“I still have commitments, please excuse me.”

With no intention to continue being in Qiu Yanbo’s presence, Su Qingsang gave a slight bow before turning on her heels to go back to the private dining room where she was supposed to be.

Qiu Yanbo narrowed his eyes and lifted a foot seemingly with the intention to go after her, but he spotted another person coming out of the dining room and stopped in his tracks.

“What took you so long?”

Her co-workers teased Su Qingsang upon her return to the private dining room.

“It must be her darling husband who had called her. Being newly married must be tiring. Despite seeing each other every day, both of you are still so attached to each other.”

“Isn’t that the truth? Looking at these youngsters, we are really green with envy.”

Su Qingsang blushed furiously. She felt extremely awkward looking at those around her.

Zuo Hongchen gazed at the lingering flush on her cheeks and could only feel discomforting stuffiness in his chest.

It was clear that he was the one who had known her and fallen for her first, but he had been a step too late. How could he not be mad at that?

Su Qingsang was not aware of his innermost thoughts, yet the others around them could clearly see that Zuo Hongchen began to down glass after glass of alcohol without restraint.

In the end, the group of doctors and nurses remained rather sober due to their lack of interest in drinking. Zuo Hongchen and the hospital administration’s Deputy Director Yang were the only two to get drunk.

Su Qingsang initially wanted to suggest giving Zuo Hongchen a lift home, but they did not live near each other, so other co-workers dropped him off on their way home.

Instead, she gave a ride to two nurses on her way home. By the time she arrived home, Huo Jinyao was already back.

He was not only home but had also showered already. He was sitting on the bed and playing games on his cellphone.

“Dear, you’re back.”

He tossed his cellphone aside and got off the bed to embrace her with a sweep of his arms.

“Are you drunk? Why do you smell so strongly of alcohol?”

“No, the others were drinking. The smell lingered on my clothes.”

“Really?”

Huo Jinyao leaned in close and sniffed the corner of her lips.

“I can smell alcohol. Are you sure you didn’t drink?”

“I didn’t.”
