Chapter 223: Getting a Whole Bunch Drunk

"I'm really sorry, something happened downstairs just now, which held me up," Mengyao said with a full face of apology. "I apologize to you all and I promise I won't be late again."

"By the way, did you see Liu Zihao? He went downstairs to greet you… Didn't you run into each other?"

"…Yes, we ran into each other."

"Where is he? Why didn't he come up?"

"…He had something to do and left first."

"Left? How could that be?" a group of women asked in surprise.

"Boyfriend?"

"He looks quite ordinary, doesn't he?"

"A fresh flower stuck in cow dung."
