After being dumped by the diva, I was picked up by her arch-enemy.

"Mr. Gu, in this industry, sincerity is shown over drinks. Since you've come all this way, we need to have a good talk."

The third cup is full again.

Gu Ruanxing stared at the glass of wine, took a deep breath, and was about to pick it up.

The door to the private room was suddenly pushed open.

A tall figure appeared at the doorway.

Jiang Yichen changed into a dark shirt, put his hands in his pockets, and walked in unhurriedly.

"I'm late, sorry."

Gu Ruanxing suddenly raised her head, her eyes widening.

What's this guy doing here?

Li Man stopped what she was doing and looked at the man at the door.

With high, arched brows and sharp features, he looks like he stepped right out of a TV show.

She narrowed her eyes and quietly put down the wine dispenser in her hand.

"And this is...?"

Gu Ruanxing hadn't even had a chance to speak.

Jiang Yichen had already walked around the round table, pulled out the chair next to Gu Ruanxing and sat down, then casually took an empty wine glass from the waiter.

"I'm her business partner," he said. "I happened to be nearby and heard there was a dinner party here, so I came to tag along for a seat."

Gu Ruanxing grabbed his arm and lowered her voice.

What are you doing here?

Jiang Yichen turned his head to the side, his tone calm.

"Is your phone out of signal? I've sent you several messages and you haven't replied."

Gu Ruanxing then remembered that her phone in her bag had been on silent and she hadn't checked it for quite some time.

Li Man's gaze swept over Jiang Yichen twice before she suddenly burst out laughing.

"Who do we have here?"

"So it's Boss Jiang, who's been all the rage online lately."

Li Man put down the wine dispenser, her eyes revealing undisguised interest.

She had already seen Jiang Yichen's videos; he was even more handsome in person than in the videos.

"Is Boss Jiang trying to be a hero and save the damsel in distress?"

Li Man leaned back in her chair, her hands clasped together.

"However, there's a rule at the dinner table that if you drink for someone else, the price will be doubled."

Jiang Yichen looked at Li Man.

"Can."

Without even hesitating, he picked up the wine dispenser on the table.

I poured myself a full glass of baijiu (Chinese liquor).

Jiang Yichen picked up the cup, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp, the fiery liquid flowing down his throat.

Li Man clapped her hands.

"Great drinking capacity! Boss Jiang, you're really something!"

She personally picked up the wine bottle and refilled Jiang Yichen's glass.

"This second toast is to Boss Jiang for his young and promising career."

Jiang Yichen didn't waste any words, picked up his glass and downed it again.

He downed two glasses of baijiu in a row.

Jiang Yichen's expression froze. He felt a churning in his stomach, his mind went blank, and his vision became blurry.

In his past life, he prided himself on having a pretty good alcohol tolerance, right? Could it be that this liquor was too strong?

It took him a while to realize what was happening.

He suddenly realized something: why the original owner of this body had drunk himself to death.

This body's alcohol tolerance is absolutely terrible!

Two glasses of baijiu (Chinese liquor) brought him to his limit.

Jiang Yichen gritted his teeth and forced himself to stand still.

Seeing his face light up quickly, Li Man smiled even more broadly and poured a third cup.

"Boss Jiang, once this third glass is finished, I'll sign the cooperation agreement between Jinhua and Xingchen."

Gu Ruanxing, sitting next to him, noticed that something was wrong with Jiang Yichen.

She reached out and tugged at Jiang Yichen's sleeve. "Don't be stubborn."

Jiang Yichen ignored Gu Ruanxing.

He took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed the churning in his stomach.

He raised his third glass of wine.

He closed his eyes and poured it down his throat.

boom.

The empty wine glass was placed heavily on the table.

Jiang Yichen braced his hands on the table, his knuckles turning white.

He felt like the entire private room was spinning.

The sky darkened and the earth spun.

Li Man nodded in satisfaction.

"Great! Mr. Gu. Bring the contract to Jinhua tomorrow."

Li Man picked up her bag and left the private room in her high heels.

The door to the private room was closed.

Jiang Yichen could no longer hold on.

His legs went weak, and he collapsed into the chair, his head hitting the table hard.

Gu Ruanxing was startled. "Hey! Jiang Yichen! Don't scare me!"

She quickly went over and patted Jiang Yichen's face.

