Chapter 1389: Chapter 1390: I’ll Go Buy You Stomach Medicine

“Indeed, we’re just out to have fun, let’s just stop when it’s time, stop when it’s time.”

The boss of Hongsheng inwardly snorted coldly, not showing it on his face, but he felt somewhat dissatisfied in his heart. Li Shengxiao, the person in question, suddenly stood up at this moment, poured himself another glass of wine, lifted it, and said to everyone at the table with a cold and noble air, “I’m not feeling well today, and I didn’t plan on drinking. It was indeed an exception earlier. Sorry, this drink is on me.”

The people present in Capital City were all prestigious figures with more or less powerful backgrounds, but compared to him, both their status and backgrounds were lacking by a great deal.

When he personally toasted, even if some were dissatisfied with his earlier actions, they were now flattered and lifted their glasses.

“Mr. Li is too polite!”

“Mr. Li needn’t be so formal, we are all friends here. It’s okay to drink less if your stomach is upset.”

“I toast to Mr. Li.”

Cai Wen wanted to speak but stopped himself, seeing the exceptionally handsome man elegantly interacting with the people around him, he said nothing more.

Actually, Li Shengxiao could have gotten away without drinking tonight, but since he drank the wine served by a ‘beauty’. If he continued to use his upset stomach as an excuse and didn’t drink with the others at all, it would come off as too arrogant. His intermediation helped smooth things over, and others were somewhat appeased as a result.

This was good.

Rong Yan watched him down three cups and felt as anxious as a cat scratching at her heart. If not for the setting, she would have loved to snatch the glass away and drink for him.

Fortunately, others were perceptive. Li Shengxiao had personally toasted, which was more than enough face for them, and they knew when to stop. After coaxing Li Shengxiao into three drinks, by a tacit understanding, they stopped urging him and started toasting other people again.

Rong Yan watched the man beside her sit down, his handsome eyebrows slightly furrowed with discomfort, and his fair skin showed no signs of alcohol reaction, but his paler-than-usual complexion still revealed his stomach discomfort.

After sitting down, he pulled at the collar of his shirt slightly, as if he was having some trouble breathing, then he unbuttoned the top button of his shirt, revealing his sexy Adam’s apple. He leaned back, pinching the bridge of his prominent nose, his long, narrow eyes slightly half-closed. An imposing elegance!

His series of movements were smooth and effortless, exuding a lazy charm that fascinated. This caused the girls at the table to stare.

Rong Yan could only see his furrowed brow and a complexion that was noticeably paler than before.

She quietly poured a glass of lemon water and passed it to him, lowering her voice, she softly said, “Have some water, diluting the alcohol in your stomach will make you feel less uncomfortable.”

The lazily reclined man opened his eyes to look at her, his handsome face sharply chiseled, the scattered lights hitting his well-defined features, making him more startlingly stunning!

This man was intoxicating!

Rong Yan’s heartbeat unconsciously hastened, thumping loudly. She tightened her grip on the glass, remembering that she was still wearing a mask. His attitude was strange, and she didn’t know if he recognized her or not. She struggled inwardly for a moment, then met those knife-like eyes and said, “If it’s too much, I’ll go buy a box of stomach medicine for you!”

Bringing him stomach medicine in front of everyone would totally blow her cover.

Rong Yan knew it would be too conspicuous, but she couldn’t help it. She couldn’t bear to see him in discomfort; if it meant exposing her identity, then so be it, she would just have to find a way to smooth it over later!

After all, Gu Zekai and the other two could only watch from a distance and had no idea of the specifics.
