CHAPTER 64

Cheng Xiao reached to drink another glass when her phone went on with a notification, she grabbed her phone and saw a message from Xu Kai.

'Stop drinking!' The message read, she looked at the message and looked up and turned to look at him.

She took the glass ignoring his message and gulped it down. 'I will come over if you don't stop.' The second message came through. 'I dare you to.' She messaged back.

'Dare me? Do you think I don't dare to come in front of you right now?' He sent back.

'Can't you just let me be for tonight?' She sent the message.

'I will but stop drinking.' He sent back, Cheng Xiao was annoyed at this point and didn't want to argue with him any further on.

Xu Kai watched as she drank glass after glass clearly ignoring the warning he gave her. He wanted to go over to stop her, but he also knew she would be unhappy and damage the relationship between them even further. So, he decided to just let her drink.

Three hours passed and everyone at this point was already wasted, they were all drunk. One by one started to say farewell to him and went home. There were still a few people left, and Shen Mu stood up supporting a drunk Cheng Xiao.

Xu Kai also stood up to leave, he walked over to Shen Mu and Cheng Xiao. "Cheng Xiao let's go!" He said and reached to grab her arm, but when she saw him she pushed his hand away.

"Leave me alone!" She said in her drunken state. 

"Mr. Xu we should leave." Chen Si spoke. 

"It's fine, you guys can go home." Xu Kai said and dismissed them. 

"Give her to me." Xu Kai said to Shen Mu who was supporting her. 

"Cheng Xiao, you should go with him." Shen Mu said to Cheng Xiao.

"She is really stressed out." Shen Mu turned and said to Xu Kai.

"It's why she was drinking a lot today." Shen Mu added.

"What is stressing her out?" Xu Kai asked Shen Mu.

"The guy she was seeing Ji Xiting, his mother went on to complain to her mother that she didn't raise her daughter well. Throughout her whole life, her mother had never questioned her until today." Shen Mu explained.

"I know that you have feelings for her, but if you continue to be the way you are doing, you will only further push her away." Shen Mu said, Xu Kai stared at her. 

"I know you are my boss, but at this moment I speak to you as the husband of my best friend and not my boss so, I hope I didn't offend you." Shen Mu spoke.

"It's fine! How can I win her?" He asked.

"For instance, let her be in the designing department. Don't try to make her your secretary again. Cheng Xiao was the best when it came to designing, there wasn't a single competition she didn't win back then." Shen Mu spoke.

"Why did she stay as my secretary for seven years?" He asked, he was always puzzled when it came to this. 

"That is personal, and she will tell you herself when she wants to. I hope you don't break my friend's heart, otherwise I will forget that you are my boss." Shen Mu said and hand Cheng Xiao to Xu Kia.
