Pei Muni looked at Xi Zhiwei, her face sincere, her tone soft and conciliatory. Pei Muni thought of his good brother Xi Zhiqian and finally softened. He picked up the red wine on the table and clinked glasses with Xi Zhiwei, drinking it all in one gulp.

  Xi Zhi Wei's eyebrows and eyes curved into a smile, she tilted her head back, downed the drink in one gulp, then picked up the wine and continued to refill the two cups.

  Pei Muniang was down in the dumps because of Su Wanwan, and his mood had been low for a long time. Xi Zhiwei almost didn't need to say anything, he just kept drinking one cup after another. Xi Zhiwei's soft voice advised him to drink less, but her hands were constantly pouring wine for Pei Muniang.

  Suddenly, Xi Zhiwei's phone rang.

  Xi Zhiwei didn't want to bother at first, but tonight was a rare opportunity, and no matter who it was, they shouldn't come to disturb her.

  But the phone kept ringing, even after it automatically hung up, and continued ringing again the next second.

  Pei Muni's action of drinking wine paused, and he glanced at Xi Zhiwei, "Not going to toast?"

  "Mo Nian Ge, it's rare for you to have dinner with me. I think there shouldn't be anything important, so let's just forget about it."

  Xizhi Wei took out her phone from her bag and directly hung up. Just as she was about to turn it off, the phone rang again quickly.

  "Better answer it," Pei Mu Nian said faintly, "it's ringing so urgently, it must be an important matter."

  "Alright, I'll listen to you."

  Xi Zhiwei lowered her eyelids, somewhat dissatisfied, and pressed the receive button heavily. Her voice was still soft, but her tone had already turned slightly unpleasant, "Lijie, what's up? I'm eating right now."

  Lijie's voice on the other end was extremely anxious and serious, "Weiwei, are you in the Imperial Palace now?"

  Xi Zhiwei didn't expect Lijie to know she was in Huang Chao, and asked in surprise: "How did you know?"

  "So you're really having dinner with a married man? Don't you know, reporters are already waiting at the entrance of the Imperial Court, ready to take pictures of you flirting with a married man. The scandal from last time hasn't even subsided yet, and now you're causing another stir! Do you still want to make it in the entertainment industry?" Lijia's voice suddenly rose several decibels.

  Xi Zhiwei was scolded inexplicably, "What's a married man? What's a reporter? I'm just having dinner with Muniang!"

  "Are you referring to CEO Pae, Mo-yeon?"

  "Yes, I was having dinner with my brother, where did you hear about some husband of someone else's wife?"

  "But the message I received is that you're having an affair with a married man, and whether it's the married man or CEO Pei, you won't be able to eat this meal anyway. I've already sent someone to pick you up, so keep a low profile and leave through the back door of the Imperial Palace, as the front door is already swarmed with reporters."

  Xi Zhiwei's face turned even uglier as she listened to Li Jie making decisions for her, she didn't dare to lose her temper in front of Pei Muxuan, so she made a slight gesture towards him and then got up and walked towards the restroom.

  As soon as she walked into the bathroom and closed the door, her tone completely cooled down. "What's the reason for not letting me have dinner with Mu Nian? Now even eating a meal, reporters can randomly accuse me of seducing someone else's husband? And where did these reporters come from anyway? I didn't see any when I came in."

  "Vivian, I'm your agent, and no matter what you do, it's all for your own good. Although Mr. Pei is not married, he was previously rumored to have spent a night with Su Wanwan, and you were also rumored to be at odds with her before. The controversy hasn't even died down yet, and now if news breaks out that you're having dinner with Mr. Pei and being intimate, what do you think the reporters will write about you?"