Jiang Yichen's eyes were tightly closed, his brows were furrowed, and his face was as red as a boiled shrimp.

Gu Ruanxing was so angry at his miserable state of being completely drunk that she laughed.

"With such a low alcohol tolerance, you still dare to act like a hero saving a damsel in distress."

She sighed helplessly and took out her phone to call for help.

Ten minutes later, Su Yao rushed to the battlefield.

"Mr. Gu, Mr. Jiang is quite drunk. Should we take him back to the Qilin Theater?"

Gu Ruanxing thought for a moment. "Forget it. If his fellow disciples saw him like this, they'd probably laugh at him."

Gu Ruanxing stood up and rubbed her throbbing temples.

"Take him back to my hotel first."

.......

Half an hour later.

A five-star hotel in Beijing.

It took Gu Ruanxing and Su Yao a lot of effort to get Jiang Yichen into the suite.

Jiang Yichen was a tall man, over 1.8 meters, and incredibly heavy.

Gu Ruanxing threw him onto the large double bed.

Exhausted, he collapsed onto the sofa next to him, panting heavily.

Su Yao poured a glass of warm water and placed it on the bedside table.

"Mr. Gu, would you like me to stay and take care of things?"

Gu Ruanxing waved her hand. "No need. You've had a long day, go back to your room and rest."

Su Yao nodded, turned and left the suite.

Only Gu Ruanxing and Jiang Yichen, who was lying on the bed, remained in the room.

Gu Ruanxing took off her high heels and walked barefoot to the bedside.

Jiang Yichen was sleeping soundly.

The man on the bed was fast asleep, with a faint smell of alcohol.

Her usually meticulously combed hair was now disheveled in front of her forehead, and her collar was slightly open, revealing her prominent collarbone.

Gu Ruanxing looked down at him and couldn't help but reach out and poke his face with her finger.

Surprisingly, it feels pretty good in the hand.

"That's what you do to annoy me."

Gu Ruanxing muttered to herself.

She turned and went into the bathroom, then came out with a hot towel.

He haphazardly wiped Jiang Yichen's face a couple of times.

Jiang Yichen was disturbed from his peaceful dream. He frowned and turned his head away from the towel.

After wiping herself, she tossed the towel onto the bedside table and was about to turn and leave.

Jiang Yichen's hand suddenly moved, and he grabbed Gu Ruanxing's wrist.

Extremely strong.

"ah--"

She gasped and crashed onto the bed, landing squarely on Jiang Yichen's chest!

Gu Ruanxing's face instantly turned bright red.

She struggled to get up.

As a result, Jiang Yichen flipped over, scooped her up with his long arm, and pulled her and the blanket into his arms!

His arms were tightly wrapped around Gu Ruanxing's waist, and his chin rested on the top of her head.

His hot breath sprayed against Gu Ruanxing's ear.

Gu Ruanxing froze completely.

She didn't dare to breathe, her heart pounding wildly in her chest.

"Jiang Yichen! Let go of me!" Gu Ruanxing shouted in a low voice.

Jiang Yichen did not react.

Gu Ruanxing tried to pry Jiang Yichen's fingers off, but she couldn't budge them at all.

Gu Ruanxing was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

That bastard definitely did it on purpose!

She raised her leg, intending to kick Jiang Yichen hard.

But the two were too close together to exert any force.

After all that trouble...

Gu Ruanxing was panting heavily from exhaustion.

Jiang Yichen was still fast asleep.

Gu Ruanxing gave up struggling.

She was held tightly in Jiang Yichen's arms.

I could smell the faint scent of mint mixed with the smell of alcohol on him.

Gu Ruanxing's face grew hotter and hotter.

She looked up at Jiang Yichen's face, which was so close to hers.

Long eyelashes cast shadows on her eye sockets, her nose was high and straight, and her lips were very red from drinking.

When this guy is quiet, he's actually quite good-looking.

This thought suddenly popped into Gu Ruanxing's mind.

She quickly shook her head, banishing the dangerous thought.

The night grew deeper, and the room was quiet.

All that could be heard was their alternating breathing.

Gu Ruanxing had already drunk quite a bit of alcohol, and after all that commotion, she finally felt sleepy.

She leaned against Jiang Yichen's chest, listening to his steady and powerful heartbeat, her eyelids growing heavier and heavier.

I don't know how much time passed.

Gu Ruanxing also fell into a deep sleep.
