WARNING! Tsundere President

“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.”
