Seeing his serious expression and the goblet in his hand, Su Jiu could not refuse him. She braced herself and said, “I can’t drink the entire thing. I’m afraid I’ll get really drunk. A sip is fine.”

Xia Yi’s expression froze for a moment, then he nodded and said, “One mouthful is fine.”

Su Jiu picked up the wine gla.s.s in front of him and immediately separated from his light touch. He was quite distant and polite before he raised his head and took a sip.

After watching her drink, Xia Yi looked up and downed the wine in his gla.s.s. He smiled at her and said, “Look. I drank so much, and you took only a small sip. Actually, it’s fine if you do get drunk. You won’t go back tonight anyway. You can go back to your room and rest for the night.”

Su Jiu could tell that he still wanted her to drink and decisively refused. “No. You can drink more if you can hold your liquor. I can’t, so I’ll drink less.”

Xia Yi wanted to say something, but he couldn’t force her, so he gave up. “Okay, then drink less.”

Su Jiu stopped drinking and took a gla.s.s of orange juice. About an hour later, the wrap party ended, and the director invited everyone to sing karaoke. Many people expressed their desire to go. Su Jiu thought about it and decided not to. She planned to go back to the hotel and have a good night’s rest. She would go home early tomorrow morning.

Seeing that Su Jiu did not respond to the director, Xia Yi quickly asked, “Little Jiu, aren’t you going?”

“No, I’m a little tired. I want to go back and rest. You guys go ahead.”

Disappointment flashed across Xia Yi’s eyes, but he smiled and said, “Then why don’t I send you back? It’s very late now. It’s not safe for you to go back alone.”

Su Jiu thought, I don’t think it’s a good idea for you to take me back, is it?

What if the paparazzi were outside again? If they caught Xia Yi taking her back to the hotel, it would be disastrous. She would have to deal with another round of rumors and sensationalist news, and it would be difficult to defend herself. Anyway, celebrities rarely had any privacy. Most of the time, they lived under the careful eye of others, as if they were being watched.

It was because of her parents and the entire Su family backing her up that the media and marketing accounts did not dare to write anything about her. Otherwise, who knew how much messy news would have spread since she entered the entertainment industry?

Su Jiu declined Xia Yi’s offer. In fact, the restaurant they were eating at was in the hotel where the production team was staying. Returning to one’s room was just a matter of taking the elevator. She did not need anyone to send her off. Xia Yi was just looking for an excuse to be alone with her.

I can’t give him that chance.

When Su Jiu returned to her room, the two bodyguards who had been secretly protecting her walked over and respectfully said to her, “Miss Su, the plane ticket for tomorrow morning has been booked. Rest early and contact us if anything happens.”

Su Jiu nodded. “Okay, I’m fine. You guys get some rest too.”

Once inside, she locked the door. After she was sure it was locked, she stepped inside and lowered herself into the large, soft bed. Spending a few minutes catching her breath, she rose and went to the bathroom.

After a comfortable hot shower, Su Jiu came out of the bathroom and took out her phone to call Rong Si. She told him that she had finished filming and would be back tomorrow.

They chatted for more than half an hour until Su Jiu remembered that it was early morning on his end. She quickly told him to go back to sleep and ended the call.

Su Jiu was a little annoyed. Why didn’t I remember that the time on the little villain’s side is different from the domestic time?

It was silly that he would take her calls no matter how late it was for him. In fact, she wouldn’t have blamed him if he hadn’t.

With that thought in mind, Su Jiu fell asleep.

However, in the middle of the night, in a daze, she heard a slight movement at the door.
