Everyone at the table looked at him .
Xuxu was getting anxious and she prodded Yan Rusheng’s thigh to remind him that they were at an official event .
Yan Rusheng nodded at Zhao Zheng . “Sure . ”
He raised his glass towards Zhao Zheng .
Zhao Sheng stood while Yan Rusheng settled himself comfortably against his chair . He appeared haughty from the way he glanced at Zhao Zheng .
But this made Xuxu heave a sigh of relief .
Teacher Zhao was present too, and he was really nice to her . She had to consider his feelings, too .
Zhao Zheng smiled and raised his glass to toast Yan Rusheng . Their glasses chinked, making a pleasant sound .

When he shared a toast with Yan Rusheng, he deliberately placed his glass higher .
Yan Rusheng and Xuxu were observant people and they noticed it . Both grinned in amusement .
Bai Jing, who was sitting beside Su Yue, was on tenterhooks as she watched Yan Rusheng and Zhao Zheng toasting each other . She clenched her fists under the table .
She was really nervous .
Yan Rusheng’s slightly flushed face, his sparkling eyes, his gorgeous-looking face, were all making her heart thump .
Her heart would seem to leap out of her chest at any moment .
Who wouldn’t want a man like him?
Bai Jing’s eyes landed on Zhao Zheng as she waited in anticipation .

Zhao Zheng stole a glance at Bai Jing and a malicious gleam flashed across his eyes . He didn’t hesitate and instead gulped down the entire glass .
He didn’t want to waste time on Zhao Zheng, so Yan Rusheng planned to finish his entire glass too .
If he merely took a sip, Zhao Zheng would seize this opportunity and make an issue .
He knew that Xuxu respected all the teachers inside the room, especially that some of them had been very nice to her .
“What’s wrong?”
“Why is there a blackout?”
Yan Rusheng was about to drink when darkness enveloped the room .
When the lights went off, the room went pitch-dark .
A slight commotion began in the room since everyone was in a panic .
“Ah Sheng . ” Xuxu instinctively stretched her hand to grab Yan Rusheng .
Before Yan Rusheng could respond, the lights came back once more .
All the faces in the room still appeared to be either frightened or shocked .
Amidst the whispers, they heard knocking sounds .
The hotel manager walked in with an apologetic expression as he bowed to everyone . “I’m terribly sorry . Our electrical wires had a slight malfunction and it caused inconvenience to everyone . My apologies once more . ”
He was trying to convey that it was an accident .
Nobody made a fuss and everyone sat down once more . They continued to eat, drink, and chat .
Yan Rusheng was still clutching Xuxu’s wrist . When it went dark earlier on, he placed his wineglass on the table instantly .
Zhao Zheng was still standing beside him . “Yan Rusheng, you haven’t finished your drink…”
Yan Rusheng immediately gulped down the entire glass before putting it down . He didn’t even throw a glance at Zhao Zheng .
Zhao Zheng smirked when he saw Yan Rusheng finished the entire glass .
He said nothing and turned around, after which he stole a furtive glance at Bai Jing .
