Chapter 217: 162 Heart fluttering, want to flirt with him; how about coming to my place? (2 updates)

Qi Zeyan wore a crisp suit and a neat side-parted, slick hairstyle, his face hardened. The corridor he faced was directly opposite a window, and the shifting light and shadow outside fell across his face, creating a mottled, dimming effect.

His eyes, usually prideful with an upward slant, were now truly enraged, radiating fury as they fixed on Ruan Mengxi.

“President Qi—” someone chased after him.

Ruan Mengxi glanced towards the person, the same Mr. Ma who had tried to take liberties earlier. Apparently not yet forty, his sparse hair thinly veiled his nearly bald head, which shone under the light.

She pursed her lips:

Still not as shiny as the boss’s slicked hair though.

“President Qi, why are you leaving all of a sudden? We haven’t finished eating yet,” he offered with an apologetic smile.

“What do you think?” Qi Zeyan retorted.

The rest of them weren’t fools either; they probably guessed it had something to do with the intention of getting Ruan Mengxi drunk. After drinking for so long without any objection, the sudden outburst left everyone dumbfounded, unsure how to handle the situation.

Qi Zeyan gripped Ruan Mengxi’s wrist tightly and pulled her towards the exit. Perhaps it was the icy coldness in his eyes that deterred the man from pursuing any further.

“Drinking is something to just deal with and move on. To them, around the table, you’re nothing more than a side dish to accompany drinks. If you don’t want to drink, can’t you refuse?”

Qi Zeyan was somewhat frustrated. Initially, he wanted to see when Ruan Mengxi would explode; after all, she was the only woman bold enough to lash out at him and certainly had a temper. So at first, when that group started toasting, he didn’t intervene. He didn’t expect her to keep accepting…
