Lu Zhao gently avoided Mr. Wang’s hand and said indifferently, "Mr. Wang, for someone who uses such underhanded methods, whether it’s Fengxuan or KC, it’s better not to get involved." Mr. Wang was puzzled, "Huh?" Just now, they hadn’t even started the main topic yet, and they were interrupted by the uninvited Mr. Meng, who only said a few words about some female star, and what else? Mr. Wang really didn’t get it and didn’t even think about the little star Mr. Meng mentioned. He just assumed Mr. Jing had misunderstood something and quickly pulled Lu Zhao to ask him to pass a message. Lu Zhao didn’t say much, easily pushed aside his hand again, turned around to leave, and saw that Jing Jihan had already entered the right-side VIP elevator, so he followed directly. In the Plum Room on the second floor of Yuezhi Donglai, Mr. Meng had been out for a while. The remaining vice presidents of KC Group or the advertising and planning executives and directors were not affected. They continued to discuss the proposals and drink the wine. Shi Su knew before coming here that this social event was unavoidable, but in her eyes, a company like KC was a very reputable domestic brand, so she thought it was just an advertisement endorsement discussion and did not think it would go wrong. Moreover, before coming, Jun had carefully understood the situation here and said that tonight was just to discuss the follow-up endorsement and advertisement shooting style, at most a few drinks, and she wouldn’t be forced to drink too much. But the hotel’s waiters and staff kept delivering drinks to this room, and when Mr. Meng was here earlier, they already drank a lot. Now that Mr. Meng wasn’t present, the others drank even more freely, pouring drinks into Jun and Shi Su’s glasses one by one. Shi Su had already drunk about four or five glasses by now, and if she drank more, she wouldn’t be able to handle it given her alcohol tolerance. But she was already seated here, especially in such a business negotiation setting, she couldn’t be too refuseful. She already turned down a few drinks earlier and couldn’t keep refusing more. Seeing the glass in front of her filled again, this time it was a full glass of liquor. Shi Su got up with a moderate smile and said, "Excuse me, I need to use the restroom." After speaking, she gave Jun a meaningful look before turning to leave. The restroom on the second floor was a couple of private rooms away from the Plum Room, bypassing two elevators on this floor. Shi Su walked into the restroom, looked around to ensure no one was there, and then took out the small bottle of mineral water and a piece of hangover medicine she had prepared earlier from her bag. In such meetings with advertisers, she couldn’t disrespect the business partner’s face or embarrass Jun. This hangover medicine’s effect would allow her to maintain some sobriety when under the influence of alcohol, avoiding total drunkenness. No matter what, she had to secure this endorsement but ensure she safely returned home. But the small bottle of mineral water, she didn’t know which manufacturer it was from, but the cap wouldn’t open. Shi Su considered herself not the type who needed others to help open bottle caps, yet she couldn’t open it this time. Her hand hurt so much that she shook it while looking around the restroom. Finding nothing to help open the bottle, she turned to leave, intending to call a waiter to help pour her a glass of hot water. She had just stepped out of the restroom door when suddenly a tall figure flashed before her. It was so sudden that she instinctively startled and was about to retreat. Her wrist was suddenly grabbed, and before she could see clearly, she was forcefully and irresistibly dragged into the elevator beside her— As the elevator doors closed, Shi Su leaned against the elevator wall, face full of surprise, looking up at Jing Jihan, who seemed to have appeared from nowhere. If it weren’t for the faintly familiar clear and clean scent she sensed as he approached, she would have screamed at the restroom door! Once she met Jing Jihan’s deep and calm gaze and saw the familiar tall and handsome figure, Shi Su’s eyebrow couldn’t help but twitch. Seeing no one else in the elevator, she looked utterly bewildered and asked, "What are you doing here?" Jing Jihan didn’t answer, nor did he release her hand.

He escorted Shi Su out without any expression and then, not very gently, took the bottle of mineral water from her other hand and threw it into the nearby trash can, then noticed the hangover medicine in her palm. Jing Jihan glanced and knew what it was, his expression displeased and cold as he led her out of the hotel. She was dragged all the way to the parking lot outside Yuezhi Donglai Hotel by the man. Shi Su was accustomed to Jing Jihan’s weakened and fragile state during the month he stayed at her home. Since then, she hadn’t had many opportunities to directly confront him, not knowing his physical strength when healthy, didn’t expect the man’s strength to be this great. She wasn’t a delicate and weak woman either, yet she couldn’t break free the entire way. The disparity in strength was genuinely massive. Not until in front of the black Bentley did Jing Jihan finally release her hand. Seeing her face filled with displeasure as she massaged her aching wrist, immediately stepping back two large steps after being released. At that moment, his cold dark eyes narrowed, not wanting to waste words, only said to her, "Get in the car." Shi Su, while massaging her wrist, looked at him, utterly puzzled: "Why should I get in your car? I’m not just here for a meal; I have to go back..." Before she could finish speaking, warmth suddenly enveloped her back, the coat the man just took off directly draping over her. Shi Su was momentarily stunned, looking up at the man who was helping wrap clothes around her. She wanted to say she had a coat, just left it in the nanny van and didn’t wear it down, but Jing Jihan didn’t give her a chance to chatter. With one hand on the coat behind her and the other opening the passenger door, he directly pushed her inside. Shi Su nearly stumbled into the passenger seat, completely not understanding why Jing Jihan was so angry now, turned to get out of the car, Jing Jihan, however, leaned over at the same time to buckle her seat belt. Shi Su almost bumped into his chin, sat stiffly, feeling the air around the man drop into a strange low pressure inexplicably. She thought about the endorsement; it would be a pity to miss it if not agreed upon. But thinking about this man’s identity before her, seeing his clearly unapproachable expression, she could only withdraw the foot she was about to step out with, sat still in the passenger seat. Having drunk some wine and eaten a bit, Shi Su’s lipstick had slightly smudged, though it didn’t affect her beauty, but up close, there was an unusual allure. After fastening her seat belt, Jing Jihan’s gaze lingered on her face for two seconds, in one of which his sight fell to her lips. The two were so close they could feel each other’s breath. "Even if you don’t let me back into the hotel, at least give me a reason..." Although Shi Su didn’t get out of the car again, she still wanted to ask clearly. Her eyes meeting the man’s close and clear view instantly silenced her.
