Chapter 121
"Brother, I'm the secretary of President Huo . You can't treat me like a child anymore . See the amazing outfit he's wearing tonight? I picked that for him!"
"Go change your own outfit . You look like a shaggy old lady . "
Lin Jingzhi finished what he had to say and left to welcome the other guests .
Lin Yazhi watched him leave and stuck out her tongue at him . She saw Lu Zhaoyang walking away as well, and suddenly felt a chill down her neck .
The president and Sister Zhaoyang look like they get along well, I'm sure nothing will go wrong!
However, she really needed to take her leave . Sorry, Sister Zhaoyang!
Lu Zhaoyang took a tray with a few glasses of drinks on it and followed behind Huo Yunting . Recent news on Thunderbolt Corp had reflected the company negatively, but Huo Yunting remained as the center of attention at this event . Everyone wanted to build connections with him .
He smile charmed his audience . The attention he was getting made it felt like this event was actually his birthday celebration!
Mo Shan stood beside him as his plus-one, but she felt like an outsider .
Lu Zhaoyang stood behind Huo Yunting . The man would turn to her every time he emptied his glass, making her seem like his actual partner .
After some time, Huo Yunting was invited to have a personal conversation with the mayor .
Lu Zhaoyang felt genuingly relieved . Everytime he turned to her for a new glass, he would give her a long, meaningful look that made her deeply uncomfortable .
"Zhaoyang, Brother Yunting is not available now . Come with me!"
Mo Shan said and went to get more drinks .

Hunger overcame Lu Zhaoyang . She began to nibble on some finger food .
Mo Shan returned to her with a drink to replace the one that Huo Yunting snatched away from her . "Brother Yunting took your drink just now, please let me make it up for him . "
"There's no need . " She never would have gotten a glass if Lin Yazhi had not passed her the drink .
"Come now, are you insisting that Brother Yunting apologize to you personally?"
Lu Zhaoyang did not want to argue with her further . She took the drink and finished it in one gulp . Then, she put down the glass and continued eating and ignoring Mo Shan .
The drink…
It felt a little too strong . Why would cider be so potent?

She suspected that her anxiety was getting to her head .
Mo Shan immediately offered another glass to her . "I tried it just now, it tastes wonderful, and definitely something you'd like . Let's have a drink and chat, shall we?"
"There's really no need, Ms Mo . "
That first glass had already made her tipsy . She remembered some online articles mentioning certain drugs used to spike drinks . Her glass of cider was unexpectedly potent .
In fact, she was feeling dizzy already . Most likely, her drink was tampered .
"You're not a waitress for tonight . I'm asking you to drink, so just drink, or do I not even get to ask that from you?"

Mo Shan smiled warmly but seemed to spit venom out of her mouth .
Huo Yunting should really see her like this .
No . If he does, he might not like her anymore .
If he doesn't like her, a divorce from him will become impossible!
Fine, I'll keep this to myself .
That incident with President Gao and her abduction were still fresh in her mind . Was Mo Shan really thinking of doing something similar tonight?
Lu Zhaoyang walked to her side and bent close to her ear to whisper, "Drink more if you like . Perhaps when you're drunk, you'll get the chance . He did say that he's not eager for the marriage . "Please download our sponsor's game to support us!
