After the dishes were served, Nan Chen and Rong Yi returned to the building.

Nan Chen's expression remained darkened. It was hard to tell what he was feeling.

On the other hand, the look in Rong Yi's eyes remained gentle, as though nothing had happened at all.

They were both handsome men, yet their styles were completely different.

They could just sit at the table motionlessly and still be pleasing to the eyes.

Furthermore, there were three beautiful ladies, Ning Ran, Lu Jingyuan, and Rong Rong, at the same table. Together, they formed a very attractive group of people. It was a visual feast for the waiters who served them food.

“Thank you all for taking care of my sister.” Rong Yi lifted his wine glass.

Aside from Nan Chen, the others did the same.

Rong Yi's toasting us right now. Why does Nan Chen refuse to move? I don't get why he's being so rude right now. He's a CEO who must've attended all sorts of events before, so there's no way he doesn't know about basic social etiquette. Even if he dislikes someone, he should still raise his glass when someone's toasting. Ning Ran glanced at Nan Chen, gesturing for him to lift his glass.

It was then Nan Chen slowly informed, “I can't drink alcohol right now due to my body's condition. Can you grab me a cup of water instead?”

Then he nonverbally asked her to fetch a glass of water for him.

Really? He drank wine with me last night. Besides, his injury's an external one, and he's not taking any medicine anymore, so why can't he drink? Doesn't he know responding to a toast is a sign of politeness? It's not like he must drink. Still, I suppose he has his own reasons for refusing to. With no other choice, she poured him a glass of water before delivering it to him.

After they exchanged pleasantries, they started eating.

Ning Ran ate the most. While others were thinking about different things, she was the only one who paid complete attention to the gourmet food.

It was then Rong Rong glanced at her and coughed lightly, as if she was saying, “Don't only just focus on the food. Remember to bring up the matter I asked you to help me with!”

If not for her reminder, Ning Ran wouldn't have recalled she needed to persuade Rong Yi together with Lu Jingyuan to let Rong Rong stay in the city.
