As soon as Shen Zhilin walked out, he happened to bump into Xiao Yizhou who was walking towards him.
"What happened? You don't look good."
As he spoke, he glanced in the direction of the bathroom, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.
Shen Zhilin immediately waved his hand and said: "It's okay, I just drank too much. Let's go there quickly. Don't keep the guests waiting."
Xiao Yizhou: "..."
If he remembers correctly, he is also a guest, right?
There is no need for him to entertain guests.
"You shouldn't be hiding anything from me, right?" Xiao Yizhou asked suspiciously.
Shen Zhilin hurriedly denied: "How could it be! Come over quickly, grandpa said that Minister Lei will be here soon."
Xiao Yizhou curiously glanced in the direction of the bathroom behind him, but saw nothing, so he simply put the matter behind him.
In the bathroom, Huo Yuting held Su Ci's slender and soft waist and wanted to continue the kiss just now.
However, as soon as he leaned down, Su Ci turned her head and avoided it.
"Didn't you just say that the door was closed?"
Su Ci's cheeks were flushed, and her mind was filled with the scene where she and Huo Yuting were caught kissing just now.
Whenever she thought about it, she wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
Guessing what Su Ci was thinking, Huo Yuting chuckled and explained: "It was an accident just now. No one will come here now."
Su Ci: "..."
I believe you as a ghost!
"Okay, it's time to go out. There are many guests waiting outside, and the cake will be cut later."
Su Ci put her hands on the man's shoulders and helped him jump off the sink.
Huo Yuting was afraid that she would fall, so he hugged her waist with quick eyes and hands, "Be careful, you dare to jump down when you are still wearing high heels."
"Aren't you here?" Su Ci waved her hands nonchalantly, and the small pear dimples on both sides of her cheeks spread slightly.
Huo Yuting's heart seemed to have been stabbed hard by something, and it suddenly softened.
He curved his lips, kissed the corner of Su Ci's lips, and then took her hand and left the bathroom.
Minister Lei has arrived and is chatting with Mr. Shen in the hall.
The two had never met before, but they chatted happily.
"Mr. Shen, you are so lucky. The second young lady really helped me a lot this time."
"That's right. We, Ci Ci, are ignorant, so why are we still making demands of you?" Although he said this, Mr. Shen couldn't stop the smile on his face.
Minister Lei waved his hand and said: "Sir, you're welcome. It's right for her to make the request. And if it weren't for her, we wouldn't know any more information about that illegal organization."
Hearing Minister Lei mention that organization, Mr. Shen's eyes flashed with light.
He asked: "Has that organization been found now? If they continue to be at large, there will definitely be more victims."
Minister Lei sighed deeply, "How can it be that simple? Since they have been able to lurk in China for so many years, it means they are hidden very deep."
Now it is even connected with country C.
Whether that group of people can be caught in the end remains to be seen.
Sensing the change in Minister Lei's expression, Mr. Shen nodded secretly and did not continue to ask further questions.
"Minister Lei, you are so busy and you still have time to come over?"
Su Ci came out of the bathroom and saw Minister Lei.
She walked over holding Huo Yuting's hand, with a polite smile on her lips.
As for the person she was holding, his face was a little gloomy.
With a look of dissatisfaction, looking at Su Ci, her eyes were full of resentment.
Su Ci quietly squeezed his palm and comforted him silently.
When Minister Lei saw Su Ci appear, he immediately smiled and said, "I heard you have a birthday today, so I stopped by to have a look."
"Can you please make a trip?"
"No trouble, you should. You helped me a lot. I am here today to represent not only myself, but also our entire department."
Mr. Shen and Shen Zhilin, who were listening to the conversation between the two, were confused.
But both of them were very wise and did not ask.
Minister Lei still had a lot of work to do, so he left soon.
After he left, Mr. Shen looked at Su Ci in confusion: "Minister Lei said, what does it mean to send you congratulations on behalf of the entire department?"
"I made a small deal with Minister Lei. Maybe he said this because he felt pity." Su Ci replied with a smile.
It was not until two o'clock in the middle of the night that the guests all left one after another.
Mr. Shen, leaning on crutches, suppressed his sleepiness and sent the last guest away.
When only the family members were left, Mr. Shen's eyelids suddenly drooped.
"I can't stand it anymore. I really can't hold it anymore! You young people can really stand it. I have to go up and rest."
The housekeeper sighed helplessly, "Old man, who said that he had enough energy before?"
As early as ten o'clock in the evening, he persuaded Mr. Shen to go up and rest.
Because the old man goes to bed at this time every day.
But today, for some reason, the old man just refused to go up.
He said that today was a good day and he was very happy and insisted on sitting downstairs until the end.
Now that I'm so trapped, I don't know what to do.
Mr. Shen yawned and said dissatisfiedly: "I already have energy, but I can't compare with anyone else. I can't compare with A-Lin and A-Yan."
He was clearly competing with Mr. Ruan and Mr. Liang. They refused to leave, and he refused to admit defeat.
Even at such an old age, the competitive spirit is still so strong.
Shen Zhilin and Huo Yuting looked at each other, their eyes full of helplessness.
After the old man left, Huo Yuting looked around and asked, "Where is Cici?"
Shen Zhilin was stunned, "It seemed like she was drinking with her group of little sisters just now. You go to the dessert area and have a look."
Huo Yuting strode towards the dessert area, "Ci Ci? Su Ci?"
On the sofa in the dessert area, Su Ci was sitting upright, motionless, and extremely well-behaved.
She lowered her head and placed her hands on her thighs, holding the hem of her skirt in one hand and holding a goblet in the other.
There was an unfinished sip of red wine left in the transparent glass.
Her long, slightly curly hair was spread over her shoulders, covering most of her face, so Huo Yuting didn't see her expression clearly at first.
When he got closer, he realized that the little girl's eyes were slightly squinted, filled with misty drunkenness.
Huo Yuting squatted down and got close to her face, trying to see what she looked like at this moment.
"Corcelain?"
He called him again, but Su Ci still didn't respond.
Huo Yuting couldn't help but chuckle, stretched out his knuckled fingers to lift up Su Ci's chin, and slowly moved closer.
"Drunk?"
Su Ci then reacted and raised her drunken eyes to look at the man in front of her.
"I'm not drunk." She pursed her lips in dissatisfaction.
"You little drunkard, you still don't admit it."
Huo Yuting raised his hand and rubbed the top of her hair, and the smile in his eyes deepened, "Only a drunk person can say that he is not drunk."
