Everyone was suddenly quiet, but they didn’t know why they were quiet.

They looked at each other in confusion. In the end, Long Dahai tried to smooth things over.

“Ah, I understand, I understand.” He pressed his hand down on the dining table, signaling everyone not to make a fuss. “Su Ji is a girl. If you can’t drink today, you can drink another day. No one is allowed to make her drink.

Otherwise, it would be bad if CEO Pei finds out.”

His joking tone was especially lively, and the others also came to a realization.

Yan Gaoqiu was the only one who felt a little depressed.

His heart was in an irregular rhythm. He held his chest and panted twice. He did not dare to breathe too fast, afraid that he would accidentally…break his heart!

Jin Fengze asked the waiter to serve Su Ji a drink and handed her the beverage list.

Yan Gaoqiu was sitting beside him. He stretched his head over and asked with narrowed eyes, “you can’t drink alcohol today. Then…can you drink something cold?”

Su Ji glanced at the list. “That should be fine.”

“A cup of Xianning Seven with extra ice, thank you.” She smiled and handed the bill back to the waiter.

Yan Gaoqiu pressed his finger on his glabella as a stubborn expression appeared on his face.

For the number one straight man who had yet to have a girlfriend in his late thirties, he knew nothing about this aspect. After thinking about it, he tapped on his phone under the table.

He entered a few words into the browser’s search bar.

He pressed enter and refreshed the search results. He frowned and looked at the dishes on the table.

Finally, he locked onto a plate of crab roe soup dumplings made from 60 female and 40 male crabs.

“Then do you want to try this soup dumpling…”

He was testing the waters. He knew that Su Ji was a good doctor and knew more than him.

Then, Su Ji glanced at the plate. “I can’t eat this.”

Yan Gaoqiu: ‘ .

After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere had become much livelier. The eyes of those who had low alcohol tolerance began to widen, and those who were good at drinking also began to close their eyes.

Su Ji did not drink, and she did not crave for it when she saw the others drinking. Everyone else was drinking, and she was eating.

Today was a very authentic Chinese meal.

She ate a few pieces of fried eggplant. She dipped it in soy sauce and garlic, which reduced the greasiness.

The soft sauce pork knuckle was mixed with white rice and minced with a spoon. Then, the crispy green bamboo shoots were stir-fried. The oily braised soup wrapped around the crystal clear rice. It was irresistible.

The directors were drinking so much that the waiters came back and forth to serve them wine and empty the bottles. Su Ji stopped the waiter on the way and ordered a dessert for herself.

Su Ji rarely ordered by herself, so she didn’t know much about it. She just randomly ordered a dish based on the fancy name on the menu.

It was a Swiss roll flavored with Earl Grey tea. There was a toasted marshmallow on top and pearl-like sugar grains scattered around it.

The marshmallow was extremely crispy when bitten. The originally soft surface had turned into a crispy shell with a carmelized taste after being baked. However, after biting through it, the inside was still soft, hot and soft, like eating hot ice cream.

Su Ji was familiar with the taste of the Swiss rolls Pei Huai often ordered desserts for her that were very similar to this, but more delicate. It turned out that this was the taste of Earl Grey tea.

She was eating so happily that her chewing and swallowing actions were clean and neat. It was even more enjoyable than watching mukbangs.

It didn’t take long for her to attract a wave of drunken gazes.

Long Dahai also looked over, and an idea flashed through his mind. He remembered that he had something important to discuss with Su Ji.

Before he was completely drunk, he scurried over to sit beside Su Ji.

He said politely, “about the official announcement of the release of the Qingqiu Tactics…l was hoping to ride on the popularity of your engagement with CEO

Su Ji looked up at him.

It was one of Long Dahai’s skills to be able to make it sound so straightforward.

If he acted first before reporting or if he beat around the bush, it might make people think that he was cunning, but he would look at you with extremely sincere eyes and discuss with you in an extremely sincere tone.

Su Ji:

Anyone who rejected him would feel bad.

Long Dahai continued, “there’s no need for other methods. We just want to make the official announcement the day after your engagement party to take advantage of your popularity. However, I will definitely have to discuss this with you first.”

“Sure.” Su Ji put a Swiss roll into her mouth with a fork. “I might even be trending on that day. It’s my honor to be able to help the production team.”

As she spoke, she lifted her fork like a gentleman.

Very generous.

Long Dahai was afraid that she would disagree, but he was finally relieved when he heard that.

“You’re so nice!” Long Dahai wanted to give her a bear hug, but when he remembered CEO Pei’s face, he decided against it. He retracted his hand awkwardly. “Heh, your engagement with CEO Pei will definitely be trending.

Not only will it be trending, but it’ll definitely be number one!”

Su Ji did not say anything, nor did she give him any advance notice. However, she had just said that she might be trending, and it was not just because of the engagement…

Would fans be interested in her pregnancy?

On the Pei family’s side.

When Pei Qingshen saw the new trending searches today, he had to call Pei Huai immediately to ask what was going on.

Pei Huai had just come down from the meeting when he received the call. He put the documents in his hands behind him. Shen Mu quickly took them and put them in his arms.

The phone that answered the call was pressed against his ear. Pei Huai took another phone and listened to Pei Qingshen as he opened Weibo and found the news that was number one on the trending list. The man frowned when he saw the title.

His footsteps slowed down.

“Pei Huai?”

“Did you hear what I said?”

Pei Huai stopped in his tracks and straightened his back. “Don’t tell your granddaughter-in-law about this. It’ll only make things worse. She touched her stomach because she ate well. It has nothing to do with anything else. I’ll send a lawyer’s letter to warn them. You should also take care of yourself. Don’t spread rumors.”

The last sentence was quite heavy, and Shen Mu could hear something unusual. He looked at his CEO and saw that Pei Huai’s expression was very cold, so cold that it was terrifying.

“What do you mean? Am I the kind of person who would spread rumors?” Pei Qingshen could not hide his disappointment.

Pei Huai did not know whether to agree or not.

Pei Qingshen was somewhat embarrassed.

“Alright, got it,” he said. “Let Su Ji eat more. I’m hanging up.”

After hanging up the phone, Pei Huai looked straight ahead and suppressed some emotions.

Shen Mu stepped forward carefully. “Boss…”

Pei Huai looked at Shen Mu with unclear emotions, his gaze dark.

He spun the phone in his hand and slowly pinched it. His slender fingers were clenched one by one, and his knuckles were white.

To be spreading rumors about the future Young Mistress of the Pei family.

A certain CEO felt that they…

…must be tired of living…
