C67 (2/2)
Ye Jia's body moved, she took off her seat belt and got off, then followed one of the waiters to the second floor. The waiter led them to a large private room on the second floor and opened the door to let them in.
As she walked in, Ye Jia realized that there were still so many adults inside. A big round table was already filled with people. Almost everyone stood up and greeted him with a smile. One of the men laughed heartily and said, ”Ye, I didn't expect a busy person like you to reward us. It's really surprising!”
”Why can't I come when everyone from the traffic jam team is here?” Nangong Ye asked him.
”The whole world knows that you're a busy man, how could you have the time to play with us small fry?” Don't tease a man.
”Is that so? ”Since that's the case, I'll head back first.” After Nangong Ye said this, she pulled Ye Jia along and turned to leave. All of a sudden, a man rushed in front of him and blocked his way, ”Since you're here, don't even think about leaving. No matter who you are, we'll just let you go tonight.”
Ye Jia looked at the group of laughing men and women, her heart filled with curiosity. She never thought that the usually cold and meticulous Nangong Ye who was crazy about work would have such a side to her and so many good friends.
For some reason, she unexpectedly thought of Long Haochen, who was also standing at the peak of the storm. I wonder if the private Long Haoxuan also had a group of good friends that didn't care about the small details? From the looks of it, he didn't seem to have any personality!
Long Haochen! He was even colder than Nangong Ye and Long Tianqi, so it was difficult to get close to him. Other than hatred, there was nothing in his heart. Her hatred for her, her hatred for the beauty, suddenly felt like a man living in such a world. No matter how rich or powerful he was, he would still be lonely. He would be more tired of living than anyone else!
Nangong Ye was pushed back into her chair and everyone started to look at Ye Jia. Then they smiled and asked, ”Is this your new girlfriend? Not bad, your stomach has become lighter. ”
Hearing them say that, Ye Jia looked at Nangong Ye with a red face, only to see him touching his nose uncomfortably. He coughed lightly and said, ”In front of my lady companion, be more tactful with your words.” What do you mean by a new girlfriend? He didn't like hearing that. He was worried that Ye Jia would misunderstand something.
”Hello everyone, I am his assistant, my name is Ye Jia, hur hur.” In any case, Nangong Ye already knew her real name, so she might as well reveal her real name. That way, it wouldn't be that awkward.
”Assistant? Oh... I understand! ”Come, let's drink. Let's toast to the assistant first.” The nice boy opened his cup, and everyone raised it. Ye Jia stared at the group of men and women who were laughing dutifully. She raised her glass to her and blushed as she shook her head with all her might, ”Sorry, I don't know how to drink, I really don't know how to? ”How about I use tea in place of wine?” After which, he lifted up a cup of tea.
She couldn't drink, but the main reason was that she couldn't. How could a pregnant woman drink? It was time to be scolded to death by Hu Ziyan, and it was indeed bad for the baby.
”The tea isn't good enough. Come, let's drink a cup.” The crowd started to clamor. Ye Jia stared at the cup in front of her in a panic. He couldn't do anything but drink a mouthful of the wine. Fortunately, the spicy feeling instantly burned her throat and her stomach, causing her to cough heavily.
Seeing this, Nangong Ye took the remaining half cup of wine and said to everyone, ”Let me drink on her behalf.”
”Alright! For the sake of your superior being such a gentleman, I'll let you drink on his behalf. ” The crowd clamored. Ye Jia weakly sat on her chair as she looked gratefully at Nangong Ye. Under the dim light, he leisurely drank all the wine in her cup.
After drinking, the group sat down. Nangong Ye leaned over to her ear and explained with a smile, ”They are my friends from when I played traffic jam in the United States. They just happened to be back in Peace City in the past few days. The beauties beside them are all their girlfriends or wives.”
”Oh.” To be honest, she was not interested in these people. Maybe it was because of strangers, but seeing how happy they were, he was rather envious. Friendship was much more valuable than love!
”You haven't eaten yet. Eat something first.” Nangong Ye considerately opened her mouth and helped her pick up a bowl full of delicious dishes.
”Thank you.” Ye Jia looked at him and realized that he had changed. Compared to the Nangong Ye who he had seen earlier in the day, who always had a faint smile on her face and was so evil that it made people hate her. At this moment, he was like an ordinary person, a very good friend. It was said that the atmosphere could change a person. In such a peaceful time, he also changed.
During the meal, Ye Jia was forced to drink half a cup of wine. The rest were all blocked by Nangong Ye. Even so, she still couldn't resist the little bit of alcohol. His head felt increasingly dizzy, and his little face was slightly flushed. It was truly a beautiful face.
Before the meal ended, Ye Jia was already unable to resist as she laid weakly on the table. Seeing this, Nangong Ye had no choice but to help her prepare to leave the seat. He never thought that this woman was so undrinkable. She had only drunk a single cup of wine before she fell!
