Chen Xiuqi asked, “Which hotel?”
Su Yaya responded, “Nanbin Hotel.”
“Alright, understood.” Chen Xiuqi agreed open-mindedly. “Go ahead, I’ll have Uncle Zhong send you.”
“Okay, got it!” Su Yaya responded cheerfully.
Chen Xiuqi’s laugh could be heard coming from the receiver. “You sound pretty happy about the dinner party, don’t you?”
Su Yaya’s eyes trailed left and right, and she quickly recalled something important. She asked Chen Xiuqi with concern, “Honey, what are you eating tonight if I’m not home?”
Chen Xiuqi responded, “Hm…I might have to go hungry.”
Su Yaya quickly said, “Why don’t I get dinner ready before I go? You can just heat it up when you come back from work.”
Chen Xiuqi laughed. “Why are you so cute?”
“Huh?”
“You don’t have to cook for me tonight. I have an important dinner this evening so I won’t be eating home either. You can keep that promise for next time,” Chen Xiuqi’s amused voice could be heard from her phone.
Oh, so that’s how it is!
Su Yaya pouted and said to Chen Xiuqi, “Alright then, I’ll cook for you next time.”
Chen Xiuqi responded, “Good.”
Su Yaya hummed in response and said goodbye to Chen Xiuqi before hanging up.
Since she had to go out for a dinner tonight, Su Yaya went upstairs to prepare. She changed her clothes, did her makeup, and called Uncle Zhong. After learning that he was already on his way to the villa and would arrive in two minutes, Su Yaya grabbed her bag and headed out the door.
When Su Yaya reached outside of the villa, Uncle Zhong’s car had just arrived. He parked the car and got down to open the car door for Su Yaya.
Su Yaya smiled at him. “You arrived fast, Uncle Zhong.”
Uncle Zhong responded, “Mr. Chen has already called me before this.”
Su Yaya said, “Thank you, Uncle Zhong.”
Uncle Zhong welcomed her thanks and opened the car door for her. Then, he entered the driver’s seat and drove off for Nanbin Hotel.
They arrived at Nanbin Hotel in just under half an hour. Su Yaya called Sun Lei while she was still in the car.
“Have you arrived?” Sun Lei asked on the phone.
Su Yaya responded, “I’m here.”
Sun Lei quickly answered, “I’ll come over immediately.”
Su Yaya went out of the car with her bag and headed for Nanbin Hotel’s entrance. Before she could even reach the entrance, Sun Lei had already arrived a step early. When he saw her, he waved at her. “Over here!”
Su Yaya headed to him.
“Everyone’s already here. We’re in the Fumantang Room.” Sun Lei led Su Yaya inside.
Very quickly, they arrived in their private room. Everyone had already been sitting around for some time. The host, Brother Ou and Peng Mingzhen, the two guests from the last episode, the cameraman, the makeup artist and so on were all present in the room.
Su Yaya was led next to Sun Lei’s seat and sat down.
“Xiao Su, you arrived pretty late.” As soon as Su Yaya sat down, Brother Ou who sat next to her smiled. “We’ll need to give you a penalty drink for that.”
Su Yaya said to him, “Don’t scare me like that, Brother Ou. I can’t take my alcohol very well.”
“People who say that generally have very good tolerance!” Brother Ou laughed.
All the guests at their table laughed along with them.
Sun Lei had also said, “They say women are always better drinkers than men.”
The alcohol was definitely hard to avoid during a gathering. Even if Su Yaya paid much attention to what she took, she still ended up drinking quite a few glasses. In the end, when the atmosphere became warmer, everyone grew more casual with each other.
With more drinks being sent her way, Su Yaya couldn’t refuse them all and ended up with a few more glasses in her belly.
It was a little hot in the room and Su Yaya was starting to feel the buzz. Since she was feeling dizzy, she found an excuse to tell Sun Lei that she was going to the bathroom to get some air.
Su Yaya went into the toilet and stood in front of the washbasin, washing her hands. She looked at herself in the mirror and saw how red her cheeks were. Even the corners of her eyes had turned slightly misty. Clearly, she was nearing her limit. Even though she kept telling herself she would drink less, she didn’t want to be a killjoy when everyone was having so much fun, and she ended up drinking too much.
