After the banquet ended, Li Xiaoyang left the hall, clinging to Chen Jincheng. But just as she stepped out, she stumbled and nearly fell.
Chen Jincheng's reflexes were quick, and he caught her.
She immediately went limp in his arms, looking completely drunk.
But Chen Jincheng clearly saw her trembling eyelashes. It meant she was nervous, and she was faking it.
This made him chuckle.
'Interesting.'
He let the girl lean against him.
Once they were in the elevator and saw they were alone, he leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Do you have any idea what it means for a woman to pretend to be drunk in front of a man?"
At his words, he clearly felt the girl's body stiffen. She was obviously even more nervous now.
But she kept her eyes squeezed shut, continuing the act.
She was still riding the emotional high from the day. She knew what she wanted now. Having been the swan high above the rest, she had no desire to go back to being an ugly duckling.
