54: 55, I’m on medication, please let me go.
54: 55, I’m on medication, please let me go.
The elderly gentleman became anxious as soon as he heard this, hurriedly pulling out his phone to make a call and then rushing off.
As the old man was not yet far away, An Xiaoyu heard the phone connect, and the old man shouted out a name.
“Yufeng, your grandmother has been taken to the hospital…”
For a moment, An Xiaoyu felt frozen in place.
Why did she associate Shen Yufeng with a stranger making a phone call?
Was she losing her mind?
Had Shen Yufeng’s influence infiltrated every aspect of her life?
She couldn’t stand this anymore…
When the daytime event ended, the group went out for a meal together at a prearranged hotel.
As soon as An Xiaoyu walked in, she saw a familiar figure, Qin Zixiao!
And by his side was a glamorous figure—who else could it be but his girlfriend?
An Xiaoyu felt a tightness in her chest and was immediately overwhelmed by a sense of loss.
Qin Zixiao saw her and took the initiative to greet her: “Xiaoyu, you’re here for dinner too?”
An Xiaoyu managed a smile.
“Yes, I’m out with my colleagues from the studio.”
Conveniently, the design director Bai Mingxuan was high school classmates with Qin Zixiao, and they had collaborated in the past.
Now that An Xiaoyu also knew Qin Zixiao, how could she not seize such a rare opportunity? Google seaʀᴄh 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✶𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✶𝓷𝓮𝓽
So he hurriedly went up and said: “Zixiao, why not honor us with your company for the meal?”
Qin Zixiao glanced at An Xiaoyu, then turned his head and asked Li Xin with a smile.
Li Xin seemed a bit reluctant but graciously said, “I’ll leave it up to you!”
So, everyone entered a private dining room together.
Bai Mingxuan and Qin Zixiao engaged in a lively conversation, repeatedly praising Li Xin for her beauty and grace.
Qin Zixiao kept up a faint smile throughout, while Li Xin seemed rather pleased with the compliments.
Soon, the server brought dish after dish to the table, and drinks and beverages were all served.
Bai Mingxuan had the server open a bottle of red wine and suggested, “It’s rare for us all to gather ; let’s each have a couple of drinks today, shall we?”
Everyone nodded in agreement, but An Xiaoyu quickly gestured to abstain.
“I can’t, I’ve been running a fever these past two days and I’m on medication!
Qin Zixiao was taken aback, his eyebrows slightly raised.
Why didn’t you say so earlier?”
You were fine on Friday…
and you didn’t mention it when you called last night, no wonder you were up so late!
It was his oversight!
An Xiaoyu gave a wry smile.
“Humans live on grains, who doesn’t get sick?”
Bai Mingxuan did not insist and replaced her drink with juice.
“I’ll switch to juice as well!
One of us has to drive back tonight!”
After saying this, Li Xin helped Qin Zixiao with his food, placing it on his plate.
Bai Mingxuan clicked his tongue twice, sighing:
“Sis-in-law, it’s not fair to play , showing off your love here – are you trying to kill us single folks with jealousy?”
Li Xin’s laugh was gentle and lovely, but her eyes kept falling on An Xiaoyu, intentionally or not.
When An Xiaoyu mentioned she had a fever, Qin Zixiao clearly became anxious, and this realization made Li Xin uneasy.
However, An Xiaoyu was oblivious to all this, chatting cheerfully with Gu Xiaobei and Mo Qianqian beside her.
After a few rounds of drinks, everyone became more convivial, turning the dining room into a boisterous space.
Bai Mingxuan proposed, “It’s still early, why don’t we play a game?”
Quickly, the server brought over three sets of Crystal Dice.
Bai Mingxuan looked around with a smile and said, “Since we’re going to play, let’s make it exciting!
We’ll roll the dice to see who gets the highest number.
Whoever rolls the highest can command the lowest roller to answer a question or do something!
How about it, dare to join?”
