《Being A Shrew To My Ex-Husband》Chapter 48: Public Display of Affection
Advertisement
The second round of Su Yan’s birthday celebration was with those from Dragon Emperor Entertainment. Practically all those who had some status in the company had come to the party.
Su Yan felt a surge of warmth in her heart as she looked at the enthusiastic faces of everybody present and listened to the birthday song they sang for her. Truthfully speaking, she didn’t share a close relationship with some of them. Although the scandalous rumors surrounding her and Lin Zhenhui, Hao Chu, and the others were all over the internet, she had yet to add them as friends and contact them in private.
There were only twenty people in the entire private room. Though it wasn’t a big party, it felt much livelier than when they were at The Rich Man. Birthday celebrations were all about the atmosphere. With the right atmosphere, the spirits would naturally be lifted.
Under the expectant gaze of the crowd, Su Yan blew out the candles again. She spent a long time blowing them out as there were too many candles this time. She then gave a toast to everyone before settling down.
Lin Zhenhui was the best at getting the party going. He insisted on having a drinking competition, but in the end, he was the first to lose consciousness. Su Yan shook her head on seeing his behavior. She was expecting him to be a superb drinker but it turned out he was merely an amateur.
Everyone toasted each other and chatted happily, the conversations ranged from gossips in the entertainment industry to work experiences, and even sheer boasting. Su Yan sat alone on one side of the room and sipped her wine, listening quietly to everyone’s conversation. From time to time, some people would join her for a drink, and she never refused anyone’s company.

The second round of celebrations ended at 2:30 am. If it weren’t for the fact that these people were sleepy, they would probably drink until dawn. Su Yan stretched and yawned. After the divorce, she had taken extra care of her health and led a very healthy lifestyle as if she were a senior citizen and had to pay attention to her health. It was the first time she went to bed so late.
Tang Yitong had drunk too much because she was competing with everyone. She would have already crawled under the table if Chai Xingyu wasn’t supporting her. Chai Xingyu pushed Tang Yitong into the passenger seat and said, “President Su, get in the car. I’ll send you back.”
Su Yan smiled faintly and said, “No need. I’ll just take a taxi. This place is not far from my house. Candy drank too much. You should send her back to rest.”
Chai Xingyu glanced at Tang Yitong and said, “It’s alright. Yitong seems to be asleep. It’s a little difficult to take a taxi at this hour. I’ll drop you off first.”
Tang Yitong’s alcohol tolerance was not good and was a complete drunkard. Usually, she would create a big ruckus with her drunken antics. Unexpectedly, she hadn’t made a scene today. Thus, Chai Xingyu felt that it was better to send Su Yan back first.
Ironically, Tang Yitong started to make a scene as soon as he had finished speaking.
“Yan Yan, you are the most beautiful. I love you. Quick, let me hug you…” Tang Yitong said as she pushed the car door open, looking for Su Yan. Chai Xingyu was quick-witted and immediately locked the passenger door.
“Heh, heh, Xingyu, you are my man. Hiccup… Other than me, you cannot like anyone else,” said Tang Yitong with hiccups as she caught sight of Chai Xingyu.

Su Yan was speechless.
Everyone else shared the same thought, “Superstar Tang, you’re done for. You’re publicly flaunting your relationship. Wait till you’re on the headlines with your man tomorrow!”
Chai Xingyu was speechless as he watched Tang Yitong blackout. He shook his head helplessly and thought to himself, “How did I fall in love with such a drunkard?”
Fortunately, the people present were close acquaintances and were aware of the relationship between Tang Yitong and Chai Xingyu. Everyone was in the entertainment industry and had a good relationship with each other, so no one would expose their relationship.
“Hurry up and send her back. I’ll be fine, don’t worry,” Su Yan smiled and said.
Chai Xingyu smiled bitterly and nodded. After fastening Tang Yitong’s seatbelt, he drove away.
Su Yan smiled knowingly as she watched the couple drive off into the distance. She had grown up together with Chai Xingyu, and their relationship was similar to that of brother and sister. If there was a man in the world who did not have improper thoughts about her, it had to be Chai Xingyu. Chai Xingyu had viewed Su Yan as his biological sister, so even if the two of them were alone, Tang Yitong would never think too much about it.
After bidding farewell to the crowd, Su Yan walked alone in the direction of The Rich Man. She had come here in Chai Xingyu’s car, so her car was still parked in The Rich Man’s parking lot..
