The group turned on the KTV and played around for a while. The luxury hotel indeed offered premium services, providing plenty of fruit plates, snacks, and drinks during the time.

The colleagues were singing and chatting. Although Shi Nuan was the host today, she really didn’t know how to entertain them; besides, the staff had taken care of everything that needed attention.

Some colleagues dragged her to sing, but she said she couldn’t. Lv Nan Nan confirmed it: "Nuannuan really doesn’t sing much!"

Everyone felt a bit disappointed, but didn’t push further. Lv Nan Nan wasn’t much of a singer either. During dorm gatherings, it was usually Ou Xiaoning and He Meisui who made a fuss.

Shi Nuan and Lv Nan Nan were more of the listening types. Fortunately, back then, Song Yichuan would also be around, and to be honest, Song Yichuan sang quite well.

He didn’t sing intense music but preferred light humming and slow singing that could calm people down.

Actually, Song Yichuan played bass during university and even sang with Shen Zui. However, after Shen Zui left, Shi Nuan hadn’t seen him play again.

He would only occasionally sing a few songs at the KTV.

Those were past events, but recalling them brought silence and sadness.

Shi Nuan didn’t sing, and her colleagues didn’t force her either. They just enjoyed themselves with so many people around, most of whom were quite outgoing, keeping the atmosphere lively.

Shi Nuan drank some beverages and stood by the window. The view outside was excellent, and she could also see the TK Group building not far to the left.

This building was indeed too striking, as it was the emblematic structure of the city!

T City, TK—its emergence had signified what it would become in the future.

Shi Nuan suddenly recalled that Song Yansheng once mentioned his interest in architecture. She wondered whether he had participated in designing the TK building or if it was his own design?

Thinking of this, Shi Nuan wondered if she was being a bit crazy, because now she seemed to frequently think of Song Yansheng. This man not only occupied her life but her thoughts as well.

All of them.

She couldn’t help but wonder whether Song Yansheng had gone home early, or was working overtime waiting for her?

Or perhaps he had accepted a social engagement he hadn’t planned to, and was out socializing?

Earlier, she had texted him, but his reply was slow. Shi Nuan thought the likelihood of him socializing was high!

This might be good this way because she felt there was little chance Song Yansheng would go home, working overtime was too tiring, and socializing...

Socializing should be better, right!

The colleagues only really started their meal around 6:20.

The dishes had been pre-ordered by Song Yansheng and were served directly. There were many options, each looking exquisite, and naturally, they tasted great as well.

The colleagues were very satisfied with the meal. Naturally, since it was a celebration, drinking was inevitable.

Song Yansheng had prepared red wine for everyone—a genuine 1982 French red dry wine, which made the colleagues feel flattered, so much so that they dared not drink too much.

Later, a few gentlemen suggested drinking some ice beer, and the staff promptly delivered it. The beer tasted good and didn’t look cheap either.

But it was certainly cheaper than the ’82 French red dry wine, so everyone drank freely. Shi Nuan could handle wine well, but her tolerance for white wine and beer wasn’t as good. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The colleagues playfully coaxed her into drinking two or three cups, but after all, she was a young girl and the daughter of the CEO, so everyone was careful not to go overboard.
