Those who played mahjong were all He Jiashan’s friends and knew his personality.

The actions that He Jiashan did to Shen Youran today, they knew what it all meant.

The man who sat on the right side of Shen Youran was good at reading people from their body language. After Shen Youran left, He Jiashan seemed to be worried, so he told the woman who sat beside him. “Follow her.”

That woman, who was wearing a low-cut neckline dress, had just stood up when He Jiashan drank the wine in one gulp and put the cup down on the table. “I will go.”

Shen Youran walked to the washroom while supporting herself against the wall with her hands. He Jiashan left the private lounge and followed up with quick footsteps before helping her.

When they were about to reach the washroom, they bumped into a man who had just walked out of the washroom. The man in a Western suit apologized.

Shen Youran waved her hand in a drunken stupor. “It’s fine.”

The man in a Western suit was Ji Jinchuan’s assistant, Xiao Cheng. Xiao Cheng found her voice a little familiar and glanced at her before glancing at He Jiashan, who was holding her in his arms.

He Jiashan unhappily shouted, “What are you looking at?!” After that, he helped Shen Youran into the washroom.

Xiao Cheng returned to the private lounge and leaned down beside Ji Jinchuan’s ear before whispering to him. Ji Jinchuan stopped touching the mahjong tiles but maintained an indiscernible gaze.

After a long while, he said, “Call Gu Jinchen.”

After Shen Youran entered the washroom, she called Qiu Shaoze and told him that her mission had yet to be accomplished. Thus, she had to press on, and she told him to wait for her in ease to reassure him.

At that moment, Gu Jinchen, who was working overtime in the company, received Xiao Cheng’s call and thereafter called Shen Youran continuously.

However, her number was busy. He swiftly turned his computer off and took his coat before leaving the office.

At the passageway outside the washroom, He Jiashan leaned against the wall and played with a lighter. Shen Youran had been in the washroom for over ten minutes, and he started to get frustrated from waiting.

Just when he was about to shout for a waiter to rush her, Shen Youran staggered out of the washroom.

She washed her face and immediately turned sober as she took a tissue from the tissue box and wiped the water on her face.

He Jiashan placed his hand around her waist and leaned into her ear before sniffing her hair with an intoxicated expression.

“You have played enough, so let’s take our leave first, okay?”

Shen Youran walked to the side and threw the tissue into the trash bin before prying his hand away. “I haven’t played enough, let’s go back and continue.”

He Jiashan furrowed his brows and seemed to have gotten angry, but he tolerated it in the end as he was determined to get the woman in front of him.

The two people returned to the private lounge, where another woman was playing in her stead. As the woman saw Shen Youran coming back, she stood up and prepared to give way to her.

Yet Shen Youran waved her hand and walked over to the sofa, pulling He Jiashan along to play finger games.

He Jiashan was not in his best mood and took a bottle of wine with two glasses before pouring both cups full of wine. “What’s the use of just playing? The loser must drink.”

“Sure,” Shen Youran replied very swiftly.

She was very good at playing finger games and wanted to make He Jiashan spill the beans after making him drunk. But she was unlucky today and kept losing. She regretted not looking at her almanac before going out today.

After He Jiashan poured the wine, he passed the glass to her. She shook her head, but He Jiashan pinched her chin with his fingers and forcefully poured the drink down her throat.

As he saw her become completely drunk, he bid goodbye to the rest and prepared to leave with her.

The door of the private lounge was suddenly opened and everyone looked toward the door.

The person scanned the private lounge before his gaze landed on Shen Youran, who lay on the sofa. He walked toward her with large steps and stood in front of her.
