  Yan Rusheng glanced at him as he pressed his lips. A mysterious smile played at the corners of his mouth.

  Everyone at the table looked at him.

  Xuxu was getting anxious and she prodded Yan Rusheng’s thigh to remind him that they were at an official event.

  Yan Rusheng nodded at Zhao Zheng. “Sure.”


  He raised his glass towards Zhao Zheng.

  Zhao Sheng stood while Yan Rusheng settled himself comfortably against his chair. He appeared haughty from the way he glanced at Zhao Zheng.

  But this made Xuxu heave a sigh of relief.

  Teacher Zhao was present too, and he was really nice to her. She had to consider his feelings, too.

  Zhao Zheng smiled and raised his glass to toast Yan Rusheng. Their glasses chinked, making a pleasant sound.

  When he shared a toast with Yan Rusheng, he deliberately placed his glass higher.

  Yan Rusheng and Xuxu were observant people and they noticed it. Both grinned in amusement.

  Bai Jing, who was sitting beside Su Yue, was on tenterhooks as she watched Yan Rusheng and Zhao Zheng toasting each other. She clenched her fists under the table.

  She was really nervous.

  Yan Rusheng’s slightly flushed face, his sparkling eyes, his gorgeous-looking face, were all making her heart thump.

  Her heart would seem to leap out of her chest at any moment.

  Who wouldn’t want a man like him?

  Bai Jing’s eyes landed on Zhao Zheng as she waited in anticipation.

  Zhao Zheng stole a glance at Bai Jing and a malicious gleam flashed across his eyes. He didn’t hesitate and instead gulped down the entire glass.

  He didn’t want to waste time on Zhao Zheng, so Yan Rusheng planned to finish his entire glass too.

  If he merely took a sip, Zhao Zheng would seize this opportunity and make an issue.

  He knew that Xuxu respected all the teachers inside the room, especially that some of them had been very nice to her.

  “What’s wrong?”


  “Why is there a blackout?”


  Yan Rusheng was about to drink when darkness enveloped the room.

  When the lights went off, the room went pitch-dark.

  A slight commotion began in the room since everyone was in a panic.

  “Ah Sheng.” Xuxu instinctively stretched her hand to grab Yan Rusheng.

  Before Yan Rusheng could respond, the lights came back once more.

  All the faces in the room still appeared to be either frightened or shocked.

  Amidst the whispers, they heard knocking sounds.

  The hotel manager walked in with an apologetic expression as he bowed to everyone. “I’m terribly sorry. Our electrical wires had a slight malfunction and it caused inconvenience to everyone. My apologies once more.”


  He was trying to convey that it was an accident.

  Nobody made a fuss and everyone sat down once more. They continued to eat, drink, and chat.

  Yan Rusheng was still clutching Xuxu’s wrist. When it went dark earlier on, he placed his wineglass on the table instantly.

  Zhao Zheng was still standing beside him. “Yan Rusheng, you haven’t finished your drink……”


  Yan Rusheng immediately gulped down the entire glass before putting it down. He didn’t even throw a glance at Zhao Zheng.

  Zhao Zheng smirked when he saw Yan Rusheng finished the entire glass.

  He said nothing and turned around, after which he stole a furtive glance at Bai Jing.
