Chapter 594: In an intimate moment after drinking, who am I to you?

"Just...a male colleague?"

Tang Wan slightly frowned upon hearing this explanation, Jiang Jinsang made sense, after Shen Shuci moved to the capital for work, it was natural that he had his own circle of friends, being single and unmarried, going out with someone of the opposite sex was perfectly normal.

But she had to explain, always feeling like there was an air of protesting too much.

"When should Fifth Brother and I go over tomorrow?"

"Whenever it’s convenient for you, just give me a call in advance."

"Have you been drinking?" Tang Wan had sensed it earlier; her voice sounded a bit floaty today.

"I had a little."

"Then take care of yourself."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Shuci sighed a long breath of relief. This whole thing was like a Rashomon; if she told Tang Wan who she was with, Tang Wan would definitely ask why, and she couldn’t just say she was off to poach skills, then last time’s incident would be exposed, and things would just get more and more complicated...

The fruit wine was sweet but not rich, carrying a strong, fresh lychee flavor. Shen Shuci drank quite a bit without noticing, already feeling tipsy, the world spinning around her, incapable of sensing the subtle shift of atmosphere inside the car.

Only when the car stopped in front of the apartment building did she grab her bag and stagger out.
