Xiao Qi felt a bit guilty and did not dare to look Lan Qianyu in the eye. However, Ye Yan was his last hope. If he lost this opportunity, he would really suffer a crushing defeat. Thinking about this, he commanded firmly, “Apologize right now!”

“You’re asking me to apologize to him?” Lan Qianyu was furious, and was about to flare up, when Xiao Qi suddenly tugged on her hand, looking at her almost pleadingly, and whispered, “Qianyu, take it that I’m begging you…” Then, he commanded loudly again, “Apologize!”

Lan Qianyu only felt a blazing fury rushing into her chest and she clenched her fists tightly. If this had been normal times, she would have already flared up. But looking at how servile Xiao Qi was, she felt like she did not have the heart to do that to him.

Ye Yan’s lips curled up into a mocking sneer. When he looked back, that sneer had vanished, and was replaced by a rare generosity, “Mr. Xiao, you are in the wrong. Ms. Lan is just feeling anxious for you, how can you treat her like this?”

Lan Qianyu really wanted to yell at him for shedding crocodile tears. But when she thought about how this was indeed Xiao Qi’s last hope, she eventually suppressed her anger and said stiffly, “Sorry!”

“You’re too polite!” Ye Yan was all smiles. “Sit!”

The three of them sat back down at the table once again.

Ye Yan raised his wine glass to toast to Lan Qianyu, “Ms. Lan, thank you for saving me that day.”

“You’re welcome, I didn’t do it on purpose.” Lan Qianyu smiled coldly. Holding her wine glass, she lightly clinked it against Ye Yan’s. “I’ll drink first to honour you.” Then, she drained her half glass of red wine in one gulp.

“Good alcohol capacity!” Ye Yan smiled slightly and symbolically took a sip of his wine.
