Although he didn’t say it, it was obvious from his expression.

That shouldn’t be the case. If it was so obvious, Cheng Gang would know. Qin Pan was puzzled.

In order to pretend to be drunk, she had really drunk a lot of alcohol. Although she was not drunk and her mind was still clear, she knew that she had drunk a little too much.

“Thank you for just now.” Qin Pan knew that although she was conscious, she was still dizzy. If Cheng Gang kept pestering her, it would be very troublesome. “If it wasn’t for you, the consequences would have been hard to deal with.”

In the end, she might have to pretend to be drunk and beat him up to end it.

“If you know the consequences, why did you still get yourself drunk?” For some reason, Xi Ce’s expression turned cold. “Aren’t you asking for it?”

“I…” Qin Pan lowered her head. “It’s not time yet.”

He understood what she meant. After a moment of silence, he said calmly, “Bad strategy.”

How could Qin Pan not know that this was a bad strategy? It was just that there were some things Xi Ce didn’t know. He only knew that the scumbag betrayed her and didn’t know that she had experienced more than this in her previous life.

“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s change the topic.” Qin Pan took the initiative to change the topic. “You were preparing to go out just now?”

Downstairs, Cheng Gang was annoyed by Qin Yajuan. His mind was filled with the drunk Qin Pan.

“Brother Cheng, can you accompany me?” Qin Yajuan saw that he only wanted to go upstairs and hence kept acting cute, wanting to stop him. “Let’s go for a walk, okay?”

For some reason, Qin Yajuan didn’t want Cheng Gang to go up and see Qin Pan.

“Baby, be good. I have serious matters to attend to. Stop fooling around, alright?” Cheng Gang was already very patient and his tone was impatient. “I know you understand me, right? Next time, I’ll find a time to accompany you properly.”

He knew how possessive women could be, but he felt a little annoyed.

Then, he pulled his hand away and walked upstairs, ignoring Qin Yajuan’s urging.

“Pan’er, open the door, okay?” Cheng Gang was stopped outside the door. “Brother Cheng wants to check if you are feeling better. Are you still feeling unwell?”

However, no one in the room answered him. Cheng Gang’s face was dark. The two of them were alone in the same room and Qin Pan was drunk. That man’s face was so sexy and now, inside…

When he thought about how another man got his way with Qin Pan, he got angry and didn’t want anyone to interrupt his plan. Cheng Gang gritted his teeth and knocked on the door a few times. However, no one opened the door and no one answered.

Cheng Gang kicked the door open and rushed in. “Xi Ce, what are you doing? Pan’er is drunk. Are you bullying her?”

Cheng Gang, who had rushed into the room, saw the two of them sitting a distance away from each other on the couch and chatting. He instantly felt extremely awkward and stuttered as he explained, “Pan’er, no one opened when I knocked on the door. I only barged in because I was worried something had happened to you. Don’t be angry, okay?”

“Yes, I know you’re worried about me.” Qin Pan expressed her understanding and said lightly, “But you scared me.”

“Listen to me, I’m just really worried about you.” Cheng Gang felt a bone-piercing chill as a pair of cold eyes landed on him. This made him even more frightened. “Young Master Xi, it’s a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. I’m really just worried that Pan’er will get drunk and throw up all over you. I’m worried that she’ll make a fuss, I…”

“Get out, I want to rest.” Qin Pan’s voice turned cold.

Cheng Gang nodded with an awkward expression. “I’ll get going first. I’ll come visit you another day.”

Today’s matter was completely hopeless. Cheng Gang left with a gray face under Xi Ce’s murderous gaze. He was extremely frustrated. He didn’t manage to get hold of Qin Pan, and had even offended Xi Ce. The losses outweighed the gains.

After Cheng Gang left, Xi Ce stood up and glanced at the person on the couch before turning to leave.

“I’ll look for you tonight.” Qin Pan said quickly behind him.

Xi Ce didn’t respond, but his heart paused for a moment.

After everyone had left, Qin Pan gently massaged her temples. The alcohol had kicked in and she didn’t expect it to be so strong.

Initially, she wanted to check on Xi Ce’s health. However, her body was not allowing her to do so. She decided to rest for a while and check on him at night..
