Ning Xiaofei knew that Mu Tianye was hinting she didn't need to pay attention to the situation, so she responded with an acknowledgement and reached out to peel a shrimp in her hand.
Pei Ruoxi stood to the side, her face coloring with embarrassment. No one paid attention to her apology—how could she continue?
Ji Mo noticed that Mu Tianye was not pleased, so he immediately stood up, took a wine glass from the nearby shelf, and presented it to Pei Ruoxi.
"Today is hosted by Mr. Mu, and you've arrived late. Have a drink to show respect!"
Assistant Director Chen Liang, not knowing the full story but sensing hidden implications due to his experience, hurriedly grabbed a bottle and poured a glass of wine for Pei Ruoxi.
"Mr. Mu, I'll take a drink as a self-punishment!"
Bending her head back, Pei Ruoxi drained the beer from her glass in one gulp.
At the head of the table, the man didn't even lift his eyelids.
Pei Ruoxi bit her lip and tried to force a smile on her face.
