Soon, everyone arrived.
Just as the five sat down, the waiters came in to set the table with all the dishes.
Pei Ge’s mood soared as she eyed the table full of delicious food.
Her lips also unknowingly curled up slightly.
These were all captured by the eyes of Fu Mingxuan, who was sitting opposite her.
His mood uncontrollably improved as a result.
“Here, here, here. Before we start eating, let’s first give our great CEO a toast!”
Mu Heng’s eyes darted around then stopped at the man with a crafty look.
Despite noticing this, the man still unhesitatingly raised his glass.
“Yo, not bad! Looks like our great CEO is in a good mood today. Come, come, come. Bottoms up, bottoms up!”
He grinned as he raised his chin at the other two men.
“Bottoms up! Since we’re such good brothers, drink it in one shot.” Liao Gaofei joined in on the fun and was the first to down his glass.
“Okay.”
Ji Ziming cocked an eyebrow and expressionlessly downed his glass, too.
Following him was Fu Mingxuan.
“Nice!”
Mu Heng exclaimed when his few childhood friends all downed their drinks and started the second round of toasting.
“Here, here, here. For the next glass, I want to toast to our future sister-in-law.”
He raised his glass toward Pei Ge.
“Little Chili, you’ll become our sister-in-law in just a few days. I thank you for appearing in our friend’s life and for falling in love with this boorish guy.”
Her lips curled up involuntarily and her face, as well as her eyes, became filled with happiness.
“It’s me who should be thanking him for appearing in my life.”
“Don’t! Future sister-in-law, let’s not be this humble. It’s our friend’s fortune to have met you.” With that, the playboy raised his glass. “I toast this glass to you!”
“Mhm.”
She also raised her glass and, with a smile, moved to down her drink.
However, before her glass could reach her lips, it was halted midway by the man beside her.
“Hm, Ziming?” She blinked at him in confusion.
“Your tolerance is quite low. You’ll get drunk,” whispered the man to her ear as he gripped her wrist.
“Ziming, you’re dampening the mood! I already made such a long speech about toasting to our future sister-in-law, so you can’t be like this!” Mu Heng immediately jumped out to complain.
Eyeing these two men, especially Ji Ziming, her head shook in amusement.
“Ziming, it’s fine. Anyway, even if I get drunk, you’re still around.”
“That’s true.”
As though he had thought of something, his eyes twinkled and he did not continue stopping her.
He released his grasp of her wrist and watched her down the glass of drink.
“Haaaa!”
After she emptied her glass, she felt that her throat was on fire, and hot air assaulted her chest when she breathed in.
She did not drink often; hence, her alcohol tolerance was truly low.
Therefore, with just this alcohol traveling down her throat, her cheeks turned red.
However, instead of getting drunk, she felt her mind clear up more.
“Come, come, come. For the next glass, I will continue to toast to your great CEO! Little Chili, come and drink!”
For some reason, this Casanova kept urging the couple to drink. Even Ji Ziming who had high alcohol tolerance felt a little queasy.
Of course, this was not mentioning the woman who had close to zero alcohol tolerance.
“Continue drinking!”
After the playboy mumbled this to the couple, he passed out on the table, drunk as a skunk.
The other two men were not much better.
Liao Gaofei had long passed out on the dining table, while Fu Mingxuan’s cheeks were peach red with glazed eyes from drunkenness.
In this private room, only Ji Ziming was slightly better. Even then, it was only by a tad bit.
“Pei Ge...”
He took a deep breath and exhaled the heavy breath in his chest before he turned to look at the woman, who had a dazed expression.
“Ziming, he he! Why is there two of you? No! It’s three! There are three of you!”
She looked at him with drunken eyes and a silly smile, looking very amusing and adorable at the moment.
The man shook his head in amusement at this.
“I already told you not to drink so much.”
His long fingers gently poked her red and hot cheek as he commented with a laugh.
“D-Drink so much? I didn’t drink a lot! I c-can still drink! Come, come, come! Let’s... drink another glass!”
The drunk woman reached her hand out for the wine glass in front of her.
“Alright.”
He opened her palm and held her hand.
“Be obedient. Let’s go home to rest now.”
“O-Oh, okay! No problem! I’ll... listen obediently as long as Ziming says it!”
She rushed into his embrace with a wide smile. The way she kept rubbing her head against his chest was truly an amusing sight.
“Heh!”
Giving the drunk cat rubbing her head against his chest a helpless look, the man chuckled. He seemed to like her intimate actions very much.
“How bad is her alcohol tolerance...” To be this drunk.
After muttering this internally, he eyed the nearly passed-out woman from drunkenness in his embrace. A quick thought later, and he decided to book a suite in this hotel and stay for the night.
However, as Mu Heng was too high from drinking and did not want the waiters to interrupt them, there was no one nearby.
He wanted to press the bell for service, asking them to prepare a suite for him, but the bell seemed to be spoiled.
With a slight frown, he eyed the drunken people in the room and could only stand up from his seat.
“Pei Ge, wait here for a moment. I’ll be back soon.”
