Toward the second half of the banquet, the tables and chairs were no longer meaningful.

The round table had turned into buffet table.
There weren’t a lot of food on top of it, but it was chalked full of all sorts of alcoholic beverages.

Next to the table.

One of them was standing and the other sitting.

Gu Nian felt very dizzy.
She was certain that she was standing up but the distance of the floor next to her feet seemed to be closer to her at times than others.

The middle-aged man in front of her seemed to be out to get her.
He passed her one glass after another.
He was talking to Luo Xiu but he already knew to hand the wine glass over to Gu Nian.

“This young lady looks so young but she really could handle her alcohol.
She must have been doing this for a while now.”

“I do… alright.”

“Just alright? Haha.
This young generation is so humble.
If you are ‘just alright’, surely your boss would not have taken you with him.
Here, you are taking this one too, right?”

“… yes.”

Gu Nian tried to focus twice before she was finally able to locate the glass of wine that had been waving in front of her.
She reached out her hand ––

SMACK!

Her paw was smacked down.

She felt something tightened around her wrist and with a slight yank, Gu Nian was pulled behind Luo Xiu who had just stood up.

“She holds alcohol alright.”

The usual relaxed feel and tenderness were mostly gone in those dark brown eyes behind the lens.
In fact, they were exuding a kind of cold fierceness.

“Hmm? The girl didn’t even say anything.” The middle-aged investor’s hand that was holding onto the wine glass paused a little before he smiled and said, “If you are going to bring with you a pretty assistant like her, then you need to be prepared that she would be offered alcohol.
Don’t be too arrogant now, young man.”

“…Mmm, he was right!”

That came from the head that poked out next to Luo Xiu’s arm.
She even cocked her head and said to Lin Xi seriously afterward, “I feel that… I can do another two, nope, nope, three glasses.”

The girl lifted up five fingers, brought one down.
She counted the remaining four carefully and grumbled, “Yup.
Three glasses.”

Luo Xiu sighed.

He wrapped his hand around the girl’s fingers that were lifted under his eye and held onto them firmly.
He then looked at the middle-aged man whom he found very irritable.

“My assistant is drunk.
Pardon us.”

“Hey…”

The middle-aged man lifted his hand.
Unfortunately, he didn’t had another a chance to talk but to watch as Luo Xiu turned, put his arm around the girl in a protective stance and started walking toward the exit of the banquet hall.

The hallway outside the banquet hall was quiet.

“Four, no.
This is three, three glasses!”

Rounding a corner, Luo Xiu was finally able to bring down the girl’s hand while she was seriously debating with him how many fingers she had.
Before he could even secure her hand, he ran into the two persons by the elevator who seemed to have been waiting there for a while now.

They were….
of the screenwriter team.

Luo Xiu tried for a second or two and gave up willingly.

He had forgotten their names already.

“Something’s the matter?”

He looked up.
His eyes cold.

Jiang Xiaoqing and Qin Yuanyuan were taken aback.
Jiang Xiaoqing, after she had recollected herself, wanted to jump him.
“Where, where, where do you think you are taking Gu Nian!”

Luo Xiu, “The room upstairs.”

Jiang Xiaoqing, “? ? ?”

Luo Xiu, his arm around Gu Nian’s shoulder, walked around Jiang Xiaoqing, who was stunned at the moment, “Excuse us.”

Qin Yuanyuan, behind her, tried to block him.
“We can’t let you take Gu Nian with you! We, we will bring her back!”

“That’s right!”

Jiang Xiaoqing, too, had recollected herself and also walked in front of Luo Xiu to block him on his way.

“… …”

Luo Xiu looked up abruptly.
His look became cold and fierce all of a sudden.

Qin Yuanyuan’s hand that were reaching toward Gu Nian paused in midair.

Jiang Xiaoqing was even more intimidated.
Her hand that was holding her phone was trembling.
“Don’t, don’t, don’t get any ideas! There are three of us.
And, I… I will call the cops if I have to!”
