The woman at the table was usually very adept at socializing in various circles, excelling at networking over drinks. Only Yan Luoxi had been preoccupied with her conflict with Li An for the past two years and hadn't seen much of the outside world. She was quickly persuaded to drink several cups of wine and started feeling dizzy.

Yan Luoxi leaned back in her chair with squinted eyes, marveling at how time flew by like water, leaving no trace behind. It seemed a mere blink of an eye since they had graduated almost three years ago; their once naive faces now bore the sophistication of maturity.

After several rounds of drinks, everyone, slightly tipsy, reminisced about their youthful follies and shared some recent developments. They noticed that while everyone else spoke extensively, Yan Luoxi remained quiet.

The senior sister Tan assumed an authoritative stance and, fueled by alcohol, loudly exclaimed, "Luoxi, why aren't you talking about the opportunities you've had recently Are you holding back from us"

"I... I don't really have anything to say," Yan Luoxi cracked a bitter smile. She wasn't that she didn't have anything to say; rather, it was hard to put into words.

The senior sister Tan wouldn't let up and proceeded to ask one by one, "Luoxi, which company are you working at now"

"I'm not working. I've been staying at home," Yan Luoxi didn't dare mention that she was looking after her child at home. She had just heard that none of the women at the table were married and feared her statement might be too abrupt, startling everyone.

The women around the table were somewhat surprised; they knew that in college, Yan Luoxi had worked part-time to support herself while studying and was very proactive. Besides, it wasn't common for young people to stay at home nowadays unless there was a particular reason not to work.

Senior sister Tan chuckled heartily: "Then you must have a boyfriend who supports you financially! I remember that when you were in school, you had a successful boyfriend!"

"We... We broke up," mentioning Zhou Guangtao made Yan Luoxi feel an indescribable sensation in her chest.

"Luo Xi, do you have a boyfriend now" Senior Tian, taking advantage of her drunkenness, asked persistently.

Yan LuoXi turned her eyes around. Li An had already registered with her and should no longer be considered her boyfriend. She shook her head and said, "I don't have a boyfriend." To avoid being pressed by her senior, she took a deep breath, raised her glass to change the topic and talk about drinking with everyone.

After several more rounds of drinks, Yan LuoXi really felt tipsy as if she had gotten used to it. One cup after another, she found herself getting increasingly exhilarated.

Towards the end, while others hadn't drunk much, Yan LuoXi was already heavily intoxicated. As Ye Zixing and Yan LuoXi were close friends, upon seeing Yan LuoXi's state, she immediately organized for everyone to leave.

Although Yan LuoXi was now very drunk with a spinning head, her mind was still clear. She knew that she was in the clubhouse and that she was still with everyone else. She did not want to make a fool of herself there and desperately wanted to return home; however, feeling weak all over, she could hardly control her limbs.

Seeing Yan LuoXi heavily intoxicated, everyone agreed to leave as well. Since they had all been drinking and couldn’t drive, they discussed having the clubhouse staff call a taxi for them or take them to nearby hotels.

Just as Ye Zixing was helping Yan LuoXi stand up, Li An walked in, dressed elegantly with an outstanding presence. He immediately rushed over to Yan LuoXi upon entering. Ye Zixing knew something about the relationship between Li An and Yan LuoXi; thus, she quickly passed Yan LuoXi into his arms.

Dazed and confused, Yan LuoXi leaned against Li An, breathing in the familiar scent of him that instantly calmed her anxious heart. She felt as if nothing could scare her anymore even if the sky was to fall apart.

She no longer struggled to pretend she wasn’t drunk or tried to return home; instead, she buried her head into Li An’s chest. His broad chest had a familiar comforting scent that made her feel safe. She closed her eyes and giggled, allowing Li An to hold her.

The women in the suite were all alcohol-tolerant; they were now half-drunk and half-awake, excitedly gathering around when they saw Li An suddenly appear beside Yan LuoXi and tightly embrace her.

"Do you know Luo Xi"

"What is your relationship with Luoxi"

"Are you her boyfriend"

"Luoxi just said she doesn’t have a boyfriend."

...

Before Li An could respond, the questions were pouring out from all directions. What stung him most was the question "Luoxi just said she doesn't have a boyfriend"

He knew that Yan Luoxi was avoiding mentioning her close relationship with him rather than wanting to emphasize to everyone that she didn’t have a boyfriend, as she already had a legally registered husband.

Li An looked down at the inebriated woman in his arms gloomily. He was already upset enough that she had drunk too much, but she refused to acknowledge their relationship, which made him even more furious.

If you don’t want to admit it, I’ll make sure everyone knows about us anyway.

Holding Yan Luoxi, Li An smiled warmly at everyone and said, "Luoxi indeed doesn't have a boyfriend anymore. I successfully advanced from being her boyfriend to becoming her legal husband. My name is Li An."

"What You’re already married to Luoxi" This time it was Ye Xinxin who was surprised. How could Yan Luoxi marry someone without telling me such an important matter

Yan Luoxi got married so early I haven’t heard her mention this before! The women around also looked quite shocked, then curiously sized up Li An from head to toe.

"We've just registered and got our certificate. We'll hold the wedding soon, so we'll send out invitations to all of you then."

These women didn't know Li An's name or background, but judging by his demeanor and appearance, he clearly wasn't an ordinary young man. Li An intended to introduce himself further, but Yan Luoxi in his arms was becoming increasingly weak, so he hurriedly said goodbye to everyone: "Luoxi drank too much today; I won’t introduce myself individually to each of you now. You are all her good friends; we'll meet again later."

I've arranged a car at the entrance and also booked rooms for accommodation. Zi Xin, could you please take care of everyone’s transportation"

As Li An spoke, he half-carried and half-supported Yan Luoxi and quickly left. He left behind a group of women surrounding Ye Zixin to inquire about Li An's origins. At this moment, Ye Zixin was also slightly drunk; the noise around her made her head even more dizzy.

Ye Zixin was the organizer of this gathering and should have been the one to pay the bill. She responded to everyone, "Wait a bit for me; I'll buy the bill and then explain everything in detail."

"Why should you pay Let me do it!"

"Let me handle it! Let me handle it!"

...

Hearing that someone was going to settle the bill, everyone rushed to the reception desk. "Miss, your bill has already been settled by someone else," said the receptionist politely.

"What That's a mistake; we didn't pay!" Everyone looked at each other in surprise.

"It can’t be wrong. The person who paid is our VIP member, Mr. Li An from the Dynasty Empire."轉碼失敗！請您使用右上換源切換源站閱讀或者直接前往源網站進行閱讀！
