You'd better look back, Mr. Shen is about to break.

After Yu Nanqing returned from her business trip, she was promoted to director of the creative department.

The promotion banquet was proposed by the company's vice president, and Yu Nanqing had no choice but to accept it.

The promotion banquet was held at a nearby hotel; it was basically just eating, drinking, and talking about how we felt.

As the protagonist, Yu Nanqing couldn't avoid being forced to drink several glasses of alcohol, even though she had stated beforehand that she couldn't drink.

With an extremely low alcohol tolerance, her face flushed after the first glass, she started rambling incoherently after the second, and by the third glass she looked listless and became mentally unstable.

She is beautiful, with fair and radiant skin and delicate, well-defined features. Because of her pleasant personality, she is considered quite popular at the company.

The company's vice president treated her specially, and from the first moment he saw her, he would intentionally or unintentionally inquire about her and occasionally find opportunities to spend time alone with her.

However, Yu Nanqing always pretended to be confused, thinking that if he could fool her, he would, and if he couldn't, he would simply tear off the mask.

Fortunately, he hasn't done anything excessive to her yet, nor has he made any unreasonable demands on her.

Unable to bear it any longer, she slumped onto the table and fainted for a while, taking the opportunity to send a message and her location to Shen Mochen.

She had messaged Shen Mochen before coming here today to tell him about the gathering.

Shen Mochen was worried and said he would come to pick her up.

She did not refuse and made every effort to ensure that she would not drink alcohol.

But now, she has broken her promise.

She was indeed not a good woman, not a good wife.

She had drunk too much alcohol, and her head was spinning, her thoughts a jumbled mess.

As she thought about it, she began to blame herself, and her eyes reddened slightly. When she saw Shen Mochen's reply, she sniffed and swallowed back all the emotions in her heart.

"Xiao Yu, are you alright?" The vice president sat next to her, chatting with others while observing her condition. Seeing her face flushed as she slumped over the table, his eyes filled with worry.

He put down his wine glass and turned to ask.

Hearing the voice, Yu Nanqing forced herself to look up, glanced at him sideways, and squeezed out a smile, "It's nothing."

"If you feel unwell, go to the hospital. Don't try to tough it out," the vice president said, reaching out to feel her forehead temperature.

Yu Nanqing's eyebrows twitched slightly, and upon seeing his movement, her face paled instantly. She subconsciously turned to the side to avoid his hand.

By the time he came to his senses and realized what he was about to do, he had already withdrawn his hand, his face somewhat stiff.

Yu Nanqing was a little at a loss. She glanced to the side and saw the people around her turning their heads away.

Her heart skipped a beat; even someone as obtuse as her could sense it.

The vice president's attitude towards her was unusual, and the amount of care he gave her seemed abnormally excessive.

This kind of thing needs to be made clear, otherwise it will be impossible to explain it later.

She rubbed her fingers together, feeling embarrassed and disheartened.

After all, this was her first day on the job, and she had offended the vice president. She didn't know if HR would issue a notice tomorrow saying they would rescind her promotion.

But if we don't say anything and keep things unclear and ambiguous, that's even more wrong.

After hesitating for a moment, she steeled herself and turned to look at the vice president, instead of panicking and making excuses as she had done before when faced with such a situation.

"Young Vice President, I'm really fine, just a little drunk. I've already called my boyfriend to pick me up." As she spoke, she deliberately showed off the red string on her wrist. "I'm sorry, Young Vice President, I might spoil your fun tonight."

She forced herself to stay awake, patted her face after speaking, picked up her bag from the chair, hurriedly got up, said something to the others, and then walked unsteadily outside.

A cold wind was blowing outside, and the stark temperature difference made her shiver and feel dizzy. After walking only a few steps, she squatted down by the wall to catch her breath.

"Xiao Yu".

Before she could even catch her breath, the vice president's voice rang out above her head.

Yu Nanqing stiffened slightly, her expression turning somewhat unpleasant. She was about to get up when she was stopped.

The vice president held a bottle of mineral water, opened it, and handed it to her, saying, "A sip will make you feel better."

Yu Nanqing frowned slightly, wanting to refuse.

Seeing her hesitate, the vice president's eyes flickered slightly, he sighed softly, and directly handed her the water.

After she drank it, his expression softened slightly. "I'm sorry, I didn't know you couldn't drink. Otherwise, I wouldn't have started by suggesting you drink."

Hearing his apology only intensified Yu Nanqing's unease. If she weren't so miserable right now, she would have immediately run away like a firecracker and escaped this hellish place.

"No need to apologize, Vice President. This was originally my business, and it has nothing to do with you, Vice President." Yu Nanqing forced a smile, trying her best to distance herself from the two.

Seeing that she was trying her best to distance herself from their relationship, the junior vice president just smiled self-deprecatingly, "How can we not be related? I was the one who proposed to hold this promotion banquet, and I am the main person in charge. I have to be responsible for everyone who attends."

“If something happens to Xiao Yu, I can’t take the responsibility.”

He spoke calmly, his expression serene, his eyes devoid of any complex emotions towards her.

"But Xiao Yu reacted so strongly, so resistant to me, as if she had a problem with me." He chuckled softly, trying to ease the suddenly distant and awkward atmosphere between the two.

"How could that be?" Yu Nanqing replied hastily, glancing at him before slowly standing up, supporting herself against the wall. "The junior vice president is very outstanding and has a great personality. No one would have any complaints about him."

"Is that so? It seems I have a pretty high impression score in Xiao Yu's mind." Hearing this, the junior vice president finally showed a genuine smile.

Yu Nanqing nodded like a chick pecking at rice. Seeing that he really wouldn't do anything to her, her wariness slowly dissipated, and she smiled at him again.

This warm and harmonious scene was witnessed by Shen Mochen, who had just arrived. His eyes darkened slightly, filled with unreadable emotions.

It's hard to explain, but if I had to put it simply, it felt like ants were biting my heart, a dense, piercing pain.

He lightly twirled his fingertips on his phone, and some veins on the back of his hand were faintly visible.

Only after sending the message did he look up again.

The two seemed reluctant to part, chatting away and their eyes seemed to be lingering on each other. He wasn't sure, but jealousy was at play, so he naturally assumed that was the case.

Only when Yu Nanqing lowered his eyes to look at his phone did his tense expression ease slightly.

Seeing that she immediately looked up and started searching for him after seeing the message, he raised his head, the frost on his face gradually dissipating. When her gaze fell on him, he raised an eyebrow and smiled lightly, silently calling out, "My dear."

Yu Nanqing's heart was burning with excitement. After saying goodbye to the junior vice president, she hurriedly walked towards Shen Mochen. When she got close, she straddled his lap without saying a word, leaning lazily against his chest as if she had no bones. "Shen Mochen, you're finally here."
