At this moment, Xia Xue was also quite tipsy. Ever since the Wang Family proposed an engagement with the Xia Family, Xia Xue hadn’t been in a good mood. It’s rare to have an occasion like today to fully release the pressure in her heart, and since it’s her good friend Sun Min’s birthday party, she inevitably drank a little more. Liu Xuan’s drinking capacity was even worse than Xia Xue’s and right now she couldn’t drink anymore. She was resting on the sofa, but this was what’s nice about Liu Xuan - she loved to drink, but once she reached the point of being almost drunk, she’d obediently sit aside to preserve her last bit of sanity.

As the main character of this gathering, Sun Min naturally drank quite a bit. Fortunately, both she and her boyfriend could hold their drinks pretty well, and by now, they’re only slightly buzzed, still maintaining the appropriate etiquette as the birthday star.

Xia Xue intended to rest with Liu Xuan for a while, but then two or three friends came over, somewhat tipsy, saying, "Xia Xue, we haven’t clinked glasses with you tonight. How long has it been since you came out to play? Tonight, we won’t stop until we’re drunk!"

But Xia Xue didn’t refuse anyone, looking at the three in front of her with drunken eyes. One was the heiress of Longsheng Real Estate, another was the daughter of the director of the Yanjing Development and Reform Commission, and the last one was the heiress of a local supermarket chain. They were all acquaintances of Xia Xue, often meeting at parties, and were straightforward people, without much intrigue.

"Come on, Qina, with your drinking capacity, I’m not scared of you!" Xia Xue said straightforwardly, taking the red wine offered by Qina and finishing it in one go.

Qina and the other two heiresses were not to be left behind, and soon, the four of them, already quite drunk, started playing drinking games, attracting quite a bit of attention.

After a few rounds, even Liu Xuan, who was resting on the side, couldn’t resist their madness and joined the game. The five women were playing happily together.

The first to admit defeat was the heiress of the chain supermarket. She lay down beside Qina and didn’t want to get up. Qina then pushed her straight onto the sofa and continued the game.

Xia Xue started to feel her eyelids getting heavier and a little bit warm inside. This situation had happened before after she drank over ninety percent and vomited one or two times, at which point she sometimes didn’t remember anything.

Luckily, Xia Xue had only reached seven-tenths of her limit. She still had some reasoning, but her eyelids kept drooping as if she wanted to sleep. She didn’t think much of it, drank the last sip of red wine, and quickly admitted defeat, saying: "I can’t take it anymore, if I drink any more, I might pass out right here. I’m going to the bathroom first!"

Qina didn’t stop her, smiling charmingly: "Xia Xue, can’t handle it anymore, can you? I told you, you can’t outdrink me!" After saying this, she burped, causing Liu Xuan to choke, saying, "Qina, your drinking capacity isn’t that great either, come on, let’s continue!"

Meanwhile, Qu Haobo had been standing not far away observing Xia Xue. Seeing that Xia Xue was already stumbling, Qu Haobo knew the situation was about right. At this point, Xia Xue didn’t have much awareness left, and whatever was left would be eroded by the alcohol.

Then, Qu Haobo, intentionally or unintentionally, moved in the direction of Xia Xue, stopping occasionally to chat with the women clinking glasses with him. No one could guess what Qu Haobo had in mind, and after all, it wasn’t a secret in the circle that Qu Haobo was pursuing Xia Xue. When he approached Xia Xue, others didn’t find it strange.

Just then, Xia Xue stumbled and almost fell to the ground. She was only two or three meters away from Qu Haobo, which made Qu Haobo delighted, as if a pillow had been sent to someone sleepy. He was still thinking about how to approach Xia Xue.

Qu Haobo quickly stepped forward and caught Xia Xue, displaying a gentlemanly demeanor that was beyond reproach in the eyes of others.

"Xia Xue, you’ve had too much to drink, let me help you rest for a while!" Qu Haobo suppressed his excitement, taking Xia Xue’s hand and placing it on his shoulder, then supporting Xia Xue.

At this moment, Xia Xue had little awareness left and couldn’t imagine Qu Haobo daring to do anything to her in such an event. What’s more, it wasn’t the first time Qu Haobo had supported her like this, so she didn’t reject his concern, allowing Qu Haobo to lead her to a private room.

Qu Haobo was leading Xia Xue to the room, keeping his hand appropriately on her slim waist, making Qu Haobo the epitome of elegance in the eyes of others. Seeing him supporting Xia Xue, some women even showed envious glances.

Qu Haobo was quite the handsome type, and along with his decent status, it naturally caught the eyes of many women.

As Qu Haobo relaxed, Xia Xue was starting to drift towards unconsciousness. Suddenly, Xia Xue lost her balance, and Qu Haobo, caught off guard because he had already relaxed, didn’t expect Xia Xue to lose her balance at this moment and fall onto the sofa.

Qu Haobo’s mind was racing, delighted internally, and he went along with Xia Xue, falling onto the sofa with her.
