Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Seeing that Director Han Zheng was about to serve the dishes, Chi Hanjing subconsciously felt that something was wrong. Just as she was about to think about it, her attention was attracted by the menu that Han Zheng had stuffed into her hand.

“Perfect. Take a look and see if there’s anything you don’t like to eat or are allergic to.” Han Zheng handed her the menu.

Chi Hanjing looked down at the menu and happened to miss Han Zheng and Boss Qian looking at each other in the air.

From an angle that Chi Hanjing couldn’t see, Boss Qian’s gaze swept across her bare shoulders. It was like some sticky liquid, making one feel indescribably nauseous.

The greedy gaze flashed past and followed her shoulder to the slender curves of her body and legs below.

It was as if he was examining an item. After a few seconds, Boss Qian gave Director Han Zheng a very satisfied look. His other hand eagerly picked up the red wine and took a sip before narrowing his eyes in enjoyment.

It didn’t look like he was enjoying the fragrance of the wine, but like he was savoring an even more graceful touch.

When Han Zheng saw this, he had an idea.

“I don’t have anything to pay attention to.” Chi Hanjing looked up and returned the menu to Han Zheng.

Han Zheng put the menu aside. “Then serve the dishes.”

The dishes had been prepared early in the morning. With Han Zheng’s order, they were methodically sent to the table by the dining cart. Under the light, every color looked very bright and delicious, making one’s appetite rise.

However, this exquisite display didn’t attract the attention of the three people present.

“Young Miss Chi can become the female lead at such a young age. It’s obvious that you have some ability,” Boss Qian said with a smile.

Because the other party was an investor and there was a director sitting beside her, Chi Hanjing couldn’t completely turn cold and not say anything.

She could only smile. “It was also because Director Han Zheng was willing to use me that I got this chance.”

“If you don’t eat the food when it’s served, it won’t be good after it turns cold,” Han Zheng said as he raised his hand to signal the waiter to help pour the wine. “Try the red wine here. It’s famous for being good.”

The waiter understood and stepped forward to slowly pour the wine into everyone’s glasses.

Even though the red wine was fragrant, Chi Hanjing still frowned slightly.

She didn’t like to drink, and her alcohol tolerance was not good.

Moreover-

Seeing that there were no bowls, chopsticks, or cutlery at all, Chi Hanjing gradually realized that something was wrong with this meal today.

…No one else would come.

She realized this at this moment.

What last-minute matters? They would only arrive later? It was all Han Zheng’s one-sided story.

Chi Hanjing gradually clenched her fists under the table. She felt that something was wrong and subconsciously wanted to take out her cell phone to find someone to “save” her. In the end, just as she was about to move, she recalled that before she entered, her cell phone had already been placed in her bag and taken away by the waiter.

This was a scam.

Chi Hanjing’s expression darkened a little. In the next second, she heard Han Zheng’s voice.

“I’ve always thought highly of her. The female lead role this time is just right for her. The opportunity has come.” Han Zheng smiled and chatted with Boss Qian. “Such looks are both outstanding and unique, and it’s easier for the audience to remember her.”

“Indeed.” Boss Qian nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Boss Qian agreed with his words, the smile on Han Zheng’s face widened.

Then, his gaze returned to Chi Hanjing. Seeing that the other party didn’t seem to have any intention of eating, Han Zheng asked.

“Why aren’t you eating?”

These words were like a urging, making Chi Hanjing have no choice but to move.

In the end, as soon as she moved her chopsticks, Chi Hanjing was forced to drink a few glasses of wine.

When she drank, her face would flush easily. After a few glasses, her cheeks were already red from alcohol.

As if it was dyed with rouge, the light shone on Chi Hanjing’s carefully maintained skin from top to bottom, revealing a hint of pink. Even her shoulders were covered in pearly colors. She looked like a beautiful piece of art, making one want to reach out and touch her.

At some point, Boss Qian’s position had also changed from a seat away to beside Chi Hanjing.

Boss Qian and Han Zheng could be said to be two breadcrumbs. With Chi Hanjing in the middle, it was difficult for her to go out.

The door of the private room was tightly closed. It usually wouldn’t be opened unless someone was called over.

At this moment, this sealed space produced a sinful space.

Seeing that Chi Hanjing was gradually getting drunk and her eyes were not as focused as when she first entered, Boss Qian and Han Zheng looked at each other and revealed knowing smiles.

“Young Miss Chi’s face is more than enough to be the female lead.” Boss Qian reached out and hugged Chi Hanjing’s shoulder.

The moment her smooth skin touched him, it made his heart flutter.

His fingers caressed the smooth and tender skin, but he couldn’t help but yearn for more. As Boss Qian spoke casually, his eyes couldn’t help but look past her chest at the ravine in the middle.

Chi Hanjing felt disgusted, but she couldn’t stand up and embarrass the other party. Considering that the other party was an investor, she could only turn around and make a toast gesture, taking the opportunity to shake off the other party’s hand on her shoulder.

“Thank you for praising me like this. Shall I toast you?” Chi Hanjing secretly heaved a sigh of relief after avoiding the disgusting touch.

She already regretted it.

Chi Hanjing’s gaze darted to the door from time to time. Her body was so tense that it revealed the resistance in her heart. Even the fragrant red wine made her want to vomit.

Seeing that he was rejected, Boss Qian was not angry.

He even smiled when he saw that Chi Hanjing was about to toast him.

“Sure, drink.”

One was a boss who had been on the battlefield for a long time, and the other was an artiste who was not good at drinking at all. There was naturally no need to say who was drunk faster.

Watching the scene of the prey struggling to accelerate their death was a different kind of enjoyment for hunters.

One had to know that in order to take down Chi Hanjing today, Boss Qian had also invested a little in the wine.

After a few glasses of wine, Chi Hanjing felt even more dizzy. Even the scene in front of her occasionally showed double vision.

“Ugh…”

She shook her head, but the chaotic feeling intensified.

This time, Boss Qian didn’t even hide it. He reached out and covered the back of Chi Hanjing’s hand, as if he was helping her hold the wine glass.

“Young Miss Chi is drunk?” he asked.

However, he had an ulterior motive. As a man, Boss Qian’s heart had long rippled when he felt the soft and boneless touch of her palm and the blurry beauty in front of him.

He pushed his luck and touched her forearm along the back of her hand. He felt the vitality and youth and beauty under her young flesh, and his eyes revealed a lecherous light.

Chi Hanjing felt the discomfort intensify. “No—”

She struggled and raised her hand, wanting to shake off Boss Qian’s attachment. She resisted the urge to vomit under such circumstances.

At this point, Chi Hanjing stood up and was about to leave when she was nailed to the ground by Han Zheng’s voice.

“Where are you going?” Han Zheng didn’t get up, but his chair was blocking Chi Hanjing’s path.

Chi Hanjing smiled fakely. “I drank too much and need to go to the toilet.”

As long as she could go out and get her cell phone, she would have a chance to escape.

If she stayed here…

Chi Hanjing lowered her eyes and pursed her lips. She no longer dared to imagine what she would encounter if she stayed.

“There’s a toilet in the private room.” However, Han Zheng seemed to have expected this and pointed in a direction..
