Chapter 712: It Would Be Awkward If You Overthink It-

He knew that she smoked.

How could he not know that his cigarettes were inexplicably decreasing?

Cao Zhuzhu took one out and lit it. It was the same brand as the one he often smoked. It had a strong tobacco smell, and she was already familiar with it.

She smoked his cigarette, and all the girls saw it, including Fang Ning.

She took a puff and flicked the ashes away. Cao Zhuzhu spun the bottle and turned it to a small celebrity.

The person was also a good drinker.

She drank the wine that Pei Song had mixed, but she drank faster than Cao Zhuzhu. Then, she spun the bottle very quickly, as if she couldn’t wait to compete with Cao Zhuzhu. Later, she got what she wanted and turned the bottle back to Cao Zhuzhu. There was a “wu-” sound around the table. Cao

Zhuzhu had yet to recover from the wine she had drunk for a while. Without hesitation, she drank another whole glass, the mouth of the glass facing down, not leaving a single drop.

She was a very strong drinker and did not need anyone to persuade her, but her alcohol tolerance was actually just so-so.

The company had once thought that with her personality, she would be quite suitable to accompany the investors to drink. However, after a few experiments, they realized that she did not even wait for the potential investors to drink. She was not accompanying them to drink. She just wanted to drink to her heart’s content.

Who did she learn it from?

Cao Zhuzhu placed the empty cup on the table with a loud thud. Pei Song looked over and his gaze lingered on her fingers for a few seconds.

The two of them looked at each other for a short while at a distance of less than locm. He looked away. Cao Zhuzhu spun the bottle…

It pointed to a guy on her team.

The guy spun it to Fang Ning.

Fang Ning also downed the entire glass generously and said to Pei Song, “the drinks you made taste really good. It’s very suitable for girls.”

Pei Song curled his lips without any emotion.

Fang Ning spun it to Cao Zhuzhu.

Strange.

Cao Zhuzhu felt that she and Su Ji had two completely different physiques. If Su Ji was a koi, then she was a jinx.

There was another deep sigh. Cao Zhuzhu, who was holding her forehead, looked at Fang Ning. Fang Ning shook the cocktail in his hand. “Do you want to change?

As soon as she finished speaking, Cao Zhuzhu poured a glass full of vodka. The strong liquor entered her mouth, and just as it passed through her esophagus, she spun it to Zhong.

Zhong was successful this time and spun it to Pei Song.

Pei Song raised his head and drank.

So, it was finally his turn to spin.

He slowly sat up. Everyone was in a state of watching a good show. The boys blew their whistles, and the girls covered their mouths and discussed. He extinguished his cigarette butt in the ashtray, his fingers touching the bottle, and at the same time, he glanced at Zhong, who had pulled Cao Zhuzhu into the game.

Then, he let go and the bottle spun.

After five or six quick turns, the mouth of the bottle was accurately aimed at

Zhong…and it slowly stopped.

“Tsk tsk…” The surrounding people burst into laughter.

“Second Master, I am sorry.” There was a deeper meaning in Zhong’s words. At first, he really did not know that Cao Zhuzhu…was his woman…

As Pei Song was punishing him, he poured himself a cup and drank it outside the game. Cao Zhuzhu sneered.

In the next half an hour, the bottle was spun several times. As long as Pei Song spun it, it would definitely be Zhong who drank it. Zhong was not one to renege on his debt. He would drink it if he was asked to. He admitted defeat.

However, Cao Zhuzhu was not much better. She drank the most, followed by Zhong and Pei Song.

Pei Song was third not because he was punished, but because he always drank extra.

It didn’t seem like a game, but more like drinking in the name of a game.

If the people from Cao Zhuzhu’s company were here today, they would know where she learned to drink from.

In the second half of the match, Cao Zhuzhu was already affected.

This was a proper bar, unlike the usual drinking with her girls.

Pei Song left halfway to answer the call. It was from Pei Huai.

Before he left, he told everyone to continue and not wait for him. However, once he left, the game automatically paused.

Cao Zhuzhu and Fang Ning finally had nothing to stop them. Fang Ning had also drunk quite a bit. She rubbed her face and looked at Cao Zhuzhu. “Come with me to the bathroom?”

At the entrance of the bathroom, Cao Zhuzhu crossed her arms and leaned against the wall behind her. In her line of sight, Fang Ning had finished washing her hands unhurriedly, took a tissue, and wiped the water stains off her fingers one by one. Her exquisite phototherapy manicure was dazzling under the light.

Cao Zhuzhu could imagine what they were saying after she left with Fang Ning.

“You’re quite popular recently. I heard that you’re friends with Su Ji? Su Ji…is Second Master Pei’s sister-in-law, right?” She looked up and smiled at Cao Zhuzhu in the mirror.

The meaning in her smile was as deep as the meaning in her words.

Cao Zhuzhu was drunk and very impatient. She lit a cigarette that she had just stolen from Pei Song. “Sorry, I’m not that close to you.”

“Hey, are all the newbies so brash these days?” Fang Ning did not back down. She laughed mockingly. “Then let’s talk about Second Master Pei, my former leader’s…ex-husband, are you interested in him?”

Cao Zhuzhu tilted her head slightly. She really couldn’t understand where her self-righteous attitude as Pei Song’s spokesperson came from.

“Former leader’s ex-husband…” Cao Zhuzhu curled her lips. “This relationship is a little distant…

On one hand, she despised herself for being possessive of something that didn’t belong to her, but on the other hand, she couldn’t help herself.

She was in a very conflicted state.

Fang Ning smiled, but the awkwardness was not obvious.

Actually, she was brought here by her best friend. Zhong did not invite her.

She accidentally heard that Second Master Pei would be attending, so she asked her best friend to bring her along.

All these years in the entertainment industry, she had never interacted with Second Master Pei.

Recently, Second Master Pei had been on the news about Sonya.

She looked at the news articles and the photos of the man in the news. The feelings that had been dormant in her heart for a long time were like bamboo shoots after a rain, and they were revived vigorously.

She took the initiative to greet Pei Song, and he still remembered her. When she passed by him, he would subconsciously put his hand that was holding the cigarette behind his back. When he listened to her speak, he looked very focused. Every detail reminded her of a few years ago when Pei Song was still with Sonya. He would always inadvertently take care of her as a member of the team…

Fang Ning felt that Pei Song treated her differently from others.

“Ms. Fang, are you overthinking it?”

At this moment, Cao Zhuzhu’s unhurried words shattered all her fantasies.

“That’s just how he is. When he’s not talking, he gives off an inexplicable sense of concentration. When he looks at you, his eyes are naturally filled with affection. He’s used to treating others well and taking care of girls. Besides, you used to be Sonya’s team member. Taking care of you is giving her face…”

Cao Zhuzhu looked at Fang Ning’s lips that were gradually darkening and smiled. “So, don’t put yourself in an awkward position..”
