Chapter 1388: Chapter 1389: It Seems Like There’s Not Enough Sincerity

Rong Yan just happened to walk by his side, meeting that expressionless handsome face, her heart trembled, and she greeted, "Mr. Li, hello Mr. Li."

Li Shengxiao didn’t show whether he recognized her or not, as if he didn’t know her at all, tilting his head back, he responded indifferently, "Mhm."

That "Mhm" landed sharply in her heart, sending a tingle to her scalp, unsure of what expression to put on.

The boss of Hongsheng started to rouse the crowd, "Come sit down! Mr. Li has given up his seat for you, aren’t you going to pour him a drink?"

Rong Yan hesitated, thinking standing around wasn’t right either, she simply sat down.

The handsome man and beautiful woman sitting together was particularly pleasing to the eye, it was like a beautiful painting, delighting the onlookers.

The other girls at the booth nearly shot daggers with their eyes, looking at her like she was a foreign enemy, pity that no one cared about what they thought.

Rong Yan, stared at by over a dozen pairs of eyes, and also feeling guilty herself, took the champagne from the table, poured a bit into someone’s glass, handed it over, then poured herself a glass, raised it and said, "Mr. Li, I toast to you."

Li Shengxiao, his eyes deep and unfathomable, a tumultuous storm concealed beneath his calm exterior, curved his hand to grasp Rong Yan’s wrist, the smooth skin almost made him reluctant to let go, but seeing her exposed waist, his anger was easily provoked, "This doesn’t seem sincere enough for a toast."

The boss of Hongsheng immediately added from the side, "Exactly. Beauty, you’ve poured too little for Mr. Li, how could you pour just that? Hurry and fill it up for Mr. Li!"

Rong Yan looked at the one-third-filled champagne in his glass, then towards the heckling boss of Hongsheng, bit her lip, took the bottle, filled her own glass to the brim. Lifting it up again, as if afraid he would refuse, quickly said, "Mr. Li, I toast to you!"

She tilted her head back and downed it in one go, finishing the drink in a breath and turned the glass over to show everyone it was empty, then with lips stained by the champagne’s red hue softly said, "I drank first as a show of respect, Mr. Li, at your leisure~"

She briskly filled and downed another full glass for herself, making the boss of Hongsheng, even if he was keen on making a fuss about her pouring too little for Li Shengxiao, feel embarrassed to make it too apparent. After all, since the girl had been so straightforward, it would seem too petty of him to act sarcastic on the side.

Li Shengxiao did not expect her to fill and drink it all in one breath, his gaze deep and dark, he said nothing further, picked up the champagne glass in front of him, and as a courtesy, drank the wine inside.

"A lady’s toast is really different, Mr. Li was just saying he wouldn’t drink today, and now he broke his rule for a beautiful lady."

"Haha, a lady’s charm is powerful."

"I also want to toast to Mr. Li later, I haven’t had a chance to toast Mr. Li tonight."

As Li Shengxiao drank the glass, the atmosphere on the field immediately became lively. Those who had felt awkward because he didn’t drink or summon the beauties suddenly felt like finding companions, their whole bodies relaxed, and they had the courage to joke around with the mood.

Cai Wen knew he genuinely had a stomach upset, and acting as a mediator, he gestured with his hands to calm the situation, halting those trying to pour more drinks.

"Let’s stop after this drink. Mr. Li isn’t feeling well today, let’s not toast anymore. We just came out to chat; it’s not good if anyone ends up in the hospital."

With the highest authority there, as he spoke, the others, even if reluctantly, had to give him face. They followed suit, "Since Director Cai said so, we’ll just have to drink properly with Mr. Li another time."
