?"

"It's almost nine o'clock now? When did we get here?" Shi Xixi was stunned.

"We left at 7:30."

"That's it. I promised Yubai I'd be back soon." Shi Xixi's face grew tense. He quickly took out his phone to contact the driver. "I'm leaving first. You can clean up."

"Say goodnight to Yubai for me and Chi Yuxing."

"Got it." After saying that, she waved her phone and ran straight to the door.

The three people who were arguing on the other side almost watched Shi Xi leave.

As soon as she walked out the door, Chi Yuxing got excited and urged Chen Qian to go over and have a drink with Chi Mu.

"Let's not talk about other relationships. As his friend, you should at least offer him a toast when you meet him." Chi Yuxing lied in a coaxing manner.

"Ex-boyfriend is also a friend?" Zhong Yi glanced at him and uttered the longest sentence of the night.

Chen Qian's brain seemed to be hit by the word "ex-boyfriend", but he was unable to refute that he and Chi Mu had not broken up yet. He felt cold and suffocated in his heart, and could only pour wine into his mouth one mouthful at a time.

"What ex-boyfriend?" Chi Yuxing squinted at him, not annoyed that he contradicted her. Instead, he asked in a nonchalant tone, "Are we friends then?"

Zhong Yi ignored him, so he continued to seduce Chen Qian, giving the same reasons one after another.

Chen Qian listened to him for a long time and drank a few glasses of wine. He slowly began to notice something strange. He then secretly glanced at Chi Mu, who was being toasted, and finally couldn't help asking, "Why are you so insistent on me getting in touch with him? Do you have any problem with Miss Shi?"

Otherwise, why would she always ask her "ex-boyfriend" to go up and have a drink with a married man?

It would have been fine if he didn't ask, but when he did, Chi Yuxing was furious.

"It's more than just an opinion. That woman is simply abnormal! You know her—Wu Grasshopper? What a coincidence."

"No, I'm here to talk to these two gentlemen you're harassing." A familiar voice rang out from behind Chen Qian, carrying a distinct sense of distance. "Besides, we're no longer on the same page."

Hearing this voice, Chen Qian almost immediately thought of who the sponsor, Mr. Wu, was. He put down the empty glass and replaced it with one full of wine.

He should have known it earlier. Who else could be surnamed Wu?

"Brother Zhefan." Chen Qian forced a faint smile out of his loss and faced this wealthy father.

"Mr. Wu."

"Xiao Qian, Mr. Zhong, you must have been waiting for a long time." Wu Zhefan walked past Chi Yuxing without even glancing at him, and started chatting with the two of them while holding up his wine glass.

……

Chen Qian drank too much. The effect was not obvious at first, but after Wu Zhefan left, the aftereffects began to kick in. The alcohol gradually drowned out his rationality, leaving him with only a tiny, narrow space for clarity.

When he came to his senses again, Chi Yuxing had taken advantage of Zhong Yi going to the toilet and half-encouraged and half-coaxed him to be brought to Chi Mu to toast.

Chi Mu was speechless when he saw Chen Qian looking a little dizzy and unable to hold the wine glass steadily. He didn't know how he ended up drinking like this.

After pulling the cup that was about to fall out from Chen Qian's hand, he glared at Chi Yuxing who was holding Chen Qian's shoulders behind him, "Where's the other person?"

Chi Yuxing pretended not to see him curse with his eyes. With the eyes that wanted to torture him to death, he leaned over and whispered in Chen Qian's ear: "I brought it to you, remember to thank me."

Then he loosened his hands, removed the support for Chen Qian's balance, and pushed from behind, and Chen Qian fell towards Chi Mu.

After Chi Mu hurriedly held the person steady, he squinted his eyelids and smiled at Chi Mu in an ambiguous and charming way, "I've diverted your little eyes from the gift for you, so don't worry! As for his friend, I'll make arrangements."

Chen Qian's mind was almost a mess at this time. He didn't know what exactly happened. He only knew that the cup he used to toast Chi Mu was suddenly snatched away.

The moment he fell down made him a little flustered, but his vision became blurry and his ears were covered with a layer of cloth, so he couldn't tell who was holding him up.

"Zhongyi?" He spoke unclearly with a thick tongue.

Amidst the din of noise came an angry response: "Baby, you called the wrong person."
