Summer Kiss

Chapter 60 Drunk
Jiang Yuning was startled. How could Meng Shuyu be so good at guessing? She guessed right away.

She suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, but she still managed to withstand Meng Shuyu's probing gaze.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Meng Shuyu, do I look like the kind of person who would rather not work than be in a relationship?"

Meng Shuyu shook her head. In her memory, Jiang Yuning had always been very dedicated, and she would even come to work when she had a fever.

Jiang Yuning interrupted Meng Shuyu's thoughts, "Stop overthinking. You won't believe me even if I tell you the truth. I'm going to work now."

Jiang Yuning returned to her office and began working diligently.

Meng Shuyu stood still for a moment, and seeing Jiang Yuning working so diligently, she was a little puzzled. Could it be that there was really something wrong with her ears?

Instead of letting her mind wander, she focused on her work, thinking that one day she would catch Jiang Yuning in the act.

Jiang Yuning glanced at Meng Shuyu out of the corner of her eye. She quietly took out her phone and saw that Fu Xicheng had sent her many messages.

She read through all the messages one by one and smiled.

She wasn't angry with Fu Xicheng; on the contrary, she felt happy being with him.

Remembering that Fu Xicheng had licked her palm earlier, she didn't stand on ceremony and decided to accept the money transfer from him.

After receiving the transfer, Jiang Yuning realized that Fu Xicheng was having an increasingly significant influence on her.

Standing in front of Fu Xicheng, she could feel the flutter in her heart; she realized that she had fallen in love with him.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuning immediately turned off her phone and began to look through the client's information.

……

In the evening, the design department director organized a dinner party at the Mingyue Hotel.

Inside a private room on the third floor, the design department staff sat around a round table, chatting and laughing.

The design director coughed a few times, raised his glass, and said cheerfully, "Everyone has done a great job this month. Tonight it's on me, everyone enjoy yourselves."

Everyone raised their glasses and cheered.

Jiang Yuning sat next to Meng Shuyu, and the two of them whispered to each other.

For some reason, Jiang Yuning chuckled softly.

Just then, Lin Yao suddenly steered the conversation toward Jiang Yuning.

"Jiang Yuning, I heard you recently got a boyfriend, but I haven't seen you post about him on social media or introduce him to everyone."

Jiang Yuning seemed to have gotten used to Lin Yao's sarcastic voice; she had spoken to Qin Susu in the same way before.

Even if they don't get along, with the director sitting there, Jiang Yuning still has to put on a show. She can't let Lin Yao find any fault with her.

Jiang Yuning smiled faintly, "I do have a boyfriend, but he's too handsome, I don't dare to bring him out at all."

Not receiving a satisfactory answer, a hint of displeasure flashed in Lin Yao's eyes, but she quickly concealed it.

No matter what, she was determined to drag Jiang Yuning down with her today, and she was determined to make her look bad.

Lin Yao swirled the wine in her glass and said in a low voice, "Really? I heard from Su Su that your boyfriend is much older than you. But that's good, older men are more likely to be caring."

Sitting next to Lin Yao, Chen Yihua interjected, "Sigh, it's not really Jiang Yuning's fault. It's quite puzzling that young girls these days like older men."

"Yeah, I didn't expect Jiang Yuning to have a boyfriend like this. In short, there are pros and cons." The atmosphere in the private room suddenly froze a bit, and everyone lowered their heads to eat.

Jiang Yuning stared intently at Lin Yao. Was she trying to stir up trouble again?
She said calmly, "Lin Yao, you've never even met my boyfriend, yet you're spouting nonsense. You're really something."

Lin Yao put down her chopsticks, looking displeased. "Su Su told me that before."

Qin Susu didn't tell a single truth. I don't know how Lin Yao's brain works. How could she believe such things?
"Lin Yao, to be honest, I have to admire you. Qin Susu told you to get lost, but you still spoke up for her. I can't help but admire you."

Lin Yao was furious. So what if Qin Susu told her to get lost that day? She did this entirely because she was angered by Jiang Yuning.

She and Qin Susu had been best friends for several years, how could she not know her character?
She didn't want to bring up the past. "Jiang Yuning, shut up."

Jiang Yuning, however, did not want to do as she wished. Lin Yao said things she did not like to hear, so why should she endure it?

"You were the one who brought this up, so how can you blame me? Lin Yao, if anyone should shut up, it should be you."

Just as the situation became extremely awkward, a deep and elegant voice came from outside the door.

"Jiang Yuning".

Jiang Yuning heard a familiar voice. She turned her head and saw the man standing at the door. Her eyes were filled with surprise and delight. "Fu Xicheng, what are you doing here?"

Fu Xicheng smiled and glanced at everyone in the private room. He then naturally took Jiang Yuning's hand.

"I was just passing by the door when I overheard someone say that I'm old and caring. I wanted to see which lady was thinking of me so much."

Lin Yao's expression changed. When she saw Fu Xicheng's handsome appearance, she felt a mix of emotions. How could Jiang Yuning have such a handsome boyfriend?
She was slapped in the face by reality, and she lowered her head in embarrassment, remaining silent.

Fu Xicheng's appearance undoubtedly solved Jiang Yuning's thorny problem.

His eyes were gentle. "You have a good chat and dinner with your colleagues. I'll be in the next private room. I'll take you home after you finish eating."

Jiang Yuning nodded and readily agreed.

After being proven wrong, Lin Yao never caused any more trouble.

Jiang Yuning and Meng Shuyu continued chatting. She was in a good mood and drank a few more glasses of red wine.

Under the influence of alcohol, Jiang Yuning's cheeks flushed, and soon she leaned on Meng Shuyu's shoulder in a daze.

Meng Shuyu had also drunk a little wine. She patted Jiang Yuning's hand and said, "Don't sleep on my shoulder. If you want to sleep, sleep on your Mr. Fu's shoulder."

Jiang Yuning's eyes were glazed over. She felt quite drunk and didn't even have the strength to take out her phone to send a WeChat message.

Her voice was hoarse, "Could you call him over for me?"

Meng Shuyu sighed and shook her head helplessly. "Jiang Yuning, you dare to drink so much if you can't hold your liquor. Aren't you afraid of having a headache tomorrow morning?"

Jiang Yuning didn't seem worried about that. Tomorrow was the weekend, so a headache didn't matter; she could just rest at home all day.

Meng Shuyu helped Jiang Yuning lean her head back in the chair and then walked out of the private room.

She leaned against the wall, walked to the next private room, and the next second, she pushed open the door.

Xie Linzhou was startled when he saw a familiar woman suddenly appear at the door of the private room. He turned around and covered his face.

Meng Shuyu rubbed her eyes hard with her hands, and finally found Fu Xicheng among the group of people.
