Zhou Liying was enjoying the night very much. After a long time, she had found some free to spend with her friends.
Otherwise, for the last few days or we could say months, she was extremely busy: with her business, her grandfather's death, and the threat to her life or Mu Yuehan.
She laughed from time to time upon listening to the happenings in other's life. Tang Ying shared many funny incidents with his customers which made her laugh, which was a rare sight.
"I am not drinking anymore, I am done." Zhou Liying placed her glass on the table.
"Lili, are you sick?" Zhou Bingbing asked surprised. "It was your fourth glass only and you are saying you are done. You usually drink ten glasses!"
"I am not sick. I am just trying to control my drinking habits. My last two experiences drinking were not very good." Zhou Liying shuddered when she remembered the incidents, how she was fooled by Mu Yuehan.

"Don't act like a scary cat now." She grumbled. "You know everyone would stop drinking with you."
And that was what happened, no one wanted to drink if Zhou Liying was not. They drink not because of addiction but for fun, to pass time.
They all decided to hit the dance floor.
"Why are you not coming to the dance floor with us?" Tang Ying asked Min Yue who did not stand up from her seat like others.
"I will be there in five minutes. I have to send an important mail." She showed him her mail app on her mobile phone.
Zhou Bingbing rolled her eyes when she heard her. "Lili has changed you. Now you too are a workaholic like her. Leave her here Ying. Let us hit the dance floor. I can see that Kris and Lili are already having their fun."
Kris had asked Zhou Liying for a couple dances and she had readily agreed.
"Are you angry that I hid about my marriage from you?" she asked, looking guilty.
"Truthfully, I am. I hoped that at least you will share your heart with me. You know I always suggest you the best."
"So many times I had thought of confining in you." She sighed. "But you know me." She shrugged.
Kris sighed. He knew Zhou Liying hated to share about her heart with others. She acted strong and believed that she could make everything correct all by herself. She doesn't need the help of others.
"Meet me in private room number six. We need to talk." He gave her a stern brotherly look."Maybe my advice will help you out, and will clear your doubts."
"Okay."
"First let me have some fun with BingBing."
Kris walked toward Zhou BingBing where Tang Ying joined Zhou Liying, unhappily.
"Why this sullen mood? Don't tell me that you wished to marry me?"
Tang Ying glared at his friend when she teased him. "You of all the people know that I have feelings for someone else. You have no right to tease me."
Zhou Liying chuckled. "Then tell me why this sullen face?"
"How can you marry without informing me?" he yelled loudly in irritation. Others looked at him as if he had gone mad but he did not care. "And where is the grand reception? Your party, where I will cater."
"I just suffered the biggest loss of my life and you are asking why I am sad and agree?" he scoffed. "For so long I had planned to theft you by doing catering for your wedding party. I wanted to earn a million but I lost that chance because you married without the party."
Tang Ying was not concerned about her wedding but the fact that he lost one of his expected orders.
"And to whom you married? Mu Yuehan. He too was my targeted customer. I planned to cater for his wedding this." He looked at her with disappointment. "I just lost my millions in a few seconds."
Zhou Liying chuckled at his cute disappointed face. She knew how much he looks forward to her wedding and reception. She had already remised him that she would give her wedding catering to him. Even though she had no plans of marriage at that time.
"Don't be disappointed. You will be handling the catering of BingBing. You will be earning a handsome sum."
"Not as much as I can earn in yours and Mu Yuehan's wedding. She, what can I do?" he shrugged his shoulders. "I can only pray that one day you both will throw a grand wedding reception and will invite me to be your caterer."
I have not even accepted this marriage and you are already dreaming of our reception." She rolled her eyes.
They both were dancing slowly to the music, unaware that a person standing hidden in a corner was clicking their photos. He had clicked many photos and was very satisfied with the result which he got.
"Why don't you confess your feelings to her?" Zhou Liying turned and looked at Min Yue who just arrived on the dance floor. "Confess before it is too late."
"What is the use of confessing when I know that I will be getting rejection only?" he shrugged in defeat. "She does not like me. For her, I am a stranger, she knows me only because I am your friend. Otherwise, I am no one to her."
He sighed sadly. "On Valentine's day, I suggested to her that I can marry you, only to see her exaction, but she was not at all affected that I wanted t to marry you. I am no one to her."
Zhou Liying felt sad for her friend. She knew how much he liked Min Yue. In the past, she tried to cupid them but failed and her failure was the reason that Tang Ying came to Shanghai.
When she asked Min Yue to go on the date, she had expected that she would approach Tang Ying, but she was wrong. As said by him, Min Yue only treated him as her friend, nothing more.
